Resumen
La translocación de proteínas del retículo endoplasmático de la levadura utiliza el complejo Sec y la proteína Kar2. El complejo Sec facilita el movimiento del sustrato a través de su canal, impulsado por la hidrólisis de Kar2p y ATP.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- El transporte de proteínas en transporte.
Sus antecedentes:
- La translocación de proteínas posttranslacionales a través de la membrana del retículo endoplasmático (ER) es crucial para la función celular.
- Este proceso en la levadura involucra el complejo de siete componentes Sec y la proteína luminal Kar2 (Kar2p).
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para dilucidar el mecanismo de la translocación de proteínas mediada por el complejo Sec y Kar2p.
- Investigar el papel de Kar2p y la hidrólisis de ATP en el movimiento del sustrato a través del canal del complejo Sec.
Principales métodos:
- Utilizó un complejo Sec purificado reconstituido en una solución de detergente.
- Monitoreo de la unión y translocación del sustrato en respuesta a Kar2p y ATP.
- Se ha investigado la translocación en ausencia de una bicapa lipídica.
Principales resultados:
- Los sustratos de translocación de proteínas se unen a la cara citosólica del complejo Sec de una manera dependiente de la secuencia de la señal.
- Kar2p, interactuando con la cara lumenal, hidroliza el ATP para impulsar el movimiento del sustrato.
- La translocación del sustrato se produce a través de un canal formado por el complejo Sec, independiente de una bicapa lipídica.
Conclusiones:
- El complejo Sec forma un canal que facilita la translocación de proteínas a través de la membrana ER.
- Kar2p actúa como un motor, utilizando la hidrólisis de ATP para mover activamente los sustratos a través del canal del complejo Sec.
- La bicapa lipídica no es esencial para la función del canal de translocación del complejo Sec.

01:33Overview of Secretory Vesicles
Secretory vesicles, also known as dense core vesicles (DCVs), are membrane-bound vesicles that transport secretory proteins, such as hormones or neurotransmitters. Regulated secretory vesicles transport proteins from the trans-Golgi network to the exterior of the cell. Proteins present in regulated secretory vesicles are required to be rapidly exocytosed in large amounts upon a specific stimulus.
Various proteins regulate the aggregation of molecules inside the secretory vesicles. Chromogranins...

01:45Overview of Protein Sorting and Transport
Eukaryotic cells have different membrane-bound organelles with distinct protein requirements. The process by which proteins are targeted to a specific organelle is called protein sorting.
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...

01:34Nuclear Protein Sorting
Nuclear protein sorting is the selective trafficking of histones, polymerases, gene regulatory proteins into the nucleus and exporting RNAs and ribosomes to the cytosol. It is a tightly controlled process that regulates gene expression within a cell.
Proteins targeted to the nucleus carry nuclear localization signals or NLS recognized by import receptors in the cytosol. Similarly, proteins with nuclear export signals are recognized by export receptors. Import and export receptors are...

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.
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...

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.
