Receptors, channels and pumps Protein sorting
When a protein is translated by the ribosomes, they
need to be sorted and transferred to the right
organelle (have their own proteins and functions).
mRNA with ribosomes
ER signal sequence nothing target sequence

Golgi complex Peroxisome

Interorganelle communication
All organelles are connected to each other by

permanently formed ~ dynamic
- Important to exchange lipids
- Aa transporters between vacuole and lysosomes
→ broken down in aa = recycling
Propagation mechanisms Each cell is a different environment
pH is very important - optimum for an enzyme.
Exo/endocytosis, ecto/endosomes Certain enzymes can only work at a particular pH.
Ectosomes are formed from multi vesicular bodies
Endosomes are formed from PM. PROTEIN DEGRADATION

ubiquitin on one aa → completely different trajectory

PROTEIN TRANSLOCATION

- Kinases move
- Bax: protein in apoptosis ~ migrating into the
mitochondria. Takes about 2 hours to stain the
mitochondrial membrane with GFP bax.

loaded: GAP reconverts GTP into GDP/ Ca2+ binds PKC → with the help of DAG
- 2 types: small (with a single subunit, like Ras) or substrates can be phosphorylated.
heterotrimeric: α can bind GTP → release β and γ - ATP → cAMP (catalyzed by adenylate cyclase) →
activates PKA which can enter the nucleus and
PROTEIN- PROTEIN INTERACTIONS play a role in the transcription of CRE.

- Reporter: transcription
- SOS recruitment
- Reporter: signaling
- Ras recruitment

- Split ubiquitin
