(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “The polypeptide to be transported into the organelle has a specific short stretch of amino acids that targets the polypeptide to the organelle.” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “The signal sequence is always at the polypeptide’s N-terminus and is cut off by a peptidase within the organelle” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “The signal sequence is recognized and bound by a receptor protein in the organelle’s outer membrane.” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “ATP hydrolysis is known to be required for the translocation process.” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: the The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “GTP hydrolysis is known to be required for the translocation process.” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(f)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “Chaperone proteins are involved during translocation of the protein” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(g)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “The imported protein is transported in membranous vesicle prior to import” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

(h)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement “The imported protein enters the organelle through a protein pore that consists of more than two dozen proteins and is large enough to be readily seen with the electron microscope.” is applicable to nuclear import (Nu), mitochondrial import (M), both (Bo) or neither (N).

Introduction: The posttranslational import is a mechanism that helps in the transport of synthesized proteins to either the mitochondria or the nucleus of the cell. The mechanism that transports synthesized proteins to mitochondria is mitochondrial import and import to the nucleus can be defined as a nuclear import.

47. No exchange. Mice that completely lack ATP-ADP translocase (ANT- /ANT - ) can be made by using the knockout technique. Remarkably, these mice are viable but have the following pathological conditions: (1) high serum levels of lactate, alanine, and succinate; (2) little electron transport; and (3) a six- to eightfold increase in the level of mitochondrial H2O2 compared with that in normal mice. Provide a possible biochemical explanation for each of these conditions.
Enzyme: Crystal Structure of Wild-Type Human Phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1) the description of the mechanism of how this enzyme is regulated (e.g., depending on the enzyme, the mechanism could range from being solely dependent on gene regulation to protein structure-based mechanism).
Mechanisms of catalysis: 2.6 Mechanism of lysozyme  summary. These mechanisms involve several of the above-mentioned catalyses. In these summaries, do not just draw a diagram of the proposed mechanisms. It is more important to understand which reaction steps involve what kind of catalysis and how these help to reduce the activation energy needed for the reaction (e.g. a step in the reaction mechanism could be electrostatic catalysis to stabilise the transitions state)
