You are studying post-translational translocation of a protein into purified microsomes, but you find that import is very inefficient. Which one of the following would increase the efficiency of import if added to a mixture of protein and microsomes. a. BiP b. cytosolic hsp70 c. free ribosomes d. SRP

Translocation of most secretory proteins across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane involves transport of the nascent peptide through the translocon channel, powered by: A. Ribosome-mediated translation. B. ATP hydrolysis by chaperones in the ER lumen. C. Cleavage of the signal peptide. D. Hydrolysis of ATP by both signal recognition particle (SRP) and the SRP receptor.
You are studying a number of proteins that are present in the nucleus. You find that all the proteins in the nucleus have the following amino acid sequence in common somewhere on the protein: PPKKKRKV. You hypothesize that this sequence is a signal sequence that is used to direct proteins to the nucleus. If you were to add this sequence to a cytoplasmic protein, what would you predict would happen to the protein (if your hypothesis were correct)?" a. The protein would be degraded. b. The protein would become a carbohydrate. c. The protein would be located in the nucleus instead of the cytoplasm. d. Nothing would happen--the protein would remain in the cytoplasm.
