Lysosomes |
Membrane enclosed compartments filled with soluble hydrolytic enzymes carry out intracellular digestion of macromolecules |
|
Glycosidases |
Are enzymes that remove sugars |
|
Glycosyl transferases |
Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of sugars |
|
Peroxisomes |
Single membrane small organelles contain oxidative enzymes, breakdown fatty acids to acetyl coA Reduction catalyzed by oxidative enzymes called urate oxidase and catalase |
|
Protein sorting |
Transfer of proteins from custom to different organelles |
|
Nuclear Localization Signals |
Signal sequence that directs a proteins from the cytosol into the nucleus |
|
Three mechanisms of protein entering membranes |
1. Gated transport 2. Protein translocators 3. Vesicular transport |
|
Sorting signal |
A sequence of amino acids specific for each protein to guide them to which compartment they must travel to. |
|
Dr. Gunter Blobel |
Nobel prize in 1999. Discovered proteins have internist signals that govern their transport and localization in the cell. |
|
Nuclear pore complex |
Large protein complex part of nuclear pores which contains nuclear fibril, nuclear basket and pore |
|
Protein translocators |
Embedded proteins on membrane that help transport proteins in or out of cell organelles |
|
Co- Translational translocation |
Ribosomes attached to ER membrane. As proteins are synthesize they are also begin inserted to translocators protein at the same time. |
