Q

A resident protein of the ER lumen, Protein X, is mutated such that it cannot properly fold. A cell that expresses this mutant Protein X is treated with a chemical that prevents function of the proteasome. Under these conditions.

Protein X is trafficked by vesicles to the proteasome

polyubiquitinated Protein X accumulates in the cytosol

Protein X moves from the ER to the Golgi and then to lysosomes for degradation

Protein X accumulates in the ER lumen

A

Q

Where would the C-terminal of this membrane protein be? The red and orange stretches are transmembrane helices. First, look at the first transmembrane domain, and determine which side of the ER membrane the N terminal will be on. Then, follow the protein as it crosses the membrane, crosses back, crosses again, and crosses back again…

non-cytosolic side
ctyosolic side
could be either
not enough information to determine

A
