Question
Transcribed Image Text:Explain the role/importance of the localization of GTPase-activating protein (Ran-
GAP) in BOTH nuclear export and import. What would occur if there was a loss of
function mutation in Ran-GAP? What would occur if Ran-GAP was localized in the
nucleus?

- At 2:00 pm, you measured intracellular arginine at 100M. After addition of 200M of arginine to the cell, you, at 2:45 pm, measured intracellular arginine levels to be still at 100M. The most likely explanation is: Arginine bound to the active site of the repressor protein Arginine bound to the allosteric site of RNA polymerase Arginine was in excess in the cell and acted as an inducer Arginine was in excess in the cell and bound to the operator Arginine bound to the allosteric site of the repressor proteinarrow_forwardA pharmaceutical company developed a drug, CP788, that inhibits the interaction of Grb2 with SH2 domains as a treatment for breast cancer. As the data below shows, the compound inhibits activation of RAS in MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells (Figure A) and anchorage-dependent growth (Figure B solid line) in MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells. Note that these experimets were done in the presence of EGF. Briefly explain the steps in the pathway by which inhibition of Grb2/SH2 interaction would inhibit activation of RAS (limit 5-6 sentences).

These include Ran GEF (which, as you may recall, is bound to chromatin – an association that apparently continues even when the nuclear envelope breaks down at the onset of mitosis) and importin-β. Now think back to the process of nuclear protein import. To which form of Ran (Ran-GDP or Ran-GTP) does importin-β bind and what is the significance of that interaction with respect to the efficiency of delivery of import “cargo” to the nucleus? To which form of Ran (Ran-GDP or Ran-GTP) do exportins bind and what is the significance of that interaction with respect to the efficiency of delivery of export “cargo” to the cytoplasm?arrow_forward
