Bending the spec a bit at 123 (regarding treatment of leftover base pairs): 
sub f {
$_=pop;y/ACUG/0123/;s|(.)(.)(.)|(map{ord>91?uc:(),uc}
'KnKttiIMRsRQhQppllrr.y.ssLfL.cWEdEaavvgg'=~/./g)[$1*16+$2*4+$3]|eg;$_
}

    Stunning, to say the least, but what is more stunning is the amateurish oversight that I made myself when posting my entry. How could I have not used the range feature of tr? I feel silly, but at least I'm not alone: 
    sub f {
$_=pop;y/ACUG/0-3/;s|(.)(.)(.)|(map{ord>91?uc:(),uc}
'KnKttiIMRsRQhQppllrr.y.ssLfL.cWEdEaavvgg'=~/./g)[$1*16+$2*4+$3]|eg;$_
}

    I was looking at my entry, trying to save a few strokes, motivated by scain's Benchmarks posted below. It was immediately obvious how to save a few strokes, now that I'm awake and caffinated and all. Revised, mine ended up at 133, still a ways off of MeowChow at the new and improved 122 posted above: 
    sub f{
$_=pop;y/UCAG/0-3/;s/(.)(.)(.)/substr
"FFLLSSSSYY..CC.WLLLLPPPPHHQQRRRRIIIMTTTTNNKKSSRRVVVVAAAADDEEGGGG",
$1<<4|$2*4|$3,1/ge;s/\d//g;$_
}
