Unit 4: ER to Golgi Flashcards
ERES
ER exit sites
- distinct subdomain of the ER
- located next to cis face of Golgi complex
ERES is enriched with molecular machinery responsible for ____
- formation of budding of membrane bound vesicles destined for Golgi
- proper packaging of vesicles with the correct lumenal and membrane cargo proteins destined for Golgi
Do resident ER proteins enter the Golgi destined transport vesicles?
- prevented from entering Golgi-destined transport
What are the three major classes of coat proteins?
- COPII (anterograde) ER to Golgi
- COPI (retrograde) Golgi to ER
- Clathrin (from Golgi or PM to endosomes)
Where do COPII-coated vesicle assemble?
ERES
Transport Vesicle Assembly at the ERES:
Step One
- soluble COPII component Sar1-GDP (Sar1 = Gprotein) recruited from cytosolic surface of the ERES
- Sar1-GDP binds a guanine-exchange factor, which generates Sar1-GTP
What is GEF?
Guanine Exchange factor
- ER integral membrane protein that catalyzes the exhange of GDP for GTP on Sar1
Transport Vesicle Assembly at the ERES:
Step Two
- Sar-1-GTP integrates into the ER outer leaflet at ERES
- Results in membrane curvature of the ERES membrane
Transport Vesicle Assembly at the ERES:
Step Three
- Sar1-GTP recruits other soluble COPII components
- from cytosol to surface of ERES membrane
- Sec23 and Sec24
…
Transport Vesicle Assembly at the ERES:
Step Three
What happens to Sec 23 and Sec 24
- form a dimer to promote further bending ERES membrane
Transport Vesicle Assembly at the ERES:
Step Three
What does Sec24 do?
- Sec24 also binds to cytosolic-facing domains of selected integral membrane including
- membrane cargo proteins
- membrane cargo receptors proteins
- membrane receptor proteins required for trafficking and docking
Transport Vesicle Assembly at the ERES:
Step Four
- additional soluble COPII components recruited to cytosol to surface of growing coated vesicle ‘bud’
Transport Vesicle Assembly at the ERES:
Step Five
What happens after COPII coat assembly?
- vesicle bud pinches off from ERES and vesicle begins to traffic to proper recipient membrane
Transport Vesicle Assembly at the ERES:
Step Five
What happen prior to vesicle fusion with the Golgi?
- COPII coat disassemble
- SarI-GTP is converted back to Sar1- GDP
- and released along with all of the other COPII proteins
- into the cytosol for another round of COPII coat assembly at ERES
What is a Rab protein?
- large family of lipid-anchored membrane proteins
- located on all transport vesicles and recipient membranes
- vesicle targeting specificity and unique rabs to different membranes
What does the association of the Rab protein with a membrane require?
GTP
