In eukaryotic cells secreted proteins are targeted first to the endoplasmic reticulum and then pass through the Golgi, before being released from secretory vesicles into the extracellular space. A much simpler route would be for ribosomes synthesising secretory proteins to be targeted to a translocon in the plasma membrane, with the protein being secreted directly as it is translated. List three potential advantages of the former, more circuitous, route for protein secretion over the simpler, more direct, alternative route suggested.

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…
