Q
  • If the maturation model is true, then how do the processing enzymes of the CGN stay in the appropriate cisternae?
  • What else has been suggested to exist? where? what does it do?
A
  • Retrograde transport back to the CGN from the medial cisternae via shuttle vesicles
  • In addition, an endoplasmic reticulum-golgi intermediate compartment/complex (ERGIC) has been suggested to exist, between the ER and the golgi.
    It is a site of anterograde and retrograde sorting. The ERGIC also contributes to the concentration, folding, and quality control of newly synthesized proteins

Vesicles that form from the TGN (transport vesicles)

23
Q

Three main fates (3 main types of transport vesicles)

A

1.) Give rise to secretory vesicles (constitutive or regulated)

A

digestive organelle

25
Q

Lysosome formation steps: (5)

A
  1. ) Fusion of specific transport vesicles (contain lysosomal hydrolases - inactive) & endocytic vesicles to form early endosomes.
  2. ) The early endosomes mature into late endosomes (has a full complement of inactive digestive enzymes)
  3. ) Later it matures into a lysosome (digestive enzymes are activated, due to a lowering of pH in lumen of lysosome).
  4. ) Lysosomal acidification (reduced pH) is achieved by the activity of a v-type proton pump, that pumps protons (H+) from the cytosol into the lumen of the lysosome.
  5. ) Existing lysosomes may also fuse with additional late endosomes.
