24
cadherins
proteins that extend from cell into EC space and bond to other cadherins
25
tight junctions
forms when the EC surfaces of 2 adjacent PMs join together so there is no space b/t them
26
gap junction
consists of protein channels linking the cytosols of adjacent cells (ex: muscle cells)
27
nucleus
storage + transmission of genetic information, contains nuclear pores and envelope
28
chromatin
threads formed by DNA, becomes chromosomes when coiled and condensed during cell division
29
ribsomes
protein factories
30
rough (granulated) ER
network of flattened sacs, proteins synthesized on the ribosomes enter the RER from which they are distributed to other organelles/secreted
31
smooth (ungranulated) ER
branched tubular network, contains enzymes for fatty acid + steroid synthesis, stores and releases Ca2+
32
golgi apparatus
flattened membrane sacs that concentrates, modifies, and sorts proteins arriving from RER via vesicles to other organelles
33
endosomes
of membrane-bound vesicular and tubular structures that lie b/t plasma membrane and GA
34
mitochondria
correlated with transfer of energy from chemical bonds to new ATP
35
lysosomes
contains digestive enzymes and break down bacteria and dead cell debris
36
peroxisomes
consume molecular oxygen to remove hydrogen from organic molecules
37
cytoskeleton
maintains and changes cell shape + produce cell movements
37
38
actin filament
monomers in cytoskeleton, comes from G-actin subunit
39
intermediate filament
twisted strands in cytoskeleton that contribute to cell shape + anchor nucleus, comes from several proteins
40
microtubules words
-comes from centrosome, surrounds centrioles -cilia: hair-like extensions on cell surfaces with a central core of microtubules organized in a pattern similar to centrioles
41
microtubule filament
composed of TUBULIN and provides framework to maintain shape
42
transcription
mRNA synthesis
43
translation
protein synthesis
44
splisosomes
RNA splicing of INTRONS to allow for exons sequence to be continuous + splicing of the ends of the axons to form mRNA
45
protein assembly steps:
1) initiation: tRNA binds to small r-subunit --> initiation complex, then large subunit binds, enclosing mRNA between both subunits
46
elongation
protein is elongated by successive addition of amino acids
47
secretion of proteins:
1) mRNA binds to ribosmes 2) polypeptide chain enters lumen of RER 3) signal sequence is enzymatically removed from completed poly-peptide 4) protein is further modified in golgi apparatus 5) then packaged into a secretory vesicle that undergoes exocytosis
48
ubiquitin
proteins can be targeted for degradation by binding to peptide
49
ligand
any molecule/ion bound to a protein by a) electrical attractions b) weaker attractions binds to BINDING SITES
50
allosteric modulation
when proteins have 2 binding sites, the non-covalent binding of a ligand to one site can alter the shape of the 2nd binding site
51
covalent modulation
covalent bonding of charged groups to some of protein's side chains, therefore altering shape/activity of protein (ex: phosphorylation)
52
proteases
enzymes that are specialized to break proteins down into smaller polypeptides and amino acids (breaking down is PROTEOLYSIS)
53
proteins that are to be secreted or become integral membrane proteins contain a signal sequence in first 15-30 amino acids provide a ______
recognition signal
54
characteristics of enzymes
-undergoes no net chemical change -specificity, affinity, competition, saturation -can increase in both forward and reverse rates of a chemical reaction -enzyme lowers activation energy of a reaction but doesn't change net amount of energy added to reactants
55
glycolysis (cytosol)
breaks carbs into pyruvate or lactate
56
pyruvate oxidation (mitochondria)
converts pyruvate to acetyl coA
57
krebs cycle (mitochondrial membrane)
use acetyl coA to generate H-bearing enzymes like carbon dioxide and coenzymes to generate ATP in the electron transport chain
58
oxidative phosphorylation (mitochondria matrix)
uses oxygen and H-bearing enzymes to produce ATP
59
how much ATP does each cycle make?
glycolysis: technically 4, but 2 are consumed so 2 net ATP PO: none krebs cycle: 2 ATP OP: 32-34 total: 36-38
60
cofactor
substance that binds to a specific site of enzyme that is necessary for enzyme's activity
61
coenzyme
organic non-protein molecule that carries chemical groups between enzymes
62
glycogen ----> glucose 6-phosphate
glycogenolysis
63
glucose 6-phosphate ----> glycogen
glycogenesis
64
gluconeogenesis
formation of glucose in liver/kidneys from non-carb precursors -pathway 1: from pyruvate --> oxaloacetate --> phosphoenolpyruvate -pathway 2: glycerol enters pathway at level 4 and reverses
65
beta oxidation
a series of reactions with fatty acids which splits off a molecule of acetyl coA from the end of FA and transfers to pairs of H atoms to it.
66
oxidative deamination
removal of an amino group gives that results in ammonia and an oxygen atom derived from water to form a keto acid
67
transamination
removal of amino group by transferring amino group from amino acid to keto acid
