‭ ecture 1(Organelles and trafficking)‬
L
‭-‬ ‭Endocytosis is - curve and exocytosis is + curve‬
‭-‬ ‭When something is inserted or wrapped around the outer→ -‬
‭-‬ ‭When something is inserted in inner→ - curve‬
‭-‬ ‭If the outer is short→ - and if the inner os short→ +‬
‭-‬ ‭Cholesterol help maintain fluidity‬
‭-‬ ‭Higher temp= superfluid where cholesterol keep rigid‬
‭-‬ ‭Lower temp= superacked where cholesterol keep it fluidity‬
‭-‬ ‭Glycolipid= in cell recognize a‬
‭-‬ ‭Peripheral protein= only attached to one side of the membrane‬
‭-‬ ‭Cell signaling‬
‭-‬ ‭Integral protein= spans across the membrane‬
‭-‬ ‭Moving molecules across‬
‭-‬ ‭Amphipathic=having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts‬
‭Cytosolic (Inner) Leaflet:‬
‭-‬ ‭Phosphatidylserine (PS) → Negatively charged, involved in signaling (e.g., apoptosis‬
‭when flipped to the outer leaflet).‬
‭-‬ ‭Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) → Helps with membrane curvature and vesicle‬
‭formation.‬
‭-‬ ‭Phosphatidylinositol (PI) → Involved in intracellular signaling and vesicle trafficking.‬
‭-‬ ‭Extracellular (Outer) Leaflet:‬
‭-‬ ‭Phosphatidylcholine (PC) → Major structural phospholipid that maintains membrane‬
‭stability.‬
‭-‬ ‭Sphingomyelin (SM) → Involved in forming lipid rafts with cholesterol.‬
‭-‬ ‭Glycolipids → Important for cell recognition and communication.‬

‭ IPID SYNTHESIS‬
L
‭Fatty acids are brought into the cytosol by fatty acid-binding‬
‭proteins.‬
‭Enzymes attach CoA (a helper molecule) to activate fatty‬
‭acids.‬
‭These activated fatty acids are added to glycerol-3-phosphate,‬
‭forming phosphatidic acid.‬
‭A phosphatase enzyme removes a phosphate, turning it into‬
‭diacylglycerol.‬
‭A choline phosphotransferase enzyme adds CDP-choline,‬
‭forming phosphatidylcholine, a major membrane lipid.‬

‭Lecture 2(Membrane protein transport)‬
‭-‬ ‭Topology‬
‭-‬ ‭Like having two door that lead to different‬
‭way but the inside remains the same‬
‭-‬ ‭When a protein start in the ER, it‬
‭never go to cytoplasm but have a own pathway.‬

, ‭-‬ ‭ rotein is inside the ER lumen it will remain inside a connected pathway of‬
P
‭organelles and NEVER RE ENTER CYTOPLASM‬
‭-‬ ‭Protein into ER‬
‭-‬ ‭If‬‭soluble‬‭, the protein enters the ER lumen.‬
‭-‬ ‭Any protein that need to go to ER has a “label” on it which is called the signal‬
‭sequences (‬‭s‬‭hort hydrophobic sequence at the N-terminus of the protein.)‬
‭-‬ ‭Recognize by‬‭SRP‬‭→ Pause translation and carry it to the ER and bring‬
‭onto the‬‭SRP receptor‬‭on the membrane‬
‭-‬ ‭Sec61 translocon‬‭is like a door that opens to let the protein in.--> protein‬
‭is in through this‬
‭-‬ ‭Inside= cut off the signal sequences by‬‭signal peptidase (‬‭if‬
‭membrane bound=sequence could be cleavedO‬
‭-‬ ‭Co-translational→ assembling the package during delivery‬
‭-‬ ‭The protein is threaded into the ER‬‭while‬‭it's still being made.‬
‭-‬ ‭Uses the‬‭Sec61 pore‬‭to pull the protein inside.‬
‭-‬ ‭Post-translational→ pushing a ready made package through the door‬
‭-‬ ‭The protein is‬‭fully made in the cytoplasm first‬‭and then moved into‬
‭the ER.‬
‭-‬ ‭This process‬‭requires energy‬‭from proteins called‬‭BiP and Sec62/63/72‬
‭to pull the protein inside.‬
‭-‬ ‭If‬‭membrane-bound‬‭, it has a stop-transfer or start-transfer sequence determining‬
‭orientation.‬
‭Single-Pass Transmembrane Proteins‬‭(One membrane crossing)‬
‭-‬ ‭Uses‬‭one start-transfer sequence‬‭(or signal sequence) to enter the membrane.‬
‭-‬ ‭A‬‭stop-transfer sequence‬‭prevents further translocation into the lumen.‬
‭-‬ ‭The rest of the protein stays in the‬‭cytoplasm‬‭.‬
‭-‬ ‭Example:‬‭ER receptors, some enzyme-linked receptors.‬
‭Multi-Pass Transmembrane Proteins‬‭(Multiple crossings)‬
‭-‬ ‭Start sequence= open the Sec61 translocon.The ribosome keeps translating, and the‬
‭protein enters the ER lumen.‬
‭-‬ ‭Stop=Part of the protein is inside the ER lumen.Part of the protein is stuck in the‬
‭membrane.Part of the protein remains in the cytoplasm.‬
‭-‬ ‭Another start come= push down the same protein down.‬
‭-‬ ‭More (+) charges on N-terminal side → N stays in cytoplasm, C goes into ER‬
‭-‬ ‭More (+) charges on C-terminal side → C stays in cytoplasm, N goes into ER‬
‭-‬ ‭Protein modifications‬
‭-‬ ‭In ER=disulfide bond to stable 3 nd 4 structure‬
‭-‬ ‭Glycosylation‬
‭-‬ ‭N-linked glycosylation‬
‭(Asparagine-linked) → Starts in the ER.‬
‭-‬ ‭Oligosaccharyl transferase‬
‭adds a sugar chain to an asparagine (Asn) amino acid.‬
‭-‬ ‭O-linked glycosylation‬
‭(Serine/Threonine-linked) → Happens in the Golgi.‬
