61 views13 pages

Document Summary

Protein glycosylation occurs step-wise in the lumen of the rer & golgi apparatus, with intervening vesicular traffic. Carbohydrate chains can be n-linked to asn or o-linked to ser/thr, and are derived from a common precursor that is pre- formed on a dolichol-phosphate carrier. Protein folding quality control takes places in the rer lumen; further oligosaccharide processing occurs subsequently in the rer, and in the terminal golgi stacks. Mannose-6-phosphate is used to target enzymes to lysosomes, & the receptor is recycled via the endocytic pathway. Snare proteins are used to effect vesicle fusion by causing membrane buckling , i. e. , inducing curvature. Stages of protein processing in rer & golgi. Signal peptide, leader peptide, signal-anchor, start-transfer, membrane-anchor, reverse signal- anchor, stop-anchor, etc. , sequences determine destination & topology. Variations of protease sensitivity assays are used to study signalling. Pulse chase & protease digestion & detergent permeabilization experiments. Proteomics and/or western blotting can be used to identify proteins.
