A plasma membrane protein has three transmembrane domains, with the N-terminus of the protein facing the cytoplasm, while the C-terminus faces the extracellular space. Will this protein have an N-terminal or an internal start transfer sequence? How many total hydrophobic signal sequences will be present in the protein
Added by Jason S.
Step 1
This means that the protein spans the membrane three times, with alternating orientations of its domains. Show more…

A membrane protein has an internal signal sequence, but no other start or stop signal sequences. Assume this protein is translocated from cytosol into the ER, predict the location of this protein. A) The entire protein will be in the ER lumen B) The protein will be anchored in the ER membrane, the C terminal end of this protein in the ER lumen, the N terminal domain in the cytosol C) The protein will be anchored in the ER membrane, the N terminal end of this protein in the ER lumen, the C terminal domain in the cytosol

Proteins may be bound to the exoplasmic or cytosolic face of the plasma membrane by way of covalently attached lipids. What are the three types of lipid anchors responsible for tethering proteins to the plasma-membrane bilayer? Which type is used by cell-surface proteins that face the external medium? By glycosylated proteoglycans?
