Imagine a protein which functions in ER but requires modification in the Golgi apparatus before it can achieve that function. Describe the protein’s path through the cell starting with protein in ER, with the help of diagram.
The following image is based on real results from an influential experiment in cell biology. This experiment studied the role of the proteins Ran and importin in nuclear protein transport. The experiment used flourescently-labeled proteins containing a nuclear localization sequence (the "substrate"). Ran, importin, and GTP were either present or absent, as indicated in the figure. Cells were exposed to these different conditions and then analyzed by fluorescence microscopy. Circles are the cells' nuclei. Very light circles are the nuclei without the substrate attached. Study the figure below and then answer the questions that follow. 1. What actions does Ran perform by itself? 2. What actions does importin perform by itself? 3. How do Ran and importin act together in the nuclear import of protein? 4. Why is GTP required?
What can you infer about the structure and cellular localization of the protein below based on its hydropathy index? 40 -20 -40 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 240 Residue number A. It is a cytosolic protein B. It is a lysosomal enzyme that works in the lumen of the lysosome. O C. It is a cytosolic protein with a single-pass transmembrane domain O D. It is a multi-pass transmembrane protein that will be ultimately found on the cell surface but may also be found In the ER, Golgi, or lysosomal membranes. Hydropathic index
why do transmembrane proteins cross the phospholipid bilayer as an a-helix or B-barrel? A. These structures arrange polar peptide bonds and hydrogen bonds to the exterior of the helix or barrel while nonpolar side chains are on the interior. B. These structures sequester polar peptide bonds and hydrogen bonds to the interior of the helix or barrel while nonpolar sidechains are on the exterior.
The activity provides you with a version of the NGF pathway, an example of a RTK. All of the proteins involved can be in ON/OFF states. Using this cell signaling pathway you will be asked a variety of questions to determine how the molecules are regulated, but also how a cell would respond if this cell signaling party steps were interrupted or activated.

Fluorescence Intensity (Arbitrary Units) Time (Seconds) Time point of exposure to an intense laser Protein X appears to be completely immobilized in the membrane Protein X appears to be partially immobilized in the membrane You cannot make predictions about the mobility of Protein X with these data Protein X appears to be completely mobile in the membrane
Is this statement true or false? exlain why
suggest a reason why it would be advantageous for eukaryotic cells to evolve elaborate internal membrane systems that allow them to import substances from the outside.
Some cells in the pancreatic acinus form vesicles containing zymogens. Then the cells secrete the zymogens. Certain proteins called v-SNARES play a role in this process. What best describes the proteins called v-SNARES? a.) v-SNARES are proteins on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane that help vesicles to fuse with the plasma membrane b.) v-SNARES are a type of glycosphingolipid in the vesicle lipid bilayer that help maintain vesicle integrity c.) v-SNARES are proteins on the surface of vesicles that help the vesicle fuse with the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane d.) v-SNARES are proteins contained inside of vesicles that help stabilize the vesicle contents until the vesicle fuses with the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane
What is one reason that protein folding intermediates are prone to aggregation? a. Their hydrophobic chemical groups are exposed to solvent b. They have not formed enough hydrogen bonds c. They are not globular enough d. They have not formed any disulfide bonds
