Lecture 12 Flashcards
cotranslational translocation
protein is being located into the ER while its being translated
SRP
signal recognition particle
BiP
chaperone that prevents polypeptide chain from slipping back out or premature folding
How does cell know where a certain protein goes?
information is encoded in the amino acid sequence
lipid-anchor proteins
not associated with plasma membrane, linked to a lipid that is associated with membrane
Type I single pass membrane protein
N-term in ER, has a stop anchor sequence and gets transferred into membrane, most of protein is in ER, signal sequence cleaved
Type II single pass membrane protein
C-term in ER, has Signal Anchor sequence, no cleavage
Type III single pass membrane protein
N-term in ER, has SA sequence, no cleavage
Tail anchored
C-term hydrophobic tail only in membrane, rest of protein in cytosol
Lipid anchor proteins
precursor protein gets transferred via GPI transmidase to GPI anchor
Protein modifications
mannose (carbohydrate), S-S rearrangement via PDI
Unfolded protein response
BiP holds unfolded protein = causes splicing and translation of transcription factors that activate chaperones to fold protein BiP is holding
Dislocation purpose
for proteins that have been unassembled or misfolded need to be removed
Disclocation process
clip off modifications and mark protein for degradation
