Q

Golgi Complex

A
  • ‘complex’ or ‘stack’ of flattened, membrane-bound cisternae (sacs) with dilated edges and numerous associated tubules and vesicles
  • number and distribution of them vary between different cell types (mammals contain one large one, and plants/yeast contain many small)
  • possesses several subcompartments (results in complex (stack) having distinct polarity: both structurally and functionally)
  • Location of Protein modification (N-linked glycosylation continued and phosphorylation of mannose
    groups (M6P) for protein targeting to lysosomes)
  • discovered by Camillo Golgi (1898)

Q

cis-Golgi network (CGN)

A
  • consists of complex, interconnected network of tubules and vesicles adjacent to ERES
  • located at cis face of Golgi complex
  • initial destination of COPII transport vesicles from ERES
  • serves as a ‘sorting station’…:
  • destination (‘acceptor’ compartment) of COPII vesicles coming ‘forward’ (anterograde transport) from ERES to CGN
  • site of COPI vesicle assembly for transport ’back’ (retrograde
    transport) from CGN to ER
  • ‘forward’ (anterograde) transport as CGN matures into next subcompartment of Golgi complex (i.e., CGN → cis cisternae)
  • destination of COPI vesicles moving ‘back’ (retrograde transport) from next subcompartment of Golgi complex (
    cis cisternae) to CGN

Q

Golgi Cisternae (cis, medial and
trans)

A
  • series of three or more large, flattened cisternae (makes up most of the golgi)
  • main sections: cis, medial and trans cisternae
  • sites of Golgi metabolism (synthesis of complex polysaccharides used for cell wall and modification (glycosylation) of proteins/lipids & phosphorylation of mannose units in lysosomal-destined proteins)
  • Golgi cisternae act as ‘assembly line’ in N-linked glycosylation:
  • core oligosaccharides on proteins moving through Golgi modified sequentially (in various ways) by different enzymes in
    each subcompartment (cis, medial and trans Golgi cisternae possess unique glycosyltransferase and glycosidase enzymes)

  • site of clathrin coat vesicle assembly for transport ‘forward’
    (anterograde transport) from TGN to endosomes
  • site of secretory vesicle and secretory granule assembly
    for transport ‘forward’ (anterograde) to pm (secretion into
    extracellular space)
  • site of COPI vesicle assembly for transport ’back’ (retrograde)
    to Golgi trans cisternae

Q

Mannose-6-phosphate (M6P)

A
  • in cis cisternae, mannose units in core oligosaccharide(s) of soluble proteins destined for lysosomes are phosphorylated with these residues
  • N-acetylglucosamine phosphotransferase recognizes unique sequences in lysosomal-destined proteins
  • prevents lysosomal-destined proteins from being subjected to N-linked glycosylation reactions

Basically…
- proteins without this are packaged at TGN into
secretory transport vesicles/granules destined for
plasma membrane/extracellular space
(via constitutive
and regulated secretion pathways) …..or reside in Golgi
- proteins with this are packaged at TGN into clathrin-
coated transport vesicle to endosomes and then
lysosomes (via the biosynthetic pathway)

Q

Cisternal progression/maturation model

A
  • Golgi is a dynamic structure: each subcompartment continually moves (forward) fromcis to
    trans side of Golgi complex
  • Golgi complex persists ( structurally & functionally)
    because COPI transport vesicles continually move
    resident Golgi proteins ‘back’ (retrograde transport)
    to proper subcompartment

It’s essentially a constant flow of forward and backwards motion that just goes on forever lolol idk how to explain this do your own research pfft

A
  • clathrin triskelions recruited from cytoplasm self-assemble to form outer ‘scaffolding’ (cage-like lattice) of ‘coat’ on growing vesicle clathrin assembly promotes curvature (outward bending) of TGN membrane

    three ‘light’ chain polypeptides & three
    ‘heavy’ chain polypeptides

  • dynamin recruited from cytosol to connection (‘stalk’)
    between growing clathrin-coated bud and TGN membrane

    (scission) of nascent vesicle
24
Q

27
Q

    ‘empty’ M6P receptors) also traffic to
    plasma membrane
28
