Chapter 26 Protein Sorting
Chapter Objectives • Understand the pathways of cotranslational processing of proteins • ER, Golgi, Plasma membrane, Lysosomes • Understand the pathways of posttranslational processing of proteins • Mitochondria, Peroxisomes, Nucleus
Overview • Cytoplasmic proteins • Mitochondria, peroxisome, or nuclear proteins • Extracellular, lysosomal, ER proteins
How do proteins know where to go? • Signal Peptide • Sends proteins to ER • No signal, to the cytosol • Blobel 1999 Nobel Prize Some polar Mature protein N Cleavage site Hydrophobic (10-15 aa)
To the ER! GDP GTP GDP
Goodbye ER, Hello Golgi • Must physically cross a space. • COP-coated vesicles • Coat protein complex • COP-II sends vesicles to Golgi
Finding a Target • ARF GTPase activity activated at target • Coat is removed • Target • Plasma membrane • Nerve cells • Other organelles
Oops!! Goodbye Golgi, Hello ER • COP-I • KDEL sequence in protein
To the Lysosome • Vesicles bud from Golgi to a variety of places • Lysosomes • Termernal glycosylation is mannose 6P • Destructive
Clathrin-coat • Another way to make vesicles • Dynamin pinches vesicle • GTP dependent • Clathrin-coated vesicles become endosomes • Endosomes can become or fuse with lysosomes.
To the Peroxisome • Peroxisomes are thought to be artifact organelles • Oxidation reactions • Without producing energy • Break down lipids • No synthesis of proteins • PTS1 and PTS2 are signals to import proteins • PTS1 has a c-terminal SKL tripeptide
To the Nucleus • Transport proteins • Proteins and RNA are leaving the nucleus • Proteins are trying to get into the nucleus • Some proteins are really big • Nuclear Pore Complex (nucleoporin) • Very big allows diffusion of up to 40,000 Da proteins • Larger proteins must be accepted by complex
Big Protein Transport • NLS (nuclear localization signal) • Very positive charge • PKKKRKV • KRxxxxxxxxxxPAAIKKAGQAKKKK • NES (nuclear export signal) • Some proteins go both ways • Heteroribonucleoprotein complex (hnRNP) • Shuttles mRNA out of nucleus • Returns to pick up more • 38 amino acid signal sends it both directions
Entropy and Transport to Nucleus • Not energy mechanism innate to nucleoporin • Uses small GTP/GDP binding protein Ran
