Q

describe the direct route for exocytosis of proteins in epithelial cells

A

Proteins sorted in trans golgi network (TGN) into apical or
basolateral bound vesicles.

Q

describe the indirect route for exocytosis of proteins in epithelial cells

A

All proteins exocytosed to ONE membrane (either apical or basolateral NOT BOTH)

Proteins retrieved from membrane through endocytosis and trafficked to endosome

from the endosome…

Apical proteins trafficked to apical membrane, and Basolateral proteins trafficked to basolateral membrane

Q

how can yo experimentally test to see what route is taking place within a cell

A

they grew epithelial cells in culture, expressing basolateral and apical proteins tagged with
different coloured fluorescent tags (green for apical and blue for basolateral).

Experiment: cool to 20 degrees to accumulate
proteins at the trans-Golgi network, warm
up cells to 37 degrees and use live cell imaging to ‘watch’ the proteins.

VSV-G-blue (basolateral marker protein tagged with a blue fluorophore) and greenGPI (apical marker protein tagged with a green fluorophore) were sorted into distinct vesicular carriers at the TGN.

this shows evidence for the direct pathway but some people argue that the cell is not fully polarised

Q

describe the exocyst model

A

this model is only for basolateral bound proteins

Complex of eight proteins important for plasma membrane
targeting and tethering of vesicles.

Required for polarised exocytosis in yeast.

In polarised epithelial cells localises with ZO-1 at top of lateral membrane domain.

16
Q

how could you experimentally test for the exocyst model

A

Experiment: Antibody binding to one exocyst protein prevented
correct trafficking of a basolateral protein, but not of an apical
protein

17
Q

what protein trafficking model is only for basolateral proteins

A

the exocyst model

18
Q

Which statement about protein sorting and targeting in epithelia is
CORRECT?

A. The exocyst is the site for delivery of proteins to the basolateral
membrane.

B. Experimental evidence shows that the trans-Golgi network can sort apical and basolateral proteins into separate vesicle populations.

C. In the indirect sorting pathway all proteins are first delivered to the
same membrane domain.

D. All of A, B and C are correct.

A

D

19
Q

what is the process of vesicle formation (from membrane to endosome)

A
  1. Receptors recruit adaptin and clathrin to the plasma membrane
    2a. Receptor binds ligand “weighing down” the membrane, causing an indentation/budding (receptor-mediated endocytosis)
    2b. Unspecific uptake of extracellular fluid, causing an indentation/budding (fluidphase endocytosis)
  2. Vesicle continues to bud off from the membrane
  3. Vesicle buds off from the membrane (contains endocytosed material)
  4. Clathrin-coated vesicle carriers endocytosed material away from the membrane
  5. Clathrin and adaptin dissociate from the vesicle
  6. Clathrin-coated vesicle approaches endosome. v-SNARE on vesicle connects with
    t-SNARE on the target membrane (endosomal membrane)
  7. Clathrin-coated vesicle fuses with endosome, “emptying” its contents into the endosome
20
Q

describe caveolae mediated endocytosis

A

Small lipid-raft invaginations of the
membrane

Calveolin associates with the lipid rafts to
form calveolae

Ligands bind to receptors and calveolae bud off from the membrane

Calveolae fuse with the caveosome (a type
of early endosome)

Caveosome can then fuse with other
endosomal compartments, lysosome or plasma membrane

21
Q

what is caveolae mediated endocytosis important for

A

Important in the the trafficking of cholesterol which helps maintain the fluidity of the plasma membrane

22
Q

what are known as endocytosis motifs found in plasma membrane proteins

A

Tyrosine based amino acid motifs e.g. YXXϕ, NPXY; (ϕ=a hydrophobic amino acid).

Hydrophobic amino acid motifs e.g. LL;

Monoubiquitin are known endocytosis motifs found in plasma membrane proteins

23
Q

what motifs do ENaC subunits have

A

YXXϕ (tyrosine) motifs and are monoubiquitinated

24
Q

what motifs do CFTR subunits have

A

YXXϕ (tyrosine) and LL

motifs (hydrophobic amino acids)

25
Q

what motifs do Na/K ATPase subunits have

A

YXXϕ (tyrosine) and LL

motifs (hydrophobic amino acids)

26
Q

what are endocytosis motifs bound by

A

clathrin binding addaptins

27
Q

what is the specific adaptin in

plasma membrane clathrin-coated pits

A

AP2

28
Q

what is AP2 made up of

A

it has 4 subunits

α and β adaptins (bind to clathrin to form the clathrin coated vesicle)

μ2 adaptin (binds YXXϕ (tyrosine motifs in proteins)

and σ2 subunits.

NOTE σ = sigma

therefore has 4 subunits
a, b, u, and o

29
Q

Endocytosis of transmembrane proteins occurs through interaction with the AP2 complex

BECAUSE

the transmembrane proteins contain amino acid sequences such as YXXϕ.

A

both statements are true and causal

30
Q

explain epithelia endocytosis

A

1a. Apical proteins are endocytosed to
an apical sorting endosome

1b. Basolateral proteins are endocytosed to a basolateral sorting
endosome

  1. Endocytosed material (apical and basolateral) goes to the common endosome

3a. Basolateral proteins can be
recycled back to the basolateral membrane

3b. Apical proteins are, believed, to recycle back to the apical membrane via an apical recycling endosome

31
Q

what is the difference between basolateral and apical endocytosis and recycling

A

apical go from the common endosome to an apical recycling endosome before they get inserted back into the apical membrane

basolateral go from the common endosome straight back into the basolateral membrane

32
Q

describe endocytosis and recycling/degradation of apical ENaC

A

ENaC is ubiquitinated and
endocytosed

Trafficked through apical sorting endosome to the
common endosome

if ubiquitin is removed ENaC is recycled back to apical membrane

if ubiquitin remains
ENaC is trafficked to late endosome and onto the lysosome for degradation

33
Q

explain endocytosis and recycling or degradation of the basolateral transferrin receptor (TfR)

A
  1. Once ligand-bound transferrin is endocytosed to basolateral sorting membrane
  2. Trafficked on to common endosome
  3. TfR is either recycled back to basolateral membrane or trafficked through the late endosome to the lysosome for degradation
34
Q

what is transcytosis

A

Endocytosed from the basolateral membrane and the transytosed to the apical membrane

or vice versa

35
Q

explain how the immunoglobulin A receptor - IgAR is transcytosed

A

IgAR endocytosed from basolateral membrane and, trafficked to basolateral sorting endosome

it is then trafficked on to apical recycling endosome through common endosome

IgAR exocytosed to apical membrane

36
Q

what are the 3 types of endocytosis

A
  1. Receptor mediated endocytosis
    1. Fluid phase endocytosis
    2. Caveolae mediated endocytosis
