Questão 1
Questão
What would be the likely cellular effects of a large deletion in the gene encoding the polymerase responsible for adding 3′ poly(A) tails to eukaryotic mRNAs?
Responda
-
Inactivation of the polymerase would lead to incomplete pre-mRNA processing, including 3′ end formation, splicing, editing, and transport—and would certainly be lethal.

Questão 2
Questão
Compare and contrast splicing mechanisms used by spliceosomes, group I introns, and group II introns, with respect to the nucleophiles, proteins, or nucleic acids involved and how the specificity of splice sites is achieved.
Responda
-
Group I and group II introns are generally self-splicing, with only the RNA backbone of the intron required for the reaction in vitro. The nucleophile in the first step, cleavage of the 5′ splice site, is a guanine nucleotide or nucleoside for group I introns, and the 2′-OH of an internal A residue for group II introns. The second step uses the liberated 3′-OH at the 5′ splice site as nucleophile to attack the phosphodiester bond at the 3′ splice site, joining the exons. Site specificity is aided by guide sequences that are part of the intron structures. Introns removed with spliceosomes follow a mechanism similar to group II introns, but also rely on the spliceosome ribonucleoprotein complex to catalyze their excision.
-
None
Questão 3
Questão
Self-splicing introns do not require an energy source, such as ATP or GTP, to catalyze splicing. How does self-splicing proceed with a reasonable yield of products?
Responda
-
Self-splicing catalyzes phosphodiester exchange reactions with no net loss or gain of energy. Bonds are broken and re-formed with different nucleotides, and there is no change in the number of phosphodiester bonds, just in the covalent bonding partners. Thus, there is no net change in free energy from reactants to products.
-
none
