Question asked by Filo student
A novel enzyme (Membrane-Lipase) is discovered. You know that it contains 6 exons and 5 introns. You also know that Exon 3 has a catalytic active site capable of lipid hydrolysis and exon 5 contains a lipid binding site capable of membrane binding. A through E outline potential sequences that could arise via alternative splicing. Which of these represents potential mature mRNA transcripts that also contain BOTH catalytic activity and membrane binding activity? Note: 5' cap and poly-A tail are not shown. "Membrane-Lipase" pre-mRNA Outline: Exon 1 Exon 2 Exon 3 Intron 2 Intron 3 Intron 4 Intron 5 Exon 3 Exon 4 Exon 5 Exon 6 mRNA - A mRNA - B mRNA - C mRNA - D mRNA - E
