lecture 9 ( Intracellular Compartments and Protein Transport) Flashcards
which types of protein needs to enter through the ER first?
1) golgi apparatus protein
2) endosomes
3) lysosomes
4) to the surface of the cell
5) outside the cell
The 2 types of protein transferred to the ER:
- water soluble protein (crosses the membrane completely)
- prospective transmembrane protein (embedded)
what is the ER signal sequence?
its a segment of 8 or more hydrophobic amino acid
what affect does the SRP binding to ribosome carrying the protein have on protein synthesis?
it slows the protein synthesis until the SRP receptor engages
what is the two types of polyribosomes?
- polyribosomes free in cytosol (free ribosomes)
- polyribosomes bound to ER (membrane bound ribosome)
what causes the transmembrane protein to be embedded in the ER membrane?
the hydrophobic stop signal sequence remins uncleaved therefore the protein is embedded.
what removes the start transfer sequnce after protein is synthesized in the ER?
signal peptidase
what is the 2 functions for the ER signal sequnce ?
1) directing protein to the ER
2) opens the gate of the channel of the translocator
There are two types of Transmembrane Protein:
1) Single Pass Transmembrane Protein
2) Multi Pass Transmembrane Protein
What is the function of the SRP receptor?
releases the SRP and passes the protein to the Translocator.
what causes the transmembrane protein to be thredded across the ER membrane?
the multiple start and stop hydrophobic signles allows the continuation of protein synthesis without drafting away from the lipid bilayer and without removing the start signle sequnce.
True or False: the free polyribosomes is the ribosomes on the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
False, the membrane bound polyribosomes
The movement of secretory pathway:
ER -> Golgi appartus -> Cell surface
The movement of Endocytic Pathway:
molecules from the plasma membrane -> endosomes -> lysosmes
what is the endocytic pathway responsible for?
responsible for the degradation of extracellular molecules
