Ribosome

Palade particle/ protein factories

 

      Discovered by Robinson and Brown 1953 (in plant)

      By Palade (1955) in animal cell - also term the coin.

      E coli cell contain- 20,000-30,000 ribosomes.

      A typical Plant cell contain – up to 5,00,000.

      Present in all eukaryotes- except mammal RBC.

      These are Ribo nucleo proteins and Naked protoplasmic particles.

      Size- length 200-340A0, diameter – 170-240 A0

      It is the Site of protein synthesis- for which called as protein factories.

Ribosome


      Contain 2 sub units-

       Larger Sub unit- dome shape, where as Smaller sub unit – ellipsoid.

      L.S.U.- contain Protuberance, ridge  and stalk.

      S.S.U. –contain  Platform, cleft,  head and base.

      Ribosome needs Mg 2+ for binding of both units.

      They may occur in single or in polysome form.

      Poly some connected to m RNA.

      May be of two type: Organelle ribosome and cytoplasmic ribosome.

      Cytoplasmic- free in cytoplasm or attached to the ER by large sub unit (helped by special Ribophorin or SRP protein)

      Organelle ribosome present in plastid (PlastidoRibosome) and mitochondria (Mitoriboosome)

      Bounded Ribosome transfer protein through the ER.

      The newly formed Protein folded and transferred by specific proteins, called as Chaperones.

      S means Svedberg Unit (S= 1×10 -13 sec) or sedimentation coefficient in centrifuge

      80 S = 340× 240A0 (Mass= 4.5 million Dalton)

      70s = 290 ×210 A0  (Mass = 3.0 million Dalton)

 

Composition

      Chemically – Ribosomes are = Protein and rRNA. (RibonucleoProtein)

      The protein are both structural and enzymes.

      Ribosome of liver cell may contain lipid up to 10%.


 

Function

      Perform Protein synthesis.

      It also helps in Enzyme synthesis.

      R RNA present in Ribosome – act as attachment point for mRNA and t RNA.

      Gives protection to newly synthesized Proteins.

 

Micro bodies

      These are small cell organelles.

      Single cell membrane present.

      Mostly Absorb oxygen and take part in oxidation.

      These are of 2 type- Peroxisome and Glyoxysomes.

Peroxisomes:


      These microbodies Contain Enzymes for Peroxide Biosynthesis.

      Discovered by- J. Rhodin 1954, described as organelle by De Duve et al (1965).

      Term Coined by De Duve 1969, detail study by Tolbert- 1969.

      Present in both plant and animal.

      In Photosynthetic cell- 70-100 in number.

      More in liver and kidney cell.

      Present near ER, mitochondria and Chloroplast.

      They develop from ER.

      Diameter is 0.5- 1.0 μm.

      A special Protein group present – peroxins.

      Covered by single membrane.

      Matrix is granular or may be fibrils arranged.

      Contain Enzymes- urate oxidase, amino acid oxidase, Hydroxy acid oxidase, catalase etc.

      Take O2- form Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 ) act as scavanging molecule.

Function:

      De-toxification of alcohol (25%).

      Unusual substance or Xenobiotics (e.g- some A.A. , alkanes etc)- broken inside peroxisome.

      Urate is nutralized in side peroxisome to allatonin.

      F.A chain broken down by Peroxisome (to form Prosta glandin).

      Involved in Photorespiration process in plants.

      In root nodules- fixed nitrogen to ureids- help for transport.

Glyoxysome

      By-discovered Beevers in 1961 and studiedd by  Briedenbach in 1967.

      Contain enzyme for B-Oxydation of F.A. and for Glyoxylate Pathway.

      Also called Special – peroxisome.

      After completing their function they change to Peroxisome.

      Present in germinating oil seed and in some fungi.

      Contain enzyme rich matrix and colloidal core.

Function:

      Produce Acetyl CoA, during Beta-Oxydation of F.A.

      Acetyl CoA- help in producing ATP.

      Reappear in Senescent part of plant for degradation of Lipid and to re metabolize the product.

Sphaerosomes or Oleosome :

      Single membrane bound small spherical vesicles. (Store and synthesis of  Lipid)

      Develop from ER.

      Discovered by Perner in 1953.

      Spherical structure of 0.5-0.1 μm diameter.

      Maximum lipid contain – 98%  + protein (very few).

      Found in huge amount in endosperm of oily seed, maize root tip.

      Also contain Enzymes for Lipid synthesis.

Hydrolytic enzyme also present believed to have the lysosomal activity in plant cell.

    1. These are a group of protein with important function, mostly for peroxisome. Thanks for asking.
