Transcript
The LEU2 gene in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae is essential
for the organism's ability to make its own leucine and thus grow
on media lacking leucine. The nonsense mutation in LEU2
which is depicted below makes yeast incapable of synthesizing
their on leucine.
wild-type coding strand: 5'...UAC...3'
nonsense mutant allele: 5'... UAG... 3'
Researchers found a leu+ revertant in which one of the tRNASer
genes underwent a single base substitution to become a
nonsense suppressor. Which of the following could represent
the anti-codon of this mutant tRNA?
1. 5'...CUA...3'
2. 5'...AUC...3'
3. 5'...CUU...3'
4. 5'...CGA...3'
