Perfiles globales de la interacción del SRP con los polipéptidos nacientes
Nature
|August 4, 2016
Resumen
La partícula de reconocimiento de señales (SRP) se dirige a las proteínas de la membrana interna uniéndose a los dominios hidrofóbicos durante la traducción. Este mecanismo clasifica eficientemente las proteínas, distinguiéndolas de las que usan otras vías celulares.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología molecular
- Biología celular
- Tráfico de proteínas
Sus antecedentes:
- La partícula de reconocimiento de señales (SRP) es un complejo de ribonucleoproteínas crucial para el transporte de proteínas co-traductivas a las membranas.
- La existencia de vías paralelas de transporte de proteínas requiere comprender el grupo de sustratos y los mecanismos de selección de SRP.
- Los modelos actuales carecen de información detallada sobre cómo SRP distingue entre las diferentes vías de translocación de proteínas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Determinar los sitios precisos de unión de las SRP bacterianas en las proteínas nacientes a resolución de aminoácidos.
- Para aclarar la base molecular de la selección del sustrato por SRP dentro del proteoma de Escherichia coli.
- Aclarar el papel de la SRP en las decisiones de la vía para las cadenas de polipéptidos nacientes en las bacterias.
Principales métodos:
- Secuenciación de huellas de ARN mensajero de complejos de cadena naciente de ribosomas asociados con SRP.
- Análisis de los sitios de unión de SRP dentro del proteoma naciente de Escherichia coli.
- Mapeo de alta resolución de las interacciones de SRP con los dominios transmembrana hidrofóbicos (TMD).
Principales resultados:
- SRP exhibe una fuerte preferencia por las TMD hidrofóbicas, actuando como un factor de orientación específico para las proteínas de la membrana interna nacientes (IMPs).
- SRP reconoce selectivamente los TMD internos y con frecuencia omite los TMD N-terminales, al contrario de los modelos existentes.
- La unión de SRP es independiente de la velocidad de traducción y del factor de activación de la chaperona asociada a los ribosomas (TF).
Conclusiones:
- SRP actúa como un guardián dominante, separando eficientemente las IMP de las proteínas dirigidas por las vías SecA-SecB o TF.
- La preferencia de SRP por características hidrofóbicas específicas en TMDs emergentes dicta la selección de la vía para las proteínas nacientes.
- Estos hallazgos revelan los principios fundamentales que rigen la orientación de las proteínas bacterianas y el compromiso de la vía.

Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
18.2K
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...

Ribosome Profiling
4.3K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.

Cotranslational Protein Translocation
10.9K
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.

Post-translational Translocation of Proteins to the RER
8.0K
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...

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting
3.4K
Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis
15.1K
Ribosome synthesis is a highly complex and coordinated process involving more than 200 assembly factors. The synthesis and processing of ribosomal components occurs not only in the nucleolus but also in the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...
