Lecture 10 and 11 Flashcards
What does vesicle trafficking mediate?
Constant flow of proteins throughout the cell
What goes through the retrieval pathway?
Retrograde trafficking
- Golgi –> ER
- Late endosome –> Golgi
- Early endosome –> Golgi
- Secretory vesicles –> Golgi
- Early endosome –> Cell exterior
What goes through the endocytic pathway?
- Cell Exterior –> Early Endosome
- Early Endosome –> Late Endosome
- Late Endosome –> Lysosome
What goes through the biosynthetic/secretory pathway?
- ER –> Golgi
- Golgi –> Late Endosome
- Golgi –> Early Endosome
- Golgi –> Cell Exterior
- Golgi –> Secretory Vesicles
- Late Endosome –> Lysosome
- Secretory Vesicles –> Cell Exterior
What does the golgi apparatus/complex consist of?
Specific orientation of flattened stacked membrane compartments (cisternae; 4 to 6 cisternae per stack) that “mature” over time
What is the golgi apparatus/complex divided into?
- Cis-face: Entry face at beginning of golgi (near ER)
- Medial: Sandwiched by cis and trans cisternae
- Trans-face: Exit face just prior to leaving golgi
How do proteins enter the golgi apparatus/complex?
Through the cis golgi network (CGN)
How do proteins exit the golgi apparatus/complex?
Through the trans golgi network (TGN)
Where are proteins post-translationally modified in the golgi?
In various sub-compartments
What are the two models for golgi maturation?
Vesicle transport and cisternal maturation
What is involved in the vesicle transport model?
- Golgi is static and enzymes remain in each location
- Vesicles fuse and leave the structures in sequence
What is involved in the cisternal maturation model?
- Golgi structure is dynamic and entire cisternae move
- Cis-cisternae eventually become mid-cisternae and then trans-cisternae
Why do we need retrograde flow back into cis-cisternae?
Because processing enzymes have to make their way back to where they started
What are coat proteins?
Proteins which “coat” or cover the vesicle
What types of coat proteins are there?
- Clathrin
- Coat protein I (COPI)
- Coat protein II (COPII)
What does the presence of a particular coat protein depend on?
Where the vesicles originate from
Where does clathrin originate from?
Transport vesicles from plasma membrane and between endosomal and golgi compartments
Where does COP I originate from?
Bud off from Golgi
