Document Summary

Biol 150 principles of molecular & cellular biology. We took one last look at cell export, by examining how a protein just beginning be synthesized can cause a ribosome to bind to the er membrane for translation directly into the. A short signal sequence near the n-terminus (first amino acid) in the protein is bound by the signal recognition particle, which binds the ribosome to the membrane. The signal plus rest of the protein then is fed into the er lumen as translation continues. If the protein has other hydrophobic regions besides the signal, the protein will end up being embedded into the er membrane, and will eventually become a plasma membrane protein. Cells bring stuff into the cytoplasm, including water and food (proteins, polysaccharides), and also recycle proteins in the plasma membrane. Vesicles bud into the membrane carrying these materials, and sometimes fuse with each other to form endosomes.
