  1. Signal Hypothesis

    signal hypothesis A hypothesis to explain how ribosomes become attached to membranes within cells in order to deliver the appropriate proteins to cell organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, or transport proteins outside the cell membrane.It proposes that the leading end of the nascent polypeptide chain consists of a signal peptide.This sticks out from the ribosome and is recognized ...

  3. The signal hypothesis matures with age

    Günter Blobel won a Nobel Prize for his "signaling hypothesis" explaining how signal peptides target secretory proteins to a translocase channel embedded in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum ( 2 ). Once the proteins have passed through this channel into the lumen of the ER, the signal peptide is removed by proteases and the mature ...

  4. History of the Signal Hypothesis

    The signal hypothesis, which describes how secretory and membrane proteins are targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum, was proposed in 1971 by Günter Blobel and David Sabatini and demonstrated by Blobel and Bernhard Dobberstein in 1975. ...

    The signal hypothesis, formulated by Günter Blobel and David Sabatini in 1971, and elaborated by Blobel and his colleagues between 1975 and 1980, fundamentally expanded our view of cells by introducing the concept of topogenic signals. Cells were no longer just morphological entities with compartmentalized biochemical functions; they were now ...

  10. Blobel and Sabatini's "Beautiful Idea": Visual Representations of the

    In 1971, Günter Blobel and David Sabatini proposed a novel and quite speculative schematic model to describe how proteins might reach the proper cellular location. According to their proposal, proteins destined to be secreted from the cell contain a "signal" to direct their release. Despite the fact that Blobel and Sabatini presented their signal hypothesis as a "beautiful idea" not ...

  15. Cell biology/Membrane Assembly: Signal Hypothesis

    In pancreatic cells, 90% of the ribosomes are touching the cytoplasmic surface of the ER. Protected in the interior of the ER is a clear space called the lumen. The transfer of secretory proteins (as they are being made by the ribosomes) from the membrane to the lumen determines their future as a secretory protein.

  16. The signal hypothesis

    For nascent secretory and membrane proteins to be inserted into the rough endoplasmic reticulum they must first be singled out from the proteins which are destined to remain in the cytoplasm. Moreover, they must contact the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The latest results elucidate these first steps, pointing out the role of specific receptors.

  17. Synthesis of Membrane Proteins and the "Signal Hypothesis"

    According to this hypothesis (Fig. 15-19), proteins that are to be either (a) secreted from the cell, (b) dispatched to lysosomes, or (c) incor­porated into the plasma membrane or membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum are encoded by mRNA molecules that contain a special nucleotide sequence called a "signal."

  21. Signal transduction pathway

    In most cases, though, the answer is no—not by a long shot! For receptors located on the cell membrane, the signal must be passed on through other molecules in the cell, in a sort of cellular game of "telephone." The chains of molecules that relay signals inside a cell are known as intracellular signal transduction pathways.
