Q

How do Protein Sorting Signals guide protein transport?

A
  • N or C terminus or Within protein sequence (15 - 60 residues long) may form signal patch
  • Necessary and sufficient for protein targeting
  • recongized by complementary receptors
  • may be removed via signal peptidases at final destination

Q

What is Nuclear transport and its characterisitics?

A
  • Bidirectional, Selective, and Gated

    • Which are rich in LYSINE (L) (LYS) and ARGINE (R) (ARG)
  • Proteins needed in nucleus are imported to Cytosplasm
    • RNA /DNA poly and Histones , Gene regulatory
  • tRNA and mRNA exported to cytosol

Q

What are nuclear pore complexes? “NPCs”

A
  • Nuclear Envelope
  • composed via nucleoporins
  • octagonal symmetry
  • transports is BIDIRECTIONAL
  • passive diffusive of small molecules and facilitated transport

Q

What is Nuclear Import?

A
  • NLS is recongized by Nuclear Import Receptors (NIRS)
  • Soluable and bind to NLS and to NPC protein (fibrils that extend to cytoplasm)
  • NPC binding via phenylalanine and glycine (F G) repears
    • Binding sites for receptors
  1. move via cyclic binding,dissociating, rebinding to adjacent FG repeats
  2. Cargo released inside nucleus and NIR returned to Cytoplasm

Q

What is Nuclear Export?

A
  • Moves cargo from nucleus to Cytoplasm
  • vis Nuclear export signals (NES) and Nuclear export receptors (NER)
  • NER BIND to cargo present in nucleus and NPC proteins
  1. BInding,Dissociating, and rebinding across NPC
  2. Cargo released in Cytoplasm

Q
A

SREBP - sterol response element binding protein

proteases cleaves SREBP which releases a release factor that enters NPC and triggers cholesterol formationr

SCAP - SREBP cleavage activation protein

responds to cholesterol and recruits proteases when there is a low concentration

Q

What are characterisitcs mitochondrial proteins

A

mostly encoded in nuclear DNA

synthesized on ribosomes and imported to mito.

Proteins cross ouuter and/or inner mito. membrane (TRANSLOCATION)

directed via signal sequences

Q

What are the characterisitics of mitochondiral signal sequences ?

A

N term. and internal signal sequences

POSTIVELY CHARGED residues cluster on one end and UNCHARDED HYDROPHOBIC on the other end tof orm amphophillic helix

Receptor proteins focus on Configuration of structures rather than precise sequence

mediated by protein translocators

Q

What are your protein translocators ?

A
  • TOM
    • 2 components receptro for mito. precursoe proteins + translocation channels
    • outer membrane protein ; import all nuclear endoded proteins
  • SAM “Sorting and Assembling Machine”
    • translocates and inserts/folds beta barrel proteins in outer membrane
  • TIM 22
    • Inner membrane; mediates the insertion of specfic subclass proteins (ATP, ADP, Pi transport)
  • TIM 23
    • Soluable proteins into matrix and helps and inserts into inner membrane
  • OXA
    • Mediates insertion of all proteins synthesized in the mitochondria. Also some proteins already present in the matrix brought from the outside

Q

How does the protein import into the protein mitochondrial martix

A
17
Q

What Parts of import into the mitochondiral matrix require energy?

A
18
Q

just know this

A
19
Q

What is the difference between Cotranslational and Post-translational Tranlocational?

A

Co translational translocation - transcription is haulted using SRP and ribosome binds to ER membrane and resumes trancription

Postranslation occurs after translation

20
Q

What is the ER single sequence?

A

vary in AA

have 8 or non polar amino acids

ER singla sequence is guided by

  1. Signal recongition particle SRP
  2. SRP receptor
21
Q

How is the protein directed Ribosomes to ER membrane for cotranslational tranport ?

A
22
Q

What is the structure of the ER translocator

A

Translocator present in the ER membrane

Water filled pore

core is made of sec 61 complex

pore gated by short helix which opens and closes pore when needed

23
Q
A
24
Q

What is the structure of the SRP molecule?

A

made of different poly peptides plus a small RNA molecule

large hydrophobic pockey lined with methonies

cyles b.w the ER membrane and cytosl and binds to the ER signal sequence

Pocket can accommodate hydrophobic signal sequences of different size, shape, and sequence

25
Q

What is vesicular transport?

A

transpot of cargo via transport vesicles that bud of from primary compartment and fuse witht he next one?

different shapes and sizes: small spherical and large irregular or tublar

DIRECTIONAL!!!!!

26
Q

What are the three types vesicular transport ?

A

Biosynthetic secretory - > COPII

Endocytic pathway -> Clathrin

Retrieval Pathway -> COPI

27
Q

What are clathrin coated vesicles?

A

3 large and 3 small polypeptide chains; three legged structured = triskelion

triskelions assemble into a basket like structure

binds to adapter proteins to form a second layer between the cage and the membrane

trap various transmembrane proteines including receptors that capture soluble cargo inside vesicles

MEDIATE TRANSPORT FROM THE GOLGI APPARATUS AND THE PLASMA MEMBRANE

28
Q

How is clathrin dissasembled and reassembled?

A

curvature is indued -> coated buds -> adaptor proteions bidn to clathrin and cargo receptors -> selective recrutiment of cargo molecules -> clathrin coat is lost after vesicle formation

29
Q

What pinches the clathrin bud to form vesicle?

A

Dynamin
