Intracellular Compartments

Table 12-1 Molecular Biology of the Cell (© Garland Science 2008)
Definition: organelle
A subcellular compartment or large macromolecular
complex, often membrane-enclosed, that has a
distinct structure, composition, and function.
Examples of membrane-enclosed organelles:
- Nucleus
- Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Golgi Apparatus

secrete digestive
enzymes, (RER
excretes)

The Endomembrane system the red enclosed parts; they all help each other
and work together
- the vacuoles in plants also a part of this system
8
Figure 12-1 Molecular Biology of the Cell (© Garland Science 2008)
Endomembrane system is involved in BOTH of these pathways!!
A) Biosynthetic/Secretory
pathways
– Biosynthesis
• Proteins and lipids made
in the ER delivered to the
membranes of other
organelles
– Secretion
• secreted proteins move OUT of the cell
B) Endocytic Pathway
• endocytosis - material moving INTO the cell

secretion to outside
vesical luminal
contents come from extracellular space
For example:
from the ER to the Golgi target compartment

change!*

How are specific proteins targeted to
different organelles?
mRNA arrives in the cytoplasm and translation
starts on ribosomes in the cytosol.
A cytosolic protein: translated in the cytosol will have no sorting schematic

Pancreatic cells make lots of secreted
proteins
• Use these cells to follow the
path of newly synthesized
proteins.
– Provide the cells with a short
“pulse” of radioactive amino
acids (AA).
– Follow the path of these AA
as they are incorporated into
proteins.
A Technique called a:
pulse-chase experiment
give cells radioactive AAs (pulse)
follow where they go (chase)
16
Proteins move from the...
RER lumen to the Golgi apparatus then to secretory vesicles from where they leave the cell.
• Constitutive Pathway:
– Continual production of
secreted proteins.
– e.g. collagen
Collagen
• Regulated Pathway:
– Proteins are stored in
secretory granules ready

Protein Sorting Mechanisms
(both ways; only nucleus to cytosol and v.v.)
3. Vesicular: membrane-enclosed
transport vesicles ferry proteins
from one compartment to
another.

Signal Sequences
• A stretch of the amino acid sequence of a protein
that directs the protein to the correct location in
the cell.
• Each signal sequence specifies a specific
destination in the cell.
Nucleus, cytosol, mitochondria, peroxisomes, ER, etc.

Recognition-Particle-SRP
21
Signal Sequences
• Often found at the N-
terminus of the protein.
• Signal peptidases: can
Signal peptidase
NH2
remove the signal sequence
from the finished protein.
22
Recap: Sorting of a Secreted Protein.
• Translation starts on cytosolic ribosomes.
• Signal sequence at the amino-terminal end directs the
protein to the ER.
• The signal sequence is: hydrophobic

1. CytosolER
2. ER Golgi
What’s going on
in the Golgi?
glycosylation
- adding sugars, lipids, and
proteins
3. Golgi PM
27
Definition
• The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and
lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum,
modifies them, and then dispatches them to
other destinations in the cell.

Nuclear envelope

Definitions
• Endosome: membrane-bound organelle that
carries materials newly ingested by endocytosis
and passes them to lysosomes for degradation.
35
Lysosomal proteins are found in
heterogeneous looking compartments
36
Figure 13-38 Molecular Biology of the Cell (© Garland Science 2008)
Lysosomes are the main site of
intracellular digestion
• Contain approx 40 types
of hydrolytic enzymes:
– Proteases, nucleases,
lipases etc.
• These enzymes are:
– Acid hydrolases
– Require an acidic
environment proteins don't work in high pH
• Uses an ATPase to pump H+ ions into
the lumen, creates acidic environment
37
Figure 13-36 Molecular Biology of the Cell (© Garland Science 2008)
Lysosomes
• Low pH requirement of lysosomal
enzymes protects contents of the
cytosol from digestion.
• Lysosomal membrane proteins are
glycosylated to protect them from
proteases in the lumen
• Transport proteins in the lysosomal
membrane transfer the products of
digestion out of the lysosome to the
cytosol
Ex. amino acids, sugars
38
Figure 13-37 Molecular Biology of the Cell (© Garland Science 2008)
Formation of lysosomes
• Lysosomal proteins from the ER and Golgi
are incorporated into endosomes at different stages.
• “classical” lysosomes:
– Majority of endocytosed
material has been digested
However lysosomal
hydrolases delivered
from the Golgi are found in
early/late endosomes
Where do lysosomal membrane lipids come from? The golgi and plasma membrane

Plant Vacuoles
large, fluid-filled vessicles
• Occupy 30-90% of the cell volume
• Diverse
• Involved in:
– Digestion
– Nutrient storage
– Waste storage
– Increasing cell size
– Turgor pressure
maintaining osmotic balance ; pushes against cell wall to prevent wilting

Peroxisomes
• Use molecular oxygen to
oxidise organic molecules
• Oxidative reactions
produce hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2)
• H2O2 is toxic; also
degraded in peroxisomes
• Function in the
breakdown of long fatty
acid chains.

How does a nuclear protein get into
the nucleus?
• Transport is:
gated; nuclear pore complex (NPCs)
• Occurs through:

The Estrogen Receptor (ER) is a ligand-
modulated regulator of transcription
• When estradiol is NOT present
estrogen receptor is in the cytosol, NLS is hidden
• When estradiol enters the cell
NLS exposed, movement to the nucleus
can exposed the proteins (needed to go to the nucleus)
NLS
