Definition

Term
Synthesis of solubleproteins in the endomembrane system
Definition

If a nascent protein has a signal sequeance, it binds to SRP

The SRP-signal sequence binds to the SRP receptor, movin the ribosome to the RER

Translation resumes with nascent protein in the translocon

Translation continues as the protein is translocated into the lumen of the RER

Term
Synthesis of integral membrane proteins on RER
Definition

(First 3 same as that of endomembrane system)

If the nascent protein has a hydrophobic stop transfer sequence it will stop further translocation and make it an integral membrane protein.. if it does not has a stop sequence then it is a soluble protein instead of an integral membrane protein

Some translocation may continue until complete

The translocon opens leaving the integral membrane prote stuck in the membrane.  Two amino acid sequences are necessary for the sequence of an integral membrane protein

Term
Concept for transmembrane Receptor Binding
Definition
Transmembrane receptor in its native conformation therefore COP can't bind --> Cargo binds to receptor, conformation of receptor changes --> Now COP can bind
Term

 

Trafficking of soluble proteins in vesicles from RER

 

Definition

 

 

1.  A transmembrane cargo receptor, facing the lumen of RER, binds specific cargo only inside the RER

2. The other end of the receptor protein, the part facing the cytoplasm, binds a specific coat protein. This labels the outside of the vesicle to tell anything in the cytoplasm what is inside

3.  The coat protein can help the membrane to bud off and may help to traffic the vesicle to its appropriate destination


 

 

Term

 

How to sort and retain proteins from Golgi into COPII coated vesicles

 

Definition

1. Soluble proteins (cargo) ni the lumen bind to specific transmembrane cargo receptors which face the lumen.  This targets them to go into the vesicles

2.  COPII proteins bind to the cytoplasmic part of the cargo receptor

3.  The exterior COPII taregets the vesicle to move in an anterior direction

Term

 

Retrieval of RER enzymes that get into Golgi

 

Definition
