___- ER import
___- maintenance in RER
___- mitochondrial import
___- nuclear export
___- nuclear import
___- plastid import
a. a number of arginines and/or lysines with variable residues interspersed
b. a number of hydroxylated residues with interspersed on residues
c. -K – D – E – L
d. -K – K – K – R – K –
e. large hydrophobic stretch followed by a few charged residues
f. midchain length hydrophobics separated by one or two variable residues
Explanation / Answer
a. a number of arginines and/or lysines with variable residues interspersed- nuclear import
b. a number of hydroxylated residues with interspersed on residues: Maintenance in ER
c. -K – D – E – L: ER import
d. -K – K – K – R – K –: Mitochondrial import
e. large hydrophobic stretch followed by a few charged residues: Plastid import
f. midchain length hydrophobics separated by one or two variable residues: Nuclear export
