Document Summary

Er has translocators embedded in membrane allow for proteins into lumen. From rough er to golgi apparatus to other organelles through vesicles. Proteins synthesized into lumen of er become part of inside of lysosome or inside of er or secreted outside of cell. Lumenal leaflet is similar to extracellular face of cell. Er is dynamic, a network of tubules that form connections and break old ones. In drawining mrna in blue and green ribosome; nascent polypeptide synthesizing er signal sequence first translated. constantly coming to er membrane and then leaving. Translocon in blue: closed until ribosome is bound to it, translaiting protein into lumen of er. The red signal sequence remains there in the membrane. cleaves er signal sequence : eventully degraded. D signal recognition particle first binds, then translocator channel holds onto it. pluses always on cytosol help predict whether n or c-terminus.

Compare synthesis of soluble proteins and membrane proteins on bound ribosomes. Give a detailed explanation of the signal sequence, the signal recognition particle, the SRP receptor, the translocon, and the signal peptidase.

Which of the following is true about targeting of a secretory proteins?

A. Binding of SRP to the signal peptide and the ribosome temporarily accelerates protein synthesis.

B. The newly synthesized polypeptides include a signal peptide at their carboxyl termini.

C. The signal peptide is cleaved off inside the mitochondria by signal peptidase.

D. The signal recognition particle (SRP) binds to the signal peptide soon after it appears outside the ribosome.

E. The signal sequence is added to the polypeptide in a posttranslational modification reaction.
