Document Summary

Nuclear import and export receptors that bind to ran behave very differently. Import receptors: release and dissociation of cargo - when ran binds, the receptor undergoes a conformational change that does not allow it to bind to the cargo. Export receptors: when the receptor binds to ran it undergoes conformational change that allows it to associate with the cargo (reverse of import) Makes up 1/2 of the total membrane of a typical animal cell. Made up of a network of tubules and flattened discs. Er membrane is continuous with nuclear envelopes. Major function of the er are for synthesis of proteins and lipids and for storage of. Inside of er is called the lumen calcium. Image is an animal cell expressing an er membrane protein fused with gfp. 2 major functions: protein and lipid biosynthesis. All proteins that end up in the lumen of the er are all made in the er.

Related Questions

Decide whether each of these statements is true or false, andthen explain why.

A. Like the lumen of the ER, the interior of the nucleus istopologically equivalent to the outside of the cell.

B. Membrane bound and free ribosomes, which are structurally andfunctionally identical, differ only in the proteins they happen tobe making at a particular time.

C. To avoid the inevitable congestion that would occur iftwo-way traffic through a single pore were allowed, nuclear porecomplexes are specialized so that some mediate import while othersmediate export.

D. The TOM complex is required for the import of allnucleus-encoded mitochondrial proteins.

E. There is no fundamental distinction between signalingmolecules that bind to cell surface receptors and those that bindto intracellular receptors.

F. All small intracellular mediators (second messengers) arewater soluble and diffuse freely through the cytosol.

6. True or false

a_______ Nuclear pore complexes are specialized so that some mediate import and others mediate export

b_______ Membrane-bound and free ribosomes, which are structurally and functionally identical, differ only in the proteins they happen to be making at a particular time.

c_______ Some proteins can be made as either free or membrane-bound proteins. They have the same mRNA but different splicing and poly-adenylation patterns

d_______ a protein that does not have a sorting signal will be tagged for destruction by ubiquitin

e_______ when the hydrophobic signal peptide emerges from the ribosome, it is bound by SRP, which causes a pause in protein synthesis. Synthesis resumes when the ribosome with a bound SRP then binds to the SRP receptor on the cytosolic surface of the rough ER.

f________ A protein cannot leave the ER unless it is correctly folded

g________ All of the glycoproteins and glycolipids in intracellular membranes have their oligosaccharide chains facing the cytosolic side, and all those in the plasma membrane have their oligosaccharide chains facing the outside of the cell.

QUESTION 1

Which of the following is an example of an extracellular signal molecule?

	a.	IP₃

QUESTION 2

Nuclear hormone receptors _____

	a.	Bind to water soluble ligands
	b.	Activate second messengers
	c.	Regulate transcription in response to ligand binding
	d.	Are normally located on the plasma membrane

2 points

QUESTION 3

Which of the following does not occur when a receptor tyrosine kinase is bound by ligand?

	a.	Phosphorylation of the RTK
	b.	Cytoplasmic proteins bind the phosphorylated RTK
	c.	Dimerization of the RTK
	d.	The RTK binds to DNA to regulate transcription

2 points

QUESTION 4

Which of these is a logical signal-transduction pathway?

	a.	An intracellular receptor activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane protein to form IP₃, which then activates the opening of an ER channel protein, which releases cyclic AMP into the cytoplasm, where it binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	b.	A G-protein-linked receptor activates G protein, which activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane lipid to form IP₃, which binds to a calcium channel on the ER, which opens to release calcium ions into the cytoplasm, which bind to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	c.	An ion-channel receptor opens, allowing a steroid hormone to enter the cell; the steroid hormone then activates protein kinases that convert GTP to GDP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	d.	A tyrosine-kinase receptor activates adenylyl cyclase, which activates phospholipase C, which converts ATP into cyclic AMP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.

2 points

QUESTION 5

Which of the following is an example of signal amplification?

	a.	activation of an enzyme molecule
	b.	activation of a specific gene by a growth factor
	c.	Breakdown of many cAMP molecules
	d.	activation of 100 molecules by a single signal binding event

2 points

QUESTION 6

Consider a signal transduction pathway that utilizes cAMP as a second messenger to activate PKA (Protein Kinase A). Which of the following situations will result in the cellular response?

		The G protein releases GDP and binds to GTP
		The target protein (adenylyl cyclase) is inactive
		The regulatory subunits of PKA (Protein Kinase A) are bound to the catalytic subunits
		The appropriate G protein is bound to GDP

2 points

QUESTION 7

Which of the following is found in only some signal transduction pathways? [In other words, which is not found in all signal transduction pathways?]

		Receptor protein
		Extracellular signal molecule
		Intracellular signaling molecule
		Cellular response
		Effector protein

2 points

QUESTION 8

The enzyme that specifically catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cAMP is:

		Adenylyl phosphatase
		Adenylyl kinase
		Adenylyl dehydrogenase
		Adenylyl cyclase

2 points

QUESTION 9

If an animal cell suddenly lost the ability to produce GTP, what might happen to its signaling system?

		It would use ATP instead of GTP to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane.
		It would not be able to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane.
		It would employ a transduction pathway directly from an external messenger.
		It would be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to respond to a signal.

2 points

QUESTION 10

A hormone signal is sent from the brain to other parts of the body via the bloodstream. Why do only certain cells respond to this signal?

		Hormones do not last long enough in the bloodstream to stimulate a cellular response
		Only cells that have a specific transcription factor gene will be able to respond to the signal
		Only cells in the immediate vicinity of the cell sending the signal will respond
		Only cells that have a receptor for the specific signal will be able to respond to it
