ER & Golgi Flashcards
What part of ER has ribosome receptors?
Rough ER
What is the function of sER?
lipid production & detoxification
sterod hormone synthesis
muscle contraction & relaxation
glycogen degradation & gluconeogenesis
The rER is ____ with nuclear membrane
continuous
Soluble proteins are ____
excreted
Transmembrane proteins become part of ______
plasma membrane
What is the function of the rER?
proteins destined for ER, golgi, endosomes, lysosomes, plasma membrane & secretion
helps fold proteins
monitors assembly, retention, and degradation of proteins
What cells would have a lot of sER?
adrenal cortex, cells of testes (leydig) - they need to make lots of hormones
hepatocyte sER makes what detoxification enzyme?
Cytochrome P450
What is the purpose of Glucose-6-phosphatase and where is it located?
removes phosphate from G6P, located in sER
If a person is taking medication what might increase in cells to help detoxify?
sER
Where are proteins synthesized?
Cytosol, unless they have signal sequence that brings them to rER. Otherwise they are translated on ribosome in cytoplasm.
Once mRNA leave nucleus it always combines with ____ _____
free ribosome
What are the two ways a protein can be taken from cytoplasm into organelle?
co-translational translocation
post-translational translocation
What is co-translational translocation?
While a protein is being translated it is transported to rER
What is post-translational translocation?
After a protein is made a signal sequence allows it to be transported to an organelle
What does SRP stand for?
Signal recognition particle
What is an ER signal sequence and where is it found?
A sequence at the N-terminus of protein, signaling for it to be moved to ER. It signals to an SRP
What is the purpose of SRP?
it binds to the ER signal sequence and brings the ribosome to a translocon and transfers it, then is displaced
Describe all the steps in cotranslational translocation
(pg. 96 in ppt)
1. ER signal sequence on protein
2. SRP binds to signal sequence
3. SRP brings protein over to translocation channel
4. SRP detaches
5. Ribosome transfers growing polypeptide chain through ER membrane at the translocon
What is a translocon?
A pore complex on membrane of ER that the growing protein goes through
What does BiP stand for?
Binding protein
What will always happen to the N-terminal signal sequence?
It will be cleaved off
What cleaves the ER sequence?
signal peptidase
What is the purpose of BiP?
helps proteins fold, it binds the peptide in the ER lumen and pulls it in
What does it mean that a BiP is a lumeneal ER chaperone?
It helps proteins fold
What is a single-pass transmembrane protein?
a protein that has a stretch of hydrophobic amino acids and stays in the ER membrane, the rest of protein is translated in cytoplasm
Describe the process of a single-pass transmembrane protein being translated
ER terminal sequence (usually N-terminus) - translocation to rER, a hydrophobic sequence in protein anchors it to ER membrane as a STOP sequence, the rest is translated in cytoplasm. When translation complete, N terminal cleaved, but it remains in membrane b/c of hydrophobic region
How does the hydrophobic region of a translocating protein fold?
alpha helical structure
What is an internal signal sequence?
It is a signal sequence (like ER signal sequence) that is not on the end of a protein - it’s in the middle, and it initiates translocation
Does a single-pass transmembrane protein with internal signal sequence enter cytoplasm with C or N terminus?
can be either, depends on sequence
If the signal sequence is internal, is it still cleaved?
No
What is a multipass transmembrane protein?
It is a protein that has multiple start and stop sequences and is “stitched” into plasma membrane. It’s basically a transmembrane protein with many parts in the membrane (the parts that cross the membrane are alpha-helices)
What is PDI?
Protein disulfide isomerase
What are chaperones?
They recognize and bind unfolded or misfolded protein, helps fold correctly
Name 3 ER resident proteins
BiP, Calnexin, Calreticulin
What does a PDI do?
it helps reaction - oxidation of free SH groups on cysteins (S-S bonds) - helps fold protein
Once protein is made in the rER, what happens?
disulfide bonds, protein is modified - needs proper folding, addition of carbohydrates, proteolytic cleavage, oligomerisation
Cis golgi receives proteins from the ____
ER
What is the function of trans golgi?
sorts and packages proteins into vesicles to go to plasma membrane
What happens to proteins if they aren’t folded correctly?
They are polyubiquinated - ultimate degradation
Where are sugar chains modified?
golgi
Sugar chains are added to protein om ER. What is the last sugar added?
Glucose (3 glucose)
How are proteins glycosylated?
Dolichol assembles the carbohydrates and puts transfers them to protein. They are added to N terminus of Asn residues. Total of 14 sugars
Where are sugars attached to protein in ER?
N-termins of Asn
What is dolichol?
a membrane bound lipid that assembles and transfers sugars (oligosaccharide) to protein
What happens to protein and sugar once it is properly folded?
Last four sugars are cleaved off - 3 glucose and a mannose. This is signal that it is correctly folded
where are the 4 sugars cleaved off of a properly folded protein?
ER
Where do you get specificity of sugar chains?
golgi
In golgi, there is more N-linked trimming and/or addition of ______
monosaccharides
What is O-linked glycosylation?
when sugars are attached to OH of serine and threonine
What does GPI stand for?
glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol
Where are GPI linked proteins assembled?
ER
GPI linked proteins are commonly found in ___ rafts
lipid
Describe what happens with GPI anchors when a protein is destined for a plasma membrane
It is covalently attached to GPI anchor in ER, then usually directs protein to lipid raft
If a protein will not fold correctly in the ER, what happens to it?
Ejected via translocon to cytosol, where it is deglycosyalated & ubiquilated, taken up by proteasome and degraded
key words: CFTR mutation, fibrosis in lungs, sweat, autosomal recessive, respiratory failure are of what disease?
Cystic Fibrosis
