|September 26, 1986
Resumen
La región que abarca la membrana de la cadena invariante (I gamma) actúa como una secuencia de señales. Residuos hidrofílicos en la secuencia de la señal.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Inmunología Inmunología.
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- Biología celular Biología celular.
Sus antecedentes:
- La cadena invariante (I gamma) es crucial para la presentación del antígeno de la clase II del CMH.
- Atravesa la membrana del retículo endoplasmático, con distintos dominios citoplasmáticos y exoplasmáticos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar el papel de la región que abarca la membrana de la cadena invariante en la orientación y el procesamiento de proteínas.
- Para determinar si la cadena invariante contiene una secuencia de señal interna.
Principales métodos:
- Ingeniería de proteínas: sustitución del dominio exoplasmático gamma I por el cloranfenicol acetiltransferasa (CAT).
- Construyendo una variante truncada I gamma CAT que carece del dominio citoplasmático.
- Analizar la localización de proteínas y el procesamiento de construcciones de ingeniería.
Principales resultados:
- La cloranfenicol acetiltransferasa (CAT) se localizó con éxito en el lado exoplasmático cuando se fusionó con I. gamma.
- La eliminación del dominio citoplasmático dio como resultado una proteína secretada.
- La proteína secretada se sometió a la escisión N-terminal, lo que sugiere la participación de la peptidasa de señal.
Conclusiones:
- La región que abarca la membrana de la cadena invariante (I gamma) funciona como una secuencia de señales.
- Los residuos hidrófilos en el extremo N de una secuencia de señal pueden dictar la escisión de la peptidasa de señal.

Signal Sequences and Sorting Receptors
15.8K
Signal sequences are short amino acid sequences that guide newly synthesized proteins to their proper location within the cell. Classical signal sequences are fifteen to sixty amino acids long and present at the N-terminus of a polypeptide chain. Each signal sequence has a conserved segment of basic residues towards their N terminus, a hydrophobic core, and a C-terminus rich in polar residues. The C-terminus also contains a signal cleavage site and features a -3 -1 sequence motif. The -3-1...

Mitochondrial Precursor Proteins
3.9K
Mitochondrial precursors are partially unfolded or loosely folded polypeptide chains. Newly synthesized precursors are inhibited from spontaneously folding into their native conformation by the cytosolic chaperones, heat shock proteins 70 (Hsp70), and mitochondrial import stimulation factors (MSFs). Precursors bound to MSFs are guided to the TOM70-TOM37 receptors, while precursors bound to Hsp70 chaperones are targetted to TOM20-TOM22 receptor complexes.

Translocation of Proteins into the Mitochondria
13.7K
Mitochondrial precursors are translocated to the internal subcompartments via independent mechanisms involving distinct protein machineries called translocases.
Sorting of outer membrane proteins:
Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins are of two types: the transmembrane, beta-barrel porins, and the membrane-anchored, alpha-helical proteins. Beta-barrel porin precursors are translocated by the TOM complex and inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane by the SAM complex. In contrast,...

Insertion of Single-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER
18.9K
Integral membrane proteins are proteins adhered to the lipid bilayer of a cell organelle or membrane. They can be of two types: transmembrane integral proteins that span the lipid bilayer and monotopic proteins that are attached to either side of the membrane but do not pass through it.
Integral transmembrane proteins possess transmembrane and extra membrane domains. The transmembrane domains are primarily made of 20-25 hydrophobic amino acids arranged in a helical secondary confirmation. These...

Insertion of Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER
19.7K
The rough ER membrane synthesizes, assembles, and embeds transmembrane proteins in diverse topologies. These proteins function as transporters or channels and can remain in the ER membrane or are sent to the Golgi complex, lysosome, and cell membrane.
The multipass transmembrane proteins are the type IV integral membrane proteins with multiple topogenic sequences determining their spatial arrangement in the ER membrane. Nearly all multipass proteins lack a cleavable signal sequence and use...

GPI Anchoring of Proteins in the ER Membrane
6.0K
GPI-anchoring is a post-translational, reversible protein modification that is ubiquitous in eukaryotes. Such proteins are primarily present on the exoplasmic leaflet of the plasma membrane.
GPI-anchor structure
A sequence of 11 enzymatic reactions results in the synthesis of the complete GPI anchor consisting of a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic portion. The hydrophobic portion comprises phosphatidylinositol, while the hydrophilic part comprises polar groups like phosphoethanolamine,...
