Protein Trafficking Flashcards
1
Q
Free ribosomes synthesize
A
- peripheral membrane proteins
- cytosolic proteins
- some proteins destined for nucleus, mitochondria & peroxisomes
2
Q
RER synthesize
A
- membrane bound proteins & secretory proteins
- proteins in lysosomes, golgi & nuclear membrane
3
Q
formation of RER
Signal sequence
A
First 20-30 amino acids which tell the ribosome to attach to the endoplasmic reticulum
4
Q
formation of RER
Signal recognition particle (SRP)
A
Binds to the signal & the ribosome, then binds to the SRP receptor in the ER
5
Q
formation of RER
SRP receptor
A
- Located in the ER
- allows protein to be inserted into lumen of ER creating RER
