Q

what are the stages of protein synthesis

A
  1. begins when a gene on DNA produces mRNA
  2. the mRNA leaves via nuclear pore and attaches to a ribosome in the cytoplasm or on RER
  3. when proteins are produced via transcription and translation they are released into the cytoplasm
  4. protein is threaded into the tubes of the ER where it starts to fold into 3D shape
  5. the proteins are modified here and bud off in a transport vesicle
  6. the transport vesicle moves the protein to the golgi apparatus on the receiving face of the golgi
  7. in the cisternae of the golgi modification and packing occurs and moves towards the shipping face
  8. on the shipping face side - one type can become a lysosome and contain digestive enzymes
  9. transport of the vesicle and fuses with the membrane and exocytosis of the protein occurs

Q

what are the stages of translocation of proteins to the ER of CO translational translocation

A
  1. the protein has sequence a N terminus which is called the signal peptide- this is identified
  2. the peptide is inserted into a translocation channel in the ER membrane and the process continues and the protein is translocated into the ER

21
Q

what forms after local secondary structures

A

longer range interactions

22
Q

what problems can you encounter if you have a point mutation

A

will change the primary structure—-> then the secondary and result in the misfolded protein—-> this can result in the protein aggregating and fibres accumulating in the ER—-> leading to ER stress and then disease eg Alzheimers

23
Q

what can happen in the ER when a protein is misfolded

A

protein aggregation,

inclusion bodies and fibres accumulate in the ER

24
Q

what can happen if we have a protein with a neutral charge that undergoes a point mutation and becomes charged

A

the protein will have a charge and form interactions leading to irreversible protein damage by protein misfolding

25
Q

what protein accumulates in the brain in Alzheimers

A

TAU protein accumulates and creates plaques which cause lesions

26
Q

what is another way you can get ER stress

A

the 3D structure forms correctly and gets additional groups added eg phosphate group which is added in the wrong place adds a NEGATIVE charge which leads to different structure

27
Q

what is additional phosphate groups being added to proteins called

A

hyperphosphorylation

28
Q

what percentage of proteins misfold or are incorrectly processed under normal circumstances

A

10-30%

29
Q

Why don’t we constantly get ER stress and proteopathic disease

A

Cells employ quality control mechanisms to identify faulty proteins and take steps to relieve the ER stress – the so called “unfolded protein response” (UPR)

30
Q

why might some misfolded proteins still be present

A

as the quality controlled mechanisms can miss things or become overwhelmed

31
Q

what are the steps of the unfolded protein response

A
  1. in the ER newly synthesised proteins must be correctly folded so they can function or be transported
  2. proteins that have failed to correctly fold are initially retained in the ER BY BINDING TO CHAPERONE PROTEINS
  3. the chaperones prevent aggregation of misfolded proteins or unfolded and help steer them to be folded correctly
  4. if proteins fail to be correctly folded they are transported by chaperones and other molecules to transporters which allow them to pass into the cytosol and eventually degrade
  5. if the ER capacity to fold or degrade is overwhelmed misfolded proteins accumulate in there lumen and this triggers the UPR which activates genes which increase the folding capacity of the ER and can inhibit protein synthesis
  6. the UPR has three pathways- IRE1, PERK,ATF6
32
Q

what is the IRE1

A

IRE1- transmembrane protein kinase

33
Q

what is the pathway of IRE1

A

1.misfolded proteins in the ER lumen trigger IRE1 to oligermerise and the adjacent kinase domains on another IRE1 phosphorylase the RNase is activated.
2.it can now cleave specifics cytosolic pre mRNA molecule at two points releasing the intron
3. Exons joined by RNA ligase
4. the spliced MRNA is translated into an activate transcription regulatory protein 1
5. enters the nucleus
and activates target genes which expand the ER, increase protein folding capacity, enhance degradation of misfolded proteins

34
Q

what domains does IRE1 have

A

two catalytic domains on its cytosolic side with a kinase domain and ribonuclease domain

35
Q

what is PERK activated by

A

accumulation of misfolded proteins

36
Q

what are the three UPR PATHWAYS

A

IRE1
PERK
ATF6

37
Q

what is PERK

A

A transmembrane protein kinase

38
Q

what are the stages of the UPR regarding PERK

A
  1. upon activation the PERK phosphorylates ITSELF
  2. then phosphorylates a translation initiation factor which INACTIVATING IT
  3. two consequences: inhibits overall protein synthesis, decreases the load of protein folding. increases the production of transcription regulator protein 2
  4. in the nucleus, the transcription regulator protein activates target genes
39
Q

what is ATF6

A

contains a transcription regulator which will be transported to the nucleus

40
Q

what is the pathway for ATF6

A
  1. accumulation of misfolded proteins triggers ATF6 to be transported from the ER lumen to the golgi apparatus
  2. In the golgi membrane, ATF6 encounters proteases which cleaves of cytosolic domain which allows an active and free transcription regulatory protein 3
  3. migrates into the nucleus and helps with transcription of target genes
41
Q

does the UPR differ in different cell types

A

yes it allows cells to tailor the UPR to the requirements of different cell types

42
Q

what is BIP

A

a chaperone which stands for binding immunoglobulin protein

43
Q

describe BIP

A

HSP70 molecular chaperone

44
Q

what does BIP control

A

transmembrane sensors

45
Q

what is BIP also known as

A

GRP78

46
Q

what are factors that are pro survival

A

ERAD
BIP
activation of genes to increase protein folding capacity
chaperones

47
Q

what is against cell survival

A

APOPTOSIS

48
Q

what does the UPR ACT AS

A

a binary switch between cell survival or cell apoptosis when ER stress is present

49
Q

what does mild stress or short term stress induce

A

a regulated UPR in which survival effectors outweigh death leading to survival of the cell

50
Q

what does long term stress lead to

A

the UPR becoming hyperactive and then leading to apoptosis and disease
