A polylinker for expression of aβ-galactosidase fusion protein

Figure shows a polylinker that falls within theβ-galactosidase coding region of the lacZ gene. This polylinker serves as a cloning site in a fusion protein expression vector where the cloned insert is expressed as a β-galactosidase fusion protein. Assume the vector polylinker was cleaved withBamHI and then ligated with an insert whose sequence reads

What is the amino acid sequence of the fusion protein? Where is the junction betweenβ- galactosidase and the sequence encoded by the insert? (Consult the genetic code table on the inside front cover to decipher the amino acid sequence.)
