Q

how does co-translation of proteins occur in eukaryotes

A

1) SRP binds to the signal sequence and translation pauses
2) SRP guides the signal sequence to the SRP receptor at the ER
3) SRP and SRP receptor released
4) translation drives translocation
- signal sequence cleaved by signal peptidase
- ribosome components recycled

Q

how is a COPII vesicle formed

A

1) ) Sar1-GDP binds to a Sar1-GEF at the ER
2) Sar1 binds GTP → Sar1 exposes amphiphilic helix
3) Sar1 inserts into ER membrane
4) Sar1 binds COPII adaptor coat proteins (Sec23/24)
5) COPII coat protein complex (Sec13/31) binds
6) Transmembrane proteins recruited → membrane deforms
7) Membrane pinches off

17
Q

how is the ER selective

A

unfolded proteins are retained in the ER
ER uses exit signals or happens by default bulk flow

18
Q

what is fired if vesicles fuse

A

form vesicular tubular clusters which are transported along microtubules to the cis golgi

19
Q

what is a RAB protein

A

was associated building protein

20
Q

what is a G protein

A

guanine nucleotide binding protein

21
Q

what is a SNARE

A

snap receptor - v-snares on vesicles and t-snares on target membrane

22
Q

what is snap

A

soluble NSF attachment protein

23
Q

what is NSF

A

N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor

24
Q

how many rap proteins are there

A

more than 60

25
Q

how are COP1 vesicles formed

A

1) KDEL signal recognised by the KDEL receptor
2) COPI coat assembles on KDEL receptor
3) Coat disassembles from vesicle
4) Vesicle transports back to ER
5) ER resident proteins released at the ER

26
Q

what is the cis golgi function

A
  • sorting of proteins and lipids to the ER and golgi cisterna
  • phosphorylation of oligosaccharides on lysosomal proteins
27
Q

what is the trans golgi function

A
  • sorting of proteins and lipids to the golgi cisterna, endosomes, secretory vesicles, cell surface and lysosomes
  • sulfation of tyrosines and carbohydrates
28
Q

where to Cathrin coated vesicles go to and from

A

golgi —> late end-some
cell surface —> early endosome
early endosome —-> golgi

29
Q

what is constitutive secretion

A

proteins with no specific targeting signal are secreted on the cell surface eg. plasma membrane proteins and soluble proteins

30
Q

what is regulated secretion

A

vesicles can pack and retain specific cargo until signalled for release eg. neurotransmitter secretion and hormones

31
Q

what are clostridial neurotoxins

A

cut SNARES and SNAP-25

32
Q

what causes congenital muscular dystrophy

A

BET1 deficiency or mutation which reduces COPII vesicle fusion which reduces muscle formation

33
Q

what are the symptoms of congenital muscular dystrophy

A
  • low muscle tone or floppiness
  • respiratory problems
  • tightness of the ankles, knees and elbows
  • eye problems
  • learning difficulties
34
Q

what causes crania-lenticulo-sutural dysplasia

A
  • autosomal recessive syndrome
  • SEC23A mutation —> abnormal ER to golgi trafficking which causes late closing fontanels and facial dymorphisms
35

A
  • surface receptors detect cargo
  • pseudopod extensions with actin - PI(4,5)P2 stimulates actin polymerisation, PI(3,4,5)P3 Depolymerizes actin filaments
    at the base
  • engulf large partciles forming phagosome
  • phagosome fuses with lysosome
  • material is digested
