Presentation Transcript

  1. Protein Targeting M.Prasad Naidu MSc Medical Biochemistry, Ph.D.Research Scholar

  2. Each eukaryotic cell is subdivided into functionally distinct, membrane-bound compartments – organelles • Each compartment has its own distinct set of proteins = functions • A complex distribution system moves proteins from the place of synthesis to its proper destination

  3. Protein targeting • Protein has to be correctly localized to perform proper function. • Receptors – plasma membrane • DNA polymerase – nucleus • Catalase – peroxisomes • Insulin – outside

  4. All proteins begin to be synthesized on cytosolicribosomes. • Sorting or translocation can occur • Co-translational • Post-translational • If the protein is for cytosolicfunctins, the synthesis will be finished on free ribosomes and the peptide is released into the cytosol.

  5. If the protein is destined for nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes the synthesis is also finished on cytoplasmicribosomes and the peptide is released to the cytosol (to be sorted later or post-translationally). • If the protein is going to be secreted from the cell or it destined for the membranes the ribosome with the nascent peptide is targeted to the ER (ER becomes rough) and sorting is done during translation (co-translationally).

  6. post-translational targeting: •nucleus •mitochondria •Peroxisomes • co-translational targeting (secretory pathway): •ER •Golgi •lysosomes •plasma membrane •secreted proteins

  7. Targeting sequence • Characteristic for the destination not the protein • Part of the polypeptide • Can be cleaved later by signal peptidase or remain permanent part of protein • Can be located on N-, C-terminus or in the middle of the protein

  8. BLOBEL & SABATINI PROPOSED THE SIGNAL HYPOTHESIS.( GUENTER BLOBEL – NP – 1999 )

  9. Transport of the new protein intomitochondria • Most mitochondrial proteins are encoded by nuclear DNA • Only very few are encoded by mitochondrial DNA and synthesized on mitochondrial ribosomes

  10. Mitochondrial targeting signals • Usually located at N-terminus of precursor polypeptide • Usually removed in mitochondrial matrix

  11. Receptor/translocation channels inmitochondria • Tom – translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane • Tim - translocase of the inner mitochondrial membrane

  12. Mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in cytosol as precursors • Bind to cytosolic chaperones(Hsp 70) to keep them unfolded until they ready to be translocated • Energy from ATP

  13. Some outer membrane proteins insert themselves in the membrane while in transit • Intermembrane space proteins remain there and fold • Protein destined to matrix passes through Tom 40 and then Tim (inner membrane translocon)

  14. Peroxisomes • Single membrane organelle • Matrixcontainsoxidative enzymes • Lipid oxidation without ATP production • Proteins encoded by nuclear DNA (all have to be imported).

  15. Transport into peroxisomes • Proteins are synthesized and fully folded in cytosol • Fully functional, fully folded protein is transported! • Import requires ATP hydrolysis • Peroxisome targeting sequences • PTS1 on C-terminus, very conserved • PTS2 on N-terminus, just few proteins

  16. Peroxins - peroxisome transport receptors • Bind to proteins with PTS1 and dock to the translocation channel • The complex is transported through the membrane • Protein is released • Peroxin is recycled

  17. Transport into the nucleus • All proteins found in the nucleus are synthesized in the cytoplasm • Examples: • Histones • Ribosomal proteins • DNA and RNA polymerases • Transcription factors

  18. Transport requires nuclear localization sequences (NLS) • Transport occurs through the nuclear pores • Nuclear import receptor (Importin α and β) • Energy from GTP • GTPase Ran • Fully folded proteins are transported

  19. Importin α and β bind to the protein to be transported • Nuclear localization signal binds to importinα • The complex is translocated through the nuclear membrane

  20. Activated Ran (GTP) causes the complex to dissociate • Ran transports importin β back to cytosol • Importin α becomes a part of export receptor

  21. Synthesis of secretory proteins and their co-translationaltranslocation across the ER membrane • ER signal sequence emerges • The binding by a signal-recongition particles (SRP) • SRP delivers the ribosome/nascent polypeptide complex to the SRP receptor in the ER membrane, and GTP binding

  22. Major topological classes of integral membrane proteins synthesized on the rough ER

  23. Diseases due to defective protein targeting • ZELLWEGER SYNDROME • PRIMARY HYPEROXALURIA • FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLESTROLEMIA • CYSTIC FIBROSIS • INCLUSION CELL DISEASE
