Cell structure
nucleus
nuclear envelope: the two membranes, situated nucleolus: one or more of which is found inside the nucleus;
close together its function is to manufacture ribosomes using the
information in its own DNA
nuclear pores: pores found in the nuclear
envelope which control the exchange of materials - deeply staining area
-main functions is to make ribosomes =rRNA+protein
Ribosomes
ribosome: a tiny organelle found in large numbers in all cells; prokaryotic ribosomes(70S) are about 20 nm in
diameter while eukaryotic ribosomes(80S) are about 25 nm in diameter
Ribosomes allow all the interacting molecules involved in protein synthesis, such as mRNA,
tRNA, amino acids and regulatory proteins, to gather together in one place
- free ribosomes
suspended in the cytosol
- bound ribosomes
attached to the outside of the endoplasmic reticulum or nuclear envelope, so bound ribosomes
generally make proteins that are destined for insertion into membranes, for packaging within certain
organelles such as lysosomes
The Endoplasmic Reticulum: Biosynthetic Factory
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER): a network of flattened sacs running through the cytoplasm of
eukaryotic cells; ER is continuous with the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope.
The ER membrane separates the internal compartment of the ER, called the ER lumen (cavity) or
cisternal space
smooth ER: it lacks ribosomes. It makes lipids and steroids, such as cholesterol and the
reproductive hormones oestrogen and testosterone. Also include detoxification of drugs and
poisons(细胞色素P450), and storage of calcium ions(Ca2+-ATPase).
Rough ER
• making secretory proteins
Most secretory proteins are
glycoproteins, proteins with carbohydrates
covalently bonded to them. The
carbohydrates are attached to the proteins
in the ER lumen by enzymes built into the
ER membrane
lysosome: a spherical organelle found in eukaryotic cells; it contains digestive (hydrolytic) enzymes and
has a variety of destructive functions, such as removal of old cell organelles
• At least some lysosomes probably arise by budding from the trans face of
the Golgi apparatus
Amyloplast/'æməlo,plæst/造粉体: storage of
starch
Statolith/'stætəʊlɪθ/平衡⽯: gravitropism
Vacuoles: Diverse Maintenance Compartments

Components of the Cytoskeleton
• Three main types of fibers make up the cytoskeleton:
• Microtubules微管 are the thickest of the three components
of the cytoskeleton, formed by tubulin微管蛋白
• Microfilaments微丝, also called actin filaments, are the
thinnest components
• Intermediate filaments 中间纤维are fibers with diameters in
a middle range
Function of microtubules:
- cell support and determining cell shape;
- the 'spindle' on which chromatids and chromosomes separate
during nuclear division is made of microtubules
Microtubules- tubulin
• Alpha and beta tubulin
• dimer
• intracellular transport
system
• In animal cells, microtubules grow out from a centrosome
• Within the centrosome there is a pair of centrioles, each composed of
nine sets of triplet microtubules arranged in a ring
• Spindle microtubules:help determine the locations of the chromosome
Cilia 纤毛and Flagella 鞭毛
cilia: short and often numerous flagella: long and found usually one or two per cell

filaments
• Bulk transport allows larger materials to enter or leave the cell without having to
cross the membrane (this is an active process and requires ATP hydrolysis)
• Endocytosis
• Phagocytosis: solid
• Pinocytosis: liquid
• Exocytosis
Endocytosis
• Infolding of membrane
• Fusion of membrane

Leading strand of replication
5¢
Helicase unwinds and separates the double-stranded DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds
between base pairs
DNA Gyrase reduces the torsional strain created by the unwinding of DNA by helicase
Single Stranded Binding bind to the DNA strands after they have been separated and prevent the strands
(SSB) Proteins from re-annealing
DNA Primase generates a short RNA primer (~10–15 nucleotides) on each of the template
strands
DNA Polymerase III attaches to the 3’-end of the primer and covalently joins the free nucleotides
together in a 5’ → 3’ direction
DNA Polymerase I removes the RNA primers from the lagging strand and replaces them with DNA
nucleotides
DNA Ligase joins the Okazaki fragments together to form a continuous strand
DNA polymerase III: 5’→3’

Transcription
• Initiation: RNA polymerase attaches and initiates transcription at
promoter
• Elongation
• Termination:
• in bacteria: terminator
• In eukaryotes: polyadenylation signal sequence
Transcription
• Only in eukaryotes
• Alteration of mRNA Ends
• 5’-cap
