IntronExon
The amino acids that signal the enzyme to cut the DNA could be lost in the deletion resulting in the DNA not being cut as it normally would. This deletion could also cause a frame shift that could change the amino acids that occur after the mutation. This could lead to the base sequence that the enzyme cuts to appear more or less frequently than normal, causing the DNA to be cut differently. This would affect the size, shape, and function of the protein created, causing a deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase resulting in PKU.
Group # 1:
Questions:1. Mental retardation 2. Dihydropteridine reductase 3. Autosomal recessive4. Incidence: 1 in 10,000 Allele Frequency: 1 in 100
Deletion of Exon results in loss of 52 amino acids
protein would be smaller than normal and take on a different shape because the charges of the amino acid and alter the way they bind together

•The codon for Glutamate (gaa) was mutated to a codon for Lysine (aaa).
•This would cause the loss of a negatively charged amino acid which is then replaced with a positively charged amino acid.

Serine is an uncharged polar amino acid, which is replaced with phenylalanine an uncharged nonpolar amino acid. Changing from polar to nonpolar would be crucial to the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, which normally converts phenylalanine to the amino acid, tyrosine.

The deletions of the bases in codon 376 and 377 caused a
stop codon to be created at 399, making a premature termination in the protein.
