40
Q

what golgi is closest to the ER, where proteins go to first?

A

cis-golgi

41
Q

what golgi is farthest from ER?

A

trans-golgi

42
Q

what are scaffolding proteins?

A

proteins in betweens stacks of golgi. golgi knows how to stack themselves

43
Q

what types of proteins are glycosylated?

A

proteins to be secreted, for golgi, for plasma membrane, or lysosome

44
Q

what are the 2 types of glycosylation?

A

n-linked

o-linked

45
Q

what is n-linked glycosylation?

A

linked at amino group of protein. most common.

46
Q

what is o-linked glycosylation

A

linked at hydroxyl group of protein.

47
Q

what is the purpose of glycosylation?

A

recognize misfolded proteins through sugars. makes folding intermediates more soluble; hydrophobic areas (shielded), prevents aggregation
necessary for cell-cell adhesion
protection from harsh environments

48
Q

what are lectins?

A

bind to carbohydrates

49
Q

what is a glyco-code?

A

tells cell how long theyve been there. if its been there too long itll degrade

50
Q

as you go through the golgi different ____ occurs in each stack

A

glycosylation

51
Q

what is cisternal maturation model?

A

cis golgi network matures into the different stacks

52
Q

what is vesicle transport model?

A

vesicles pinching off from early golgi networks to later networks

53
Q

what is the lysosome used for?

A

degradation

54
Q

what is autophagy?

A

digesting damaged organelles

55
Q

what is in lysosome?

A

hydrolytic enzymes that control intracellular digestion of macromolecules. has H+ pump to keep inside acidic

56
Q

lysosomal membrane proteins are highly ______

A

glycosylated, harsh environment insides, needs protection

57
Q

what are acid hydrolases?

A

collection of enzymes that degrade different organelles. active in low pHs (nucleases, phosphatases, proteases)

58
Q

what happens when acid hydrolases get outside the cell?

A

nothing bc they only work in acidic environments like in the lysosome

59
Q

are there transport proteins on lysosome?

A

yes, needs to carry digested protein to cytosol

60
Q

lysosomes in plant and fungi are called?

A

vacuoles

61
Q

what is the function of vacuoles?

A

storage nutrients and waste products. degradation. can increase cell size. turgor pressure to keep plants upright

62
Q

how do lysosomal proteins get to the lysosome?

A

start in ER, go through golgi then end up in lysosome.
M6P added in golgi->binds to M6P receptor and clathrin coat is put on ->pinched off ->arrives in endosome -> dissociate at acidic pH and removal of phosphate

63
Q

what do proteins that need to be degraded have?

A

mannose 6-phosphate

64
Q

what causes lysosomal storage diseases?

A

lysosomal hydrolase mutations

65
Q

what are melancytes?

A

cells that hold skin color pigments stored in lysosomes (mellanosomes) and are released by exocytosis and pigment is taken up by keratinocytes

66
Q

what is albinism?

A

defect in melanosome exocytosis

67
Q

what pathways lead to lysosomes?

A

endocytosis, autophagy, phagocytosis

68
Q

what is encocytosis?

A

ingestion of fluid, molecules and particles from the outside of the cell. come in vesicle and end up in lysosome. occurs almost all the time but can also be triggered. uses clathrin coat.

69
Q

what is phagocytosis?

A

taking something bigger taken in vesicle. done by specialized cells (macrophages and neutrophils)

70
Q

what is early endosomes?

A

where cargo is sorted (some recycled, some to late endosome)

71
Q

how does the late and early endosome differ in apperance?

A

early endosome has spiky projections, late endosome is a blob

72
Q

what are intralumernal vesicles?

A

vesicle within a vesicle. any membrane protein to be degraded internalized in endosome. to be completely in lysosome

73
Q

what is the track that leads from early to late endosome?

A

microtubules

74
Q

when does recycling occur?

A

early endosome, does not happen with late endosome

75
Q

what is endolysosome?

A

late endosome fuses with each other and lysosomes

76
Q

what is LDL?

A

deliver cholesterol inside cell. hydrophobic so cant dissolve in blood

77
Q

what is transcytosis?

A

Fc receptor binds to antibody and binds up on other side of membrane (usually polarize cells)

78
Q

what is macropinocytosis?

A

activation of signalling receptor causes cytoskeletal rearrangement . sends protrusion to wrap around segment to bring in. usually for immune cells that want to see what bacterial shits out there

79
