cell biology Flashcards
diseases of faulty cell membranes
cystic fibrosis, duchenne muscular dystrohohy, spherocytosis
make up the bulk of membrane lipid
phospholipid, sterol
purpose of cholesterol in membrane
stiffens membrance, reduces permeability, resists phase change
purpose of glycoplipids
protection, cell id, cell adhesion
flips phospholipids randomly in ER
scramblase
flips phospholipid specifically
Flippase
maintains a neg charge inside and flips to outside to signal apoptosis
phosphatidyl serine
lipids and proteins in domains with longer tails, involved in signaling
lipid rafts
membrane proteins that are transmembrane
alpha helices and beta barrels
membrane proteins associated with sugar groups
glycocalyx
signal for ER association
ER signal sequence
recognizes the ER signal sequence
signal recognizing protein
translocater
allows protein to be synthesized into the membrane
orientation of this determines whether the protein is single or multi pass
start/stop sequences
glycosylation links one of these places
N (asparagine) or O-linked (attach at serine or threonine)
heavily glycosylated proteins
proteoglycans
where O linked glycosylation occurs
Golgi or extracellualr matrix
function of glycosylation of protein
protein folding, sorting & transport, protection, cell signal
fate of misfolded proteins
ubiquinated
these destroy misfolded proteins
proteosomes
location of phospholipid and cholesterial synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum
regulate ER
Ca++
location of detoxification by whom
Smooth ER by cytochrome p450 enzymes
mitochondria reproduce via this method
fission and fusion
mitochondria membrane contains a lot of this
cardiolipin
how motichondrial genes get into the mito
signal sequence routes them
function of peroxisomes
produce and remove peroxides, detox, beta oxidation of fa
acts as protection of chromatin
nucleur envelope
membrane of these 2 organelles are continous
ER and membrane
provides attacehment sites for specific spots on chromosomes
nuclear matrix
