Study Notes
Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Complex Overview
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) does not have ribosomes and forms vesicles and sinuous canaliculi in the cell, often corresponding to terminal areas of rough reticulum
- SER may adopt unique arrangements such as concentric circles around liposomes in steroid-producing cells and anastomosed canaliculi in striated muscle cells
- SER functions include degradation of toxic substances, storage of proteins, and synthesis of steroids, triglycerides, and phospholipids
- SER shares general functions with rough endoplasmic reticulum, as well as specific functions like storage and conduction of Ca2+ ions involved in muscle contraction
- Golgi complex, observed by Camillo Golgi, is a membranous system directly related to the endoplasmic reticulum and the nuclear envelope
- Golgi complex location varies among cell types, with fractions dispersed around the nucleus in neurons
- Golgi complex consists of stacked flattened sacs and cisternae surrounded by vesicles, exhibiting a manifest polarity with forming (cis-face) and maturating (trans-face) sides
- The number of Golgi sacs varies between 4 and 8, with a thicker membrane than the endoplasmic reticulum, and a lumen ranging from 200 to 300 Å
- Transfer vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum, coated with the protein clathrin, contain synthesised substances to be processed in the Golgi complex
- Clathrin-coated vesicles attach to the convex forming cis-face of the Golgi sacs, with a diameter of about 200Å and moderately electrodense content
- The Golgi complex is involved in processing and transforming synthesised substances, and the sacs tend to dilate towards the ends, forming waste vesicles
- Golgi complex plays a crucial role in the modification and sorting of proteins and lipids, as well as in the formation of lysosomes and secretory vesicles
Cellular Organelles: Golgi Complex and Mitochondria
- Golgi complex consists of sacs that produce vesicles of different sizes, which can be observed under light microscopy using specific dyes.
- Golgi complex plays a role in concentrating substances, synthesizing polysaccharides, forming secretory granule membranes, and cell membrane turnover.
- Mitochondria are semi-autonomous structures involved in energy production, first described by Altmann in 1894 and named by Benda in 1897.
- Mitochondria exhibit extrinsic movements within the cell and vary in size and shape, typically 0.5-7 µm in length and 0.2-0.5 µm in width, with two membranes and folded inner membranes.
- The matrix space within mitochondria contains DNA, RNA, ribosomes, protein inclusions, and dense granules, where most mitochondrial activities occur.
- Mitochondria are involved in oxidative phosphorylation, beta-oxidation of fatty acids, glucose degradation, the Krebs cycle, and other cellular functions.
- Golgi complex and mitochondria are essential organelles with distinct roles in cellular functions and are visible under specific visualization methods due to their unique structures and functions.
- Golgi complex is responsible for the formation of secretory granules and is involved in the synthesis of polysaccharides, while mitochondria primarily function in energy production.
- Golgi complex vesicles can be observed using histochemical and histoenzymological techniques, showing positive reactions for specific enzymes and dyes.
- Mitochondria exhibit extrinsic movements within the cell and are typically located in areas where energy is highly needed, such as muscle fibers and the retina.
- Mitochondria have a complex constitution, involving oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid and protein synthesis, ion secretion, and concentration of protein substances.
- Both Golgi complex and mitochondria play crucial roles in cellular processes, including the synthesis, concentration, and secretion of substances, as well as energy production.
Ribosomes and Endoplasmic Reticulum in Cell Biology
- Ribosomes are 250 by 150Å in size and consist of two subunits, 60S and 40S, in eukaryotic cells.
- Both ribosomal subunits contain 28S RNA and 18S RNA, associated with proteins, and are involved in protein synthesis.
- Ribosomes can form polyribosomes or polysomes with mRNA and may attach to endoplasmic reticulum membranes to form rough endoplasmic reticulum.
- Ribosomes are complex machines linking ribonucleic acids to specific enzymes and proteins for protein synthesis.
- mRNA, originating from the nucleus, is involved in protein synthesis and is associated with ribosomes, particularly tRNA.
- Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) can be rough (granular) or smooth (agranular), depending on its association with ribosomes.
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and consists of cisternae with ribosomes, which can take various forms.
- The essential components of rough endoplasmic reticulum are its membrane unit, ribosomes, and ribophorins, which couple ribosomes and evacuate proteins formed by polysomes.
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and has a relationship with the cytoplasmic vacuolar system and the cytoskeleton.
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum may have specific functions, such as participating in substance transport and osmotic regulation, as well as general cellular functions.
- The rough endoplasmic reticulum is observed to have dilated cisterns in the case of high protein synthesis activity.
- The rough endoplasmic reticulum is related to the formation of transfer vesicles between the reticulum and the Golgi complex.
