Intracellular Vesicular Traffic Flashcards
What type of coated vesicles are involved in endocytosis?
Clathrin coated vesicles
Endocytosis
the taking in of matter by a living cell by invagination of its membrane to form a vacuole
What type of coated vesicle are involved in the movement of vesicles off and onto the trans Golgi?
Clathrin coated vesicles
What type of vesicles mediate movement of Vesicles between the ER and Golgi as well as between Membrane stack within the Golgi?
Non-Clathrin coated vesicles
Coatomer
complex of proteins
COPI
retrograde movement from the medial -> cisternae -> ER
COPII
mediates movement from the ER -> Golgi
Cisternae
flattened membrane disk that makes up the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus
What structure does a Clathrin molecule have?
Triskelion
What are the steps to vesicle formation using Clathrin?
Coat assembly and cargo selection, bud formation, vesicle formation, uncoating
What is used to uncoat the clathrin from vesicles?
Chaperones that act as uncoating ATPases
Dynamin
GTPase which helps pinch off vesicles from the membrane
How does Dynamin pinch off vesicles?
Dynamin polymerizes around the neck of the pit and then, binds and hydrolyzes GTP to pinch off a vesicle
What control the coat assembly?
Monomeric GTPases
ARF
GTPases for COPI and Clathrin
Sar1
GTPases for COPII
What is the Result of GTP hydrolysis of the coating of vesicles?
Coat Disassembly
syntaxin (t-SNARE)
Attached to nerve cell plasma membrane
synaptobrevin (v-SNARE)
attached to vesicle
Snap25 (t-SNARE)
SNARE protein
What does NSF do?
Dissociates SNARE proteins after the vesicle has fused to the membrane
Rab protein GTPases
direct vesicles to the right compartment
How many known Rab proteins are there?
30
BiP and clanexin
Chaperone proteins that ensure proper protein folding
