Sorting, the RER, and the Golgi Flashcards
Signal peptides
N-terminal extensions composed of 5-30 basic/hydrophobic AA
Signal patches
Distant parts of protein sequence brought together upon folding
Types of translocation
Post-translationally (C)
Co-translationally (N)
Post-translational translocation characteristics
SOluble and posses patch or signal peptide
Sorting into the nucleus
Uses NLS (short, basic squences on N-terminus of proteins) Importin comes in with protein, uses Ran-GTP to get out
Sorting into mitochondria process
Precursors protein with MTS…binds receptor…moves to protein translocator…pulled into protein and signal sequence cleaved by peptidase
Sorting into mitochondrial membrane
Matrix targeting sequence binds TOM protein of outer…pulls through into TIM…TIM recognizes the intermembrane space-targeting sequence and diffuses over to protease…protease will cleave the matrix targeting sequence and the intermembrane space targeting seqence stays in inner membrane
Intermembrane space sorting
Intermembrane space targeting sequences pass through Tom receptor
Outer membrane mitochondrial proteins sorting
Hydrophobic transmembrane signal…recognized by TOM, passed to SAM, mim and mdm act and released into membrane
Peroxisomes sorting process
C-terminal and N-terminal ends…peroxisomal targeting sequence binds pex5 receptor…receptor binds pex14 receptor on membrane…moves through via pex 10 and 12
Co-translational translocation
Used for proteins that are secreted, membrane bound, resident in ER, golgi, or lysosomes
Signal for co-translational translocation
N-terminal signal of hydrophobic residues
Process of co-translational location
SRP binds to N terminal signal sequence…SRP binds to SRP receptor on ER membrane surface associated with translocon…GTPase activity of both SRP and SRP receptor results in opening of the translocon…signal peptidase claves the signal sequence
What is attached into the ER
N-linked glycosylation
Linked to asparagine - X - serine/threonine
What is in the ER membrane that holds the glycosylation chain?
Dolichol
