Define:
Cytoplasm
Portion of the cell between the nucleus and plasma
membrane, including the membrane-bound organelles
Define:
Cytosol
• Portion of the cell between the nucleus and the plasma
membrane exclusive of the membrane-bound organelles;
• The cortical cytoplasm just under the plasma membrane
has a distinct arrangement of cytoskeletal elements which
excludes organelles and maintains the stiff gel form of the
cell.
What is:
A system of basophilic, membrane-bound, interconnected
tubules and flattened compartments within the cytosol
studded on its cytsolic surface with ribosomes.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Lipid synthesis occurs in association with the _______
leaflet of the ER.
cytosolic
Translocation to the luminal leaflet requires what protein?
flippases
N-linked or O-linked glycosylation:
• Connection of oligosaccharides through the hydroxyl group of
Threonine, serine, or hydroxylysine
• Occurs within the Golgi system
O-linked
N-linked or O-linked glycosylation:
- Connection of oligosaccharides to amino group of asparagine
- Begins in the ER
- Requires a dolichol carrier
N-linked
Functions of Smooth ER? (3)
• Detoxification (detoxifies lipid-soluble and water-soluble
substances into water-soluble compounds)
• Synthesizes phospholipids and cholesterol, which are
lipids necessary for turnover of cell membranes (both the
plasma membrane as well as the membranes of
organelles)
• Abundant in steroid-producing cells
Function of the Golgi Apparatus? (4)
- Sorts products into different pathways; Vesicles are targeted from Golgi apparatus to the apical or basolateral membranes of the cell.
- Location of posttranslational modifications
- Site for the assembly of proteoglycans
- Sulfation
Cis-face, Trans-face, or Medial compartment of Golgi:
- Site where most glycosylation takes place
- Subdivided into cis, medial, and trans compartments
Medial
vesicles transported from the RER to the Cis-Golgi are coated with?
COPII
