Title: The Shine-Dalgarno sequence (Multiple Choice)
Post by: mikael on Jan 9, 2014
The Shine-Dalgarno sequence
A) is a purine-rich consensus sequence found in the 5′ UTR of the mRNA.
B) is a pyrimidine-rich consensus sequence found in the 3′ UTR of the mRNA.
C) is a purine-rich consensus sequence found in the 16S rRNA subunit.
D) is a region of the tRNA molecule involved in formation of charged tRNAs.
E) is a consensus sequence involved in the termination of translation.

The Shine-Dalgarno sequence is purine rich.  It forms base pairing with a highly conserved, pyrimidine-rich region of the 16 rRNA which is part of the 30S ribosomal subunit.
