Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

Protein Degradation iRAT

front 1

Why is protein degradation important?

back 1

It allows the cell to have a constant supply of amino acids and prevents the accumulation of abnormal proteins.

front 2

Short-lived proteins with a half-life with seconds and minutes are degraded by what pathway?

back 2

Cytosolic ATP dependent pathway

front 3

Cytosolic ATP dependent pathway is mediated by-

back 3

the proteosome

front 4

What is the function of the proteosome?

back 4

carries out hydrolytic cleavage

front 5

What degrades proteins with long half lives?

back 5

Lysosomes

front 6

What pathways can degrade proteins?

back 6

Cytosolic ATP dependent and Lysosomal

front 7

What is a lysosome?

back 7

membrane-enclosed organelle that contain the digestive enzymes: lipases, nucleases and proteases.

front 8

What is the function of a lysosome?

back 8

the digestive system of the cell, breaks down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign particles in the cell using digestive enzymes

front 9

What is the term for the cellular process that breaks down and recycles olf, damaged, or abnormal cell parts?

back 9

Autophagy

front 10

What is the process of autophagy?

back 10

a process where vesicles called autophagosomes engulf small amounts of cytoplasm or specific organelles using the endoplasmic reticulum

front 11

what occurs when vesicles fuse with lysosomes?

back 11

the release of the lysosomal hydrolytic enzymes causing degradation of macromolecules

front 12

LC3-I and LC3-II does what for autophagosomes

back 12

decides and regulates

front 13

When you have more LC3-II you will have more

back 13

autophagosomes

front 14

What is a autolysosome?

back 14

a compartment that is created when an autophagosome fuses with a lysosome

front 15

Lysosomes can selectivley degrade-

back 15

cytosolic proteins

front 16

The target proteins of lysosomes are usallly proteins with

back 16

long half lives

front 17

The function of dispensible proteins is -

back 17

to be sacrifies to make amino acids and energy to support basic metabolic reactions

front 18

The ATP dependent pathway involves the protein ______________

back 18

ubiquitin (highly conserved protein containing 76 amino acids)

front 19

What is the function of ubiquitin in the ATP dependent pathway?

back 19

it tags proteins that are destined for destruction via. a covalent attatchment

front 20

What are the mechanisms for recognition?

back 20

Half-life of proteins, recogition of phsophorylated substrates, recogition of ancillary porteins bound to the substrate, recogition of mutated abnormal protein.

front 21

The half-life of proteins correlates with what?

back 21

amino-terminal residue

front 22

Proteins with N-terminal Met, Ser, Ala, Thr, Val, or Gly have half lives greater than?

back 22

20 hours

front 23

Proteins with the N-terminal Phe, Leu, Asp, Lys, or Arg have half-lives of ?

back 23

3 mins or less.

front 24

Proteins rich in Pro (P), Glu (E), Ser (S), and Thr (T) are more ____________ degraded than other proteins

back 24

rapidly

front 25

Ubiquitin is ____________ linked to proteins through the ATP dependent pathway involving enzymes ___ , ____ , ____.

back 25

covalently, E1, E2, E3

front 26

Ubiquitination of proteins results in what?

back 26

the linking the carboxy-terminal glycine residue in ubiquitin to a lysine residue in the protein to be degraded

front 27

What is the function of the E1 enzyme?

back 27

acitivates ubiquitin, to bind to it

front 28

What is the function of the E2 enzyme?

back 28

conjugates ubiquitin

front 29

The function of E3 enzyme?

back 29

ubitquitin ligase, promotes the transfer of ubiquitin from E2 to the lysine residue of the protein recognized by the E3 as being slated for degradation.
