M6P receptors. trans golgi network (TGN).
clathrin-coated vesicles.
endosomes. lysosomes.
This enzyme, ___ ___, adds M6P to the lysosomal hydrolases. Without it the enzymes are not phosphorylated and not sorted into vesicles or delivered into lysosomes.
GlcNAc phosphotransferase.
Name two genetic defects in lysosomal hydrolases and describe them.
Both lead to accumulation of ___ ___ in lysosomes.

What is endocytosis? The plasma membrane does this to form the endocytic vesicle.
Large particle ingestion is referred to as ___. Small particle ingestion is referred to as ___.
Uptake of macromolecules from exterior.
PM invaginates and then pinches off to form the endocytic vesicle.
phagocytosis (ingested by phagosomes). pinocytosis.
T/F: The fusion of vesicles coming from the TGN is called endocytosis?
False. endocytosis only refers to uptake from the exterior of the cell’s plasma membrane.
What is a common example of receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Describe receptor-mediated endocytosis.
Receptor-mediated endocytosis provides a selective ___ mechanism.
Blockage of this pathway results in ___.
cholesterol uptake.
Used to import select macromolecules from the outside. Molecules bind to receptors on membrane surface, accumulating in clathrin-coated pits.
concentration.
Atherosclerosis.
Steps of cholesterol uptake:
- Endocytosis
- Uncoating (of clathrin)
- Fusion with Endosome
- Budding off of transport vesicles.
- Return of LDL receptors to plasma membrane.
The return of LDL receptors to the plasma membrane happens when vesicles bud off of this stage of endosome.
Early.
A defective ___ ___ ___, normally located in the clathrin coated pits, prevents ___ uptake by the cell. This leads to high levels of ___ in the blood, increasing the chance of forming atherosclerotic plaques.
LDL receptor protein.
LDL.
cholesterol.
This kind of tag helps to sequester endocytosed proteins.
What are three possible fates of endocytosed receptor proteins?
ubiquitin.
- degradation in endolysosome.
- transcytosis of transport vesicle.
- recycling of transport vesicles.
Binding of ___ acts like an intracellular signal, causing relocalization of glucose receptors from ___ ___ to the plasma membrane in order to increase glucose uptake.
recycling endosomes. insulin.
These two WBCs are phagocytes.
Phagosomes fuse with ___ and ingested material is degraded.
___ material is secreted out by exocytosis.
macrophages and neutrophils.
lysosomes.
Undigested.
phagocytosis is triggered by binding of particle to receptors on phagocyte surface. Binding triggers formation of ___ which engulfs the particle and forms ___.
Formation of pseudopod driven by localized ___ ___ and ___, and controlled by ___ ___ and ___ ___.
pseudopod.
phagosome.
actin polymerization. reorganization.
Rho GTPases. phosphoinositide signaling.
This enzyme, ___, converts PIP2 to ___. This conversion causes the bacteria to get phagocytosed by WBCs.
PI 3-kinase.
PIP3.
This process, where the cell ingests bits of PM, occurs continuously in all eukaryotic cells. The process begins at ___-___ ___. Invagination includes both the extracellular fluid and various solutes.
Pinocytosis.
clathrin-coated pits.
Flash-shaped invaginations in the PM are known as ___, which are enriched in ___ and ___, and GPI-anchored.
The major structural protein of caveolae is ___. Caveolae invaginate into membrane by virtue of ___ ___.
Caveolae. cholesterol. glycosphingolipids.
caveolin.
lipid composition.
T/F: Pinched off caveolae connect with lysosomes.
False. Caveolae do NOT connect with lysosomes.
Exocytosis involves transport of vesicles from and to what cellular compartments?
Secretory pathways triggered by signals are called ___, and pathways operating continuously are called ___.
Exocytosis: From TGN to PM. Fusion of vesicles with PM is called exocytosis.
Regulated. Constitutive.
Proteins destined for secretion are packed into secretory vesicles in the ___. The protein packing occurs via ___ ___.
TGN also promotes ___ ___ of the secretory proteins.
Proteins going back to the TGN are concentrated in clathrin-coated ___ vesicles.
