An in vitro translocation system has been reconstituted with subcellular fractions from the cell wall-less mutant of Neurospora crassa (fz;sg;os-1). Prepro alpha factor and invertase, secretory proteins from yeast, were faithfully translocated and glycosylated by Neurospora microsomes when presence cotranslationally in the Neurospora translation system. When presence cotranslationally in the Neurospora translation system, microsomes from canine pancreas(cRM) could also translocate and glycosylate the secretory proteins. However, salt-extracted cRM, which is depleted of canine signal recognition particle, could not. Furthermore, prepro alpha factor and a truncated form of invertase, containing the first 262-amino acid residues of the secretory invertase, were glycosylated by Neurospora microsomes posttranslationally, whereas only the truncated form of invertase was glycosylated by cRM when added posttranslationally. The full length invertase was not glycosylated posttranslationally. Posttranslational glycosylation of prepro alpha factor and of the truncated form of invertase is dependent on the hydrolysis of a nucleoside triphosphate. These data suggest that posttranslational glycosylation of prepro alpha factor occurs via a novel type of recognition mechanism which is either absent or ineffective in cRM. 相似文献

The precursor of the mitochondrial inner membrane protein ADP/ATP carrier is cytoplasmically synthesized without an amino-terminal peptide extension. We constructed a truncated precursor lacking the 103 amino acids from the amino terminus (about a third of the protein). Import of the truncated precursor into mitochondria showed the import characteristics of the authentic precursor, including nucleoside triphosphate dependence, requirement for a protease-sensitive component on the mitochondrial surface, two-step specific binding to the outer membrane, and membrane potential-dependent translocation into the inner membrane. We conclude that, in contrast to all other mitochondrial precursor proteins studied so far, domains of the ADP/ATP carrier distant from the amino terminus can carry specific targeting information for transport into mitochondria. 相似文献

The requirement for ribonucleotides and ribonucleotide hydrolysis was examined at several distinct points during translocation of a secretory protein across the endoplasmic reticulum. We monitored binding of in vitro-assembled polysomes to microsomal membranes after removal of ATP and GTP. Ribonucleotides were not required for the initial low salt- insensitive attachment of the ribosome to the membrane. However, without ribonucleotides the nascent secretory chains were sensitive to protease digestion and were readily extracted from the membrane with either EDTA or 0.5 M KOAc. In contrast, nascent chains resisted extraction with either EDTA or 0.5 M KOAc and were insensitive to protease digestion after addition of GTP or nonhydrolyzable GTP analogues. Translocation of the nascent secretory polypeptide was detected only when ribosome binding was conducted in the presence of GTP. Thus, translocation-competent binding of the ribosome to the membrane requires the participation of a novel GTP-binding protein in addition to the signal recognition particle and the signal recognition particle receptor. The second event we examined was translocation and processing of a truncated secretory polypeptide. Membrane-bound polysomes bearing an 86-residue nascent chain were generated by translation of a truncated preprolactin mRNA. Ribonucleotide- independent translocation of the polypeptide was detected by cleavage of the 30-residue signal sequence after puromycin termination. Nascent chain transport, per se, is apparently dependent upon neither ribonucleotide hydrolysis nor continued elongation of the polypeptide once a functional ribosome-membrane junction has been established. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) and its translocation across microsomal membranes were studied in a mammalian cell-free system. All forms of HA could be cotranslationally translocated with high efficiency. However, only truncated forms of HA were translocated after protein synthesis has been terminated. The efficiency of this posttranslational translocation was dependent on the extent of the truncation. Posttranslational translocation was ribosome dependent and occurred only in the presence of a functional N-terminal signal sequence. The molecular mechanism of protein targeting and translocation across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum is discussed. 相似文献

Cell-free processing and segregation of insulin precursors 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The biosynthesis, segregation, and processing of preproinsulin (116 amino acids) was investigated to determine the mechanism(s) by which it is translocated across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Islet mRNA was translated in the wheat germ cell-free system, and at various times during preproinsulin synthesis, puromycin was added, followed by addition of microsomal membranes. Neither processing of preproinsulin nor translocation of proinsulin into microsomal membranes occurred in the presence of puromycin. Synchronization of preproinsulin translation by addition of 7-methylguanosine 5'-phosphate enabled the timing of preproinsulin synthesis and proinsulin (91 amino acids) segregation into microsomal membranes to be determined. Membrane binding occurs when about 60 amino acids have been polymerized, i.e. prior to the completion of the polypeptide chain. The binding of signal recognition particle to the nascent signal is demonstrated to be an absolute requirement for translocation and processing of preproinsulin. The results indicate that segregation and processing of preproinsulin are co-translational events; no evidence for a post-translational mechanism was found. Furthermore, this work, together with similar studies, suggests that presecretory polypeptides must be synthesized as part of a precursor with a minimum size of 60-80 amino acids in order to effect membrane binding and translocation of the polypeptide chain within the intracisternal space of the endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

Two elongation factors (EF) EF-Tu and EF-G participate in the elongation phase during protein biosynthesis on the ribosome. Their functional cycles depend on GTP binding and its hydrolysis. The EF-Tu complexed with GTP and aminoacyl-tRNA delivers tRNA to the ribosome, whereas EF-G stimulates translocation, a process in which tRNA and mRNA movements occur in the ribosome. In the present paper we report that: (a) intrinsic GTPase activity of EF-G is influenced by excision of its domain III; (b) the EF-G lacking domain III has a 10(3)-fold decreased GTPase activity on the ribosome, whereas its affinity for GTP is slightly decreased; and (c) the truncated EF-G does not stimulate translocation despite the physical presence of domain IV, which is also very important for translocation. By contrast, the interactions of the truncated factor with GDP and fusidic acid-dependent binding of EF-G.GDP complex to the ribosome are not influenced. These findings indicate an essential contribution of domain III to activation of GTP hydrolysis. These results also suggest conformational changes of the EF-G molecule in the course of its interaction with the ribosome that might be induced by GTP binding and hydrolysis. 相似文献

The mitochondrial matrix enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is encoded in the nucleus. It is synthesized as a precursor with an NH2-terminal extension of 26 amino acids which is cleaved off during import into the mitochondrion. Fusions between the NH2-terminal 34 amino acids of SOD and the cytosolic proteins invertase of yeast and mouse dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) were tested for in vitro binding and import into mitochondria. Efficient translocation over the mitochondrial membranes takes place in the case of the SOD-DHFR fusion. The SOD-invertase fusion protein does not get translocated and binds to the organelle with only low efficiency. Yeast transformants harbouring the SOD-invertase fusion gene accumulate approximately 95% of the hybrid protein in the cytosol. The remaining material is found in the interior of the mitochondrion, loosely attached to the inner membrane. We conclude that the pre-sequence of SOD is able to deliver a passenger protein to the mitochondrion. The efficiency of protein delivery and translocation across the membrane is, however, influenced by the passenger protein. 相似文献

Helicases use the energy derived from nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis to unwind double helices in essentially every metabolic pathway involving nucleic acids. Earlier crystal structures have suggested that DNA helicases translocate along a single-stranded DNA in an inchworm fashion. We report here a series of crystal structures of the UvrD helicase complexed with DNA and ATP hydrolysis intermediates. These structures reveal that ATP binding alone leads to unwinding of 1 base pair by directional rotation and translation of the DNA duplex, and ADP and Pi release leads to translocation of the developing single strand. Thus DNA unwinding is achieved by a two-part power stroke in a combined wrench-and-inchworm mechanism. The rotational angle and translational distance of DNA define the unwinding step to be 1 base pair per ATP hydrolyzed. Finally, a gateway for ssDNA translocation and an alternative strand-displacement mode may explain the varying step sizes reported previously. 相似文献

To test how far into the protein-conducting channel of the translocon complex a nascent polypeptide domain must move before it can fold, we analyzed the folding of in vitro translated products of truncated mRNAs encoding the Semliki Forest virus capsid protease domain (Cp) during translocation into microsomes. Cp folded when the C-terminal linker connecting it to the peptidyltransferase center was 64 amino acids or longer. This means that to fold, Cp must exit the translocon channel. With an uncleaved signal sequence, about one out of four of the Cp domains could undergo folding with a C-terminal linker of only 38-66 amino acids. This suggested that the constraint imposed on folding by the translocon complex may be less stringent for signal-anchored membrane proteins. 相似文献

Inhibition of membrane transport in Streptococcus faecalis by uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation and its relationship to proton conduction 总被引:33,自引:15,他引:18
We studied the effect of compounds that uncouple oxidative phosphorylation on membrane function in Streptoccocus faecalis, an organism which relies upon glycolysis for the generation of metabolic energy. At low concentrations (ranging from 10(-7) to 10(-4)m), tetrachlorosalicylanilide, tetramethyldipicrylamine, carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, pentachlorophenol, and dicoumarol strongly inhibited energy-dependent transport of rubidium, phosphate, and certain amino acids. However, these compounds had little effect on the generation of adenosine triphosphate via glycolysis or on its utilization for the synthesis of macromolecules. They also did not seriously inhibit uptake of those monosaccharides and amino acids which do not require concurrent metabolism. It is proposed that the uncouplers interfere with the utilization of metabolic energy for membrane transport. The uncouplers accelerated the translocation of protons across the cytoplasmic membrane. It appears that a proton-impermeable membrane is required for transport, perhaps, because a proton gradient is involved in the coupling of metabolic energy to the translocation of substrates across the membrane. 相似文献

In Escherichia coli, secretory proteins (preproteins) are translocated across the cytoplasmic membrane by the Sec system composed of a protein-conducting channel, SecYEG, and an ATP-dependent motor protein, SecA. After binding of the preprotein to SecYEG-bound SecA, cycles of ATP binding and hydrolysis by SecA are thought to drive the stepwise translocation of the preprotein across the membrane. To address how the length of a preprotein substrate affects the SecA-driven translocation process, we constructed derivatives of the precursor of the outer membrane protein A (proOmpA) with 2, 4, 6, and 8 in-tandem repeats of the periplasmic domain. With increasing polypeptide length, an increasing delay in the time before full-length translocation was observed, but the translocation rate expressed as amino acid translocation per minute remained constant. These data indicate that in the ATP-dependent reaction, SecA drives a constant rate of preprotein translocation consistent with a stepping mechanism of translocation. 相似文献

The gene coding for Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytochrome c551 has been cloned and its nucleotide sequence determined. Cytochrome c551 is expressed as a 104 amino acid pre-protein from which a signal peptide of 22 amino acids is cleaved off during the translocation across the cytoplasmic membrane. The gene is located just downstream of the gene coding for nitrite reductase on the Pseudomonas aeruginosa chromosome, suggesting that these genes form an operon. 相似文献

Targeting of proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) occurs cotranslationally necessitating the interaction of the signal recognition particle (SRP) and the translocon with the ribosome. Biochemical and structural studies implicate ribosomal protein Rpl25p as a major ribosome interaction site for both these factors. Here we characterize an RPL25GFP fusion, which behaves as a dominant mutant leading to defects in co- but not posttranslational translocation in vivo. In these cells, ribosomes still interact with ER membrane and the translocon, but are defective in binding SRP. Overexpression of SRP can restore ribosome binding of SRP, but only partially rescues growth and translocation defects. Our results indicate that Rpl25p plays a critical role in the recruitment of SRP to the ribosome. 相似文献

tRNA-mediated labelling of proteins with biotin. A nonradioactive method for the detection of cell-free translation products 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We have developed a new method for the rapid and sensitive detection of cell-free translation products. Biotinylated lysine is incorporated into newly synthesized proteins by means of lysyl-tRNA that is modified in the epsilon-position. After electrophoresis in a dodecyl sulfate gel and blotting onto nitrocellulose, the translation products can be identified by probing with streptavidin and biotinylated alkaline phosphatase, followed by incubation with a chromogenic enzyme substrate. The non-radioactive labelling by biotin approaches in its sensitivity that obtained by radioactive amino acids. The products are absolutely stable and can be rapidly identified. The new method has been tested with different mRNAs in the cell-free translation systems of wheat germ and reticulocytes. Neither the interaction of secretory proteins with the signal recognition particle nor the in vitro translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane or core glycosylation of nascent polypeptides are prevented by the incorporation of biotinylated lysine residues. The results indicate that both the ribosome and the endoplasmic reticulum membrane permit the passage of polypeptides carrying bulky groups attached to the amino acids (by atomic models it was estimated that the size of the side chain of lysine changes from approximately equal to 0.8 nm to approximately equal to 2 nm after modification. 相似文献

A cDNA encoding the 180-kD canine ribosome receptor (RRp) was cloned and sequenced. The deduced primary structure indicates three distinct domains: an NH2-terminal stretch of 28 uncharged amino acids representing the membrane anchor, a basic region (pI = 10.74) comprising the remainder of the NH2-terminal half and an acidic COOH- terminal half (pI = 4.99). The most striking feature of the amino acid sequence is a 10-amino acid consensus motif, NQGKKAEGAP, repeated 54 times in tandem without interruption in the NH2-terminal positively charged region. We postulate that this repeated sequence represents a ribosome binding domain which mediates the interaction between the ribosome and the ER membrane. To substantiate this hypothesis, recombinant full-length ribosome receptor and two truncated versions of this protein, one lacking the potential ribosome binding domain, and one lacking the COOH terminus, were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Morphological and biochemical analyses showed all proteins were targeted to, and oriented correctly in the ER membrane. In vitro ribosome binding assays demonstrated that yeast microsomes containing the full-length canine receptor or one lacking the COOH-terminal domain were able to bind two to four times as many human ribosomes as control membranes lacking a recombinant protein or microsomes containing a receptor lacking the NH2-terminal basic domain. Electron micrographs of these cells revealed that the expression of all receptor constructs led to a proliferation of perinuclear ER membranes known as "karmellae." Strikingly, in those strains which expressed cDNAs encoding a receptor containing the putative ribosome binding domain, the induced ER membranes (examined in situ) were richly studded with ribosomes. In contrast, karmellae resulting from the expression of receptor cDNA lacking the putative ribosome binding domain were uniformly smooth and free of ribosomes. Cell fractionation and biochemical analyses corroborated the morphological characterization. Taken together these data provide further evidence that RRp functions as a ribosome receptor in vitro, provide new evidence indicating its functionality in vivo, and in both cases indicate that the NH2-terminal basic domain is essential for ribosome binding. 相似文献
