Document Summary

Ribosomes are in the cytosol, proteins are synthesized in the cytosol. Some proteins will remain in the cytosol, some proteins will be secreted and need to follow the secretory pathway through organelles to reach the extracellular space. Signal sequences are found within the protein"s sequence and direct the protein to its final destination. Endoplasmic reticulum (er): first stage of the secretory pathway. It extends from the outer nuclear membrane throughout the cell: rough endoplasmic reticulum: ribosomes associated with the outer surface of the er. *being associated with the er has important role for protein synthesis previously we have mentioned that nascent polypeptide chains (proteins being synthesized) will start forming secondary structures as they leave the ribosome. However, if the ribosome is perfectly placed right next to a channel in the er membrane, it can immediately start pushing the nascent polypeptide chain through the channel: co-translational translocation. Er signal sequence: n-terminus hydrophobic residues, 8+ always!
