A gene normally contains an N' terminal ER signal sequence and an internal stop transfer sequence. The ER signal sequence is
recognized and used during the protein trafficking process, as normal. After translation is completed a signal peptidase enzyme
cleaves the N' ER signal sequence but the internal sequence is not cleaved.

B) post-transcriptional control
C) post-translational control
D) epigenetic control
E) translational control
Define, explain, and differentiate between, the processes of transcription and translation. What enzymes or sub-cellular structures are responsible for carrying out these processes?

- As we learned when studying protein trafficking, proteins need a nuclear localization signal in order to move from the cytosol into the nucleus via the nuclear pore complex. Protein A contains a typical nuclear localization signal but surprisingly is usually found in the cytosol. When the cell is exposed to a certain hormone, protein A moves from the cytosol into the nucleus, where it turns on genes involved in cell division.When you purify protein A from cells that have not been treated with the hormone, you find that protein B is always complexed with it. To determine the function of protein B, you engineer cells lacking the gene for protein B. You compare normal and gene B deletion cells by separating and isolating the proteins found in the cytoplasm and those found in the nucleus. You then run these proteins on a protein electrophoresis gel to separate them by size. You identify the presence of protein A and protein B by looking for their characteristic bands on the gel (which is…arrow_forwardA protein complex in the nucleus is responsible for transporting mRNA molecules into the cytoplasm.

Organelles you should mention include the nucleus, nuclear membrane, nucleolus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, Golgi body, and plasma/cell membrane.arrow_forward
- Define the role of mRNA localization and translational control ?arrow_forwardYou are working in the lab, with a cell-free translational system that contains microsomes. Microsomes are artificial structures derived from pieces of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) formed during tissue homogenization. These microsomes lack the signal recognition particle or SRP. You translate an mRNA that codes for a secretory protein using this system. Which of the following outcomes do you expect?
