Protein Sorting: Pulling in the proteins
Two driving mechanisms, one powered by membrane potential and the other a combination of pulling and trapping, seem to be involved in protein import into mitochondria.
متن کاملVacuolar biogenesis in yeast: Sorting out the sorting proteins
Roughly 10 years ago, a small number of yeast labs isolated a collection of mutants that missort the enzyme carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) in an attempt to unravel vacuolar protein sorting, a process that is closely related to lysosomal enzyme sorting in mammals. They came up with an overwhelming number of VfS genes-more than 50 so far-and the screen is not saturated (see Stack et al., 1995b). How ca...
متن کاملProtein folding: Pulling back the frontiers
In the past few years, it has become possible to measure the forces required to mechanically unfold single protein molecules. Recently, the mechanical properties of heteropolyproteins have been studied, shedding new light on the mechanical design of modular proteins such as titin.
متن کاملImprovement of PSORT II Protein Sorting Prediction for Mammalian Proteins
The PSORT system [8] is a unique tool for the prediction of protein subcellular localization in a sense that it can deal with proteins localized at almost all the subcellular compartments. In its several versions, PSORT II [5] was developed for the prediction of eukaryotic proteins using yeast sequences as its training data. The reason why the data from a single species were used was that train...
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...
