Lecture 11: Golgi and Lysosomes-Function and Trafficking Flashcards
Golgi complex
- Ordered series of flatten membrane stacks called cisternae
- Usually consist of 4-6 cisterna
- Each of the Golgi cisterna have unique protein (and lipid) composition
- Stacks are often connected by tubules to form a continuous organelle
- Located in the perinuclear region (around the nucleus) close to the centrisome
- Localization is maintained by microtubules
Model of the Golgi Complex
Which stains can be used to indicate the different golgi compartments?
Trans face- Nucleoside diphosphate
Cis face- Osmium
TGN- Acid phosphatase
___ proteins cause coating with COPII in the golgi
Sec proteins
The ____ complex begins to build a coat
Sec23/Sec24
The ___ complex finishes the coat
Sec13/31
Coat proteins also help sequester ____
cargo receptors
In what 3 ways are cargo selected for inclusion in vesicles?
- Export signals
- Retention
- Bulk flow
Export Signals
Proteins to be transported have a export signal that allows selective packaging into transport vesicles
Retention
- Proteins have a mechanism to be excluded form transport vesicles
- Chaperone binding
- Kin Recognition
Bulk flow
– Some proteins get packaged simply because they are in the right place at the right time
_____ also participates in decision about entry into COPII transport vesicles and ER exit
- The ER quality control apparatus
- Most of the time this is a good thing to prevent inappropriately folded protein or subunits of unassembled complexes from reaching the cell surface
- Large amounts (up 90%) of the T-cell receptor, acetylcholine receptor are degraded and never reach the cell surface
In what case is the quality control machinery is too good?
– Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR)
ER-derived transport vesicles fuse to form ____
vesicular tubular clusters (VTC)
VTC’s form by ____ membrane fusion
homotypic
What happens when ER resident proteins get transported out of the ER?
They are actively retrieved!
– Soluble residents
• KDEL sequence and receptor
– Membrane bound residents
• KKXX motif
How does the KDEL receptor know when to bind and when to release KDEL-containing proteins?
- The interaction between the KDEL tetrapeptide and the KDEL receptor is pH sensitive.
- The relatively acidic pH of the Golgi compartment permits the association of the KDEL tetrapeptide with the KDEL receptor
- The more neutral pH of the ER allows release (and prevents binding)
