Chapter 1 rounds Flashcards
DICER
DICER trims and processes primary microRNA
RISC
RNA induced silencing complex: multiprotein aggregate assocaites with mature ss microRNA to target mRNA for cleavage and repress translation
XIST
Long noncoding RNA transcribed from x chromsome: essential in physiologic X chromosome inactivation: gene silencing
Phosphatidylserine
Inner leaflet of cell membrane, when flipped to extracellular surface cell undergoes apoptosis.
Endocytosis mechanisms
- Caveolae: plasma membrane invaginations (potocytosis)
2. Clathrin: receptor mediated endocytosis (pinocytosis)
List intermediate filaments (6)
Lamin A, B, C Vimentin Desmin Neurofilaments Flial fibrillary acidic protein Cyotkeratins
Occluding junction examples (4)
Complexes composed of transmembrane proteins:
Claudin, occludin, zonulin, catenin
Spot desmosomes function and examples
Macula adherens
Desmoglein and desmocolin (cadherins): linked to intracellualr intermediate filaments allow forces to be communicated over multiple cells
The warburg effect
upregulate glucose and glutamine cell uptake and decreased ATP per glucose molcule.
Second messenger examples (7)
Calcium cAMP cGMP inositol triphosphate Diacylglycerol arachodonic acid nitric oxide
TGF beta family proteins (4)
bone morphogenic proteins
activins
inhibins
mullerian inhibiting substances
basement membrane composition
Collagen 4 and laminin:
Fibrillar collagens (4)
type 1,2,3,5
Fibrillar collagen defects examples (2)
- osteogenesis imperfecta
2. Ehlers danlos syndrome
Adhesive glycoproteins (3)
- fibronectin
- laminin
- integrins
