Q

Where is phosphatidyl located in membrane and what happens to it during cell death?

A

Phosphatidylserine localizes to the inner leaflet
• Enzymatically transferred to the outer leaflet during programmed cell death

Q

Example of Regulated exocytosis

A

Secretory cells

  • ligand bind to receptor (stimulus)
  • then there is Ca2+ influx which allow Fusion of secretory vesicles with plasma membrane

Q

Pathway of receptor-mediated endocytosis

A

Clathrin-dependent pathway

  1. Cargo protein binds to cargo receptor.
  2. Then Clathrin molecules interact with cargo receptors via Adaptin forming clathrin coated pit.
  3. Vesicle formation
  4. Dynamin mediates the vesicle pinching-off from the plasma membrane
  5. Clathrin and adaptins are recycled

Q

Examples of Receptor recycled, ligand degraded (Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis)

A
  • Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor
  • Insulin-glucose transporter receptor
  • Other peptide hormones & their receptors
18
Q

Examples of Receptor and, ligand recycled (Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis)

A
  • Iron, transferrin & transferrin receptor

* Major histocompatibility complex I & II

19
Q

Examples of Receptor and, ligand degraded (Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis)

A

• Epidermal growth factor (EGF) & receptor

20
Q

Examples of Receptor and, ligand transcytosis (Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis)

A
  • Secretion of immunoglobulins (secretory IgA) into saliva

* Secretion of maternal IgG into milk

21
Q

Pathway of vesicle targeting using Rab-GTPase

A

1.Rab-GRPase interact with vesicle.
2. RabGTPase interact with tethering proteins, immobilizing the vesicle near target membrane.
3. Rab-GTPase and receptor immobilize
the vesicle near target membrane, forming docking complex.
4. v-snare which is vesicle specific interact with t-snare which is target specific, forming cis-snare complex, opening up the vesicle.

22
Q

Difference between early and late endosome

A

Early endosome
• Functions to sort and recycle proteins

Late endosome
• Receives proteins for degradation
• Receives newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes from the Golgi
• Matures into a lysosome

23
Q

3 types of endocytosis

A
  1. Receptor-mediated
    • Cargo-specific
    • Clathrin-dependent
  2. Pinocytosis
    • Non-specific
    • Clathrin-independent
  3. Phagocytosis
    • Clathrin-independent
    • Actin-dependen
