Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 16.4CC
You are studying a cytosolic protein, and your friend is studying nuclear localization sequences in her favorite protein. How could you work together to show that her NLS is sufficient to cause any protein, including yours, to move into the nucleus?

Consider 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.

Consider two different proteins that are leaving from the Golgi in order to arrive in their common destination, a lysosome. In order for these two different proteins to be sent to the same place, what should they have in common?
A) They must have the same primary structure
B) They must have been imported into the cell by endocytosis.
C) They must have the same tertiary structure
D) They probably have the same glycosylation pattern.
..
The nucleus is the largest of the eukaryotic organelles and contains the genome of the organism.
a) describe the proteins and process of nuclear import and export.
b) describe, in general terms, an experiment that could be conducted to show that there are specific signals for nuclear import or export.

- The biological process shown in Figure 1 occurs in a eukaryotic cell’s nucleus. d) Name X and state how it functions in a protein synthesis. e) Give three differences between molecules X and Y.arrow_forwardList three potential organelle destinations for a free ribosome (cytosolic-produced) protein via transmembrane protein translocation:arrow_forwardThe nucleus houses and protects the DNA within eukaryotic cells. To keep the DNA safe, the passage of materials in and out of the nucleus is highly restricted. Explain the route by which molecules can enter/exit the nucleus. In addition, briefly describe 5 types of proteins that are allowed entry into the nucleus and their roles.arrow_forward
- Unlike bacterial cells, the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell is bounded by a double-layered membrane studded by complex pores. How do you think this might affect traffic between the DNA and cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell compared to that of a prokaryotic cell?arrow_forwardExplain how and why chromatin is condensed in the nucleus?arrow_forwardWhat is the structure and components of the nucleosome? Briefly explain with your words.arrow_forward
- In eukaryotic cells, secreted proteins are initially directed to the endoplasmic reticulum and then via the Golgi, where they are released into the extracellular environment through secretory vesicles. A more easier way would be for secretory protein-producing ribosomes to be localised to a translocon in the plasma membrane, with the protein being secreted directly during translation. Consider three possible benefits of the more roundabout method for protein secretion versus the simpler, more straightforward approach indicated.arrow_forwardWhy is it an advantage for eukaryotic cells to have different compartments (aka organelles) in the cell (separated by membranes) with different environments (ex: different pH’s, different enzymes present, etc)?arrow_forwardPick and define two terms that use to describe the various proteins/enzymes or cellular processes inside a cell (axel, code, etc.). Why are these terms appropriate? Where else in our human experience do we use these types of terms, and what does this say about where they came from?arrow_forward
