Lecture 10: Lysosome Biogenesis Flashcards
Lysosomes are _____
heterogenous group of membranous organelles containing > 50 types of acid hydrolases (enzymes) that degrade macromolecules
lysosomes are involved in recycling so ___
breakdown products can be transported to cytosol for reuse
lysosomal enzymes have pH optimum of _____ compared to the cytoplasm’s ___
- 5
- 7.2
pH of lysosome is maintained by ____
proton pump (membrane protein complex with ATPase activity)
pH of lysosomes keeps its enzymes from ___
being active in the cytosol and digesting the cell
size of lysosomes ____
varies in zie (10-fold)
the size of lysosomes reflects ____
variety of digestive functions of intracellular and extracellular debris
lysosomes contain ____ which form dense precipitate in the presence of lead
-acid phosphatase
lysosomal storage disorders are ____
group of genetic disease in which people have reduced levels of lysosomal enzymes
(more enzymes missing, the worse the disease)
lysosomal storage disorders life expectancy
<15 years
lysosomal storage disorders inheritance pattern
autosomal recessive
lysosomal storage disorders result
lysosome cannot perform its recycling function and becomes clogged with proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates than can not be degraded
lysosomal storage disorders (Tay Sachs)
-lack of hexosaminidase (hydrolyzes GM2)
-progressive neurodegeneration
lysosomes + heart health
-you can get buildup of LDL that block major arteries (heart attack/coronary heart disease)
-cell have LDL receptors that bring cholesterol into cell to be degraded by lysosome
lysosomes + covid 19
-virus deacidify lysosomes to exit cell via lysosomal trafficking
3 major pathways for entry into lysosomes for degradation of intracellular + extracellular material
1) endocytosis
2) phagocytosis
3)autophagy
endocytosis (def.)
-receptor mediated uptake of proteins and lipids at cell surface
-endocytosed material is delivered to lysosomes via endosomal system
phagocytosis (def.)
engulfment of large particles(bacteria + debris) at cell surface + delivery to lysosomes directly
autophagy (def.)
ER-derived membrane wrap round organelles to form autophagosomes
phagocytosis + autophagy have this in common
-don’t used endosomes as transport intermediate
endosomes (def.)
membranous organelles with acidic lumens that receive and sort cargo from TGN + endocytic cargo from PM
early endosomes (ee) are found _____ and receive cargo from ____
-near PM
-PM primarily
late endosomes (LE)/ multi-vesicular bodies are found ___ and receive cargo from ___
-near nucleus/golgi
-early endosomes +TGN, contain internal vesicles
newly-synthesized lysosomal proteins have multiple ____
pathways for delivery into lysosomes
many but not all lysosomal enzymes (soluble) are modified by ____
addition of M6P
____ contain membrane proteins
lysosomes
Glycoproteins destined for lysosomes are ____ in ER and contain the same ______ as non-lysosomal glycoproteins
-N-glycosylated
-core oligosaccharides
