During a pulse-chase experiment with secreted proteins, the proteins are synthesized for a short “pulse” time with radioactive or fluorescent amino acids to label the proteins. During the “chase" period, unlabeled amino acids are added, so any additional proteins synthesized are not labeled. The labeled proteins can then be monitored over time. You complete a pulse-chase experiment to monitor the movement of a protein. The protein is shown in the following digram. Its signal sequence is outlined and also indicated by the blue color in the primary protein structure.

An enzyme invovled in nucleotide biosynthesis. An enzyme involved in the breakdown of glycosaminoglycans (GAGS). Involved in fat and muscle cell differentiation A cell surface protein involved in iron absorption.
A signal peptide is found at the N-terminus of a newly generated protein's polypeptide chain. Which is not possible? Options: This protein is a sodium/potassium pump This protein is a membrane receptor This protein is the protein kinase A This protein is insulin This protein is an ion channel
Glycophorins are a type of membrane protein found on red blood cells. They allow red blood cells to circulate through the blood vessels without sticking to the walls of the blood vessels or to other cells. Describe how a glycophorin protein would be synthesized by the cell. Include What parts of the cell are involved and what happens at each location. The process of protein synthesis (i.e. transcription, translation, etc).
Consider Molecule X, which is found in all living cells. Each form of this molecule is keyed to the genetic code for a particular amino acid. When activated, the amino acid is covalently bonded to one end of this molecule, and it carries the amino acid to a ribosome to take part in protein assembly. What is the name of X? Your answer should be one word, or a short two- or three-word phrase. Spelling counts. Note: if there is more than one possible answer, separate each answer with a comma. 0
After it has been activated a G-protein _______. moves along the inside of the cell's membrane and activates enzymes binds to its receptor in the cell's nucleus and initiates translation travels in the bloodstream to its target cell and then binds to its receptor binds to a receptor on a nearby cell and then activates multiple proteins
Which of the following best describes the production of insulin in by bacterial cells. The biosynthetic pathway that produces human insulin is introduced into bacterial cells on a plasmid. Insulin is purified from bacterial lysates by electrophoresis. Human insulin in a peptide hormone comprised of two chains A and B. Only B chain is required, It is produced by injecting bacteria with MRNA encoding B chain peptide, and purifying the peptides with an antibody. Fuman insulin in a peptide hormone comprised of two chains A and B. It is produced by injecting bacteria with transgenic plasmids containing MRNA encoding either the A and B chain peptides, and purifying the peptides with a mix of antibodies against tne A or B chain. aman nsulina peptide hormone comprised of two chains A and B. They are produced separately as fusion proteins with beta-galactosidase when bacterial cells are transformed with plasmids containing either A or B chain with the lacZ sequence. Once purified they are…
Metabolic syndrome is a clustering of various conditions including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat, high serum triglycerides, and low high-density lipoproteins. Scientists studying metabolic syndrome cultured fibroblast cells from a metabolic syndrome patient and a healthy volunteer and challenged the cells to 100 nM insulin. Ten minutes after the stimulus was applied, they used a protein immunoblot to measure the amount of phosphorylated insulin receptor in the cultures. Use the passage to answer the question. Some patients with metabolic syndrome can continue to gain weight even if they consume fewer calories than other human adults. Based on this finding, which conclusion is MOST likely true? A. Patients with metabolic syndrome do not eliminate as many calories during excretion. B. Patients with metabolic syndrome do not expend as much energy during muscle contractions. C. Patients with metabolic syndrome have more efficient…
