The compartmentalization of cells
All eucaryotic cells have the same basic set of membrane- enclosed organelles. Evolutionary origins explain the topological relationships of organelles. Proteins can move between compartments in different ways. Signal sequences direct proteins to the correct cell address. Most organelles cannot be constructed de novo: they require information in the organelle itself. 各胞器內含有不同的蛋白質,各有所司。這些蛋白質如何運送到正確的胞器內,且保證其方位正確?

Each newly synthesized organelle protein must find its way from a ribosome in the cytosol, where the protein is made, to the organelle where it functions. It does so by following a specific pathway, guided by sorting signals in its amino acid sequence that function as signal sequences or signal patches. Sorting signals are recognized by complementary sorting receptors, which deliver the protein to the appropriate target organelle. Proteins that function in the cytosol do not contain sorting signals and therefore remain there after they are synthesized. During cell division, organelles such as the ER and mitochondria are distributed intact to each daughter cell. These organelles contain information that is required for their construction, and so they cannot be made de novo.

The gated transport of molecules between the nucleus and the cytosol
Nuclear pore complexes perforate the nuclear envelope. Nuclear localization signals direct nuclear proteins to the nucleus. Nuclear import receptors binds to both nuclear localization signals and NPC proteins. The Ran GTPase imposes directionality on transport through NPCs. Transport through NPCs can be regulated by controlling access to the transport machinery. During mitosis the nuclear envelope disassembles.

26
The extensive traffic of materials between the nucleus and cytosol occurs through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), which provide a direct passageway across the nuclear envelope. Proteins containing nuclear localization signals are actively transported inward through NPCs, while RNA molecules and newly made ribosomal subunits contain nuclear export signals, which direct their outward active transport through NPCs. Some proteins, including the nuclear import and export receptors, continually shuttle between the cytosol and nucleus. Ran-GTPase provides both the free energy and the directionality for nuclear transport. Cells regulate the transport of nuclear proteins and RNA molecules through the NPCs by controlling the access of these molecules to the transport machinery. Because nuclear localization signals are not removed, nuclear proteins can be imported repeatedly, as is required each time that the nucleus reassembles after mitosis.

The endoplasmic reticulum (I)
The ER is structurally and functionally diverse. Signal sequences were first discovered in proteins imported into the rough ER. A signal-recognition particle (SRP) directs ER signal sequences to a specific receptor in the rough ER membrane. The polypeptide chain passes through an aqueous pore in the translocator. Translocation across the ER membrane does not always require ongoing polypeptide chain elongation. In single-pass transmembrane proteins, a single internal ER signal sequence remains in the lipid bilayer as a membrane- spanning a helix. Combinations of the start-transfer and stop-transfer signals determine the topology of multipass transmembrane proteins.
29
The endoplasmic reticulum (II)
Translocated polypeptide chains fold and assemble in the lumen of the rough ER. Most proteins synthesized in the rough ER are glycosylated by the addition of a common N-linked oligosaccharide. Oligosaccharides are used as tags to mark the state of protein folding. Improperly folded proteins are exported from the ER and degraded in the cytosol. Misfolded proteins in the ER activate an unfolded protein response. Some membrane proteins acquire a covalently attached glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. The ER assembles most lipid bilayers.

The Signal Hypothesis by G. Blobel
The easiest way to test this hypothesis is to find the common part of ER proteins, which would intuitively serve as the ER signal peptide. However, it was not easy to do so when the genes encoding these proteins were not identified yet. Figure Molecular Biology of the Cell (© Garland Science 2008)

The ER produces almost all of the cell’s lipids and a major portion of cell’s proteins. In the ER lumen, the proteins fold and oligomerize, disulfide bonds are formed, and oligo-saccharides are added. The pattern of glycosylation is used to indicate the extent of protein folding. Proteins that do not fold or oligomerize correctly are translocated back into the cytosol, where they are deglycosylated, ubiquitylated, and degraded in proteasomes. If misfolded proteins accumulate in excess in the ER, they trigger an unfolded protein response, which activates appropriate genes in the nucleus to help the ER to cope. Only proteins that carry a special ER signal sequence, which can be recognized by a signal recognition particle (SRP), are imported into the ER. SRP binds to both the growing peptide chain and a ribosome, directs them to a receptor protein on the cytosolic surface of the rough ER membrane, initiates the protein translocation process through a transmembrane protein translocator.
61
Soluble proteins pass completely into the ER lumen, whereas transmembrane proteins are translocated partway across the ER membrane and remain anchored there by one or more membrane-spanning a-helical regions in their polypeptide chains. These hydrophobic portions of the protein can act either as start-transfer or stop-transfer signals during translocation process. When a polypeptide contains multiple, alternating start-transfer and stop-transfer signals, it will pass back and forth across the bilayer multiple times as a multipass transmembrane protein. The asymmetry of protein insertion and glycosylation in the ER establishes the sidedness of the membranes of all the other organelles that the ER supplies with membrane proteins.
