Intracellular membrane traffic of proteins and other molecules Flashcards
Through the process of Blank, the secretory
pathway delivers newly synthesized proteins,
carbohydrates, and lipids either to the plasma
membrane or the extracellular space.
exocytosis
In contrast, cells remove plasma membrane
components through endocytosis and deliver
them to internal compartments called
endosomes
The interior space, called the Blank , of each
membrane-enclosed compartment along the secretory
and endocytic pathways, is equivalent to the lumen of
most other membrane-enclosed compartments and the
cell exterior.
lumen
These containers are formed from the donor
compartment and are either small, spherical vesicles,
larger irregular vesicles, or tubules.
● All these forms of containers are called
transport vesicles
Within a eukaryotic cell, transport vesicles
continually bud off from one membrane and fuse
with another, carrying membrane components and
soluble lumenal molecules called
cargo
True or False
The secretory pathway leads outward from the
Golgi apparatus toward the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
and cell surface, with a side route leading to peroxisomes, while the endocytic pathway
leads inward from the plasma membrane.
False: endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, lysosomes
The best-characterized are Blank, which mediate transport from the plasma membrane
and the trans-Golgi network
clathrin-coated vesicles
which mediate transport between Golgi cisternae and between the ER and the Golgi apparatus, respectively.
COPI- and COPII-coated vesicles
True or False
Coats have a common two-layered structure: an outer layer formed of adaptor proteins links the inner layer (or cage) to the vesicle membrane and also traps specific cargo molecules for packaging into the vesicle.
False: inner layer, outer layer
Local synthesis of specific clathrin coat
creates binding sites that trigger phosphoinositides
assembly and vesicle budding.
False: phosphoinositides, clathrin coat
Also, monomeric Blank help regulate
various steps in vesicle transport, including
both vesicle budding and docking.
GTPases
The coat-recruitment GTPases, including Blank
and the Blank proteins, regulate coat assembly
and disassembly.
Sar1, ARF
A large family of Blank functions as
vesicle-targeting GTPases.
Rab proteins
The assembly and disassembly of Rab proteins and their effectors in specialized membrane domains are dynamically controlled by Blank and Blank
GTP binding and hydrolysis
Rab effectors recruit Active Rab proteins, such as motor proteins, which transport vesicles along actin filaments or microtubules, and filamentous tethering proteins, which help ensure that the vesicles deliver their contents only to the appropriate target membrane.
False: Active Rab proteins, Rab effectors
