ER Flashcards
Start of Endomembrane system
RER
Polypeptides are synthesized at two location
-1/3 at RER
-2/3 on free cytosolic ribosomes
Protein synthesized at RER
- secreted proteins
- transmembrane proteins
- soluble proteins reside in Endomembrane system
Protein synthesized on free cytosolic ribosomes
-proteins destined to remain in ribosomes
-peripheral proteins of cytosolic surfaces
-proteins transported to nucleus
-proteins for chloroplast/chloroplast/peroxisome
All proteins begin synthesis in
Ribosomes in cytosol
How proteins know where to go
ER signal sequence OR sorting signal
TIGHTLY TIE PROTEIN SEQUENCE,SYNTHESIS,TARGETING
Translation start at
Cytosol
Most polypeptide synthesis take place in
Cytosol
After translation two pathways separated
Free ribosome vs ER-docked ribosome
Protein sorting pathways
1- Co-translational import
2- post-translational import
Co and post translational import difference
Co:
Proteins carry ER signal sequence direct to RER
——ER signal sequence
Post:
Lack of ER signal sequence, complete synthesis on free ribosome
——sorting signal
The proteins are released in cytoplasm from post-translational import and ———
Those who have organelle-specific sorting signal are imported into organelle
**cytoplasmic proteins do not have sorting signal
Multiple ribosome synthesizing same mRNA
Polysome
Co translational translocation of SOLUBLE PROTEIN
Deposit polypeptides in lumen of ER
Signal Recognition Particle (SRP)
Binds ribosome-mRNA-polypeptide complex to ER membrane
SRP bind ER signal sequence to new forming polypeptide
SRP contain
Protein and RNA
Polypeptide synthesis proceed until
ER signal sequence has been formed
Srp bind to signal sequence and ———
Block further translations
ER signal sequence inserted into translocation once ———
SRP has been released
How the channel to ER lumen opens?
ER signal sequence contact interior of translocon
When polypeptide synthesis is complete
- polypeptide released into lumen
- ribosome detaches from ER membrane
-translocon pore closes
G protein (GTPases)
Molecular switch between GTP- and GDP- bound state
Different conformations= different affinities
G-proteins play roles in
- cell signaling
- cell division
- proteins synthesis
- vesicle fusion
