Questions and Answers

The sequence of amino acids in a protein is referred to as its primary structure.

True

Regardless of the amino acid to be bound to a tRNA molecule, all tRNA molecules use the same sequence at their 3' end to serve as the amino acid attachment site.

True

Which is a function of the signal-recognition particle (SRP)?

  • The SRP binds to the SRP receptor on the rough endoplasmic reticulum. (correct)
  • The SRP speeds up translation.
  • The SRP binds to sugars added to proteins in the Golgi apparatus.
  • The SRP direct proteins to the nuclear pores of the nuclear envelope.
  • Structurally and functionally related groups of proteins are referred to as:

    Some enzymes are translated in the cytosol but remain inactive until they are phosphorylated by another enzyme, a kinase. Once they are phosphorylated, these enzymes become active. The phosphorylation of the enzyme would be considered a posttranslational modification.

    Study Notes

    Biology 1050 Final Exam (2023FA)

    • The sequence of amino acids in a protein is called its primary structure.
    • All tRNA molecules use the same 3' end as the amino acid attachment site, regardless of the amino acid.
    • The signal-recognition particle (SRP) directs proteins to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
    • Structurally and functionally related proteins are called families.

    Translation in Eukaryotes

    • An initiation complex recognizes the 5' cap structure and scans for the first AUG triplet.
    • Translation continues until the ribosome reaches the end of the mRNA.
    • There is an untranslated region at the 3' end of mRNA.

    Post-translational Modification

    • Some enzymes are translated in the cytosol and remain inactive until they are phosphorylated by a kinase.
    • Phosphorylation of an enzyme is a post-translational modification.

    Protein Families and Folding Domains

    • There are approximately the same number of protein families as folding domains.

    tRNA Sequence

    • The tRNA that binds the start codon has the sequence 5'-AUG-3' as an anticodon.
