Final 2 Flashcards
Where do proteins without a sorting signal end up?
Stay in cytosol
Gated transport of the nucleus through what?
Nuclear pore complexes
3 types of intracellular transport
Gated, transmembrane, vesicular
2 types of sorting signals
Signal sequences, signal patches
How long are sorting signals?
15-60 continuous residues
How are signal sequences removed from a protein?
Signal pepidases
Proteins that make up a NPC
Nucleoporins
About how many NPCs does a mammalian cell contain?
3000-4000
True or false: nuclear proteins can be transported through a pore complex while folded
True
Binding sites for nuclear import receptors
F-G repeats
Provides energy for concentration of particular proteins on one side of the nuclear envelope
Ran
What kind of molecule is Ran
GTPase
Triggers hydrolysis of ATP, converting Ran-GTP to Ran-GDP in the cytosol
GAP (GTPase-activating protein)
Promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP, converting Ran-GDP to Ran-GTP
GEF (Guanine exchange factor)
Ran-____ is primarily in the cytosol; Ran-____ is primarily inside the nucleus
GDP, GTP
Where are mitochondrial signal sequences?
Amino-terminus
Completes mitchondrial import by repeated cycles of ATP hydrolysis
HSP70
Helps insert membrane proteins into outer membrane
TOM (translocase of outer membrane)
Spans both mitochondrial membranes and mediates translocation of proteins in to the matrix space
TIm23
Mediates the insertion of a subclass of inner membrane proteins
TIM22
Mediates the insertion of inner membrane proteins synthesized in the mitochondrial matrix
OXA complex
Keeps mitochondrial precursors in their unfolded confromation using ATP
HSP70
What acts as a stop-transfer sequences that prevents further translocation across IMM
Hydrophobic signal
True or false: all peroxisome proteins must be imported from the cytosol
True
House oxidative enzymes such as oxidases that produce peroxide
Peroxisomes
How are peroxisomes inolved in lipid metabolism?
Degrade fatty acids by beta oxidation
True or false: proteins imported into peroxisomes can be imported fully-folded
True
Proteins involved in the generation or maintenace of peroxisomes
Peroxins
helps insert and fold beta-barrels in the OMM
SAM
Protein that binds to emergent signal sequences, halts translation, and targets the complex to the ER
Signal recognition particle (SRP)
How are SRPs recognized on the ER membrane?
SRP receptor
Protein translocation channel of the ER
Sec61 complex
ER chaperone that binds and releases proteins to maintain directionality
BiP
Protease that removes signal sequences in the ER membrane
Signal peptidase
-COOH-terminus in the cytoplasm
Type I membrane protein
-NH3-terminus in the cytoplasm
Type II membrane protein
What protein charges typically remain in the cytosol?
Positive
An ER lumenal Hsp70 homolog that binds to unfolded proteins and prevents aggregation
BiP
Calcium-binding proteins that are lectins that bind to oligosaccharides on incompletely folded proteins and prevents aggregation
Calnexin, calreticulin
Enzyme that aids in folding by helping correct disulfide bond formation in newly synthesized proteins
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)
Covalent addition of sugars to proteins
Glycosylation
Attachment of sugar to the hydroxyl group of serine on threonine
O-linked glycosylation
