    Study Notes

    Golgi Apparatus Structure and Function

    • The cis Golgi network is the side of the Golgi apparatus facing the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
    • The COPII protein complex is responsible for directing vesicles from the rough ER to the cis Golgi network.
    • The trans Golgi network is responsible for sorting and packaging proteins for their final destination.
    • The trans side of the Golgi apparatus is known as the convex side.

    Protein Modification in the Golgi Apparatus

    • N-linked glycosylation is the process where a sugar residue attaches to the amino acid asparagine on a protein.
    • O-linked glycosylation involves the addition of sugar residues to serine and threonine residues.
    • Phosphorylation of glycoproteins involves the addition of phosphate groups; this can alter protein function and targetting.
    • Trimming of sugar residues is a modification that removes specific sugar residues from glycoproteins.

    Lysosomal Targeting and Protein Recycling

    • Vesicles that become lysosomes are primarily responsible for degrading cellular waste and worn-out organelles.
    • Phosphorylation of mannose residues on glycoproteins specifically activates them for lysosomal destination.
    • Lysosomes play a role in protein recycling by breaking down misfolded or damaged proteins.
    • Proteins that are recycled after being broken down in lysosomes can be reused or degraded further.

    Transport and Function in the Golgi Apparatus

    • COPI proteins are responsible for retrograde transport from the trans Golgi back to the cis Golgi.
    • The cis side of the Golgi apparatus primarily receives proteins from the ER, modifying them and sorting them for their final destination.
    • After modification in the Golgi apparatus, proteins are packaged into vesicles for transport to their final destination.

    Golgi Apparatus Overview

    • The Golgi apparatus is a stack of flattened membrane-bound sacs called cisternae.
    • The Golgi apparatus is the main site of protein modification, sorting, and packaging in the cell.

    Glycoprotein Modification and Destination

    • N-linked glycosylation occurs in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
    • Glycoproteins with phosphorylated mannose residues are typically targeted to lysosomes.
    • Glycoproteins transported to the cell membrane travel through vesicles that bud off the trans Golgi network.

    Summary of Key Points

    • The cis Golgi network receives vesicles from the rough ER and initiates protein modification.
    • The trans Golgi network sorts and packages proteins into vesicles for their final destination.
    • N-linked glycosylation is the addition of a sugar residue to an asparagine amino acid.
    • O-linked glycosylation is the addition of a sugar residue to a serine or threonine amino acid.
    • Phosphorylation of mannose residues targets glycoproteins to lysosomes.
    • COPI proteins mediate retrograde transport from the trans Golgi back to the cis Golgi.
    • The primary role of the Golgi apparatus is to process and sort proteins before they reach their final destination.
