Lecture 12: Exocytosis, Endocytosis, and recycling Flashcards
Exocytosis
Transport from the trans golgi network to the cell exterior
Constitutive vs regulated secretion
What are the three sorting possibilities in the TGN?
- Signal-mediated diversion to lysosomes via endosomes (mannose-6-phosphate receptors)
- Signal-mediated diversion to secretory vesicles (for regulated secretion)
- Constitutive secretory pathway
____ help mark organelles and membrane domains in the late secretory pathway
Phosphoinositides
Regulated secretory vesicles are also called secretory _____ based on their appearance under the electron microscope
granules or dense-core granules
How does proteolytic processing occur in the late Golgi and within secretory vesicles?
Different peptide hormones can be made from the same pre-protein in different cell types
What are the 5 stages of synaptic vesicle fusion?
Compound exocytosis? example?
Compound exocytosis - vesicle-vesicle fusion as well as vesicle PM fusion
Ex-mast cell degranulation
GLUT4 translocation is an example of ____. How does this work?
- regulated excretion
- Insulin binds to insulin receptor -> sends an intracellular signal that causes glucose receptors to reloacte to the PM -> causes an influx of glucose into cell
What are 4 examples of regulated exocytosis leading to plasma membrane enlargement?
Secretion is _____ in polarized cells. How is this possible?
- directional
- The apical plasma membrane of epithelial cells have a different protein content than the basolateral plasma membrane
What are two ways that polarized exocytosis and transcytosis occur?
Apical sorting may involve lipid microdomains called lipid rafts. How?
Only proteins with longer transmembrane domains can go into the raft phase.
Endocytosis
Internalization of external material including proteins located on the plasma membrane
3 types of endocytosis?
- Receptor-mediated endocytosis
- phagocytosis
- pinocytosis
Receptor-mediated endocytosis
- Cellular uptake of macromolecules usually en route to the lysosome
- Ingestion of metabolites
– Cholesterol through LDL and the LDL receptor
– Iron via the transferrin receptor
• Termination of cell surface events (ie signaling)
Phagocytosis
- “cellular eating”
- Ingestion of large particle such as microorganisms or dead cells (usually >250 nm in diameter)
- Usually triggered
