Question
. What would happen in each of the following cases? Assume in each case that the protein involved is a soluble protein, not a membrane protein.
- You add a signal sequence (for the ER) to the N-terminal end of a normally cytosolic protein.
- You change the hydrophobic amino acids in an ER signal sequence into charged amino acids.
- You change the hydrophobic amino acids in an ER signal sequence into other hydrophobic amino acids.
4 You move the N-terminal ER signal sequence to the C-terminal end of the protein.

- The binding of sodium ions (Na+) to a membrane protein is one of the first steps in initiation of the sodium-potassium pump that moves these ions across the membrane. The picture shows the inital set up in this process. How does the protein get the energy needed to continue the process of moving the (Na+) across the cell membrane? Membrane Protein ONa+ Inside the Cell A. O O Nat oc Outside the Cell Con Mitochondria will attach to the protein and provide the energy to push the Na+ through the protein. Energy from ADP is released and a channel in the membrane protein permanently B. opens, resulting in the passage of the Nat. Energy produced from the difference in solute concentration on both sides of the O c. membrane pulls the Na+ through the protein. Con с ATP attaches to the protein and releases a phosphate, making energy available to OD. change the shape of the protein and allowing the passage of the Nat.arrow_forwardThree proteins synthesized by ER-associated ribosomes (translation) Receptors in trans-face of the Golgi apparatus Receptor in plasma membrane Receptor in lysosome membrane Receptor in smooth ERarrow_forward13arrow_forward
