Environmental Transition of Signal-Anchor Sequences during Membrane Insertion via the Endoplasmic Reticulum Translocon
In biogenesis of membrane proteins on the endoplasmic reticulum, a protein-conducting channel called the translocon functions in both the membrane translocation of lumenal domains and the integration of transmembrane segments. Here we analyzed the environments of polypeptide chains during the processes by water-dependent alkylation of N-ethylmaleimide at site-directed Cys residues. Using the te...
متن کاملMembrane protein insertion at the endoplasmic reticulum.
Integral membrane proteins of the cell surface and most intracellular compartments of eukaryotic cells are assembled at the endoplasmic reticulum. Two highly conserved and parallel pathways mediate membrane protein targeting to and insertion into this organelle. The classical cotranslational pathway, utilized by most membrane proteins, involves targeting by the signal recognition particle follo...
متن کاملMembrane Topogenesis of a Type I Signal-Anchor Protein, Mouse Synaptotagmin Ii, on the Endoplasmic Reticulum
Synaptotagmin II is a type I signal-anchor protein, in which the NH(2)-terminal domain of 60 residues (N-domain) is located within the lumenal space of the membrane and the following hydrophobic region (H-region) shows transmembrane topology. We explored the early steps of cotranslational integration of this molecule on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and demonstrated the following: (a) The ...
متن کاملRequirements for the membrane insertion of signal-anchor type proteins
Proteins which are inserted and anchored in the membrane of the ER by an uncleaved signal-anchor sequence can assume two final orientations. Type I signal-anchor proteins translocate the NH2 terminus across the membrane while type II signal-anchor proteins translocate the COOH terminus. We investigated the requirements for cytosolic protein components and nucleotides for the membrane targeting ...
متن کاملSignal sequences specify the targeting route to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, only a subset of preproteins that are translocated across the ER membrane require the function of the signal recognition particle (SRP), suggesting that an alternative, SRP-independent pathway must exist (Hann, B.C., and P. Walter. 1991. Cell. 67:131-144). We have established that the two targeting pathways function in parallel. Mutant alleles of SEC62 and...
