Q

Series of events that occurs after glucose enters the cell.

A
  • The mitochondria will make ATP
  • The ATP will bind to the K ATP channel, causing it to close.
  • The membrane potential will fall.
  • Depolarization of the membrane.
  • Calcium enters the cell
  • This stimulates exocytosis of insulin into the bloodstream.

Q

The raft hypothesis

A

The raft hypothesis proposes that certain proteins tend to partition preferentially into the cholesterol-sphingolipid rich raft domains. For example, proteins with longer transmembrane domains may prefer to stay in parts of the membrane that are thicker because of the abundance of cholesterol and sphingolipid. Sphingolipids tend to have longer (20 - 24 carbon) acyl chains that are typically saturated.

A

Pompe disease is a deficiency in acid alpha-glucosidase, an enzyme needed to break down glycogen in the lysosome.

26
Q

What brings the clathrin vesicle together?

A

The C-terminus of the clathrin heavy chain has a trimerization domain that brings the three subunits together.

27
Q

Terminal domain of clathrin

A

The N-terminus of clathrin is called the terminal domain and has binding sites for adaptors.

28
Q

Where do clathrin-coated vesicles bud from?

A
  1. TGN
  2. Plasma membrane
  3. Endosomes (early endosomes)
  4. Immature secretory granules
29
Q

Structure of clathrin triskelia

A

Each triskelion has three clathrin heavy chains and three clathrin light chains.

30
Q

How does clathrin bind cargo proteins?

A

Clathrin does not bind cargo proteins directly. Clathrin adaptors (adaptins) link cargo/receptor to the clathrin lattice.

31
Q

Role of dynamin in clathrin coating.

A

The large GTPase dynamin helps the scission event needed to release the vesicle from the membrane. Dynamin may be a “pinchase”.

32
Q

Drosophila shibire mutant

A

The Drosophila shibire mutant has a temperature-sensitive mutation in dynamin.

33
Q

Adaptins

A

Subunits of adaptor protein (AP) complexes. Adaptins link integral membrane cargo to clathrin.

34
Q

Where is AP-2 found?

A

The plasma membrane

35
Q

Where are AP-1, -3, -4, and GGA found?

A

The TGN and endosomes.

36
Q

Why does clathrin have more flexibility in function than other coat proteins?

A

The ability to interact with different adaptors at different membranes gives the clathrin coat greater flexibility in function.

37
Q

Role of phosphoinositides

A

Phosphoinositides are critical signposts in the TGN / endosomal / plasma membrane system.

37
Q

What do AP-1, AP-3 and AP-4 depend on?

A

AP-1, AP-3 and AP-4 all depend on Arf-GTP (same small G protein that recruits COPI) and PIPs

38
Q

Role of PI4,5P2

A

PI4,5P2 marks the plasma membrane. It’s an important lipid molecule that helps identify the plasma membrane.

39
Q

Role of PI4P

A

PI4P marks the TGN.

40
Q

Role of PI3P

A

PI3P marks endosomes.

41
Q

Role of cytosolic tail of the Man-6-P receptor

A

The cytosolic tail of the Man-6-P receptor has sorting signals that bind to GGA and/or AP-1.

42
Q

What gets lysosomal enzymes into the secretory pathway?

A

To get into the secretory pathway to begin with, the lysosomal enzymes have a cleavable signal sequence recognized by SRP.

43
Q

Before lysosomal enzymes move to the Golgi in COPII-coated vesicles, what happens?

A

N-glycosylation and disulfide bond formation.

44
Q

6 steps for the sorting of lysosomal enzymes from the Golgi to the late endosome.

A
  1. Recruitment of AP-1/GGA by Arf and PI(4)P
  2. Assembly of a clathrin bud.
  3. Capture of Mann-6-P receptor by adaptor/clathrin
  4. Budding of vesicle (Golgi dynamin may help)
  5. SNARE-mediated fusion with endosome
  6. Lysosomal enzyme dissociation from receptor (pH)
45
Q

5 steps for the retrieval of the Mann-6-P receptor from the late endosome back to the TGN

A
  1. Recruitment of retromer by ? and PI(3)P
  2. Assembly of retromer-coated bud.
  3. Capture of Mann-6-P receptor by coat
  4. Budding of vesicle.
  5. SNARE-mediated fusion with TGN
46
Q

What is the cause of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s hypothesized to be?

A

Hypothesized that Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are caused by defects in the endosomal protein trafficking pathway.

47
Q

If the lysosome ruptures, what will happen to the cell?

A

The cell will die. Degradative enzymes like acid hydrolases are stored in the lysosome.

48
Q

Lysosomal storage disorders

A

Genetic diseases caused by a deficiency of an acid hydrolase (Tay-Sachs, Sandhoff, mucopolysaccharidosis)

49
Q

What type of protein mediates phagocytosis?

A

Actin

49
Q

Three nonbiosynthetic pathways for delivery of material to the lysosome

A
  1. Autophagy
  2. Phagocytosis
  3. Endocytosis
50
Q

Autophagy

A

The way the cell degrades entire components or organelles. Will have to fuse to the lysosome and “dump” contents.

51
Q

Autophagy is important in what diseases?

A

Aging, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.

52
Q

How do autophagosomes use their two phospholipid bilayers?

A

As these two layers close, they can capture things in the cytosol (such as ribosomes, glycogen granules, and organelles)

53
Q

Effect of nutrient deprivation on lifespan

A

Nutrient deprivation will extend lifespan because it induces this pathway to recycle cellular components. When you’re well-fed, you accumulate damaged cellular components.

54
Q

Role of dynamin in endocytosis

A

Dynamin is thought to play a role in pinching off the neck of the vesicle so it can be internalized.

55
Q

3 fates for endocytosed proteins

A
  1. Recycling
  2. Transcytosis
  3. Lysosome
56
Q

Unique endosomal organelles of the endocytic pathway

A
  • Early endosomes (Rab5)
  • Recycling endosomes (Rab11)
  • Late endosomes (Rab7) (multivesicular bodies)
57
Q

Primary function of endosomes

A

The primary function of endosomes is protein sorting. They play a major role in defining the specific protein composition of the plasma membrane.

58
Q
