25
What happens to the ER when cells are disrupted?
the ER breaks up into microsomes (small vesicles)
26
About how long are signal sequences?
20 amino acids
27
Signal sequences include a stretch of what?
hydrophobic residues
28
Where are the hydrophobic residues usually located in signal sequences?
at the N-terminus
29
What do SRPs consist of?
6 polypeptides + a small cytoplasmic RNA (SRP RNA)
30
What is a complex of 3 transmembrane proteins called?
Sec61 proteins
31
What do Sec61 proteins do?
translocate secreted polypeptides in bacteria
32
Which type of translocation is more common in yeast?
posttranslational
33
What is the function of Hsp70 and Hsp40 chaperones ?
keep the peptide chains from folding so they can enter the translocon
34
What is the Hsp70 chaperone that acts as a ratchet to pull the polypeptide chain through the channel into the ER
BiP (binding protein)
35
What does BiP bind to?
hydrophobic regions
36
Proteins destined for incorporation into membranes are initially inserted where?
ER membrane
37
Membrane-spanning regions of integral regions of integral membrane proteins typically have __________ regions with _______ amino acids.
α helical regions with hydrophobic amino acids
38
The ER lumen is topologically equivalents to what?
cell exterior
39
Domains of membrane proteins that are exposed on the cell surface correspond to what?
regions of polypeptide chains that are translocated into the ER lumen
40
How are many proteins directly inserted into the ER membrane?
internal transmembrane sequences
41
What are the internal transmembrane sequences recognized by?
SRP (but not cleaved by it)
42
Transmembrane α helices exit the translocon laterally and do what?
anchor proteins in the ER membrane
43
What direction are the polypeptides oriented across the ER membrane (N and C terminus)?
either direction
44
What does the Transmembrane α helix do?
Halts translocation and anchors the polypeptide in the membrane
45
Where is the transmembrane α helix located in the protein?
middle
46
Where does the carboxy terminal portion of polypeptide remain? (ER lumen or cytosol)
cytosol
47
What does the signal peptidase do?
cut the signal sequence from the primary polypeptide
48
Proteins that span the membrane multiple times are inserted by what?
an alternating series of internal signal sequences and transmembrane stop-transfer sequences (N terminus is in cytosol)
49
Some proteins have a transmembrane sequence at the carboxy terminus that cannot what?
cannot be recognized by SRP until translation is complete
50
What is the transmembrane sequence recognized by (when it is at the carboxy terminus)?
targeting factor TRC40
51
What does the targeting factor TRC40 specifically do?
brings the protein to a GET1-GET2 receptor in the ER membrane
52
Where does protein folding and processing occur (2 places)?
either during translocation across the ER membrane or in the ER lumen
53
what is the primary role of lumen proteins?
assist folding and assembly of newly translocated peptides
54
Hsp70 chaperone BiP helps proteins do what?
not fold
55
Hsp70 chaperone BiP binds to what as they cross the ER membrane?
unfolded polypeptides
56
Why is BiP not needed for cotranslational translocation in the ER?
the polypeptide is pushed through the translocator by the energy of the ribosome
57
What type of bonds are important in protein folding?
disulfide bonds
58
What type of environment is the cytosol?
reducing
59
Most cystine residues in the cytosol are in the _____ state.
reduced (-SH)
60
What type of environment is the ER?
oxidizing
61
What part of the cell promotes disulfide (S-S) bond formation?
ER
62
What facilitates the disulfide bond formation?
protein disulfide isomerase
