organelles Flashcards
(33 cards)
cytosol organelle dfn
- cellular fluid which bathes biologically active structures
- biologically active structures found within a cell ( little organs )
list organelles
ribosome endoplasmic reticulum Golgi body peroxisomes proteasome lysosomes mitochondria secretory granules inclusions
ribosome structure and function and location
- small non-membrane bound structres with subunits
- site of amino acids from tRNA assemble into polypeptides following sequence on mRNA
- found in cytosol or bound to rER
structure of ribosomes subunit
- small subunit - rRNA core and 30 peripheral proteins
- large - 3 rRNA and 50 peripheral
function of rRNA in ribosome
- makes up core of subunit
- provide structural support
- catalyze protein synthesis
formation of ribosomes
-ribosomal proteins made in cytoplasm, move to nucleus becomes associated with rRNA in nucleolus ( becomes assembled ) and move out of nucleus
polyribosomes and fate of protein made depending on site
- multi functional ribosomes on the same strand of mRNA
- if made in cytosol the proteins are for cytoskeleton or organelles
-if made in rER then sent to Golgi body
1 secretion
2 lysosome formation
3 incorporate into membrane
staining nature of ribosomes and prominent in what type of cells
- basophilic
- in secretory cells eg pancreatic cells
Endoplasmic reticulum structure and location
membrane network contiouns with outer memebrane of nucleus ( found near nucleus ) folded up enclosing channels called cisternae
rER structure, function, location and characteristics
-prominent In secretory cells
-flattened parallel membranes enclosing cisternae
-has bound polysomes
-makes membrane proteins, secretory proteins and lysosmal proteins
-stores newly synthised molecules
-transport of molecules through cisternae sequerested from cytoplasm
-posttranslational modification of proteins
-ensures proper folding of proteins via chaperones
-
sER structure, function, haracteristics and location
- continuous with rER
- no bound polysomes ( not basophilic )
- enzymes in sER make phospholipids and steroids
- detoxify harmful substances via hydroxylation ( adding OH to drug making it more water soluble, prominent in liver )
- stores and release Ca2+ ions vital in muscles contraction ( called sacroplamsic reticulum )
how do phospholipids move away from sER
1 lateral diffusion
2 lipid carrier molecules
3 vesicles from sER
How a protein is segregated into rER
- protein synthesis begins in cytosol and if a peptide is to be rER segregated 5 end of mRNA encodes signal sequence ( 15-40 aas hydrophobic region )
- signal peptide is bound by signal recognition particle ( SRP ) wc binds to SRP receptor on ER.
- Ribosome receptor on ER membrane firmly holds ribosomes in place.
- SRP released and peptide translocates into rER via translocon ( protein translocator complex pore )
- signal peptide removed by signal peptidase and peptide grows and continually segregated into ER by translocation pore and chaperones pulling on it
What does SRP do
Inhibits further peptide elongation
Golgi body structure, functiona and location
- smooth membranes sacs enclosing cistane. Not connected
- near nucleus
- site of post translational modifications of rER proteins and sorting and packing and synthesis of lysosomes
In rER of protein synthesis
- new peptides translocate to Cisternae of rER
- Proteins folded ( guides by chaperone )
- disulfide bonds formed between cysteine last
- preassembled ohliosaccharide added to asparagine ( N linked )
In cis Golgi network
- mannose-6-phosphate added to future lysosome hydrolase
- N linked ogliosaccharide trimmed and other sugars added
Transport proteins between Golgi and rER
- COP 2 towards Golgi
- COP 1 retrograde
Medial Golgi network
- n linked ogliosaccharides modified
- glycoproteins and glycolipids sorted into specific vesicles
- glycosylation of serine and threonine
Trans Golgi body
- specific vesicles sorted and separated
- sialic acid added as terminal sugar to certain ogliosaccharides
- sulfation of tyrosine
- vesicles sent to membrane for incorporating or secretion
- lysosomal proteins packed into vesicle which is released as lysosome
Secretory granules function and structure
- made in Golgi body
- granules surrounded by membrane
- store Golgi products until release signaled ( regulated secretion eg via hormones )
Zymogen granules
-secretory granules with dense content of digestive enzymes
Lysosome function and structure and were prominent and were made
- spherical membrane bound sites of intracellular digestion
- prominent in phagocytotic cells
- synthesis in rER and packed then release by Golgi
Marker for lysosomes
-mannose-6-phosphate added to n liked ogliosaccharides of hydrolases made by rER
