Briefly describe the following properties of the Rab and Arf GTPases: a) Size, structure and cellular localization (for structure I want to know if they are lipidated and any other unique features) , b) How are they activated and inactivated (i.e. include the GEFs and GAPs), c). Give an example of downstream cellular effects.
Discuss genetic evidence that lacI encodes an allostericrepressor protein that binds the operator DNA.
Describe the role of pH in regulating the interaction between mannose 6-phosphate and the M6P receptor. Why does a rise in endosomal pH lead to the secretion of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes into the extracellular medium?

- GC (Glycocorticoids) binds to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which leads to the transcription of a series of genes (PC, PCK1, FBP1, PFKFB1, G6PC and G6P transporter (SLC37A4)) involved in gluconeogenesis. What type of receptor is GR? Where would you expect the activated GR to be located to enhance the expression of the gluconeogenic genes?

- In response to nitric oxide signaling in the male genitalia, GTP is cyclized to produce 3’-5’ cyclic GMP (cGMP): cGMP stimulates vasodilation and produces an erection. Viagra (Sildenafil) is a selective inhibitor of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for degradation of cGMP. Based on this information, do you expect that Viagra can produce a spontaneous erection in the absence of a stimulus? Provide a short (one sentence) rationale for your answerarrow_forwardIndicate (x) if the following statements about synthesis of proteins containing an ER signal sequence are True or False: True False i. Translation is initiated by ribosomes located on the ER membrane The signal recognition particle (SRP) binds a sequence of nonpolar (hydrophobic) amino acids. ii. iii. The ER signal sequence may be cleaved by signal peptidase on the cytoplasmic side of the ER membrane. iv. The part of a transmembrane protein that will ultimately be located outside of the cell is inserted into the lumen of the ER during translation. A stop transfer sequence is a series of polar amino acids that halts translocation of a newly synthesized peptide into the ER lumen.arrow_forwardSome elongation factors are evolutionarily related to the G-proteins involved in signal transduction.
