Exam 2 Flashcards
ATPase which provides energy for the retrotranslocation of misfolded proteins from the ER to the cytosol.
AAA-ATPase
Enzyme which ‘activates’ fatty acids by the addition of CoA.
Acetyl-CoA ligase
Enzyme which catalyzes the attachment of Co-A-linked fatty acids to glycerol 3-phosphate
Acyl transferase
BiP
Hsp70-like chaperone protein, located on the lumenal side of the ER membrane, which pulls proteins through the protein translocator via ATP-driven cycles of binding and release. This protein also functions as a chaperone protein which recognizes and binds to incorrectly folded proteins, preventing them from aggregating or leaving the ER.
Calnexin
Membrane-bound ER chaperone protein which binds to the carbohydrate domains of unfolded ER proteins, preventing the proteins from leaving the ER.
Calreticulin
Soluble ER chaperone protein which binds to the carbohydrate domains of unfolded ER proteins, preventing the proteins from leaving the ER.
Chaperone proteins
proteins that bind to others to regulate folding
co-translational translocation
translation and translocation of a protein into the ER happening at once
cytoplasm includes
cytosol and organelles
E3 ubiquitin ligase
Enzyme which attaches polyubiquitin tags to unfolded proteins as they exit a protein translocator and enter the cytosol
* marking the protein for destruction by proteasomes.
ER retention signal
Four amino acid sequence at the C-terminal of a protein which prevents it from being translocation from the ER to other organelles.
ER signal peptidase
Enzyme, closely associated with the ER protein translocator, which cleaves ER signal sequences from translocating proteins.
flippase
specific flipper of plasma membrane, results in asymmetric lipid bilayer
free ribosomes function
in the synthesis of cytosolic proteins
glucosidase cleaves
terminal glucose residues from N-linked oligosaccharides in the ER
ER enzyme which adds a glucose residue to ER proteins that are not properly folded.
Glucosyl transferase
Glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol (GPI) anchor
A glycolipid which can be attached to the C-terminus of a protein in the ER lumen; when transported to the plasma membrane the protein will be displayed on the cell surface.
Mitochondrial Hsp70 function
binds to imported proteins as they emerge from the TIM channel, and helps ‘pull’ the protein into the matrix space using the energy of ATP hydrolysis.
Mitochondrial Hsp70 is part of the
TIM translocator
N-glycanase
Enzyme which removes oligosaccharides chains from ER proteins that have been retrotranslocated into the cytosol.
N-linked oligosaccharides are _ linked to _ residues of _
Oligosaccharides covalently linked to asparagine residues of proteins.
nucleoporins are composed of and orientated
repetitive domains and orientated symmetrically across nuclear envelope
Nuclear basket
Network of fibrils which protrude from nuclear pore proteins into the nucleus and cytosol.
Nuclear export receptors (exportins)
Receptors which bind to nuclear export signals and NPC proteins; they function in the translocation of proteins from the nucleus to the cytosol.
