11. What are some of the distinguishing properties of the class of proteins referred to as GTPases? How are these proteins regulated? Describe the typical cycle of how GTPases typically interact with and/or regulate their partner proteins, and any important classes of proteins that regulate the state or function of GTPases. Choose a specific GTPase protein that we have discussed so far this semester and, briefly, describe its function.

Why is water considered a polar molecule?

The negatively charged oxygen atom attracts the positively charged hydrogen atoms.

The oxygen is found between the two hydrogens.

It remains liquid even at very low temperatures.

Both hydrogens are at one end of the molecule, and oxygen is at the other end.

Its electrons spend more time with its oxygen than with either hydrogen.

Beryllium's atomic mass is 9, and its atomic number is 4. How many neutrons are found in a beryllium atom?

Examine the following proteins and determine how many domains each polypeptide has. (If there is more than one chain or model, only examine one.) List the residues in each domain (e.g. 17-98, 141-169), and classify each domain (as in part 1).

1. One subunit of human branched chain aminotransferase (4HBA)

2. Escherichia carbenicillin-binding protein (5ECB)

3. One subunit of the enterobacterial ligand-gated ion channel (6ELC)

C. Examine the following multimeric proteins and classify the symmetrical arrangement of the subunits (e.g. C2, C3, D2, helical, icosahedral). If the program asks you to âLoad __ modelsâ, just hit OK with whatever number it has by default. (Note that each model will load as a different layer.)

1. Nitrosomonas hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (7NHO)

2. Enterobacterial lectin (8EBL)

3. Enterobacterial ligand-gated ion channel (6ELC)

D. Examine the 2 pairs of proteins below. In each case, these are enzymes that catalyze the same reaction in different species. The question is: are they related or not? i.e. Are the structures essentially the same? Often you can get similar reactions from proteins that evolved from a common ancestor (e.g. trypsin and chymotrypsin). Sometimes the same reaction can be catalyzed by proteins with very different evolutionary origins and with very different structures (e.g. trypsin and subtilisin). Your job is to decide if these proteins have fundamentally different folds or if they have basically the same fold. Briefly justify your answer (â¤3 sentences).
