Protein Kinesis

What is Kinesis?

Kinesis is the term refers to the movement, activity, division.

What refers to protein kinesis?

Scientists mostly use the term protein kinesis for the movement of proteins intracellular or extracellular for some important cytological functions.

Significant functions depend on protein kinesis:

• Active and passive transport of molecules in and out of the cell
• Synthesis of biomolecules
• Cell division and Cell cycle
• Endocytosis, phagocytosis and autophagy
• Cellular movement such as chemotaxis, cilia, flagella
• Cell signaling to accept molecules from outside
• DNA repair and cell repair
• All metabolic processes
• The process of their own synthesis - transcription and translation

Route of protein movement:

Proteins got synthesized in cytoplasm with the help of mRNAs and tRNAs by the process called translation. After it has synthesized, it deposits in Endoplasmic reticulum, because of this it looks like granules present on Endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore, it is called as Rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Then it transports to Golgi bodies, there it is processed for usage of all cytological functions. Then it transports to membrane to receive chemicals (hormones, enzymes) as a signal for them.

Some proteins settled at the end of golgi bodies to form as enzymes present in vesicles. Such vesicles transform into lysosomes. The proteins (enzymes) found here is very powerful cytolytic enzymes. These proteins are useful for the process of exocytosis, endocytosis, phagocytosis and autophagy ( suicidal destruction ).

Some proteins stayed in the cytoplasm to perform various metabolic processes such as embden-meyerhoff pathway, TCA cycle, etc.

Some proteins again acting as enzymes to synthesize themselves with the help of mRNAs and tRNAs by the process called transcription and translation.

Some proteins (enzymes as well as hormones) secreted in the cell but transported out to the target organs to perform their function.

Some proteins responsible for the cell division and cell cycle which is needed for the growth of an organism.
