7.10-7.20 Flashcards
what happens once hydrophobic anchor sequences emerge from the ribosome
recognized and are transferred out of the translocon into the bilayer
some hydrophobic sequences are what?
both dual purpose and anchor sequences
when is the N-terminal signal likely cleaved
after the beginning of translocation
signal anchor proteins target by what?
using an internal transmembrane domain (signal anchor)
what decides whether the N-terminal or C-terminal is translocated into the ER
distribution of charged residues on either side of the transmembrane domain
polytopic proteins
proteins that span the membrane multiple times
polytopic proteins can have transmembrane regions that integrate __________ or in _______
one at a time or in pairs
what happens if the ER-signal peptide is N-terminal?
it is almost always cleaved after it has served its purpose
signal peptidase complex composition
5 subunits: 2 with proteolytic activity and 3 regulatory
what is the exact cleavage site influenced by
aa residues in immediate vicinity of cleavage site
what is the signal peptide often processed with after removal
signal peptide petidase
IMPs
integral membrane proteins, non-removable from the membrane by a salt extraction procedure
GPI-anchoring always tethers a protein to the ___________ face of a membrane
non-c
what does GPI stand for
glycosylphosphatidylinositol
what is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol
PI that has sugars added to it
which side does GPI-anchoring begin on
c-face of ER membrane
how does initial GPI get from c-face to non-c-face
flippase/translocase moes it across to the lumen sdie
what happens once the GPI is moved to the lumen side
more sugars are added along with three phosphoethanolamines
signal for GPI-anchoring
small C-terminal hydrophobic domain of variable length
what is the GPI-anchoring signal recognized by
integral membrane complex which cuts the signal off from the protein (was in process of being translocated)
omega site
new C-terminus to which integral membrane complex is attached
what does the integral membrane complex attach omega site to
terminal phosphoethanolamine residue of GPI, enzyme complex liberates itself
- (2-step transamidation reaction)
purpose of GPI-anchoring
- way of targeting proteins in polarized cells/lipid rafts
- would give IMP more lateral mobility
- free protein from membrane association by enzymatic cleavage of attachment, passing message to interior of cell
more than half of secretory and membrane proteins in a cell are ___________
glycosylated
