What are Three ways to control enzyme?
One way to control an enzyme is through post-translational modification such as phosphorylation or glycosylation. Other ways to control enzymes are through enzyme induction, inhibition, or by compartmentalizing the metabolic pathways.
What is the difference between a dictyosome and a Golgi body?
in function 1. in plant cells, dictyosome helps in plate formation during cell division whereas in animal cell golgi bodies help in furrow making. 2. golgi bodies help in lysosome creation whereas dictyosome does not. 3. golgi bodies help in glycosylation of peptidoglycan in animal cells where as dictyosomes does not.
What concentration of glucose causes glycosylation?
Hemoglobin is glycosylated at any concentration, even normal blood sugar levels. This is why there is a "normal" hemoglobin A1c range. The problem comes when there is an elevated blood glucose. The problem is with the elevated blood glucose, not that there is an elevated Hgb A1c. The A1c is only a marker and a way for physicians to measure the average blood glucose over the past 120 days.
What are the functions of endoplasmic reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is a folded membrane what moves about the cell. It extends from the nucleus to the cell membrane. It is responsible for the production of the protein and lipid. Ribosomes also make proteins.
What happens to a protein molecule after it has been translated?
it can undergo activation into a functional protein through clevage of certain amino acid sequencies. a amino acid sequence primary structure can fold to form the secondary and tertiary sturcture and forming bonds. splicing (Thats what the protein undergoes) to form functional protein.Also their is processing such as glycosylation in the ER to help with protein folding into functional enxymes.
Why does glycosylation of hemoglobin take place?
glycosylation
Where does glycosylation of proteins occur?
Some glycosylation happens on the rER; most on the Golgi apparatus.
Mention the functions of Golgi body in plants?
protein glycosylation, lipid glycosylation and also Golgi works as a secretory point; from Golgi, secretory vesicles bud.
What is the Portuguese translation for alterations in glycosylation?
It's "Alterações na Glicosilação"
What are three types of post-translational modification?
methylation lipidation glycosylation phosphorylation
Where does glycosylation of proteins occur in mammalian cell?
In both the Endoplasmic Reticulum and the Golgi complex.
What is the molecular weight for invertase?
For yeast invertase, the cytoplasmic form is 135kDa. The excreted form is 270kDa due to heavy glycosylation
Is thyrogine a amino acid?
i think you mean..thyrogen? Thyrogen is comprised of two non-covalently linked subunits, an alpha subunit of 92 amino acid residues containing two N-linked glycosylation sites and a beta subunit of 118 residues containing one N-linked glycosylation site. The amino acid sequence of thyrotropin alfa is identical to that of human pituitary thyroid stimulating hormone.

What is Endoplasmic role?
First phases of glycosylation of proteins proceeds there, lipids are synthetized there and mainly, intermembrane proteins and proteins to be excreted out from the cell are synthetized into inside of ER (ribosomes synthetizing these proteins land on the ER surface and synthetize new protein directly into ER).
What are unprocessed proteins?
Proteins are formed in ribosomes in the cytoplasm as unprocessed proteins. They processed to form additional bonds, binding extra chemical moieties such as glycosylation, phosphorylation that helps them to make stable 2D and 3D conformations. This process is accompanied by protein folding. The processing usually occurs in ER and Golgi apparatus.
What workes with the endoplasmic reticulum?
There are essentially two types of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) The rough ER contains structures called ribosomes on its surface that are involved in protein synthesis (creation of new proteins) The smooth ER is associates with a process called protein glycosylation (adding sugar molecules to newly formed proteins)
