endocytosis, endosomes, and lysosomes Flashcards
what happens when all the molecules are formed?
proteins, lipids and poly-saccharides are sorted into different kinds of ‘cargo’ within secretory vesicles that bud from ER
what is the process on vesicles are formed?
rough er
golgi
secretory vesicles
pm and cell exterior
what is the role of transport cargos? 1/2
collect ‘cargo’ in buds arising from the membranes of 1st organelle (‘donor’).
what is the role of transport cargos? 2/2
deliver ‘cargo’ to its destination by fusing with the membrane of the ‘target’ organelle.
HOW DO VESICLES ‘KNOW’ WHERE TO GO?
The type of vesicle coat determines where the vesicles go
how do vesicles ‘know’ which typr of cargo to carry?
Cargo-receptor proteins bind to ‘labels’ on different types of cargo to ensure that each type of vesicle contains correct cargo.
what do SNARE proteins do>
interact with cargo-receptor proteins
and
cover vesicle surface with correct type of Vesicle Coat
in exocytosis how is docking achieved?
Rab proteins tether the two membranes together
in excyotsis what proteins is needed
[Ca2+ sensor]
what happens in excyotis once it reaches the cell?
When secretory vesicle membrane becomes part of PM, the vesicle contents are lost out of the cell.
what is a constitutive pathway?
Continuous budding of vesicles from TGN.
explain constitutive pathway more?
Supplies newly-made lipids/proteins to PM
what is a regulated pathway?
when cell is stimulated by extracellular signal to produce large quantities of a particular product (e.g. hormones
