Q

describe mitochondrial transmembrane transport steps

A
  • each membrane has a translocator

  2. import receptor associates with a protein translocator
  3. once bound moved laterally on the outer membrane until it reaches a translocator on the inner membrane
  4. both translocators transport the proteins across both membranes, unfolding it in the process
  • chaperone proteins help with entry and re folding of the protein once inside
  1. the signal sequence is cleaved off by an enzyme in the matrix

24
Q

are the amino acids (signal sequence) part of the mature mitochondrial protein?

A

NO - cleaved off in matrix

25
Q

describe peroxisome transmembrane transport

A

peroxisome=breakdown of fatty acids

  • driven by ATP hydrolysis
  • requires at least 23 distinct proteins called Peroxins
  • proteins DO NOT need to unfold to enter
26
Q

rough vs smooth ER

A

rough ER- has membrane bound ribosomes attached and allows co-translational transport of proteins into ER lumen

smooth ER- no membrane bound ribosomes / important for budding of transport vesicles

27
Q

proteins are imported into the ER via ______

A

co-translational translocation

28
Q

describe protein transport in the ER: the ribosome cycle (8)

A
  1. cytoplasmic ribosome begins translation of mRNA
  2. SRP binds to the ribosome and signal sequence (N-terminus 7-10 hydrophobic AAs) pausing translation elongation
  3. SRP directs ribosome to the SRP receptor
  4. SRP receptor is next to a translocator, both on ER membrane
  5. N-terminal signal sequence goes in first and opens channel pore in protein translocator complex on the surface of ER and the polypeptide is translocated through this pore AS its being translated into the ER lumen
  6. signal sequence remains bound to translocator while polypeptide is threaded through as a loop but the SRP and SRP receptor dissociate from translocator
  7. signal peptidase will cleave off the signal sequence
  8. once the C-terminal end of protein is thru the translocator the protein is released
29
Q

what is the start-transfer signal of ER translocation

A

when the signal sequence opens the translocator and signals the start of translation/ threading into ER lumen

30
Q

what is the stop-transfer sequence in ER translocation

A

hydrophobic AA that causes change in translocator, halting translocation and discharging part of protein laterally into bilayer

31
Q

describe the double pass of proteins in ER translocation

A
  • don’t have N-terminal signal sequence / signal sequence is located internally

•start-transfer and stop-transfer sequences become two transmembrane domains of the protein

32
Q

5 major functions of the ER

A
  1. synthesis of transmembrane proteins
  2. synthesis of proteins secreted/delivered to lumens of ER, golgi, endosomes, lysosomes
  3. N-linked glycosylation
  4. production of all membrane lipids (SER)
  5. calcium storage
33
Q

describe vesicular transport

A

transport vesicles carry proteins from the lumen of one place to the lumen of another

endocytic & exocytic (secretory) pathways

-cargo molecules (those in lumen and membrane bound) perform budding, turn into a transport vesicles and fuse to target

34
Q

what does budding produce

A

it produces coated vesicles that are covered on their cytosolic surface by special proteins

35
Q

what are the 3 special proteins that cover the cytosolic surface of vesicles and what do they do

A
  • clathrin
  • COPI
  • COPII

they select different cargo and shape the transport vesicles

36
Q

what is clathrin

A
  • is on cargo from golgi to endosomes&lysosomes and cell membrane
  • as well as cell membrane to endosomes (endocytosis)
37
Q

what is COP1

A

when vesicles move back from golgi to ER as well as in between golgi cisternae

-as well as leaving golgi to go to cell membrane

38
Q

what is COP2

A

on vesicles from ER to golgi

39
Q

describe the formation of clathrin coated vesicles (budding)

A

cargo molecules interact with cargo receptors

  • adaptin (adaptor) molecules bind to cargo receptors and recruit clathrin
  • this forms a coated pit (a convex basket on the cytosolic surface of the membrane)
  • dynamin assembles on neck of the forming bud and destabilizes the lipid bilayers (pinching off)
  • once budding is complete (pinched off) clathrin and adaptins leave the vesicle
40
Q

transport vesicles are very ____

A

specific (specific cargo to a specific location)

41
Q

what is the process by which cargo proteins are released from transport vesicles into the ECF? (fusion) (3 steps)

A

tethering: (initial recognition)
- rab proteins on vesicle recognized by the tether protein on cytosolic surface of target membrane
- pulls vesicle to membrane

docking: (2nd level of recognition)
- v-SNARE (vesicular) and t-SNARE (target) interact / firmly docks vesicle to membrane
*v-SNARE already bound to vesicle
*t-SNARE stays bound to target membrane

  • v and t act like twist ties pulling the vesicle in even closer so the two bilayers are really close

fusion:
- once within 1.5 nm phospholipids fuse together to form a continuous bilayer

42
Q

which SNARE binds to Rab protein

A

t-SNARE

43
Q

for N-linked glycosylation (on NH2 group of _____) sugars are added _____ translation to the ____ side only

A

asparagine

during

lumen

44
Q

describe what happens to proteins when they are folded correctly vs incorrectly (UPR)

A

correctly - vesicles carrying protein bud off and head to golgi

incorrectly
-chaperones will try and refold or tagged with ubiquitin to get degraded in proteasome
- if too many misfolded proteins accumulate it causes the ER to enlarge and make more chaperones
• if they still can’t be refolded apoptosis is triggered this is the UPR (unfolded protein response)

45
Q

what does the golgi do as a secretory pathway (3)

A
  • received proteins and lipids from ER
  • glycosylation of proteins (O-linked) and lipids
  • modification/ sorting/ packaging into vesicles for delivery
46
Q

what are the 3 destinations once the golgi packages proteins and lipids

A
  1. endosomes
  2. plasma membrane
  3. extracellular fluid (ECF)
47
Q

proteins enter the ____ face of the golgi and leave out the ____ face

A

enter cis travelling from cisternae to cisternae and leave thru trans by budding off

48
Q

how are proteins recognized to go from golgi back to the ER?

A

ER retention signal ( C-terminal KDEL sequence)

49
Q

which coat proteins would be coating vesicles leaving the golgi going to the cell membrane

A

COP1 and clathrin

50
Q

two types of secretion

A

-constitutive
•all eukaryotic cells
•no signal needed
•happens all the time
•grows plasma membrane

-regulated
•only specialized secretory cells
(controlled)
•needs a signal and won’t secrete until it knows the contents are needed
• proteins will gather at plasma membrane until are needed (receive signal)

51
Q

endocytic-exocytic cycle

A

must be constant addition of new membranes to cell surface via exocytosis in order to keep cell surface area and volume constant

52
Q

endocytosis

A

transport into cell from plasma membrane
- often sorted in endosomes
-pino/phagocytosis/receptor mediated

53
Q

pinocytosis

A

(cell drinking)
- fluid and solutes ingested via pinocytic vesicles
- is continuous
clathrin coated pits -> clathrin coated vesicles

54
Q

phagocytosis

A

(cell eating)
-large particles (pathogens) ingested via large phagosomes (pseudopods-actin)
- only used by specialized phagoctytic cells
- it’s a triggered process
- fuses with lysosome and material is degraded

55
Q

receptor mediated endocytosis

A

same process as budding off from golgi (clathrin/adaptin etc)
