    Study Notes

    Golgi Apparatus Structure and Function

    • Golgi apparatus: A cellular organelle comprised of flattened, stacked membrane-bound sacs known as cisternae. It functions primarily in the modification, sorting, and packaging of proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

    • Cisternal progression: Proteins move through the Golgi in a sequential process, starting from the cis Golgi (receiving end, facing the ER), progressing through the medial Golgi, and ending at the trans Golgi (sending end, facing the cell membrane or lysosomes).

    • Protein modification: The Golgi modifies proteins through various processes, including glycosylation (addition of sugars), phosphorylation (addition of phosphate groups), and proteolytic cleavage (removal of amino acid sequences). These modifications determine the final destination and function of the protein.

    • Glycosylation:

      • N-linked glycosylation: Involves attaching sugar residues to an asparagine amino acid within the protein. Plays a role in protein folding, stability, and signaling.
      • O-linked glycosylation: Involves attaching sugar residues to the hydroxyl group of serine or threonine amino acids. Contributes to protein folding, stability, and cell-cell interactions.

    • Phosphorylation: Involves the addition of a phosphate group to a protein, often influencing its activity or signaling capacity. For example, phosphorylation of mannose residues in proteins signals their destination to lysosomes for degradation.

    • Vesicle transport: Proteins within the Golgi are packaged into membrane-bound vesicles. Vesicles bud from the Golgi membrane, transport proteins to their target destinations, and fuse with the recipient membrane.

    • Transport proteins:

      • COP-II proteins: Assist in anterograde transport from the ER to the cis Golgi.
      • COP-I proteins: Assist in retrograde transport from the cis Golgi back to the ER.
      • Clathrin proteins: Help in the formation of vesicles that transport proteins to the lysosomes or the cell membrane for secretion.

    • Lysosome: A cellular organelle that acts as the 'garbage collector' of the cell. It breaks down damaged or worn-out cellular debris and recycles the components.

    • Exocytosis: The process by which proteins are released from the cell through fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane.

    • Endocytosis: The process by which the cell membrane invaginates, forming vesicles that transport proteins for recycling or degradation.

    • Importance of Golgi: Plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, secretion, and cellular function. Particularly prominent in cells that require extensive protein secretion, such as plasma cells, goblet cells, and Paneth cells.
