چکیده

Signal recognition particle (SRP), an 11S ribonucleoprotein (Walter and Blobel (1982) Nature 299, 691-698), is required for translocation of secretory proteins across microsomal membranes (Walter and Blobel (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77, 7112-7116) and for asymmetric integration into microsomal membranes of a transmembrane protein (Anderson et al., (1982) J. Cell Biol. 93, 501-506). We demonstrate here that SRP is also required for translocation of the lysosomal protease cathepsin D across microsomal membranes.

Signal recognition particle: a ribonucleoprotein required for cotranslational translocation of proteins, isolation and properties.

Microsomal membranes (RM) l lose their ability to translocate nascent secretory, 2,3 lysosomal, 4 and membrane s proteins upon salt extraction if they are assayed in the wheat germ cell-free translation system. From the salt extract, a ribonucleoprotein [termed signal recognition particle (SRP)] was purified to homogeneity and shown to be composed of six different polypeptide chains 3 and one 7...

Protein Translocation Across the ER Requires a Functional GTP Binding Site in the « Subunit of the Signal Recognition Particle Receptor

The signal recognition particle (SRP)-mediated translocation of proteins across the RER is a GTP dependent process . Analysis of the primary amino acid sequence of one protein subunit of SRP (SRP54), as well as the a subunit of the SRP receptor (SRa), has indicated that these proteins contain predicted GTP binding sites . Several point mutations confined to the GTP binding consensus elements of...

Protein translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum. I. Detection in the microsomal membrane of a receptor for the signal recognition particle

Salt-extracted microsomal membranes (K-RM) contain an activity that is capable of releasing the signal recognition particle (SRP)-mediated elongation arrest of the synthesis of secretory polypeptides (Walter, P., and G. Blobel, 1981, J. Cell Biol., 91:557-561). This arrest-releasing activity was shown to be a function of an integral microsomal membrane protein, termed the SRP receptor (Gilmore,...

Wild type and mutant signal peptides of Escherichia coli outer membrane lipoprotein interact with equal efficiency with mammalian signal recognition particle.

The signal peptide of the outer membrane lipoprotein (OMLP) of Escherichia coli was shown to be capable of promoting protein translocation across mammalian microsomal membranes in vitro. We assayed translocation of a fusion protein containing the OMLP signal peptide and nine amino acids of OMLP fused in frame to beta-lactamase. The efficiency with which the mammalian translocation machinery rec...

A bacterial secretory protein requires signal recognition particle for translocation across mammalian endoplasmic reticulum.

In vitro transcription of DNA from plasmid pBR322 was coupled to cell-free translation in a wheat germ system. The major translation product was pre-beta-lactamase. Upon addition of dog pancreas microsomes, the precursor was processed to authentic beta-lactamase as shown by partial NH2-terminal sequence analysis. Processing was linked to translocation into the microsomal vesicles. Salt-extracte...
