Signal sequence (6-15) of hydrophobic AA emerges. This acts as signal that directs polypeptide to ER membrane 3. Signal sequence recognized by signal recognition particle (SRP). SRP binds signal sequence and ribosome stopping further synthesis 4. Complex bind specifically to SRP receptor on ER 5. Protein-lined channel embedded in ER membrane, translocon, binds to ribosome 6. SRP detaches, protein synthesis continues through translocon into ER lumen. Plug proposed to seal channel to prevent unwanted passage of Ca2+ and other ions 7. When translocation completed, ribosome released for reuse, and plug reinserted 17 Role of rough ER – synthesis of integral membrane proteins l Same initial as in secretory protein. l But unlike soluble secretory & lysosomal proteins that passes through entirely the ER membrane during translocation, integral proteins contain hydrophobic transmembrane segments that are shunted directly from channel of translocon into lipid bilayer 18 Protein synthesis - ER 19 Glycosylation in RER Sugars are added up to the required structure and the whole structure is then added onto protein 20 Glycosylation in RER l Lipid carrier, dilichol phosphate, is where sugars are added one by one l In mammalian cells process of attaching core oligosaccharide is invariant: 1. Start with transfer of N-acetyl-glucosamine 1-phosphate 2. Transfer of another N-acetyl-glucosamine 1-phosphate 3. Transfer of 9 mannose 4. Transfer of 3 glucose 5. Transfer bulk oligosaccharide to nascent polypeptide Þ ER makes only 1 type of core oligosaccharide: N-linked oligosaccharide (O-linked made in Golgi complex) Þ core / bulk oligosaccharide can be modified later in Golgi complex to give unique oligosaccharide chain 21 Synthesis of most membrane lipids takes place entirely in ER and is later modified l Membrane grow as newly synthesized proteins and lipids are fused with existing membrane in ER l Membrane components move from ER to other compartments in cell l Þ lipids modified as they move from ER to other parts of cells l Phospholipid layers of membrane are asymmetrical starting from ER. l Þ components in cytosol always remain in cytosol.

Any molecules near also uptaken. (may function as plasma membrane recycling mechanism mainly) l Receptor-mediated endocytosis: specific uptake after binding of ligands to their receptors 32 Receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME) and role of coated pits l Selective efficient uptake. Low concentration molecules can be uptaken l Ligands bound to receptors that collect in specialized domains of plasma membrane called coated pits l Receptor concentrated at 10-20 times l Looked ‘pitty’ under EM: because receptors covered by clathrin protein 33  Endocytic pathway l Endocytosis of housekeeping receptor (binds to materials that will be used by cells constantly) – typically leads to delivery of bound materials into cell and return of receptor to cell surface for 2nd round l Endocytosis of signaling receptors (binds to hormones or growth factors) – leads to destruction of receptor after molecule transport, therefore decrease in cellular response to signaling molecules l Internalized material delivered to 34 endosomes Receptor mediated endocytosis 35 Endocytic pathway l Steps: 1. Ligands bind to receptors 2. Receptors internalized are transported in vesicles to early endosomes 3. Ligand from HK receptor released 4. HK receptor recycled 5. Ligands from HK receptor and signaling receptor in sorting compartment of early endosome are dispatched to late endosome 6. Then to lysosome Housekeeping (HK) receptor: binds to biomolecules constantly required by cells, 36 e.g. low-density lipoprotein (LDL, cholesterol) Endosomes act as distribution centers l 2 distinct classes: l Early endosomes – located near peripheral region of cell l Late endosomes – located near nucleus l Difference lies in pH, protein composition, buoyant density l Early endosome act as sorting station. HK receptors are dissociated from ligands by acidic endosomal environment and recycled l Released ligands concentrated in sorting compartment and dispatched to late endosome 37 Phagocytosis involves large particles l Cell eating by few cell types (macrophages/ neutrophils) l Large particles > 0.5µm diameter l Defense mechanism against invading organism, damaged / dying cells and debris l Microorganism in cells killed by lysosomal enzyme or O2 free radicals in 38 lumen of phagosome Phagocytic pathway 1. Enclose organism / particle within folds of plasma membrane 2. Folds fuse to produce phagosome (vacuole) pinches off into cell 3. Phagosome fuses with lysosome (phagolysosome) and cargo digested Bacteria mechanism against body’s defense: 1. stops vacuoles from fusing with lysosome 2. enter lysosome but resistant to enzyme degradation 39 3. destroys lysosomal membrane 40 Specific Aims: l Specific Aim #1: Understand overall intracellular structure l Specific Aim #2: Understand the structure & function of mitochondria l Specific Aim #3: Understand overall structure of endomembrane system l Specific Aim #4: Understand the components of endomembrane system, structure and function – ER l Specific Aim #5: Understand the components of endomembrane system, structure and function – Golgi complex l Specific Aim #6: Understand the components of endomembrane system, structure and function – Vesicles / vesicle transport l Specific Aim #7: Understand the components of endomembrane system, structure and function – endosomes l Specific Aim #8: Understand the components of endomembrane system, structure and function - lysosomes 41 Lysosomes’ major role involves breaking down materials brought into cell from ECM l Also breaks down cell organelle (autophagy).
