BSCI 330 Lecture Notes - Lecture 30: Nuclear Localization Sequence, Nuclear Pore, Nuclear Lamina
Document Summary
Intercellular compartments: prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes, origin of eukaryotic cells, organelles in eukaryotes. The principal sites of dna, rna and protein synthesis. The abundance and shape of organelles are regulated to meet the needs of the cell. The origin of the nuclear envelope and er. The origin of the chloroplasts in plant cells. Evidence for endosymbiosis to prokaryotes: mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own dna (one circular chromosome), similar, mitochondria and chloroplasts have double membranes, size of mitochondria is similar to bacteria. It has to get the proteins in the genes encoded in the host genome. One suggested pathway for the evolution of the eukaryotic cell and its internal membranes. Matrix, innermembrane (etc, atp synthesis), outer membrane (large channels, very permeable), intermembrane space. Mitochondria align with microtubules and move along the microtubules. Structure or molecule: dna all, nucleus animal and plant, peroxisome plant and animal, mitrochondrion plant and animal, golgi apparatus plant and animal.
