lec 8- vesicular trafficking Flashcards
what does the Cis Golgi Network do (CGN)?
functions to sort proteins for the ER or the next golgi station
what does medial cisternae do?
it is where processing takes place in the golgi
what does the trans golgi network do (TGN)?
functions in sorting proteins either to the membrane or various intracellular destinations
what gets processed in the golgi?
the N-linked oligosaccharide that was added to nearly every protein in the ER
what is not as abundant as N-linked glycoproteins?
O-linked glycoproteins, attached to a serine or threonine hydroxyl, they are abundant in extra cellular matrix
what does the glycostation do?
-participates in sorting in the trans golgi network
-limits flexibility of protruding oligosaccharide that can prevent others from arriving to protein surface
-make glycoproteins more resistant
-serves as recognition molecule in cell-cell interactions
bottom line: gives a cell the ability to generate many chemically distinct molecules at the cell surface
what is vesicular transport model and cisternal maturation model?
-cargo is shuttled from CGN to TGN
-each cistern matures as it moves from CGN to TGN
what are the functions of coated vesicles?
-cause the membrane to curve and form a vesicle
-select the components to be carried by vesicle
what is COPII-coated vesicles?
- move materials from ER “forward” to the VTC in the ERGIC and the golgi complex
what is COPI-coated vesicles?
move materials from VTC in the ERGIC and from the Golgi complex “backward” to ER or from trans golgi to cis golgi
what is VTC and ERGIC?
VTC: vesicular tubular cluster, located in endoplasmic reticulum golgi intermedidiate compartment (ERGIC)
ERGIC: is an organelle involved in mediating traffic between ER and golgi
what do coat proteins do?
involved in endomembrane transport
what do V-snare proteins do?
it is a recognizing protein
what sequence do soluble resident ER proteins have?
KDEL (Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu), tell the golgi that this protein must remain in the ER
what happens to the KDEL protein when it gets to the golgi?
-the KDEL sequence binds to a KDEL receptor, which facilitiates COPI to take the KDEL protein back to the ER
how does vesicle budding begin?
budding begins with the recruitment of a small GTP- membrane following by binding of cytosolic coat proteins to the cytosolic domain of membrane cargo proteins
what may membrane cargo proteins be?
transmembrane proteins or receptor proteins that bind soluble proteins for transport
what do snare proteins do?
involved in the fusion of biological membranes
where are v-snare and t-snare proteins?
v-snare is in the vesicle and t-snare is in the target membrane, bringing them together to fuse
what are synaptobrevin and syntaxin?
synaptobrevin is a V-snare in the synaptic vesicle, syntaxin is a T-snare apart of the membrane of the nerve cell
how does botox paralyze muscles?
inhibits snare pairs from forming (synpatobrevin and syntaxin)
what do clatherin coated vesicles do?
clatherin coated vesicles are involved in transport from trans-golgi network to lysosomes and plasma membrane and vice versa
what is clatherin?
major protein component of clatherin coated vesicles
what is triskelion?
a clatherin molecule, each clatherin molecule consists of three large and three small polypeptide chains
how many enzymes do lysosomes have?
50 enzymes produced in the RER and can hydrolyze virtually all biological macromolecules
at what pH do lysosome enzymes function the best at in the lumen?
pH = 4.6
what do the transport proteins in the lysosome do?
carry products of macromolecule digestion to the cytosol for reuse
what is utilized for sorting and transporting lysosomial enzymes?
clatherin-coating vesicles
