PROTEIN TARGETING
• Proteins must be correctly Localized to perform proper function
• Receptors for plasma protein
• DNA polymerase in nucleus
• Catalase in peroxisome
• And insulin outside
• All proteins begin to be synthesized on cytosolic ribosomes .
• Sorting or translocation can occur
@ co – translational
@ post – translational

SIGNAL PEPTIDE
• short peptide (16 – 30 amino acid long)
• can be cleaved later by signal
peptidase or remain as a permanent
part of protein
• Can be located on N-, C- terminus or in
the middle of the protein
Mostly N- terminus for secretory
pathway.
MITOCHONDRIAL TARGETING
# Most mitochondrial proteins are
encoded by nuclear DNA
# Only few are encoded by
mitochondrial DNA and synthesized on
mitochondrial ribosomes

Mitochondrial targeting signal
Usually located at N- terminus of precursor polypeptide
Generally removed in mitochondrial matrix
RECEPTOR/ TRANSLOCATION CHANNEL IN Mt
• TOM – translocase of the outer
mitochondrial membrane
• TIM – translocase of inner
memberane
• mitochondrial protein are synthesised in cytosol as precursors
• bind to cytosolic chaperone (HSP 70) to keep them unfolded until
they are ready to be translocated
• energy from ATP
COMPARISION OF Mt AND CHLOROPLAST
PEROXISOMES TARGETING
PEROXISOMES
• Single membrane organelle
• Matrix contains oxidative enzymes
lipid oxidation without ATP production
• Proteins encoded by nuclear DNA (everything is imported)
TRANSPORT INTO PEROXISOME
• Proteins are synthesized and fully folded in cytosol
• Completely functional and completely folded protein is transported
• This import requires ATP hydrolysis
PEROXISOME TARGETING SEQUENCES:
 PTS1 on C-terminus (Ser-Lys-Leu)
 PTS2 on N-terminus (fewer proteins)
PEROXISOME TRANSPORT RECEPTOR
 Peroxins
• Binds to proteins with PTS1 and
docks to the translocation channel
• Complex transported via membrane
• Protein is released
• Peroxin is recycled
NUCLEAR TARGETING
TRANSPORT INTO NUCLEUS
• All proteins in nucleus are synthesised in cytoplasm
• Examples:
 histones
Ribosomal protein
DNA and RNA polymerase
Transcription factor
• Nuclear localization sequence (NLS) is required for transport
• Transport occurs through nuclear pores:
Nuclear import receptor(Importin α and β)
Energy from GTP
GTPase Ran
• fully folded proteins are transported
ER TARGETING
CO-TRANSLATIONAL TRANSLOCATION
• ER signal sequence (nascent secretory protein) located at the N-
terminus and contains a sequence of hydrophobic amino acids
• Binding to ER is achieved by signal recognition particle(SRP)
• SRP and SRP receptor delivers the nascent/ribosomal polypeptide
complex into translocon (SEC61 complex)
• With GTP binding, SRP is dissociated and translocon further carries
the translation
SRP SEC61 complex
Post translational translocation (YEAST)
INSERTION OF MEMBRANE Pr INTO ER
• Membrane and soluble secretory proteins synthesized on the rough
ER undergo four principal modifications before they reach their final
destinations: (1) covalent addition and processing of carbohydrates
(glycosylation) in the ER and Golgi complex,
(2) formation of disulfide bonds in the ER,
(3) proper folding of polypeptide chains and assembly of
multisubunit proteins in the ER, and
(4) specific proteolytic cleavages in the ER, Golgi
complex, and secretory vesicles.
