What happens to proteins after translocation into ER? -Protein glycosylation!!! • Carbohydrate (sugar) molecules are linked to amino acids in protein • carried out by enzymes that reside in ER • sugar molecules are further modified in Golgi Most proteins that get translocated to ER get Glycosylated, few cytosolic proteins are glycosylated Functions of glycosylation (?) : • inhibitors of glycosylation have little effect on protein functions • increases resistance to proteases •some protein-protein interactions depend on glycosylation Carbohydrate (sugar) molecules : glucose (Glc) galactose (Gal) mannose (Man) fucose (Fuc) N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc) N-acetyl-galactosamine (GalNAc) sialic acid (NANA) Glycoproteins N-glycosidic linkage CH2-CO-NH-GlcNAc-GlcNAc-…. peptide backbone O-glycosidic linkage CH2-O-GalNAc-…. peptide backbone Typical N-linked oligosaccharide: Man-GlcNAc-Gal-NANA CH2-CO-NH-GlcNAc-GlcNAc-Man Fuc Man-GlcNAc-Gal-NANA Typical O-linked oligosaccharide: CH2-O-GalNAc-GalNAc-NANA NANA After translocation into the ER all proteins move on to the Golgi (both soluble and integral membrane proteins) • Some proteins function in the ER and reside there permanently signal peptidase, glycosylation enzymes, etc. • ER resident proteins contain an ER retention signal, 4 amino acids at C-terminus of protein • These proteins move onto Golgi, then retrieved, brought back to ER, • How do proteins move between ER and Golgi? VESICULAR TRANSPORT Movement between Golgi and ER: • form two distinct, membrane-bounded compartments • components are transferred via transport vesicles that bud off from ER and fuse to the Golgi. • vesicles contain both lumenal (soluble) and integral membrane proteins Protein Maturation in Golgi: I.

Examples of protein properties are shown, including the interaction of proteins and protein modifications. protein-ligand interactions protein complexes (machines) Patterson and Aebersold, Nature Genetics (supp.), 33, 311 (2003) post-translational modified proteins protein families (activity or structural) Complexity of the Proteome • Protein processing and modification comprise an important third dimension of information, beyond those of DNA sequence and protein sequence. • Complexity of the human proteome is far beyond the more than 30,000 human genes(20,000-25,000). • The thousands of component proteins of a cell and their post-translational modifications may change with the cell cycle, environmental conditions, developmental stage, and metabolic state. • Proteomic approaches that advance beyond identifying proteins to elucidating their post-translational modifications are needed. Proteomic Analysis of Posttranslational Modifications –Mass spectrometry and other biophysical methods can be used to determine and localize potential PTMs. However, PTMs are still challenging aspects of proteomics with current methodologies Isolation of modified proteins: Modification analysis is usually done by comparison of experimental data to a known amino acid sequence. A central consideration in the characterization of Modifications is the need for as large an amount of the protein as possible. Why? -typically not homogeneous, a very small fraction of total… ● Recombinantly expressed proteins or recombinantly expressed proteins that are modified in vitro. ( baculovirus and Mammalian expression system are often significant differences.) ● Chromatographic purifications +antibody precipitations ----the modifications of a single protein. ● 2D +different staining. The ‘pearls-on-string’pattern is a telltale indication of protein phosphorylation, although the introduction of charge heterogeneity by deamidation of Asn or Gln residues to form carboxylic acids can also generate such a pattern. PTM mapping of a purified protein: A variety of techniques can be used to determine the modified amino acids. Don’t forget the traditional method: Amino acid sequencing for aminoor carboxy-terminal processing!

Glycoprotein Gel Stain Detection of glycoproteins and total protein on an SDS-polyacrylamide gel using the Pro-Q Fuchsia Glycoprotein Gel Stain Kit. CandyCane glycoprotein molecular weight standards containing alternating glycosylated and nonglycosylated proteins were electrophoresed through a 13% polyacrylamide gel. After separation, the gel was stained with SYPRO Ruby protein gel stain to detect all eight marker proteins (left). Subsequently, the gel was stained by the standard periodic acid–Schiff base (PAS) method in the Pro-Q Fuchsia Glycoprotein Gel Stain Kit to detect the glycoproteins alpha2macroglobulin, glucose oxidase, alpha1-glycoprotein and avidin.
