Secretory Vesicles & Lysosomal Storage Disease Flashcards
PM in eukaryotic cell? How get proteins in to the cell/organelle?
- PM is impermeable for large macromolecules, semi-permeable for smaller molecules
-use active transport to bring proteins in the cell/organelle
from the outside
what are the three major mechanisms for protein transport between compartments of the cell?
1) nuclear localization signals, chaperon proteins
2) specific transporters
3) lipid/protein packaging to carry cargo
why do cells require vesicular traffic? Types of vesicular traffic?
- so can quickly respond to env. changes
- exocytosis and endocytic pathways
exocytotic pathway?
- secretory pathway that delivers newly synthesized proteins, carbs, lipid to the PM or extracellular space
endocytotic pathway?
cells remove PM components & deliver to internal cell compartments called endosomes by endocytosis;
-contents can be recycled or sent to lysosomes to be degraded
what is vesicular transport?
- involves transfer of luminal cargo & membranes
- transport vesicles bud from the donor cell (or organelle)
- vesicles fuse w/ acceptor cell(or organelle)
- TIGHTLY controlled, never spontaneous
how do you make secretory proteins?
- ## proteins meant for secretion or transmembrane work need a signal sequence/ signal peptide which targets the ER
Steps for synthesis of secretory proteins?
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
what is a signal sequence?
- 6-12 amino acid; CH0 side chain
- is on proteins meant to be secreted or be transmembrane proteins
what is SRP?
- signal recognition particle
- binds the signal recognition sequence on growing AA chain in trans
- guides the secretory protein to ER to bind SRP-receptor & finish translation
What proteins enter the ER to finish translation?
1) proteins en route to other destinations
2) ER resident proteins
How identify proteins en route to other destinations?
- destinations inside or outside the cell
- Golgi resident proteins, endosmomal & lysosomal proteins, cell surfface proteins, secreted proteins
What are ER resident proteins?How ID them?
- chaperone proteins, protein disulfide isomerase
- these proteins carry an ER retention signal
What happens when proteins enter the ER (x3)?
1) post-translation modifications
2) quality control of proteins (calreticulin)
3) most are N-glycosylated
what is N glycosylation?
- the covalent addition of sugars to proteins
- most soluble/membrane associated proteins made in ER are glycoproteins
- signals that the protein can be sent to Golgi for further packaging
Calreticulin and quality control of proteins that enter ER? Purpose?
- along with calenxin are quality control proteins
- detect misfolded proteins by binding to oligosaccharides incompletely folded proteins
1) to retain proteins in the ER
2) act as chaperones to prevent unfolded protein aggregation
Post-Translational modification in the ER?
- formation of disulfide bonds in proteins (due to oxidizing env)
- glycosylation of proteins, to help with folding tagging to go to the Golgi
The Golgi structure?
1) has cis, medial, and trans Golgi networks
2)
How proteins get from Er–> Golgi?
1) proteins taken from ER–> cis-Golgi via COPII vesicles
2)
the secretory pathway (specific x5
)?
1) proteins go ER–> cis-Golgi via COPII vesicles
2) vesicles fuse, form ER-Golgi intermediate compartment or ERGIC(temporary) or vesicular tubular cluster (VTC)
3) ERGIC is sorting station, returns proteins w/ ER retention sequences via COP1
4) proteins meant for Golgi go from VTC (ERGIC)–> Golgi via microtubules
5) proteins modified, exist trans Golgi for delivery to target site
secretory pathway general (x4)
1) ER
2) vesicular tubular cluster (VTC/ERGIC)
3) Golgi
4) Trans Golgi Network (TGN)
what is topology refer to in regards of secretory proteins?
- refers to folding
- is determined by modifications of the proteins
what is topology refer to in regards of membrane proteins?
- refers to folding
- number of membrane domains
- orientation w/ respect to cytoplasm
topology & orientation assumed in ER?
1) regions destined for exterior face of ER lumen
2) orientation maintained throughout secretory pathway
3) assembly of multi-meric complexes
4) folding of secretory proteins
types of protein processing during formation of secretory vesicles?
1) condensation/ concentration
2) lysosomal & secretory proteins sorted
3) apical vs basolateral sorting in epithelial cells
4) proteolytic processing
What is proteolytic processing?
-is that may hormones, neuropeptides & secreted enzymes are made first as inactive protein precursors (pre-pro-peptide)
