BIO315H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Phagocytosis, Cell Membrane, Hydrolase
Document Summary
Use figure 13. 3 to explain how proteins are transported from the tgn to endosomes. The proteins are tagged with m6p added in the cgn (shown in figure 13. 44). The golgi recognizes hydrolases for tagging through amino acid signals. Memorize figure 13. 44 the structure of mannose 6 phosphate on a lysosomal hydrolase. M6p receptors are retrieved into vesicles from endosomes to tgn for reuse (seen in figure. Some m6p receptors take a detour to the plasma membrane. It recaptures escaped lysosomal hydrolases through the default path and returns them by receptor-medicated endocytosis. Explain figure 13. 45: the transport of newly synthesized lysosomal hydrolases to endosomes. Give an overview of the lysosome: it is membrane enclosed, it has an acidic interior environment i) due to h+ atpases. It uses atp energy to pump h+ to maintain acidity. This also provides energy for transporting small molecules across the membrane.
