You have identified a protein that is sorted to the peroxisome. Next, the peroxisome targeting sequence is mutated, and the newly translated mutated protein no longer sorts to the peroxisome. Where will the mutated protein MOST likely be found? O In the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. O In the lumen of the Golgi apparatus. O Outside of the peroxisomes. Inside the nucleus.

This figure below shows the organization of a protein that will end up in the ER membrane . The N-term and C-termini of the protein are labeled. Boxes 1,2, and 3 represent membrane spanning sequences. Non-membrane-spanning regions are labeled X, Y and Z. Once this protein is fully translocated , where will region Z end up? signal peptidase cleavage site NE O inserted in the ER membrane in the ER lumen O in the cytoplasm degraded by a signal peptidase
8) Indicate which of the five major types of membrane protein (adhesion, enzymatic, recognition, receptor, and transport) is most likely to be involved in each of the situations described below: a) An oncologist wants to study the cells from a certain tumour that has been surgically removed from a patient. However, she must first treat the tumour with a solution affects a membrane protein on the tumour cells. Because of the effect of the solution on the membrane protein, the tumour tissue falls apart into individual cells. Type of membrane protein: b) Farmer Jebediah wakes up in the morning and makes himself an extra-strong coffee. The caffeine in the coffee attaches to a protein in the plasma membrane of his neurons, inducing a signal transduction cascade and causing Farmer Jebediah to be more alert Type of membrane protein:
