The Compartmentalization of Eukaryotic Cells

Three categories of compartments 三种区室

  1. the cytoplastic matrix 细胞质基质
  2. the endomembrane system
    ER, Golgi apparatus, Lysosomes
  3. membrane-bound organelles
    mitochondria, peroxisomes, and the nucleus

Cytoplasmic Matrix

细胞质基质,也叫做cytosol胞质溶胶

highly ordered, key is cytoskeleton

function

  1. Performs most of intermediary metabolism.
    执行大部分中间代谢
  2. The site of protein and fat synthesis
  3. The function of cytoskeleton
    维持细胞形态,运动,物质运输,组织细胞质基质
  4. The Functions of membrane system
    divide the cytoplasm into compartments,载体蛋白和通道蛋白maintain the ion gradient across membrane
  5. Protein post-translational modification and selective degradation
    蛋白质翻译后修饰和选择性降解

Endoplasmic Reticulum ER 内质网

A central role in both lipid, protein, sugar synthesis.

a network of tubules (管状) and flattened sacs (扁平囊状)

rER

rough ER 粗面内质网

Has ribosomes on the cytosolic side of continuous flattened sacs.

Site of membrane and secretory protein synthesis

sER

smooth ER 光面内质网

Is an interconnecting network of tubular membrane elements

Lipid synthesis, signal transduction

alt text

function

  1. The main function of rER is to synthesize protein.
    分泌蛋白,膜上的蛋白,细胞器中的蛋白

  2. sER is an important site for lipid synthesis.

  3. Modification and processing of proteins
    ① glycosylation糖基化
    ② form disulide bonds二硫键
    ③ fold and assembly
    ④ specific hydorlysis and cleavage

  4. Folding and assembly of newly synthesized polypeptide chains

  5. Other Functions of sER
    内质网储存酶(肝细胞用于解毒),存储Ca2+(肌浆网)

Golgi Apparatus 高尔基体

distribution center

the factory of sugar synthesis in cells

structure

分cis和trans
cis靠近细胞核, 凸面
trans靠近细胞膜, 凹面

alt text

  1. CGN & cis cisterna
    CGN accepts the newly synthesized substances from ER and sort into the medial cisterna

  2. medial cisterna
    Most of the glycosyl modification and processing process occurs

  3. trans cisterna & TGN
    Sorting and packaging of proteins to form vesicles, and transport of proteins to their final destinations.
    Some “late” protein modifications also occur in TGN.

function

  1. Protein packaging and sorting
    有三个pathways
    ① lysosome
    ② regulated secretion pathway
    ③ constitutive secretion pathway
    alt text

  2. The glycosylation modification of most proteins or lipids
    ① The glycosylation of most proteins promote protein folding and enhance protein stability
    促进蛋白折叠,增强稳定性
    ② Sugar chain of glycoprotein is used as a guiding signal for Golgi apparatus to package and sort proteins
    指导打包和分类
    ③ Sugar chains on the cell surface and extracellular matrix are involved in the cell recognition, adhesion
    细胞表面的糖链参与识别和黏连
    ④ Sugar chains also affect the water solubility and charge of proteins
    影响水溶性和电荷

  1. Protease hydrolysis
    ① 切掉proprotein蛋白原不需要的部分,变成mature peptides,比如胰岛素
    alt text
    ② 一些蛋白质在粗面内质网(rER)合成期间是含有多个相同氨基酸序列的前体蛋白,然后在高尔基体中被水解形成相同的活性肽
    ③ Same protein precursor前体 may be processed in different ways in different cells to produce different kinds of peptides

Lysosomes 溶酶体

monolayer 单层膜

filled with variety of acid hydrolases
多种酸性水解酶

酶在粗面内质网合成,经高尔基体出芽形成

main function is to intracellular digestion 胞内消化

structure

溶酶体膜上有

    嵌入式H+泵,溶酶体内酶最适pH是5
  2. multiple carrier proteins
  3. Intense glycosylation of membrane proteins
    高度糖基化的蛋白,防止被降解

divide

Primary/early lysosome (初级溶酶体)
Secondary/late lysosome (次级溶酶体)
Residual body (后溶酶体即残质体)

function

The basic function of lysosome is intracellular digestion

which is of great significance for maintaining the normal metabolic activity of cells and preventing microbial infection

维持正常代谢活性和防止微生物感染

有三种作用途径

  1. Endocytosis (内吞作用)
  2. Phagocytosis (吞噬作用)
  3. Autophagy (自噬作用)
