Packet 7: Bonus 2

A protein in this structure’s FG repeats are described as “oily spaghetti.” For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this structure whose namesake “pores” contain a “basket” connected to “spokes” and “filaments.” A “lamina” on its inner side provides structure and supports those pores.
ANSWER: nuclear envelope [accept nuclear membrane; prompt on nucleus; reject “cell membrane” or “plasma membrane”]
[10h] RanGTP binds to these proteins, releasing their substrate. These proteins bind to the nuclear localization signal of certain proteins, which they transport into the nucleus.
ANSWER: importins [prompt on karyopherins]
[10e] While large proteins must be transported by importins and exportins, proteins smaller than 60 kilodaltons can move in this manner, in which molecules move from areas of high to low concentration.
ANSWER: diffusion [antiprompt on passive transport]
