Q

Transport Vesicle Assembly at the ERES:

Step One

A
  • 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

Q

Transport Vesicle Assembly at the ERES:
Step Five
What happen prior to vesicle fusion with the Golgi?

A
  • COPII coat disassemble
  • SarI-GTP is converted back to Sar1- GDP

Q

Vesicle targeting and fusion at CGN

Step 1

A

Recognition of the incoming vesicle and recipient membranes

18
Q

Vesicle targeting and fusion at CGN

Step 2

A

Tethering of the incoming vesicle to recipient membrane

19
Q

What do GTP-Rabs do?

A
  • complementary membrane bound
  • recruit various recipient factors
  • act like tethering proteins
  • from cytosol to surface of the vesicle and recipient membranes
20
Q

What are tethering proteins?

A
  • highly elongated (fiber-like, rod-shaped)proteins

- or components of large multi-protein complexes

21
Q

What do tethering proteins do?

A
  • form a molecular bridge

- mediate vesicle membrane-recipient membrane contact by bringing the two membranes close together

22
Q

What is step 3 of vesicle targetting and fusion at CGN?

A

docking of the vesicle at recipient membranes

23
Q

What mediates the 3rd step of vesicle targetting?

A
  • SNARE proteins help docking
24
Q

What are SNARE proteins?

A
  • large family of integral membrane-bound proteins located on all transport vesicles AND all recipient membranes
  • specificity (unique vesicle targeting)
25
Q

What is a SNARE motif?

A
  • all SNARE proteins have a SNARE motif
  • cytosolic facing domain that extends from membrane surface
  • SNARE-SNARE protein binding
26
Q

2 main classes of SNARE proteins

A

v snares

t snares

27
Q

Explain v-SNARES

A
  • vesicle membranes
  • incorporated into vesicle membrane at site of budding on donor comparment
  • i.e. at ERES vSNARE incorporated into golgi-destined VESICLE MEMBRANE
28
Q

What are t-SNARES

A
  • target acceptor membranes

- i.e. at the cis Golgi

29
Q

What is the SNARE complex? What mediates it?

A

v-snare + t=SNARE

- cytosolic facing SNARE motif mediates

30
Q

What is step four of vesicle targeting fusion at CGN?

A

fusion of vesicle and acceptor membranes

31
Q

What does the SNARE complex do? (4th step of vesicle targeting and fusion)

A
  • pulls opposing vesicle and recipient membranes together = fusion
32
Q

What does the vesicle-recipient membrane fusion result in?

A
  1. Lateral movement of vesicle membrane proteins (cargo and receptors) into recipient membrane
  2. Release of vesicle soluble ‘cargo’ proteins into the interior lumen of the acceptor organelle
33
Q

What is the fate of vesicle specific proteins or proteins that escape from the ER?

A

returned from the CGN to the ER by specific ER retrieval signals via retrograde transport

34

What is the direction of retrograde transport?

A
