an Auxotrophic E

question 67

Multiple Choice

Use the following to answer questions
An auxotrophic E. coli strain requires adenine to grow because of a mutation in a gene for an adenine synthesis enzyme. The following shows part of the wild-type and mutant alleles of the gene, including the start codon. The bottom strand is the template for transcription. $$\begin{array} { c c } \text { ade } 1 ^ { + } \text {wild-type allele } & \text { ade1 } ^ { - } \text {mutant allele } \\\text { 5'...TTATGGGCAAGATCCCA...3' } & \text { 5'....TTA TGGGCTAGATCCCA...3' } \\\text { 3'...AATACCCGTTCTAGGGT...5' } & \text { 3'...AATATGGGCTAGATCCCA...3' }\end{array}$$
-E. coli strains that have both the original ade1^- mutant allele shown above and a mutant allele for a gene that encodes a lysine tRNA are able to make some normal ade1 enzyme. The mutant lysine tRNA allele makes a tRNA that has one base that is different from the wild-type tRNA. Which of the following statements would help explain how the lysine tRNA mutation allows synthesis of the normal ade1 enzyme? (Select all that apply.)

• A) The mutation in the lysine tRNA gene changes the sequence of the anticodon.
• B) The mutant tRNA pairs with UAG, a stop codon.
• C) When the mRNA from the ade1^- allele is being translated, a mutant tRNA^lysine could incorporate a lysine into the protein, bypassing the mutant UAG.
• D) The ade1^- mutant would always result in a stop signal regardless of the mutant tRNA.
• E) The mutant tRNA would always match with UAG and prevent normal termination of the polypeptide chain.
