32
Q

What is the special feature of mRNA that is translated by membrane-bound ribosomes?

A

Contain an ER signal sequence which direct mRNA to rER for translation.

33
Q

Pathway of protein that are translated by membrane-bound ribosomes

A

ribosome (rER)&raquo_space; Golgi&raquo_space; lysosome or secretion or membrane

34
Q

36
Q

What is abundant in cells specialized in protein synthesis? (give an example)

A

rER EX) Secretory cells producing proteins for extracellular export

37
Q

Site of initial post-translational modification & folding

A

rER

38
Q

What is cresyl violet used for? And how is it useful for viewing rER?

A

Cresyl violet is used for staining DNA. Since rER has DNA components, rER will be stained purple, which makes it detectable.

39
Q

What is abundant in cells specialized in lipid metabolism?

A

sER

40
Q

Role of sER (3)

A
  1. Lipid metabolism
  2. Detoxification (Cytochrome P450 System) (Heapatocytes)
  3. Sequester calcium in muscle cells or SR
41
Q

Which organelle is well developed in secretory cells?

What are the 2 examples of secretory cells?

A

  1. Plasma cells (secrete antibody)
  2. Pancreatic acinar cells (secrete digestive enzymes)
42
Q

Which is entry point of golgi? cis or trans

A

cis

43

Q

With what can we visualize lysosome?

A

Acid phosphatase

53
Q

Role of Mannose 6-Phosphate in terms of lysosome

A

M6P adds to lysosomal hydrolases or lysosomal enzyme precursors which binds to M6P receptors in the TGN. This leads to transport of lysosomal enzyme to lysosome. So M6P is essential in transport of lysosomal enzyme from GA to lysosome.

54

  2. Endocytosis
  3. Autophagy
57
Q

Known as ‘self-eating’, it is a major cellular pathway to degrade proteins and organelles in lysosome

A

Autophagy

58
Q

Pathway of autophagy

A
  1. intracellular membrane such as SER surrounds organelle and cytoplasm which forms autophagosome.
  2. Autophagosome fuse with lysosome then contents are degraded, recycled and reused.
59
Q

A

Autophagosome

60
