LEcture 8 Flashcards
Golgi Apparatus
2 main functions of Golgi Apparatus
Sorts proteins (lipids) destined for TGN (main site of sorting)
Modifies N- and O-linked oligos (Carbohydrate factory)
Chlamydomonas
has beautiful Golgi
Why does Golgi cis and trans stain differently?
They stain differently because their biochemically compartmentalized
Cis Golgi
Phosphorylation of lysosomal enzumes
Medial
Removal of Mannose
Addition of GlcNAc
Trans
Addition of Galactose and Sialic Acid
2 types of Golgi Proteins and where are they found
Type I: has N-terminus at lumen found in TGN
Type II: has N-terminus at cytosol intra-golgi and are Glycosylation enzymes
How is Type II localized?
Hypothesis is Kin recognition. They associate with their own proteins and form higher-oligomer structure. cis and cis
This is not possible as they can’t enter vesicle due to size constraints
FLIP
Fluorescene Loss in Photobleaching
-used to study connectivity
FRAP
Fluorescence Gain After Photobleaching
-used to study diffusion (time)
Why is Kin recognition dead?
Using FLIP, they found Golgi enzymes diffusing freely and rapidly with intra-Golgi network
Fluorescence Microscopy
Uses immunofluorescence to image tagged proteins using antibodies
Indirect IF and its advantages
unlabeled primary antibody allows multiple secondary (use different species for antigen)
Purpose of Fixing cells and 3 chemicals to use
Fixing is to maintain cell structure and antigenicity
Formaldehyde is reversible but weak
Methanol is organic and denatures proteins
Acetone is organic and preserves proteins
confocal Microscopy
Pinhole allows pixel by pixel good quality
