The trans-Golgi network is the site of multiple sorting processes as proteins and lipids exit the Golgi complex. Compare and contrast the sorting of proteins to lysosomes with the packaging of proteins into regulated secretory vesicles such as those containing insulin. Compare and contrast the sorting of proteins to the basolateral versus apical cell surfaces in MDCK cells and in hepatocytes.

Using the the enzyme acid hydrolase in the lysosome: What is the final destination in which the protein will function? Which features will the protein receive during its manufacture? What is the primary structure (general)? Where is the primary structure made? Where are the secondary and tertiary structures made? Will the protein travel through any organelles during its manufacture? Which ones? What would be the overall result if some part of the manufacture process went wrong, such that the protein ended up as nonfunctional?
With reference to named examples, give a detailed account of the molecules and processes involved in trafficking soluble and membrane proteins from the Trans Golgi Network (TGN) to lysosomes. Include in your answer an explanation of how the trafficking machinery is recycled back, to the Trans Golgi Network in each case.
Assume that during the process of creating the SHH protein an error was made. Instead of producing a 462-amino-acid-long protein, you only make a 20-amino-acid-long protein. Assume the error is detected in the Golgi apparatus. Will this protein be exported into the extracellular space? If your answer is no, what will happen to this protein?
You are investigating a lysosomal storage disease and you discover that newly synthesized lysosome hydrolases (proteins that should be sent to the lysosome) are secreted from the cells rather than being delivered to the lysosomes (where they should normally be located). What is the most likely explanation for this finding? (Hint: what might be different about the proteins that would cause them to not end up in the correct location?)
In eukaryotic cells secreted proteins are targeted first to the endoplasmic reticulum and then pass through the Golgi, before being released from secretory vesicles into the extracellular space. A much simpler route would be for ribosomes synthesising secretory proteins to be targeted to a translocon in the plasma membrane, with the protein being secreted directly as it is translated. List three potential advantages of the former, more circuitous, route for protein secretion over the simpler, more direct, alternative route suggested.
The cisternal space of ER is continuous with prenuclear space between the two membranes of the nuclear envelope and can communicate with the internals spaces of the Golgi complex and lysosome by means of _____________ that shuttle between these structures. Which of the following experimental observations would suggest that chromosomes move by polymerization of tubulin subunits?
With regard to cytoskeletal structure and function, describe the molecules involved in the transport of vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane
The integral membrane protein XYZR has a single alpha helix spanning the membrane. Where was this protein made and what can you say about amino acids that occur/do not occur in the alpha helix versus the domains sticking out on both sides of the membrane?
True about the Golgi Complex EXCEPT A number of stacks of differing compositions make up the complex that is enclosed by one continuous membrane. The cis- and trans- Golgi network are at farthest ends from each other, one is nearest the ER. Vesicles bud out of the trans Golgi network to distribute their cargo to targetted destinations. The various Golgi stacks have varying compositions.
Briefly explain how the membrane composition of the Golgi apparatus but not that of the ER is capable of sorting transmembrane proteins.
Genetic testing of a 29-month-old boy shows a mutation in the Phe residue at position 508 in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTCR) gene. Cultured skin fibroblasts from the boy contain an abnormal form of CFTCR protein bound to ubiquitin. Which of the following structures is the most likely site of elimination of these abnormal proteins in this patient? A) Endoplasmic reticulum B) Endosome C) Golgi complex D) Lysosome E) Proteasome
Various types of vesicle coats have been implicated in membrane traffic pathways such as endocytosis, export from the ER to the Golgi, and transport between Golgi cisternae. But so far, no coat has been identified for the secretory vesicles that carry material from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. Do you think such a coat is likely to exist?
