Protein Trafficking Flashcards
Membrane-enclosed Organelles (7)
- Nucleus
- ER
- Golgi apparatus
- Lysosomes
- Endosomes
- Mitochondria
- Peroxisomes
contains many metabolic pathways, protein synthesis, cytoskeleton
cytosol
contains main genome, DNA and RNA synthesis
nucleus
synthesis of most lipids, synthesis of proteins for distribution to plasma membrane
ER
modification, sorting, and packaging of proteins and lipids for delivery
Golgi apparatus
intracellular degradation
lysosomes
sorting of endocytosed material
endosomes
ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation
mitochondria
ATP synthesis and carbon fixation by photosynthesis
chloroplasts
oxidation of toxic molecules
peroxisomes
What did nuclear membranes and the ER evolve from?
invaginations of the plasma membrane
What did the mitochondria originate from?
an engulfed prokaryotic cell
3 mechanisms to import proteins
- Transport thru nuclear pores
- Transport across membranes
- Transport by vesicles
Signal sequences can direct proteins towards their direction (T of F)
True
forms a gate that selects which proteins can enter and exit the nucleus
nuclear pore
