Protein Synthesis and Secretion. Although we will not encounter protein synthesis and secretion in detail until later chapters, you already have enough information about these processes to order the seven events that are now listed randomly. Order events 1–7 so that they represent the correct sequence corresponding to steps a–g, tracing a typical secretory protein from the initial transcription (readout) of the relevant genetic information in the nucleus to the eventual secretion of the protein from the cell by exocytosis.
Transcription → (a) → (b) → (c) → (d) → (e) → (f) → (g) → Secretion
1. The protein is partially glycosylated within the lumen of the rough ER.
2. The secretory vesicle arrives at and fuses with the plasma membrane.
3. The RNA transcript is transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
4. Final sugar groups are added to the protein in the Golgi apparatus.
5. As the protein is synthesized, it passes across the ER membrane into the lumen of the rough ER, and from there via a vesicle to the Golgi apparatus.
6. The protein is packaged into a secretory vesicle and released from the Golgi apparatus.
7. The RNA message associates with a ribosome and begins synthesis of the desired protein on the surface of the rough ER.

- Leaderless. The MRNA for the A repressor begins with 5'-AUG-3', 5'-AUG-3', which encodes the methionine residue that begins the protein. What is unusual about this beginning? Would it cause the MRNA to translate efficiently or not?arrow_forwardDocking and Membrane Fusion. Q-8a. Choose from the terms below to Fill-in the Blanks. [All terms are used. Some terms are used more than once] Rab, SNARE, v- SNARE, t-SNARE, Tethering a. Identification of a vesicle to be docked depends on a diverse family of monomeric GTPases called proteins. First, a filamentous protein on a target membrane binds to a protein on the surface of a vesicle. This interaction allows the vesicle to dock on its particular target membrane. A on the vesicle then binds to a complementary_ on the target membrane. Whereas and proteins provide the initial recognition between a vesicle and its target membrane, complementary appropriate target membranes. Together, the proteins ensure that transport vesicles dock at their proteins catalyze the final fusion of the two membranes by squeezing out water making fusion more energetically favorable. b.

- Mitosis Of A Cell Population. The growth of mitosis of a cell population follows the exponential rule P(t) = Poe(In(2) · t) where t is the number of subdivision periods (time), and P(t) is the size at time t.
