چکیده

We have found that a soluble activity present in the postribosomal supernatant fraction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae stimulates posttranslational translocation of yeast prepro-alpha-factor across yeast microsomal membranes. Stimulation of translocation is not due to a nonspecific affect on ATP levels. The activity is likely to be due to protein(s) as it is destroyed by N-ethylmaleimide, protease, or heat treatment but not by incubation with RNase. Its apparent sedimentation coefficient is approximately 9.6 S.

In vitro protein translocation across the yeast endoplasmic reticulum: ATP-dependent posttranslational translocation of the prepro-alpha-factor.

The in vitro synthesized precursor of the alpha-factor pheromone, prepro-alpha-factor, of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was translocated across yeast microsomal membranes in either a homologous or a wheat germ cell free system. Translocated prepro-alpha-factor was glycosylated, sedimented with yeast microsomal vesicles, and was protected from digestion by added protease, but was soluble after alkali...

Secretory protein translocation in a yeast cell-free system can occur posttranslationally and requires ATP hydrolysis

We describe an in vitro system with all components derived from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that can translocate a yeast secretory protein across microsomal membranes. In vitro transcribed prepro-alpha-factor mRNA served to program a membrane-depleted yeast translation system. Translocation and core glycosylation of prepro-alpha-factor were observed when yeast microsomal membranes were a...

Full-length prepro-alpha-factor can be translocated across the mammalian microsomal membrane only if translation has not terminated

We have previously shown that fully synthesized prepro-alpha-factor (pp alpha F), the precursor for the yeast pheromone alpha-factor, can be translocated posttranslationally across yeast rough microsomal (RM) membranes from a soluble, ribosome-free pool. We show here that this is not the case for translocation of pp alpha F across mammalian RM. Rather we found that a small amount of translocati...

Prepro-carboxypeptidase Y and a truncated form of pre-invertase, but not full-length pre-invertase, can be posttranslationally translocated across microsomal vesicle membranes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

We have determined that prepro-carboxypeptidase Y and a truncated form of pre-invertase can be translocated across the yeast microsomal membrane post-translationally in a homologous in vitro system. The yeast secretory protein prepro-alpha-factor which was previously shown to be an efficient posttranslational translocation substrate is therefore not unique in this regard, but rather the yeast E...

Full-length Prepro-a-Factor Can Be Translocated across the Mammalian Microsomal Membrane only if Translation Has Not Terminated

We have previously shown that fully synthesized prepro-ct-factor (ppaF), the precursor for the yeast pheromone a-factor, can be transiocated posttranslationally across yeast rough microsomai (RM) membranes from a soluble, ribosome-free pool. We show here that this is not the case for translocation of ppctF across mammalian RM. Rather we found that a small amount of translocation of full-length ...
