Summary Introduction
Introduction: Collagen is the structural protein that forms large fibers that give the extracellular matrix its strength and elasticity. An important function of collagen is to provide tensile strength. Tensile strength is a measure of how much stretching force a material can bear without tearing apart. It is defined as the ability of a material to withstand stress before breaking.

- Neurofilament proteins assemble into long, intermediate filaments , found in abundance running along the length of nerve cell axons. The C-terminal region of these proteins is an unstructured polypeptide, hundreds of amino acids long and heavily modified by the addition of phosphate groups. The term “polymer brush” has been applied to this part of the neurofilament. can you suggest why?arrow_forwardSelect the most accurate explanation for how vesicular transport occurs when a receptor is moving from the plasma memberane to the late endosome/lysosome.

They are both actin-nucleating proteins D. They both assemble long actin filaments E. They are both controlled by signal transduction pathwaysarrow_forwardMuch of procollagen formation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus which requires signal peptide. All of the following statements about targeting a protein for the ER are true except A. signal peptide usually has a positively charged N-terminus and a stretch of hydrophobic amino acids. B. signal peptide emerging from a free ribosome binds signal recognition particle (SRP). C. signal peptide is usually cleaved from the protein before the protein is inserted into the ER membrane. D. docking protein is actually an SRP receptor and serves to bind the SRP to the ER. E. SRP and docking protein do not enter the ER lumen but are recycled.arrow_forward
- 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 polymerasearrow_forward34. Which of the following proteins playsaimportant role in the geometry of sarcomere and in sarcomerogenesis? A. GAPDH B. Colligen C.Titin D. Utropitin E. ureasearrow_forwardInside 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_forward
