You have discovered a novel receptor that contains a NLS, a KKXX, and a mitochondrial localization signal sequence. What would be the most likely destination of the protein if the NLS signal sequence was removed? The protein would be retained in the nucleus The protein would localize to the plasma membrane The protein would stay in the cytoplasm The protein would be retained in the ER The protein would localize to the mitochondria

Researchers use a technique call RNA interference to knock down (i.e. not completely gone) the Bcl-2 gene in the amygdala of lab animals. What cellular response would you expect to occur? Question 1 options: A) An increase in apoptosis; many cells in the area would die B) An increase in axon regrowth after injury C) A decrease in cytochrome c levels released from the mitochondria D) A decrease in glial cell infiltration after injury
When nerve cells contact each other, they form adherens junctions (AJs) at the point of contact. The main transmembrane (TM) protein in the junctions is N-cadherin. N-cadherin is a single pass TM protein with a short intracellular domain and a large extracellular domain on the amino end. Proper formation of the AJs requires both actin (MF) and microtubules (MTs). Motor proteins for MTs are dynein (-) end and kinesin (+) end (and were discovered by Michael Sheetz). Maintenance of preformed AJs requires MFs . Adding drugs that disrupt MFs causes AJs to fall apart, and the N-cadherin is removed from the PM (by endocytosis). If the drugs are removed, MTs (& MFs) are required to restore the N-cadherin to the plasma membrane. choose answer for D1 and D2 D. Suppose cells contain a soluble kinase that modifies N-cadherin that has been removed from the PM. D-1. The kinase could catalyze modification(s) of the side chains of amino acids near (the N end) (the C end) (either end, but not…
As we age our skin becomes thin and easily tears. One potential reason to explain would be if adjacent cells within the skin lose the ability to attach to each other strongly. Another reason could be that cells lose the ability to attach strongly to the extracellular matrix. Compare and contrast these membrane functions and suggest which proteins might be “lost” as we age to cause the loss of attachment function in each scenario
AAA is a protein found in both the cytosol as well as the nucleus. In this active state, it helps to facilitate the movement of proteins into and out of the nucleus. Specifically, AAA-alpha and AAA-beta binds to receptors on the nucleus and allows for materials to enter or exit through the channels associated with the receptors. They also play a role in dropping off cargo that import and export receptors hold onto. AAA functions are cotrolled by two other proteins: BBB and CCC. BBB binds onto AAA, while CCC removes BBB from AAA when they are bound. As a result, there is a BBB and CCC concentration gradient that forms between the cytososl and nucleus. During prophase I, is there a concentration gradient for BBB and CCC between the cytosol and the nucleus? Why? is this also the case during the other phases of meiosis or the cell cycle?

What would most likely occur to nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling if the intrinsic GTPase activity of RAN was slowed down by 50%? Group of answer choices RAN would not bind exportin and proteins would accumulate in the nucleus All of the answers are likely None of the answers are likely Importin beta would not release from RAN in the cytoplasm and nuclear import would slow down RAN would not bind to importin beta and protein cargo in the nucleus would not release
Which statement about the M6P receptor is true/accurate? Answers: It is involved in retrieval of ER resident proteins from the Golgi and transport back to the ER. Due to no difference in pH in the lumen of each, it has the same affinity for M6P in the Golgi as in the endosome. Due to a slight difference in pH in the lumen of each, it has a high affinity for M6P in the Golgi and a low affinity for M6P in the endosome. Due to a slight difference in pH in the lumen of each, it has a low affinity for M6P in the Golgi and a high affinity for M6P in the endosome.
a universal feature of cell signaling receptors is that they? a. undergo a structural (shape) change when the signal molecule is bound b. are present only in the plasma membrane c. are only ion channels d. are protein kinases e. aer only nuclear receptors
Neurons have long thin processes called axons, structuresspecialized for conducting signals throughout the organism’s nervous system. Some axonal processes can be as long as 2 m—for example, the axons that originate in your spinal cord and terminate in the muscles of your toes. Small membrane-enclosed vesicles carrying materials essential to axonal function move along microtubules of the cytoskeleton, from the cell body to the tips of the axons. If the average velocity of a vesicle is 1 μm/s, how long does it take a vesicle to move from a cell body in the spinal cord to the axonal tip in the toes?
An analog of cGMP, 8-Br-cGMP, will permeate cellular membranes, is only slowly degraded by a rod cell’s PDE activity, and is as effective as cGMP in opening the gated channel in the cell’s outer segment. If you suspended rod cells in a buffer containing a relatively high [8-Br-cGMP], then illuminatedthe cells while measuring their membrane potential, what would you observe?
