Unit 5 Flashcards

Endomembrane system
Membrane limited compartments involved in processing and movement of proteins
All proteins are processed after they are translated (T or F)
True
Folding make proteins
Functional
Modifications of proteins regulates their
Activity, interactions, and stability
Cleavage of proteins can
Activate or inactivate proteins
Without modifications GFP would be primarily found in the
Cytoplasm
For GFP to be found in the ER it would have to contain
An ER targeting signal that directs it to the ER during translation
Requirements for protein import into an organelle
A specific sequence found in primary sequence, and a specific protein receptor on organelle of interest
Site of secretory protein synthesis
RER
Site of lipid and sterol synthesis
Smooth ER
What type of proteins would you expect to be sent to the ER
Soluble proteins for secretion, resident proteins of ER, membrane proteins inserted as they are synthesized
When is the signal for entry into the ER (before or after translation is complete)
Before protein is fully translated
Retention signal for ER proteins
KDEL
How do membrane bound and free ribosomes differ
Only difference is the proteins that they are making at a particular time
How do ribosomes become membrane bound
Ribosomes that are synthesizing proteins with signal sequences to be incorporated in ER membrane will be bound
Co translational modifications occurs
Occur while the protein is still being synthesized by the ribosome. Happens in rough ER and cytoplasm
Examples of proteins that undergo co translational modifications
Secrete proteins, membrane proteins, lysosomal enzymes
Post translational modifications
Occur after the protein has been fully synthesized and released from the ribosome
Examples of proteins that undergo post translational modifications
Cytoplasmic proteins, nuclear encoded proteins, mitochondrial proteins, chloroplast proteins
What two things direct ribosomes to er memebrane
ER signal sequence, signal recognition particle (srp)
Summary of co translation across er membrane
SRP will bind to exposed n terminal sequence and ribosome
Translation is paused
Protein translocation change assembles and inserts the polypeptide chain into membrane and starts to transfer across bilayer
Is the ER signal sequence hydrophobic or hydrophilic
Hydrophobic
Internal start transfer sequence characteristics
Initiates transfer of protein across er membrane
Is a membrane crossing domain
Not cleaved off
What cleaves n terminal signal sequence
Signal peptidase
