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. What does the acronym SNARE stand for?
c. Membrane fusion the rate limiting step of vesicular transport. Why? (What makes…

In turn, each second messenger activates only one molecule of Enzyme B, which once activated, phosphorylates 100 molecules of Enzyme C that each phosphorylate 75 molecules of Enzyme D. In the last step, each Enzyme D phosphorylates 50 transcription factors. How many transcription factors are phosphorylated in response to the first messenger binding to the receptor? How many transcription factors would be phosphorylated if one copy of the Enzyme D gene were inactivated (heterozygous genotype) so that there were only half the number of functional Enzyme D molecules in the cell?

The adjacent schema represents the steps of the synthesis of these membrane receptors. 1. Label the structures from a to f. In order to study the biosynthesis and secretion of this protein (membrane receptors), a solution containing radioactive amino acid was injected in the blood of an animal. Samples of certain cells were taken at regular intervals of time. The intensity of radioactivity was measured in different cellular organelles. 2000 The table below represents the variations of the quantity of a membrane protein in different parts of the cell, as function of time.

- What is the difference between intracellular signaling and intercellular signaling?arrow_forwardWould like a better explanation on Foxp3. Typed what I know for the first questoin In the discussion section the authors wrote “In a previous study, Dombrowski et al. [44], has reported that Treg cells are able to promote myelination and remyelination and its transcriptional factor, Foxp3, is a good indicator of Tregs activity [21, 45].” Where in the cell does Foxp3 act? The FOXP3 protein is found in an immune system gland called the thymus, where regulatory T cells are produced. Foxp3 is a master regulator of transcription in a specific T-cell type, CD4 (+) regulatory T cells (Treg). Foxp3 is a good indicator of Tregs activity. By what word or words in the quote of question 10 do you know that your answer to question 10 is correct?arrow_forwardtrue or false? And why it is false For the actin cytoskeleton, diverse cell-surface receptors trigger global structural rearrangements in response to external signals. But all these signals seem to converge inside the cell on a group of closely related monomeric GTPases that are members of the Rho protein family—Cdc42, Ras, and Rho. The same Rho family proteins are also involved in the establishment of many kinds of cell polarity.arrow_forward
