175. A 70-year-old man comes to the physician because of a 1-month history of heavy, pressing substernal chest pain that occurs when he walks up a flight of stairs. The symptoms are relieved by rest. The physician prescribes a drug to alleviate the symptoms. Within the cell, the drug acts by breaking down into a compound that binds to a protein to increase intracellular concentrations of cGMP, resulting in vasodilation. This binding most likely occurs in which of the following cell locations? A) Cytosol B) Golgi complex C) Mitochondria D) Nucleus E) Peroxisome F) Plasma membrane
Protein structure and function: a) Name two common post-translational modifications of proteins in the cell that will affect their structure/function. b) What are prions? Briefly describe their structure and function. C) Explain the principles of protein folding and significance of urea and Bmercaptoethanol in the experimental procedures addressing this question.
6) Proteins can be modified by phosphorylation, which adds a phosphate group to the hydroxyl group of serine, threonine, or tyrosine residues. The R-group for phosphoserine is shown at right. A) The image below is an Isoelectric focusing strip that shows the unphosphorylated protein-of-interest (in blue). To which side of the unphosphorylated protein would you expect to see the phosphorylated protein? (Draw an arrow to indicate direction). Briefly justify your answer. un-phosphorylatable: Low pH Justify: B) To study the effects of phosphorylation, researchers often mutate a Ser/Thr to appear as though it is always phosphorylated or never phosphorylated at a particular site. What amino acid substitution should you use to preserve similar dimensions as Ser (or Thr) but make the side chain appear to be: constitutively (always) phosphorylated: Justify: Ser or Thr → O O=P-O O I CH₂ Ser or Thr➜ Phosphoserine High pH
