HSP104 gene stands for Heat Shock Protein 104. This gene is found in baker's yeast i.e Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This gene is responsible for maintaining thermotolerance in yeast. It is particularly responsive during heat stress and aims to protect the cell and cellular components from the damage caused by heat. It also protects the cell in response to arsenite, ethanol etc. It also aims to repair the damaged proteins through resolubilisation, unfolding and dissociation of the same through an ATP dependent process. It also aims to decrease the toxicity of the proteins by minimising/ eliminating the cytoplasmic aggregation of the proteins.

In case of prions, it is particularly resonsible for the dissociation of polypeptides into smaller oligomers. The result is that these prions are then capable to infect the daughter cells of the yeast during stages of cell division i.e mitosis and meiosis.

In this process, the HSP104 gene interacts with other chaperone based proteins like HSP70 & HSP 40. These genes together in association with HSP104 gene helps in refolding of the damaged protein which has been unfolded by the HSP104 gene. The resulting polypeptides are then streamed out through ATP dependent process.

You are studying a new protein called protein Z that you think is a gene-specific transcription factor that enhances expression of genes that are involved in metabolism. Using an EMSA, you have already shown that protein Z binds to enhancers of a group of genes that code for proteins involved in metabolism. In order for a gene-specific transcription factor to be involved in regulating transcription of a gene that may be located far away, what protein does the gene-specific transcription...

Imagine two proteins that move from the ER to the cis-Golgi. Protein X has a specific target region that binds to a protein in the membranes of vesicles bound for the cis-Golgi. Protein Y does not specifically bind, and passively diffuses into vesicles bound for the cis-Golgi. Compare the rate of movement of proteins X and Y from the ER to the cis-Golgi as a function of the concentrations of protein X and Y (a graph will be very helpful).
