1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,559 All nuclear-encoded mRNAs are transported through nuclear pores and then translated in the cytosol. 2 00:00:07,379 --> 00:00:12,039 Special targeting sequences direct the protein to a specific membrane or organelle. 3 00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:18,699 For example, nuclear proteins fold in the cytosol and then enter the nucleus through the nuclear pores. 4 00:00:23,109 --> 00:00:29,769 Paroxysomal proteins also fold in the cytosol and then cross the paroxysome membrane into the organelle lumen. 5 00:00:29,769 --> 00:00:39,899 Special targeting sequences direct mitochondrial proteins to where the inner and outer membranes are close together. 6 00:00:40,659 --> 00:00:42,719 These sequences are cleaved in the matrix. 7 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,280 Some proteins are incorporated into the inner membrane. 8 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:52,780 Other mitochondrial proteins cross into the inner membrane space, while others remain in the matrix. 9 00:00:55,740 --> 00:00:58,479 Chloroplast proteins are processed in a similar way. 10 00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:01,899 They cross the outer and inner membranes to enter the stroma. 11 00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:04,519 Some fold in the stroma and remain there. 12 00:01:04,819 --> 00:01:11,019 Other proteins cross the chloroplast membranes, transit the stroma, and fold in the thylakoids.
