4. Protein sorting and transport
4.1. The Endoplasmic Reticulum
1392-93
The Endoplasmic Reticulum
 The largest organelle in most
eukaryotic cells
 ER membrane is 50% of cell
membrane
 Space enclosed by ER is 10% of the
total cell volume
 ER domains:
 Rough ER (+ ribosomes)
 Smooth ER where lipid metabolism
happens
 Transitional ER where vesicles exit
to the Golgi apparatus
 Isolation of rough ER
Rough ER

 Overview of protein sorting
Golgi apparatus
 The secretory pathway
Pancreatic cell
 Incorporation of secretory proteins into cytoplasm/microsomes
 The signal sequence of growth hormone
20 hydrophobic amino acid proceeded by a basic aa (ie; Arg)
N
 Cotranslational targeting of secretory proteins to the ER
SRP: signal recognition
particle
Translocon:
membrance channel
Structure of the SRP
Blue: SRP proteins
Orange: SRP RNA including
2 flexible hinge regions
Green: Signal sequence
The signal sequence on the nascent protein binds to a
pocket in the SRP proteins
Translocons are
 Complexes of 3 membrane proteins called the Sec61 proteins
 Conserved among prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Signal sequence Short hydrophobic side chains in translocon neck
Opening of the translocon channel
Transfer of the growing polypeptide chain through the translocon
 Translocation of proteins into the ER after their translation
HSP 70
BIP acts as a ratchet to
drive the
posttranslational
translocation of proteins
into the ER.
 Insertion of proteins into the ER membrane
Integral membrane proteins span the membrane via α-helical regions of 20 to
25 hydrophobic amino acids, which can be inserted in a variety of orientations.
 Transport of integral
membranes
Proteins destined for the inner
nuclear membrane do not transfer
by vesicles, but move laterally in
the plane of the membrane.
Transport
vesicle
 Insertion of integral proteins
o Insertion of a membrane protein with a cleavable signal sequence
and a single stop-transfer sequence
o Insertion of a membrane protein with no cleavable signal sequence
?
Orientation of the
protein depends on
the orientation of the
signal sequence
o Insertion of a protein that spans the membrane multiple times
 Transport of integral
membranes
Proteins destined for the inner
nuclear membrane do not transfer
by vesicles, but move laterally in
the plane of the membrane.
Transport
vesicle
Specific tansmembrane sequences located
in the inner nuclear membrane proteins
may alter their interaction with the
translocon and signal their transport to the
inner nuclear membrane where they are
retained by interactions with nuclear
components such as lamins or chromatin
 Types of post translational modification of proteins in the ER
o Protein folding in the ER
o Formation of disulfide bonds (S-S)
Formation of S-S bonds is facilitated by PDI , the enzyme which is located in
the ER lumen.
o Glycosylation
14 sugar residues
3
Asn-X-Ser/Thr
Oligosaccharyl
transferase
Glycoslation
 Helps to prevent protein aggregation
 Provides signals for subsequent sorting in the secretory pathway
9
o Addition of glycoprotein phosphatidyl inositol (GPI) anchor
Yellow: inositol
Red: mannose
Blue: Glucosamine
Purple: N-
acetylgalactosamine
