Document Summary

Lecture 4: protein synthesis and transport + endoplasmic reticulum. Typical mammalian cell: 10 000 proteins, must be localized correctly. Newly made peptides must be directed to the correct destination. Targeting: direct proteins to the right destinations (organelles, during or after synthesis. Sorting: direct proteins to the secretory pathway (er, golgi, lysosomes) Proteins have to get to the right destination. We have a targeting signal, which is like your address that tells the mailman to deliver to your address: targeting can occur during/after synthesis. Targeting generally involved with signal sequence that tells a cell to take a protein somewhere, usually directing it to an organelle. Sorting relates more to directing proteins to the secretory pathway: get the cell to the er, and then vesicles will be directed towards different pathways in/out of the cell. General principles of protein synthesis, targeting and sorting.
