Compare and contrast the four different types of integral membrane proteins and how they are inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Don't forget to include:
I. A discussion on where the amino and carboxy termini are located
II. The signal sequences and machinery used to translocate the protein.
III. the number of transmembrane spanning regions present and what they correspond to in the primary amino acid sequence.
Define Endosomes and Lysosomes. Explain the difference between these two.
