Study Notes
Golgi Apparatus: Structure and Function
- Golgi apparatus has two distinct faces: cis (facing ER) and trans (facing plasma membrane).
- Vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) enter the Golgi apparatus at the cis face and exit at the trans face.
- The Golgi apparatus cisternae serve as chambers for various chemical reactions, including glycosylation and assembly of molecules.
- Processed molecules in vesicles are delivered to specific intracellular or extracellular locations.
- Intracellular transport involves transport vesicles containing molecules to different cell compartments.
- Some vesicles released from the Golgi apparatus contain hydrolytic enzymes and serve in cellular digestion as lysosomes.
- Exocytosis involves unregulated (constitutive) and regulated (stimulated) secretion of vesicles containing materials for plasma membrane and extracellular matrix.
- Vesicle transport involves two basic steps: budding from a donor membrane and fusion with an acceptor membrane.
- COPI and COPII proteins direct vesicle movement between ER and Golgi, and within the Golgi, respectively.
- SNARE proteins mediate the fusion of transported vesicles with the membrane of the ER or the Golgi, ensuring correct targeting.
- Clathrin-coated vesicles are responsible for endocytosis and the transport of molecules from the trans Golgi network to lysosomes.
- Adaptor proteins mediate the binding of clathrin to membranes, facilitating the uptake and transport of cargo molecules.
