Chapter 12 Intracellular Compartments and Protein Sorting

Major Intracellular compartments of an animal cell

Volumes of major intracellular compartments in a liver cell

Relative amount of membrane types in 2 cell types

Complex Cortical Network of Endoplasmic Reticulum

Cross section of liver cell

Topological relationships between compartments of a eukaryotic cell

Roadmap of protein traffic inside cell

Two ways in which a sorting signal can be built into a protein

Some typical signal sequences

Nuclear Pore complexes perforate the nuclear envelope

Nuclear pore complexes

Nuclear side of the nuclear envelope

Face on view of nuclear complexes without the membrane

Side view of 2 nuclear pore complexes

Transport through nuclear pore complexes occurs through free diffusion and active transport

Nuclear import signal direst proteins to the nucleus

Single amino acid mutation in signal will prevent import into the nucleus

Nuclear import receptors bind to nuclear porins and nuclear localization signal of cargo protein Different nuclear localization signals bind different import receptors

Ran GTP provides energy for nuclear protein import

Ran-GTP controls cargo loading and unloading
