Endomembrane System Part 2 - Golgi Flashcards
who discovered the Golgi complex
Camillo Golgi
morphology of Golgi complex
complex/stack of flattened, membrane bound cisternae with dilated edges and numerous associated tubules and vesicles
what does the number and distribution of golgi complexes vary between
different cell types
what does the mammalian cell typically contain
one large golgi complex near centre of cell
what do plant and yeast cells typically contain
several golgi complexes located throughout cell
what does the golgi complex have due to the several subcompartments
distinct polarity both structurally and functionally
where is the cis-golgi network located
cis face of golgi complex
what does the CGN consist of
complex interconnected network of tubules and vesicles adjacent to ERES
what is the CGN the initial destination for
COPII transport vesicles from ERES
what do incoming vesicles do in the TGN
fuse to form larger vesicles and interconnected tubules
what does the CGN serve as
a sorting station
what is the CGN a destination for
- acceptor compartment of COPII vesicles coming forward from ERES to CGN (anterograde transport)
- COPI vesicles moving back from next subcompartment of golgi (retrograde transport)
what is the CGN the site of
- COPI vesicle assembly for transport back from CGN to ER (retrograde)
- forward transport as CGN matures into next subcompartment of Golgi (anterograde)
3 main sections of golgi cisternae
cis
medial
trans
what are cisternae the site for
golgi metabolism
where is the trans golgi network (TGN) located
trans face of golgi complex
what is the trans golgi network
interconnected network of tubules and vesicles
what does the TGN serve as
sorting station
what does TGN sort
forward transport as previous subcompartment of golgi matures into TGN
what is the TGN the site for
- clathrin coat vesicle assembly for anterograde transport from TGN to endosomes
- secretory vesicle and secretory granule assembly for anterograde transport to pm
- COPI vesicle assembly for transport back to golgi trans cisternae
