The Endomembrane SystemMembrane organelles – a dynamic, integrated network
Materials are shuttled – small transport vesiclesBud from a donor membrane compartmentMove in a directed mannerPulled by motor proteinsTracks – microtubules of the cytoskeletonAt their destination – fuse with membrane of acceptor compartment
Repeated cycles of budding and fusion
Protein Synthesis and Transport within the Cell
The Endomembrane System
Protein Synthesis and Transport within the Cell
The Endomembrane SystemTypical biosynthetic pathway
Proteins synthesised in the endoplasmic reticulumModified through the Golgi complexTransported to destination
Also a secretory pathway
Protein Synthesis and Transport within the Cell
The Endomembrane SystemSecretory activities – two types
ConstituitiveTransported from site of synthesis and secreted continuously
RegulatedMaterials to be secreted are stored in large, densely packed, membrane-bound secretory granulesDischarged following specific stimulusExamples: endocrine cells, acinar cells, nerve cells
Protein Synthesis and Transport within the Cell
The Endomembrane SystemMaterials moved out by secretory pathwaysMaterials moved in by endocyte pathway
From outside the cells to endosomes / lysosomes
Secreted Proteins – targeted by sorting signalsIn the sequence orAttached oligosaccharide

Tissues – washed and transferred to unlabelled “pulse-chase”
Protein Synthesis and Transport within the Cell
The Endomembrane SystemBiochemical analysis of subcellular fractions
Technique to homogenize cellsCytoplasmic membranes fragmented and form vesiclesTypes separated using cell fractionationER and Golgi – form microsomes
Fractioned into rough and smooth
Protein Synthesis and Transport within the Cell
The Endomembrane SystemThe Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Two categoriesRough (RER)Smooth (SER)
Composition of luminal or cisternal space uniqueRER – ribosomes bound to cytosolic surfaceSER – no ribosomesRER & SER – many complex differences

Protein Synthesis and Transport within the Cell
The Endomembrane SystemRER functions – Protein SynthesisPolypeptides synthesized at two locales
1. On ribosomes attached to cytosolic surface of RER
Proteins secreted from the cellIntegral membrane proteinsSoluble proteins within ER, Golgi, lysosomes, endosomes
Protein Synthesis and Transport within the Cell
The Endomembrane SystemRER functions – Protein SynthesisPolypeptides synthesized at two locales
2. Other polypeptides – on free ribosomesReleased into the cytosol
EnzymesPeripheral proteins – plasma membranesProteins nucleusProtein mitochondria, peroxisomes
Protein Synthesis and Transport within the Cell
RER functions – Protein SynthesisHow are proteins synthesized at different sites?
Secretory proteins – signal sequencePolypeptide moves to cisternal space of ER
cotranslationally
Protein Synthesis and Transport within the Cell
RER functions – Protein SynthesisBegins after a messenger RNA binds to a free ribosome
Protein Synthesis and Transport within the Cell
RER functions – Protein SynthesisOther points to note
Interaction between signal sequence and SRP – a key stepSRP is the tag – enables specific binding of the complex to the ERBinding through at least two interactions
SRP – SRP receptorRibosome and translocon
Following bindingNascent peptide released from SRPInserted into translocon
On terminationRibsome releasedTranslocon channel reverts to narrow conformation

RER functions – Processing of proteinsPolypeptide is moved from the translocon to the cisterna
Enzymes in the membrane Signal peptide removed – signal peptidaseCarbohydrates added – oligosaccharyltransferase
