RNA localization. mRNA can be localized to subcellular compartments by actin or tubulin -dependent processes. Examples :. Xenopus : Vg1 mRNA (TGF b ) to vegetal pole. Drosophila : nanos, oskar mRNA (posterior) and bicoid (anterior). (requires mRNA binding protein staufen).

SUMMARY 2 I. mRNA decay - regulated and non-regulated turn-over - ordered pathway (deadenylation, decapping, exonucleolytic degradation) - NMD: recognition of premature stop codons II. Cytoplasmic mRNA localization - ZIP code in 3’ UTR - both actin and tubulin-mediated - yeast mating type switch as a model: Ash1 mRNA localization (via 3’ UTR, She2/3, Myo4 and actin cables)

In vitro reconstitution of ER translocation: - Sec61 complex: conserved translocation channel Sec61 subunits (a, b, g) Sec62/63 TRAM (translocating chain-assoc. membrane protein) - phospholipids (proteoliposomes) and luminal chaperones (BIP) - SRP/SRP receptor only required for co-translational translocation not for post-translational translocation (e.g pre-pro-alpha factor). - energetics of translocation: protein conducting channel (cotranslational) molecular ratcheting (posttranslational)
