Exam 5 Flashcards
(216 cards)
tertiary protein structure
formation of domains
when does protein folding assistance beginning
as soon as peptide emerges
denturants
detergents (SDS), chaotropic slats (NaSCN, NaClO4), high temp, Urea, guanidine HCl
Anfinsen’s experiment
reduce (BME) then denature (8M Urea) RNaseA (4 S-S). dialysis (remove urea). Oxidize back to S-S. All correct S-S. Swap dialysis and oxidation steps. Random S-S.
lead to protein aggregation (3)
hydrophobic region exposed. Very high concentration. hydrophobic regions of monomers binding one another.
Alzheimers protein folding
alphabeta protein Beta sheets adhere and form long fibrils
e. coli chaperone
DnaK (Hsp70 analog), GroES-GroEL (Hsp 60)
eukaryote chaperone
Hsp 70, Hsp90
Hsp70 function
bind hydrophobic regions. uses ATP to prevent misfolding. allows time for productive folding
nascent protein 1st met by ? as it leaves ribosome. name pro and euk. Transfers to Hsp70 if needed.
TF (pro) , NAC (euk)
three protein folding pathways
chaperone independent. Hsp70 assisted. Hsp70 + chaperonin
Dnak (Hsp70 homolog) regions
N t-term ATP binding. C-term peptide binding
Hsp70 (DnaK) mechanism
DnaJ delivers unfolded or partially folded peptide to DnaK-ATP. Hydrolysis of ATP prevents RAPID folding. GrpE replaces ADP with ATP and partially folded peptide dissociates. Peptide may finish folding independently OR require another cycle OR require GroEL (chaperonin)
GroEL structure/function
aka Anfinsens cage. hydrophobic inner regions interact with substrate. Recruits GroES cap. 7 ATP binding sites in central and lower GroEL cavity
GroEl-GroES mechanism
peptide binds hydrophobic region in GroES central cavity. 7 ATP and GroES cap bind GroEL central cavity. ATP hydrolzyed over 15 seconds. 7 more ATP bind lower GroEL cavity. ADP and GroES dissociate. folded peptide dissociates.
proteins are delivered to cellular compartments by ?
translocation
characteristics of translocated prokarotic proteins
preproteins with N-terminal leader sequence
eukaryote synthesis of secretory and membrane proteins coupled to translocation across ?
ER membrane
participate in secretory protein translocation
SRP (signal recognition particles), SR (signal receptors), and translocons
modifies and sorts secretory and membrane proteins
golgi
golgi function for secretory and membrane proteins
modifies and sorts
prokaryote N-term leader sequence characteristics
total about 26 residues. far N-term (basic residues), central N-term (hydrophobic), C-term of N-term (nonhelical). Also a cleavage site
Unique roll of Hsp90
functions on regulated “client proteins” to function. (ie. tyrosine kinases, telomerases) Assists binding. uses ATP
SecB mediated transloaction
SecB binds protein to be translocated. binds SecA/SecYEG on membrane. ATP binds and SecB dissociates. ATP hydrolysis drives protein threading through membrane
