Document Summary

Today we will review some aspects of vesicular pathways, including cytoskeletal highways, and introduce some of the coat proteins that are involved copi, Constitutive & regulatory secretory pathways will be compared. Four examples of receptor-mediated endocytosis will be described: Delivery of ldl & transferrin to the cell. Overview of secretory & endocytic pathways of protein sorting. Recall ph-induced dissociation, separation, sorting and recycling of mannose-6-phosphate receptors from last lecture. Myosin & kinesin co-operate in vesicle transport at the cell cortex, whereas kinesin and dynein do so in the cell body. Mt and mf"s form structural and cmn networks. Vesicles carrying proteins outward from rer or gc. Will talk a little about the first five processes in signal today (last three not so much) Of a well-studied secretory vesicle plasma membrane fusion pathway. Rab protein tethered via lipid anchor to secretory vesicle bind to effector protein complex on pm, thereby docking the vesicle onto the target membrane.

1.Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein that has 7 alpha helices embedded in the cell membrane. As such, how many start-transfer and stop-transfer sequences would it need?

7 start transfer sequences, 6 stop transfer sequences

7 of each, in alternating fashion

4 start transfer sequences and 3 stop transfer sequences

to release the SRP after docking to the translocon so translation can resume.

to open the gate/pore of the translocon into the ER.

to arrest translation so that synthesis does not finish before the peptide is delivered to the translocon.

to allow binding to the ribosome.

5. Select all that are true about ATP synthesis with an F_oF₁ synthase complex.

Each ADP+Pi is transferred from one beta subunit in Open conformation to a second beta subunit in Loose conformation and finally to the 3rd beta subunit in the T conformation
