front 1 What is the second basic step in gene expression? | back 1 translation of mRNAs into protein |
front 2 where does translation occur? | back 2 cytoplasm |
front 3 what occurs after cytoplasmic ribosomal complexes have synthesized a protein? | back 3 the functional capabilities of the protein are implemented after the protein has been modified. |
front 4 what can post-transitional modifications include? | back 4 the removal of a part of the translated sequence or the covalent addition of one or more chemical groups required for protein activity |
front 5 proteins destined for secretion from the cell are initially made as | back 5 large, precursor molecules, not functional |
front 6 What occurs to result in an active molecule? | back 6 portions of the protein chain are removed by endoproteases |
front 7 Where does phosphorylation occur on a protein? | back 7 hydroxyl groups of serine, threonine, tyrosine (not as frequent) |
front 8 phosphorylation may- | back 8 increase of decrease the functional activity of the protein. |
front 9 proteins that are made to be a part of a plasma membrane or lysosome, or to be secreted from the cell have-? | back 9 carbohydrate chains attached to serine or threonine hydroxyl groups (o-linked) or the amide nitrogen of asparagine (n-linked) |
front 10 where does the addition of sugars take place? | back 10 ER and golgi |
front 11 glycosylation can be used to? | back 11 target the proteins to specific organelles |
front 12 What is hydroxylation? | back 12 process of adding a hydroxyl group to a protein |
front 13 Which amino acids are commonly hydroxylated? | back 13 proline and lysine (in the ER) |
front 14 What is carboxylation? | back 14 addition of carboxyl group to a protein |
front 15 What is biotinylation? | back 15 addition of biotin to a protein |
front 16 Biotin is bound to sigma amino groups of lysine residues of- | back 16 enzymes that depend on biotin to catalyze carboxylation reactions (ex: pyruvate carboxylase) |
front 17 Attachment of _____________ can help anchor proteins in membranes | back 17 lipids (farnesyl groups) |
front 18 acetylation is when- | back 18 acetyl groups are added to a protein (after translation) |
