Document Summary

Messenger rna for secretory proteins code for initial signal sequence of 16- 20 hydrophobic amino acids at the amino end of the newly forming polypeptide. When a ribosome beings to synthesizes a protein with a signal sequence, it moves to the er membrane by a mechanism that involves two other components. The signal recognition particle docks with the receptor and the ribosome thus becomes bound to the er. The ribosome continues protein synthesis and the leading end of the new polypeptide (n-terminus) threads into the cisternal space. The signal sequence is removed by an enzyme. Newly formed polypeptide is released from the ribosome and folds into its native conformation. In these cases translation is completed in cytosol. This receptor is part of a protein complex, here called a translocation complex, that also includes a membrane pore and a signal-cleaving enzyme: the srp is released, and the growing polypeptide translocate across the membrane.
