3. Researchers have identified clathrin-coated vesicles that mediate endocytosis and TGN-to-endosome transport, as well as COPII vesicles that mediate ER-to-Golgi transport, as well as COPI vesicles that mediate intra-Golgi transport and Golgi-to-ER transport. But no one has yet identified a general-purpose coat protein involved in creating the secretory vesicles that travel from the TGN to the plasma membrane. Do you think such a coat protein is likely to exist? Explain.

8) Indicate which of the five major types of membrane protein (adhesion, enzymatic, recognition, receptor, and transport) is most likely to be involved in each of the situations described below: a) An oncologist wants to study the cells from a certain tumour that has been surgically removed from a patient. However, she must first treat the tumour with a solution affects a membrane protein on the tumour cells. Because of the effect of the solution on the membrane protein, the tumour tissue falls apart into individual cells. Type of membrane protein: b) Farmer Jebediah wakes up in the morning and makes himself an extra-strong coffee. The caffeine in the coffee attaches to a protein in the plasma membrane of his neurons, inducing a signal transduction cascade and causing Farmer Jebediah to be more alert Type of membrane protein:
What mechanistic features are shared by (a) the formation of multivesicular endosomes by budding into the interior of an endosome and (b) the outward budding of HIV virus at the cell surface? You wish to design a peptide inhibi- tor/competitor of HIV budding and decide to mimic a portion of the HIV Gag protein in a synthetic peptide. Which portion of the HIV Gag protein would be a logical choice? What normal cellular process might this inhibitor block?
You are studying a cytoskeletal accessory protein, AB2. You believe it is involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis allowing for the entry of a novel virus, SARS-CoV X, into the host cell. To confirm that AB2 is required for viral entry, you engineer an AB2 protein containing an N-terminal hydrophobic signal sequence and a C-terminal KDEL sequence (AB2-SSKDEL) and express it in human epithelial airway cells. You compare cells expressing wild-type (WT) AB2 (lacking the signal sequence and KDEL sequence) with cells expressing AB2-SSKDEL. You are looking at the entry of a GFP (green) virus into cells. If AB2 is required for viral entry, via receptor-mediated endocytosis, what results would you expect to see in terms of viral entry? A. WT AB2 - Green ER AB2-SSKDEL - No green ER B. WT AB2-NO green cells AB2-SSKDEL - Many green cells OC. WT AB2 - Many green cells AB2-SSKDEL - NO green cells D.WT AB2 - Green nuclei AB2-SSKDEL - No green nuclei
Explain the mechanism by which the fungal toxin brefeldin A affects retrieval of KDEL-tagged proteins from the cis-Golgi network back to the endoplasmic reticulum.

1. The principle pathway for transport of lysosomal hydrolases from the trans-Golgi network (pH 6.6) to the late endosomes (pH 6.0) and for recycling of Mannose-6-Phosphate (M6P) receptors back to the Golgi depends on the pH difference between those two compartments. From what you know about M6P-receptor binding and recycling pathways for delivery of material to lysosomes, describe the consequences of changing the pH in those two compartments. a) What would happen if the pH in the late endosomes was raised to pH 6.6? complete the sentence by choosing one for bolded choices. The M6P-receptor would (fail in/ succeed in) releasing its associated cargo and these proteins would be recycled back to the (Smooth ER/Trans-Golgi-compartment/rough ER). As a result, ("proteosomal"/ "endosomal"/ "lysosomal) proteins would fail to be delivered to the ("endosomal/lysosomal/ proteosomal)compartment and would accumulate in the ("TGN/Nucleus/Smooth ER.)
Describe the mechanism by which endoplasmic reticulum vesicles fuse with the Golgi apparatus, with reference to the role of SNARE and Rab proteins
2. The mannose 6-phosphate receptor is located predominantly in endosomes and the TGN, but about 10% of the mannose 6-phosphate receptor molecules are in the plasma membrane. Suppose you have an antibody that associates with the mannose 6-phosphate receptor and blocks the ability of the receptor to bind mannose 6-phosphate. Suppose further that this association is rapid and effectively irreversible. If you incubate cells with the antibody for a brief time and then wash away excess antibody, the cells continue to sort lysosomal enzymes normally. But if you incubate cells continuously with the antibody for a prolonged time, the cells begin to secrete lysosomal enzymes. a) How would you interpret this result? b) Suppose that the antibody has been fluorescently labeled by covalently attaching a fluorophore. If you examine cells that have been incubated continuously with this labeled antibody, what types of fluorescence patterns would you expect to see at different time points after…

Draw a pair of antiparallel microtubules across the page. The following should be clarified or added: a. plus and minus ends clearly denoted on both microtubules b. the fact that each microtubule is a polymer of alpha+beta heterodimers must be denoted (with correct orientation) c. one microtubule is bound by a simple representation of plus-end directed motor protein. The motor protein should be named and representation indicates which direction it moves. d. one microtubule is bound by a simple representation of minus-end directed motor protein. The motor protein should be named and representation indicates which direction it moves.
