The difference between protein transported by twin-arginine translocase (TAT) and other exported proteins. Introduction: The transport of tertiary or quaternary protein is regulated by twin-arginine translocase (TAT). It is a membrane-embedded transporter complex. This complex transports the higher protein into the periplasmic space. It is a secretionÂ or export pathway present inÂ plants and in Archaea. In plants, TAT translocase is found in the thylakoid membrane while in bacteria, it is found in the cytoplasmic membrane. TatA, TatB, and TatC are three essential membrane proteins that form TAT translocase.

Breast cancer can be caused by a genetic mutation on the BRCA1 gene changing a methionine to an arginine residue in the transcribed protein. How will this mutation effect this protein? a) Polarity before and after mutation: b) Size of the region before and after the mutation: c) Tertiary interaction you would expect with substrate: d) Name an amino acid that the unaffected protein's methionine could interact:

What amino acid residues are phosphorylated on the intracellular domain of a VEGFR? What amino acid residues are phosphorylated on the intracellular domain of a VEGFR? Glutamic Acid Serine Tyrosine Valine

A gene contains the sequence CGCATACGGTAC that results in the amino acid sequence arg-ile-arq- tyr. A mutation in this gene has a G inserted after the second C in the strand. How will this mutation affect the phenotype? A)This will affect the phenotype because although most of the protein will be identical, the first amino acid will be different. B)This will not affect the phenotype because only the second amino acid is different from the original protein. C)This will not affect the phenotype because the protein will be identical to the original protein. D)This will affect the phenotype because all of the amino acids after the first one will be different from the original protein.
