Document Summary
Section 4 objectives protein synthesis and transport protein targeting typical mammalian cell: 10,000 proteins, must be localized correctly newly made proteins must be directed to the correct destination. Targeting: direct proteins to the right destinations (organelles, during or after synthesis. Sorting: direct proteins to the secretory pathway (er, golgi, lysosomes) General principles of protein synthesis, targeting and sorting. Basic mechanisms of protein targeting to the membranes of organelles are common: signal sequence receptor for the signal sequence translocation channel: translocation = transport from one thing to another source of energy. Er: structure and function uninterrupted membranous tubules and vesicles separated from the cytoplasm. Rer has ribosomes on the tubules (cisterna: cisterna are stacked. *the lumen of the er is a part of the secretory pathway. Stringing concepts together identify cellular features by microscopy, isolate and homogenize them to free organelles sucrose density-gradient centrifugation of homogenate allows for isolation of microsomes and ribosomes. Sds-page is used to identify newly translated proteins.
