View these three proteins below, and for each protein shown, answer the following questions: A) What type of membrane protein is this? Integral, peripheral, monotopic, polytopic? How do you know? Justify your label by features of the protein shown in the image. B) Describe the overall tertiary structure of each protein.

- While investigating structure-function studies in a membrane transport protein, a researcher discovered a single nucleotide mutation that led to the loss of a key alpha-helical segment of the protein in the hydrophilic domain. The mutation that led to this finding is most likely which of the following? Hint: helix breaker O AUC to GUC GAG to CCU GUU to GCU GUG to UUG O CUC to CCCarrow_forwardI'm honestly confused on where to start with this question. I think it has something to do with the residues per turn but can you please explain and show detailed work on the the problem. Researchers have discovered a new membrane protein that has three transmembrane domain αhelixes that span the lipid bilayer. a. If the lipid bilayer is 30 Å thick, what is the smallest number of amino acid residues that can be in each α-helixes for them to be long enough to span the bilayer? b. If one of the three α-helixes is titled at a 32° angle relative to an axis perpendicular to the surface of the lipid bilayer, what is the smaller number of amino acid helixes required for that helix to still span the lipid bilayer? c. How many hydrogen bonding interactions would there be in the smallest possible tilted transmembrane α-helix? d.

- B) We also know from studies of protein structure that one turn of an a-helix includes 3.6 amino acid residues and extends the long axis of the helix by - 0.56 nm. Approximately how many amino acids must a helical transmembrane segment of an integral membrane protein have if the segment is to span the lipid bilayer defined by two stearate molecules laid end to end, plus the polar head groups to which the stearate molecules are attached (assume a polar head group has a diameter of 0.5 nm)?arrow_forwardWhere is the KV1.1 (a membrane protein) polypeptide synthesized in the cell? (word bank: cytoplasm, nucleus, rough ER, smooth ER, mitochondria) The amino acids that line the outside of the KV1.1 protein (i.e., those in contact with the phospholipid bilayer's fatty acids tails) are more likely to be _______(word bank: hydrophobic, hydrophilic) The KV1.1 protein utilizes __ transport to move the K+ ions across the membrane. (word bank: active, passive) This disease can be caused by missense mutations. In general, how specifically would a missense mutation affect the KV1.1 protein?arrow_forwardChoose the statements that describe how the helix orients in the tertiary structure of an integral membrane protein. The threonine residues act as membrane interface anchors, interacting with the lipid bilayer and the aqueous environment. The amphipathic helix interacts with the lipid bilayer along its hydrophobic surface, exposing its hydrophilic surface to the aqueous environment. A group of helices cluster with their polar surfaces in contact with one another and their hydrophobic surfaces facing the lipid bilayer. The peptide entirely embeds in the lipid bilayer.
