Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Complex

 

Summary - Cell Biology and Biochemistry Aspects


Rough ER - Biosynthesis and Processing of Proteins

1. Translation / Cotranslational Import

(1) ER signal sequence: Directing the ribosome-mRNA-polypeptide complex to the surface of the rER

(2) Signal-recognition particle (SRP)
 Recognizing and binding to the ER signal sequencing in the cytosol, blocking the translation process
 -Then binding to theSRP receptor on the ER
 -GTP hydrolysis, peptide move into the pore and SRP released, elongation of translation continues

(3) Translocon
 -SRP receptor
 -Pore protein
 -Signal peptidase

2. Posttranslationally Import
 
Insertion of intergral membrane proteins

Mode I : Stop-transfer sequence
Mode II: Internal start-transfer sequence

3. Posttranslational Modification

(1) Core glycosylation of N-linked oligosaccharides
*Carrier during biosynthesis: Dolichol

 Tunicamycin: Inhibitor of N-linked glycoprotein synthesis
       Block the reaction between UDP-GluNAc and Dol-P

 Oligosaccharyltransgerase: Transfer the products from dolichol to the peptide( Asn - X - Ser/Thr )

(2) Protein disulfide isomerase

(3) Molecular chaperone
 
Prevent aggergation between unfolded polypeptides by hydrophobic interaction.
 Proteins that help fold globular proteins.

Transition vesicles

1. Bidirectional transprot between ER, Golgi complex and between Golgi complex cistenae; coated by COPI

2. Directional transprot to CGN; coated by COPII

Smooth ER

˙Cytochrome p450: Aerobic hydration

RH + NAD(P)H + H2+ + O2 --> ROH + NAD(P)+ + H2O

For drug detoxification(Hydroxylation of xenobiotics, increase their solubility for metabolism and secretion) and steroid biosynthesis.

Assisted reactions(?):
* HMG-CoA reductase (C6 intermediate Mevalonate synthesis during steroid synthesis)
* Squalene synthase (C30 intermediate Squalene synthesis during steroid synthesis)
* Acyl-ACP reductase (FA biosynthesis)

˙ Plasma membrane synthesis and its property determination (Important!)
Flippase -> membrane assymetry
Steroid biosynthesis -> membrane floidity and thickness

˙ Calcium storage

重要例子: Sarcoplasmioc reticulum in muscle cell(細生課本Fig.10-11, p.277)
     用Ryanodine receptor channel 釋放; 造成肌肉收縮

˙ Glucose metabolism (Fig.12-3 p.338)
* Glucose-6-phosphatase(Glu-6-P -> Glu)
(Recalling 生化-Catabolism of Polysaccharide Ch.13 p.471~474 glycogen mobilization)
