Cell Bio Exam 3 Flashcards
What are the 2 main parts of the vesicular transport?
Vesicle budding and fusion
Default Pathway Route
Goes from RER to Golgi to plasma membrane (PM)
2 signals required to divert from the default pathway
- Retention signals
- diversion signals
Function of Golgi Apparatus
Plays critical role in biosynthesis, sorting, dispatching, and recycling of proteins to various parts of the cell
Structure of the Golgi apparatus
From entrance to exit:
1. cis golgi network
2. cis cisterna
3. medial cisterna
4. trans cisterna
5. trans golgi network
Function of the perinuclear (aka golgi apparatus)
To remove and add sugars to glycoproteins through the action of resident glycosidases and glycotransferases
What molecules in the golgi add on sugars
glycosyltransferases
What molecules in the golgi cleave sugars?
glycosidases
What 2 parts of the golgi apparatus make up the “sorting reticulum”
- cis golgi network
- trans-golgi network
Purpose of cis-golgi network
passes proteins to the cis-golgi stack or returns them to the ER
- basically sorts what comes into the golgi
Purpose of trans-golgi network
passes proteins to the plasma membrane, lysosomes, or secretory vesicles
- sorts where proteins go after exiting the golgi
purpose of the medial golgi
this is where the glycosidase and glycosyltransferase reactions occur
Purpose of the intra-golgi
Transport vesicles
What is the rate-limiting step in protein transport and secretion?
Export from the ER
Questions that ER machinery asks
Is the protein correctly folded and assembled with other subunits
If ER detects that proteins are not correctly folded what occurs?
The denatured or unfolded protein is degraded
What occurs if the ER detects that the protein is not correctly assembled with other subunits?
If protein is still attached to BiP or other chaperones, and is actively still undergoing folding, then proteins remains in the ER
What is BiP
BiP is a heat shock protein (part of HSP70 family) found in the ER that helps protein with folding
What occurs if the ER detects that the protein is correctly folded and assembled with other subunits?
The protein will be exported by the default pathway to the cis-Golgi network
What occurs to misfolded p in the ER lumen?
A misfolded p will be moved out back through the Sec61 complex where it will bind to a N-glycanase. This will lead to ubiquitin binding to it and the p will be degraded by a proteosome
2 ER Retention Signals
- BiP
- PDI
What is the sequence for ER retention signals?
KDEL, short AA sequence
What binds to KDEL sequence
KDEL receptors present in ER and cis-Gogli
KDEL Recycling Steps
- Secretory proteins and ER resident protein receptors are moved along the default pathway from the ER to the golgi. ER resident p are also sent to golgi in separate vesicles
- ER resident p containing KDEL sequence bind to the ER p receptors in the golgi and are then recycled back to ER
- return requires use of Microtubules
Name for KDEL Retrieval Mechanism
Retrograde Transport
KKXX Sequence
sequence that is present in some membrane p that can be recycled back to ER
What happens if the KDEL Sequence is mutated
Protein will go to the cell surface and not be recycled back to ER
Proteins in Rough ER are either….
- resident
- en route to other destinations
What requirements must proteins meet before they can leave the RER?
- folded
- modified
- assembled correctly for proper function
3 molecule types that ensure that a protein is ready to leave the ER
- Chaperones
- Isomerases
- Glycosyltransferases/glycosidases
ER Chaperones
BiP (HSP 70 family member)
calnexin
calreticulin
Monoglucosylated glycoproteins
Calnexin and calreticulin are Ca dependent and help with p folding
Function of ER Chaperones
- Prevent aggregation of hydrophobic domains
and facilitate folding in ATP-dependent manner - help retain partially folded p in ER avoiding premature transit to golgi
- also facilitate translocation (similar to mt-hsp7- activity)
Function of isomerases
ex: protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)
Help form disulfide bonds to prevent p from going to golgi
Function of glycosyltransferases and glycosidases
Glycosyltransferases (adding sugars)
Glycosidases (cleave sugars)
Glycosylation Function
P in ER lumen are post-translationally glycosylated
How are Oligosaccharide Precursors Formed?
Oligosaccharides assembled from nucleotide and lipid phosphate monosaccharides in the cytosol and ER through a sequential series of transfer reactions. Precursor is first assembled on lipid carrier called dolichol
Steps of Synthesis of Oligosaccharide Precursor
On cytosol side
1. phosphorylation of dolichol by ATP hydrolysis
2. 2 nucleotide UDP-GlcNAc are added to the dolichol
3. 5 GDP-Man are added to doichol complex
4. Flipping occurs in membrane
On lumen side
5. 4 dolichol phosphate Man are added to the dolichol complex
6. 3 dolichol phosphate Glc are added to dolichol complex
What occurs after oligosaccharide precursor is assembled?
oligosaccharide is transferred to the Asn residue of a protein in the ER lumen
What catalyzes the transfer of oligosaccharide precursor to a protein?
Oligosaccharyl transferase
What complex is associated with oligosaccharyl transferase that help speed up p modifications after translocation to lumen?
Sec61 complex
What is removed from the high mannose glycan complex before it exits the ER?
terminal 3-Glc and 1-Man are removed before the complex exits ER
What occurs to the glycan complex once it reaches the golgi?
Further removal/addition of sugars using:
- glycosidases (remove)
- glycosyltransferases (add)
What are the 2 types of attachment bw oligosaccharide and Asn
N-linked or O-linked
What is the consensus glycosylation sequence
A-X-Ser/Thr
X can be any AA except Proline
What are the 2 types of oligosaccharides studied in class
- Complex oligosaccharides
- high mannose oligosaccharides
What are the 3 destinations that particles are sent to after sugar processing occurs in the golgi
- lysosome
- PM
- secretory vesicle
What are the 2 golgi structure models
- vesicular transport model
- cisternal maturation model
What is the vesicular transport model
Model that explains that golgi is static and transport vesicles ferry cargo between stacks
What is the cisternal maturation model
Model that explains that as Golgi cisternae mature, they move forward through stack
- at each stage, Golgi resident proteins carried forward are moved backward via vesicular transport
What is endocytosis
vesicular import of particulates and macromolecules
What is stored in lysosomes
acid hydrolases that are used for degradation
What hydrolases are found in lysosomes
nucleases, proteases, glycosidases, lipases, phosphatases, sulfatases, phospholipases
What is required to keep the low pH in lysosomes
The H+ pump which is a V-type ATPase that acidifies lysosome environment
What are the 4 pathways used to deliver material to the lysosome
- biosynthetic pathway from ER-golgi
- endocytic pathway from outside environment and brought into cell by endocytosis
- autophagic pathway (self destruct)
- phagocytic pathway (endocytosis in specialized cells like macrophages and neutrophils)
what synthesizes and sorts lysosomal hydrolases and membrane proteins
Golgi
How are lysosomal hydrolases and membrane proteins delivered to lysosome
delivered via transport vesicles that traffic through late endosomes
What are the 2 ways lysosomal proteins are specifically selected for delivery to late endosomes/lysosomes relative to other pathways?
lysosome hydrolases have 2 types of molecular signals
- signal patch
- M6P marker
How does a signal patch ensure that hydrolases are delivered to lysosome
A signal patch is read by glycosyltransferases in cis-Golgi that add an M6P tag to proenzymes
How does a M6P tag ensure that hydrolases are sent to lysosome
M6P is read by M6P receptors present in the trans-Golgi network then M6P bind and segregate hydrolases from the other protein traffic exiting the Golgi
Steps of hydrolase traveling to lysosome
- lysosomal hydrolase precursor from ER has M6P tag added in cis-golgi network
- precursor then travels to trans network where M6P receptors recognize the tag and bind
- Clathrin-coated transport vesicle is created and travels to late endosome (receptor dependent transport)
- Vesicle fuses with late endosome where H+ pump triggers the release of M6P tag
- M6P receptor is dissociated from precursor due to acidic pH of late endosome
- M6P receptor budding vesicle is created and recycled back to trans-golgi network
What are LAMPs
lysosome associated membrane proteins that follow the default secretory pathway to the plasma membrane
What is another name for lysosome membrane protein pathway
scavenger pathway
What path do the majority of lysosome direct proteins take to arrive at lysosome?
ER to golgi to late endosome to lysosome
What is the alternative pathways for proteins to arrive at lysosome
Lysosome membrane protein pathway
What path do proteins take in scavenger pathway
ER to golgi to PM to early endosome to late endosome to lysosome
Pathway to PM in scavenger pathways is also followed by?
small percent of hydrolases and M6P receptors
What are 2 lysosomal storage diseases that occur due to mutations
- hurler’s disease
- I-Cell disease
I stands for inclusion
What is mutated in Hurler’s disease
Lysosomal ez required for breakdown of glycosaminoglycans (ECM proteins) is missing
What is mutated in I-cell disease?
Defect in GlcNAc phosphotransferase causing there to be no M6P tag
