Question

The protein RLI performs this reaction on a “sandwich” of two molecules during ribosome recycling. Proteins like p97 can be studied by swapping this reaction’s reactant with a PNP-containing analogue. (-5[1])In a rate-limiting step, this reaction triggers the binding of a second GroES (“grow-E-S”) lid (-5[2])to a GroEL (-5[1])(“grow-E-L”) chamber after a protein has been folded inside. This reaction is faster than the rate of G-actin addition to the minus end of F-actin, but slower than the rate of addition to the plus end. The (*) “power (10[1])stroke” (-5[1])is triggered by the release (10[1])of a molecule (10[1])produced by this reaction (10[1])from the head of myosin (10[1])during muscle contraction. Using the energy of this (-5[1])reaction, a cellular “pump” (10[1]-5[1])exchanges three sodium (10[1])for two potassium ions. (10[1])For 10 points, what reaction cleaves (10[1])a high-energy (10[1])molecule (10[1])to produce a free phosphate and ADP? (10[2])■END■ (10[5])

ANSWER: ATP hydrolysis [accept ATP dephosphorylation or ATP breakdown prompt on hydrolysis or dephosphorylation or breakdown by asking “of what molecule?”]
