Cards

Term
2 major intracellular compartments
Definition

1. cytosol

2. vesicular system

Term
cytosol
Definition

-internal contents of the cell

-communicates with the nucleus

 

Term
vesicular system
Definition

-endoplasmic reticulum

-golgi apparatus

-endosomes

-lysosomes, phagosomes, phagolysosomes

-other vesicles

Term
cytosolic pathogen
Definition

degraded in- cytosol

peptides bind to - MHC-I

presented to- effector CD8 T cells

effect on presenting cell- cell death

Term
intravesicular pathogen
Definition

degraded in- endocytic vesicles (acidification)

peptides bind to- MHC-II

presented to- effector CD4 T cells

effect on presenting cell- activation to kill intravesicular bacteria and parasites

Term
MHC-I
Definition

-formed in lumen of ER

-peptides transported from cytosol to ER

-proteins degraded by proteasomes into peptides

-TAP is gateway from cytosol to ER lumen and MHC binding cleft

-tapasin stabilized MHC

-MHC must bind peptide to cleft to become stable

-transported to cell surface via golgi apparatus

Term
Evasins
Definition
-a protein generated to prevent peptide transport through TAP
Term
MHC-II
Definition

-immune cells

-peptides generated in acidified vesicles (not proteasomes)

-join with vesicles containing MHC-II

-binding cleft held by CLIP until peptide is inserted

-HLADM releases CLIP and allows for peptide binding

-present to CD4 helper cells

 

Term
MHC
Definition

-cluster of 200 genes

-function: to bind pathogen peptide fragments to display to T cells

-diversity by polygeny and polymorphism
