Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The maintenance and establishment of high concentration of Binding protein (BiP) in the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum and lesser concentrations in other regions of the cells.
Introduction: Protein folding is a process where folding of the polypeptide chain to form a 3D structure of protein takes place. Many different types of molecular interactions are involved in the process.
(b)
To determine: The effect on the cell if the gene encoding BiP acquires a mutation that disrupts the protein binding site for hydrophobic amino acids.

Consider the influence of each of these general features on the likelihood of whether folding of a particular protein will require chaperone assistance or not. Be specific regarding just Hsp7O chaperones or Hsp7O chaperones and Hsp60 chaperonins.arrow_forward

Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct. If the statement is false, write the incorrect underlined word/s and indicate the correct word/s to make the statement true. Extreme temperatures and pH can cause permanent disruption of the protein primary structure(s) of enzymes that leads to loss of active site shape, loss of binding efficiency and activity.arrow_forward
- Purification of a new unknown protein that you isolated from tissue and Assume that you have reached the following data during the characterization; Gel filtration: Gel filtration in protein native conformation When chromatographed, it has a molecular weight of 240000 daltons (240 kDa) is detected to be around. Gel filtration: The same protein is first denatured with 6 M guanidinium hydrochloride subjected to gel filtration chromatography again under denatured conditions. is retained, and the only column from the column with a molecular weight of about 60000 daltons (60 kDa) a protein is obtained. SDS-PAGE: Protein finally SDS-PAGE in the presence of beta-mercaptoethanol (Sodium dodecyl-sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) analysis being held. As a result of SDS-PAGE analysis, their weight in the gel is approximately 40000 daltons. Two protein bands corresponding to (40 kDa) and 20000 daltons (20 kDa) is observed. In the light of these findings, the quaternary/quaternary…arrow_forwardMutation identity- GLY Outline the effects the mutation will have on the 3D structure and function of the 3GRS glucathione reducatse protein.arrow_forwardKetosis in Dairy Cattle: 1.
