Lecture 9: Trans-Golgi Network (TGN) Flashcards
TGN is the most ___
distal region of the golgi complex
TGN functions to modify and sort ____ from ____ and proteins & lipids from ____
newly synthesized proteins & lipids
-proximal golgi
-endocytic compartments
defects in sorting/release of cargo in TGN associated which diseases?
-autoimmune disease, cancer, neuropathology, diabetes
______ of viral proteins affect pathogenesis
TGN processing
major function of TGN
-sort proteins (localization) but also modifies proteins
TGN is _____ & _____distinct from golgi stack
-morphologically & biochemically
morphological differences between TGN and golgi stack
-tubular network and associated vesicles
-cisternae are not flattened against golgi stack
-cisternae has peeled away from trans cisternae of golgi stack
biochemical differences between TGN and golgi stack
-osmium reduced by unsaturated lipids in cis-golgi (reducing environment)
-TGN has acid phosphatase (acidic environment)
TGN is considered _____ by many reasearchers
separate entity
evidence that TGN is separate
-TGN reacts differently to drugs and temperatures that impair protein/membrane trafficking
BFA (Brefeldin A) causes ___ (for golgi stack +TGN)
-TGN fuses with endosomal membranes
-Golgi stack fuses with ER
Membrane an protein cargo blocked in TGN and ER at which temperatures?
-TGN: 20 C
-ERGIC: 15 C
Enzymes of TGN do what?
-terminal glycosylation
-sulfation
-endoproteolysis
TGN: terminal glycosylation (def.) + why?
-addition of sialic acid to N-linked oligosaccharides by dialytransferase (ST)
-keeps negative charge on cell surface
-keeps water at cell surface
TGN: sulfation (def.)
-addition of sulfate groups to Tyrosine
-can affect protein-protein interactions
human brain is rich in ____
sialic acid (4X) for neurotransmission + memory
loss of tyrosine sulfation can affect ___
blood clotting (VIII)
Furin is ___
a transmembrrane protein in TGN that cleaves pro-proteins
Furin cleaves where?
R-X-(R/X)-R
Furin + COVID-19
-furin cleavage of spike protein promote intereaction of virus particles with receptor ACE2 by exposing receptor binding domain (RBD)
presence of cleavage site associated with _____
highly pathogenic influenza virus strains
furin cleaves what?
mammalian, viral, bacterial substrates
furin inhibitors are good antivirals but there is a problem: ____
-furin does many important function in mammals but viruses take advantage of it
TGN is a _____ site for proteins/lipids in eukaryotic cells
major sorting site
3 main sorting pathways of TGN +examples + signal needed?
-to endosomes (ex. lysosomal enzymes) + signal needed
-to secretory granules (ex. regulated secretion) + signal needed
-constitutive transport to PM + no signal needed (except in polarized cells)
Alzheimer disease (AD) is caused by ___ due to
accumulation of plaque that contain AB oligomers due to abnormal cleavage of amyloid precursor protein by B-secretase (makes AB oligomers)
Production of AB oligomers happens in ___ because ____
-TGN
-b-secretase which are normally localized in endosomes but decrease in GGA or increase in retromer make B-secretase localize in TGN
AB plaques make by ___ (2)
-B-secretase
-gamma-secretase
