The signal sequence found in proteins that are sorted to the matrix of the mitochondrion is
A. an N-terminal amphiphilic α-helix that is cleaved from the protein by a signal peptidase in the matrix of the mitochondrion
B. five adjacent (+)-charged amino acids found anywhere within the protein sequence; this signal sequence is not removed from the protein
C. an N-terminal amphiphilic α-helix that is not removed from the protein
D. an N-terminal sequence of at least eight hydrophobic residues that is not removed from the protein
E. five adjacent (+)-charged amino acids found anywhere within the protein sequence; this signal sequence is cleaved from the protein by a signal peptidase in the matrix of the mitochondrion
Homework Answers
Mithochondria also synthesizes protein but majority of proteins are synthesized in cytoplasm which is transported to different organelles. The proteins that are transported to mithochondria by post translational process have a signal sequence that is also called as leader sequence, and this leader sequence is responsible for recognition of that protein. The leader sequence have both hydrophobic and basic amino acids but their is absence of acidic amino acids. This leader sequence is further cleaved by signal peptidase after its entry in the organelles.
Amphiphilic means it contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids.
So the answer for this question is option A- An N terminal amphiphilic α-helix that is cleaved from the protein by a signal peptidase in the matrix of the mitochondrion

A protein contains an N-terminal ER signal sequence followed by several negatively charged amino acids, an internal ER stop-transfer sequence, and an internal ER start-transfer sequence (in order from N-terminal to C-terminal). The signal sequence is cleaved by signal peptidase upon lateral release from sec61. How will the protein orient in the ER membrane? Selected Answer: E. The protein will be soluble and released into the ER lumen Answers: A. Lumenal N-terminal, cytosolic C-terminal B. Lumenal N-terminal, cytosolic protein loop,...

What would happen in each of the following cases? Assume in each case that the protein involved is a soluble protein, not a membrane protein. You add a signal sequence (for the ER) to the N-terminal end of a normally cytosolic protein. You change the hydrophobic amino acids in an ER signal sequence into charged amino acids. You change the hydrophobic amino acids in an ER signal sequence into other hydrophobic amino acids. You move the N-terminal ER signal sequence...

Which of the following statements describing the import of proteins into the nucleus is correct? Answers A-D A Transport into the nucleus requires the activity of a G protein. B The receptor for nuclear proteins is found in the cytosol and travels into the nucleus with the protein being transported o С Proteins destined for the nucleus are transported in a fully-folded conformation.

The import of proteins into mitochondria requires energy in the form of ATP for their [____] and of mitochondria that are energized, with an electrochemical gradient. The imported proteins must be synthesized on [____] ribosomes as they are bound to requisite [____]. Protein import itself requires that the protein have an N-terminal targeting sequence that folds into an [____] for interaction with the import receptor on the outer mitochondrial membrane. The translocase of the outer membrane (TOM) complex consists of...

The role of the signal recognition particle (SRP) in sorting proteins that contain an ER signal sequence is A. the SRP must be associated with a cytosolic ribosome before the ribosome can attach to the ER membrane and initiate translation of an mRNA encoding a protein with an ER signal B. the SRP binds the signal sequence in the cytosol after synthesis of the protein has begun on a ribosome, and escorts the ribosome/mRNA complex to the ER membrane C....

Sequence Comparisons Proteins called molecular chaperones (described in Chapter 4) assist in the process of protein folding. One class of chaperone found in organisms from bacteria to mammals is heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). All Hsp90 chaperones contain a 10 amino acid "signature sequence," which allows for ready identification of these proteins in sequence databases. Two representations of this signature sequence are shown below. (a) In this sequence, which amino acid residues are invariant (conserved across all species)? (b) At...

QUESTION 9 Sequence analysis of a membrane protein shows four 20 amino acid long stretches of residues that are predominantly hydrophobic Between each of these stretches of hydrodophobic residues, a stretch of predominantly hydrophilic residues is found. From this observation one can reasonably postulate that: A this is a 4 stranded beta barrel which spans the membrane B.this is a glycoprotein o this protein has 4 alpha helical segments that span the membrane o this protein can be removed from...
