(RanGuanine Exchange Factor) promote exchange by acting as an activator Converts RanGDP to RanGTP

The Export Cycle
Requires NES (Nuclear Export Signal) Receptors recognize the NES RanGTP (in nucleus) binds receptor and cargo - activating export Once in the cytoplasm, Ran encounters its GTPase activation protein (GAP) GTP is converted to GDP - RanGDP returns to the nucleus with help from import re…
The Import Cycle
Nuclear import receptors recognize NLS (Localization) + bind cargo + protein for import Importin/Cargo complex binds + then is transported through the pore In nucleus the complex encounters RanGTP which displaces cargo and releases receptor. RanGTP is transported back to the cytoplasm…

Man-6-Phosphate
Added onto oligosaccharide chain is the CGN
Mitochondrial Transport
Proteins are made in the cytoplasm and their targeting signal directs them to the outer mitochondrial membrane Once the protein gets inside, the signal is cleaved off Post translational import
Hydrolytic Enzymes
Found in lysosomes
Clathrin
Protein that coats vesicles: Acts as a mechanical device to form vesicle Provides mechanism for selecting components and cargo to be carried by each vesicle Not glycosylated and do not have targeting signals Associated with vesicle formation at the cell membrane and when vesi…
COPII

COPI
Golgi to ER
Peroxisomal Matrix Proteins
Imported Post-Translation and are fully folded
H+ATPase
Maintains acidity of lysosomes
Phospholipase C
Increases cytosolic calcium levels
I-Cell Disease
No lysosomal enzymes are packaged correctly Caused by missing Man-6-P receptor of the Man-6-P transferase
Lysosomal Hydrolases
Found within lysosomes Degrade endocytosed material
Cytoplasmic Compartment
Site of recognition of the nuclear localization signal by an importin
Pinocytosis
Uptake of soluble, fluid-based material from outside the cell
Phagocytosis
Engulfment of particles (like bacteria) by direct attachment
Exocytosis
When vesicles (and their contents) are excreted from the cell in the extracellular space
Endocytosis
Engulfment from outside the cell Delivers materials to lysosomes for degradation
Late Endosome
A membrane-bound vesicle that arises from an early endosome and develops into a lysosomes Contain endocytosed material Sort cell surface receptors from the associated cargo
Lysosomes
Vesicle filled with enzymes that are utilized to break down material in the cell Arise from late endosomes Highly Acidic Do not sort proteins
Transcytosis
Soluble material endocytosed from one domain is delivered to another domain instead going to lysosomes Allows proteins to be moved across the barrier formed by the epithelium
