Vesicular Transport Flashcards
The release of soluble proteins
secretion
adding materials to the cell surface and extracellular space
exocytosis
subtracted materials to the cell surface and extracellular space
endocytosis
Explain Cargo selection
coat proteins (COPI, COPII) bind to the signal sequences on the tails of cystolic proteins and they group into donor compartments
Explain budding
Adaptor proteins make a mesh-like lining around the group, the bundled proteins change shape and bulge in
Explain scission and uncoating
Scission proteins tighten the neck until the vesicle buds off. Uncoating unbundles the donor compartment.
Explain Transport and Tethering
Vesicles are transported via microtubule or actin filaments. Then Rab proteins on the vesicles bind to tether proteins on the acceptor membrane and “search” for the correct acceptor compartment.
Explain Docking, Fusion, and Disassembly
v-SNAREs bind to t-SNARES, fusion to the acceptor compartment occurs. NSF and SNAP disassemble the SNARES
Traffic cop for the Cell
Golgi
cis/trans face
cis faces nucleus/trans away from
CGN
cis-Golgi network, the largest cisternae
Explain bulk transport
Carrying non specific cargo, happens frequently in ER to Golgi transport
ER retention signal
marker for ER proteins that need to be returned from the golgi
Golgis coat proteins?
COPII from ER, COPI within the Golgi
Explain the bilayer thickness model
proteins with short transmembrane domains go to the Cis, medium length domains to middle cisternae, and longer domains to the trans-cisternae
