- You are in a research lab studying the function of the mutated form of a receptor called Protein X, which results in disruptive symptoms in human patients: extreme fatigue, low blood pressure, and dizziness among other symptoms that may be affecting the reproductive system. From detailed genetic studies, you have found that there is a mutation in the region where the Nuclear Localization Signal (NLS) of Protein X is, which may account for the symptoms seen in patients. What kind of receptor is Protein X most likely to be? Select one: O a. Steroid Family Receptor O b. GPCR Growth Hormone Receptor O d. Thyroid Hormone Receptorarrow_forwardNotch is an important transmembrane receptor that is present on the plasma membrane. Curiously, it possesses a proteolytic cleavage site and an NLS in its intracellular domain. In a protein fragment complementation experiment the Notch receptor was fused to the N-terminal portion of GFP on its intracellular domain. Another protein that is known to act in the nucleus to mediate the Notch signal following its activation was fused to the C-terminal region of GFP. When both are expressed in the same cell, GFP is observed in the nucleus. In 3-4 sentences provide an explanation that would account for the expression of GFP exclusively in the nucleus.arrow_forwardThe gene for a eukaryotic polypeptide 300 amino acid residues Iong is altered so that a signal sequence recognized by SRP occurs at the polypeptide's amino terminus and a nuclear localization signal (NLS) occurs internally, beginning at residue 150.
