Document Summary

All protein sorting processes begin in the cytosol on free floating ribosomes, or on membrane bound ribosomes studding the cytosolic face of the er. The localization of a ribosome depends on the protein it is making. Er bound ribosomes are making proteins that have a hydrophobic signal sequence for import into the er. Free ribosomes are making proteins that lack those signals. Er, the golgi, endosomal compartments, the lysosome, and the plasma membrane. Proteins destined for any part of the endomembrane system, including cathepsin b, are synthesized from. Er bound ribosomes and first get translocated into the er. A unique positive sorting signal promotes the translocation of proteins into the er. Proteins with these unique amino-terminal sorting signals (er signal sequences) are translocated into the er concurrently with their translocation from mrna at ribosome. Er translocation is a 5 component, 5 step process.
