Key Questions How is protein “quality” controlled? two types of medical problems: proteins that are OK but degraded proteins that aggregate & are not degraded
Post-translational modifications and quality control in the rough ER • Newly synthesized polypeptides in the membrane and lumen of the ER undergo five principal modifications • Formation of disulfide bonds • Proper folding • Addition and processing of carbohydrates • Specific proteolytic cleavages • Assembly into multimeric proteins
Disulfide bonds are formed and rearranged in the ER lumen Figure 17-26
Different structures characterize N- and O-linked oligosaccharides Figure 17-30
The immediate precursors in the synthesis of oligosaccharides are nucleoside diphosphate or monophosphate sugars Figure 17-31
Specific sugars are linked by specific glycosyltransferases Figure 17-32
ABO blood type determined by two glycosyltransferases Figure 17-34
Addition and initial processing of N-linked oligosaccharides in the rough ER Figure 17-36
Correct folding of newly made proteins is facilitated by several ER proteins Figure 17-27
Retrotranslocation, then Ubiquitinylation then degradation in Proteasome
