Document Summary

Topic 4. 1 - online notes introduction & protein import. Overview: the endomembrane system consists of the endoplasmic reticulum, the golgi apparatus, These compartments are involved in the processing of proteins for export from the cell, proteins destined for lysosomes, and proteins entering the cell from the cell surface. Once proteins enter the endoplasmic reticulum they never return to the cytosol compartment; they are carried by vesicle transport to the other compartments of the system. There are three major subdivisions of the endomembrane system the secretory pathway, the lysosomal pathway, and the endocytic pathway. Proteins that are entering the endomembranes system can only enter at the "start" of each pathway. So proteins that are destined for the secretory or lysosomal pathways must always enter at the er, and proteins that are going through endocytosis must always enter via the plasma membrane. These are the only points of entry into the endomembrane system.
