How would you see peroxisomes in a slide in regards to diaminobenzidene plus H2O2
Stain: clear vesicles become super dark (catalase is precipitated)
What kind of membrane does peroxisome have?
Lipid membrane
Explain how myelin is formed with peroxisomes
Metabolic: Glycerol enters peroxisome, plasmolygen is released, important in the formation of myelin
Is fat made or burned in the peroxisome?
Burn, baby burn
Explain Peroxisome transport signal 1 (what is the aa CODE?)
Cargo binds with signal...

Any protein at the C-terminal with a serine-lysine-leucine at the beginning is the code to bind with peroxisome protein "5", which interacts with all the other peroxisome proteins in order to release PTS1 into the peroxisome
Explain PTS2. Is it more or less conserved?
Code on the n-terminal which binds with "7" same shuttle system. Less conserved
PPAR-where do the live, how do they work? Use the components of RXR, FABP, etc.
Peroxisome proliferating activation receptors: proteins that live in nucleus.

Form complex with RXR (bind with retinoic activating receptor), these two bind with DNA (Peroxisome proliferating response element) makes DNA downstream

In order to turn onto gene, free fatty acids with fatty acid binding protein, which reacts with PPAR, which binds with RXR, which reacts with DNA
PPARs in the skeletal muscle: what do PPARdeltas cause in terms of glucose/lipid oxidation? What real life activity stimulates it? Short/long term fasting, age, diabetes...how is it affected?
Interacts with mitochondria to cause REDUCED GLUCOSE oxidation and INCREASE LIPID OXIDATION
Exercise
PPARdelta goes up with exercise
Short term fasting: rise
Long term fasting: drops
Age: older:: drops
Diabetes: drops
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy--what's goin on here?
Very long chain fatty acids in blood are increased

Mutation in ABCD1 gene (mutation in ATP dependent transporter of fatty acids into peroxisome)

Fatty acid builds up in cytosol, in blood, knock out adrenal glands, not being broken down in peroxisome
What are the different components of the mitochondria?
Matrix, inner membrane, outer membrane, intermembrane space, crista
Where are there excessive protons in the mitochondria? How is ATP synthase involved?
Space between inner and outer mitochondrial membrane (result of electron transport chain), in the intermembrane space

ATP synthase: allows hydrogen ions to flow back into the matrix, cross the membrane:: as it passes through, mitochondria uses energy to pump ADP and phosphate into ATP
How are ATP synthesis and ATP hydrolysis different with ATP synthase?
ATP synthesis: hydrogens pass through synthase, rotorary handle rotates, ATP is pumped out of mitochondria,

ATP hydrolysis: hydrogen ions are put out, rotorary handle is turned opposite direction, ATP is used to pump H out (becomes ADP)
Are mitochondria always one shape?
No--they can go through fission (DRP dynamin related protein) or fusion (optic atrophy) from bigger to small mitochondria (DNA throughout mitochondria)

equilibrium
Is mitochondria DNA circular or linear?
Circular
Lysosomes deal with garbage...

Also, do lysosomes have a membrane?
Proteins that are broken, damaged, etc.

Transported is regulated (coded)

Yes, they have a membrane and a whole bunch of garbage inside of it (similar to autophagosome, but prolly never see that on a microscope)
How does the lysosome get its low pH?
Hydrogens are pumped into the luen of the lysosome (acid hydrolases in the lysosome need acidic envrionment)
What is proprotein processing? What protein is it associated with for lysosomes? What other characteristics are associated with that protein?
Proprotein: pro domain which is cleaved off before they're active

associated with Hydrolases

Bulk degradation, antigen processing, ECM degradation, initiation of apoptosis
What are LMPs?
Lysosomal membrane proteins (protein import, transport of degradation fo products to cytoplasm
How are early endosomes related to lysosomes? Where does it receive vesicles from? What happens to the cargo?
Early endosomes receives incoming endocytic vesicles (from transgolginetwork) sorts for recycling and degradation

Cargo-fuses to become late endosome, which becomes a multivesicular body fused with lysosome to degrade everything inside of it (endolysosome, can't tell if it's late endo or lyso)
What is the major site where cargo destined for recycling is sorted form cargo en route to late endosomes and lysosomes?
Early endosomes
How are early endosomes subdivided?
-into the globular vacuolar or sorting endosome
-associated tubules indicated as "recycling tubules"--these go back up to the surface to gather vesicles
Does the TGN ever communicate with anything other than the early endosome or the surface (that is later picked up by early endosome?)
Yes-vesicles can be sent directly to the late endosome/multivesicular body (sorted there as well, cargo proteins recycle to TGN)
What happens to cargo not destined for recycling? How does ILV come into play?
Requires active sorting into late endosomes, mediated by inclusion into INTRALUMINAL VESICLES (ILV)--which segregate ligand-receptor complexes from the cytoplasm, terminating their signaling (involves ubiquitination)
Describe how the network works, from golgi to early endosome, of transportation of a cargo, with lysosomal hydrolase and mannose
Proprotein lysosomal hydrolase precursor and mannose ships over to next layer of Golgi, p-GLCnAC is added, shipped over to next layer, P0GLcNAc is removed:: mannose becomes mannose6phosphate, binds to M6Preceptor, little vesicle is formed with clathrin coat, targeted for release to the early endosome, enters lumen of endosome (acidic) allows protein receptor to come off complex


Anything with mannos6phosphate will be targeted and sent to endosome
Explain late endosome to lysosome with its enzymes and hydrolytically active, low pH compartments
Enzymes in late endosome becomes high concentrations in lysosome (enzymes of lysosome will fuse with late endosome to have even more enzymes)

Enzymes are active very precisely in the process
What are the different entry ways to lysosome?
Endocytosis (early endosome to late endosome to lysosome)

Phagocytosis (bacterium from extracellular fluid into cytosol, becomes phago some, goes to lysosome

Autophagy (times of starvation) organelles with membranes around them get shipped to lysosome
What is the primary function of lysosomes
Hydrolyze all macromolecules to monomeric subunits and recycle subunits via transmembrane transport to cytoplasm (important during postnatal starvation)
Are lysosomes acidic or basic? How does it maintain that environment?
Acidic
Pumping of H+ ions in using vacuolar H+ATPase
Is there diffusion in the lysosome?
NO, in or out, completely walled off
What happens to the pH levels in the different organelles?
Golgi-6.7to 6.0 cis to trans
Secretory vesicles are 5.5
Early endosome is about 6.5
Late endosome is less than 6
Lysosome is less than 5.5, closer to 4.5
What do they mean by lysosomal "storage" diseases? Where in the body are they first presented?
Because macromolecules cannot be broken down, they build up and is stored in the lysosome, causing an increase in the cell, which causes a lot of problems.

They usually present themselves as neurological defects (brain is affected first)
