example on segrating metabolic processes ?
1 - separate glycolysis from glycogenesis.
2 - separate synthesis of protien bonds from hydrlysis of protien bonds
what is protein sorting ?
it is the process of transfering proteins from the compartment where they are made to the compartment where they are used
protein sorting depends on what ?
on signals built into the amino acid sequence of the proteins
what is the most prominent organelle in eukaryotic cells ?
The nucleus
what is nuclear envelope ?
a double membrane that surround the nucleus which have pore structure on its surface
how the nucleus communicates with cytosol ?
via nuclear pores that perforate the envelope
what is the major site of synthesis of new membranes in the cell ?
endoplasmic reticulum (ER),
what is the different between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum ?
the rough one have ribosomes attached to the cytosolic surface
what is the functions of the smooth ER ?
1- , it is the site of steroid hormone synthesis in some endocrine cells
2- the site where a variety of organic molecules, including alcohol, are detoxified in liver cells
when is The signs and symptoms of Zellweger syndrome typically appear ?
during the newborn period
what is The signs and symptoms of Zellweger syndrome ?
poor muscle tone
seizures
poor feeding
hearing loss,
vision loss
distinctive facial features,
skeletal abnormalities
there is no cure ):
Zellweger syndrome is caused bywhat ?
mutationsin any one of at least 12genes
; mutations in thePEX1gene are the most common
How is the disease inherited?
in anautosomal recessivemanner.
what PEX1gene provides ?
provides instructions for making a protein called (pex1) protein which is part of a group of proteins called peroxins
what is the function of the peroxins ?
for the formation and normal functioning of peroxisomes .
what is Leukodystrophies ?
a group of rare, progressive, metabolic, genetic diseases that affect the brain, spinal cord and often the peripheral nerves
: PBD-ZSS is caused bymutationsin one of 13 PEXgenesencoding peroxins.
فهم
PBD-ZSS isa group ofinheritedgenetic disorders that damage the white matter of the brain and affect motor movements
فهم
Ribosomes that are translating proteins with no ER signal sequence remain free in the cytosol.
Ribosomes that are translating proteins containing an ER signal sequence (red) on the growing polypeptide chain will be directed to the ER membrane
فهم
why they called coated vesicles ?
cuz they bud from membranes usually have a distinctive protein coat on their cytosolic surface
The coat serves at least two functions ?
- it helps shape the membrane into a bud
. captures molecules for onward transport.
Clathrin triskelions, composed of what ?.
3 heavy chains and 3 light chains, are the basic subunits of the clathrin coat
what is dynamin ?
A small GTP-binding protein
work as a ring around the neck of each deeply invaginated coated pit. Together with other proteins causes the ring to constrict which pinching off the vesicle
. There are different types of adaptins reflecting the differences in the cargo molecules to be transported from each of these sources.
