Question
Defying cell biology dogma, CFTR bypasses this organelle entirely and is secreted directly from the ER to the membrane. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this astoundingly poorly understood organelle that performs nebulous tasks like protein sorting and packaging.
ANSWER: Golgi apparatus [or Golgi complex; or Golgi body]
[10h] A common theory holds that proteins ride along with the cisternae as they undergo this progression from the cis- to trans-Golgi. This general term also names the pro-mitotic complex of cyclin B and CDK1.
ANSWER: maturation [or maturing; or cisternal progression-maturation; or maturation promoting factor; prompt on MPF]
[10m] Cisternal maturation would require proteins to spend a fixed time inside the Golgi, but they don’t, according to FRAP (“frap”) experiments using this reporter protein derived from Aequorea victoria.
ANSWER: green fluorescent protein [or GFP; accept yellow fluorescent protein or YFP]
