Question

In eukaryotic initiation, one will often see the sequence ACCAUGG as a translational start sequence. This sequence is known as the ________ sequence.

a.Okazaki ETS (eukaryotic translational start)
b.Kozak IRES (internal ribosome entry sequence)

Answer 1

Kozak sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

In eukaryotes, the Kozak sequence (A/GCCAUGG) is a consensus motif that showed to be crucial for the initiation of the protein translation process. The Kozak sequence was corroborated by sequencing and site-mutagenesis experiments using more than 650 different vertebrate mRNAs
