Question

BiP is found in high concentration in the lumen of the ER but is not present in significant concentrations elsewhere in the cell. How do you think this condition is established and maintained

Answer 1

Initially, endoplasmic reticulum plays a key role in the production of protein, while BiP found in the endoplasmic reticulum contains Lysine , Aspartic acid , Glutamic acid and Leucine sequence. All these, cause BiP concentration to remain high in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) hence retained. Making the lumen always concentrated on BiP.

Step-by-step explanation:

BiP is known as binding protein, that binds two or more molecules together and is found in the endoplasmic reticulum at the lumen due to the absence of glucose.

The endoplasmic reticulum found in fungi cells, plant cells, animal cells, and protists cells, makes and processes proteins.

Lysine , Aspartic acid , Glutamic acid and Leucine sequence ensures the protein concentration is protected in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
