Document Summary

Week 5 screencast proteins into membranes and organelles. Protein targeting: many proteins are only found in one specific location of the cell. Must be in this location to function properly: targeted to organelles. Dna polymerase is in the nucleus: targeted to membranes. Complexes i-v of etc in inner mitochondrial membrane: some proteins are also secreted into the extracellular fluid. Extracellular matrix proteins, such as collagen: protein targeting occurs through two main mechanisms, signal-based targeting. Used by proteins that are destined for the er, mitochondria, nucleus, chloroplasts and peroxisomes: vesicle-based trafficking. Used by proteins that are secreted to extracellular space or inserted into plasma membrane. Also used by proteins that are destined for the golgi or lysosomes (cid:1005). Targeting to er lumen: proteins destined for the er begin translation using cytosolic ribosomes. Signal sequence is synthesized as part of n-terminus of protein: while translation is occurring, the signal sequence is recognized by a signal recognition particle (srp) in the cytosol.
