In immunofluorescence studies you always see the small G-protein Ras in a specific region of the cell and, given its protein sequence along with many other proteins localized to this area, you hypothesize that their C-terminal Cys-Ala-Ala-X (X can be any amino acid) motifs may be responsible for targeting these proteins to this subcellular region. To test this hypothesis, you genetically engineer the sequence encoding this motif onto a cDNA encoding green fluorescent protein. When immunofluorescence is used, where specifically would you expect to see GFP localized in the cell?

Human alkaline phosphatase protein is attached to the plasma membrane by a GPI anchor. In an experiment you treat cells with each of the following enzymes and find one of them inhibits the activity of the protein because it releases it into the extracellular matrix. Which specific enzyme led you to conclude that this anchor on alkaline phosphatase was both necessary and sufficient for binding the protein to the membrane where it can perform its normal activity?
