Endomembrane System Flashcards
Rough ER Jobs
1- adding carbs to glycoprotein
2- folding of polypeptides
3- fixing misfolded proteins
4- assembly of multimeric proteins
Smooth ER Jobs
1- drug detoxification
2- carb metabolism
3- calcium storage
4- steroid biosynthesis
Hydroxylation
NADPH dependent process of adding OH groups to drugs to make them easier to excrete
cytochrome p-450
protien catalyst of hydroxylation
glucose-6-phosphatase
converts glucose-6-phosphate to free glucose in carb metabolism
HMG-CoA reductase
commited step in cholesterol biosynthesis
flippases
transfer phospholipids from the cytoplasm to the ER lumen
phospholipid exchange (transfer) proteins
move phospholipids to designated organelles (mitochondria, chloroplast, or peroxisomes)
Golgi Role
further processing, sorting, and packaging of membrane lipids
N-glycosylation/O-glycosylation
Addition of side chains to the N of asparagine or OH of serine, threonine, or tyrosine to create a glycoprotein
Core oligosaccharide
2x N-acetylglucosamine, 9x mannose, 3x glucose. Beginning side chain of all glycoproteins until trimmed and modified in the ER lumen
cotranslational glycosylation
addition of oligosaccharide as the polypeptide is being formed
calnexin/calreticulin/ERp57/UGGT
form a protein complex to promote proper folding and disulfide bond formation of glycoproteins
terminal glycosylation
further processing of glycoproteins withing the golgi, involving removal and addition of units to the core oligosaccharide
protein tag
targets the protein to a transport vesicle that will take it to the right location
posttranslational import
uptake of completed polypeptides with targeting signals into their designated organelle (after translation in cytoplasm)
cotranslational import
polypeptide is brought into the ER as synthesis occurs (stays in endomembrane system)
signal hypothesis
polypeptides destined for ER have an ER signal sequence that direct the mRNA to the RER
preprotein
protein containing an ER signal sequence
SRP (signal recognition particle)
mediates the contact of the ribosome to the ER
translocon
structure of ER membrane responsible for translocation of polypeptides across the ER membrane
retention tag
protien tag that keeps them in the ER
