Secretory Pathway Flashcards
components of endomembrane system
endosome, nuclear membrane (extension), lysosome, golgi, ER with ribosomes, plasma membrane
nuclear pores
proteins in, mRNA out outer nuclear membrane IS continuous with ER - fold around at nuclear pores, transcription factors in and mRNA can leave, NOT protein lined - continuity btwn cytoplasm and nucleus
Rough ER jobs
secreted and membrane protein biosynthesis steroid synthesis oxidative modification of xenobiotic COP II vesicle formation
Smooth ER jobs
generation of limiting membrane in autophagy
Rough and Smooth ER jobs
phospholopid and cholesterol synthesis Calcium storage (especially in muscles) MHC I ag presentation
ER client proteins
secreted proteins (enzymes, Igs, extracellular matrix proteins) integral membrane proteins of endomembrane system (receptors, transporters, channels, cell adhesion) lumenal proteins of endomembrane system (lysosomal hydrolyses, ER chaperones)
non-ER client proteins
made on free polysomes in cytoplasm and imported where they need to go cytosolic (cytosekeletal, contractile, soluble enzymes) peripheral membrane proteins on cytoplasmic face (spectrin) nuclear, mitochondrial, perixisomal proteins
translocation
protein synthesis on cytoplasmic side of ER membrane, nascent polypeptide is translocated through the protein lined channel into the lumen where modifications happen
N-linked glycosylation
HIV gp160 insulin receptor, addition of pre-assembled Glu3-man9-glcnac2 branched sugars to amide groups of Asparagine
co-translational glycosylation
the signal for glycosylation is linear! add glycosylation before polypeptide folds, enzymes transfer in ER lumen as translate - amino end of protein can be in the lumen or the cytosol, transferred over to reside
oligosaccharyl transferase
transfers phospholipid of sugars made in the ER by enzymes onto Asn of nascent polypeptide cytoplasm is a reducing environment, make it as the protein is folding, transfer from dolichol in membrane
chaperones
facilitate folding etc. in the Er
proinsulin
protein with 3 disulfide binds - needs chaperone to facilitate oxidation
BIP
chaperone binds to hydrophobic stretches of AAs in the ER i.e. proinsulin and glycoproteins bind to AAs, hydrolyze ATP, fall off, binds new stretches of hydrophobic AAs on peptide - if fold naturally, it won’t be right, BIP binds to prevent from folding in a way that can’t be unwound during/after synthesis
Calnexin-Calreticulin
chaperone i.e. HIV gp160 receptor binds to glucose! lectin properties released if protein loses glucose binds oligosaccharide with a terminal glucose to target it for degredation glucose usually trimmed when oligosccharide is added during N-linked glycosylation re-add glucose if misfolded so C-C binds
ERAD
ER associated degradation, to degrade misfolded or slowly folding proteins balance! if folds slowly –> more ERAD
ubiquitin
if protein is misfolded, retains chaperone, stays in ER translocated through membrane into cytoplasm (ATPase pulls it through) N-glycanase cleaves off glycoproteins ubiquitin ligase adds ubiquitin covalently to LYSINE (K) tags for degradation to proteasome (ubiquitin recycled)
del508 mutation
mutant CF gene poor folding and OFF (ERAD) is predominant way lacks channel so can’t regulate the ion concentration in the airways and can’t clear mucus
gain-of-function mutations
most misfolded proteins are loss-of-function some - lead to toxic accumulation of misfolded proteins, like Alzheimers, T2D –> toxic, ER stress –> trigger apoptosis
Synuclein
in fruit flies failure to fold is toxic - if overexpress, don’t fold, kill neurons if add chaperones –> mediate folding in the cytoplasm
ER stress
an imbalance btw capacity of the ER to process client proteins and load of proteins imposed on the organelle capacity: chaperones, oxidoreductases, glycosylation, protein degredation, lipids (membrane) demand: physio load, mutant proteins
ATF6, IRE1, PERK
tell when ER stress - when proteins not folding when activated –> turns on protein synthesis of what you need and inhibit what you don’t decreases load on ER but increase expression of genes that the ER needs rectifying response to ER stress
PERK
if making insulin - it’s all accumulating in the ER - not enough to make it and not enough capacity in ERAD! accumulate and cells die if no PERK - cells are destroyed! (ER response signal)
autophagy
alternate method to get rid of accumulated misfolding proteins in in ER ER–> under stress –> engulf part of cytoplasm with ER and contents –> merge with lysosome when not enough capacity and degrade by acid hydrolysis
COPII
ER to golgi smooth ER has exit sites with stable proteins made that turn into vesicles
COPI
golgi to ER
Sec23/24
inner coat proteins - binds to cytoplasmic tails of seected membrane proteins
Sec13/31
outercoat - able to deform membrane as binds and proteins old - area the COPII vesicles will form
ERGIC
clotting factors in vesicles - hemophilia if not secreted correctly
KDEL
COPI vesicles on things that need to cycle back from cis golgi to ER (chaperones have) These proteins are not free to diffuse into areas of COP II vesicles and if escape, brought back target sequence on peptides that need to stay in the ER, will be retrieved from golgi if there KDEL receptors have KKXX on receptor in COPI vesicle retrieves BIP from CGN
modification of core oligosaccharides in golgi apparatus
- oligosaccharide is added to Asn residue in the ER
- in the ER - glucosidase I and II removes 3 glucose, ER mannosidase removes 1 mannose, moves to golgi lumen
- in golgi - golgi mannosidase I removes 3 mannose - high mannose oligosaccharide!
- N-acetylglucosamine transferase I adds GlcNAc
- golgi mannosidase II removes 2 mannose
- add NANA (sialic acid) Gal, GlcNAc - very negatively charged! complex oligosaccaride

i. e. HIVGP-160: only active when cleaved! Furin cleaves at certain basic AA
i. e. insuli receptor - cleaves it to activate it
transport of soluble lysosomal enzymes
TGN –> endosomes
protein from ER: add p-GlcNAc in CGN (phosphotransferase) –> cleave sugar and leave phosphate mannose –> uncovers M6P signal –> TGN –> bind to M6PR –> recruits clatharin coat –> transport vesicle –> fuse with early endosome –> dissassociate at low pH –> remove phosphate –> retromer coat to bring back
maturation of secretory vesicles
- proteins leave TGN
- acidic - aggregates
- membrane pinches off
- more acidic –> more aggregated –> remove membrane
- mature
PC

for all peptide hormones produced in this fashion
in immature secretory vesicles –> decrease pH for aggregating –> cleave proinsulin to insulin

how are vesicles targeted?
- microtubules! cytoskeleton can direct vesicles to their target membranes using microtubule based motor proteins that specifically bind to different vesicular carriers
- docking proteins control initial binding of vesicles to their target membranes
- SNARE proteins - specificity!
what cells traffic with microtubules?
- fibroblasts
- neurons
dyenin - goes in one direction, recruits different MT motors
Rab proteins
Rab-GTP is on vesicles
RAB-GTPase regulates docking! long protein on target, when there is membrane fusion, GTP is hydrolyzed.
each vesicle needs a specific Rab protein to know where it goes

GEF

trigger mechanism
bacteria injects effector molecule into host that activates Rho-family GTPases –> actin polymerization –> ruffle etc. –> throw up large actin protrusions –> trap

anthrax

recaptured by same/neighboring via cell surface M6PR –> endocytosis –> lysosome
take up exogenous enzykme –> deliver to lysosome –> degrade stored substrate and restore homeostasis
infuze enzyme outside body and infuse through stem therapy, gene therapy, enzyme
NOT every cell needs to be corrected - small amt makes big diff
substrate reduction therapy
lysosomes - drug that inhibits first step in glycosphingolipid biosynthesis, decrease rate of making to offset issues with breakdown
possible to cross blood brain barrier
pharmacological chaperone therapy
incrase folding/prevent premature degredation of defective lysosome enzyme

CLEAR gene network
lysosomal proteins - coexpressed and regulated by TFEB
regulates lysosomal biogenesis and function
TFEB
transcriptonal factor that promotes lysosomal biogenesis
mTORC1 - controls cell growth in response to nutrients and growth factor
if adequate lysosomal function: mTOR (on lysosome) phosphorylates TFEB, triggers the binding of 14-3-3 protein to TFEB - keep TFEB in the cytoplasm –> no translation!
if inhibition of lysosomal function: decrease mtor - dephosphorylation of TFEB, no binding of 14-3-3, TFEB can ener nucleus and stimulate lysosomal genes
i.e. if not enough AA - TFEB works to turn on genes, degrade more proteins and make more AA

LYNUS
lysosomal nutrient sensing - on surface of lysosome
regulate proteins assosicated with mTOR
LYNS - includes ATPase and all involved with mTOR
if enough nutrients: TFEB binds w LYNUS - sense lysosomal nutrient level and phosphorylates TFEB to sequester it
if starvation - mTOR is released from LYNUS, inactive! can’t phosphorylate - TFEB enters nucleus and turns on more genes (including itself! autoregulatory loop for more degredation)
