Coated Vesicles in Intracellular Transport. For each of the following statements, indicate for which coated vesicle the statement is true: clathrin- (C), COPI- (I), or COPII-coated (II). Each statement may be true for one, several, or none (N) of the coated vesicles discussed in this chapter.
(a) Binding of the coat protein to an LDL receptor is mediated by an adaptor protein complex.
(b) Fusion of the vesicle (after dissociation of the coat) with the Golgi membrane is facilitated by specific t-SNARE and Rab proteins.
(c) Has a role in bidirectional transport between the ER and Golgi apparatus
(d) Has a role in sorting proteins for intracellular transport to specific destinations
(e) Has a role in transport of acid hydrolases to late endosomes
(f) Is essential for all endocytic processes
(g) Is important for retrograde traffic through the Golgi apparatus
(h) Is involved in the movement of membrane lipids from the TGN to the plasma membrane
(i) The basic structural component of the coat is called a triskelion.
(j) The protein coat dissociates shortly after formation of the vesicle.
(k) The protein coat always includes a specific small GTP-binding protein.

- Cleavage Ligand Precursor Receptor Inactive Receptor Active Cell Membrane 6. The figure above shows a model of a ligand precursor being cleaved to produce an active ligand that binds to a specific receptor. Which of the following is most likely to reduce the binding of the active ligand to its receptor? (A) A change in the cytoskeletal attachment of transmembrane proteins (B) The presence of a large amount of the precursor form of the ligand (C) An increase in the ratio of the number of unsaturated to the number of saturated fatty acid tails of the membrane lipids (D) A mutation in the receptor gene that causes a substitution of a charged amino acid for a nonpolar amino acid in the ligand binding site of the receptorarrow_forwardPlease help me with this question.
