Document Summary

Er function: protein translation: all protein translation begins on free ribosomes. Translation is completed in 1 of 2 ways: translation completed in free ribosomes, cytosolic proteins, peripheral membrane proteins, these proteins can be targeted to nucleus, mitochondria, peroxisomes, chloroplasts, translation completed by ribosomes attached to er membrane (rough er) Ribosomes are targeted to the er membrane by a signal sequence" in the protein being translated. Signal sequence" located at amino n-terminus contains 6-15 consecutive hydrophobic amino acids. Proteins moves through channel into er as it is being synthesized = co-translational import. Protein synthesis resumes: polypeptide enters the er (through the translocon) as it is translated. Initially, translation is the same as for secretory proteins. Protein being formed doesn"t pass completely through the translocon: nascent polypeptide contains stop-transfer sequences = hydrophobic transmembrane domain (tmd) Translocon opens laterally and inserts tmd of nascent polypeptide into lipid bilayer of.
