Might be a stupid question, but if the proteins are cut randomly, shouldnt, eventually, this machine create tiny harmful peptides?

Proteases usually only recognize/interact with certain pairs or triads of amino acids. So perhaps there was at one point some time ago where the random segments were harmful to the cell, but it probably isn't nowadays due to Natural Selection.
@nathanlau80736 ай бұрын
The cut peptides are quite inert and being short peptide chains that are floating around the cytosol, they would be further cut by proteases floating around the cytosol as well into single amino acids and repurposed by ribosomes either cytoplasmic or ribosomal to make new proteins. I think you are correct that maybe if these peptides accumulated and could maneuver freely around the body they might make protein aggregates or cause other damages to cells (like several disease states with protein clusters), but given the cellular proteases that can snip these peptides to bits rather quickly and then rapidly re-use them for protein synthesis, I don't think you run into this issue with normal physiology. (there are definitely disease states were excess breakdown of proteins or other biological molecules results in accumulation of harmful byproducts)

If you don't mind I have another one about this stuff: if the proteases in the proteasome can cut proteins and are themselves proteins that means they get made by ribosomes which are made up of proteins... so how do the ribosomes make the proteases without being cut by them?

I have a couple questions if anyone is up for them: • How efficient is the recycling system? Particularly, what percentage of damaged proteins fail to get recycled? • Are the number of Proteasomes in a cell comparable to the number of Ribosomes? • How accurate are the systems which attach the ubiquitin to proteins? • Do Proteasomes operate both inside and outside the nucleus?
@MichaelFlambe6 ай бұрын
I have some answers for you! a) The system is very efficient - all of those peptides will go on to be used within the cell. The raw matter is not lost, the only inefficiency is an energy one, I believe ATP is used to run the unfolding machinery of the proteasome, and more ATP will be needed to put new proteins back together, b) Yes, there are many ribosomes, and many proteasomes - although the exact numbers are not important, what is is that the proteasome is only one mechanism of many recycling mechanisms your cells have for facilitate resource turnover within your cell. Thus the ratio of proteasomes to ribosomes is not really important as your question presumes. Google Autophagy as that is the true cellular recycling boss, proteasomes are more "precision" recycling machines. c) They can be extremely perfectly accurate (dictated by the exact jigsaw fingerprint of ubiquitin binding of the target protein, and a facilitator signaling protein) but sometimes they are more relaxed, for example you may release a protein temporarily to attach ubiquitin to a lot of stuff as a stress response, and itll last a while then degrade after a time. d) Yes. Hope that helps, have a good day =)

Proteins and enzymes get their function from their shape and distributions of electrical charges. It’s very complicated but basically all of cellular biology is based on how much free energy (obtained from ATP breakdown into ADP) is in a system, which causes changes in protein shape, which moves charges around in the structure.
@javiermachin16 ай бұрын
Very good question. It doesn’t “know” really. A protein is a large molecular puzzle, made from thousand of atoms. Every atom may possess a positive or negative charge (or neutral if no net charge). So, you have a 3D puzzle with different magnetic properties in different parts of the puzzle. You throw 2 proteins together and the magnetic interactions will be really interesting. Evolution, after millions of years, selects those structures that yield advantages for survival. We live in a wonderful universe. Greetings.

@@maxwellsimon4538 Not every protein requires ATP to function.

We have multiple methods to acquire the 3D structures (atom by atom) of molecules, X-ray Diffraction/Crystalography is used most of the time. From there, we either: 1. Run a simulation using the gathered 3D structure data, or 2. Continue taking snapshots of the same protein in its different states to get a sort of animatic of its function/behavior. This is called Structural Biology.

This excellent talk on how the animations were produced answered two of my questions: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5Pcq3ifd9uVjtk Time is slowed down by a factor of about a billion, and is derived from actual molecular simulations, however the animation is hand-tuned a fair bit to make it read more clearly for the viewer (reality would be way too messy to understand!)
Loved the animation! Other sources, however, indicate a seven-fold symmetry, not 6. This may be significant as both inflammasomes and apoptosomes have a 7-fold symmetry. Many complex proteins have subunits in multiples of 2, 3, or 5. Seven is the largest prime number of multiple subunits in any protein, and (significantly?) these proteins all have roles in defense. As far as I know, nothing has subunits in multiples of 11.
@Gelatinocyte25 ай бұрын

@@Gelatinocyte2 As far as I know, 7-fold is the largest prime describing symmetry in proteins. Every protein I've run into with such a symmetry is involved in some form of defense (inflammasome, apoptosome). Sure, there are some proteins that vary, even in the same organism, such as M class antibodies with 6 (not 5) subunits. I just haven't found anything with a 7-fold symmetry that didn't have some role in defense, but I'd love it if someone could either find one, or come up with a rationale of why they don't exist.

There are probably only two things left that still put me in a state of child-like state of awe. One is that even if our universe would be the only one in existence "right now" (which I don't think so), there was quite definitely some universe before our big bang because our big bang must have been caused by some underlying situation and that goes back till forever. This "something" instead of "nothing" situation has to go back to eternity which makes my brain glitch thinking about that. The other thing that does that for me are these beautiful molecular machines capable in some cases of handling even individual electrons. I am absolutely certain that it is possible to make any creature biologically immortal (dictators will be an issue heh) once you can fully (or sufficiently for that purpose) understand and control these biological processes, because albeit extremely complex, we are clearly "just" a mind boggling chunk of molecular machinery and if you can keep the components in a specific state without degradation as it happens naturally through DNA getting damaged, proteins then being produced with defects, one could live for 1000 years if he can keep himself occupied and entertained. Or we could regrow missing limbs, eyes and so on. The possibilities are thrilling (with some ethical questions to be solved for sure).
