imagine a cell-surface receptor protein is being newly synthesized. How can it get into the membrane that it will ultimately be
motikmotik

Answer:

the steps for a new receptor synthesis:

Explanation:

Do not forget the steps vary from an eukarityc cell to prokarityc one.  

IN AN EUKARYOTIC CELL:

1- Transcription: in the nucleus, mRNA is synthesized from the DNA sequence that codifies the protein. Exons are spliced if needed by spliceosomes.  

2- From nucleus into cytoplasm: mRNA goes through nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm were ribosomes, substrates for protein synthesis and other organelles are.

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)  

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- (The mRNA has a signal that is recognized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum) The peptide goes into this reticulum (RER) and then into Golgi apparatus. (more chemical modifications are made if needed). By this moment the protein has an inserted portion in a lipid membrane.

6- The protein is transported in a vessel that finally fusions with cytoplasmic membrane and the receptor is in destiny. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.

IN A PROKARYTIC CELL:

1- Transcription (no splicing is needed, there are not exons)

2- There are not nucleus and cytoplasm divided (no transport)

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- The mRNA has a signal that is guides the growing protein to cellular membrane. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.

What is difference between Microtubules and Microflaments?
Nina [5.8K]

Microfilaments

Microfilaments are fine, thread-like protein fibers, 3-6 nm in diameter. They are composed predominantly of a contractile protein called actin, which is the most abundant cellular protein. Microfilaments' association with the protein myosin is responsible for muscle contraction. Microfilaments can also carry out cellular movements including gliding, contraction, and cytokinesis.

Microtubules

Microtubules are cylindrical tubes, 20-25 nm in diameter. They are composed of subunits of the protein tubulin--these subunits are termed alpha and beta. Microtubules act as a scaffold to determine cell shape, and provide a set of "tracks" for cell organelles and vesicles to move on. Microtubules also form the spindle fibers for separating chromosomes during mitosis. When arranged in geometric patterns inside flagella and cilia, they are used for locomotion.

Hope this helps :)
