Srp Directs Nascent Chains of Presecretory Proteins to the Translocation Site in the Er in a Gtp- Controlled Fashion

چکیده
Recently, a number of novel small cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein particles have been identified that comprise RNA and protein subunits related to the signal recognition particle (SRP). Here we discuss the latest results on the structure and functions of SRP together with the structures and putative functions of the novel SRP-related ribonucleoprotein particles.

Protein Translocation Across the ER Requires a Functional GTP Binding Site in the « Subunit of the Signal Recognition Particle Receptor
The signal recognition particle (SRP)-mediated translocation of proteins across the RER is a GTP dependent process . Analysis of the primary amino acid sequence of one protein subunit of SRP (SRP54), as well as the a subunit of the SRP receptor (SRa), has indicated that these proteins contain predicted GTP binding sites . Several point mutations confined to the GTP binding consensus elements of...
متن کاملDiscrete nascent chain lengths are required for the insertion of presecretory proteins into microsomal membranes
Ribosomes synthesizing nascent secretory proteins are targeted to the membrane by the signal recognition particle (SRP), a small ribonucleoprotein that binds to the signal peptide as it emerges from the ribosome. SRP arrests further elongation, causing ribosomes to stack behind the arrested ribosome. Upon interaction of SRP with its receptor on the ER membrane, the translation arrest is release...
متن کاملSRP Keeps Polypeptides Translocation-Competent by Slowing Translation to Match Limiting ER-Targeting Sites
SRP is essential for targeting nascent chains to the endoplasmic reticulum, and it delays nascent chain elongation in cell-free translation systems. However, the significance of this function has remained unclear. We show that efficient protein translocation into the ER is incompatible with normal cellular translation rates due to rate-limiting concentrations of SRP receptor (SR). We complement...
متن کاملThe fl Subunit of the Signal Recognition Particle Receptor Is a Transmembrane GTPase that Anchors the a Subunit, a Peripheral Membrane GTPase, to the Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane
The signal recognition particle receptor (SR) is required for the cotranslational targeting of both secretory and membrane proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. During targeting, the SR interacts with the signal recognition particle (SRP) which is bound to the signal sequence of the nascent protein chain. This interaction catalyzes the GTP-dependent transfer of the nascent chain ...
متن کاملSecA is not required for signal recognition particle-mediated targeting and initial membrane insertion of a nascent inner membrane protein.
In Escherichia coli, signal recognition particle (SRP)-dependent targeting of inner membrane proteins has been described. In vitro cross-linking studies have demonstrated that short nascent chains exposing a highly hydrophobic targeting signal interact with the SRP. This SRP, assisted by its receptor, FtsY, mediates the transfer to a common translocation site in the inner membrane that contains...
