Complex protein targeting to dinoflagellate plastids.
Protein trafficking pathways to plastids are directed by N-terminal targeting peptides. In plants this consists of a relatively simple transit peptide, while in organisms with secondary plastids (which reside within the endomembrane system) a signal peptide is appended to the transit peptide. Despite amino acid compositional differences between organisms, often due to nucleotide biases, the fea...
متن کاملProtein Import and the Origin of Red Complex Plastids
The number and nature of endosymbioses involving red algal endosymbionts are debated. Gene phylogenies have become the most popular tool to untangle this issue, but they deliver conflicting results. As gene and lineage sampling has increased, so have both the number of conflicting trees and the number of suggestions in the literature for multiple tertiary, and even quaternary, symbioses that mi...
متن کاملEvidence for glycoprotein transport into complex plastids.
Diatoms are microalgae that possess so-called "complex plastids," which evolved by secondary endosymbiosis and are surrounded by four membranes. Thus, in contrast to primary plastids, which are surrounded by only two membranes, nucleus-encoded proteins of complex plastids face additional barriers, i.e., during evolution, mechanisms had to evolve to transport preproteins across all four membrane...
متن کاملProtein secretion: Sorting sweet sorting
How are proteins sorted to different destinations in eukaryotic cells? Until recently, it was generally thought that the constitutive flow of proteins to the cell surface occurs by default, and that proteins simply accumulate carbohydrate modifications as they pass sequentially through each compartment along the secretory pathway [1]. This hypothesis was supported by studies showing that inhibi...
متن کاملThe Clathrin Adaptor Complex Responsible for Somatodendritic Protein Sorting
Neuronal proteins contain "address labels" that govern their localization. In this issue of Neuron, Farías et al. (2012) identify the machinery that recognizes one class of dendritic localization signals and establish its role in the polarization of dendritic proteins, including several postsynaptic receptors.
