2.8 Intracellular Vesicular Trafficking 1 Flashcards
What are the 3 pathways for vasicular transport?
Secretion (from ER to cell membrane). Endocytosis. Retrieval/Recycling (cell membrane to ER).
What is the lipid anatomy?
Sugars,Phosphate, glycerol, and fatty acid tails.
What does the lipid composition of membranes help to do?
Determine organelle identity, define membrane curvature, selectively recruit trafficking-related proteins.
What are Rab proteins.
Monomeric GTPases
What do Rab proteins do?
Their regulation controls the progression of vesicular transport
What are the two forms of Rab?
Rab-GTP active and membrane bound. Rab-GDP inactive in cytosol.
What does Rab-GTP do?
Serve as scaffolds as connectors to catch and release other proteins (effector proteins) that catalyze or stimulate the processes as we move along
Why does Rab-GTP turn to Rab-GDP?
In order to be recycled.
What does GDI do?
Keeps Rab-GDP from interacting with membrane and keep it in the GDP formation until its back home.
Assembly of a protein coat on the cytosolic side of teh donor compartment membrane does what?
Shapes the budding vesicle and concentrates the cargo.
What are the 3 coats?
COPII, COPI, and Clathrin
COPII coats vesicles that move cargo from
ER to Golgi (anterograde)
COPI coats vesicles that move cargo from
Golgi to ER (retrograde)
Clathrin coats vesicles that move cargo from
golgi to endosomes or inward from cell membrane
Cant the NPC squeeze in a vesicle?
No
What is a good example of gene duplication?
Coat proteins similar features that have diversified.
