INTRACELLULAR TRAFICKING Flashcards
ENDOCYTOSIS
– Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (receptor-dependent)adaptin
– Potocytosis (receptor-dependent in caveolae)
– Macropinocytosis
– Phagocytosis
• exocytosis
– constitutive
– regulated (Ca2+ triggered)
Formation of vesicle
Initiation, invagination, constriction, fission, uncoating
From ER–> golgi
COP II by help of Sar1 (GTP binding protein)
From golgi–>er/ PM
COP I by help of ARF (GTP binding protein)
Rab
control most steps of vesicle transport
Recognition of the target membrane through
SNARE
v-snare and t-snare
v=vesicle t=target membrane
Actin
• Globular proteins (α,β,γ types)
• polarized polymerization (pointed and barbed ends)
• function: (moving organelles, cellular motion
cell adhesion structures, maintenance of cell volume
Intermediate filaments
No polarity No motor proteins associated High tensile strength Resistant to compression, twisting and bending forces Heterogeneous
Microtubules
• polymers of tubulin subunits
• alpha and beta-tubulins
• polarized polymerization (- and + ends)
• tube formed by 13 polymers (23 nm diameter)
• negative end at the microtubule organizing center
(MTOC): centriole or basal body
• function: organelle movements, mitotic spindle,
cilia and flagella
Colchicine
“mitotic poison” or spindle poison
binds to tubulin and inhibits
microtubule polymerization
Motor proteins associated to microtubules:
dyneins and kinesins
Translocation complex in mitochondria
TOM and TIM
NLS
Nucleas localization signal that interact with importins and ran
Ran GAP
RAN + GTP–>RAN GDP with help of Ran GAP
RAN GEP
Ran GDP–> ran takes away Gdp from RAN in nucleus
SRP
signal recognition particle at N-terminus of poly Pwhich interact with SRP-receptor and GTP gets hydrolyzed
