Chapter 16, Problem 7A
A mechanism of control in E. coli not discussed in this chapter involves pausing of ribosomes allowing a transcription terminator to form in the mRNA. In eukaryotic fission yeast, this mechanism should
a. be common since they are unicellular.
b. not be common since they are unicellular.
c. not occur as transcription occurs in the nucleus and translation in the cytoplasm.
d. not occur due to possibility of alternative splicing.

1)You add a drug to cells that can pass through hydrophilic or hydrobic environments (e.g., membranes & cytosol). The drug specifically prevents the binding of KDEL (ER retention signal) to any other molecules. In the short term, what would happen to the synthesis and localization of translocon proteins?
a. New complete translocon proteins would be made, but they would end up in the golgi apparatus.
b. New complete translocon proteins would be made, but they would end up at the plasma membrane
c. No new intact translocon proteins would be synthesized
d. New complete translocon proteins would be made, but they would be secreted
e. New complete translocon proteins would be made and localized normally
