Sus antecedentes:
- La proteína transportadora de aniones de los eritrocitos, Banda III, tiene una estructura compleja con dominios hidrofílicos e hidrofóbicos.
- Comprender el mecanismo de inserción de la Banda III en las membranas celulares es crucial para comprender su función.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la biosíntesis in vitro y la inserción en la membrana de la proteína transportadora de aniones de los eritrocitos, banda III.
- Para identificar los mecanismos y secuencias específicas involucradas en la inserción de la membrana de la Banda III.
Principales métodos:
- Se utilizaron células precursoras de eritroides de ratones anémicos para la extracción de ARN mensajero.
- Se realizaron estudios de traducción in vitro utilizando germen de trigo y sistemas libres de células de lisado de reticulocitos con microsomas pancreáticos caninos.
- Se analizó la inserción cotranslacional y la glicosilación de la Banda III utilizando traducción sincronizada y escisión de la endoglucosidasa H.
Principales resultados:
- La banda III fue sintetizada e insertada en las membranas intracelulares en su configuración madura, con inserción cotranslacional en microsomas pancreáticos caninos.
- La Banda III recientemente sintetizada adquirió un precursor de oligosacárido alto en manosa, sensible a la endoglucosidasa H.
- Los microsomas añadidos tarde en la síntesis todavía permitían la inserción transmembrana normal y la glicosilación, lo que indica que no hay escisión del péptido N-terminal.
Conclusiones:
- La banda III se somete a la inserción cotranslacional en la membrana del retículo endoplasmático.
- Una secuencia cerca de la mitad de la Banda III probablemente dirige su inserción en las membranas.
- El estudio aclara el mecanismo de la inserción de la membrana de la Banda III y la glicosilación.

01:19Translocation of Proteins into the Mitochondria
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,...

01:34Protein Transport into the Inner Mitochondrial Membrane
Nuclear encoded mitochondrial precursors are imported to the inner membrane in a multistep process involving two separate translocons, TIM22 and TIM23. TIM23 is a cation-selective pore that remains closed by the N terminal segment of the protein. Negative charges on the TIM23 act as a receptor for the incoming precursor, pulling the positively charged matrix-targeting sequence for peptide insertion and translocation.
Transport of mitochondrial precursors across the TIM23 channel is driven by...

01:20Cotranslational 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.

01:26Insertion of Single-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER
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...

01:27Post-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...

01:28Protein Translocation Machinery on the ER Membrane
The translocon complex situated on the ER membrane is the main gateway for the protein secretory pathway. It facilitates the transport of nascent peptides into the ER lumen and their insertion into the ER membrane.
Sec61 protein conducting channel
In eukaryotes, the translocon complex comprises a core heterotrimeric translocator channel called the Sec61 complex. This channel includes three transmembrane proteins, Sec61α, Sec61β, and Sec61γ, and is the largest subunit of the translocon complex.
