Card preview (14)

#1
Front (Question)

What are the clinical findings of I-cell disease?

Back (Answer)

*Increased lysosomal enzyme in ECM Death by age 5 (heart failure) Poor bone development and limited joint mobility Irregular ossification Neurological deterioration

#2
Front (Question)

True or false, the Golgi is part of the RER?

Back (Answer)

True; ER-built molecules and membranes move to Golgi

#3
Front (Question)

True or false, the Golgi is poorly developed in metabolically active cells and secretory cells?

Back (Answer)

False; it is WELL developed in those cells

#4
Front (Question)

How does the Golgi appear under a microscope?

Back (Answer)

Light microscope=hard to see; pale patch close to nucleus EM=series of 5-7 flattened membrane-bound saccules. Each sac contains a cisternae

#5
Front (Question)

What are the 4 functional compartments Golgi cisternae divide into?

Back (Answer)

“cis” - ‘forming face’ faces ER; modification site of newly synthesized proteins and lipids “medial”- saccules* middle of Golgi; receives vesicles that have pinched off cis sac “trans” - ‘releasing face’; concave, faces away from ER; vesicles released to cytoplasm “trans Golgi network” - accumulation of budded trans vesicles;

#6
Front (Question)

Golgi is rich in the enzyme glycosyltransferase. What does this enzyme do? Which direction does it face?

Back (Answer)

Faces cisternal sides of sacs; Adds or modifies sugar chains to create glycoproteins and glycolipids

#7
Front (Question)

What are the three main functions of Golgi?

Back (Answer)

Lysosome formation, secretory vesicle formation, plasma membrane renewal

#8
Front (Question)

Lysosomes contain an array of digestive enzymes of a class known as a ….

Back (Answer)

Hydrolase

#9
Front (Question)

In the “cis” golgi, the mannose (sugar chain hooked to hydrolase) is capped with phosphates by an enzyme called…

Back (Answer)

glucosamine phophotransferase

#10
Front (Question)

What are the Golgi membrane receptors called that gather the hydrolyses from the “trans” sac to TGN?

Back (Answer)

mannose-6-phosphate receptors (M6P)

#11
Front (Question)

True or False: Without a mannose phosphate flag, the leftover proteins travel to a nearby mitochondria.

Back (Answer)

False; If not separated into a lysosome by way of phosphorylated mannose oligosaccharide flags, the TGN produces vesicles destined for exocytosis. Thus, they travel to plasma membrane

#12
Front (Question)

What are the two types of exocytosis from the Golgi?

Back (Answer)

Constitutive = w/o delay Regulated = vesicle binds to cytoskeleton and is released after stimulation (by Ca++)

#13
Front (Question)

I-Cell disease is known to be due to a failure of …?

Back (Answer)

Glucosamine Phosphotransferase = cannot phosphorylate hydrolases (causes 2 things) 1-lysosomal enzymes sent to ECM (which mobilize GAGs into urine) 2-anything brought into cell by endocytosis cannot be broken down by lysosomes

#14
Front (Question)

I-Cell disease is a failure of what part of the cell?

Back (Answer)

Golgi; golgi is incapable of sorting out proteins sent from the ER, and this is b/c ER sends a bad enzyme used in early sorting process
