Questions in Lysosomes
Page 1 out of 4 Pages
- Is the mannose 6 phosphate receptor a protein?(37148 views)
- I had a quick question about the addition of the mannose 6 phosphate. In one of our lecture slides, I have written down that it is the one excpeption to the rule. I am not sure what rule I am referring to. Do you have any idea?(35839 views)
- Does acid hydrolase come from the golgi?(25167 views)
- Is the mannose 6 phosphate protein sitting in the trans side of the golgi apparatus actually the acid hydrolase that will be added to the late endosome?(18699 views)
- Where do phagosomes come from?(18232 views)
- Do you call the fusion of an autophagosome with a lysosome an autophagolysosome or is it still just a phagolysosome?(18576 views)
- Can you briefly explain lysosomal storage disorders?(19628 views)
- I was looking at the diagram that illustrates the movement of an acid hydrolaze from the Golgi Apparatus to the Late Endosome. This involves a Mannose-6-Phosphate receptor that carries an acid hydrolaze in a vesicle to the Late Endosome. I was wondering if it was possible for a similar mechanism to be used in moving a different proteins to different sites, or if this mechanism was Endosome-specific.(21299 views)
- It seems as if the 50 hydrolases are randomly sent to any late endosome to start degrading material. For example, if there is only nucleic acid inside of an endosome, how does the signaling work to get only nuclease to travel there? Is there ever a waste of the assorted hydrolases in lysosomes?(20860 views)
- I'm not understanding what you wrote in an earlier posting about the "combination of mannose-6-P and mannose-6-P receptors." What I understand from that is each endosome/lysosome has a specific signal for an acid hydrolase. But how does the endosome say "Hey, I've got nucleic acid in here" to the golgi apparatus? Does the vesicle containing certain hydrolases go looking for the endosome's signal, or does the endosome send a signal to the golgi?(20288 views)
