Q

what is the functions of the smooth ER ?

A

1- , it is the site of steroid hormone synthesis in some endocrine cells
2- the site where a variety of organic molecules, including alcohol, are detoxified in liver cells

Q

what is Leukodystrophies ?

A

a group of rare, progressive, metabolic, genetic diseases that affect the brain, spinal cord and often the peripheral nerves

17
Q

: PBD-ZSS is caused bymutationsin one of 13 PEXgenesencoding peroxins.

A

فهم

18
Q

PBD-ZSS isa group ofinheritedgenetic disorders that damage the white matter of the brain and affect motor movements

A

فهم

19
Q

Ribosomes that are translating proteins with no ER signal sequence remain free in the cytosol.

Ribosomes that are translating proteins containing an ER signal sequence (red) on the growing polypeptide chain will be directed to the ER membrane

A

فهم

20
Q

why they called coated vesicles ?

A

cuz they bud from membranes usually have a distinctive protein coat on their cytosolic surface

21
Q

The coat serves at least two functions ?

A
  1. it helps shape the membrane into a bud
    . captures molecules for onward transport.
22
Q

Clathrin triskelions, composed of what ?.

A

3 heavy chains and 3 light chains, are the basic subunits of the clathrin coat

23
Q

what is dynamin ?

A

A small GTP-binding protein
work as a ring around the neck of each deeply invaginated coated pit. Together with other proteins causes the ring to constrict which pinching off the vesicle

24
Q

. There are different types of adaptins reflecting the differences in the cargo molecules to be transported from each of these sources.

A

فهم

25
Q

the function of the COP-coated vesicles ?

A

involved in transporting molecules between the ER and the Golgi apparatus and from one part of the Golgi apparatus to another

26
Q

SNARE proteins functions ?

A

ensure that transport vesicles dock at their appropriate target membranes

catalyze the final fusion of the two membranes

27
Q

The SNARE proteins themselves catalyze the fusion process: once fusion is triggered, the v-SNAREs and t-SNAREs wrap around each other. After fusion, the SNAREs are pried apart so that they can be used again.

A

فهم

28
Q

Many of the proteins that enter the ER lumen or ER membrane are converted to glycoproteins.

A

فهم

29
Q

what is Cystic fibrosis?

A

agenetic disorderthat affects mostly thelungs, but also thepancreas,liver,kidneys, andintestine

30
Q

what are the symptoms of the Cystic fibrosis

A

difficulty breathingand coughing upmucusas a result of frequentlung infections sinus infections,poor growth,fatty stool,clubbing of the fingers and toes, andinfertilityin some males.

31
Q

CFTR FUNCTION ?

A

PROVIDES INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING CHLORIDE CHANNEL

32
Q

The most common mutation is a deletion of three nucleotidesthat results in a loss of the amino acidphenylalanine(F).
Cytogenetic Location: 7q31.2 which isthe long (q) arm ofchromosome 7at position 31.2.

A

.

33
Q

how to know if there is a CFTR dysfunction ?

A

based on an abnormal sweat chloride test
