Tour of the Cell and the Central Dogma
3
Prokaryote bacteria cells Types of cells Eukaryote animal cells - no organelles - organelles Eukaryote plant cells
4
Why organelles? Specialized structures specialized functions cilia or flagella for locomotion Containers partition cell into compartments create different local environments separate pH, or concentration of materials distinct & incompatible functions lysosome & its digestive enzymes Membranes as sites for chemical reactions unique combinations of lipids & proteins embedded enzymes & reaction centers chloroplasts & mitochondria mitochondria chloroplast Golgi ER
5
Cells gotta work to live! What jobs do cells have to do? make proteins proteins control every cell function make energy for daily life for growth make more cells growth repair renewal
6
2007-2008 Building Proteins
7
Proteins do all the work! cells DNA proteins organism
8
Cells functions Building proteins read DNA instructions build proteins process proteins folding modifying removing amino acids adding other molecules e.g, making glycoproteins for cell membrane address & transport proteins
9
Building Proteins Organelles involved nucleus ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Golgi apparatus vesicles nucleusribosomeER Golgi apparatus vesicles The Protein Assembly Line
10
nuclear pores nuclear pore nuclear envelope nucleolus histone protein chromosome DNA Function protects DNA Structure nuclear envelope double membrane membrane fused in spots to create pores allows large macromolecules to pass through Nucleus
11
DNA Nucleus mRNA nuclear membrane small ribosomal subunit large ribosomal subunit cytoplasm mRNA nuclear pore production of mRNA from DNA in nucleus mRNA travels from nucleus to ribosome in cytoplasm through nuclear pore 1 2
13
Nucleolus Function ribosome production build ribosome subunits from rRNA & proteins exit through nuclear pores to cytoplasm & combine to form functional ribosomes small subunit large subunit ribosome rRNA & proteins nucleolus
14
small subunit large subunit Ribosomes Function protein production Structure rRNA & protein 2 subunits combine 0.08 m Ribosomes Rough ER Smooth ER
15
membrane proteins Types of Ribosomes Free ribosomes suspended in cytosol synthesize proteins that function in cytosol Bound ribosomes attached to endoplasmic reticulum synthesize proteins for export or for membranes
16
Endoplasmic Reticulum Function processes proteins manufactures membranes synthesis & hydrolysis of many compounds Structure membrane connected to nuclear envelope & extends throughout cell
17
Types of ER roughsmooth
18
Smooth ER function Membrane production Many metabolic processes synthesis synthesize lipids oils, phospholipids, steroids & sex hormones hydrolysis hydrolyze glycogen into glucose in liver detoxify drugs & poisons in liver ex. alcohol & barbiturates
19
Membrane Factory Build new membrane synthesize phospholipids builds membranes ER membrane expands bud off & transfer to other parts of cell that need membranes
20
Rough ER function Produce proteins for export out of cell protein secreting cells packaged into transport vesicles for export
21
Synthesizing proteins cytoplasm cisternal space mRNA ribosome membrane of endoplasmic reticulum polypeptide signal sequence ribosome
22
Golgi Apparatus Which cells have lots of Golgi? transport vesicles secretory vesicles Function finishes, sorts, tags & ships cell products like “UPS shipping department” ships products in vesicles membrane sacs “UPS trucks”
23
Golgi Apparatus
24
Vesicle transport vesicle budding from rough ER fusion of vesicle with Golgi apparatus migrating transport vesicle protein ribosome
25
DNA RNA ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum vesicle Golgi apparatus vesicle protein on its way! protein finished protein Making Proteins TO: nucleus
26
proteins transport vesicle Golgi apparatus vesicle smooth ER rough ER nuclear pore nucleus ribosome cell membrane protein secreted cytoplasm Making proteins Putting it together…
29
28 Vacuoles Storage of water or ions, pigments, hold food, pump out water. Are larger than vesicles formed from golgi/E.R. In plants is enclosed by Tonoplast (membrane) and provides cell with hydrostatic pressure
30
29 Peroxisomes Contain enzymes (catalase) that break down H 2 O 2 formed during metabolism of alcohols, F.A.’s. Specialized forms [glyoxysome] found in seeds and function during germination.
31
30 Cytoskeleton Protein fibers that support and give shape to a cell, involved in organelle movement throughout cell, chromosome movement during cell division and large cell movements (cell motility and cytokinesis) 3 Groups of Fibers classified according to size: Mircrotubules (thickest) Intermediated filaments (middle sized) Microfilaments (thinnest)
32
31 Components of the Cytoskeleton Microtubules hollow tube. Provide framework for cell, organized by centrosome from which they usually originate. “Rail” system for organelle transport. Component of Centriole. Replicated prior to mitosis. Form Cilia and Flagella. 9 + 2 arrangement (eukaryotic characteristic)
33
6/28/2016 32 Components of the Cytoskeleton Microfilaments (aka actin filaments) Solid “rope”of two actin proteins Thinner and more flexible than microtubules Principle component of muscle fibers. Provide mechanism to support cell shape. Found just inside the c. mem. Enable cell movement, phagocytosis and cytokinesis.
34
33 Cell-to Cell Junctions Plants Plasmodesmata Perforations in cell wall that allow passage for water/solutes to adjacent cells. Animals Tight Junctions. Prevent leakage between cells (ie. Stomach) Desmosomes. Mechanically attach cells to each other. Serve as anchoring sites for inter. filaments in cell. Gap Junctions. Analogous to plasmodesma. Fxn as comm. Pathway between cells. Cardiac muscle, nerves.
35
6/28/2016 34 Intracellular Junctions
36
35 Plant Cell Walls Protect plants, allow for shape and prevent excess H 2 O uptake. Composed of cellulose Plasmodesmata connect neighboring cells.
37
6/28/2016 36 Extracellular matrix (ECM) Intricate network of proteins and polysaccharides that are organized into a meshwork on the outside of cells. Large polysaccharides and proteoglygans form a “gel-like” material that resist compression. Proteins like collagen (most abundant protein in animals as part of bone and skin) and elastin (stretch and recoil) provide structure and strength. Adhesive-like proteins (fibronectins and laminin) help cells attach to the appropriate part of the ECM.
