Endomembranes I: Moving Proteins and Membranes in the Secretory Pathway Flashcards
Principles of vesicle trafficking
1) Cargo selection
2) Vesicle budding from one compartment
3) Transport
4) Fusion with a second compartment
Studies that used ___ established understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in vesicle trafficking.
biochemical, subcellular fractionation, and genetic approaches
Protein transport through the secretory pathway can be visualized by ____.
fluorescence microscopy of cells producing a GFP-membrane fusion protein (fluorescent molecule movement tracked over time)
Transport of a membrane glycoprotein (VSVG) can be assayed by ____.
Sensitivity to endoglycosidase D
Transport of ___ can be assayed by sensitivity to endoglycosidase D.
a membrane glycoprotein (VSVG)
Yeast Sec mutant mutation experiment lead to what discovery?
How did it work?
Tracking of the secreted protein invertase in S. cerevisiae, and identification of ts mutants with defects at various steps, led to the discovery of numerous players in vesicle trafficking.
Conditional or temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants secrete invertase at permissive, lower temperature but accumulate proteins in the cell at restrictive or high temp.
Yeast sec mutants
Class, defect, and fate of protein
Class A:
Fate of proteins (FoP): Accumulation in the cytosol, Defect (D): transport into the ER
Class B:
FoP: Accumulation in rough ER, D: Budding of vesicles from the rough ER
Class C:
FoP: Accumulation in ER-to-Golgi transport vesicles, D: Fusion of transport vesicles with golgi
Class D:
FoP: Accumulation in Golgi, D: Transport from Golgi to secretory vesicles
Class E:
FoP: Accumulation in secretory vesicles, D: Transport from secretory vesicles to cell surface
In normal mammalian cells, VSVG is modified in the Golgi by ____.
an GlcNAc transferase
In normal mammalian cells, ____ is modified in the Golgi by GlcNAc transferase.
VSVG
How does a cell-free assay work?
Isolated Golgi stacks from uninfected wild-type and infected mutant cell lines are combined in the test tube, then VSVG is glycosylated.
It showed intercompartmental transport.
Assumes that vesicles transport cargo (VSVG) or enzymes between golgi.
From what I understand, when the mutant cell was incubated with the wild type cell, the N-Acetylglucosamine was added to the protein of interest. When the cells were separate, N-acetylglucosamine was not added to the protein of interest.
The addition of N-acetylglucosamine requires ___.
Transport vesicles, cytosol, and ATP and GTP
