Question 50

(Short Answer)

You have identified an RNA-binding protein that can bind directly (with varying affinities) to mRNA molecules that bear the following sequences near the 3' splice sites of their exons. Based on these results, what is the five-nucleotide consensus sequence for the binding site of this protein? Your answer would be a five-letter string composed of letters A, U, C, or G only; e.g. UUUAG.
