Resumen

La GTPasa Nug2 actúa como un temporizador crucial para la exportación del ribosoma eucariota. Su liberación de los pre-ribosomas es esencial para reclutar maquinaria de exportación, asegurando una maduración adecuada.

Área de la Ciencia:

Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
Biología celular Biología celular.
La bioquímica es la bioquímica.

Sus antecedentes:

La biogénesis de ribosomas eucariotas es un proceso complejo e intensivo en energía.
La exportación nuclear es un paso crítico e irreversible en la maduración pre-ribosoma.
Los mecanismos que controlan el momento de la competencia de exportación no se comprenden bien.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para investigar el papel de Saccharomyces cerevisiae GTPase Nug2 en la regulación del tiempo de la competencia de exportación de ribosomas pre-60S.
Para aclarar la interacción de Nug2 con otros factores involucrados en la maduración y exportación de ribosomas.

Principales métodos:

El agotamiento y la mutación de Nug2 en Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Análisis de la composición de partículas pre-60S y la unión Nmd3.
Investigando el papel de la ATPasa Rea1 y Rsa4.4.

Principales resultados:

Nug2 se une a la cara inter-subunidad de las partículas pre-60S, evitando la unión prematura de Nmd3.
El agotamiento de Nug2 conduce a la unión prematura de Nmd3 y a defectos de exportación.
La liberación de Nug2 requiere su actividad de GTPasa y la actividad de Rea1 ATPasa.
Rea1 y Rsa4 están asociados con partículas ligadas a Nug2 e interactúan sintéticamente con los mutantes de Nug2.

Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

The organelle-specific signaling sequences direct proteins synthesized in the cytosol to their final destination like ER, mitochondria, peroxisomes, etc. Some of the proteins directed to ER are then trafficked via vesicles to other organelles within the cell or the extracellular environment through the Golgi complex. For example, the rough ER synthesizes soluble proteins for transportation to the lysosomes or secretion out of the cell. It can also synthesize transmembrane proteins that can...

Cotranslational Protein Translocation

Cotranslational Protein Translocation

Translocation of proteins across membranes is an ancient process that occurs even in bacteria and archaebacteria. In fact, the components of the translocation machinery are still conserved between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Sec61 channel partners for cotranslational translocation
During cotranslational translocation, the Sec61 channel partners with the signal recognition particle (SRP), the signal recognition particle receptor (SR), and the ribosomes to transport the nascent polypeptide chain...

Improving Translational Accuracy

Improving Translational Accuracy

Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Post-translational Translocation of Proteins to the RER

Post-translational Translocation of Proteins to the RER

A sizable fraction of proteins destined for ER are first synthesized in the cell cytosol and then transported across the ER membrane–a process called post-translational translocation. Similar to cotranslationally translocated proteins, these proteins also use the Sec translocon complex to enter the ER lumen.
Targeting proteins to the ER
Hsp40 and Hsp70 chaperone molecules bind the translated proteins in the cytosol to prevent their folding. The chaperone binding helps to keep the signal...

Coat Assembly and GTPases

Coat Assembly and GTPases

Vesicles incorporate different coat protein subunits in different cell locations, which changes the properties of the coat, such as the shape and geometry of the transport vesicles. Thus, vesicle coat proteins also play a significant role in cargo selection.
Coat assembly depends on the local availability of phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs and GTP-binding proteins. Adaptor proteins, which link the coat proteins to the membrane, bind to these PIPs and play a crucial role in controlling...

Rab Proteins

Rab Proteins

Rab proteins constitute the largest family of monomeric GTPases, of which 70 members are present in humans. Rab proteins and their effectors regulate consecutive stages of vesicle transport such as vesicle transport, docking, and fusion to the correct recipient membrane.
Rab proteins switch between a cytosolic, GDP-bound inactive state and a membrane-anchored, GTP-bound active state. By themselves, Rabs show slow rates of GDP/GTP exchange and GTP hydrolysis. Thus, Rab proteins are considered...
