Saved

Imagine that you are working with DNA sequences of solubleproteins (not membrane proteins) and have the technology togenetically engineer/alter the existing sequence and you canexpress this particular protein in a yeast cell model.

You also have the power to track and visualize where thegenetically engineered proteins traffic in your modelsystem.  

You engineer an ER signal sequence to the amino-terminal end ofa normally cytosolic protein.   

Which best describes the fate of this protein?

Question 1 options:

A. The protein is translocated through the ER membranetranslocon channel, N’ end first

B. The protein is translocated through the ER membranetranslocon channel, C’ end first

C. The protein remains in the cytosol

Question 2 (1 point)

You engineer an ER signal sequence to the carboxyl-terminal endof a normally cytosolic protein.   

Which best describes the fate of this protein?

Question 2 options:

A. The protein is translocated through the ER membranetransloconchannel, N’ end first

B. The protein is translocated through the ER membranetransloconchannel, C’ end first

C. The protein remains in the cytosol
