In some ER proteins the signal sequence acts as a topogenic sequence. How do these sequences have a dual role regarding insertion into the lipid bilayer?
A topogenic sequence is a combined term used for a sequence of peptides located near the growing proteins, which are necessary for their insertion and orientation in the cell membranes. These sequences also help in the translocation of the proteins across the various intracellular membranes and also make sure that they are transported to the right organelle after their synthesis. The site of the sequence may be in mid parts of the nascent protein, for example, in-between the signal-anchor sequences and stop-transfer anchor sequences, or at the end, like at the sequence of N-terminal. If the sequence is at the end or N terminal of the polypeptide, it is incised off after entering into the lumen of ER (endoplasmic reticulum) by a signal peptidase through translocon, and subsequently, it will be degraded.

Please answer letter B! 1. (1.5 pts) Entering the ER: Translocation of proteins across the membrane of the ER is usually studied using microsomes (vesicles made from rough endoplasmic reticulum. Microsomes of the rough ER carry ribosomes attached to their outer surface. Translocation of proteins across the microsomal membrane can be assessed by several experimental criteria: (1) the newly synthesized protein is protected from added proteases, but not when detergents are present to solubilize the protecting lipid bilayer; (2) the...
All transmembrane proteins: a.contain one or more stop-transfer sequences. b.None of these are correct. c.are brought to the ER by chaperones in an unfolded state. d.always have the N-terminal on the luminal side and the C-terminal on the cytoplasmic side. e.contain an N-terminal signal sequence.

ER proteins all have a similar shape or conformation. C. ER proteins have a common sequence of amino acids. D. ER proteins move themselves to the correct organelle. 2.Importin is a receptor protein that helps bring nuclear cargo proteins from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. To do this, importin binds cargo in...
4. Create some drawings/models of membrane transport proteins. Blob models are fine but they should be annotated as instructed below. In your drawing include a model for a lipid bilayer clearly showing the polar and non-polar nature of the lipid components. The models of the proteins should include annotation/shading or other indication that indicates the types of amino acid functional groups you might expect to see in (a) the exterior of the protein in contact with the lipid bilayer, (b)...
