1

By cell volume the _____ is roughly 50%. by membrane area, the ______ is roughly 50%

cytosol and ER

2

What is it called when molecules in a closed set of spaces don't need to cross a membrane to get to one another. Only uses vesicles to travel through

Topologically equivalent

3

This way of moving proteins between compartments directly transports specific and individual proteins from cytosol through a membrane into another organelle (ER, mitochondria)

a) protein translocation

b) gated transport

c) vesicular transport

d) engulfment

Protein translocation

4

This way of moving proteins between compartments is by movement of protein /RNA through nuclear pore complexes from nucleus to cytosol (topologically equivalent)

a) protein translocation

b) gated transport

c) vesicular transport

d) engulfment

gated transport

5

This transport method uses membrane enclosed intermediate vesicles to bud off one compartment and fuse with another

a) protein translocation

b) gated transport

c) vesicular transport

d) engulfment

vesicular transport

6

This method uses double-membrane sheets to encircle portions of cytoplasm or other organelles usually to degrade them.

a) protein translocation

b) gated transport

c) vesicular transport

d) engulfment

engulfment

7

Signal sequences are address tags because they _______

Help specialized receptor proteins to identify the thing needs to go

8

What is the difference between a signal peptide and a signal patch?

  • A signal peptide is a continuous strand of amino acids that act as a tag to be read either at the ends or internally. Is removed after transport
  • A signal patch are scattered amino acids throughout the protein that is only read after it has been translated and folded

9

T/F A signal sequence is necessary and sufficient for protein transport

True. They will get lost and not know where to go oh no!

10

T/F Nuclear pore complexes allow for protein crossing without needing to unfold

True

11

T/F Nuclear pores have a basket in the nuclear side

True

12

T/F Within the pore itself, there are extensions of the nuclear porin to prevent diffusion of large molelcules

True

13

T/F A nuclear localization signal/sequence needs to be present in order for it to be allowed through the pores. It can be located anywhere in the protein of lysine and arginine

True. Same of nuclear export signals as well

14

T/F Nuclear transport receptors only carry proteins in and can only be direct contact

False. They carry both in and out. Also it can bind directly or indirectly

15

How does Ran-GTP/GDP work?

The GTP is basically the state in the nucleus. GDP is in the cytosol. For export, GTP binds to the cargo, the receptor pick it up with Ran and releases everything outside. For import, GTP binds to receptor and takes the cargo from it. Review it again
