| Abstract | Secretory proteins are synthesized on ribosomes bound to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). After the selection of polysomes synthesizing secretory proteins and their direction to the membrane of the ER via signal recognition particle (SRP) and docking protein respectively, the polysomes become bound to the ER membrane via an unknown, protein-mediated mechanism. To identify proteins involved in protein translocation, beyond the (SRP-docking protein-mediated) recognition step, controlled proteolysis was used to functionally inactivate rough microsomes that had previously been depleted of docking protein. As the membranes were treated with increasing levels of protease, they lost their ability to be functionally reconstituted with the active cytoplasmic fragment of docking protein (DPf). This functional inactivation did not correlate with a loss of either signal peptidase activity, nor with the ability of the DPf to reassociate with the membrane. It did correlate, however, with a loss of the ability of the microsomes to bind ribosomes. Ribophorins are putative ribosome- binding proteins. Immunoblots developed with monoclonal antibodies against canine ribophorins I and II demonstrated that no correlation exists between the protease-induced inability to bind ribosomes and the integrity of the ribophorins. Ribophorin I was 85% resistant and ribophorin II 100% resistant to the levels of protease needed to totally eliminate ribosome binding. Moreover, no direct association was found between ribophorins and ribosomes; upon detergent solubilization at low salt concentrations, ribophorins could be sedimented in the presence or absence of ribosomes. Finally, the alkylating agent N- ethylmaleimide was shown to be capable of inhibiting translocation (beyond the SRP-docking protein-mediated recognition step), but had no affect on the ability of ribosomes to bind to ER membranes. We conclude that potentially two additional proteinaceous components, as yet unidentified, are involved in protein translocation. One is protease sensitive and possibly involved in ribosome binding, the other is N- ethylmaleimide sensitive and of unknown function. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
