Study Notes
Sorting Proteins at TGN
- Receptor-mediated sorting transports lysosomal hydrolases to lysosomes via mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) receptors and endosomes.
- Alternative sorting mechanism involves sortilin and clathrin to mediate transport to endosomes.
- Protein aggregation occurs at low pH and calcium levels, leading to maturation from immature secretory granules (ISGs) to mature storage granules (MSGs).
- CARTS facilitate transport of Lysosome C and PAUF to the cell surface.
Lysosomal Proteins at TGN
- Mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) tags on lysosomal enzymes are recognized by M6P receptors (MPRs).
- Enzymes are transported from TGN in clathrin-coated vesicles to endosomes, eventually reaching lysosomes.
- MPRs present on the plasma membrane recapture secreted enzymes, returning them to lysosomes.
- Lysosomal proteins are synthesized on ribosomes associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Lysosomes
- Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles characterized by an acidic internal pH, maintained by proton pumps.
- They contain acid hydrolases with M6P tags, which are recognized by MPRs for enzymatic activity.
- Clathrin-coated vesicles bud off from TGN, enclose enzymes and MPRs, and lose the clathrin coat upon reaching endosomes.
- In endosomes, low pH conditions allow enzymes to dissociate from their receptors.
Lysosomal Trafficking
- Vesicle formation at the TGN begins with the recruitment of the small GTPase ARF1.
- Clathrin-coated vesicles from TGN are associated with GGA, an adaptor protein that binds ARF and clathrin.
- GGA interacts with the cytosolic tails of membrane proteins (including MPRs), concentrating them in clathrin-coated vesicles.
- Clathrin coats are removed after vesicle budding, facilitating transport.
Proton Pumps
- Optimal function for acid hydrolases occurs at pH 4.6, maintained by H+-ATPase pumps in lysosomal membranes.
- Highly glycosylated integral membrane proteins protect the inner side of lysosomal membranes.
Lysosomes and Malaria
- Four species of Plasmodium parasites are responsible for most human malaria cases.
- Flu-like symptoms appear as parasite levels rise in the bloodstream, followed by febrile attacks with no treatment leading to chronic infection.
- Chloroquine targets the food vacuole (lysosome) of Plasmodium, raising pH and inactivating acid hydrolases.
Lysosomal Storage Disorders
- Deficiencies in lysosomal enzymes lead to undegraded substrate accumulation, causing various genetic disorders (~40-50 known).
- These disorders often impact the nervous system severely.
- Tay-Sachs disease is characterized by hexosaminidase A deficiency, leading to ganglioside GM2 accumulation; often fatal by age three.
I-cell Disease
- Associated with psychomotor retardation and skeletal deformities due to undigested glycosaminoglycans and glycolipids in lysosomes.
- Approximately eight acid hydrolases are secreted instead of being targeted to lysosomes, due to a deficiency in phosphotransferase.
Niemann-Pick Type C Disease
- Characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol and glycolipids in lysosomes due to defects in the proteins NPC1 or NPC2.
- NPC1 is crucial as a transporter in the endosomal-lysosomal system.
Summary – Intracellular Transport
- Protein sorting from TGN involves receptor-mediated mechanisms and soluble protein sorting for lysosomes and storage granules.
- Lysosomes contain acid hydrolases that operate efficiently in acidic conditions (pH 4.6-5.0).
- Defects in lysosomal proteins can cause storage diseases, leading to cellular damage and premature death.
