Question
Explain a mechanism for how a nuclear-encoded protein is targeted to the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. Explain the mechanism for how a nuclear-encoded protein is targeted to the thylakoid membrane.
Describe an experiment that could be conducted to show that there is a targeting system for a nuclear encoded protein that ultimately finds its way to a specific organelle.

Researchers studying the metabolism and development of stomach cancer cells investigated the potential role of the SIRT3 protein in these cells. In the first investigation, the researchers quantified the relative amount of SIRT3 in normal stomach cells and in each of four different lines of stomach cancer cells (Figure 1). Using data from a group of 100 patients with stomach cancer, the researchers also analyzed the relative amount of SIRT3 protein detected in samples of the cancer cells and in normal cells immediately adjacent to the cancer cells (Figure 2). Figure 1. SIRT3 protein levels in normal stomach cells (NS) and stomach cancer cell lines from four different patients (SC-1, SC-2, SC-3, SC-4), shown relative to the level in normal stomach cells (NS). Error bars represent ±SEx¯. Figure 2. The number of patients, from 100 tested, whose stomach cancer cells or normal stomach cells…arrow_forward

- Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusionarrow_forwardYou plan to synthesize a peptide to be used as a vaccine to treat melanoma, a particularly aggressive form of skin cancer. Normally, gp100, a protein on the surface of melanocytes, activates cell growth when it is bound by its ligand. Activation of the growth pathway depends on the presence of threonine in the ligand. The effective peptide vaccine will mimic the natural ligand, but won’t cause cell growth and division. Below is the sequence of the natural ligand: LDMKTAG In order to ensure your newly designed peptide vaccine does not cause cell growth upon binding, you must substitute the Threonine residue at position 5. What amino acid would you replace it with, bearing in mind that the peptide should still be similar enough to bind to the gp100 protein in the surface of melanocytes. Explain your choice. Your vaccine will be administered as a topical cream, and you require your peptide to have an overall neutral charge in order to be functional.
