Summary Introduction
To determine: The way by which proteasome regulates the degradation of certain proteins.
Introduction: The proteasomes are the protein complexes that degrade the damaged proteins by the process called proteolysis. Proteolysis is a

When regulatory protein binds to a mature mRNA in the cytoplasm and prevents it from binding to a ribosome, this is an example of:
A) transcriptional control
B) post-transcriptional control
C) post-translational control
D) epigenetic control
E) translational control
Paramecium caudatum is a unicellular organism that can phagocytose and digest a
bacterium using hydrolytic enzymes. Proteases are one example of hydrolytic
enzymes that can break down proteins into polypeptides and amino acids. Name all
of the organelles involved, in the order that the protease will go through. from its
synthesis to its final destination. Note that this protease needs to be modified
through the addition of a carbohydrate in order to be functional.
A cell has a mutation which renders ligase non-functional. How does this affect the cell’s function? What downstream processes are affected?

The rationale given was that degradation wastes the energy that the cell put into to synthesizing those proteins in the first place, and avoiding that waste of energy would lead to increased protein accumulation, growth, and, perhaps, life span. Is this a theoretically sound approach to increasing lifespan ? Only one answer is correct. Question 1 options: yes, conserving energy by reducing protein degradation would be beneficial to the organism, so a proteasome inhibitor should increase lifespan. yes, because inhibition of the proteasome would lead to were non-functional then poly-ubiquitin chains would likely be retained on ubiquitin ligase-targeted proteins and this additional protein mass would contribute further to growth. no, because protein degradation through the proteasome…arrow_forward
