Lysosome Flashcards
What is significant about the lysosome membrane?
It is heavily glycosylated to protect the lysosome from degrading itself
What are lysosomes filled with?
acid hydrolases
What is the pH in a lysosome?
4.5-5
Proteases, nucleases, lipases, phospholipases, phosphatases, sulfatases are all examples of what?
acid hydrolases (what fill lysosome)
What is a primary lysosome?
newly synthesized with acid hydrolases but have not yet aquired material or degraded anything
What is a secondary lysosome?
a lysosome that has or is degrading something
What is TGN?
trans golgi network
Primary lysosomes bud from what?
trans golgi network
If a vesicle is going from golgi to endosome what is the only thing it carries?
lysosomal enzymes
What goes from an endosomeo to golgi?
membrane and M6P receptors
how does an endosome become a lysosome?
Combination of fusing and lowering of pH due to proton pumps
Where do vesicles that contain material to be degraded go once they enter cell via endocytosis?
They go to early endosome then to late endosome then to lysosome (the endosome becomes these things)
After a vesicle leaves the TGN, what are its three options?
- Constitutive secretion
- Regulated secretion
- Lysosomal/endosomal pathways
When a vesicle has a clathrin coat, where is it going?
lysosome or endosome
What is the purpose of GlcNAc phosphotransferase
It puts the M6P tag on the protein in the cis Golgi
What does M6P tag have a high affinity for?
M6P receptor in TGN
What puts the sugar chains on the protein in the rER?
Dolichol
What is the function of dolichol?
puts on n-linked oligosaccharide chains on in rER
Where is the only location clathrin will coat vesicle?
From golgi to lysosome or endosome, and from plasma membrane into a cell.
When a vesicle coated in clathrin buds off, what allows the final “budding” or “pinching” off of the vesicle from the membrane?
dynamin GTPase
When will COPII form?
vesicle going from ER to golgi
When will COPI form?
vesicle going from golgi to ER
How do hydrolases get into lysosome?
Cargo binds M6P receptor M6P receptor clusters →adaptors →clathrin vesicle buds off clathrin removed fusion with endosome acidic enviornment → M6P receptor dissociates Phosphate removed from cargo M6P recycled back to TGN
Why does phosphate need to be removed from cargo?
So it cannot bind back to M6P receptor
What is the name of the pump that pumps H+ into lysosome?
V-type ATPase
If lysosome fuses with extracellular membrane, where would the glycosylation face?
extracellular space (in the lysosome, they face the lumen)
What are the 3 pathways to degradation in lysosome?
Endocytosis
Phagocytosis
Autophagy
Phagosomes fuse with what?
lysosome
What is autophagy?
the cell is digesting something w/in itself
What do organelles (EX: mitochondria) that are not needed or are too old in a cell do to be degraded?
They form autophagasome and fuse with lysosome
What is a multivesicular body?
an intermediate step b/w early endosome and late endosome
If you want to down regulate a receptor because a cell has enough of a substance, how would you degrade a transmembrane protein?
multivesicular body - the membrane fuses together and creates areas inside the cell where the transmembrane protein can be, which will eventually be degraded
How does the lysosome/endosome know when a receptor is no longer needed and needs to be degraded?
it will be mono-ubiquinated
What is mono-ubiquitin tag?
It downregulates receptors/proteins
What is the product when a phagosome joins with a lysosome and digests the material?
Residual body & indigestible material
If product accumulates in cytosol after lysosome and phagosome degrade, what is it called?
lipofucin
Describe what happens in autophagy
ER envelopes old organelle, then fuses with a lysosome
What envelopes old organelles for autophagy?
ER
If lysosome can’t degrade material within it, it becomes a ______
residual body
What happens to residual body?
it is expelled from cell or remains in cell as lipofuscin
Pigmented lipids that accumulate in organs is what?
lipofuscin
