Protein trafficking Flashcards
how do proteins get to a location?
sorting signal
if no sorting signal then stays in cytosol
how do proteins get to a location?
sorting signal
if no sorting signal then stays in cytosol
types of sorting signal?
patch- AAs make patch in 3d form
sequence- AAs at the end of a chain
what type of sequence codes for nuclear import?
K/R rich
what type of sequence codes for mitochondrial import
Amphipathic/ alpha helix
what type of sequence codes for ER import
hydrophobic AAs
what size protein can fit through the nuclear pore
where can a signalling sequence be recognised
membrane bound receptor or soluble receptor
where do proteins get synthesised
in cytosol ( ribosomes)
how do proteins know to go to the nucleus
nuclear localisation signal
what makes up the nuclear pore complex
nucleoporin proteins in a basket arrangement
what size proteins can fit through the nuclear pore?
50kD or 5kD ask someone
what are the nuclear import receptors
importin part of karyopherin family
what is ran GTP
small GTP binding protein
what is ran GTP
smole GTP binding protein
what does exportin recognise on the inner membrane?
L rich domain
what does exportin recognise on the inner membrane?
L rich domain
types of sorting signal?
patch- AAs make patch in 3d form
sequence- AAs at the end of a chain
what type of sequence codes for nuclear import?
K/R rich
what type of sequence codes for mitochondrial import
Amphipathic/ alpha helix
explain protein import to the mitochondria
ATPase Hsp70 in cytosol binds to protein being transported to stop folding proteins signal sequence binds to TOM (Translocon of the Outer Membrane)
protein goes through TOM then TIM (Translocon of the Inner Membrane)
in TIM localisation sequence cleaved by protease, mt Hsp70 binds
Hsp60 also binds helps translocation
when is the only time a chemical gradient is needed for protein trafficking
across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
where can a signalling sequence be recognised
membrane bound receptor or soluble receptor
where do proteins get synthesised
in cytosol ( ribosomes)
how do proteins know to go to the nucleus

what size proteins can fit through the nuclear pore?
50kD or 5kD ask someone
what are the nuclear import receptors
importin part of karyopherin family
how does the importin work
soluble receptor (importin) makes contact with F G (gphenylalanine glycine repeats) importin binds to the protein and takes it through nuclear pore complex importin and protein dissociat when inside the nucleus
what is ran GTP
smole GTP binding protein
