Q

Where do secreted proteins from class D sec genes accumulate

A

golgi

17
Q

What genes did Novick and Schekman miss?

A

genes involved in transport to endosome or vacuole, redundantly functioning genes

18
Q

Where is the decision made to traffic to surface or lysosome

A

TGN

19
Q

What is endocytosis

A

PM invaginates into the cell - vesicle production that fuses with endosome

20
Q

Endocytosis functions

A

down-regulation of signals, remodelling cell surface composition

21
Q

What is the first stage of endocytosis

A

PM to endocytic vesicle

22
Q

What is the last stage of endocytosis

A

late endosome to golgi or vacuole

23
Q

What is important in yeast endocytosis

A

actin cytoskeleton

24
Q

What is the major function of lysosomes

A

degradation of extracellular material

25
Q

What do lysosomes contain

A

degradative/proteolytic enzymes

26
Q

What is carboxypeptidase

A

vacuolar enzyme

27
Q

where is carboxypeptidase transported from

A

ER to golgi

28
Q

How is carboxypeptidase sorted

A

by receptors

29
Q

What does the transport step of sorting require

A

cytoplasmic factors

30
Q
