27
Q

How does the SNARE complex dissociate so it can be reused?

A

NSF binds to the SNARE complex

ATP is hyrolysed

28
Q

What type of bonds can be seen in the SNARE complex?

A

Noncovalent interactions
2 from SNAP25
1 from synaxtin
1 from VAMP

29
Q

Why is the coiled coil structure of the SNARE complex so stable?

A

They bury the hydrophobic residues really well

also because of the heptad repeat on each of the three proteins

30
Q

T/F:

Dyneins mediate anterograde transport and kinesins mediate retrograde transport

A

False

other way round

31
Q

Alpha tubulin binds _______ GTP

A

Non-exchangeable

32
Q

T/F:

Alpha can be found at the start of the negative end of microtubules

33
Q

What do kinesins use to walk along microtubules?

A

ATP hydrolysis

34
Q

List four things that might occur to a protein when travelling through the ER

A

Glycosylation
Disulfide bones
Folding
Quality control

35
Q

T/F:

Glycosylation involves the covalent addition and processing of sugars

A

False

Carbohydrates

36
Q

Which reside is involved in the creation of disulfide bonds?

A

Covalent links between cysteine residues to form cystine

37
Q

T/F:

Quality control is specific proteolytic cleavages

38
Q

What is the role of Oxidised PDI?

A

It recognises reduced cysteins and forms the di sulfide bonds

Can also rearrange disulfide bonds already made

39
Q

What is the role of BIP?

A

Binds to proteins in the ER and prevents them from folding

40
Q

What is the role of Oligosaccharyl transferase?

A

Brings sugars into the ER lumen

41
Q

List the names of the 5 structures of the golgi apparatus from ER to release

A

Cis Golgi network

Cis cisterna
Medial cisterna
Trans cisterna

Trans golgi netowrk

42
Q

What occurs in the cis Golgi network?

A

Phosphorylation of oligosaccharides on lysosomal proteins

recognising Mannose 6 phosphate (signal to go to the lysosome)

43
Q

T/F:

Removal of mannose 6 phosphate occurs in the trans cisterna

A

False

occurs in cis cisterna (and medial cisterna)

44
Q

What occurs in the medial cisterna?

A

Removal of mannose 6 phosphate and addition of GlcNAc

45
Q

What occurs in the trans golgi network?

A

Sulfation of tyrosines and carbohydrates

46
Q

What is the role of the perioxisome?

A

Allows completely folded proteins to move into organelles

47
Q

What sequence would be found at the extreme C terminus of proteins destined for the perioxisome?

A

Ser-Lys-Leu

48
Q

What state do mitochondria have to be in for the uptake of proteins into their matrix (lumen) to occur?

A

They must be energised (with ATP)

In this state they are active

49
Q

Why does the mitochondria have to be energised to allow proteins to enter its matrix?

A

When it is energised, their is an action potential
Voltage gated channels like Tim23 need an action potential to allow them to open

The action potential helps to drag the positively charged leader sequence through the pore (the matrix has a higher pH and more negative charges)

50
Q

Which membrane of the mitochondria is Tom20/22 located?

A

Outer membrane

Brings things from the cytosol into the mitochondria

51
Q

What are the two ways proteins can move to the intermembrane space?

A

Inserted into the inner membrane and then cleaved

Or directly put into the intermembrane space

52
Q

Where can you find the Toc and Tic complex?

A

Toc complex= outer membrane of chloroplast

Tic complex= inner membrane of chloroplast

53
Q

A

False

Single membrane

55
Q

Which genes encode peoxisomal proteins?

A

All encoded by nuclear genes

56
Q

What do the enzymes in perioxisomes use?

A

They use oxygen to oxidise various substrates

57
Q

What product is generated as a by product by enzymes in the perioxisome?

A

Hydrogen peroxide

58

A

False

interacts with pex14

What is seen when you have deficienies in Pex12?

A

Catalase is unable to enter the peroxisome

PMP70 is normal

63
Q

What happens when you are Pex3 deficient?

A

Peroxisomal membranes don’t assemble

Both catalase and PMP70 remain in the cytosol

64
Q

What are the two ways proteins can be degraded or recycled?

A
  1. Cytoplasmic degradation by proteosomes using the ubiquination pathway
  2. Proteolysis in lysosomes
65
Q

T/F:

Lysosomes maintain a low pH by pumping protons from the inside to outside

A

False

They pump protons from outside to inside

66
