general DNA coding genetic question

[clipper565]

The following segment of DNA codes for a protein (Uppercase letters represent exons, lower case letters represent introns):

5’GCTAAATGGCAaaattgccggatgacGCACATTGACTCGGaatcgaGGTCAGATGC3’

 

My question is this: What is missing from this sequence that we would need for the gene to make it's product if we were looking at an intact gene?

this be homework, methinks

 

think about the process of turning DNA --> protiens, and it should be obvious what bits of DNA are needed for that process to happen, but isn't there

[clipper565]

is that TATAA box? cause the ATG six bases in looks like it can work as a 'start' codon right?

[CharonY]

DNA regions encoding a protein do not, per definitionem, contain regions upstream of the coding sequence...

[clipper565]

back to topic: what are the sequences upstream that would perpetrate the gene product?
