Endomembrane System Part 2 - Secretory Pathways Flashcards
2 secretory pathways responsible for transporting cargo from TGN to pm/extracellular space
constitutive secretion pathway
regulated secretion pathway
gist of constitutive secretion pathway
materials are continuously transported via secretory vesicles from TGN to pm
what occurs in constitutive secretion pathway when secretory vesicles reach pm
they fuse via Rabs and SNAREs and release lumenal soluble cargo outside cell
what happens to vesicle membrane cargo components in constitutive secretion pathway
incorporated into plasma membrane
what is considered the default secretion pathway
constitutive secretion
what is the constitutive secretion pathway the pathway for
proteins not selectively sorted through biosynthetic pathway or regulated secretion
what do materials at TGN get packaged into in regulated secretion pathway
secretory granules
in regulated secretion, what occurs in response to cellular signal
granules stored in cytoplasm target to and fuse with pm and release their lumenal cargo outside cell
what pathway operates in the opposite direction of secretory pathways
endocytic pathway
gist of endocytic pathway
materials move into cell via gesticulation of pm and are either recycled back to pm or sorted to different intercellular destination
what are the 2 main processes for internalization
phagocytosis
endocytosis
gist of phagocytosis
uptake of large, particulate materials from extracellular space by specialized cells
what do FC receptors signal
reassembly of actin microfilament network
what are pseudopods
alterations in cytoskeleton that result in changes in shape of leukocyte-cell extentions
what does phagosome-lysosome fusion get blocked by
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
what are the 2 main endocytic pathway processes for internalization
bulk-phase endocytosis
receptor-mediated endocytosis
what is another term for bulk-phase endocytosis
pinocytosis
gist of bulk-phase endocytosis
non-specific uptake of extracellular fluids and plasma membrane proteins and lipids into small vesicles
with bulk-phase endocytosis, how often does the pm recycle
20-90min
gist of receptor mediated endocytosis
specific cell-surface (pm) receptor binds extracellular ligands and receptor-ligand complexes subsequently concentrated and internalized in clathrin coated transport vesicles
