The endomembrane system is composed of ER, Golgi and lysosomes - the primary
system for protein and lipid metabolism"
Ions, ATP, amino acids and other small molecules diuse randomly throughout the
cell, but the movement of proteins and other large molecules is energy demanding
and tightly regulated"
Smooth ER: lipid metabolism, Ca storage"
Rough ER: ribosomes, protein synthesis"
Metabolism:"
Synthesis - anabolism"
Degradation - catabolism"
The secretory pathway: proteins intended for secretion from the cell are synthesized
and processed in a highly prescribed set of steps - AKA protein sorting pathway"
ER is continuous with the outer membrane of the nucleus (nuclear envelope)"
Proteins are packaged into vesicles then they move from RER to Golgi"
Ribosomes are not always docked at the RER"
A 20 amino acid-long signal sequence directs growing peptides to the ER"
Molecular “tags” - target product to correct compartment"
Signal sequence - part of the primary structure of the protein"
The ER signal binds to a signal recognition particle (SRP) that then binds to a
receptor in the ER membrane"
NLS - nuclear localization"
Covalent modification (post-translational modification)"
Glycosylation"
Integral membrane proteins are synthesized and folded in RER"
In the RER lumen, proteins are folded and glycosylated"
Glycosylation = carbohydrates are attached to the protein"
