Lecture 1
Protein Delivery to
The ER, Golgi, Exocytosis
Organelles are defined by the
proteins and lipids they contain
Protein Secretion Systems
Are used by viruses
Endocytic trafficking of retroviral
Env proteins. (a) Overview of the
clathrin-dependent endocytic
pathway. Membrane proteins
internalised through clathrin-coated
vesicles are delivered to early
endosomes, the main sorting station
in the endocytic pathway. From
here, molecules can recycle to the
cell surface via the juxta-nuclear
recycling endosome and/or the
trans-Golgi network (TGN), or
move to late endosomes
[characterised by their internal
vesicles as multi-vesicular bodies
(MVB)] and lysosomes for
degradation.
How do the 30,000
Or so proteins find their
Correct Cellular Locations?

After the protein has been completely translocated, the pore
Closes, but now the translocator opens laterally within the
Lipid bilayer allowing the hydrophobic signal sequence to diffuse
Into the bilayer, where it is rapidly degraded. (In this figure and
the 3 figures that follow, the ribosomes have been omitted for
clarity.

Proteins can be delivered to the
ER by internal signal sequences
Type I: N-terminal signal sequence
Type II: C-terminus in ER
Type III: N-terminus in ER but no N-terminal address
Type IV: Multipass
Type II
Type III
If more positively (+) charged amino acids follow the start-transfer
sequences, then the polypeptide is inserted amino (N)-terminally. If
more positively (+) charged amino acids proceed the start-transfer
sequence, the polypeptide is inserted carboxy (C) terminally.
