Unit 6 Flashcards
1
Q
Hsc70
A
- Keep mitochondrial import precursor proteins in an unfolded state
- Cytosolic chaperone
- Requires energy in the form of ATP
- Binds to TIM44
- ATP hydrolysis by this complex helps power translocation of the protein in the matrix
2
Q
TOM20 / TOM22
A
- Receptor in outer mitochondrial membrane
- Interacts with matrix-targeting sequence in protein
- Transfers protein to general import pore of outer membrane
3
Q
TOM40
A
- Composes general import pore of outer mitochondrial membrane
4
Q
TIM23 & TIM17
A
- Compose import pore of inner membrane
- Proteins pass through this import pore at contact sites between inner & outer membrane
5
Q
TIM44
A
- Binds to Hsc70
- ATP hydrolysis by this complex helps power translocation of the protein in the matrix
6
Q
Membrane-bound ribosomes
A
- Attached to cytosolic surface of ER membrane & are synthesizing proteins that are translocated into the ER
7
Q
Free ribosomes
A
- Unattached to any membrane & are synthesizing all of the other proteins
8
Q
SRP
A
- Signal recognition particle
- Cytosolic side of ER cytoplasm
- Composed of 6 proteins & an associated RNA molecule
- Engages emerging polypeptide that has its ER signal sequence exposed
- Binding halts translocation & delivers ribosome / polypeptide to ER
9
Q
SRP receptor
A
- ER membrane (Cytosolic surface)
- Ribosome / polypeptide delivered here by SRP
- This interaction is enhanced by binding of GTP to both SRP & its receptor
10
Q
Translocon
A
- ER membrane
- Ribosome / polypeptide delivered here during ER import
- This induces it to open & receive a polypeptide (enters as a loop)
- Hydrolysis of GTP by SRP & its receptor free these for another round of import
- Translocation resumes
11
Q
Signal peptidase
A
- ER membrane
- Protease
- Cleaves signal sequence of protein allowing rest of protein to synthesize into ER lumen
12
Q
Type I membrane-anchored protein
A
- Single-pass
- Cleaved signal sequence at N-terminus
- Uses SRP-SRP receptor to get to ER membrane
- N(out)-C(in)
13
Q
Type II membrane-anchored protein
A
- Single-pass
- No cleavable signal sequence
- Uses SRP-SRP receptor to get to ER membrane
- N(out)-C(in)
14
Q
Type III membrane-anchored protein
A
- Single-pass
- No cleavable signal sequence
- Uses SRP-SRP receptor to get to ER membrane
N(in)-C(out)
15
Q
Tail-anchored membrane-anchored protein
A
- Signal-pass
- No cleavable signal sequence
- Hydrophobic membrane-spanning sequence at C-terminus
- Does not use SRP-SRP receptor, but the GET 1/2/3 system to get to ER
- Post translational insertion
- N(in)-C(out)
