Document Summary

3 ways to import proteins into organelles: nuclear import, nuclear pore complex, nuclear localization sequence. Endomembrane system though to evolved from the folding of plasma membrane. Mitochondria and chloroplasts thought to have evolved as endosymbionts organisms that live within body or cells of another organisms. Cytoskeleton: intermediate filaments extend from one side of the cell to the other, microtubules, and microfilaments lie on the bottom of the cell. Important in cell shape and motility, and movement of materials in cells, and movement of chromosomes during mitosis. Signal sequence: 15-60 aas long and directs proteins to particular organelles (like er, nucleus, mito/chloro, peroxisomes) If the er signal sequence of a protein were mutated or deleted, it would likely end up in the cytosol. Synthesis of all proteins begins in cytosol on free ribosomes. Nucleus has double membrane nuclear envelope and has a network of fibres inside.
