Three different ligands, Ligand Q, Ligand T, and Ligand W, bind to the same protein but with different affinity: The association constant (Ka) for the binding of Ligand Q to the protein is 0.033 nM-1. The fractional saturation (Y) of the protein is 0.20 when the concentration of Ligand T is 1.25 nM. The fractional saturation (Y) of the protein is 0.80 when the concentration of Ligand W is 72 nM. Given this information, Calculate Kd for the binding of each ligand to this protein. Which ligand binds with greatest affinity? Which ligand binds with the lowest affinity?
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (CAMP) is a molecule that can act as anallosteric activator of kinase enzymes inside of the cytoplasm. Describehow CAMP molecules affect kinase enzymes?
Consider a transmembrane protein that forms a hydrophilic pore across the plasma membrane of a eukaryotic cell, allowing Na+ to enter the cell when it is activated upon binding a specific ligand on its extracellular side. It is made of five similar transmembrane subunits, each containing a membrane-spanning α helix with hydrophilic amino acid side chains on one surface of the helix and hydrophobic amino acid side chains on the opposite surface. Considering the function of the protein as a channel for Na+ ions to enter the cell, propose a possible arrangement of the five membrane-spanning α helices in the membrane.

Protein A has a binding site for ligand X with a Kd of 10 −6 M. Protein B has a binding site for ligand X with a Kd of 10 −9 M. Which protein has a higher affinity for ligand X? Explain your reasoning. Convert the Kd to Ka for both proteins.
What is a KDEL motif? A The KDEL motif functions as a stop-transfer sequence in Type I membrane proteins. B The KDEL motif is a four amino acid sequence (Lysine-Aspartic acid-Glutamic acid-Leucine) that functions as an ER retention signal to keep proteins localized to the ER. C The KDEL motif is a sequence of four amino acids that targets proteins to the nucleus. D The KDEL motif is a sequence of four amino acids with positive charges that functions to bind RNA.

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…
You are interested in the mobility of two different unknown integral plasma membrane proteins—protein X and protein Y—in a cell. In one cell, you fluorescently label all the X proteins. In another cell, you label all the Y proteins. When you perform FRAP analysis on both cells, you find that most of the protein X fluorescence has recovered within 3 minutes, but recovery of the protein Y fluorescence is significantly slower. Even after 10 minutes, only 50% of the protein Y fluorescence has recovered. Describe the FRAP experimental protocol, explain what the results tell you about mobility of the X and Y proteins, and propose a possible explanation for why the mobilities of the two proteins differ.
What is the likely identity of these membrane associated proteins: (a) a protein that is released from a membrane treated with a high salt solution, which causes disruption of ionic linkages; (b) a protein that is not released from the membrane upon its exposure to a high salt solution alone, but is released when the membrane is incubated with an enzyme that cleaves phosphate glycerol bonds and covalent linkages are disrupted; (c) a protein that is not released from the membrane upon exposure to a high salt solution, but is released after the addition of the detergent sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). Will the activity of the protein released in part (c) be preserved following its release?
An SH2-containing protein contains a mutation that changes its binding pocket such that tyrosine and phosphotyrosine bind with equal afﬁnity. As a result, MEK activity: does not change with receptor dimerization and transautophosphorylation decreases due to changes in Raf activation increases with ligand binding-induced dimerization decreases due to allosteric inhibition of SH2-domain binding
