Indicate (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.
Each type of molecule listed below is recognized by a specific class of nuclear import
receptor (importin) or nuclear export receptor (exportin). For each type of molecule,
state whether you think it is recognized by an importin or exportin and explain why (in
terms of where that molecule is synthesized, what that molecule does, and where it
does it).
(a) RNA polyermase II:
(b) ribosomal protein:
(iii) †RNA:
The protein fragments ABS1 and ABS2 of tropomodulin were produced as fusion proteins with chitin binding domain and purified by a chitin column. Explain the principles of this type of affinity chromatography and support it with a self‐drawn figure. This is with regards to Tropomodulin/ F-Actin complex.
