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
