synthesis of membran

QuestionAnswer
What are two features of a translocator? A plug and a seam
Where does the polypeptide grow in the translocator? In the plug
How does the signal peptide and polypeptide chain leave the translocator? Through the opened seam
What are the two sides of a membrane? luminar, cytosolic
What three functions can the signal sequences direct proteins to do? import, export and localize proteins
What is the difference between co-translational translocation and post-translationl translocation? Proteins are made and then put into cellular membrane (post) proteins are translated at the site and placed immediately into membrane (co)
Difference between rough and smooth ER function Rough - proteins are synthesized Smooth - membranes are synthesized
briefly explain co-translational translocation ribosomal subunits attach directly to the translocateor that is imbedded in the ER membrane. When proteins are translated, the are grown inside of the ER lumen. When finished, the signal peptadiase detaches, as well as signal peptide
briefly explain post-translational translocation Proteins are synthesized int he cytosol of the cell, then localized to ER membrane and transported into the cell via translocator
What initiates synthesis of membrane proteins? SRP binds to ribosomal unit performing translation, causing it to pause
Where does the SRP-bound translation unit go? It is brought to a SRP receptor protein, where it is then moved to the protein translocator
What are three major functions of SRP? 1. Recognizes signalling sequence and binds with met on growing protein 2. binds to large subunit 3. recognizes SRP receptor
What is a secreted protein? a protein that exists fully inside of the ER. it has a cleaved signal sequence
What is a single-pass membrane protein? Name specific parts A single pass protein has one transmembrane unit with parts extending inside and outside of the cell. A stop transfer sequence tells the translocator when to release the protein into the membrane
What charges on the stop transfer sequence exist in which part of the cell? Negative - lumen positive - cytosol
How can internal signal sequences direct production of membrane proteins? if they have certain charges, they can dictate which end (C or N term) is internalized
How are double pass proteins created? Start transfer and stop transfer sequences are hydrophobic. They dictate where the protein passes through the membrane
How are multipass proteins created? Alternating start/stop sequences
How does glycosylation start lipid linked oilgosaccharides exist in the membrane - they are transferred with oligosaccharyl transferase to an asparagine (N)
What is the typical amino acid sequence for N-linked glycosylation Asparagine-X-(serine or threonine)
What is the initial oligosaccharide attached to? Dolichol
What is the hierarchy of attached saccharides, starting with N-bound? N-acetylglucosamine, mannose, glucose
Where do proteins acquire their correct folding? In the ER
What do unfolded proteins first bind to? They bind to calnexin, which is a transmembrane chaperone
What does calnexin do? Binds to the glucose in the N-linked structure and removes it with glucosidase
What if the protein is not correctly folded? Glucosyl transferase adds the glucose again using UDP-glucose
What are three examples of other modifications made to proteins 1. association with BiP chaperone for facilitated translocation and protein folding 2. formation of disulfide bonds catalyzed by disulfide isomerase 3. formation of multimer protein complexes
Where are misfolded proteins transported? To the cytoplasm through an ER translocator
What happens to misfolded proteins when in the cytosol? N-glycanase removes oligosaccharides protein gets ubiquitinated protein broken down in proteasome
Where are phospholipids assembled? cytoplasmic side of the smooth ER
Where is GPI anchored and what does it do? It is anchored to one layer in lumen of ER. It binds to the anchored protein and serves as a new anchor site for the protein.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
