Post-Translational Modification Flashcards
Produces different combinations of subunits from the original polypeptide chain
Proteolytic cleavage
Ribozyme which catalyzes peptide bonds and addition of amino acid residues to the growing polypeptide chain
Peptidyltransferase
T/F: proteins processed in the cytoplasm are needed inside the cell, whereas those processed in the RER are exported via the Golgi apparatus
TRUE
Allows polypeptide chain to move to the golgi apparatus for packaging; removes signal recognition particles and ribosomal complex
Signal peptidases
Carrier protein that binds to ribosomal complex
Signal recognition particle (SRP)
Pathway wherein elongation and termination phases are in the ER
Secretory pathway
Carbohydrate chains attached to amide nitrogen of aparagine or hydroxyl groups of serine, threonine, or hydroxylysine
Glycosylation
Distinguish phagocytosis from receptor-mediated endocytosis
Phagocytosis: actin microfilaments
Receptor-mediated endocytosis: clathrin-adaptin
Tags substances for lysosomal degradation
Mannose-6-phosphate
Tags aberrent proteins for proteasomes
Ubiquitin
Mutation resulting in unchanged amino acid
Silent mutation
Mutation wherein one amino acid is changed into another amino acid
Missense mutation
Mutation wherein a stop codon is produced, resulting in premature termination
Nonsense mutation
Error in reading frame due to insertion or deletion of nucleotides
Frameshift mutation
