Q

What are the three topological componets and what characteristic do they have in common?

A
  1. Nucleus and cytosol (communcate through Nuclear pore complex)
  2. Organelles in secretory and endocytic pathways (ER, golgi appartatus, endosomes, and lysomes) (communicate with each other through vesicles)
  3. mitochondria

They all heavily communicate withing there own compartments

Membrane enclosed transport intermediates move proteins b/w various compartments via vesicles

occurs b.w

  • golgi and late endosome
  • golgi and early endosome
  • Golgi and Cell exterior
  • Golgi and secretory vesciles
  • late endosome and lysosome
  • Late endosome and early endosome
  • Early endosome and cell exterior
  • secretory vesciles and cell exterior

Q

What are sorting signals?

A

guide protein transfer / transport proteins to various compartments

  • AA sequence around 15 -60
  • Localized in N & C terminus or w/in the protein seq.

Are necessary and suffiecent for protein targeting

signals recongized by complementary receptors

Q

What are signal patches and when does they communicate

A

Multiple catter sequences in the protein that are sorting signals

once 3D folding is completed they are more related to each other

Q

What are signal peptidases?

A

May remove signal after protein reaches final destination

17
Q

What are the four different types of signal sequences?

A
  1. import into nucleus
    1. postivily charged
    2. lysine (K) /Argine (R) rich sequence thats in no particular order
  2. import into mitochondria
    1. Combination of postive and hydrophobic induces coil shap that facilitates binding to mitochondria
  3. import into er
    1. hydrophobic AA is signal
  4. return to ER
    1. KDEL (lysine - Aspartic acid - glutamic acid - leucine )
18
Q

What are the characteristics of nuclear transport?

A

Gated, bidriectional, selective

  • proteins needed in nucleus imported from cytosol
    • (histones, DNA, Rna poly topoismerase, gene regulation proteins )
  • tRNA and mRNA synthesized in the nucleus are exported out to sytosol
19
Q

What are nuclear pore compexes (NPC)

A
  • 30 different proteins or nucleoporins
  • octagonal symmetry w/ 1 or more aquaporins
  • transport bidirectionally
  • Transport faciliated by binding of particles to fibril
  • passive diffusion of small molecules and faciliated transport
  • Size of macromolecules that enter nucleus by active transport

CONTAIN FG (PHENYLALANINE GLYCINE ) REPEATS which are BINDING SITES FOR NIRS on FIBRILS

Cargo is released in nucleus and NIR returns to cytoplasm

20
Q

What are Nuclear localization signals ?

A
  • NLS direct molecules to nucleus
  • short sequecnes rich in lysine and argenine (remember import to nucleus )
  • selective import of proteins to nucleus
  • many different sites on proteins in fhte form of loops and patches
21
Q

What are NIR (nuclear Import Receptors) ?

A
  • recongizes NLS (specfic)
  • Soluble cytsolic proteins
  • Bind to NLS on protein
  • NPC proteins present on fibrils

Recpetrors can binds dissociate, and rebind to adjacent FG repeats

cargo is released in the nucleus and NIRS return to Cytosol

22
Q

What are is an adapter protein and how does it work?

A
  • It is a nuclear import receptor.
  • Has two types of binding
  • direct binding and indirect binding via adapter protein
  • Recongizes NLS
  • Occurs in Cytosol
23
Q

What is nuclear export?

A

Works in oppostie direction but in similar pattern

relies on NES on exported molecules but must a have complementary NER

Bind to NPC and cargo presnt in Nucleus

binding, dissociation, and rebinding,

cargo released in cytoplasm.

24
Q

how does ran GTP and ran GDP work

A

Concept: Gradient of RAN confirmaton drives nuclear transport

Simple

Import receptor and cargo enter nucleus via FG sites on fribrils of NPC proteins

RAN GTP binds to compex of import receptor and cargo

Binding causes release of cargo

RAN-GTP and import receptor leave nucleus

In Cytoplasm RAN GTP is hydrolzed to Ran GDP

Receptor is released from RAN GDP in cytoplasm and is reader for another cycle

25
Q

What are shuttling proteins ?

A

Proteins that contain both NLS and NES

Shuttle b/w cytosol and Nucleus

Steady state localization depends on relative rate of transport

If import > Export then transport is nuclear

26
Q

How does transport and gene regulatory proten relate?

A

Transport stringently controlled

kept out of nucleous until needed

transport controlled by NLS and NES being turned on or off

Mechanism include phosphorylation, proteolysis, binding to inhibitory proteins

27
Q

What does SREBP and SCAP do?

A

RELATED TO CHOLESTEROL regulation

SREBP - is a sterol response element binding proteiin. Once its cleaved by protease will leave ER and enter nucleaus to promote creation of STEROID

SCAP - SREBP cleavage activation protein ( Cholesterol binds to and inhbits recruitment of proteases for cleavage)
