Protein Transport (Lecture 12) Flashcards
______ is where most phospholipids are synthesized.
SER (smooth endoplasmic reticulum)
______ is where most membrane proteins are assemble.
RER (rough endoplasmic reticulum)
Translocation through the translocon is driven by ______.
Translation elongation
How does cotranslational translocation work?
Signal sequence of protein (NH3+) recruits a signal recognition particle (SRP)
SRP binds to the signal sequence arresting translation
SRP binds to a SRP receptor in the ER membrane
SRP is released and translocon opens, translation resumes
Signal peptidase cleaves signal sequence
Translation then continues until protein complete inside ER
Mammalian translocon consists of three proteins, collectively called
the ______ and n bacteria & archaea this is called ______
Sec61 complex, SecYEG
Sec61 i made up of ______, an integral membrane protein with ______ membrane-spanning α helices and two smaller proteins, termed ______ and ______.
Sec61α, 10
Sec61β, Sec61γ
What are the two reasons that other molecules don’t leak through the translocons?
Hydrophobic hour glass-shaped channel has a helical plug that seals the translocon in absence of protein cargo
Ring of hydrophobic Ile
residues at constriction of pore form a gasket, preventing passage of polar molecules
What is the purpose of the lateral exit in the translocon?
Allows a nascent protein hydrophobic transmembrane domain out of translocon and into the ER membrane lipid bilayer
The ______ recognizes a sequence on the C-terminal end of the hydrophobic core of the signal peptide and cleaves the chain specifically at this sequence once it has emerged into the luminal space of the ER.
Signal peptidase
True or False: In most eukaryotes, most secretory proteins enter the ER by cotranslational translocation
True
In yeast, some secretory proteins enter ER only ______ translation is complete.
After
______ tetrameric complex in ER membrane near translocon in post translational translocation.
Sec63
True or False: SRP and SRP receptor not involved in post-translational translocation.
True
Molecular chaperone ______ is in ER lumen and has a peptide-binding domain and a ATPase domain
BiP
______ is required for BiP to function.
ATP hydrolysis
True or False: Successive BiP binding acts as ‘ratchet’ to pull protein into ER.
True
Post-translocation is common for translocation into organelles like ______ & ______.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts
______ membrane proteins contain one or more hydrophobic membrane-spanning domains
Intergral
______ proteins have a polypeptide covalently to one or more lipid molecules.
Lipid-anchored
