Where in the cell is the GEF for Ran GTPase localized? What is its role in the transport of proteins?
What do mitochondrial and ER signal peptidases have in common?
How do they differ? (Think about their location within the organelle.)
Homework Answers
Ans) GEFs or Guanine nucleotide exchange factors are proteins present in the cell which helps in activating the GTPase and this is done by stimulating the release of GDP which helps in association of the GTP. The location of the GEFs helps in determining where the GTPase will be active inside a cell. The Ran GEF is present or localized inside the nucleus and it helps in converting the RanGDP to RanGTP inside the nucleus. The conversion helps in the activation of the Ran which aids in the export of the proteins.
The GEFs helps in releasing the GDP and binding of the GTP in the process of transport of proteins. The GEFs are basically factors which are associated with the activation of the small GTPase and they help in the process of intracellular signaling. The GEF Ran GTPase helps in converting the RanGDP to RanGTP in the nucleus and helps in activation of the Ran protein which helps in exporting proteins out of the nucleus.

Scientists want to design fluorescent marker proteins for different cellular compartments using the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). This means that the GFP will be targeted and glow at the organelle of interest and they can use these to mark different organelles during fluorescence microscopy. To make these marker proteins, they take the sequence of GFP and add the desired sorting signal. A. GFP on its own is an excellent protein to use as an organelle marker protein because it is...

Drosopholia eye development is an example of cell differentiation directed by signal binding to a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK). In this pathway, R7 photoreceptor development requires a receptor (SEV, sevenless), which is activated by binding to a plasma membrane bound signal (BOSS, bride-of-sevenless) displayed on the adjacent R8 cell Receptor activation leads to activation of RAS via two proteins, Drk (down- stream of receptor kinases) and Sos (son-of-sevenless). Activated RAS leads to activation of a phosphorylation cascade that activates the...
