You have isolated a protein, JAMP (Just A Membrane Protein), from the plasma membrane of a cell. Describe 3 ways to determine whether JAMP is a transmembrane or peripheral protein.

Expert Solution

Ways to determine whether JAMP is transmembrane or peripheral protein:

1) If the protein spans entirely into plasma membrane and form permanent bonds with plasma membrane, then it is Transmembrane protein and if this protein doesn't enter into space of cell membrane and it stays only at the surface of member, then it is Peripheral protein.

2) If the protein helps for the movement of signal molecules from outside(extracellular space) to inside(intracellular space) of the membrane by attaching that signal to itself, then it is Transmembrane protein and if this protein form temporary bonds with plasma membrane and allows cells to coordinate and communicate using protein networks, then it is Peripheral Proteins.

3) If the protein form permanent and stronger bonds with signal proteins and allows them to communicate across the cell, then it is Transmembrane Protein and If it forms temporary and weaker bonds with Peripheral Proteins and allows then to communicate only on outer surface of membrane, then it is Peripheral Protein.

Draw a transmembrane protein (as a cartoon) that functions in the Plasma Membrane. Draw the path for its production and deposition. The transmembrane protein must have 3 N- linked glycosylations and 2 O-linked glycosylations. For the N and O linked glycosylations the saccharide units should be cartoons – geometric shapes).Draw how the above transmembrane protein is bound by a receptor from another cell. The picture should include the structure of the terminal saccharide(s) that is /are contained on your transmembrane...

2. (3pts) You are studying a single-pass transmembrane protein which is destined to the plasma membrane. The protein has a lysine amino acid which flanks the N-terminal side of the transmembrane domain and a glutamic acid amino acid which flanks the C-terminal side of the transmembrane domain. Both the N-terminus and the Cterminus of the protein carries amino acid sequences that can by glycosylated. A) (0.5pt) When the protein reaches the plasma membrane, will the N-terminus or the C-terminus point...

Negative regulation in eukaryotes can occur by direct or indirect repression. You have isolated a protein involved in negative regulation and are using a system with GFP attached as a reporter construct. Show how you might use this system to see whether competition or quenching negative regulation is occurring. First, please define these types of negative regulation in your answer.
