Assignment details for part one:

Transcribe and translate EACH of the three following DNA genesequences. Turn these in using the graphic organizer. The lettersrepresent the DNA N-base sequences of the genes.

The first is the original gene. The next two are mutations of theoriginal. Note that the changes (mutations) are shown in red.

Original Gene sequence 3'-T A C C C T T T A G T A G C C A CT-5

Mutated gene sequence 1 3â-T A C G C T T T A G T A G C C A TT-5'

Mutated gene sequence 2 3â-T A A C C T T T A C T A G G C A CT-5â

Also, answer the following questions:

â¢What is the significance of the first and last codons of an mRNAtranscript?
â¢What meaning do these mRNA codons have for proteinsynthesis?
â¢Did the mutations result in a change in the final proteins? If so,describe the change.
â¢In general, why might a change in amino acid sequence affectprotein function?

5). The table shows five different mutations of a small section of a gene.

Use the base-pairing rules to complete the second column. For each mutation, write the sequence for any mRNA codons that will be changed as a result of the mutation in bold. Write any codons that wonât be changed in regular font.

Using the genetic code chart from question #3, identify any stop codons in the mRNA molecules â write these codons in red

For each mutation, write any amino acids that will be changed in the last column in bold font. Use red XXXs to indicate any amino acids that will be missing as a result of stop codons and use use regular font indicate any amino acids that will not be changed.

I need help with Part B. I believe that part A is correct.

a) You also wish to synthesize a degenerate oligonucleotide primer that could be used eventually to clone DNA that encodes your mutant protein. Design this degenerate oligo, keeping in mind the rules we talked about in class. More information about designing degenerate primers and primers in general are located on the following page.

Write out the sequence of this oligo here based on this amino acid sequence (Met Ala Pro Met Val Ala Glu):

My answer (Is it correct?)

I got:

5â AUG - (GCU/C/A/G) - (CCU/C/A/G) - (AUG) - (GUU/C/A/G) - (GCU/C/A/G) - (GAA/G) â3

3â UAC - (CGA/G/U/C) - (GGA/G/U/C) - (UAC) - (CAA/G/U/C) - (CGA/G/U/C) - (CUU/C) 5â

______________________________________________________________________________

(What I actually need help with and have no idea where to begin. Please help me)

b) If you synthesized the above oligonucleotide primer, how many different oligos would be present in the mixture?

Follow these rules Modified from the Thermo Fisher web site:

Designing degenerate primers:

Write out your amino acid sequence, label amino and carboxy termini

For each amino acid, use the genetic code to predict the various nucleic acid codons that can encode this amino acid. For all but Met, you should have redundancy present.

Now you need think about 5â and 3â considerations, and keep in mind that DNA within genes is double-stranded. It is helpful to keep in mind that the 5â end of a gene corresponds to the amino terminus of a protein. Using 5â and 3â labels write out a single strand DNA sequence corresponding to the your amino seq of interest. You may choose to start with only possible codon for each amino acid, or you can do all possibilities using the notation I showed you in class to account for the wobble position of codons.

Now make your DNA double stranded by filling in the opposite DNA strand; label the 5â and 3â ends of this second strand and make sure you have an anti-parallel arrangement of DNA strands.

If you havenât already, now consider the redundancy present on both strands, and make sure you have indicated sequences that account for all possible redundancies.

Realize that when a researched synthesizes a degenerate oligo that the final synthesis contains oligos with every substitution possible. The amount of degeneracy is defined by the number of different primer combinations in the mix. You can determine the degree of degeneracy by multiplying the number of changes present at each position together. If a position has no degeneracy then you multiple by 1 for that position.

Keep in mind that the trade-off between primer specificity and efficiency can be modified by altering the degeneracy of the primer. For example, the more degenerate the primers, the less specific annealing will be; however, decreased degeneracy will allow more potential to identify unknown variants. Anything over 1024 fold degeneracy is at the upper limit of potential usefulness.
