Document Summary

Lecture 12 protein processing & the endomembrane system. The destinations of proteins: all proteins are made on ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Some ribosomes are free in cytoplasm, some become attached to er: after translation, all proteins must be sorted to their destinations: Move to cellular compartments via the cytoplasm. Enter the endomembrane system, where they are modified & transported through a series of membrane-bound organelles. Move via transport vesicles (budding & fusing carriers between other compartments) Structure of the er: a network of membranous tubules in the cytoplasm of a cell; involved in the production of phospholipids, proteins, & other functions, two types: Rough - studded w/ ribosomes, continuous w nuclear envelope. Synthesis of all proteins to be compartmentalized in lysosomes, secretory vesicles. Membrane biosynthesis (can assume some ser functions) Smooth no ribosomes, site of synthesis of specialized enzymes, functions. Skeletal muscle, kidney tubules, some endocrine glands, secretory cells. Synthesis of steroids in gonad & adrenal cortex.
