Cards

Term
Lipid Anchors:
Definition
Myristoyl anchor, palmitoyl anchor, farnesyl anchor
Term
Drug delivery across BloodBrainBarrier:
Definition
1.Inhibit efflux pumps 2.Couple something w/actively transported molecule 3.Open up tight junctions
Term
Glycosoaminoglycans
Definition
The 'gel' like substance. Takes up bulk of ECM. Helps receptors, sequestering ligands.
Term
Fibrous/Adhesive Proteins in the ECM
Definition
Collagen IV is an example.
Give the ECM elasticity and tensile strength. "The rebar to the concrete(GAGs)"
Term
In ER, Oligosaccharides are added to:
Definition
Asn-x-Ser/Thr
Term
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria:
Definition
Mutation in PIG-A. Catalyzes 1st step in GPI anchoring. Usually protects RBCs from complement lysis.
Term
Hereditary Emphysema
Definition
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.
Elastase is not inhibited, so it eats up the elastin in lung tissue. Smoking w/this guarantees cancer.
Term
Cystic Fibrosis
Definition
Mutation in Chloride channel due to failed export of a protein from ER.
Term
O-linked Oligosaccharide addition:
Definition
Happens in Golgi. Added one-by-one to Ser/Thr residues.
Term
Destination of Proteins Leaving Golgi:
Definition
Lysosome, CellMembrane (constitutive), Secretory vesicles (signal mediated)
Term
Mannose-6-Phosphate
Definition
Targeting signal added to proteins to go to lysosome. Binds to golgi membrane M6P receptors and clathrin binds outside to form vesicle.
Term
Fusion Proteins:
Definition
vSNARES - on vesicle
tSNARES - on target
a-helices wrap around each other acting as winches to fuse membranes.
Term
Botox
Definition
Blocks AcH release by cleaving synaptic vSNARES and tSNARES
Term
Endocytosis Types:
Definition
Pinocytosis (constitutive), Phagocytosis (Triggered for large molecules)
Term
Familiar Hypercholesterolemia
Definition
High blood LDL levels.
3 Possibilities: LDL receptor not made, doesn't bind, or doesn't internalize the LDL.
Term
Autophagy
Definition
Organelles and cytosol are engulfed by internal membrane and delivered to the lysosome.
Term
Nuclear Transport:
Definition
Ran-GDP higher in cytosol.
Ran-GTP higher in nucleus.
Loading favored in cytosol, release favored in nucleus. Ran-GAP dephosphorylates Ran-GTP as it comes into cytosol.
Term
Peroxisomes:
Definition
Make H2O2 and such.
Makes Plasmalogen. Which makes most myelin phospholipids.
Term
Zelwegger Syndrome:
Definition
Peroxisomes are empty. Defects in import pathway (Pex2 Transporter)
Term
Lipid Bodies:
Definition
Maintain cell homeostasis. Generated and used rapidly. In all cells.
Derived from ER, monolayer of phospholipids.
Term
Muscular Dystrophy:
Definition
Defect in Dystrophin. Binds Actin to cell membrane. Severe muscle weakness.
Term
Microtubule Motor Proteins
Definition
Kinesin: towards (+) end
Dynein: towards (-) end
Term
Kartegener Syndrome:
Definition
Immobile Cilia. Missing Dyneins. Causes infertility and lung infections. Organ position reversed.
Term
HGPS
Definition
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome.
Mutation in LaminA so it isn't removed after Farnesyl anchoring to nuclear membrane. Premature aging.
Term
Polycystic Kidney Disease
Definition
Due to defects in the primary (sensory) cilia used in cell-to-cell communication. Kidney cells just keep multiplying.
Term
Glycocalyx
Definition
Carb coat on surface of actin microvilli in intestinal epithelium.
Term
Stereocilia
Definition
Found in Epidydimas and Inner ear. Actin.
Term
Cell Junction Types:
Definition
Occluding (Tight), Communication (Gap), Anchoring (Desmosomes, Hemidesmosomes)
Term
Desmosomes
Definition
Connect cell to other cells using Cadherins. Anchor junctions.
Term
Hemidesmosomes
Definition
Connects cell to ECM using Integrins. Anchor junctions.
Term
In Gap Junctions, what regulates the conductance?
Definition
cAMP. "Increased cAMP closes the GAP"
Term
Connect Actin to Cadherins:
Definition
Catenins. Examples include Vinculin and Actinin.
Term
Na+/K+ Pump
Definition
Pumps 3 Na+ out and 2 K+ in. P-type that auto-phosphorylates itself.
Term
ABC type Pumps
Definition
Have 2 ATP binding sites. Malaria protists overexpress it to pump out drugs, as do cancer cells.
Term
3 Major Types of Signal Receptors:
Definition
Ion Channel, G-Protein, Enzyme Linked
Term
Types of Enzyme-Linked Receptors:
Definition
P-Type: Autophosphorylate (Na/K pump)
F/V Types: turn mech energy into chemical (ATP synth)
ABC: 2 ATP binding sites (efflux pumps)
Term
I-Cell Disease
Definition
Mutation in hydrolase delivery. Empty lysosomes.
Term
Tay Sachs
Definition
Build up of gangliosides due to lack of HexA.
"Gangs sack buildings"
Term
F/V Type Pumps:
Definition
ATP synthase. Also pump H+ to alter pH.
Term
P-Type Pumps:
Definition
Cation pumps. Na+/K+ pumps.
"P is positive. Cations"
Term
Synaptotagmin
Definition
Regulates Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis. Binds the vSNARES preventing exocytosis. When Ca++ comes in it binds it causing it to release the vSNARE
