What is the function of the translocon in co-translational translocation of a membrane-bound protein?

Biology

Aleksandr-060686 [28]3 years ago
7 0
The translocon (commonly known as a translocator or translocation channel) is a complex of proteins associated with the translocation of polypeptides across membranes.[1] In eukaryotes the term translocon most commonly refers to the complex that transports nascent polypeptides with a targeting signal sequence into the interior (cisternal or lumenal) space of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) from the cytosol. This translocation process requires the protein to cross a hydrophobic lipid bilayer. The same complex is also used to integrate nascent proteins into the membrane itself (membrane proteins). In prokaryotes, a similar protein complex transports polypeptides across the plasma membrane or integrates membrane proteins.[2] Bacterial pathogens can also assemble other translocons in their host membranes, allowing them to export virulence factors into their target cells.[3]

The process of producing recombinant dna involves taking a gene from one organism and attaching it to the dna from another organ
Lorico [155]
<span>An American drug enterprise has devised a manner of producing insulin by way of recombinant DNA technologies. Insulin encompass 2 polypeptide chains (A and B) appropriate by way of disulphide bridges. The polypeptides are 'engineered' one after the other, and later further collectively to make lively insulin. The bacterium used is a stress of E. col

The meter is the basic measurement unit for length. It has submultiples (centimeter, milimeter, micrometer) and multiples (kilometer).

100 cm = 1 m
1000 mm = 1 m

Dynasties in Chinese history, or Chinese dynasties, were hereditary monarchical regimes that ruled over China during much of its history. From the inauguration of dynastic rule by Yu the Great in circa 2070 BC to the abdication of the Xuantong Emperor on 12 February 1912 in the wake of the Xinhai Revolution, China was ruled by a series of successive dynasties. Dynasties of China were not limited to those established by ethnic Han—the dominant Chinese ethnic group—and its predecessor, the Huaxia tribal confederation, but also included those founded by non-Han peoples.

Dividing Chinese history into periods ruled by dynasties is a common method of periodization utilized by scholars. Accordingly, a dynasty may be used to delimit the era during which a family reigned, as well as to describe events, trends, personalities, artistic compositions, and artifacts of that period.[8] For example, porcelain made during the Ming dynasty may be referred to as "Ming porcelain".The word "dynasty" is usually omitted when making such adjectival references.

The longest-reigning orthodox dynasty of China was the Zhou dynasty, ruling for a total length of 789 years, albeit it is divided into the Western Zhou and the Eastern Zhou in Chinese historiography, and its power was drastically reduced during the latter part of its rule.[10] The largest orthodox Chinese dynasty in terms of territorial size was either the Yuan dynasty or the Qing dynasty, depending on the historical source.[11][12][13][14][15][c]

Chinese dynasties often referred to themselves as "Tianchao" "Celestial Dynasty" or "Heavenly Dynasty"). As a form of respect and subordination, Chinese tributary states referred to Chinese dynasties as "Tiāncháo Shangguo" "Celestial Dynasty of the Lofty State") or "Tianchao Daguo" "Celestial Dynasty of the Great State")

plants that are shorter and need little to no soil are most efficient. Lichens, which are part fungus and usually part algae, don't need extensive root or water-transportation system
