Q

What sorts hydrolases to lysosome form the TGN?

A
  1. mannose-6-phosphate is required.

Q

What enzyme is responsible for attaching M6P to lysosomal hydrolases?

Q

What is the process of phagocytosis?

A
  1. performed by macrophages and neutrophils

2. fuse with lysosomes to degrade the ingested material

17
Q

Phagocytes use exocytosis in what scenario to do what?

A
  1. secrete undigested material
18
Q

By what mechanism are phagocytes activated to perform phagocytosis?

A
  1. Ab binds with Ag
  2. interaction triggers pseudopod formation
  3. pseudopod engulfs the Ag forming phagosome
19
Q

What controls and drives the pseudopod formation during phagocytosis?

A
  1. actin polymerization and reogranization (structure rearrangement)
  2. phosphoinositide and Rho GTPases signaling
20
Q

What is the first step in pinocytosis and what are the outcomes of the process?

A
  1. clathrin coated pits start the process
  2. continuous process in eukaryotes
  3. ingest small bits of PM
  4. traps extracellular fluid and solutes in the pits
21
Q

How are caveolae pits different than the clathrin coated pits?

A
  1. enriched with cholesterol and glycosphingolipids and GPI anchored membranes
  2. invagination occurs due to lipid content
  3. require dynamin
  4. unable to fuse with lysosome
22
Q

What is the process fo forming secretory vesicles?

A
  1. proteins aggregate in the TGN
  2. selected proteins packed into vesicles
  3. secreted proteins also undergo proteolytic processing
  4. require clathrin coats that fall away after formation of vesicle
23
Q

What proteins are required to form the binding components of exocytosis to occur?

A
  1. synaptobrevin (v-SNARE)
  2. syntaxin (t-SNARE)
  3. SNAP25 (t-SNARE)
24
Q

What role does synaptotagmin have with exocytosis?

A
  1. aids in fusion pore opening
25
Q

List the 6 steps in synaptic vesicle formation.

A
  1. SV components must be delivered to PM
  2. SV components endocytose to form new vesicles
  3. SV components can migrate to endosome
  4. SV buds from the endosome
  5. NT loaded into the SV
  6. NT is secreted when stimulated by action potential
