Chapter 19, Problem 19.10PS

(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The discrepancy between the normal length of prolactin and length of the polypeptide synthesized containing 277 amino acids.

Introduction: Prolactin is a type of hormone present in the pituitary gland. It is a 199 amino acids long sequence. This hormone is required to stimulate the production of milk in females.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The result that on adding SRP to a cell-free protein-synthesizing system and found that the translation has stopped after a polypeptide about 70 amino acid long has been produced whereas in the first experiment the polypeptide synthesized is of 277 amino acids. Also, explain the purpose it serves for the cell.

Introduction: Prolactin is a type of hormone present in the pituitary gland. It is a 199 amino acids long sequence. This hormone is required to stimulate the production of milk in females.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The result that on adding both SRP and ER membrane vesicles to the protein-synthesizing system the translation of prolactin mRNA produces a polypeptide 199 amino acid long whereas in the first experiment the polypeptide synthesized is of 277 amino acids. Also, determine the location of such polypeptides.

Introduction: Prolactin is a type of hormone present in the pituitary gland. It is a 199 amino acids long sequence. This hormone is required to stimulate the production of milk in females.

Signal transduction pathway. Sketch a G protein in the active and inactive stages, and label its parts.
Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The above figures show the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of various concentration of profilin (Pfn).  In the top figure, flourescence intensity is a measure of total actin that has been polymerized, and this is plotted versus time in seconds.  The shade of blue of the lines in the top figure correspond to the shaded blue bars representing various concentrations of profilin in the lower figure. The lower graph shows the initial rates of polymerization of actin plotted again concentration. Which of the following is true: Question 21 options: profilin in a molecular motor profilin is a promoter of actin polymerization profilin replaced G-actin in an F-actin strand and breaks the filament profilin is an inhibitor of actin polymerization profilin binds to G-actin, preventing it from polymerizing
Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The figure shows the number of cells that have clusters of IRE1 molecules after those cells are treated with various levels of thapsigargin (Tg), a chemical that can induce ER stress. IRE1 can form these clusters when ER stress is induced and this clustering can cause activation of RNAse activity in IRE1. In this experiment, normal IRE1 was used (IRE1α) that can bind to Sec61, along with a modified version of IRE1 that binds to Sec61 more weakly than normal IRE1 (wIRE1α), and another modified version that binds to Sec61 more strongly than normal IRE1 (sIRE1α). From this figure you can conclude that: Question 18 options: IRE1 binding to Sec61 promotes the formation of IRE1 clumps IRE1 binding to Sec61 prevents the formation of IRE1 clumps co-translational translocation is a key process the golgi aparatus is heavily involved in the unfolded protein response The…
