Predict where each mutant protein will go (as in, final destination), based on the set of sorting sequences it has.

Hint: think about what set of sorting sequences the normal, unmutated protein would have, then think about what sorting sequences the protein would have after the changes are made. Then, figure out where a protein with these new sorting sequences would end up.

Answer #1
  • a cytoskeletal protein, with MTS added to it      = cytoplasm
  • Cyt-P450 enzyme, with the ER-RS removed    = mitochondria
  • Oligosaccharyl transferase, with the ER-SS and ER-RS removed= cytoplasm
  • DNA polymerase, with the NLS swapped out and replaced with ER-RS = ER
  • glucocerebrosidase, with no M6P tag= golgi

    please answer me this Consider a membrane protein destined for the plasma membrane. From a hydropathy plot, you determine the protein has the following general structural elements: • • • 5 Trans-membrane domains (boxes 1-5) 6 soluble domains (wavy lines A-F) Flanking charges around trans-membrane domain 1. (A positive charge is towards the N-terminus, and a negative charge is towards the C-terminus.) You find that soluble domains B and E contain possible glycosylation sites. Ntorm in an ammo u arom...
