Where Do All the Proteins Go? Eukaryotic Cell Structures pages 173-183
The Nucleus • Chromosomes – genetic info inside nucleus • Made of DNA & proteins • Nucleolus – dark spot in the nucleus • Where ribosomes are assembled • Nuclear envelope – membrane around nucleus • Nuclear pores – holes in nuclear envelope that allow RNA to exit the nucleus
Nucleolus Cell Membrane Nucleus Nuclear envelope Animal Cell
Where Do All the Proteins Go? • Proteins are assembled at ribosomes, but then what? • Most proteins must be modified before they work properly • Animation – protein folding • Several cell organelles help modify & transport the proteins to their final destinations • Animation – overview
Protein Synthesis • Ribosome – where proteins are assembled • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) – series of membranes attached to the nucleus • Rough ER (RER) – Has ribosomes attached to it • Proteins are released inside after being made • Folds & modifies the proteins • Smooth ER (SER) – No ribosomes attached • Lipid synthesis • Animation – overview
Ribosome (attached) Ribosome (free) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Rough endoplasmic reticulum Animal Cell
Protein Synthesis – continued • Vesicle – “bubble” surrounded by a membrane • Transports proteins & other substances around the cell • Golgi Apparatus – stacks of membranes near the ER • Attaches carbs or lipids to the protein before it is sent to its final destination • Animation – vesicle transport
Ribosome (attached) Ribosome (free) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Rough endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus Animal Cell
Final Destinations? • Cytoplasm – only proteins assembled on free ribosomes • Lysosomes (contain enzymes) – vesicles fuse with the lysosome • Vaculoes (store materials) – vesicles fuse with the vacuole • Secretion – vesicles fuse with the cell membrane (exocytosis) • Animation – final destinations
Review • Which organelle packages proteins for their final destination? • Which organelle is where ribosomes are made? • Which organelle is full of enzymes? • Which organelle is where proteins are assembled? • Which TWO organelles modify proteins? • Which organelle stores proteins? • Which organelle is where lipids are made? • Which organelle transports proteins around the cell?
