Chapter 10, Problem 2CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The similarities and differences in the structures and functions of cadherins and integrins proteins found in animal cells.
Introduction:
In a multicellular organism, cells are linked to each other by specialized structures called cell junctions. Three types of junctions found between cells in animals are anchoring junctions, tight junctions, and gap junctions.

Consider the amino acids on the image below. Which of the following amino acids would be most likely to be found in the part of an integral membrane protein that is located within the membrane? (Select all answers that apply.)
Asparagine (Asn)
Lysine (Lys)
Phenylalanine (Phe)
Valine (Val)
Glutamic acid (Glu)
Methionine (Met)
What is the advantage of expressing a protein in mammalian cells versus bacteria?
To construct an “interactome” like the one shown in Figure 9-21, scientists identify all of the protein interactions in a particular tissue or cell type. Comparison of interactomes from human muscle versus human brain tissue reveals very different patterns. If you were the scientist involved in this study, how would you explain these results?

- Inside of skeletal muscle cells are voltage-controlled calcium ion (Ca2+) gate proteins. These are integral for the contraction mechanisms of skeletal muscle. A picture of them is shown below. These are regulated by voltage, as indicated above. How would voltage serve to open or close these gates? Voltage is a component of hydrogen bonds, which is necessary to maintain the secondary structure of the protein; without voltage, the protein starts to chemically degrade. Voltage actually does not serve as the direct mechanism of opening or closing gated proteins. Changing the voltage changes whether the R groups are charged or not, which alters the actual primary structure of the protein Changing voltage changes the nature of the tertiary structure, causing the protein to change its shape to open or close.arrow_forwardArrange the following terms in order of decreasing specialization: oligopotency, pleuripotency, unipotency, multipotencyarrow_forwardConsider Molecule X, which is found in all living cells. Each form of this molecule is keyed to the genetic code for a particular amino acid. When activated, the amino acid is covalently bonded to one end of this molecule, and it carries the amino acid to a ribosome to take part in protein assembly. What is the name of X? Your answer should be one word, or a short two- or three-word phrase. Spelling counts. Note: if there is more than one possible answer, separate each answer with a comma. 0arrow_forward
