Q

What else do golgi matrix proteins link the golgi to? Why is this important?

A

Q

back to the trans cisternae

18
Q

What is the processing plant of the cell?

A

Golgi complex

19
Q

What are the 3 functions of the golgi complex?

A
  1. synthesis of polysaccharides (EM and cell wall)
  2. modification of proteins and lipids (glycosylation and proteolytic modification)
  3. transport and sorting of proteins (at CGN or TGN) via anterograde or retrograde b/w ER Golgi PM
20
Q

Most glycoproteins (synthesized and N-linked glycosylated in RER) in the golgi are …

A

subjected to additional glycosylation reactions

21
Q

How are the cisternaes unique?

A

the cis medial and trans cisternae have unique glycosyltransferases that modify the glycoprotein specifically

22
Q

Where is N-linked glycosylation completed?

A

in the golgi’s cis golgi cisternae

23
Q

What does N-linked glycosylation involve in the cis golgi cisternae?

A
  • mannosidase 1

- removes 3 mannose sugars from core

24
Q

How is a lysosomal protein modified when it arrives in the cis golgi cisternae?

A
  • cis golgi cisternae - 2 mannose phosphorylated (signal patch of protein recognized by phosphotransferase)
  • Nacetylglucosamine1-phosphate transferred to specific mannose residue from nucleotide sugar donor
25
Q

How is a lysosomal protein modified when it arrives in the medial golgi cisternae?

A
  • Nacetylglucosamine removed by glycosidase

- lysosomal enzyme contains mannose 6 phosphate group

26
Q

How is a lysosomal protein modified when it arrives in the TGN?

A
  • recognized by mannose 6 phosphate receptors (MPR)

- targeted to lysosome

27
Q

What happens to a cargo protein does not have a M6P?

A
  • when it is in the TGN it will go to transport vesicles or granules
  • destined for plasma membrane via secretory pathway
28
Q

Where does N-linked oligosacchardies synthesis occur?

A
  • synthesis begins in ER

- linked by nitrogen

29
Q

Where does O-linked oligosaccharides synthesis occur?

A
  • entirely in golgi (synthesis and modification)

- linked with oxygen

30
Q

What a.a. is attached to N-linked oligosacc?

A

asparagine (N)

31
Q

What a.a. is attached to O-linked oligosacc?

A

serines or threonine

32
Q

What are two models for movement of materials through golgi complex?

A
  • vesicular transport model

- cisternal progression/maturation model

33
Q

How is cargo carried in the anterograde direction in the vesicular transport model?

A
  • transport vesicles

- subcompartment composition changes with incoming new membrane and cargo

34
Q

How does the golgi persists in the vesicular transport model?

A
  • COP1 vesicles move resident golgi proteins back to proper subcompartment
  • since subcompartments are changing with incoming new vesicles
35
Q

How do materials move in the cisternal progression/maturation model?

A
  • golgi subcompartments are dynamic structures

- each subcompartment continually moves from cis to trans

36
Q

How does the composition of each subcompartment change in the cisternal progression model?

A
  • moving through stack, CGN matures to cis cisternae, matures to medial cisternae
  • constant change in chemical composition
  • vs the VTC the vesicles are just adding/fusing to the subcompartments
37
Q

How does the golgi persist in the cisternal progression model?

A
  • transport of COP1 vesicles from tips move resident proteins back to proper subcompartments
38
Q

In the cisternal progression model, how is the new CGN formed?

A

COPII coated transport vesicles from ERES carry newly synthesized cargo
- they fuse together to form the new CGN

39
Q

A mannosidase 1 in the trans medial cisternae would go where?

A
  • backwards via COP1 coated vesicle to the cis medial cisternae
  • this is where N-linked glycosylation occurs and where it functions
40
Q

What happens to the TGN in the cisternal progression model?

A
  • TGN disperses into various vesicles
41
Q

Name 3 types of vesicles from the TGN

A
  • clathrin coated (lysosome/endosome)
  • secretory vesicles (transport cargo to PM and extracellular space)
  • secretory granules (fuse with PM to release cargo into extracellular space)
