You genetically engineered a cell to no longer contain the extracellular domain of an integrin. What is the most likely effect of losing this domain on the cell's ability to bind? It would affect the cell's ability to attach to the ECM. It would affect both the cell's ability to attach to other cells and the cell's ability to attach to the cytoskeleton. It would affect the cell's ability to attach to the cytoskeleton through adaptor proteins. It would have no effect on the cell's ability to attach to anything.

Defense Mechanism

Circumstances influence and compel people to behave in a certain way. One such behavior is a defense mechanism. It is employed by people to escape from unpleasant circumstances, thoughts and actions. Defense mechanisms are, thus, psychological strategies that help to avert and avoid unwanted feelings such as guilt or shame and situations such as threat and danger.

Question

You genetically engineered a cell to no longer contain the extracellular domain of an integrin. What is the most likely effect of losing this domain on the cell's ability to bind?

List and describe the three main types of cytoskeleton. If you wanted to do immunocytochemistry to specifically stain each type of cytoskeleton, what is a protein that could be used for each cytoskeletal type (in other words, what is a unique protein for each cytoskeletal type)? What are three types of actin structures? Describe the involvement of actin structures in cell migration. How is the growth and shrinking of microtubules regulated? Then describe the roles of microtubules in: chromosomal separation during mitosis and the movement of organelles and vesicles within a cell. Describe a possible mechanism on how signaling pathways might impact the cytoskeleton, so that cell migration could be regulated in a localized manner within a multicellular organism. (hint: think about the possible transcriptional regulation of the G-protein regulators) What are 2 main challenges of protein targeting? Then describe one way these challenges are overcome during signal-based targeting and one way…
Which of the following proteins would you expect to be translated by a ribosome associated with the rough endoplasmic reticulum? A. A potassium channel that localizes to the plasma membrane B. Pyruvate kinase (a protein involved in glycolysis) C. A component of RNA polymerase II (a.k.a. RNA Polymerase 2) D. A component of DNA polymerase
What would happen to the cytoskeleton if you replaced all of the normal GTP in cells with a chemical variant of GTP that behaves in every way like normal GTP except that it cannot be hydrolyzed to GDP? It would prevent BOTH polymerization and depolymerization of microtubules. It would prevent microtubule polymerization. It would NOT affect EITHER polymerization or depolymerization of microtubules. It would prevent microtubule depolymerization.
The following are steps that occur when a protein is targeted for synthesis on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Which of the following indicates the correct sequence for the signal mechanism that targets proteins for the ER? The SRP leaves and polypeptide synthesis resumes, with simultaneous translocation across the membrane. Polypeptide synthesis begins on a free ribosome in the cytosol. An SRP binds to the signal peptide, halting synthesis momentarily. The rest of the completed polypeptide leaves the ribosome and folds into its final conformation. The SRP binds to a receptor protein in the ER membrane that is part of a protein complex that forms a pore. The signal peptide is cleaved by an enzyme in the receptor protein complex. A. 2, 3, 5, 1, 6, 4 B. 2 ,3, 5, 6, 1, 4 C. 3, 1, 6, 5, 2, 4 D. 3, 2, 1, 5, 6, 4
What is a microfilament? A. A cytoskeletal element composed of tubulin that forms a dynamic scaffolding for many cellular processes involving movement B. A type of energy-using protein that interacts with cytoskeletal elements to move the cell C. A stable cytoskeletal element composed of fibrous proteins that structurally supports cells and tissues D. A cytoskeletal element made of actin that reinforces cell membranes and functions in cell movement
What is the difference between ER-bound ribosomes and ribosomes you find in the cytoplasm? There is no difference, they are the same molecules and bind any mRNA they encounter ER ribosomes only bind the mRNA that codes for proteins that are supposed to go to the ER Cytoplasmic ribosomes only bind the mRNA that codes for proteins that are supposed to stay in the cytosol They are structurally different molecules with specific functions All of the above
You treat a cell with a fluorescently-labelled antibody that recognizes microtubules, and you observe what appears to be a spindle apparatus. Is the cell a prokaryote or a eukaryote? Explain. Some archaebacteria species live in extremely high-salt environments. Cite a specific example of protein modification that has allowed these bacteria to accomplish this.
Fill in the blank sentences below: ________ is a protein-lined channel in the nuclear envelope that regulates the transportation of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm; inside the nucleus , ________________ process happens which involve making an RNA copy of a gene sequence known as ____ molecule, that leaves the cell nucleus through the ______ and enters the cytoplasm where it binds to a ________ that serves as a template for ______ that directs the synthesis of the protein, which it encodes; ribosomes are of two kinds, one is floating in the cytoplasm which is the ______ribosome while the other is attach to ER known as ___ ribosome; proteins in the cell can be packaged, modify and distribute by the __________ and can be delivered to an organelle that produce ATP which is the _____.
As a researcher who studies cytoskeletal dynamics, you create a microtubule subunit that cannot hydrolyze GTP. How would the critical concentration for the minus end of a polymer formed by these mutant subunits compare to that of the minus end of a fiber formed by normal microtubule subunits? Why? How would the critical concentration for the minus end of a fiber formed by these mutant subunits compare to that of the plus end of a fiber formed by normal microtubule subunits? Why?
