Q

3 topological compartmentalization

A

1) nucleus and cytosol: communicate through nuclear pores
2) organelles in the secretory and endocytic pws (golgi a., ER, endosomes and lysosomes) communicate through vesicles (these organelles are considered topologically equivalent)
3) mitochondria

Q

Topologically equivalent organelles

A

Theisen’s slide

“membrane budding and fusion allows the lumen of these compartments to communicate with each other and with the cell exterior”

Q

ER: consists of what components and what compartments

A

cisternae (flat stacks), tubules, vesicles, divides the cytoplasm into two compartments:

luminal or cisternal compartment
cytoplasmic or cytosolic compartment

synthesizing, packaging, processing

Q

Rough ER

A

parallel sacs of flat, elongated cisternae, studded with ribosomes

  1. where proteins are synthesized and modified
  2. proteins are segregated for intracellular use AND
  3. proteins are segregated for export from the cell

cells designed for secretion have lots of rough ER

Q

Protein synthesis: explain how ribosomes attach to the endoplasmic reticulum

A

ribosomes attach to the ER under the guidance of the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide they’re synthesizing

Q

Signal sequence

A

at the beginning of the polypeptide there is a SRP that directs newly synthesizing peptides into the ER cisternae

it is eventually removed

Q

two kinds of coated vesicles in golgi transport systems

A

clathrin and COP coated

20
Q

clathrin coated vesicles

A

transport products from the golgi apparatus to lysosomes or products from the exterior of the cell to lysosomes

21
Q

COP coated vesicles

A

coating protein

transporting products between stacks of the golgi apparatus (COPI) and between ER and Golgi-cis (COPII)

22
Q

retrograde and anterograde travel

A

anterograde is between stacks

retrograde is from stacks to the golgi

23
Q

Clathrin assembly and function

A

three protein chains
clathrin connected to an adaptin, an M6P receptor to M6P

seen in exocytosis/secretory and endocytosis pathway

in the endocytosis pathway, vesicles start at the plasma membrane

24
Q

Clathrin in the endocytic PW

A

vesicles start at the plasma membrane as clathrin coated pits: clathrin connects to adaptin.

25
Q

Dynamin disorders

A

dynamin 2: mutations in gene results in two congentical neuromuscular disorders

  1. Charcot Marie Tooth disease, affects myelination and peripheral nerve conduction
  2. Centronuclear myopathy: characterized by a progressive and generalized atrophy of skeletal muscles, yet it is also associated with abnormalities in the nervous system
