Chapter 8 Flashcards
What are the two main transport routes?
exocytic pathway (secretory pathway) and endocytic pathway
New proteins destined for any locations within the endocytic/exocytic pathway must be first targeted to where?
ER
What are the two ways to exit the ER?
a. to fail to fold properly, retrograde transport out to be ubiquitinated and proteasomed
b. to exit via budding into a transport vesicle
What compartments form during endocytosis?
Endosomes
Transport has to be ___________ lest the donor compartments cease to exist
bi-directional
What mechanisms return some vesicle components to the donor compartments?
Recycling mechanisms
What mechanism returns resident proteins which escaped from their donor compartments?
Salvage mechanisms
When is pulse-chase experiment used?
To experimentally show the pathway that proteins take as they move through the secretory pathway
What is regulated selection?
when cells accumulate proteins to be secreted in vesicles near the plasma membrane releasing them upon stimulation
Regulated secretion is aka
inducible secretion
What are 3 examples of regulated secretion?
a. digestive enzymes (pepsinogen, trypsinogen)
b. hormones (insulin, ADH)
c. histamine
What is constitutive secretion?
when cells continuously secrete a protein
What 4 examples of constitutive secretion?
a. immunoglobulins
b. yolk protein
c. bacterial infection-promoting proteins
d. insulin
What compartment is the most abundant membrane in most eukaryotic cells?
ER
What is Golgi apparatus made of?
Golgi stack made of cis, medial, and trans cisternae
What part of Golgi is near the entry face and what part is nearest the exit face?
cis-Golgi near the entry face
trans-Golgi near the exit face
Within the Golgi stack, what are modified sequentially to highly sialylated structures?
high mannose oligosaccharides (added to proteins in the ER)
What is the function of cis-Golgi network (CGN)?
a. receive proteins from the ER export sites
b. in QC by allowing ER resident proteins that escaped to be returned
Trans-Golgi network sorts for distribution to what 3 places?
a. lysosomes
b. plasma membrane/constitutively secreted proteins
c. regulated secretion
What are the 4 endocytosis functions?
a. internalizing of nutrients
b. regulating the cell surface expression of receptors, transporters
c. uptake, recycling of EC debris
d. recovery of membrane from the plasma membrane
What is the range from least to most degradative?
early endosome, late endosome, lysosome
What are V-ATPases?
H+ ATPases that transport protons from cytosol into the organelle lumen
Why is the acidification of early endosomes important?
for the dissociation of internalized ligand receptor complexes and recycling of cell membrane receptors to the plasma membrane
Why is the acidification of late?
endosomes important?
for the delivery of lysosomal enzymes from the trans-Golgi network (TGN)
