Q

Where are lysosomal enzymes tagged with mannose-6-phosphate?

A

Golgi

24
Q

Where is the mutation in Wilson’s disease?

A

Mutation in a protein pump for copper in the trans-Golgi network of liver cells

25
Q

What is the result of the mutated protein transporter in Wilson’s disease?

A

Impaired biliary excretion of copper

26
Q

What is the role of dysferlin?

A

Repair of microperforations in skeletal muscle plasma membranes

27
Q

Repair of microperforations in skeletal muscle plasma membranes is accomplished by what molecule?

A

Dysferlin

28
Q

The patching mechanism of dysferlin is dependent upon what mineral?

A

Calcium

29
Q

Mutations of the dysferlin gene lead to what three types of muscular dystrophy?

A

1) Miyoshi myopathy2) Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2b3) Distal myopathy tibialis anterior muscle onset

30
Q

How does a mutation in proinsulin lead to proinsulinemia?

A

1) Mutated proinsulin is missorted into the unregulated (constitutive) secretory pathway2) Prohormone converting enzymes are properly sorted in the regulated pathway3) Consequently, there is an absence of prohormone converting enzyme activity in the unregulated pathway

31

Q

Which endosomal compartment has a pH around 5.0?

A

46
Q

What are the four fates of receptor-ligand complexes?

A

1) Receptor is recycled, ligand is degraded or released for use (e.g. LDLr)2) Receptor and ligand are recycled (e.g. TfR)3) Receptor and ligand are degraded (e.g. FGFR3 - reverse occurs, leading to achondroplasia)4) Receptor and ligand are transported across cell and secreted (transcytosis, e.g. antibodies in glandular cells)

47
Q

What do lysosomes transport?

A
