    Study Notes

    Golgi Apparatus Structure

    • The Golgi apparatus is a cell organelle with a folded membrane made of a phospholipid bilayer.
    • The Golgi apparatus has two distinct sides:
      • Cis Golgi: Convex side facing the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).
      • Trans Golgi: Concave side facing the cell membrane.
    • Cis Golgi:
      • Proteins synthesized in the RER are transported via vesicles to the cis Golgi.
      • Vesicles containing COP-II proteins direct movement from RER to cis Golgi (anterograde).
    • Trans Golgi:
      • Proteins undergo post-translational modifications within the lumen.
      • Modified proteins are enclosed in vesicles and transported either to the cell membrane or fused with lysosomes.
    • Lumen:
      • The Golgi lumen is where post-translational modifications of proteins occur.
      • Modifications include folding proteins and adding molecules like lipids and carbohydrates.
      • This process allows sequential processing of newly synthesized proteins.
    • Lysosomes:
      • Lysosomes are cellular "garbage collectors" containing enzymes for breaking down damaged cellular debris.

    Golgi Apparatus Function

    • The Golgi apparatus processes and sorts proteins received from the endoplasmic reticulum (RER).
    • Proteins move from RER to the cis Golgi to the trans Golgi through a process called cisternal progression.
    • Protein Modification:
      • The Golgi lumen contains enzymes that facilitate protein modification.
      • Protein modifications include:
        • N-linked glycosylation: Sugars are trimmed and added to make the protein active and specific.
        • O-linked glycosylation: A sugar residue is added to the hydroxy group of serine or threonine amino acids to make the protein active.
        • Phosphorylation: Mannose is phosphorylated to activate lysosomal enzymes.
    • Protein Recycling:
      • Worn-out proteins, taken up by cells through phagocytosis/endocytosis, form an endosome.
      • Endosomes fuse with lysosomes, releasing proteins back to the Golgi for modification and recycling.
    • Protein Sorting:
      • The Golgi apparatus packages proteins and tags them for specific locations, including:
        • Lysosomes
        • Membrane proteins
        • Secretion
      • Proteins like clathrin coat vesicles and direct the destination of proteins.

    Review Questions

    • Question 1:
      • Ribosomes facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.
      • The process of worn-out proteins being invaginated into the cell is called endocytosis.
      • The trans-Golgi is the concave side.
      • Protein synthesis occurs in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
    • Question 2:
      • COP-II proteins direct the movement of vesicles from the RER towards the cis Golgi.
    • Question 3:
      • A sugar residue in O-linked glycosylation is added to the oxygen atom of serine and threonine amino acids.
    • Question 4:
      • Mannose-6-phosphate marks/tags proteins destined for lysosomal degradation.
    • Question 5:
      • The Golgi apparatus is especially prominent in goblet cells of bronchial epithelium, plasma cells, and Paneth cells of the intestinal epithelium.

    Golgi Apparatus Structure

    • The Golgi apparatus is a folded membrane-bound organelle found within cells.
    • It is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, similar to a coiled membrane.
    • The Golgi has two distinct sides: the cis Golgi and the trans Golgi.
    • The cis Golgi is located near the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and acts as the receiving end.
    • The trans Golgi is located on the opposite side, facing the cell membrane or lysosomes, and functions as the sending end after modifications.
    • The cis Golgi is also known as the convex side, while the trans Golgi is also known as the concave side.

    Golgi Apparatus Function

    • The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is modifying and packaging proteins.
    • Proteins synthesized in the RER undergo N-linked glycosylation, where a sugar molecule attaches to the protein's asparagine residue.
    • After glycosylation, proteins are packaged into vesicles that bud off from the RER and move to the cis Golgi.
    • Vesicles containing modified proteins are marked with COP2 proteins, signaling their transport to the Golgi.
    • Within the Golgi, proteins undergo further modifications and sorting before being packaged into new vesicles for transportation to different destinations.
      • Some vesicles transport modified proteins to the cell membrane, where they can be either secreted outside the cell or become part of the cell membrane.
      • Other vesicles transport modified proteins to lysosomes, cellular organelles responsible for breaking down waste and worn-out cell parts.

    Protein Transport

    • Proteins travel from the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) to the Golgi apparatus via vesicles.
    • COP2 proteins coat the vesicles and direct them from the RER to the cis side of the Golgi.
    • Some proteins are transported back to the RER from the trans side of the Golgi.
    • COP1 proteins coat the vesicles for retrograde transport to the RER.

    Golgi Modification

    • The Golgi apparatus modifies proteins as they move through its compartments.
    • Protein Modifications:
      • Trimming: Sugars are removed from N-linked glycosylation that occurred in the RER.
      • O-linked Glycosylation: Sugars are added to the hydroxyl (OH) group of amino acids like serine and threonine.
      • Phosphorylation: A phosphate group is added to mannose sugar residues on the protein.
        • This is particularly important for lysosomal enzymes.

    Destination Determination

    • The Golgi modifies proteins to signal their destination:
      • Lysosomal Enzymes: Phosphorylated mannose directs proteins to be packaged into lysosomes.
      • Cell Membrane Proteins: Proteins destined for the cell membrane can be either incorporated or secreted.

    Exocytosis

    • Proteins destined to be secreted are released from the cell via exocytosis.

    Protein Recycling

    • Worn-out membrane proteins can be endocytosed into the cell and transported to the Golgi for modification and recycling.
    • Endosomes are vesicles formed by endocytosis, transporting proteins to the Golgi for recycling.
    • Lysosomes break down engulfed material.
    • Phosphorylation of mannose promotes lysosomal enzyme synthesis to activate them.
    • Clathrin proteins coat vesicles transporting proteins to the cell membrane.
