Protein Structure and Function — Flashcards

_____ increase binding of thyroxine to thyroxine binding globulin

Hint: Hormone

Collagen Synthesis: Staggered tropocollagen molecules are reinforced by covalent _____ cross-linkages to make collagen fibrils

Collagen Synthesis: Once in the extracellular space, cleavage of disulfide-rich terminal regions of procollagen by _____ forms the insoluble tropocollagen

Formation of lysine-hydroxylysine cross-linkages (collagen synthesis) requires both _____ and the enzyme lysyl oxidase

Dystrophin normally anchors the muscle _____ to the extracellular matrix; primarily in skeletal and cardiac muscle

Prion protein is normally expressed in CNS neurons in an _____ conformation, known as PrPc

The _____ of preproinsulin is cleaved while the peptide chains are being assembled, yielding proinsulin

The _____ family of hormones is derived from a single precursor, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)

Each B cell produces light chains that are either _____ or lambda

In the golgi apparatus, peptide sequences are cleaved from the prohormone to form the _____, which is stored in secretory vesicles for later release
