Frameshift Mutations • READING FRAME - Translation of an mRNA must start at the appropriate AUG of the mRNA and work along the mRNA in a 5' ----> 3' direction, reading the mRNA in units of 3. It must read in the exactly correct sequence of 3-base codons. • Demonstration: • THE FAT CAT ATE THE BIG RAT • HEF ATC ATA TET HEB IGR AT
Frameshift Mutation • Frameshift mutations change the reading frame of the messenger RNA. • For example: Template strand of DNA • 3'-TACAGAGTGCTGCAT…-5' • 5'-AUGUCUCACGACGUA…-3' mRNA • AUG UCU CAC GAC GUA… codons • fMet -- Ser -- His -- Asp -- Val… • Through a deletion, the DNA strand loses the fifth base in the sequence above: • 3'-TACAAGTGCTGCAT…-5' • 5'-AUGUUCACGACGUA…-3' mRNA • AUG UUC ACG ACG UA… • fMet-- Phe -- Thr -- Thr…
