Lecture 8 PPT Review “Inside the Cell: The Dynamic Cell—Intracellular Transport”
1.) What is the central dogma in biology? (will be discussed in more detail in later lectures)
2.) How do proteins get targeted to their correct destination in the cell?
3.) Where does protein synthesis occur in the cell? How do mRNAs get out of the nucleus? How do
nuclear proteins get into the nucleus?
4.) Outline as many components of the nucleus as you can—think about nuclear import, export,
anatomy of nucleus, nucleic acid synthesis.
5.) What structures serve as a passageway into and out of the nucleus?
6.) What is the name of the amino acid sequence present in all nuclear proteins? What is its
function? What family of proteins interacts with these amino acid sequences?
7.) Outline the steps in the endomembrane system using RNA that has just been
synthesized/transcribed.
8.) What is the signal hypothesis? How does it explain the differences between the “signals”
present within the AA sequence of an ER protein versus a nuclear protein? Include the
modification to the ER protein that we discussed in class.
9.) What is glycosylation? What type of modification is this an example of? Be sure you can identify
what the macromolecules are on this slide and any other example.
10.) Why would a protein travel from the ER to the golgi? What is the protein transported in?
11.) A protein designated for the lysosome would have what unique signal/tag/sequence within its
amino acid sequence?
Lecture 9 PPT Review “Inside the Cell: The Dynamic Cytoskeleton”
1.) Why would the cytoskeleton be characterized as dynamic?
2.) What are the three major elements of the cytoskeleton? Arrange them in order of greatest to
smallest size.
3.) What is the globular protein that forms microfilaments? Describe subunits of this protein.
Describe polarity for this protein?
4.) What is treadmilling?
5.) What is myosin classified as? How does it perform its function? What reaction is involved?
6.) What are 3 different types of movement that can occur through actin-myosin interactions?
7.) What is the primary protein that form intermediate filaments (that we discussed)? What are
two functions of this protein?
8.) Describe polarity and “treadmilling” in intermediate filaments.
9.) What are the proteins that make up the composition of microtubules?
10.) List a few functions of microtubules? (There are two that were outlined in the PPT). Describe the
polarity and “treadmilling” of microtubules.
11.) How are microtubules linked with the following: (Also list the motor proteins involved in each)
a. Vesicle movement
b. Whole cell movemen (think cilia + flagella)
12.) What is an axenome?
13.) Watch “The Inner Life of the Cell” and work on understanding each aspect of the video—always
good to have a visual memory to refer back to when you get stuck on questions!
