Term
Most endocytosis is not ?, but occurs in very efficient Receptor Mediated endocytosis pathway
Definition
random
Term
In low density lipoprotein (LDL)what is digested what is recycled
Definition
ligand is digested in lysosome
receptor recycled
Term
What is recycled or digested in Transferrin?
Definition
ligand and receptor are both RECYCLED
Term
What is digested or recycled in Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
Definition
Ligand and receptor are both digested in lysosome
Term
in EGF transfer to lysosome what helps keep receptor in endosome?
Definition
ubiquitin
Term
Transcytosis is seen in what?
Definition
globulins (definitely immunoglobulins like IgA)
Term
Early endosomes mature into what and then what?
Definition
mature into late endosomes/multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and then lysosomes
Term
Digestive enzymes are delivered to endosomes from the ? in clathrin coated vesicles
Definition
Golgi complex
Term
what contain undigested residues and are very dark with light lipid patches. they accumulate in long-lived cells like heart and brain
Definition
Lipofuscin granules/residual bodies
Term
Neurons can have brown ? around the nucleus
Definition
lipofuscin granules
Term
Materials taken up in what may go to a number of locations including endosomes ER transcytosis
Can do signaling not just for digestion?
Definition
Caveolae
Term
Digestion of cellular organelles is called?
Definition
autophagy
Term
What disease is due to a defective glucocerebrosidase?
Mild form = spleen macrophages can not completely digest aged RBC's
ERT successful! Yay!
Definition
Gaucher's Disease
Term
What disease is due to a defective N-acetyl-hexosaminidase? Due to accum of undigested glycolipids, particularly in neurons.
ERT unsuccessful
blood-brain barrier makes access difficult
Definition
Tay-Sachs Disease
Term
In what disease are lysosoaml enzymes synthesized but not phosphorylated and are delivered to the secretory pathway instead of to late endosomes. Fatal in childhood
Definition
I-Cell Disease
*not all cells are affected so there is another way lysosomal enzymes are directed to endosomes
Term
What are the 3 types of ubiquitin-tagged cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins that are destroyed?
Definition
Unneeded, short lived, abnormal/misfolded proteins
Term
What are generally more toxic to rapidly dividing cells (cancer cells)
due to proteasome degradation inactivating the cyclin-Cdk complex
Definition
Proteasome inhibitors
Term
What contain a variety of oxidative enzymes including catalase and can oxidize long chain fatty acids?
Definition
Peroxisomes
Term
What are required for plasmalogen synthesis (lipid synth)
Definition
Peroxisomes
Term
where are peroxisomal enzymes synthesizes
Definition
free ribosomes
Term
What is due to a mutation in one of the peroxisomal membrane transporters
(few enzymes are transported into the peroxisome)
Definition
Zellweger Syndrome
Term
What is caused by damage and leads to swelling and rupture? Inflammation develops.
Definition
Necrosis
Term
External ? ligands bind to ? (death) receptors on the cell surface to activate caspase cascade.
Definition
Fas
Fas
Term
Internally release of ? activates caspase cascade?
What is an anti-apoptotic protein which inhibits release of cytochrome C from mitochondria?
Definition
cytochrome C
Bcl-2
Term
Cells with DNA damage are monitored by ? which triggers either DNA repair or apoptosis.
Definition
p53
Term
Mutan proteins may be digested even though ? What is mutated in cystic fibrosis and then destroyed by proteasomes
Definition
functional
mutated chloride channel protein (CFTR)
