Unit 4: Golgi Flashcards
What is the structure of the Golgi?
- smooth flattened
- disk like membrane bound cisternae
- <8 cisternae/stack
- specific polarity/orientation
- – cis Golgi network (CGN); cis cisternae; medial cisternae; trans cisternae; trans Golgi network (TGN)
- cisternae are biochemically unique
- supported by protein-based scaffold
How many golgi complex(es) do mammalian cells have in comparison to plant/yeast?
- one large in mammalian
- numerous in plant
Organization of the Golgi complex (stack) is mediated by _______
the Golgi matrix
What is the Golgi Matrix comprised of?
- various golgi peripheral and integral membrane proteins
- cytosolic facing domains interact to form scaffold to link cgn with cisternae and tgn
Example of proteins that aid the formation of the golgicatrix
GRASPS
golgi reassembly and stacking proteins
- tethering proteins to link different golgi subcompartments together
- depletion of GRASP55/65 results in disassembly of golgi complex
What else do golgi matrix proteins link the golgi to? Why is this important?
- links the golgi complex to the cytoskeleton
- positioning and mvt of the golgi is therefore controlled by interaction with cytoskeleton
What is the name of the protein that tethers the Golgi complex to the cytoskeleton?
golgins
Golgi stacks have a distinct polarity both ___ and ___
structurally and functionally
similarities of the cis golgi network and trans golgi network?
- both consist of interconnected network of tubules and vesicles
- both serve a sorting station
What is the role of the cis Golgi network?
sorting station
- destination of COPII vesicles coming from ERES
- site of COPI vesicle assembly for retrograde
- or anterograde transport as CGN matures to rest of golgi complex
Golgi cisternae
- 3 or more flattened cisternae (make up the majority of the organelle
3 sections of the golgi cisternae
- cis
- medial
- trans cisternae
What is the function of the golgi cisternae?
- site where golgi metabolism occurs
- synthesis of polysaccharides
- modification (glycosylation) of proteins/lipids
What does the trans golgi network do? (sites of assembly for 3 things)
- sorting station
- anterograde transport of materials from golgi to other compartments
1. site of clathrin vesicle assembly
2. site for secretory/granule assembly
3. site of COP1 vesicle assembly
Clathrin vesicle assembly at trans goes to where?
- transport to endosome or lysosome (biosynthetic pathway)
Secretory vesicle/granular assembly at trans goes to where?
to plasma membrane (extracellular space)
