The folding pathways of some proteins require two enzymes that catalyze isomerization reactions such as,

a) Peptide prolyl isomerase (PPI)  catalyzes the elimination of folding intermediates with inappropriate disulfide cross-links

b) Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) enzyme that catalyzes the interchange, or shuffling, of disulfide bonds until the bonds of the native conformation are formed

c) Peptide prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPI) catalyzes the interconversion of the cis and trans isomers of Proline residue peptide bonds

d) Peptide prolyl isomerase (PPI) can be a fast step in the folding of proteins that contain some Pro peptide bonds in the cis conformation

Which of the following combinations is correct about protein folding pathways?

In drosophila, the somatic cells of the hub are able to regulate stem cell proliferation by secreting the paracrine factor Unpaired onto the cells attached to them. Unpaired activates the JAK-STAT pathway in the adjacent germ stem cells to specify their self-renewal. Those cells that are distant from the paracrine factor cannot receive this signal, they begin their differentiation into the sperm cell lineage. This means hub cells act as

Chemical regulation of stem cells takes the form of secreted proteins from surrounding cells that influence stem cell states and progenitor differentiation through endocrine, paracrine, or juxtacrine mechanisms. These signaling factors:
