Q

PM in eukaryotic cell? How get proteins in to the cell/organelle?

A
  • PM is impermeable for large macromolecules, semi-permeable for smaller molecules
    -use active transport to bring proteins in the cell/organelle
    from the outside

Q

Steps for synthesis of secretory proteins?

A

1) protein has signal sequence (6-12AA; CH0 side chain)
2) bound by SRP, stops trans. guides mRNA-ribosome complex to SRP receptor on ER
3) signal sequences transferred to translocon; moves protein into ER lumen
4) SRP removed from ribosome, trans continues
5) signal peptide cleaved by signal peptidase
6) PTM can then occur

  • anteriograde & retrograde transport
32
Q

Anteriograde transport

A

    1) Er–> Golgi
    2) Golgi–> PM (exocytosis)
33
Q

retrograde transport? the two different types

A

    1) from PM to lysosomes to (endocytosis or salvage pathways)
    2) from Golgi back to the ER (protein quality control)
34
Q

How do we distinguish between indirect/ineffecive vs direct/effective trafficking?

A

1) vesicle is dysfunctional & distracts overall well being of cell
2) vesicle performs effectively by taking most direct route
* based on coat proteins of cargo*

35
Q

What are coat proteins?

A
  • involved w/ function, processing & transport
  • different vesicle have diff coat proteins which effect their movements/ end locations
    ex: COPI; COPII; Clathrin
36
Q

What happens if a vesicle has the wrong coat protein?

A
  • wrong type of coat protein affects vesicle performance & cellular function
  • vesicles can go to the wrong location
37
Q

why is directing proteins to specific cell membrane regions important?

A
  • most cells in tissues are polarized, have 2 (or more) distinct PM domains diff vesicles can be directed to
  • depending on the specific nature of the PM, depends which kind of vesicle it requires
38
Q

epithelial cells & importance of accurately directing proteins?

A

-have two distinct membranes (basal lamina & apical surface)
-secrete distinct products at each membrane
=direct pathway of membrane protein sorting

39
Q

A

-a ring of tight junctions (composed of proteins)

40

42
Q

indirect membrane protein sorting?

A

43
Q

What is transcytosis?

A
  • protein is retrieved from inappropriate PM domain by endocytosis, transported back to correct domain via early endosomes
  • used by liver hepatocytes to
44
Q

endocytosis overview?

A

1) outside material taken up in clathrin-coated vesicles (bud from PM & fuse w/ early endosomes)
2) early endosomes become late endosomes (decreased pH) = lysosome precursors
3) membrane components recycled to PM
4)

45
Q

what do recycling endosomes do?

A
  • recycle membrane components from the clathrin-coated vesicles back to the cell’s PM
46
Q

Endosome maturation most important step?

A
  • the lowering of internal pH of endosomes to 5.5

- allows lysosomal acid hydrolyses to come from trans Golgi

47
Q

phagocytosis

A
  • uptake of large particles by cell

- antigen is recognized on PM, ingested by phagocyte, forms PHAGOSOME

48
Q

pinocytosis

A
  • endocytosis of small particles
  • small particles brought into cell small pinocytotic vesicles
  • vesicles fuse w/ lysosomes to hydrolyze particles
  • used for nonspecific absorption of extracellular fluids
49
Q

autophagy

A

-degradation of cytoplasm proteins & organelles by enclosure in vesicles from the ER that fuse w/ lysosomes

50
Q

what do all secretory proteins pass through?

A

-pass through the ER to the Golgi to the PM

51
Q

what happens when misfolded secretory proteins are IDed in the Er?

A
  • should be identified in the ER
  • glycosylation used as tag for folding
  • incomplete multimers treated as misfolded
  • unfolded protein response turns up chaperone & degradative enzyme expression
52
Q

chaperone proteins?

A
  • bind misfolded proteins & try to refold them correctly
  • irreparably misfolded proteins are degraded by proteosomes
53
Q

What happens to misfolded proteins that can’t be refolded?

A

1) dislocation back to cytosol
2) deglycosylation by N-glycanase
3) ubiquitinylation
4) degradtion in proteosomes

54
Q

Degradation of misfolded proteins?

A
  • 1/3 of newly synthesized proteins are degraded

- initiated by ubiquitinylation process

55
Q

Where do misfolded proteins go to be degraded?

A
  • misfiled proteins exported from ER & degraded in cytosol
  • ubiquitinylation targets misfolded proteins to be degraded in proteosomes by proteolysis
56
Q

What are the properties of lysosomes?

A
