Chapter 12 Flashcards
network of membrane-enclosed tubules and sacs (cisternae) - extends from nuclear membrane throughout cytoplasm.
ER
the secretory pathway
Rough ER → Golgi → secretory vesicles → cell exterior
Proteins synthesized on _______ stay in the cytosol or are transported to the nucleus and other organelles.
free ribosomes
Proteins synthesized on __________ are translocated directly into the ER through translocon.
membrane-bound ribosomes
Proteins move into the ER during their synthesis on membrane-bound ribosomes.
Cotranslational translocation
Proteins move into the ER after translation has been completed on free ribosomes.
Posttranslational translocation
cytosol is a _____ environment
reducing
the ER is a ______ environment
oxidizing
misfolded proteins removed from ER by
ERAD
If an excess of unfolded proteins accumulates, a signaling pathway called the ______ is activated.
unfolded protein response (UPR)
Eukaryotic membranes are made of 3 lipid types:
phospholipids, glycolipids, and cholesterol.
Most of phospholipids are synthesized on the _____ side of the ER membrane from water-soluble precursors (glycerol).
cytosol
passage of polar head groups through the membrane occurs by:
flippases
a targeting sequence at the carboxy terminus that directs retrieval back to the ER. (2 examples)
KDEL or KKXX
Most glycolipids and sphingomyelin are synthesized in the
Golgi.
