39. Check My Understanding Select the correct answer. Which of the following statements is TRUE? Ribosomes are sites for protein synthesis that can be found on the endoplasmic reticulum and in the cytoplasm. The Golgi apparatus is a site for protein synthesis that can be found in the plasma membrane and in the cytoplasm. Nuclei are sites for lipid synthesis that can be found on the endoplasmic reticulum and in the Golgi apparatus. The cytoplasm is a site for protein and lipid synthesis that can be found in the nucleus and in the Golgi apparatus.

- "Ribosomes are sites for protein synthesis that can be found on the endoplasmic reticulum and in the cytoplasm." - This is true. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis and are located on the rough endoplasmic reticulum and freely in the cytoplasm. Show more…

In a eukaryotic cell, what would be the location of protein synthesis for: Protein found in the matrix of mitochondria? A. Free Ribosomes in the Cytosol B. Surface of the ER C. Either of these D. None of these 2. In a eukaryotic cell, what would be the location of protein synthesis for: Nuclease in the lysosome? A. Free Ribosomes in the Cytosol B. Surface of the ER C. Either of these D. None of these 3. Place the following events involved in signal hypothesis in the correct sequence: A. Ribosome finishes/terminates translation on the RER B. SRP binds to the signal sequence C. mRNA leaves the nucleus D. Growing polypeptide chain enters the lumen of the RER E. SRP-Ribosome-mRNA binds to the SRP Receptor on the RER F. Ribosome begins the process of translation

Question 6 For each protein listed below, describe how you think the protein is trafficked to its final location in an animal cell. In your answer, be sure to list any important signal sequences involved in targeting. As always, drawings are highly encouraged! Example: protein disulfide isomerase – a lumenal ER protein that makes disulfide bonds: Ribosome binds mRNA => signal sequence emerges => ribosome docks on RER membrane => protein translated into the ER lumen (no hydrophobic anchor sequence present) => protein packaged in vesicles to Golgi => Golgi enzymes recognize KDEL sequence => protein sent back to ER Insulin – a small peptide hormone released into the bloodstream from pancreas cells: LAT1 – an amino acid transporter located in the plasma membrane: Glycosyltransferase – A Golgi enzyme that specifically modifies the glycosylation tag of proteins destined for the lysosome:

Which of the following statements are correct? Explain your answers. A. Ribosomes are cytoplasmic structures that, during protein synthesis, become linked by an mRNA molecule to form polyribosomes. B. The amino acid sequence Leu-His-Arg-Leu-Asp-Ala-Gln-Ser-Lys-Leu-Ser-Ser is a signal sequence that directs proteins to the ER. C. All transport vesicles in the cell must have a v-SNARE protein in their membrane. D. Transport vesicles deliver proteins and lipids to the cell surface. E. If the delivery of prospective lysosomal proteins from the trans Golgi network to the late endosomes were blocked, lysosomal proteins would be secreted by the constitutive secretion pathways shown in Figure 15-30. F. Lysosomes digest only substances that have been taken up by cells by endocytosis. G. N-linked sugar chains are found on glycoproteins that face the cell surface, as well as on glycoproteins that face the lumen of the ER, trans Golgi network, and mitochondria. H. Ribosomes bound to the outer nuclear membrane make proteins that are translocated co-translationally into the membrane.
