00:02 All right y'all, I'm gonna go and get started. Um So I'm

00:08 a meeting tonight at 7 30 because sucks. Why would I want a

00:13 at 7 30? But meeting with people. So hopefully right after the

00:18 , we'll be able to sign stuff . I'll send out an announcement whenever

00:20 happens. All right, everyone's on same page. No one's getting um

00:25 an advantage or anything like that. just be alert that it might be

00:30 . If not, it will be tomorrow morning. Ok. Um

00:35 I'm having fun with that. Uh , what we're gonna do is uh

00:40 going to talk about cell biology, we've kind of done the macro molecules

00:44 the biomolecules and now what we're gonna is we're gonna kind of look and

00:47 , all right, how is the organized? What are the structures of

00:52 cell? And we've, we've mentioned that, you know, in the

00:55 , there are hundreds and hundreds of types of cells, right? And

01:01 we're doing is that we're just look, it doesn't matter what type

01:04 cell there is or you're looking at more or less have these parts to

01:07 . All right. So that's kind what the big picture is. And

01:10 we're going to walk through the plasm , we'll walk, walk through the

01:13 of the side of plasm, we'll through the nucleus and not necessarily in

01:17 order. And then afterwards, we're to talk a little bit about transcription

01:20 translation. So much of this stuff be reviewed to you at some

01:25 right? So you, you should seen this at least one time in

01:28 life if you've taken a biology class a life sciences class, right?

01:32 One of the best ways to study stuff is to literally draw a picture

01:36 a cell. And when I say a picture cell, you make a

01:39 and then you put your little tiny in there and then you label them

01:41 say what they do. That's probably easiest way to learn this stuff.

01:45 right. But you figure out which way works the best for you.

01:49 right. So in looking at the , what we're gonna see is we're

01:53 focus on these three basic parts, membrane, plasm membrane that separates the

01:57 from the inside. All right, what creates a unique compartment inside the

02:03 so that the unique um activity of cell can take place excluding the environment

02:08 around it. The cytoplasm is where the organelles are now the organelles are

02:16 , compartments inside the larger compartments where chemical reactions are taking place. So

02:21 are areas set aside for those unique uh uh reactions, those unique things

02:28 it does. So just like in home, we talked about yesterday,

02:31 being like a kitchen and a bathroom a bedroom and yada, yada

02:35 those are places where certain things take . That's kind of what the organelles

02:39 . They're like unique environments so that can do their job, right?

02:45 then we have the nucleus and the really is an organelle. But we

02:49 it aside because we like things that of set out a special. And

02:53 like we look at the brain and oh look, the brain is so

02:56 . It's a unique organ, it's organ just like everything else. It

03:00 the thinking. And so the nucleus like a brain of a cell.

03:05 the control center, right? It's all the the genetic material is

03:10 And it does all these unique things make it sound like it's unique or

03:16 than the other structures. It's it's just another organelle, but we

03:21 it aside for this reason. All . So we're gonna kind of walk

03:25 these, I want to just first about the cytoplasm. We're gonna get

03:28 the plasma membrane later. And I the, the next thing after the

03:31 , we talk about the nucleus to off with all the different types of

03:36 . All right. So with regard the cytoplasm, this is basically the

03:43 found within the plasma membrane. So everything within it is considered to be

03:50 . The cytoplasm itself actually has different to it. We've already kind of

03:54 the organelles. Those are the structures you can see that are embedded within

04:00 material of the cytoplasm. And the environment of the cytoplasm is what is

04:05 to as the cytozole. The way can think about the cytosol is that

04:08 water plus stuff. All right. we're not going to define what the

04:12 stuff is. It's just, there's , there's uh sugars, there's

04:18 there's salts, there's all sorts of things floating around in that. And

04:22 if you'd like to poke a hole a cell, it would kind of

04:25 out, it wouldn't like squirt out water because there's more stuff in

04:29 right? So it's just water plus suspended in it. And then

04:34 we have things that we don't know to do with them where they're not

04:38 as, you know, the, stuff that's suspended in the side as

04:40 they're not organelles, what we call are inclusions. And so these are

04:44 and far between not all cell have inclusion. Some are specifically designed to

04:49 inclusion and what an inclusion is, simply a chemical substance that, that

04:54 be defined by those two things. cells that have glycogen will have glycogen

05:00 . There's crystals that will kind of fat cells will have lipid droplets,

05:04 example, right? That would be inclusion um not us for, for

05:10 most part but like flowers and they'll have like pigments in their

05:14 right? So the cells that make the petals have pigment inclusions and these

05:18 larger structures that are not quite And then some cells will even have

05:22 in them, you know, and , the crystal lattice work. So

05:26 kind of what an inclusion is. we'll look at something where it's

05:28 oh that looks like an inclusion and kind of like, yeah, kind

05:31 sort of, right. So that's of the cytoplasm. Now the organelles

05:39 , there's basically two different groups of , what we call membrane bound

05:43 And so what they have is they uh a unique environment inside them and

05:48 have the same membrane that makes up plasma membrane, right? So when

05:52 looking at a acha the vale the , the endoplasm reticulum, these structures

05:59 membranes that are are are organelles that on its surface, the same sort

06:04 material, the phospho lipid bilayer that up this plasma membrane. All

06:10 And so what we've done is like said is we've created this unique compartment

06:14 that something unique can happen within And that's when we'll go through the

06:17 . All right. And so here's of a list of those structures that

06:21 uh just mentioned. The other some, some books, mis mischaracterize

06:27 mis call them non membrane bound So if you ever see that

06:32 just go out there, know what talking about and then you can kind

06:35 move on, right. But what referred to are bio molecular complexes.

06:40 right. So what you're seeing here you see that word, that non

06:44 bound organelle, it's just someone well, I don't know what to

06:46 them and they're too lazy to go it up. Right. And here

06:50 are large groups of macro molecules. you can think about lots of proteins

06:54 together and kind of creating this mass they work or function as a

07:01 Now, some that are really easy understand and we're going to look at

07:06 are going to be the cytoskeleton. right. So these are gonna be

07:09 proteins that create these long strands that create structure. You've heard of

07:15 ribosomes is another one that is not bound, but it's an organelle.

07:19 has a function. We'll look at and then the centris again, these

07:23 going to give rise to cytoskeleton but they're not a membrane bound

07:28 So those would be examples of bio complexes. All right, this is

07:35 the ugliest picture I could find on internet looks like the I F

07:40 And what we've done and we're, we're doing is we're moving into the

07:44 organelles. So this is kind of the big checklist time, right?

07:48 so the first thing we're looking at the nucleus. So we've cleared everything

07:52 of the cell. And what you're at is solely the nucleus itself.

07:56 is not the nucleus, this whole is the nucleus, right? And

08:01 this is what we consider to be control center of the cell. It's

08:05 the brain of the cell. It's the largest, largest structure inside a

08:09 . So when you look into a and under the microscope, it stands

08:12 as this big circular structure that sits the cell itself. All right,

08:19 is where most of the DNA is to be found inside the cell.

08:22 the exception to this rule that you up here in the parentheses that mitochondria

08:27 its own DNA. So you can't that all the DNA is inside the

08:31 because mitochondria has its own. All , this is where DNA replication takes

08:36 . This is what we say is for the genetic control of the

08:41 So everything that that cell does is to be a function of that

08:46 the activity that's taking place inside the . Now, there are three structures

08:51 interest here, the nuclear envelope, nucleolus, which is this little circle

08:57 and then you can, if you carefully, you can see kind of

08:59 darker stuff and the lighter stuff that's to be the chromatin. All

09:04 Now, again, that picture is the worst one I could find on

09:06 internet. So just bear with So if we kind of focus in

09:12 , really closely and look here, can see here's the nucleus all right

09:18 there, what you see moving on there is that's the endoplasm cretic.

09:22 what we can see here is this and you can see that it's a

09:26 membrane, right, you see membrane the inside and it folds on itself

09:30 then it starts moving on, it endoplasm cretic. So this is the

09:35 envelope, this is what makes up outer wall of the nucleus. And

09:40 you can see it's continuous with another , it has associated with it,

09:45 structures called nuclear pores. This is allows material to go in and what

09:50 out. You can presume or think this structure as serving kind of as

09:54 bouncer to a club. If something to go into the nucleus, it

09:59 to have the right tag associated with . All right, it has basically

10:05 that, that poor can read. if that doesn't have the right information

10:09 it, it's not allowed to go . So these are very, very

10:13 to, to allowing what goes in what goes out. But one of

10:17 thing that leaves is gonna be R A R N A is leaving,

10:20 so that it can be transcribed and deal with it or translated and we'll

10:23 with that in a little bit. right. So, structurally, it's

10:27 of this unique thing you can see here that we have this uh

10:32 you see this kind of this network this artist has drawn on here,

10:36 stuff over here that's the DNA and DNA is being laid on and uh

10:42 through this network of proteins. And it's the way that the cell organizes

10:49 the DNA is and where the DNA . So if you think about um

10:54 about how, how much DNA you , we have 2020 oh gosh,

11:00 blanking now. 24 chromosomes, I'm just, it's an early

11:04 right? We have 24 chromosomes uh terms of number of bases, we're

11:09 in the mega bases millions upon millions millions of, of nucleotides. And

11:17 have something like 33,000 genes is, the estimate that we have right

11:22 And so one of the questions, know, when I was sitting in

11:24 seat and what you probably should be yourself every now and then is

11:27 how does my cell cell know which to turn on and when and where

11:31 are? Well, it's because it's organized, we don't know how it's

11:38 . We haven't figured that out but it's, it's organized on there

11:40 it knows what it's turning on and it's turning off and it's because of

11:44 structure on the inside of the All right. Um So this would

11:51 like an electron micrograph you can see here is nucleus, see the dark

11:55 that's chromatin. The light stuff is chromatin, but it's a different type

11:59 chromatin. We'll get to that in a moment. But you can see

12:02 the center the thing that looks like eyeball, that's a nucleolus, it's

12:07 actual structure inside the nucleus. So kind of like the nucleus of the

12:12 . All right. Now, the of this is multifold and we're still

12:16 of learning what it does. But of the major things that it's responsible

12:20 is making up the ribosome R N of ribosomes. So we're gonna learn

12:25 ribosomes in just a minute. This where they come from. All

12:29 Uh The other thing that uh they're is so we thought that this was

12:33 it does, but we're finding out it actually has other processes in terms

12:38 regulations and other things. And I think it's important enough for us to

12:42 but that, but that we pointed that something exists inside a cell,

12:46 not there just because it, all things do have functions. And so

12:53 you know, like when I sat your seat there's stuff up here that

12:56 exist and now it's like, you, you know, let me

12:59 it to you by the time you're age, which is like, like

13:02 years from now. Um That was . I'm old, right. Um

13:09 gonna find out that there's a lot things um that we have learned.

13:13 , we're barely, we're like kindergartners it comes to biological knowledge,

13:19 So nucleus has its own little tiny . Primary is ribosome uh structure.

13:27 here's our nucleus and you can see it's surrounded by this structure that looks

13:34 a bunch of tubes or a bunch what we call them are tubules in

13:39 Cni just think of a cistern, old bowls. OK. And so

13:44 structure that surrounds it kind of expands where it's continuous with the nucleus.

13:48 saw the nuclear envelope and it formed became endoplasm reticulum. And so you'll

13:54 usually in a plastic curriculum, Er All right. There's two basic

13:59 . There's the rough endoplasm curriculum. smooth endoplasm curriculum. What's the difference

14:03 rough and smooth ribosomes? I was you'd say if one's rough and one's

14:10 , one's bumpy, one isn't. right. And again, this is

14:14 of those things where someone looked in microscope and said, why this,

14:17 looks weird? It's bumpy looking. one isn't, but they look kind

14:21 the same. All right. ultimately, what we determined was

14:25 that buiness is a series of ribosomes are attached to the surface of the

14:30 Curti. So rough er, has , smooth, er does not.

14:36 whenever there's differences, that means they're something differently, the rough aplasia

14:41 its primary role is the production of that are going to be secreted

14:46 or put into the plasma membrane and way that it does. So,

14:51 this is a process we're gonna look a little bit later, but just

14:54 that you can see it's like, , here are the ribosomes making

14:58 What they do is they associate with uh pores on the endoplasm reticulum.

15:03 so they insert that protein that's growing then if it's gonna be secreted,

15:07 goes completely into the endoplasm curriculum. it's not, it stays um associated

15:12 the surface. All right. So is kind of what it's gonna look

15:17 . And so that's what those bumps . The ribosome is doing that the

15:22 endoplasm curriculum. On the other is a little bit different. It's

15:25 tubular in nature rather than these large giant cisterns. You can see

15:30 they're trying to looks like a whole of pipes and depending on which cell

15:35 looking at, it has a different . And so you can't just look

15:38 a smooth end applies in particular and , oh, this is what it

15:41 does, it's like, OK, doing something unique here. Now,

15:45 it can do is very often it modify proteins. So the idea

15:50 is molecules that the cell is taking are sent to the smooth end applies

15:54 reticulum. And it has these enzymes are responsible for these modifications. We

16:01 glycogen in some of our cells. talked about that already. Right?

16:06 have glycogen, liver cells have And what do I do? Glycogen

16:10 long chains of glucose? I want release that glucose. What do I

16:14 is I've got to chop it So this is a place where that's

16:17 happen. This is a place where can make your steroids. This is

16:21 place where lipids are being created so some of those lipids that we looked

16:25 and it had all those little arrows at things that we said, we

16:28 have to worry about those processes taking in a compartment set aside specifically for

16:34 to happen. Smooth applies curriculum. thing we're gonna talk about a lot

16:40 is gonna be the muscles and how contraction works. Muscle contractions are dependent

16:45 calcium. Calcium is stored up or in smooth into plasma reticulum. So

16:52 , it's a place where you put this stuff and when it's time for

16:54 muscle contraction, you release all the and the calcium comes flowing out and

16:58 you pump it back in. So just an environment where you store up

17:03 . So you can see smooth curriculum can have lots of different types

17:06 roles depending upon what type of cell looking at. So right now in

17:11 brain, you should be saying, , smooth end into curriculum does different

17:15 . And then when you learn new , then you just kind of

17:17 oh, does this get tossed into smooth and apla category? All

17:24 So, er, pretty simple. then we move on to the next

17:29 along the line, which is called Golgi, the Golgi apparatus. All

17:33 . Now, when I think of gold apparatus, what I usually think

17:36 is like if this is like the office of the cell. So if

17:41 making proteins in my rough endoplasm, , those proteins are gonna be found

17:47 the endoplasm reticulum and you're gonna butt portions of the endoplasm reticulum in little

17:52 vesicles and those vesicles are gonna be off to this structure. So these

17:58 vess these little balls that you see been moved from the endoplasm curriculum and

18:03 they're gonna do is they're gonna merge the Golgi and the go looks like

18:06 series of pancakes stacked on each right? But they're big giant

18:11 you can see the same sort of . Now, when we look at

18:14 , you're like, ok, how does anything ever get done inside

18:17 ? But again, part of this , it's so small that we don't

18:22 all the reactions and all the But we do understand what it's trying

18:25 accomplish and what it's doing is it's at those proteins and their organization,

18:32 they're built and they're sorting them and where they need to go based upon

18:37 that are part of the actual protein . So we receive on the side

18:44 go with, into the cisterns, get tagged, modified sorted, moved

18:49 and then depending upon what you, been sorted to do, you're actually

18:54 to your destination. So some things going to stay inside vesicles and be

18:59 . Some things are going to be into what are called lysosomes. And

19:04 so those are going to stay inside cell and they're going to do their

19:06 and we'll answer what lysosomes do in minute. If you're a, a

19:09 that needs to be secreted, you're in a vesicle. And if you

19:12 secreted immediately, you'll move up to plasma membrane and then you'll be released

19:16 into the side or into the interstitial . If you're meant to be put

19:20 the plasma membrane, you're sorted in different way and you're sent up as

19:24 vesicle and you're moved to the plasma and you merge the plasma membrane.

19:29 in essence, everything that you're doing is deciding the direction to which you

19:35 supposed to go and it's not random proteins that are supposed to go in

19:39 membrane, always go into the membrane that are supposed to be secreted are

19:42 secreted, et cetera, et et cetera. The process is not

19:46 understood yet, but it's what it . It's kind of like how does

19:50 post office know how to send my ? Well, they have a scanning

19:53 and things just happen. It's you know, now the opposite

19:59 So if this is the side, the trans side, so the sending

20:02 is the trans side. All So I mentioned the lysosome, that's

20:08 of the destinations. One of the that a um um proteins can be

20:13 to and this is a vesicle that formed from the goal. All

20:18 So in this picture, this is the Liz, this is supposed to

20:22 a cell, it's supposed to be , um, uh brain turned

20:29 Hold on. Um, a That's what I'm looking for.

20:35 All right. And its job is hunt around and look for things that

20:39 supposed to be in your body like bacterium and it kind of goes around

20:43 just sits there and goes, is supposed to be here? Is this

20:45 to be here? And if I something that's not supposed to be

20:47 what it does, it goes out out surrounds it and encases that foreign

20:54 inside a vesicle? All right. , what we gotta do is we

20:58 to destroy that and then it's made of all the little tiny things that

21:01 body can use. So it's gonna down the materials. Well, how

21:05 the cell break that down? that's the purpose of the lysosome.

21:10 lysosome is an organelle that contains the enzymes to help break down materials and

21:17 creates an environment that's incredibly acidic. so when you merge aly a zone

21:23 the faga zone, which is basically a structure that you engulfed,

21:28 So it's a vesicle that I've engulfed something in it. What's going to

21:31 is I merge those two things The low P H creates the environment

21:35 allow the enzymes to work. It up the thing that you've consumed and

21:40 end up with all the little tiny and then you can do things with

21:43 little tiny bits like recycle it. if it's amino acids or nucleic acids

21:47 whatever, you can recycle them from cell because it doesn't matter where those

21:51 come from, they're reusable, Think about the food you eat food

21:56 eat are, are, is the thing that your body is made up

22:00 lipids, fats, sugars. All . Now, what's interesting is the

22:06 like the hydro laces. What can is you can then recycle them,

22:10 can keep moving them and, and this process ongoing. Now you guys

22:18 of an ulcer. What's an ulcer your body? Basically, the digestive

22:25 of your stomach have worked their way the protective barriers of the stomach and

22:28 now basically chewing through your stomach Right. It's not something that's really

22:33 . It doesn't feel good. Not you want. All right.

22:39 with a lysosome, if those enzymes not contained within that vesicle, they're

22:46 gonna chew up what's ever inside the , right? Enzymes don't know how

22:51 distinguish between self and nonself, They just know how to break down

22:56 they're supposed to break down or to to, they're there to catalyze a

23:01 , right? So if you in other words, if you break

23:06 lyo zone, then those um those are just gonna start chewing up the

23:13 that's inside the cell. This is , you're gonna, you have to

23:17 with me autolysis. It's not it's autolysis. OK? Got

23:24 Sounds fancy. Just get your cup tea, put your thumb out or

23:27 pinky. I go it's autolysis. . Auto is a hot, hot

23:35 to study right now. All So auto sounds a lot like

23:40 Auto means self means to eat. this is self eating right? And

23:45 sounds like, well, I'm self because it's, this is bad because

23:49 something that went horribly wrong. Auto a cell's mechanism of trying to control

23:56 process of destroying things that need to destroyed in the cell. So,

24:01 of the ways that your body fights is through, ahoy. And when

24:06 auto fails, the cell keeps going and on. Right. That would

24:10 an example. So here in auto like, oh, I've got something

24:14 broken inside the cell. I need get rid of it because it's gonna

24:18 problems. So the lysosome goes to broken organelle merges with it and tries

24:24 break it down in an organized All right, we're trying to understand

24:28 process because it's like, oh, another way to cure cancer and we'll

24:31 not. I'm just saying. All . So, so far we started

24:38 nucleus, nucleus to the endoplasm, endoplasm curriculum to the Golgi. We

24:43 at one thing breaking off the, is called the LYO. Now we're

24:49 at something that doesn't break off the , we're going all the way back

24:52 the ends curriculum and we're looking at pera. All right. And

24:56 a peri is a vesicle, It has within it, a bunch

25:01 enzymes. All right. Those enzymes both oxidase and catalas. So you

25:07 that A E at the end? what an oxidase does is, it

25:11 for things that are called free It's an antioxidant. That's what oxidation

25:16 . Do they, they play the of antioxidants? All right.

25:20 you probably don't know what a free is. Have you ever heard of

25:22 free radical. Yes. 11 23, maybe, right. Free

25:27 are basically molecular time bombs. what you've done is you've taken where

25:32 had two oxygens attached to one another they broke apart and they kept their

25:37 electron and that one electron is now of balance and it wants desperately to

25:42 another electron. So it's willing to bonds and create molecular chaos to

25:48 So it's a bad thing, And so what we have is we

25:52 a series of, of enzymes that responsible for reducing the dangers of the

25:57 radicals. All right, one of things that we, the reason we

26:01 vitamin C, it's an antioxidant. helps us to fight the free radicals

26:05 our bodies. It helps reduce the of bad things happening. So what

26:10 oxidase does is says, well, can't completely get rid of a free

26:14 , but I can make it into less dangerous free radical. And so

26:17 they do is that they convert these radicals into a molecule called you guys

26:23 what that molecule is. What is peroxide? So you know that's the

26:29 that you use to dye your you know, to put on a

26:32 and make it bubble, right? hydrogen peroxide. And that's the least

26:38 of the free radicals. And then we do is we have a catalyst

26:41 says, all right, I'm gonna the least dangerous of the free

26:43 I'm going to convert it into a free radical. What's that molecule?

26:50 ? So that's the job of the or the excuse me, the

26:54 I'm going to soak up and find dangerous molecules. I'm going to convert

27:01 , detoxify the environment, make it and less dangerous. And finally,

27:06 get to the point where I can make water. So you'll find these

27:10 a whole bunch of different places. the process of of breaking down fatty

27:14 is called be oxidation. That's where see uh proxim and cells that play

27:17 role in that, you'll see it in hepatocytes. Hepatocytes are liver

27:23 You guys have learned that your liver for dealing with toxic things,

27:27 At some point. Yeah. So it. And then we've already mentioned

27:30 . All right. Now, the thing is that they don't arise from

27:34 , like I said, they arise the endoplasm curriculum and what they'll also

27:38 is you'll take two small xom, come together and form a larger

27:42 So that's this process of fission that gonna be doing. They self arise

27:46 kind of create themselves. All So this is kind of the weird

27:51 , it sets out which we had mention it because it's still in a

27:54 , kind of like a lysosome is shifting away from kind of this pathway

28:00 the Golgi and we're dealing with the structure in the human cell, which

28:06 the mitochondria. Now, in very terms, mitochondria is responsible for making

28:10 . All right, it is the that makes a T P or not

28:14 cell, it is a structure in A T P is primarily made.

28:18 whenever you're dealing with uh any sort aerobic cellular activity, so anything that

28:24 oxygen, so your cells make more T P with oxygen, they make

28:28 A T P without oxygen. This the uh the structure that's playing the

28:33 . Now, what's interesting about this that the mitochondria has its own DNA

28:39 its own R N A can replicate . So if the cell needs more

28:43 , it will actually the mitochondria themselves actually replicate and make more of

28:49 The mitochondria was a cell swallowed by cell. That's why it has its

28:55 DNA. It stuck around for some , the cell didn't destroy it but

29:01 this structure inside a vesicle and it existed with all eukaryotic cells for as

29:09 as we can remember. All So it's one of these weird things

29:14 it's not part of the actual cell . It was something that's been passed

29:20 during this process of cell division over over again. So think of it

29:25 of like a parasite that stuck around SIM. It would be a better

29:29 . Um So if you look in that require lots of energy like muscle

29:35 , you're gonna see lots of Oh And by the way, uh

29:38 mitochondria primarily and I'm saying primarily we say it does come from, but

29:42 some evidence that all come from your . All right. So everyone has

29:49 mitochondria that your mother gave you. that's one of the ways we can

29:53 lineage is through maternal mitochondrial DNA. mitochondria energy producers. Alright. Is

30:05 ribosome a membrane bound or, or molecular complex? What do we

30:12 Biomolecular? All right. So this a an organelle but it's not membrane

30:18 . Everything else that we looked at this backwards has so far been a

30:24 brown organelle. Here we have this molecular complex. It's basically a bunch

30:29 proteins and some R N A. right. And it creates these two

30:35 . We have what is called the subunit and the large subunit. And

30:40 these two things come together and allow to read a strand of messenger R

30:46 A so that you can make So you can see here's the growing

30:50 . All right. So, ribosomes ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

30:58 right. That's, that's the key to take away from this.

31:04 you can find ribosomes in a bunch different areas. We've already looked at

31:07 endoplasm curriculum and we said, when I look in the microscope,

31:10 looks all bumpy, right. This an electron micrograph. You can see

31:13 the little dots, the little dots the ribosomes and that's on the surface

31:18 the endoplasm Curti. So this would what we refer to as a bound

31:25 . All right, its job is make proteins to help synthesize proteins that

31:30 be secreted or uh or uh put a vesicle or store or you

31:35 found in the surface of the cell the plat of a membrane. The

31:39 type of ribosome is what is called free ribosome. These are floating around

31:44 the cytozole. They might actually be in the mitochondria because the mitochondria can

31:49 um make its own proteins as well remember it has its own DNA and

31:52 own R N A. You can between these two points. You can

31:57 a free ribosome floating around the side all do your business there. And

32:01 after you've done your business, you go and pick up something and be

32:04 of a bound ribosome, ribosomes are confined to one area or the

32:08 They have free roam to where they're . All right. Now, what

32:13 looking at in this picture up all the big dots. Those are

32:16 ribosomes, those things that are going the, the ends, that's the

32:20 peptide and this chain that sits in middle, that's the M R N

32:26 that it's reading. OK. So protein synthesis does this feel like we're

32:37 faster, all this stuff or is like, OK, this is good

32:39 pace? Oh OK. People on back. OK. I'll, I'll

32:46 the one thumb up that, you , you're now representing the,

32:50 the back of the room. All right. So with those in

32:55 , what I wanna do is I keep in these uh these uh molecular

33:00 , bio molecular complexes. I wanna at the cytoskeleton, cytoskeleton literally means

33:05 skeleton. All right. But that's their only role they can serve kind

33:09 as the musculature of the cell as . So if you're trying to make

33:14 you know, you know, like or you know, whatever it's like

33:20 lysosome, it is kind of like stomach of the cell. The nucleus

33:23 kind of like the brain of the . The cytoskeleton needs the musculoskeletal system

33:28 the cell. All right. That's of how you can think about

33:34 And what we have is we have series of fibers that are going to

33:38 throughout the cytoplasm. So here you see what we've done. We've taken

33:42 cell, like here's a membrane, a membrane you can see here's the

33:46 , you can see in there. would that one be with the little

33:50 rough? Er, but you can here, I've got fibers and I

33:55 tubes and I got tubes and there's tube. Those would be examples.

33:59 And I, I guess the other stuff right there, those would be

34:01 filaments. We have these, these of tubes and, and filaments and

34:08 that are gonna penetrate throughout the cell create this network on which all these

34:15 , all these organelles are gonna be . In other words, when you

34:20 about the cell, it's not just bag of fluid with things floating in

34:24 . All these uh these cells have them, this massive network of these

34:31 and fibers and tubules that help to the cell arranged in the way that

34:38 needs to be arranged. Remember what said about epithelium, one of its

34:42 , what it, what was one the characteristics of epithelium? It had

34:45 word and start with A P and it with A Y it polarity.

34:54 right. And polarity means that you the two sides are different from each

34:58 . Right? Part of the reason you have polarity in the epithelial cell

35:02 because of this network. So it that on one side of the

35:07 it needs to have things to sin to receive and on the other

35:10 it has other structures and it's, it's defined because the presence of this

35:16 of skeleton, all right. So have this network of fibers. They

35:22 to maintain the shape of the cell to help to create the structures where

35:28 belong, helps to position, the , some cells are going to play

35:31 role in movement. I'm not sure ones allow me to move, which

35:41 . Thank you. I mean, know it took a while to think

35:44 that thing. I have them All right, they're gonna service kind

35:52 like highways in some cases and we're see these things called motor proteins.

35:57 fact, um, on canvas this , I posted a video that's,

36:01 like three minutes. It's, it's youtube video. There's actually, it's

36:04 shorter version of a longer one that is an imagination of what the inside

36:09 the cell looks like. Um uh these structures that we're talking about.

36:14 if you want to kind of see of a visual representation of a cell

36:17 action, you can kind of watch and see if you can identify the

36:21 structures in there. You know, , three minutes of your life,

36:24 not going to be on the but it kind of helps you visualize

36:27 much of the stuff that we're looking here is s itsy bitsy, teeny

36:30 , we usually see it like a and it's static, so we don't

36:33 it in action. All right. the three types of fibers we're gonna

36:37 looking at, they're right here at intermediate filament, the microtubule and the

36:41 and we're just gonna go through them one by one. And so what's

36:45 good about these pictures here is they're immunofluorescence so that we can look inside

36:51 cell. All right. Now, is a technique of using antibodies tagged

36:57 a fluorescent dye. And then what do is it tags, whatever it

37:00 that you can, you know that recognizes and then you hit it with

37:03 light at a, at a specific and it allows you to see what

37:07 tagged. And then what you can is you can assign a color to

37:12 tag. It's not really this They just basically allows you, you

37:16 digitize it. And then what you do is you can kind of see

37:19 these different things overlay on each So like the blue here is something

37:23 tags uh DNA. And so you where the nucleus of the individual cells

37:28 , right? And then you can the green is tagging something and you

37:31 the red is tagging something and the here is actually tagging micro filaments.

37:37 just to help you know, that what we're talking about. The microfilament

37:41 down here in red so that you see that's what we're looking at.

37:44 in looking at this picture here, can see there's a lot of microfilament

37:48 this cell and you can see where boundary of the cell is. It

37:52 of sits like that, right? not 100% accurate, but you can

37:55 of get a sense. So, do you see these micro filaments primarily

37:59 the edges of the cell? what do microfilament primarily do?

38:04 they play an important role in bearing . All right, I'm gonna use

38:11 for a second. Give me your , pull against me, pull against

38:17 . That's what cells are doing all time. They're fighting each other.

38:21 not really fighting each other, but basically bearing each other's tension.

38:24 again, if we're doing this and pulls on me, he has something

38:29 pull against. Right. It's oh, I'm resisting the pull this

38:33 and there's something behind you and they're tension. How many of you guys

38:38 an older sibling? How many of guys got an Indian burn from your

38:42 , older sibling? You know what Indian burn is? Some people are

38:45 at me like, I don't it's when they go up to you

38:47 like, you know, grab your or you have your arm.

38:49 I wouldn't do this. You go this and you're like, ah,

38:54 you're like, ah, and why the skin doesn't come falling off?

38:58 . Because if I twist the why does it come rolling off?

39:01 reason is because of these micro filaments tension to prevent the cells when you

39:08 on one, you're pulling on all cells and vice versa. So it

39:13 this tension against each other. what is a microfilament, microfilament is

39:19 a series of these little tiny Each of these little balls is an

39:23 molecule of acting. And what they is this, this act in pairs

39:28 with other acting and you create these chains and the long chains by themselves

39:33 like hanging out by themselves. And what they do is they find another

39:36 chain and you create this massive And so now what you have is

39:41 have a rope of or a filament acting molecules. That's a microfilament.

39:47 right. Now, this helps to the shape of a cell. So

39:54 gonna see cells. Each cell has own unique shape and its own behavior

39:58 a function of these micro ments, play a major role in movement.

40:03 gonna talk about muscles. You've if you've again taking any sort of

40:07 science class, they probably talked about and muscles have two fibers. They

40:11 uh thick filaments and thin filaments. thin filaments are acting molecules plus some

40:17 stuff. The thick filaments are my my act and work with each other

40:23 they are what creates the contraction in muscle. Um Let's see what else

40:31 have here. Oh Yeah. So can have cell contraction, you can

40:35 localized contraction. So you basically can kind of some unique stuff. The

40:39 thing is cytokinesis. If you had guess what that word means, what

40:43 it mean, cytokinesis trying to make brains think about. By the

40:48 you're learning a new language. I'm letting you know biology, just like

40:53 is a new language. It's just language is a little bit easier because

40:56 have like I said, slashes and and horrible things. What is

41:02 Cyto is so kinesis movement, cell , right? Do you know your

41:10 ? There are some cells in your that move around, right? That

41:14 around that literally travel between the other , right? Your immune cells do

41:21 , right? They're on patrol looking things that are trying desperately to kill

41:26 . Actually, they're not trying to you, they just happen to kill

41:29 . You know, so you have blood cells that are circulating in,

41:33 will move and weave their way around we talked about those faga sites,

41:38 ? What are they doing? They're around looking for things to destroy and

41:42 need to move and the way they is with acting filaments changing the shape

41:50 the cell so that they can roll obviously a different picture than the one

41:58 here, we have the intermediate filaments . What do you suppose in that

42:01 old black circle in the middle? do you suppose is sitting in there

42:07 ? Right? And so you can is this a network, does this

42:11 like there is structure to this cell being arranged through these intermediate filaments.

42:16 of, sort of, yeah. right. Now, there are lots

42:19 different types of intermediate filaments. The that we uh spend a lot of

42:23 talking about are those that are members the carrot family. Carrot is what

42:28 up your nails and your hair and found in your skin. So this

42:32 why we spend a lot of time about it because it's something that's a

42:35 bit more familiar to us. if you hit your fingernail, it's

42:38 of kind of hard, isn't So Carotin is kind of a resistant

42:44 , right? There's not a lot give to it. Its job again

42:47 to resist uh tension. Um Unlike , you know, our micro

42:54 intermediate filaments are more permanent. What see with these is that you'll build

42:59 and break them down with some degree frequency here. What they do is

43:02 kind of more or less stick So once you build it, it's

43:05 permanently for the most part. All , their job again is to stabilize

43:11 cell to create a strength to the . And then we're back to our

43:17 picture again. So again, you see the red, that was our

43:20 and the blue, there's a the green is the microtubule. Now

43:25 here it has a micro, small tells you that it has a tubular

43:30 or tubular structure. And what you're is you have this protein called tubulin

43:34 that clever. That's how, that's biologists name the stuff it's like,

43:38 , well, it forms a So let's just call it the tube

43:42 . So, tubulin, all And so what you have here is

43:45 got these tubulin molecules, they form dim and then what they do is

43:49 arrange themselves and they just kind of this helix that ultimately forms a

43:53 And so if you look, you kind of see there's the tube that

43:55 through there. Right now, these are formed from a, from a

44:02 a bio molecular complex called the And in the centro zone, we're

44:07 see centris from which they're derived and the things that create resistance in the

44:13 so that you can't squish it. right. So whereas acting prevents you

44:17 pulling the cell apart. Tubulin. these uh microtubules serve kind of as

44:23 for compression. All right, they serve on track as tracks through which

44:28 proteins can move, which we'll see a second. Um We're gonna talk

44:32 tomorrow about pilum flagella, they make the inner workings of cilium flagella.

44:38 And so allow for movement in that . Um They play an important role

44:43 cell division in terms of breaking apart the the uh paired chromosomes so into

44:50 daughter cells, right? So they multiple functions. All right.

44:56 again, these are not permanent They build them as you need them

45:00 you break them down as quickly as as you don't need them. So

45:03 , they're, they're pretty dynamic in of their presence. That's what all

45:08 green stuff is, is trying to you um where microtubules would be in

45:13 particular cell. So this is a zone and I should pause here.

45:20 mean, we've just introduced three different . So do you kind of see

45:24 differences between the three different types of skeletal elements? The the larger

45:29 these are families. So there are more structures and more structures underneath

45:34 But microfilament pretty straightforward, intermediate, kind of straightforward microbial, straightforward.

45:39 . So we introduced the centrosome here it kind of extends off the idea

45:44 the microtubule. All right. So centrosome is an area or a site

45:50 which microtubules actually are formed and it like this. There are actually two

45:56 in there called centris. And that's those two things are actually one's called

46:00 mother, one's called the daughter and actually connected to each other. You

46:06 see here the little white, little that the artist put in there and

46:11 them is kind of this cloud of , all right. So this is

46:16 which all microtubules originate. And so can see the tubes at the end

46:21 is where the microtubules come from. have their very specific structure to

46:26 This nine plus two structure, which , if you count these up,

46:32 are triplets right now. So, . So that's what a cental

46:40 But the microtubules will extend and then end up like going into the,

46:45 , or the, and they'll have nine and then they'll have two on

46:49 inside. And so it's, it's way of organization. All right.

46:54 , when I was in school, called uh these structures, these

47:00 they called them basal bodies. They're same thing. All right. And

47:04 you might see, um, those kind of flipped if you have an

47:09 professor, you know, or something those lines, right? But

47:14 this is where all that energy goes . So remember if we're compressing that

47:20 , you know, so I'm gonna him again. Let's push against each

47:24 . So push, right. Where that force go? I mean,

47:27 on a wheel. So it's, does that force go? It goes

47:30 his center core. Right. that's where that, that force

47:35 Well, the force and compression would here and then it's distributed back out

47:41 , along those lines again to where it's being distributed to the next cell

47:46 the next cell and the next All right. So this is how

47:50 resists the compression so far. So . All right. What are little

48:06 made of? There you go and nice what we're looking at and the

48:17 I bring that up because we we're moving out of the cell for

48:21 moment. All right, we focused the nucleus. Made it pretty

48:25 Keeping it simple. Um, who a biology major? Just all

48:30 So you guys get to take cell . That's the required class. You'll

48:34 it in your, in your, your senior year, if not your

48:36 year and you go deep dive into structures, right? So you'll go

48:42 a lot greater detail than what we're . All right, we did the

48:49 , we've gone through the organelles and we're coming out to the plasma

48:54 The plasma membrane remember is a phospho bilayer, right? Remember what we

48:59 about phospho lipids. They have a head, they have a nonpolar

49:04 the nonpolar tail is excluded by the . So it faces away from

49:08 And so what we're doing is we're a protective environment for those non polar

49:13 . And so we have a portion faces water, this direction, portion

49:17 faces water, that direction. And we do is we create a

49:21 All right, that's the purpose of plasma membrane. Now, there are

49:25 than just fossil lipids inside the plasma . There's a bunch of different

49:31 So we're gonna see a couple of different lipids, right? We'll see

49:36 like um cholesterol, right? That's the artist is trying to show here

49:41 cholesterol, right? We'll see free acids because free fatty acids are gonna

49:46 just as excluded. So, a acid would be just like this tail

49:51 here. It just doesn't have the portion, doesn't have the glycerol.

49:54 so it's sitting around going water, me. So, where can I

49:57 ? Well, this is a good for it to go. It can

50:00 of work its way into there. then the other thing that we're gonna

50:03 , we're gonna see the glyco we mentioned them, right? We

50:06 these are sugars onto which have they've been attached to fats,

50:13 So um this green thing right they're trying to demonstrate this as a

50:18 lipids. So you can see the acid tail and you can see that's

50:22 sugar extending off to the edge. right. So there are different types

50:28 lipids that can be found here. the primary lipid that you can see

50:31 the pilot membrane is gonna be the lipid. And notice here that when

50:36 talking about the glycolipid, which direction it facing? It's always facing

50:42 right? It never faces inward. sugars are always pointing outward,

50:48 Because candy tastes better. When the is pointing outward, there are different

50:54 of proteins and these are not specific terms of functionality but how they're associated

51:00 the membrane, right? We have proteins, integrated proteins or integral proteins

51:05 those proteins that are pushing through the membrane, right. They've been integrated

51:14 the membrane, they're part of the . So you'll find them sticking out

51:19 least one side, but usually both . All right. And then we'll

51:24 proteins. And this is not a example of a peripheral protein. Usually

51:28 they a peripheral protein is is they be associated near to an integral

51:34 So they might be associated with it are uh kind of associated on the

51:39 here like to a membrane. So is trying to say it's been

51:43 but by definition, that would be . So the artist did a terrible

51:47 in this particular case. So peripheral are found on the periphery, right

51:55 of makes sense. Integrated pro proteins integrated into periphery proteins are found on

52:00 outside proteins that have sugars attached to are called glyco proteins. So here

52:07 can see glycoprotein notice the direction. there any glycoprotein down on this

52:12 No, because sugars always point All right. So the glycoprotein you're

52:17 see are just proteins that have the modi modi being the sugar um marker

52:23 sits on the outside. Now, molecules are not fixed in place.

52:31 right, they're, they're movable, not attached to each other. All

52:36 , what they have is they have that allow them to associate. We

52:41 about the phospho lipid phospho lipid has charged head. So it points towards

52:45 , the tail is non charged, ? So it's excluded from water.

52:50 this is gonna be true for the protein. So this region here of

52:55 protein is excluded from water. It's attracted to the environment that the nonpolar

53:03 are attracted to the regions that are out on either side, like those

53:09 charged or are associated or affiliated with . They are attracted to the

53:14 So that's why they're associated the way are. Remember when we talk about

53:18 amino acids, I said, here's big chart of 20 amino acids that

53:21 don't need to memorize, but they're together. And we have those variable

53:25 that have all these different characteristics. variable groups are the things that create

53:31 those proteins are going to be All right. So if they have

53:36 regions out on the outside, non region is going to be on the

53:40 , right? But they're not attached each other. So what that means

53:45 , is if you're this little you're basically kind of floating around going

53:49 . How you doing? You you're just moving around saying hi to

53:52 they can move within their side of layer as much as they want

53:58 right? Because they're freely mobile, proteins are not fixed in place unless

54:03 attached to the cytoskeleton. You can here we've got some cytoskeleton down

54:07 some of them might be attached, they're free to move around as well

54:13 they have that freedom of mobility. is no direct association. I worked

54:17 a lab at MD Anderson next door a lab that worked on proteins in

54:21 membrane. And what they, and , and what they were looking at

54:24 they're looking at their mobility and they're these were kind of these immune cells

54:28 kind of wandered around and stuff, wanted to see how well they wandered

54:32 in space. And so they hit up with these immuno fluorescent proteins that

54:35 described earlier and they would film And it was interesting because you'd see

54:40 they attach themselves to the plate because growing them in, in plates,

54:46 ? The the proteins would fix and when that cell would walk away,

54:50 protein that was attached to the plate then like sprint around the top of

54:54 cell and then go to the other , you know, kind of like

54:57 trunk or tank tread, right? that's just a, a really good

55:03 , a visual demonstration of what these are capable of doing. They just

55:07 based upon their need, right? where they should be associated. All

55:15 . So what we refer to this freedom of movement and this ability

55:19 things to move around is called the mosaic model fluid. Because the things

55:24 go wherever they want to go meaning because there's no rhyme or reason

55:29 to how these things are arranged, , they create this mosaic or unique

55:35 . Now, it's very, very , but it's possible for a lipid

55:42 flip from one side to the But usually this is a bad

55:46 It's usually an enzyme that's required. it costs a lot of energy and

55:50 actually a tool that we can use look for cells that are misbehaving.

55:54 we put it in there, we see these proteins or lipids flipping

56:01 So your membranes are fluid. But you fluid? Are you, are

56:06 like jelly? Are you like No. Right. If you've cooked

56:15 , have you all cooked before you've butter and stuck it in a

56:18 What happens to that, that hard of butter, that solid. When

56:21 put it on heat, it it goes from the fat to the

56:27 , doesn't it? Right. guess what? You're made up of

56:32 . If we put enough heat on , what are you gonna turn into

56:36 ? All right. And we live Houston. So it's a greater chance

56:40 us turning into oil pretty quickly right . If you live up in the

56:44 , like, like closer and closer the pole where it's got colder

56:48 you'd expect that cells would become more a fat, right? They'd become

56:52 solid that this is what's kind of on the way that you can think

56:57 this is and we don't always think this, but temperature is a,

57:02 measure of kinetic energy, right? much are the molecules moving, the

57:08 it is the greater the kinetic the more molecules move around? Do

57:12 remember that from life? What was , what was it before? Life

57:15 ? In, in like ninth it was like earth science or like

57:18 like a general science class. Do remember taking that way back when?

57:23 they kind of talk about steam versus and stuff like that? And it's

57:27 the molecules bouncing around, the more you add, the more molecules bounce

57:32 . And that's true. It doesn't if you're looking at water molecules or

57:36 you're looking at fat molecules in an where I have more heat, those

57:41 are bouncing into each other and they're themselves more elbow room. So you

57:44 more of that liquid state and in environments, those those molecules have less

57:50 energy so that you have less elbow . So they kind of scrunch up

57:54 and they become more solid. if you can't visualize this, I

57:57 you to go home and I want to pull out that, that a

58:01 of country croc that you have hiding the fridge and I want you to

58:05 it out on the counter for about hour and a half. Let that

58:07 warm up to room temperature and look there and tell me if you see

58:10 solid anymore because all that is is that has been driven down to

58:17 to a temperature that allows it to . And then you'll think about re

58:22 that country croc. You're like, is just oil. I, so

58:29 is a problem for yourselves, So how does ourselves overcome this?

58:37 , first off, we talked about and unsaturated, right? So here

58:42 have saturated, we said they can up really, really close together.

58:45 that's going to create a very, solid plasma membrane, but that's not

58:50 a good thing, right? In environments, that means things aren't going

58:54 be able to move back and forth the membrane. So what we do

58:59 inserted within the membrane, our s are uh unsaturated bonds, right?

59:07 fats. And what that does is most of the cell or most of

59:11 fats are gonna be kind of close every now and then you've got one

59:14 those fats that has a kink in . So it doesn't allow a fat

59:17 come in. So that creates kind a looser environment. All right.

59:23 at colder temperatures, I have a that can still remain kind of fluid

59:30 of the presence of these unsaturated That kind of makes sense. In

59:35 words, the colder you get, more solid you're gonna get. But

59:37 I have things that can't get close , I'm gonna stay kind of in

59:41 fluid state. So that allows us , to deal with cooler temperatures,

59:48 of cool. All right. But about these warmer temperatures? Right.

59:51 mean, everything is gonna be moving and, oh my goodness, you're

59:54 those unsaturated bonds. There's gonna be lot more space. So we're gonna

59:58 into liquid and we're gonna melt and it's just gonna be like the wicked

60:00 of the West at the end of Wizard of Oz. Uh Well,

60:05 we said there's more than fossil lipids are in the membrane. We have

60:08 like cholesterol and what cholesterol does is sneaks in to those gaps between the

60:14 lipids. One because it's a fat it wants to hang out with other

60:19 . But two because there's space for . And so when cholesterol works its

60:23 into the the gaps, it creates in those liquidy environments. And so

60:31 gives us resistance to higher temperatures. we remain more like a solid membrane

60:38 higher temperatures. So that gives our this ability to have this broader range

60:44 survival in higher and lower temperatures. of cool. Huh? You're

60:52 I don't care. All right. are little girls made of sugar and

60:58 ? Well, so are boys because all have a Glyco Calix,

61:03 The Glyco Cali is simply the sum all the different glycolipid and glycoprotein and

61:10 sugars that are found on the extracellular . The glycolic serves as a mechanism

61:17 cells to recognize other cells or your to recognize self versus non self.

61:23 giving ourselves basically a candy coating that this cell belongs here and everyone's glycolic

61:32 completely different from other people's. So just a mechanism of tagging self versus

61:38 self. Now, why do we about all this stuff? What is

61:41 whole function of this plasma membrane? right. Well, first off what

61:46 done is we've created a physical barrier water soluble substances. All right.

61:53 here, water is there. That the things that are floating in here

61:57 pass through the nonwater environment, If I have a charge, I'm

62:02 to this, I'm not attracted to . So I can't move through.

62:08 I've created a barrier to create a environment between the two points. So

62:13 outside of the cell is going to different from the inside of the

62:16 All right. The second thing I is I can create a selectively permeable

62:22 . I can insert into this plasma , a series of proteins like a

62:28 . And I can say I'm going allow you to come through the channels

62:34 specific. So they're going to identify one thing to allow them to come

62:39 . If I have a carrier, may be able to pick up one

62:42 like a glucose molecule and say you're allowed to come in. But

62:47 acid over there, I'm not interested you coming in, you have to

62:49 your own doorway. So I get choose what moves in and out of

62:53 barrier just like you get to do home. Think about your house.

62:57 is at the front of your A door, someone comes and knocks

63:02 the door, you can peek out say, am I going to let

63:05 in? It is a selective barrier what allows you to come in and

63:09 . If you take the door out its frame, anything can go in

63:12 out of the house, raccoons, , uh homeless people, your your

63:17 from next door, right? They'll up at the wrong time. So

63:22 we have is we have a mechanism controlling what moves it out in

63:27 So by controlling what moves in and specifically because of the presence of ions

63:32 how those ions are affiliated. What can do is we can create this

63:36 chemical gradient. So there's a difference the inside and a difference on the

63:41 . Whenever there's a gradient, that I have the potential to move more

63:45 less ions. And it's this electrical gradient that allows me to do unique

63:53 . This is what allows your muscles contract your neurons to communicate. So

63:58 created an environment to control through the permeability. Lastly, because we're making

64:08 different from that and we're keeping them , we can insert other molecules that

64:14 communicate between those two environments, These are like receptors. And so

64:19 can have a molecule come along bind this, which causes a change in

64:23 shape of this molecule which then communicates another molecule and tells this cell what

64:27 do without interrupting its unique environment. the plasma membrane isn't just a

64:35 it's a way of communication and a of regulation regulating the things that are

64:40 inside the cell. When I sat your seat, I thought the cell

64:45 was the single most boring thing on planet. And I got invited after

64:50 earned my phd to go work with on the plasma membrane. I said

64:54 , I couldn't, I didn't have heart trouble most boring subject ever.

64:58 the more I teach about the plasma , the more I'm like, oh

65:01 is what one of the most important you can ever learn about. And

65:04 not saying treat it like that. understand it's not just like I'm telling

65:08 this stuff because it's like it's actually kind of important. So a plasma

65:16 , does that make sense? Are good with what it is? What

65:18 does? We're going to come back the plasma membrane over and over and

65:22 again and you're going to get tired seeing it I'm just, I'm just

65:25 you know now, but it's because it, your cells wouldn't function the

65:29 that they. Do. You guys this slide? Yes. How are

65:34 doing on time? Oh, we're real good. It's been an

65:37 How are we doing? All So remember this slide, what we

65:42 said is, look, um when dealing with hereditary material genetics, uh

65:47 is transcribed and we're gonna, we're slow down on the word here,

65:52 into R N A R N A then translated into a functional protein.

65:57 a protein that does the work in cell. Now, if you've taken

66:00 biology, you've learned that there are like things like retroviruses, they don't

66:05 the central dogma. But this is how every cell on the planet

66:10 right. DNA? To R N R N A to protein proteins do

66:13 work, right? And so what wanna do is we wanna understand this

66:18 a little bit more um today than did yesterday. All right. So

66:23 understand what these words mean, We said what they were structurally,

66:26 DNA is. We said structurally what N A is. But let's really

66:30 of dive in DNA contains genes, are sequences of, of nucleotides that

66:39 instruction sets to tell your cell what of proteins to make. And in

66:45 sequence there is DNA that's useful for that protein. And then there is

66:51 in that sequence that is not useful making that protein. Now, that

66:55 mean that it's unuseful DNA. It's for that particular protein, right?

66:59 refer to these sequences as exxons and . So if it's for making that

67:04 , that is an Exxon, if not for making the protein, it's

67:07 Enron, those words come from intervening and Exxon, I can't remember.

67:12 excised, I think is how it's again. If you've taken any sort

67:18 biology classes, um you've probably learned there's more R N A s than

67:22 can probably count. I think in office, I have a poster that

67:25 something like 30 some odd different types R N A s, but we

67:29 have to know them all. We need to know these. All

67:32 So there are three basic types of N A s that play a role

67:35 proteins. Sentences. We talked already this one ribosome R N A.

67:40 there to make the ribosomes. All . So it's part of the

67:43 It helps to create this structure that's to read a strand of R N

67:48 called a messenger R N A. is the transcript of the gene that's

67:53 here in the DNA containing those exxons you need, that contain the instructions

67:59 make the protein. All right. , we're gonna process, we're gonna

68:04 this thing, we're gonna see how take a gene and we're gonna process

68:07 little bit in order to read, going to need R and A to

68:13 this messenger R N A. But bring in the amino acids to,

68:18 make your protein, you need a R N A which is called transfer

68:21 N A T R N A. we looked at the picture of the

68:24 N A and there was that little of a in the bottom corner.

68:27 was the R A that was transfer N A. And what it does

68:30 that there are different types of R A. They attach to a specific

68:34 acid and they serve as a carrier bring that amino acid to the

68:39 And when the ribosome reads a messenger N A, it puts the amino

68:43 in the right place. Now, we think of DNA, DNA and

68:50 nucleus are like, oh it's just , it's chromatin. Well,

68:54 it is chromatin, but chromatin is than just DNA. And again,

68:59 don't need to know the percentages, just to give you a sense is

69:01 DNA is not the biggest component of inside the nucleus inside chromatin. Chromatin

69:08 a whole bunch of proteins. These called his stones. That's what these

69:11 balls kind of look like. All . And what we're using is the

69:17 are a way to organize the And then there's also R N A

69:21 there as well. So chromatin exists multiple things. So if you're looking

69:25 a cell, ignore the chromosome for moment, then sorry, inside a

69:29 , that's kind of what a nucleus like, right? So you can

69:33 there's the chromatin and there's different types chromatin, there's croats, chromatin that's

69:38 being read and then there's chromatin that's doing anything that's been set aside.

69:42 not being used. The chromatin that's read is called euchromatin. All

69:48 So this would be what euchromatin looks . There's still his stones, but

69:52 at how the DNA is. It's of been unraveled, hasn't it?

69:57 ? It's like, oh, I'm to stretch it out so I can

70:00 what's on there. But if I'm reading the A, the DNA,

70:04 it's not being used by the it's more tightly wound up,

70:09 It's been set aside and pushed So it can't be red. That's

70:14 . And so when you look inside cell or inside that nucleus, you'll

70:18 areas that are dark in areas that light, the areas that are light

70:21 echt in areas that are dark or he achromat. All right. So

70:25 cell, what did I say? cell has all your DNA in

70:29 There are 33,000 genes, but not 33,000 genes are being used by that

70:34 . So some of it's gonna be , some of it's gonna be

70:38 all right. Now we refer to , his stones and the arrangement of

70:42 DNA on them as beads on a . And that's what you can kind

70:45 see here. And then, uh the period of replication, you

70:50 we don't want that because that seems , really unorganized. What we're gonna

70:53 is we're gonna compact it down so we can separate it out,

70:57 after we've replicated. And so what gonna do is you're gonna take that

71:01 and you're gonna form the chromosomes. so that's what a chromosome is.

71:06 just repackaging it, reorganizing it for purposes of replication. And then what

71:13 do is then you unwind it again you do it like that.

71:18 when I look at this and I when you look at this, it

71:20 unorganized, right? Does it look to you? Does that look

71:28 Two heads are nodding, the rest you are falling asleep? I think

71:33 looks unorganized. It looks like, know, think about like you ever

71:37 on a trip, right? You on a trip, got your

71:40 you're gonna fold everything, put everything nice and neat by the last day

71:43 the trip, what are you doing all your laundry? Just throw it

71:47 there. Maybe you get a bag it's like this is the dirty

71:50 but you still jam it in All right. That's what that kind

71:54 looks to me but the cell knows everything is because of all that,

71:58 laminin and all those structures inside No. Remember we're reading this,

72:06 is what we're interested in, in active cell. That's euchromatin. That's

72:11 the genes are. So you can that's what this picture is trying to

72:16 . And what we're gonna do is gene is just a sequence of that

72:23 , right? It is the whole along the length. And so most

72:27 they, they have uh varying the average is about 3000 nucleotides

72:33 right? It has a region that it, it has a region that

72:37 , we call the starting region, promoter, we have the ending region

72:41 the terminator. So what we're looking in this little cartoon is supposed to

72:47 the sequence that you're reading up And so you basically you read from

72:51 promoter and you go through the little things represent exxons, the little black

72:55 here with the triangle represents an intron you read along until you go to

73:00 to the terminating end. So this thing is supposed to represent a

73:04 but there's a lot of stuff in that's unnecessary for the R N

73:08 right? So the the only thing the, the R N A needs

73:12 have are these purple things because everything is just the extra stuff. And

73:20 the idea here is that even you're, when you make the R

73:25 A, it's gonna look like the whole thing. You need to

73:28 rid of all the extra stuff. you need to process it. So

73:32 transcript, right? So what did do is I transcribed? Remember what

73:38 , what we, how I describe DNA is like the blueprint at the

73:43 . You don't take the blueprint down the work site because you're gonna destroy

73:47 . So what do you do? make a copy when you copy

73:50 you're transcribing something, right? I need you to transcribe these notes for

73:56 . So make me a copy. that's what it's doing. That's the

74:00 is the copy, right? So take that transcript and you're like,

74:05 right, well, this has more than I need because it has extra

74:09 . So I need to process So this transcript is referred to as

74:13 pre M R N A. I processed it yet. And so then

74:18 gonna go through a process of Now, there is way more information

74:23 you need to know in this Back in the day. I thought

74:26 was important that you all need to this. You don't need to know

74:29 . All right. But you can up here, this is saying,

74:31 like I got Enrons, Exxon Exxon, Enron to. So what

74:35 gonna do is I'm going to first some modifications to the R N A

74:39 that it lives longer. All So that's what you see here in

74:42 cap and this poly tail, these things that just make the transcript

74:48 And then what we do is then go through and we excise the things

74:51 we don't need and we keep the that we do need. And so

74:54 what we're doing here. Notice you take different combinations and get different

75:01 So from the same transcript, you make different proteins. Hm Body is

75:06 of interesting figure stuff out like All right. But ultimately, what

75:10 do is you get down here and you have something that you can work

75:15 . All right, that those three at the bottom, these three things

75:19 the transcript that you're gonna use to the protein. All right. So

75:26 process of making protein is called I'm gonna translate the instructions from the

75:36 to make a protein. So really we've done is we've gone from nucleotide

75:41 nucleotide. So there's no translation, ? Nucleotide is a nucleotide is a

75:46 . Would you agree with me on ? What do you think?

75:50 If I say, write this out you copy me exactly. You're not

75:56 any changes. But the next step to translate into something different. You're

76:04 nucleotides into amino acids. That's why translation is moving from one language to

76:13 one code to another Right. So first step, what do we

76:17 We transcribe, we went from DNA R N A, right? We

76:21 from the blueprint to the copy, made modifications to the copy so that

76:25 understandable. And then now what we're do is we're gonna take those instructions

76:29 we're gonna read them and turn them that protein sequence, transcription, second

76:37 , translation R N A to Now, what do you need in

76:42 to translate? Couple of things you something to read. That's your M

76:48 N A, right? Messenger That's the thing that we modified,

76:55 ? That messenger R N A is tell us where we're going to

76:58 And what we're gonna do is when start, we're gonna read in three

77:02 sequences called codons, right? So , they're the code, right?

77:08 then, so there's one that starts molecule in your body has the same

77:12 codon, it encodes a methionine. every protein in your body starts with

77:17 methionine. Would you say methionine is important amino acid to have in your

77:22 at all times? Yeah. If don't have methionine, you can't make

77:26 , you can't make proteins. Your don't work. If cells don't

77:28 you die. Methionine equals life kind like football. Football is life with

77:35 life. Three of the codes tell when to stop. So when the

77:43 frame, when the ribosome comes that code that code, that

77:46 you don't need to know them. just pointing them out. So

77:49 it says, OK, this is I stop, I've stopped making the

77:52 . OK? So all of them the same but three different ways to

77:58 . OK? So I need to a message. Second thing I

78:01 I need amino acids. If I have amino acids, I can't make

78:03 proteins, right? So free amino , what they're gonna do is they

78:08 to be just freely available and then need to have the T R N

78:11 T R N A is gonna bind to the free amino acid. It

78:14 along, grabs it. So here a free T R N A.

78:18 it is bound up. So that circle represents an amino acid. And

78:23 what we're gonna do is we're gonna the amino acids to the transcript as

78:28 is being read by the ribosome. the ribosome is the thing that actually

78:33 the reading, right? It's the that says, oh, this is

78:37 secret and this is the amino acid comes along and we're just gonna build

78:41 chain as it goes. All This is the last slide you have

78:48 write something or you have to know . I don't want you to know

78:51 different codons, right? It's this is a uh a simple uh

78:58 a cross, not, not cross but basically it's a table that shows

79:02 the 20 amino acids and the codes they're used to read them. You

79:05 need to know those. Ok. it's one of the ways that you

79:08 kind of look like and say, , I'm looking for reading frames.

79:10 can use this to kind of figure out and you can see that sometimes

79:13 are more than one code on for single amino acid. All right.

79:19 you can do that. The way you can think about this is that

79:22 I'm looking at the DNA, remember said DNA gets translated into R N

79:27 and then the or transcribed into R A R N A gets translated into

79:30 protein. So if you look at DNA, you can see the

79:35 that's what we call it in the . The D the triplet has the

79:40 of a codon. So those are codons, notice that they have cells

79:44 not uh uh thymine, right? the DNA would have thymine there.

79:49 you can look at the DNA and , oh, I cannot figure out

79:51 amino acid sequence is going to be because the protein has amino acid

79:55 So here is an example of a , right? The T R N

80:00 has a sequence that recognizes the code . And then that particular uh recognized

80:06 is belongs to the T R A car carries methionine in this particular

80:10 So that's how you kind of get trans translation going along right now.

80:18 just wanna show you this. I want you to know this, this

80:21 kind of showing you how it All right, there are three different

80:27 , there's the part where you are in. So you can see which

80:31 am I reading? I'm reading in direction from the five prime end to

80:34 three prime end. All right. the first thing that I'm reading is

80:39 right there, I bring in the R N A, the T R

80:42 A that can recognize that sequence comes bringing its amino acid, the extending

80:49 is gonna be found in the middle . So you can see this is

80:52 protein that's being extended. What happens , is as this goes, this

80:55 moved over to there that shifts Now this one's empty. So it

80:59 over to this spot and then as moves on, it pops out and

81:02 it goes find its own amino And so it just constantly moves in

81:05 direction and your protein is extending, the long chain to the new one

81:11 come along. So that's how you it right. So if you are

81:16 the codon, the next codon in sequence of the cystine, so what

81:20 be looking at is this is the uh peptide. This is the next

81:26 , the next one, the next , the next one, then the

81:28 one and then you can just kind go down and see each triplet as

81:31 going along. And I'm gonna guess these match up. Um Yep.

81:37 . So they're matching along. And this would be the terminal region and

81:43 is coming over here to the sea region in this particular model. And

81:49 that's how you make proteins. You read M R N A with a

81:54 with the right T R N A in the right amino acids until you

81:57 across a stop code on. In case you stop and you release the

82:05 , rough endoplasm curriculum. That's all doing. I'm just extending this thing

82:10 , but I'm extending it into the . The thing that's interesting about this

82:15 and why I wanted to show it you. And with this one up

82:18 is that it's not one ribosome at time. What we're doing is we're

82:24 a single transcript and we're using multiple to read it. And so for

82:31 transcript, you can get multiple right. So this is showing you

82:37 completed protein, this is almost this is even less completed, this

82:40 even less, less completed, this barely started. But in the

82:44 what you're going to end up with tons and tons of protein. So

82:47 you need is a transcript, a transcript to do So, and we're

82:56 down to the end, which is of nice because I know your brain

83:01 turning into, he's gonna put Chocolate proteins have shapes. All

83:15 all proteins have shape. We even it. We said if we apply

83:19 or P H that shape goes out whack the protein can't do what it

83:22 to do. So that means its is important. How do we get

83:25 to the shape that it needs to ? And this is the weirdest thing

83:29 biology. I still don't understand I think it's the coolest, but

83:32 don't understand it. All right, are proteins called chaperones. All

83:39 And this is as close of, , of this is what they look

83:43 , they look like, uh, shakers, you know, like cocktail

83:47 . All right. So this is stage of biology where magic happens,

83:52 ? So, as a protein is made, what happens is, is

83:56 chaperones come in. So these are of other uh chaperons that have come

84:01 and they help twist in the bend . And what they do is they

84:04 into these larger chaperones and then literally cap comes along. So there's your

84:11 , it comes along and then, it comes out the right shape.

84:20 don't know how it does, but pretty cool. All right.

84:25 the reason we have to do this if you get a accidental folding,

84:28 it doesn't fold correctly. What happens you'll create inappropriate a activation sites,

84:35 that will cause activity that the cell want, which is bad.

84:40 So this ensures that you get the shape of the molecule. So that

84:45 the right thing. This is an field. Every protein in your body

84:50 folded and I don't know how it how to do it, but it

84:56 kind of cool. Huh? All . So just know that protein proteins

85:01 folded because they have an assistant or chaperone that helps it along its

85:11 So what we've done is we've moved DNA, right? DNA is your

85:17 which have all these weird sequences that to be processed or copied and then

85:23 process, then that R N A red and you get these proteins that

85:27 folded and it's the protein that does the work in the cell. It's

85:31 thing that makes your cells do the that it does, right? It's

85:35 interesting. So, proteins have inherent them four levels of organization,

85:45 We said proteins are made of amino and it's the sequence of the amino

85:50 that make them interesting, right? like words are sequences of letters,

85:57 are sequence of amino acids. So primary structure of a protein is the

86:02 sequence in order of those amino acids the internal to the C terminal.

86:07 right. So that's the lowest order right, that's the most simple structure

86:13 a protein. But because of those um I don't know where is

86:18 our group, each of these proteins these unique interactions with their surrounding

86:25 OK. And so what will happen , is because of those interactions,

86:31 get some really interesting shapes. Two particular have are, are repeated structures

86:37 appear over and over and over All right. So what you end

86:42 with is these things that are called structures. So the sequence gives rise

86:46 secondary structures. This is an example a beta sheet. And what's happening

86:51 is that the sequence causes the the chain to kind of move back and

86:55 . So it creates kind of this area and that's what these arrows are

87:00 here. It's kind of this flat for the protein. It creates kind

87:03 unique interactions with the surrounding environment. thing is that the sequence can cause

87:08 force a helix and this is an helix. And so that's what all

87:12 little curly looking things do. And now what we have is we have

87:17 secondary structure that begins to bend and the molecule into a specific shape.

87:23 notice in secondary structure, we're dealing a small region, right? This

87:28 a small region, that's a small , that's a small region. So

87:33 structure gives rise to shape to the and then it's the sum of these

87:39 structures that give rise to the shape the entire molecule, which is what

87:44 refer to as the tertiary structure. it's this thing that we really care

87:49 . Actually this is the example of secondary structure right here. So there

87:52 can see the beta sheet there, can see the helix, all

87:56 So this provides flexibility that provides that's not so important. Just no

88:02 structure gives rise to tertiary structure. right, the tertiary structure is the

88:10 of the entire molecule. Now, proteins have are there's two types of

88:14 in your body by shape globular What do you think globular proteins look

88:18 globs? Yeah. And then you stringy like proteins. There's a different

88:23 for it. I can't think of they're called but like your collagen.

88:25 right, you guys are young, collagen is still tight, you're not

88:28 anywhere, right? I'm I'm That's the real sag, right?

88:39 is more rope like. And so this tertiary structure which arises from secondary

88:47 that gives the protein shape and its to interact with its environment and the

88:53 that it does. Now, this is a function of, of all

88:57 types of bonds and interactions between all side chains. And so again,

89:01 don't need to know the names of these different types of bonds, but

89:03 are different types of bonds that allow interaction So they're trying to show you

89:07 , you know, hydrophobic interactions. does that mean? Well, that

89:10 I don't want to be around So I bend myself inward. And

89:14 these hydrophobic side chains are now internal the self poking other ends out,

89:20 ? And now I have an environment can now interact or a region that

89:24 now interact with the external environment, ? So outer stuff faces outward to

89:34 with the environment. Other things that been pushed inward are there to hold

89:38 together and maintain the shape that's tertiary . It's the shape of the whole

89:45 . It is what determines its interaction its environment. Some proteins have what

89:51 called a quinary structure. This is molecule you've seen every time you talk

89:55 proteins, this is hemoglobin. Why we talk about it? Why do

90:01 use it? Because it demonstrates all things that we want to talk about

90:05 structure here is dealing with four or or sorry, four more two or

90:09 because this is four polypeptide chain, chains mean basically a protein. All

90:16 . So here's hemoglobin, you have , they should be opposite. I

90:21 know why they did it this Two betas, two alphas inside you

90:26 a non pertinent structure. Those are um um I mean, they're,

90:34 the word I'm looking for here is prosthetic groups. All right. So

90:40 essence, it's not just protein, can see there's other things in

90:43 And so these things are being held , not by protein, protein

90:48 but by attractions, which is what these things are saying, right?

90:53 basically held together. If I wanted um uh break this thing apart,

90:58 just use a little bit of soap it would all fall apart because it

91:01 those interactions, right? So some are gonna be uh or proteins will

91:09 an aggregate of many different little proteins together. And this allows you to

91:15 much more interesting things like a series chemical reactions very, very quickly but

91:21 all proteins will have this. So structure is like this special category where

91:27 the sum of many different peptides working . So structure is really important.

91:38 is really important because it allows for to interact and do things and what

91:45 wanna do just to kind of sum up here. I think we only

91:49 like how many more slidess? Six I do? Like one a

91:55 Will that make you happy? You're hell, no, he's talked too

91:58 already. All right, we're gonna kind of wrap everything up in a

92:02 bow and just kind of walk out here. All right. Did you

92:05 how when at the beginning of the I kind of walked through very specifically

92:08 went to nucleus to rough in the , in particular there was an order

92:11 I was kind of going one to next to the next to next.

92:15 , those things together are referred to the in the membrane system. And

92:19 I'm just gonna walk through the inner system with you. All right,

92:22 have the nucleus right, holding the information making R N A R N

92:28 gets turned into proteins. So proteins be made out in the cytosol,

92:32 it can also be made in the endoplasm reticulum. So the rough endoplasm

92:36 remember is an extension of the nuclear . And then from the rough endoplasm

92:41 , I get vesicles and those vesicles being shipped over to the golgi,

92:46 ? And the Golgi does sorting and and then from there vessels are popped

92:52 again from the trans side and then they're going to do is either I'm

92:55 to secrete or I'm going to merge the plasma membrane, right. So

93:00 those things together, these structures collectively referred to as the endo membrane

93:06 All right, they're interconnected with one , either directly like what we saw

93:11 or indirectly through those vesicles to allow the movement of proteins to the surface

93:16 for secretion. So there are parts work together to accomplish a single

93:23 All right. So protein sensor is we start transporting to where we

93:27 We're also gonna see some metabolism as and some detoxification because lysosomes play a

93:33 in that system as well. But all share membrane. So if I

93:38 to make new membrane, where does all start over here, the nucleus

93:44 it just kind of works its way up to the plasma membrane, I

93:48 recycle off that as well. Vesicles said exist. But we don't,

93:55 not just free floating, they're not sorting themselves and kind of going wherever

93:59 want to go. They're actually We have these things called motor

94:05 So here we see a microtubule, a vesicle or an organelle and then

94:13 is a motor protein. Now, video I showed you has a picture

94:16 one of these things and if you watch this thing, it's based off

94:19 electron micrograph of these things moving. I'm telling you this thing couldn't have

94:24 created by anything other than Disney because looks like a cartoon character. You

94:28 what it has, it has these feet that are a T P

94:32 So A T P comes along. , you get catalyzed of that.

94:36 T P releases the energy and it the foot to lift up and move

94:41 and it walks like this. And you can imagine here it is carrying

94:47 big old mitochondria. It's the goofiest thing you'll ever see. There's different

94:54 , there's dines and, and you tell by their name that they play

94:57 role in motor and movement. But point in all this is that nothing

95:02 free floating in the side is it's all being directed. It all

95:06 pathways and structure around it that allows that particular type of movement. And

95:12 when it gets to the membrane, not just like la, la

95:15 I'll just float to wherever I There are docks and docking material on

95:20 vesicle to direct it to where it's to go. All right, these

95:24 called the snares, right? Snares , these is, is complex of

95:29 . Very, very complicated, but can think about it like this.

95:32 , there's snares on the vesicle and , there's snares on the membrane.

95:37 the snares on the vesicle are called snares for vesicles t for transport,

95:43 think. All right. And basically it does it says or target.

95:46 you go. It's even easier. it's real simple. Basically, the

95:50 shows up to where it needs to , but I'm not gonna release everything

95:53 away. I'm gonna wait until you me to release stuff. And so

95:56 lines itself up and get ready to , release some materials and then when

96:01 signal comes along off, it opens all the material comes out and then

96:06 vesicle fuses with the membrane and becomes of the plasma membrane. That's how

96:12 snares work. And so this is that your cells use all the

96:17 It's not just this. Oh, can go wherever it wants to go

96:20 often. Calcium is the signal. , the next slide, please don't

96:25 through and memorize this just but do memorize. But if you want to

96:29 the steps and all the things that involved, you can just kind of

96:32 through this and look at it. if you're not interested, that's ok

96:35 . Right. I make my, , my upper level students learn that

96:41 it shows you like, look, , I'm, I'm ready. All

96:44 gotta do is to tell me to oh add in the calcium off.

96:46 go it's kind of cool. And in the end membrane system here we

96:56 pinching off from the goal. What we do with that? Right.

97:00 one of the things that we can is we can become a lysosome or

97:03 become a transport vesicle so that we either secrete the material or here's an

97:09 of a receptor being joined in. so up it goes, it,

97:13 forms with that snare sits in the and when it's told to it,

97:17 goes like this. So you can it fuses and opens up. So

97:23 opens up so that the inside is facing outward, look at the direction

97:27 which the receptor is pointing, it's into the vesicle. So when that

97:34 opens up, the receptor is pointing way outward. So now it can

97:42 signals from the outside. So these the three things that you can

97:47 If you can go through the new system, hydrologic enzymes become lysosomes.

97:55 I just throw this up here just remind you what a lysosome is.

97:58 don't even need. That's the same . And here we are at the

98:04 slide we're getting done 20 minutes till can go get your coffee.

98:14 Or maybe I should talk for 10 about proxy. No. OK.

98:18 right. Or I say proxen, not everything in your cell needs to

98:24 around forever. In fact, most the things you want to destroy almost

98:26 quickly as you make them. Just general rule. It's like we don't

98:31 to keep stuff around. This is garbage disposal of the cell. All

98:37 . And what happens is as as a protein becomes uh damaged or

98:42 longer needed or, you know, , or it's been poorly folded because

98:47 whole, you know, a cocktail didn't work. We want to get

98:50 of that stuff because it can be to the cell and the process of

98:54 cell. And so this structure which in the side is all this proteome

98:59 is there to serve that purpose of this. And so the first thing

99:02 happens is the protein gets tagged to destroyed, right? And so there's

99:06 proteins called ubiquitin. That's what the B stands for and it's called ubiquitin

99:12 the proteins are found everywhere. it's ubiquitous protein. See, stupid

99:18 . And then that tag is a to say, oh um I can

99:23 you now. So I will feed into the proteome and then out of

99:26 bottom after grind it all down. when you end up with a bunch

99:30 amino acids and then once you have acids, what can you do with

99:33 acids recycle and make more protein? this is just a simple way of

99:40 proteins and protein degradation for the purpose the cell, right? We're done

99:52 the day. Um Like I for those of you came a little

99:55 late. I know most of you here right on time. But you

99:58 , when I started talking, um have a 7 30 meeting tonight with

100:02 CASA people. I'm really happy that at 7 30 at night because

100:07 you know, um but hopefully, after that meeting, we'll have uh

100:12 test available and a thing to sign for, I'll email you as soon

100:16 I know that the sign ups are and available. So it'll either be

100:21 , you know, after my meeting it will be tomorrow morning if it's

100:25 completed after that meeting. Ok. everyone's on the same page. No

100:30 has, you know, quick access anything like that. You guys have

100:35 great day. I will see you about this. We are three days

100:39 , we are almost a quarter of semester done. All right, you

100:45 have a great day. I'll be my office for at least an hour

100:49 if you need
