Introns? Number of copies? Presence of deleterious mutations? Poly A Tail?

Expert Solution

Pseudogenes also known as genomic fossils are those genes which do resemble with functional genes but they do ot have coding-sequences. There are two types of pseudogenes i.e. Processed and unprocessed

a) Processed pseudogenes: These are considered as copies of mRNAs which are processed by reverse transcription process. A total of 20,000 genes have been classified as processed pseudogenes

b) Unprocessed pseudogenes: These are those genes which are produced by duplication of genomic DNA and have undergone one or more than one mutations. They are non-expressive in nature, contain introns/stop codons and does not contain polyA tail and untrascribed promoter part. A total of 1,918 human gens have been classified as unprocessed pseudogenes.

Thus, non-processed pseudogenes differ from processsed ones in terms of : Introns, Presence of deleterious mutations, lack of Poly A Tail & Number of copies

Leigh syndrome is a mitochondrial disorder that can be caused by a number of mutations. One of the more common mutations is a defect in the SURF1 protein which is responsible for correct insertion of cytochrome a3 in complex IV. The syndrome is usually triggered in infants by stress and leads to episodic developmental regression during times of stress. Other common symptoms can include excess lactate in body fluids and cardiomyopathy. a) What are the biochemical results to be expected...
