Document Summary

Lecture 4: protein synthesis and transport (the endoplasmic reticulum) (chp 13: p. 533-539, 549-554) Newly made peptides must be directed to the correct destination. Typical mammalian cell = 10,000 proteins must be localized correctly to function where they are supposed to. Targeting - direct proteins to the right destinations (organelles) during or after synthesis. Sorting - direct proteins to the secretory pathway (er, golgi, lysosomes) Note: though slightly different meaning sometimes used interchangeably . Many proteins are synthesized just by cytosolic ribosomes . Those which are targeted to intracellular organelles such as (er), mitochondria, chloroplasts, peroxisomes, and nucleus (they have a specific signal sequence) Other proteins are synthesized by ribosomes attached to er (the rough er) . Those which reside in er, secreted proteins, and proteins which are targeted to. 2 major protein-sorting pathways are known non-secretory and secretory. Where a protein will function in the cell will determine where it will be synthesize (i. e. cytosol vs. er rough) .
