Q

How are proteins transported between the ER and golgi?

A

Proteins in the lumen of one organelle are packaged into budding transport vesicles, then released to the lumen of the recipient organelle

topology is maintained

Q

What is O-linked Glycosylation?

Study These Flashcards
A

Carbohydrate addition ot serine and threonine in the Golge

21
Q

What happens to proteins that are destined to stay in the Golgi?

Study These Flashcards
A

They are associated with the membrane and contain signals that prevent packaging and transport

22
Q

What are the three routes that transport from the Golgi to the cell surface can occur?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Direct transport
  • Recycling endosomes
  • Regulated secretory pathways
23
Q

What is regulated release and what types of molecules are regulated this way?

Study These Flashcards
A

Contents are stored in granules until signals direct their fusion with the PM

Hormones and neurotransmitters

24
Q

What is the function of COPII-coated vesicles?

Study These Flashcards
A

Carry proteins forward from the ER–>ERGIC–>Golgi

25
What is the function of COPI-coated vesicles?
Bud from ERGIC or Golgi and carry their cargo backwards to earlier compartments
26
What is the function of clatherin-coated vesicles?
transport in both directions between the trans Golgi network, endosomes, lysosomes, and PM
27
What is the KDEL sequence?
Tags ER-resident soluble proteins for return to the ER by COPI vesicles
28
What is the role of Mannose 6-phosphate?
Tags soluble lysosomal enzymes and secreted lysosomal enzymes for transport to lysosomes via Clatherin coated vesicles
29
What are ARF1 and Sar1?
Small GTP-binding proteins that regulate the formation of coated vesicles
30
How are clatherin-coated vesicles formed?
- GEF activates ARF1 - ARF binds an adaptor protein - The adaptor protein binds the cargo - Clatherin binds to the adaptor protein
31
What mediates interaction between transport vesicles and target membranes?
Tethering factors Rab proteins (small-GTP binding porteins)
32
What three things drive membrane fusion?
vSNARES tSNARES Dynamin
33
How do vesicles dock?
Active Rab proteins bind membrane tethering factors Tethering factors bind coat proteins and the coat is removed.
34
How do vesicles fuse?
The membranes are pulled together and fused via vSNARES and tSNARES interacting
35
What is the mechanism of vSNARE and tSNARE interaction?
SNARE proteins have a central coiled-coil domain Responsible for zipping the two SNARES together
36
What are lysosomes?
membrane-enclosed organelles containing enzymes to break down all types of biological polymers
37
What are lysosomal storage diseases?
Diseases that result from mutations in lysosomal enzymes undegraded material accumulates in the lysosomes
38
Most lysosomal enzymes are...?
Acid Hydrolases active at pH 5
39
What is the significance of lysosomal enzymes only being active at pH 5?
Prevents cell contents digestion if the lysosome membrane breaks down
40
How does material for digestion get into the cell?
Endocytosis
41
How are lysosomes formed?
When transport vesicles fuse with a late endosome
42
What two pathways intersect at endosomes?
Secretory and endocytic pathways
43
What is the function of early endosomes?
Fuse with endocytic vesicles from PM Separate molecules for recycling from molecules destined for degradation in lysosomes
44
What is the function of recycling endosomes?
Serve as a site for molecules that are to be transported back to the plasma membrane
45
What is the function of late endosomes?
Carry molecules to be degraded by lysosomes
46
What happens during the maturation of late endosomes?
Transport vesicles carrying acid hydrolases fuse with late endosomes, forming lysosomes
47
What are phagolysosomes?
Specialized lysosomes in phagocytic cells
48
What is autophagy?
Digestion of the cell's own components
49
What normal roles does autophagy play?
Nutrient starvation - reutilized nonessential cellular components Apoptosis
