Abstract:
Many newly synthesized proteins must be translocated across one or more membranes to reach their destination in the individual organelles or membrane systems. Translocation, mostly requiring an energy source, a signal on the protein itself, loose conformation of the protein and the presence of cytosolic and/or membrane receptor-like proteins, is often accompanied by covalent modifications of transported proteins. In this review I discuss these aspects of protein transport via the classical secretory pathway and/or special translocation mechanisms in the unicellular eukaryotic organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Overview of Protein Sorting and Transport
Protein sorting can be of two types: signal-based sorting and vesicle-based trafficking. In signal-based sorting, specific amino acid sequences called sorting signals target proteins to the proper location inside the cell either via gated transport or by protein translocation. In gated transport, folded...
