Lecture 8 Flashcards
(32 cards)
Groups of the Endomembrane system
- Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Golgi Apparatus
- Endosomes
- Lysosomes
- Peroxisomes
General functions of Endomembrane system
- Regulate protein trafficking
- Metabolism
Top 3 percentage of volume in the cell
- Cytosol
- Mitchondria
- Endoplasmic Reticulum
Two types of vesicle transport
- Budding
- Fusion
Budding
- Bud from donor membrane compartment
- Move via motor proteins
Fusion
Fuse with membrane of acceptor compartment
Pathways of the Endomembrane system
- Biosynthetic pathway (secretory pathway)
- Endocytic pathway
Biosynthetic Pathway
- Proteins are synthesized in the ER
- Packaged in Golgi
- Transported to various destinations
Endocytic pathway
- Materials moves from outer surface of cell compartments
Constituive secretion
- Materials are transportes in secretory vesicles
- Discharged continuously
- Formation of ECM, plasma membrane
Regulated secretion
- Materials stored / secreted in secretory granules
- Discharged in response to stimulus
- Pancreatic enzymes
- Controlled
- Neurotransmitters
Difference between constitutuve vs Regulated
Vesicles vs Granules
Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Continuous with membrane of nuclear envelope
- Synthesis of most lipids and proteins
What does the ER consist of
- Sac like sheets
- Branched tubules
- Cisternae space
Rough ER
- Bound ribosomes
- Helicoidal membranes connect cisternae
- Continuous with nuclear envelope
Smooth ER
- No ribosomes
- Highly tubular network
- Contunuous with Rough ER
Main functions of Smooth ER
- Steroid hormones synthesis in endocrine cells
* Gonads
* Adrenal Cortex - Detoxification of the liver
- Calcium ion sequestration, regulated release in muscle cells (sarcoplasmic reticulum)
Main function of Rough ER
Protein synthesis
2 main locations of ribosomes
- Rough ER
- Cytosol
Proteins from free polyribosomes go to
- Mitochondria
- Nucleus
- Peroxisomes
ER proteins go through
Co - Translational translocation
Signal Sequence
- 6 to 15 hydrophobic amino acid residues
- Directs nascent polypeptide + ribosome to ER membrane
Signal Recognition Particle
- Recognizes signal sequence
- Binds polypeptide + ribosome = Arrests synthesis
- Complex recruited ER membrane
- SRP receptor binds with SRP
- Translocon binds to polypeptide
- Polypeptide synthesis resumes
- Co translational translocation deposits protein to ER lumen
SRP and SRP are ____ proteins
