Unfolded proteins in the ER activate a transmembrane kinase in the ER that phosphorylates misfolded proteins that are sent to the lysosome in vesicles for degradationarrow_forward
- Experiment: In this activity yo Page 5 ze the results of experiments that investigate nutritional requirement of several mutant strains of yeast. The mutations in these strains cause a nutritional requirement for an amino acid, such that the strains will not grow in media that lack one specific amino acid. Any mutant that has a nutritional requirement is called an auxotroph, and is incapable of growing in a "minimal medium" containing only a carbon source (e.g., glucose), a simple nitrogen source (e.g., ammonium sulfate), and various salts and minerals. Such strains can be supported on a medium supplemented with only the missing nutrient or on a "rich" medium that contains amino acids, vitamins, nitrogenous bases, etc. (often in the form of an extract from yeast). The wild-type individual that can synthesize the metabolic component is a prototroph, and is capable of growth on minimal medium. The mutant strains in this activity are unable to synthesize tryptophan, lysine, or histidine;…arrow_forwardexplain what scaffold hopping is and why it is useful for drug development?arrow_forwardR5 List and briefly discuss the seven factors that should be considered for the development of a novel biosensor.arrow_forward
