Q

Synthesis of class I proteins

A

Q

Synthesis of Class II proteins

A

Hydrophobic transmembrane sequence
Due to charges which flank the TM
Positive charges always face towards the cytoplasm not lumen
So if there is a positive next to the C, then type I
Positive next to N is type 2.

When the charges are swapped, this converts 2 to 1
But without swapping, the default is a type 2 with N into cytoplasm
Signal anchor will always insert in type 2 unless charges are switched
Type 2 will have the N terminus facing inwards
Mutations in the signal sequence don’t make a difference
Default in N in

With a signal sequence, N will always be in cytoplasm
