Q

there are two methods of membrane trafficking, exocytosis and exocytosis->endocytosis, how do they differ in destination specificity

A
  • exocytosis: directly to the target domain after sorting in the tgn
  • exocytosis to any domain then endocytosis followed by recycling to the target domain

Q
  1. are trafficking routes polarized? (give examples)
  2. different routes are balanced by what? (give examples)
A
  1. yes they are polarized (bc diff beginning and ends: eg er -> golgi -> pm and pm->early endosome->lysosome)
  2. different routes are balanced by retrieval pathways (eg er retrieval from golgi and resecretion to pm)

Q

what is the default pathway in membrane trafficking and describe it

A

constitutive secretion is default: most cargo moves like this, specific signals do not seem to be required for constitutive secretion

Q

clathrin coated vesicles can return membrane back to the golgi, what does this do to the vesicle and cargo

A

secretion can release concentrated cargo. this isn’t just for the constitutive pathway.

this shrinks the vesicle and makes the cargo more concentrated = mature secretory vesicle

Q

describe regulated secretion

A

regulated secretion can release materials in response to a signal.
regulated secretion vesicles are fully formed but do not fuse with the pm until a signal is received. the vesicles still can come from the tgn.
eg mast cell releasing stored histamine

Q

in which 3 situations will regulated secretion deliver extra membrane material

A

a) cytokinesis: the 2 cells need extra cell membranes to bud
b) phagocytosis: it forms the vesicle (a membrane bound container) to take in substance
c) plasma membrane repair: eg wound repair

16
Q

endocytosed proteins have 3 options, what are they

A
  1. recycling to the same domain of the pm eg if it took something in, gets sorted in the endosome, the vesicle can go back to the same pm
  2. transcytosis to the other domain of the pm
  3. degradation in the lysosome
17
Q

describe cholesterol uptake as an example of exocytosis

A
  • ldl (low density lipoprotein) gets enveloped in clathrin coated vesicles, clathrin gets uncoated after, and the vesicle fuses to early endosome
  • the ldl receptor that initially took it in, returns to pm through recycling after early endosome
  • ldl in early can go to late endosome
  • later, in the endolysosome there are hydrolytic enzymes which result in the degradation of ldl and it leads to free cholesterol which can go through transcytosis to wherever it is needed
  • hydrolytic enzymes stay in lysosomes
18
Q

broadly describe the 3 types of membrane changes during vesicle trafficking

A
  1. forming: vesicle forms from the donor membrane into the cytoplasm – contents could be from outside cell or the cell lumen
  2. fusion: vesicle merges with a target membrane (could be expelling contents into outside cell or lumen are merging)
  3. changes: vesicle forms from a donor membrane away from the cytoplasm (from cytosol to outside cell)
19
Q

________ can mediate vesicle formation into the cytoplasm

A

clathrin

20
Q

explain how clathrin can mediate vesicle formation into the cytoplasm

A
  • cargo receptors on the donor membrane select for the cargo
  • an adaptor protein from the inside of cell (ie cytosol) help clathrin coat
  • budding begins
  • vesicle forms w the help of membrane bending and fission proteins into coated coated vesicle
  • vesicle gets uncoated = naked transport vesicle
  • recall that vesicle coats are selective of cargo and specifically targeted (copII goes from er to golgi, copI is around golgi and back to er, clathrin can go from golgi to endosomes and ecm to endosomes etc)
21
Q

t-snares and v-snares must be on same or opposite membranes to help mediate vesicle fusion

A

opposite membranes

22
Q

which type of membrane changes are ESCRT proteins related to

A

vesicle changes: vesicle forms from a donor membrane away from the cytoplasm

23
Q

explain how escrt proteins can form vesicles away from the cytoplasm

A
  • vesicles can form away from the cytoplasm into ec space
  • vesicle formation machinery is in the cytoplasm
  • often used for cytokinesis but gets hijacked by viruses so the virus particle from the cytosol leaves into ec space using this sort of transport
  • escrt-0 is on PI(3)P and a signaling receptor w ligand attached which has a monoubiquitin
  • escrt-0 passed it to 1 then 2 then at 3 it promotes budding and escorts the virus leaving the cell
  • the endosome membrane forms the intralumenal vesicle
24
Q

How many of the following are examples of vesicle formation into the
cytoplasm?
* COPII-mediated secretory vesicle formation at the ER
* ESCRT-mediated vesicle formation
* clathrin-mediated endocytic vesicle formation
* any process mediated by SNARE proteins
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3

A

c) 2
statement 1 and 3 are correct. 2 is wrong bc it leaves the cell, not into the cytoplasm. 4 is wrong bc its SNARE relates to fusion, not formation.

25
Q

where are different types of phosphoinositides (PIPs) found

A

they are found at different subcellular locations

26
Q

what do phosphoinositides (PIPs) do to different membrane domains

A

label them

27
Q

what are the components of phosphoinositides (PIPs) structure

A

inositol sugar, phosphate group, glycerol, lipids
the inositol sugar is the head group, the glycerophospholipid is made out of the rest of the components

28
Q

where can phosphoinositides (PIPs) be phosphorylated

A

on the inositol sugar

29
Q

what are the possible phosphorylation sites numbers based on

A

carbon numbering

30
Q

t/f will phosphatidyl inositol be unphosphorylated in its normal state, if not, where?

A

false, there will always be phosphorylation on carbon 1 bc that’s how its attached

31
Q

for example, in PI(3,4)P2 (the 2 is subscript) what do those numbers mean

A

the (3,4) are the phosphorylation site positions, the 2 in P2 is the total number of extra phosphorylation sites (in addition to the one on C1)

32
Q

phosphoinositides (PIPs) are interconverted by which 2 enzymes

A

kinases and phosphatases

33
Q

t/f can every modification on a phosphoinositides (PIPs) be possible to give you every possible phosphoinositides (PIPs)

A

no

34
Q

t/f different proteins bind to different phosphoinositides (PIPs)

A

true

35
Q

which phosphoinositides (PIPs) targets clathrin coat assembly and how

A

PI(4,5)P2. adaptor proteins bind PI(4,5)P2, cargo, and clathrin ++ helps clathrin bind to the right place.

PI(4,5)P2 is on the membrane and binds to the inner clathrin coat = the AP2 is open, the cargo receptors bind to the APs

36
Q

_____________ are molecular switches that can direct vesicles, and state is exchanged for what

A

rab gtpases. gef exchanges gdp for gtp which turns it on then gap activates the gtpase which causes gtp hydrolysis than the rab gtpase is now off.

37
Q

using the example for early endosomes, how do RABs and PIPs combine to give membranes different identities - (please just look at the diagram on slide 36 bc its really detailed, but state the key components here)

A
  1. rab5-gtpase recruits PI3-kinase
  2. PI(3)P can recruit rab5-gef
  3. more rab5-gef makes more active rab5-gtp (positive feedback loop)
38
Q

how do rabs and snares work togehter in vesicle targeting and fusion

A

the rab activates that tethering protein to tether the vesicle and lets the snares do their job
