Chapter 5, Problem 2IQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The way in which one would recognize an integral membrane protein based only on the amino acid sequence.
Introduction: A cell membrane is also called a cytoplasmic membrane or plasma membrane. A transmembrane protein is a type of integral membrane protein. It spans the entirety of the cell membrane. The cell membranes consist of a variety of different transmembrane proteins.

- I am studying pancreatic islet cells and have isolated, cloned, and sequenced a novel protein that you postulate has 4 transmembrane segments. Name and explain two methods I could use to reconstitute a lipid bilayer to study the function of the transmembrane protein in vitro.arrow_forwardA group of membrane proteins can be extracted from membranes only by using detergents. All the proteins in this group have a similar amino acid sequence at their C-terminus: -KKKKKXXC (where K stands for lysine, X stands for any amino acid, and C stands for cysteine). This sequence is essential for their attachment to the membrane. What is the most likely way in which the C-terminal sequence attaches these proteins to the membrane? The cysteine residue is covalently attached to a membrane lipid. The peptide spans the membrane as an α helix. The peptide spans the membrane as part of a β sheet. The positively charged lysine residues interact with an acidic integral membrane protein.arrow_forwardI’m not sure which answer is correct for this question can you please help?arrow_forward
- The usual hydrophobic region of a membrane is around 30 Angstroms. Knowing this, about many amino acid residues would a transmembrane helix have?arrow_forwardB) We also know from studies of protein structure that one turn of an a-helix includes 3.6 amino acid residues and extends the long axis of the helix by - 0.56 nm. Approximately how many amino acids must a helical transmembrane segment of an integral membrane protein have if the segment is to span the lipid bilayer defined by two stearate molecules laid end to end, plus the polar head groups to which the stearate molecules are attached (assume a polar head group has a diameter of 0.5 nm)?arrow_forwardWhich amino acids would you expect to find buried in the interior of peripheral membrane protein ?arrow_forward

(b) What level is shown by tRNA? (c) What level is shown by mRNA?arrow_forwardAt what level of protein structure (primary, secondary, tertiary, or quaternary) will protein structure be initially altered? A mutation in the genetic sequence, which ultimately causes an amino acid to change(e.g. Trp – Asn – His turns into Trp – Arg – His) Dissolving a protein in a non-polar solvent (like oil) instead of water.arrow_forwardGreen Fluorescent Protein has regions that are very hydrophobic.
