What would happen if p53 was localized in the extracellular lipid bilayer of the cell membrane? How would this alter cellular physiology?
p53 is an important tumor suppressor
gene. It is referred to as the guardian of the human genome.
It can activate DNA repair proteins when DNA damage is
detected.
It can arrest cell cycle if DNA replication is not proper.
It can initiate apoptosis if the damage is severe and
unrepairable.
It is essential for senescence.
It contains a DNA binding domain and
several trans-activation domains. It is functional inside the
nucleus to regulate the expression of many genes.
If the protein is not localized to the nucleus i.e. if it is
targetted to the cell membrane, it cannot be functional and would
lead to DNA damage and cancerous cell growth
What would happen if p53 was localized in the extracellular lipid bilayer of the cell membrane?...
A cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer, which is a double layer of phospholipids. Each phospholipid has a hydrophilic phosphate head and a hydrophobic lipid tail. These phospholipids are not chemically bound to one another, but rather maintain their structure due to the fact that the lipid tails do not like water. They're hydrophobic^2. If they all buddy up, then they can all stay dry. (See figure.) One way to deal with this quantitatively is to realize that there...

Question 13 Cells and all organelles within a cell are wrapped in a lipid bilayer membrane What is the purpose of the membrane? 1. To facilitate transcription and translation of new proteins 2. To permanently stop the movement of molecules from one area to another 3. To catalyze chemical reactions 4. To compartmentalize chemical reactions

What molecules enable cells to respond to a specific extracellular signaling molecule? a. Specific receptor carbohydrates localized to the inner plasma membrane surface b. Plasma lipid bilayer c. Ion channels d. Receptors that specifically recognize and bind that particular messenger molecule
If the lipid bilayer in Section B represents the ER membrane, which part of the protein is found INSIDE the ER (in the ER lumen)? A. COOH 26 oligosaccharides transmembrane a helix cause lipid bilayer B. LSH- C. -NH2 SH Figure 10-22. Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th Edition O The entire protein must be inside the lumen of the ER. O All sections are equally likely to be in the ER lumen. Section B is inside the ER lumen....
Discuss how the amino acid distribution of a protein that is embedded in the lipid bilayer of the cell ( a membrane protein) differs from the amino acid distribution in globular protein.
1Of the permeable of potassium ions decrease, what would happen to the membrane potential? depolarize is this correct? 2/What will happen to the resting membrane potential if you add potassium ions to the extracellular fluid? it will decrease is this correct 3/ What is oxygen used for in cellular respiration? a/to accept carbon from the citric acid cycle, creating C02 b./to accept hydrogen from NADH, refreshing NAD+, creating H20 which one is correct
The following experiment was conducted to test the fluid mosaic theory. The lipid bilayer of a cell was saturated with fluorescence, so that it appeared green when viewed under a microscope. The cell membrane was then bleached of colour in a single spot, which appeared white against the green of the rest of the cell membrane when viewed under a microscope. If the cell were left for a time, what would you expect to see when the cell is again...
Why would amphipathic molecules in a lipid membrane drive the membrane to self-seal? Why don’t phospholipids flip flop across a lipid bilayer, from one side to the other?
