Document Summary

Low-density lipoprotein and its properties: major steps of receptor-mediated endocytosis, transferrin cycle, delivery of membrane and cytosolic proteins for degradation in lysosomes. Recap: endocytosis: process of getting stuff from outside the cell to inside the cell. Invagination of the plasma membrane: vesicles pinch off, vesicles go through maturation steps to become early/late endosomes and lysosomes, or are recycled back to the plasma membrane. Ldl (low-density lipoprotein: transferrin, many more: hormones (e. g. insulin), certain glycoproteins, etc. Low-density lipoprotein (ldl: a way of transporting lipid and fat in the blood stream. Lipids are transported in large well-defined water-soluble complexes/particles called lipoproteins. Structure: outside: composed of a phospholipid monolayer, and the large protein apolipoprotein b, polar, hydrophilic. Inside: contains cholesterol apolar core, hydrophobic: has hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties - amphipathic. Ldl receptors on plasma membrane (localized in clathrin-coated pits: apolipoprotein b helps acts as a belt that contains the structure and helps guide the ldl to its receptors.

QUESTION 11

During skeletal muscle contraction, the roles of ATP include:

	1.	ATP is not required for forming the crossbridges between myosin and actin filaments.
	2.	ATP is utilized as a structural linker to mediate the interaction between myosin and actin filaments
	3.	Hydrolysis of ATP provides energy for myosin head to move along actin filaments and the binding of ATP to myosin head allows the detachment of myosin fromactin filaments.
	4.	ATP binds to actin filaments to drive the power stroke of myosin head.
