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
Lysosomal delivery and degradation of intracellular organelles
Autophagy
Though these macromolecules cannot be oxidized by mitochondria, they can be oxidized by peroxisomes.
Long chain fatty acids
Peroxisomes play a major role in ___________metabolism in the cell
Lipid
Symptoms of Tay Sachs Disease
- Hypotonia
- Decreased muscle strength and spasticity leading to ataxia and paralysis
- Startle response
- Blindness
- Deafness
- Cognitive decline
- Infantile: fatal in childhood
- Juvenile: onset between 2 and 10
- Adult- onset in 30s or 40s
Ligands and receptors have different fates depending on the ____________ and trafficking route inside the cell.
Receptor
Early Endosome marker
Rab 5
Are all members of the Bcl-2 family anti-apoptotic?
No, some are pro-apoptotic
Types of endocytosis that is non-selective
- Phagocytosis
- Pinocytosis
What is vesicular trafficking?
A basic cellular process in which membrane- bound carriers bud off the donor compartment and fuse with the receipt one.
What is autophagy used for?
- Organelle removal and turnover
- A source of nutrient during “starvation”
- Degradation of long-lived, aggregated or misfolded proteins
Lysosome marker
LAMP1, LAMP2, LAMP3
Peroxisomes contain a variety of _________ enzymes, including catalase.
Oxidative

P53
Trafficking of Lysosomal Hydrolases Pathway
- Mannose-6-phospahate moiety added to hydrolases in cis Golgi.
- Enzymes partitioned into clathrin coated vesicles by M6P receptor in trans golgi
- CCVs bud off trans golgi network and fuse with late endosomes
- At lower pH, hydrolases disscoiate from the M6P receptors
- Empty receptors are recycled to the Golgi for further rounds of transport.
