The cis and trans GroEL rings undergo conformational changes in a reciprocating fashion, with events in one ring influencing events in the other ring. The entire GroEL/ES chaperonin complex functions as follows;

a) One GroEL ring that has bound 7 ATP also binds an improperly folded substrate protein, which associates with hydrophobic patches that line the inner wall of the GroEL chamber

b) The GroES cap then binds to the GroEL ring like a lid on a pot, inducing a conformational change in the resulting cis ring

c) Within ~10 s the cis ring catalyzes the hydrolysis of its 7 bound ATPs and releases the resulting Pi , which weakens the interactions binding GroES to GroEL

d) A second molecule of improperly folded substrate protein binds to the cis ring, followed by 7 ATP

e) The binding of substrate protein and ATP to the cis ring conformationally induces the trans ring to release its bound GroES, 7 ADP, and the presumably now better-folded substrate protein

Which of the following is incorrect functions of GroEL/ES chaperonin complex?

A chemiosmotic model  has been proposed  to explain Polar transport , following steps are involve in the transport of auxin polarly;

a) IAA enters the cell either passively in the undissociated form (IAAH) or by secondary active cotransport in the anionic form (IAA–)

b) The cell wall is maintained at an acidic pH by the activity of the plasma membrane H+- ATPase

c) In the cytosol, which has acidic pH, the IAAH form predominates

d) The anions exit the cell via auxin anion efflux carriers that are concentrated at the basal ends of each cell in the longitudinal pathway

Which of the following is the correct statements about the polarly transporting of auxin?

The first step in polar transport is auxin influx. According to the model, auxin can enter plant cells from any direction by either of two mechanisms:

a) Passive diffusion of the protonated (IAAH) form across the phospholipid bilayer

b) Secondary active transport of the dissociated (IAA–) form via a 2H+–IAA– symporter

c) Active diffusion of the protonated (IAAH) form across the phospholipid bilayer

Find out the correct statements of about diffusion of IAA.
