Document Summary

Cells direct proteins to the proper location (if not in cytoplasm) Proteins in cytoplasm no additional targeting signals. Proteins for the nucleus nuclear localization signal. Proteins destined to be secreted outside of the cell or function in other organelles: The site of translation determines the fate. Some proteins are translated fully out in the cytoplasm. Some proteins are translated on membrane-bound ribosomes (interior space of er lumen) All protein initiated translation in cytoplasm and by ribosomes. Some ribosomes attach to the membrane as they carry out protein synthesis. 1960s, george palade developed a way to trace the fate of proteins. Pulse first, give a culture of actively growing cells a large amount of a radio-labeled amino acid all proteins made during the pulse are radioactive (hot) detectable. Chase next, add an excess amount of the same amino acid that is not labeled all proteins made during the chase onward are unlabeled (cold) undetectable.
