- Indicate (x) if the following statements about synthesis of proteins containing an ER signal sequence are True or False: True False i. Translation is initiated by ribosomes located on the ER membrane The signal recognition particle (SRP) binds a sequence of nonpolar (hydrophobic) amino acids. ii. iii. The ER signal sequence may be cleaved by signal peptidase on the cytoplasmic side of the ER membrane. iv. The part of a transmembrane protein that will ultimately be located outside of the cell is inserted into the lumen of the ER during translation. A stop transfer sequence is a series of polar amino acids that halts translocation of a newly synthesized peptide into the ER lumen.arrow_forwardDefine and describe the roles of the following in transcription: a. transcription factors b.

- Select the best explanation of the unfolded protein response (UPR): O A. The UPR senses misfolded proteins through detection of proteins tagged with polyubiquitin chains and sends them for degradation in the lysosome B. The UPR senses misfolded proteins through recognition of specific oligosaccharide conformations and sends them for degradation via the proteasome C. The UPR senses high levels of misfolded proteins in the ER and activates ubiquitin ligases to add ubiquitin to the misfolded proteins and target them for secretion from the cell. D. The UPR senses ER stress in the form of high levels of misfolded proteins and signals the cell to halt translation and induces expression of ER chaperonesarrow_forwardA strain of bacteria possesses a temperature-sensitive mutation in the gene that encodes the rho subunit.

You are particularly interested in ABCB1,a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family of cell membrane transporters.Upregulation of these transmembrane proteins in cancer cells allows them to actively expeltherapeutic agents, which is a primary mechanism of chemotherapeutic drug resistance. 1. You are investigating a new drug, JB-80, that reduces ABCB1 mRNA levels in cancer cells.You want to determine if JB-80 is acting by reducing transcription of the ABCB1 gene, orby altering the stability of the resultant ABCB1 mRNA transcript.a) What compound could you use to test this question?b) What treatment groups would you include in your experiment ?c) If JB-80 works by enhancing degradation of the mRNA transcript, what would youexpect the relative abundance of ABCB1 mRNA to be in each treatment group of theexperiment from Question 1b? Please explain your answerarrow_forwardA KDEL sequence is a sequence of amino acids in a protein that binds a KDEL receptor, which helps recycle it back to the ER.
