16
Q
  • integral membrane protein in SEC pathway
  • generates a gated pore (the channel)
  • made up of many alpha helices
  • essential
A

SecYEG

17
Q
  • involved in the sorting and recognition of the signal peptide in the SEC pathway (binds preprotein)
  • provides the energy for translocation (ATPase) (along with Ftsy)
  • can act as a chaperone to stabilize the unfolded protein in the cytoplasm
  • essential
A

SecA

18
Q
  • protein being secreted in SEC pathway
  • has signal sequence
  • unfolded
A

Preprotein

19
Q
  • GTPase provides the energy
  • ribosome localizes to the membrane
  • sorting and targeting (1) –> translocation (2) –> maturation (3)
  • signal peptidase cleaves protein so folding can occur
A

Co-translational Sec Pathway

20
Q
  • maintain proteins in an unfolded state
  • bind the signal peptide in the cytosol or ribosome
  • bind SecA
A

Function of chaperones

21
Q
  • plug in place when these two proteins are not interacting

- plug opens when they interact

A

SecYEG-SecA complex

22
Q
  • non-essential for SEC translocation but improves efficiency
  • may help release the signal sequence from the SecYEG channel
  • may help formation of SecYEG
A

SecDF-YajC

23
Q

negatively charged glutamic acid group interacts with positive charge, pulling the protein through (uses ATP)

A

PMF electrophoresis

24
Q

Lysine is negatively charged at the base and becomes positively charged with the addition of a hydrogen (cannot go back through the channel) – uses ATP

A

PMF proton ratchet

25
Q
  • less common translocation system
  • translocates folded proteins
  • requires a signal sequence
  • not essential but can affect proper cell function
  • ATP independent (only driven by PMF)
A

Twin Arginine Translocation (TAT) System

26
Q
  • forms pore structure through which proteins move
  • interacts with the signal peptide and folded protein
  • serves as the initial docking site of the signal peptide
A

Functions of TAT A, TAT B, and TAT C

27
Q

Only certain cofactors are found inside the cell

A

Why do proteins fold inside the cell?

28
Q
  • Signal Peptidase I cleaves signal peptide

- Signal Peptidase II cleaves signal peptide from pre-lipoproteins

A

What happens after translocation?

29
Q
  • charged n region with Arg/Lys, binds to heads of phospholipids
  • hydrophobic h region that associates with acyl chains of phospholipids
  • c region (BXZ) where b and z are small amino acids
A

Standard signal peptide components

30
Q
  • n region
  • h region
  • c region (cleavage domain) “BXZ” where B is large hydrophobic and cysteine is +1
A

Lipoprotein signal peptide components

31
Q
  • 1st is diacylation

- 2nd is acylation

A

steps for the addition of groups to cysteine

32

  • twin arginine RR

- longer and less hydrophobic than Sec signal sequence
