The horizontal blocks below help summarize functional features associated with a proteins amino acid sequence with the N-terminal at left and the C-terminal at right. For the two proteins displayed SP indicates a signal peptide, and GFP is green fluorescent protein. The single letters at the C-terminus of the constructs are amino acid abbreviations. Based on your understanding of protein secretion in eukaryotic cells, at the right of each protein predict all locations in the plant cell where you would expect to see fluorescence by GFP after expression in plant cells and examination for fluorescence. Solution Answer: (a) Because of its small size, GFP can enter nuclear pores. So, GFP protein not fused to other polypeptides can be seen in both cytoplasm and nucleus in plant cells when monitored under fluorescence microscopy. (b) Addition of ER-retension sequence, SEKDEL to a recombinant protein results in the retention of the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). So, the above sequence containing the SEKDEL sequence can be predicted to be seen in the ER- derived vescicles/compartments and partial localization in protein storage vacuoles within the cell..
