Sorting 1 Flashcards
Proteins that get secreted have a secretion signal that is located at what ?
The N-termini
What do we do as soon as protein starts to emerge and then where does it go ?
We stop making proteins and then everything will go to the ER if it contains a secretion signal
What is the secretion signal that has emerged from a ribosome bound by ?
SRP
What is the first job of SRP is responsible for ?
Halting translation
What is the second job that SRP is responsible for ?
It binds to the SRP receptor
What is a translocon ?
A channel in the ER membrane
Where does the secretion signal sequence always get stuck ?
The translocon
Where does translation drive a polypeptide that has a secretion signal sequence to go ?
Drive it to go to the ER lumen (Through the translocon)
Where is the signal peptidase anchored ?
The translocon
The secretion signal sequence that is anchored in the translocon is cleaved by what ?
Cleaved by Signal peptidase
Where is the protein released after is has been cleaved by the signal peptidase ?
The ER Lumen
Why do we call a protein a Transmembrane Protein ?
Transmembrane proteins cross the membrane
Where does a stop transfer sequence always get stuck ?
In the translocon
What does the Stop Transfer Sequence do ?
As the name suggests, it stops proteins through the translocon (cannot be cleaved)
What is a Multi Pass transmembrane protein ?
A protein that goes through the membrane a multiple number of times
What must happen to proteins in order for them to do their job correctly ?
They must be folded correctly
Are proteins in the translocon folded or are they in the form of a line ?
Form of a line
Is the ER lumen the same as the cytoplasm or is it different ?
It is different because there can be different environments
What does the ER have that helps proteins fold correctly ?
The ER has specific enzymes that help folding which are called chaperone
What type of environment does the ER have ?
It has an oxidizing environment
What type of environment does cytoplasm have ?
A reducing environment
What are disulfide bonds ?
Bonds that are between sulfurs
