Question
Chapter 4.7, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The consequence of a chaperone protein not binding to a protein before being imported into the mitochondrial matrix.
Introduction: A eukaryotic cell consists of many cell organelles enclosed within a plasma membrane. Mitochondria and chloroplast are considered as semi-autonomous organelles because they possess the ability to grow and divide due to the presence of their own DNA. However, they are semi-autonomous as they depend on other parts of the cell, such as cytosol to import their internal components.

- Only 37 of the proteins in mitochondria are encoded by the mitochondrial DNA. The other proteins are encoded in nuclear DNA, then translated and transported to the mitochondria. Describe one unique feature of protein transport across mitochondrial membranes.arrow_forward1) Which of the following contains all of the information required to target a precursor protein from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix? a.

- Mitochondrial matrix proteins can never be mis-targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum during synthesis because MRNAS encoding mitochondrial matrix proteins bind to a special class of cytoplasmic ribosomes that only synthesize mitochondrial proteins they are frequently targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum but are rapidly degraded they don't interact with signal recognition particle they are always synthesized inside the mitochondriaarrow_forwardDescribe the source or sources of energy needed for unidirectional translocation across the membrane in (a) cotranslational translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); (b) post-translational translocation into the ER; (c) translocation into the mitochondrial matrix.arrow_forwardWhat is the function of mitochondrial DNA?arrow_forward
- You have a precursor protein that is translated in the cytosol with an N-terminal mitochondrial localization signal (MLS). a) Where will this protein go? b)You perform organelle isolation in cultured cells and compare this protein’s levels in the cytosol and the mitochondria. You perform a western blot which separates the proteins based on their size. Using the same antibody that recognizes this protein you notice that there is a difference in the protein’s size in the cytosol vs mitochondria. How will you explain this?arrow_forwardWhat did you learn about mitochondrial protein trafficking? Select all that apply. Protein enters nuclear pore as a folded protein.
