Intracellular Trafficking Flashcards
Proteins being translated on membrane bound ribosomes and then translocated into the ER lumen describes
Co-translational translocation
Synthesis of all proteins begins?..
On free ribosomes
Proteins being translated on free ribosomes and then trans located into the ER lumen describes?
Post-translational translocation (more commonly in yeast)
Define intracellular trafficking?
Movement of material, mainly proteins, from compartment to compartment within the cell and to and from the external environment via membrane bound vesicles.
Non selective endocytosis that forms vesicles with extra cellular fluid and its contents.
Fluid phase endocytosis
Ligand binds with a receptor along the cell membrane
Receptor mediated endocytosis.
Clathrin has a role in both endo- and exo-cytosis. What is it?
Coats pits involved in selective endocytosis
Coats secretory vesicles of regulated pathway for exocytosis
The process of removing the Clathrin coat immediately after the release of the new vesicle into the cytoplasm requires what?
ATP and Hsp70 (heat shock protein)
This type of coatamer coat vesicles transported from ER to CGN
Cop II
Cop I coatamers coat vesicles transported between?…
Golgi stacks
Vesicle fusion is a two step process. What are the steps?
1) recognition of the appropriate membrane
snare-v and snare-t
2) fusion of the vesicle and target membrane.
* NSF
* SNAPS
List the 8 sequence of events in a vesicle docking
Biggest crock of shit thus far
1) removal of the vesicle coat
2) binding of synapsins and spectrin
3) snare v binds to snare v
4) snap binds to snare
5) NSF bind to snap
6) NSF/snap complex disassembles snare for reuse
7) release of NSF and snap from snare
8) initiation of calcium dependent membrane fusion
* requires fusigen
Proteins that are destined for export from the cell or are destined to be stored in lysosomes utilize the following pathway?…
Free ribosomes> RER> Golgi> secretory vesicles or lysosomes.
What’s the first part of the protein to be synthesized?
The signal sequences consisting of 20 amino acids and includes a stretch of hydrophobic residues
What’s the role of the signal sequence?
To direct the ribosomes to attach to the ER membranes.
What attaches to the signal sequence to prevent any further elongation?
A signal recognition particle (SRP) made up of six proteins and a 7s segment of RNA.
When does protein elongation resume?
Once the SRP docks with its like receptor, the signal sequence is inserted in the translocon membrane channel where it is released following cleavage of the signal sequence by a signal peptidase.
What is a translocon?
three transmembrane protein complex.
What does HSP (70) function in? And what is another name they go by?
HSP (70) keeps the polypeptide chain unfolded so the signal can enter the channel.
Protects the cell from high temperature
Directs folding of proteins
Chaperone protein
Clathrin consists of what kind of subunits to form geometric shapes?
Triskelion
BiP aids in what? And they are a type of what kind of protien?
The folding and assembly of multisubunit proteins.
Heat shock protein
The sugar chain, which is linked by (?), to the asparagine residue was initially attached to the luminal face of the ER by (?)
N-linked glycosylation
A lipid carrier dolichol phosphate
The cytoplasm of the ER consists of two compartments?…
Luminal (endoplasmic) compartment
Cytoplasmic (cytosolic) compartment
The ER is divided into three compartments. What are they and their function?
Smooth ER- detoxifies toxins and for lipid synthesis. Without ribosomes on the cytoplasmic face
Rough ER- synthesis of proteins. Has ribosomes on the cytoplasmic face
Transitional ER- where vesicles exit to the Golgi apparatus
This leaflet faces the cytoplasm of the cell
Protoplasmic leaflet
This leaflet faces the lumen of the ER
Exocytoplasmic leaflet
