Chapter 13: Intracellular Membrane Traffic Flashcards
What important concept is maintained during intracellular membrane trafficking?
topological equivalence
What are the 3 types of intracellular membrane trafficking pathways?
- endocytic
- biosynthetic-secretory
- retrieval
What pathway involves absorbing extracellular material into the cell?
endocytic pathway
what pathway involves the transfer of material from the nuclear envelope/ER to the Golgi, vesicles, or outside of the cell?
Biosynthetic-secretory pathway
what pathway involves the transfer of cell material from other pathways back to the ER?
retrieval pathway
The endocytic pathway utilizes what protein to aid in intracellular transport?
clathrin
Retrograde transport utilizes what protein to aid in intracellular transport?
COP1
The synthesis and secretory transport utilize what protein to aid in intracellular transport?
COP2 (+clathrin)
Cholesterol receptor-mediated endocytosis is typically regulated by what protein/transport type?
Clathrin; endocytic pathway
In what scenario would a cell use COP1 proteins for intracellular membrane transport?
To return proteins that have been mistakenly transported to certain organelles; retrieval/retrograde pathway
COP2 proteins are found in what portion of the cell? What is their function?
ER; transport to topologically equivalent spaces
What are the 4 basic steps of clathrin-based vesicle formation?
- coat assembly and cargo selection
- bud formation
- vesicle formation
- uncoating
This particular protein attaches to cargo receptors to allow for the association of the clathrin triskeleton
adaptor protein
these proteins aid in the vesicular formation of a clathrin-coated membrane
membrane-bending and fissure proteins
On what side of the membrane does the clathrin triskeleton bind to?
cytosolic
What phenomenon induces the budding and fission of a clathrin-coated vesicle?
clathrin triskeleton bending
This is a vesicular formation/fission protein that has contractile function driven by GTP
dynamin helix
What are the three steps of directed traffic endocytosis?
- tethering of vesicle via Rab-GTP
- docking on membrane via t-snare/v-snare interaction
- Fusion of vesicle into cell (and release of Rab-GTP)
