Lect. 13 - Intracell Vesicular traffic Flashcards
What 2 major functions does the coat perform?
concentrates select proteins in a specialized patch for transport; molds the vesicle to form basketlike lattice that deforms the membrane and gives shape to the vesicle
make up of clatherin subunit
3 large and 3 small polypeptide chains that form a 3-legged structure called triskelion
triskelion
assemble into a basket-like structure of hexagons and pentagons that form coated pits on the cytosolic side of membrane
adaptor proteins on clatherin coated vesicles
form a second layer under the clatherin and trap various transmembrane proteins including receptors for soluble cargo
assembly of clathrin coat
introduces a curvature in the membrane which leads to the formation of coated buds
PI (phosphoinositides) role
can undergo rapid cycles of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation at the 3’, 4’, and 5’ positions; they control recruitment and binding of proteins to specific organelles/domains and regulate vesicle trafficking
what part of the PIs are recognized by proteins?
headgroups
dynamin
protein that assembles a ring around the clatherin bud; contains a PIP2 binding domain and GTPase domain
PIP2 binding domain on dynamin
tethers the protein to membrane
GTPase domain on dynamin
regulates rate of vesicle pinching
pinching
brings the 2 cytosolic sides of the membrane together and allows them to fuse
aside from forming a ring around the clathrin vesicle, what does the dynamin do?
recruits other proteins that distort the lipid bilayer (ex. lipid modifying enzymes)
what chaperone is uses ATP to peel off the clathrin coat?
Hsp 70
Rab proteins
monomeric G protein that direct vesicle to specific spots on the target membrane
SNARE proteins
mediate fusion of vesicle w/ membrane
how is specificity in targeting of vesicles achieved?
by surface markers on vesicles and complementary receptors on target membrane
what regulated the activity of Rab?
GTP hydrolysis
