Endosome- Lysosome System and Cell Digestion Flashcards
Accumulation of GM2
Tay-Sachs Disease
In vivo, whole areas of tissue are affected. Necrosis or apoptosis.
Necrosis
- Treatment for Gaucher Disease
- Enzyme replacement therapy- successful in alleviating non CNS symptoms
- Administer correct enzyme which has been engineered to be endocytosed by macrophages
- Enzymes delivered to lysosomes- breakdown of glucosylceramide
- Doesn’t work on types 2 and 3
Treatment of Tay- Sachs Disease
- ERT has been unsuccessful
- The blood-brain barrier makes access difficult
- Neurons are not phagocytic
Gene symbol: GNPTAB
Mucolipidosis IIa/B (I- Cell Disease)
Transcytosis is crucial to maintaining cell __________
Polarity
_____________ is an anti-apoptotic protein which inhibits release of _______ from mitochondria
Bcl-2; Cytochrome c
Is LDL good or bad cholesterol?
Bad
Vesicular trafficking delivers contents of _______________ to target organelles.
Vesicle
In this type of cell death, the process is rapid and uses intracellular enzymes, and leaves no trace
Apoptosis
During _______, apoptosis removes webs between fingers and toes or neurons which make the wrong connections
Morphogenesis
Transcytosis (IgA) pathway
- IgA dimerizes
- IgA dimers bind to IgA receptor
- IgA and receptor complex internalized
- Clathrin coated vesicles forms
- Clathrin coat falls off
- Early endosome fuses with CRE
- IgA and receptor “recycled” to apical membrane
- Receptor clipped by enzyme to release IgA molecules
How does the H+ ATPase pump impact lysosomes?
It helps to maintain a low pH by pushing H+ ions into the lysosome
What are some come symptoms of lysosomal storage disorders?
Neuropathies, kidney disease, bone malformations, muscle diseases, and general failure to thrive
Mucolipidosis IIa/B (I- Cell Disease)
Adds mannose-6-phosphate to lysosomal enzymes
Cellular swelling. Necrosis or apoptosis
Necrosis
Some intermediates in fatty acid oxidation act as ____________ molecules
Signaling
Mutations of p53 protein are common in what type of disease?
Cancer
Cell is phagocytosed, no tissue reaction. Necrosis or apoptosis.
Apoptosis
Trafficking of Lysosomal Hydrolases (Pathway)
- Manose 6-phosphate moiety added to hydrolases in Golgi
- Enzymes partitioned into clathrin coated vesicles by M6P receptor
- Clathrin Coated vesicles bud off trans Golgi network and fuse with late endosomes
- At lower pH, hydrolases dissociate from the M6P receptors
- Empty receptors are recycled to the Golgi for further rounds of transport
What happens in necrosis?
- Cellular contents spill into the surrounding tissues
- Inflammation develops
What process takes place in internal apoptosis?
Release of cytochrome c activates a caspase cascade
LDL Endocytosis PATHWAY
- LDL binds to its receptor
- LDL and receptor are internalized
- Clathrin coated vesicles forms
- Clathrin coat falls off
- Early endosome fuses with the Sorting Early Endosome
- LDL dissociates from its receptor
- LDL traffiscked to Late Endosome and lysosome
- LDL receptor recycled back to plasma membrane
DNA fragmentation is random. Necrosis or apoptosis.
Necrosis
