Cards

Term
Sorting signals
Definition
Direct proteins to various organelles
Term
Signal peptide can be ______ or ________
Definition
Signal peptides; either at an end (N usually) or internal and heirarchical

OR
Form a signal patch based on 3-D structure
Term
Return to ER signal
Definition
- K-D-E-L
- Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu
- Near Carboxy terminal
Term
Import to ER
Definition
- Long string of hydrophillic amino acids
Term
Functions of ER
Definition
1) Synth mem lipids for ER, Golgi, Lysosome, Plasma Mem, Mito, Peroxisome
2) Mem proteins of ER, Golgi, Lyso, PM
3) Synth resident prots of ER lumen, golgi, lyso
4) Secreted proteins delivered to ER lumen
Term
Function of SER in All cells
Definition
1) Membrane lipids; phospholipids, cholest, ceramide
2) Stores Ca
Term
Specialized functions of SER
(Ledying cells/Hepatocytes/Muscles)
Definition
1) Steroid hormones in ACortex, Leydig-Testes, Granulosa ov
2. Hepatocyte; detox lip sol drugs + inducible
3. Muscle; sequester Ca
Term
Ribosome cycle
(4 steps)
Definition
1) Synth protein eventually has ER signal sequence SRP
2) Signal recog protein (SRP recp) recogz and shuttles ribo to ER
3) Protein is translocated after ribo-srpr complex is docked then one transl resumes srpr is released and recycled
Term
Signal Peptidase
Definition
Cleaves peptide from signal sequence so protein is released into lumen
Term
Type 1
Definition
- Single pass
- Coo faces cytosol
- Stop transfer protein
Term
Type 2
Definition
- Single pass
- Amino faces cytosol
- signal anchor protein
Term
Type 3
Definition
- signal anchor protein
- transmembrane
- COO faces cytosol
Term
Type 4
Definition
- Multipass protein
examples;
- G-protein receptors
- Glucose transporters
Term
Co-translation modifications in RER
Definition
- N-linked glycol starts in RER
- Hydroxylation of lysine and proline in collagens
- Cleavages: signal pep remove sig sequence
- Conformational Changes
- Dimerization; oligomerization
Term
Lumenal ER Protein return
Definition
- Contain KDEL or related seuquence
- Those that escape are returned using Kdel receptor
- Has higher affinity for KDEL protein in golgi environment than ER, so shuttles back to ER and lets go
Term
BIP/Calnexin/Calreticulin
Definition
- Chaprones that help protein properly fold before leaving RER
Term
PDI
Definition
- Protein disulfide isomerase catalyzses rearrangement of disulf bonds to achieve thermodynamically stable conformation
Term
BIP
Definition
- Chaperone
- Binds to hydrophobic areas to prevent improper associations
Term
Calnexin
Definition
- Membrane anchored
- Calnexin binds incomp folded protein with 1 terminal glucose on N-linked oligos
- Removal of gluc frees
- If protein misfolds glucosyl transferase adds a glucose
- Cycle repeats till proper folding
Term
Calreticulin
Definition
- Similar to Calnexin but is not membrane bound
Term
ERAD
Definition
-ER-Associated degradtion
- Pathway for defective proteins
- Deglycosylated
- Trafficked by ubiquitin
- Translocated and degraded in proteosome
