  2. Sorting signal in a protein functions to? If a protein lacks a sorting signal then what happens?
    • the signals purpose is to make sure the proper protein goes to the proper organelles.

  13. Proteins containing a nuclear localization signal (imported) will be recognized by _______ that guide the protein through the nuclear core complex into the nucleus
    importins
  14. Substances to be exported have ____ _____ signals that are recognized by ______ that guide the substance through the nuclear core complex into the cytosol.

    • exportins
  15. These structures give shape and stability to the nuclear envelope and form structural links between the nuclear envelope and chromatin
    intermediate filaments and protein subunits called nuclear lamins
  16. this actions caused the depolymerization of the nuclear lamina. The nuclear envelope fragments (prophase)

  26. 2 kind of ribosomes
    free floating ribosomes and membrane-bound ribosomes
  27. True/false: A free ribosome contains signal sequences
    false. The free floating lacks the sequence. Free floating in cytosol by default.
  28. Membrane-bound ribosomes are bound to which surface of the ER?
    cytosolic surface of the ER
  29. This kind of protein contains the LARGEST consectuive hydrophobic sequence and is transported by a the method co-translational translocation
    membrane-bound ribosome
  30. True/false: ER proteins are transported by the mechanism co-translational transport.
    False. Yes some proteins are translated by this method, but some are also imported via post-translations translocation.
  31. This particle binds to the ER sequence once it emerges from the ribosome, and pauses translation. Then binds to the _____ receptor in the ER membrane. This is a ______
    • SRP
    • Signal recognition Particle (SRP)
  32. This signal acts as a start transfer, and opens the aqeous pore to initiate translocation
    ER signal
  33. A _____ region in a transmembrane protein is hydrophobic and stops further translocation
    alpa-helical
  34. Name the 5 major functions of the ER
    1)
    2)
    3)
    4)
    5)
    • 1) site of production for all transmembrane proteins and lipids in cellular membrane
    • 2) synthesis of mitochondrial and peroxisome lipids
    • 3) site of protein synthesis: a) destined to be secreted b)delivered to the lumens of ER, GA or lysosome
    • 4) Ca++ ions are stored in the smooth ER: the release of the ions finalize a muscle contraction
    • 5) glycolsylation of proteins made in the rough ER
  35. This enzyme degrades the protein signal
    singnal peptidase on the lumenal side of the ER membrane
  36. A double-pass transmembrane protein contains 2 signals. What are they?
    • start-transfer sequence
    • stop-transfer sequence
  37. Glycolsylation of proteins made from the rough ER (this is a major function of the ER) can NOT involve which amino acid in the N-linked oligosaccharide?
    Proline
  38. This specialized lipid molecule in the membrane holds the precursor oligosaccharide before it is transfered to the protein. This molecule is called ______.
