Fate of Newly synthesised proteins Flashcards
(6 cards)
1
Q
what are free ribosomes responsible for?
A
translation into soluble proteins for release into the cytoplasm.
2
Q
what do the initial codons on mRNA not code for
A
hydrophobic amino acids.
3
Q
what are bound ribosomes responsible for
A
responsible for translation into proteins that will be secreted into the membrane, lysosomes, or proteins that will be translated to be incorporated into membranes.
4
Q
what type of amino acids are signal sequences made out of?
A
hydrophobic amino acids.
5
Q
what type of amino acids are internal hydrophobic sequences made out of and what are they characteristic of?
A
hydrophobic and they are typical of membrane proteins
6
Q
what do nuclear localisation sequences code for
A
basic amino acids that appear on proteins that are destined for the nucleus.
