(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “The polypeptide to be transported into the organelle has a specific short stretch of amino acids that targets the polypeptide to the organelle.” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “The signal sequence is always at the polypeptide’s N-terminus and is cut off by a peptidase within the organelle” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “The signal sequence is recognized and bound by a receptor protein in the organelle’s outer membrane.” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “ATP hydrolysis is known to be required for the translocation process.” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: the The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “GTP hydrolysis is known to be required for the translocation process.” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(f)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “Chaperone proteins are involved during translocation of the protein” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(g)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “The imported protein is transported in membranous vesicle prior to import” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(h)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “The imported protein enters the organelle through a protein pore that consists of more than two dozen proteins and is large enough to be readily seen with the electron microscope.” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.
