Q

Describe the two paths a protein can take to enter the peroxisome. What is the difference between the PTS1 and PTS2 pathway?

A

A peroxismal targeting signal (PTS) binds to the cargo and brings it through a Docking/RING complex (importer) into the peroxisome.

PTS1 - binds to C terminal

PTS2 - binds to N terminal

BOTH BRING PROTEIN THROUGH IN FOLDED STATE

Q

Describe the import process of a protein into the mitochondria. Are the proteins folded or unfolded during this?

A

MTS (mitochondrial signal sequence) must be attached to N-terminal.

Then is recognized by Tom receptor of outer mito membrane

Then is recognized by Tim receptor of inner mito membrane

UNFOLDED VIA HSP70 IN CYTOSOL (CHAPERONIN)

MTS is cleaved off by protease once in the mito matrix via ATP hydrolysis and Hsp70 then folds the protein.

Q

What happens after ER protein translation starts in the cytosol?

A

SRP (signal recognition particle) recognizes N-terminal sequence and takes the ribosome and partially synthesized protein and mRNA to the ER where SRP binds to receptor on cytosolic surface of ER

19
Q

After SRP binds to cytosolic surface of ER with partially synthesized ER protein what happens next?

A

The protein continues to be synthesized and goes through a protein translocator into the ER lumen

20
Q

Does just one ribosome usually translate the mRNA at a time?

A

NO, it is commonly a polyribosome

21
Q

What generates the force of translocation through the protein translocator of the ER surface?

A

The ribosome

22
Q

How is the finished ER protein released into the ER lumen?

A

a signal peptidase cleaves the SRP, then it folds into the lumen

23
Q

Is rough ER formed on smooth ER?

24
Q

What is the main difference a single-pass ER transmembrane protein has to an ER lumen protein?

A

It is transmembrane and has a stop-transfer sequence that is inserted into the ER membrane

N terminus is on inside of lumen and C terminus is on cytosolic side

25
Does the insertion of proteins into ER membrane happen co-translationally?
YES
26
hen does glycosylation of proteins begin? Where does glycosylation at N-link and ) linked occur?
As they are being synthesized N - Asn (asparagine) O - serine or threonine
27
Are the proteins and lipid-glycans made separately before the are glycosylated together?
YES
28
Where deos protein folding occur for proteins made on ER? Describe this process.
In the ER lumen 1. chaperone protein (BiP) binds to hydrophobic patches via hydrolysis of ATP to ADP of forming protein to prevent misfolding by slowing the folding process down 2. Eventually ADP is is replaced by ATP, which releases BiP from patch allowing protein to fold.
29
LOOK AT SECRETORY PATHWAY FORM ER TO GOLGI SLIDE 20, 21, 22
DO IT
30
Do vesicles have specificity as to where their destination is?
YES
31
What is the first destination of a protein from the ER?
The golgi, specifically the cis-golgi network
32
What is the difference between retrograde and anterograde transport of ER proteins?
Retrograde - towards more cis-golgi network Anterograde - towards more trans-golgi network
33
Describe how a vesicle is formed. What givens them their specificity? STEP 1
GTP-binding protein (GBP) that has GDP associated with it binds to a site of the membrane When GTP is substituted for GDP coat proteins bind to GBP, this deforms the membrane into a vesicle The coat proteins then bind membrane cargo proteins,cargo-receptor proteins, THE SOLUBLE CARGO PROTEINs, and v-snare proteins THE COAT PROTEIN GIVES THEM THEIR SPECIFICITY
34
What are some examples of coat proteins that give the vesicles their specificity?
COP1 COP2 EVCP clathrin LOOK AT SLIDE 22 TO SEE SPECIFIC TARGETS FOR THESE COAT PROTEINS
35
What coat protein is dynamin specific to?
clathrin vesicles
36
When does a vesicle begin to lose its coat protein "coat"? How? STEP 2
As is gets closer to the target, GTP is hydrolyzed leading to uncoating
37
Describe how the vesicle fuses to its target. STEP 3
The Rab of the vesicle attaches to the tethering protein of the target (tethering) v-snare of vesicle attaches to t-snare of the target (docking) Lipid bilayers fuse (fusing) and cargo is delivered
38
What are 2 ways we can visualize the secretory pathway?
VSVG linked to GFP in virus to yield green-fluorescent cells This mutant protein of VSVG is retained in ER at restrictive temp but is released to golgi and then to PM at permissive temp OR Radioactively labeled proteins with signal sequence and isolated organelles placed in test tube and they co-sediment
39
Describe the unfolded protein response. What is an unintended consequence of this?
sensors for misfolded proteins reside on ER membrane Can either activate more chaperone proteins, inhibit protein synthesis, or degrade misfolded proteins DMII - pancreatic cells produce higher levels of insulin than normal, overwhelming the folding machinery and creating a hyperactive UPR AND TRIGGERS CELL DEATH
40
What is the difference between regulated and unregulated exocytosis?
Regulated - extracellular signal creates signal transduction pathway in cell that tells secretory vesicle storing proteins to release them the extracellular space Unregulated - no extracellular signal needed for secretion to occur.
41
What is the purpose of glycosylation and step by step modification of oligosaccharide?
to ensure proper protein folding To maintain protein stability in ER and golgi Function of transmembrane proteins Signal in protein that is delivered from trans-golgi network to early endosome LOOK AT SLIDE 29 FOR EXAMPLES
42
What is the function of adaptin proteins? Examples?
contribute to specifity of clathrin vesicles for its CARGO AND TARGET ORGANELLE AP1 - targets TGN to early endosome AP3 - targets TGN to lysosome
43
Where do Cop1 vesicles go? Why?
retrograde transport 1. misfolded golgi or ER protein 2. ER proteins to be returned after glycosylation 3. for cisternal maturation purposes 4. for proteins to be recycled for use in anterograde transport.
44
Describe the LDL receptor pathway.
LDL binds to LDL receptors on plasma membrane clathrin coated vesicle forms uncoated as it reaches target endosome fuses with endosome LDL receptor buds off from endosome and returns to PM endosome delivers LDL to lysosome and is broken down LACK OF THESE RECEPTORS LEADS TO HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA
45
What is the difference between pinocytosis and phagocytosis?
pincytosis - small molecules phagocytosis - whole bacteria
46
What is lowering as the early endosome matures into the lysosome? What does this do?
The pH This activates certain enzymes at certain pH and releases PM receptor at certain pH Degradation enzymes come from ER/golgi
47
What is the difference between phagocytosis and autophagy?
Phagocytosis is the defense against pathogens and dead cells Autophagy is a defense against damaged organelles
