Intracellular compartment & protein transport Flashcards
__________ cells contain a basic set of membrane - enclosed organelles
Eukaryotic
The ________ is the most prominent organelle in cells & is surrounded by the nuclear envelope & communitcates through its nuclear pore
Nucleus
The ____________ is the main place where new membranes are formed in the cell
Endoplasmic Retriculum (ER)
The ___________ receives proteins & lipids from the ER & modifies them & transfer thme to the desire place
Gogi Apparatus
__________ & the __________ are both the place where oxidative phosphorylation & photosynthesis occur & produce ATP
Mitochondria & the chloroplast
Endomembrane system
Consist of the ER, gogi apparatus, peroxisomes, endosomes, & lysosomes
What are the three ways proteins are transported into organelles?
- Proteins moving from the cytosol to the nucleus are transfered through the nuclear pores
- Proteins moving from the cytosol to the ER, mitchondria, or chlorplast are transported by protein translocators
- Proteins moving from the ER or from one part of the endomembrane system to another are transported by transport vesicles
The organelle that a protein is delivered to depends on its ___________ (which contains sorting signals to tell where the protein needs to be)
Amino Acid Sequence
Peroxisomes
Are small organelles that contain enzymes that break down lipids & destroy toxic molecules which produces H2O2
__________ direct proteins to the correct organelle
Singal Sequences
Nuclear Envelope
Encloses the nucleus & defines the nucleus
Nuclear Pores
Form gates within the nucleus envelope and allow molecules in or out the nucleus
Nuclear localization signal
The singal sequence that directs a proteins from the cytosol into the nucleus
Nuclear import receptors
Recognize the nuclear localization singal & helps direct the protein to a nuclear pore & into the nucleus
Proteins ________ to enter the mitochondria & chloroplast
Unfold
