Using sophisticated molecular cloning techniques, you have isolated the genes for two serotonin transporters, called TransA and

TransB, which are expressed in these neuronal cells. A preliminary immunofluores- cence localization of fixed and permeabilized cells found very bright staining of TransA at the nerve cell plasma membrane and little staining elsewhere. TransB, in contrast, stained only very faintly at the nerve cell plasma membrane, but there was intense staining within the cytosol.
Required:
In which subcellular membrane or organelle would you expect most of the TransB to be found? Explain your answer.

Answer:

Vesicles  

Explanation:

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that transports signals or messages between neurons.

Most neuronal cells have vesicles in their interior, which are organelles that store neurotransmitters for exportation -by exocytosis- or from recycling -by endocytosis-. These vesicles also protect the neurotransmitter from the enzymatic action.

Vesicles form in the cellular soma, from where they are transported to nervous terminals. Once the vesicle releases the neurotransmitter to the intercellular space, their membrane remains available in the plasmatic membrane to be reused.

The neurotransmitter concentration in the vesicle interior is related to the storage system and the <u>transport system</u>. There are <u>specialized transporter proteins in the vesicle membrane</u> that are involved with the introduction of the molecule to the organelle.

In the exposed example, transporter Trans B might be located in the vesicle membranes, and hence could be found in the cytosol of the cells.

The 14 different species of finches in the galapagos islands originated from a single ancestral species. what is it about these
Daniel [21]
<span>These islands have different ecologies and most are not connected to each other by landmass. Therefore, the organism adapt to each of the different ecologies on their islands. These populations were physically separated due to lack of connection to each other and would not breed randomly. They therefore formed different species by allopatric speciation.</span>

What does Bioindicator mean?
jolli1 [7]
A bioindicator is a living organism that gives us an idea of the health of an ecosystem. Some organisms are very sensitive to pollution in their environment, so if pollutants are present, the organism may change its morphologyphysiology or behaviour, or it could even die. Hope that helped!
