Ans- Ran-GEF in the nucleoplasm maintains the Ran in the Ran-GTP state where it promotes dissociation of the cargo protein. Ran-GAP on the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex converts Ran-GTP to Ran-GDP dissociating the importin- Ran-GTP complex and releasing the free importin into the cytosol.
Hence option 4 is correct
Ran is a GTPase. Ran in the GTP bound form is concentrated in the nucleus while...
please answer me question ( a) and (b) in no more than 6 sentences. thanks. How could you design a drug to target nuclear import that could prevent HIV infection? How might your design impact the normal function of cells, leading to side effects? Importin and Exportin also bind to Ran, a GTPase, which can be bound to GTP or GDP Ran-GDP GDP Ran-GAP CYTOSOL A concentration gradient is formed of RanGTP inside the nucleus and RanGDP outside the nucleus...
The signal sequence found in proteins that are sorted to the matrix of the mitochondrion is? A. an N-terminal amphiphilic α-helix that is cleaved from the protein by a signal peptidase in the matrix of the mitochondrion B. an N-terminal amphiphilic α-helix that is not removed from the protein C. an N-terminal sequence of at least eight hydrophobic residues that is not removed from the protein D. five adjacent (+)-charged amino acids found anywhere within the protein sequence; this signal...
Data List 1. Neural Growth Factor (NGF) is a secreted protein 2. P-STAT has a DNA binding site 3. Erk lives in the cytosol 4. P-Erk lives in the nucleus 5. Ras (which is a completely different protein than Ras-GEF) is a GTPase switch so on with GTP and off with GDP 6. Ras-GDP is located at the plasma membrane 7. TrkA has an amino acid that can have a phosphate group added to it (a phosphorylation site) 8. TrkA...
