Term
Intercellular trafficing
Definition
Transport of molecules from one location inside the cell to another
Term
Intercellular trafficing also known as
Definition
vesicular trafficking - vesicles move cargo from one place to another
Term
Endocytic pathway
Definition
Internalization of molecules from outside the cell
Transport to “appropriate” destination
Normal pathway - early endosome to late endosome to lysosome
Decreasing pH along the pathway is important for protein-protein interactions and enzyme functions
Term
Exocytic pathway
Definition
Transport of molecules made inside the cell to the plasma membrane or elsewhere in cell
ER-GOLGI-PM
ER-GOLGI-EE-LE
Term
Vesicular transport
Definition
- like delivering mail
Term
Coat proteins
Definition
FEDEX Pak - helps collect materials
Term
Rab proteins and tethers
Definition
FEDEX truck or plane
Term
SNARE proteins
Definition
Placing the package in your hand
Term
Three steps to vesicular transport
Definition
vesicle budding - involved coats
vesicle transport, tethering & docking - rabs
vesicle fusion - SNARES
Term
Donor membrane---> acceptor membrane
Definition
Donor compartment budding, receptor, vesicle, recipient compartment fusions
Term
Targeting and transport
Definition
- Rabs, tethers, motors and microtubules
Term
Fusion -
Definition
SNARES
Term
Budding -
Definition
Coat proteins
Term
Clathrin
Definition
Made of 3 large polypeptides and 3 small polypeptides chains
Triskelion
Protein Self-assembles
Term
Clathrin underside of pm
Definition
Forms into basketlike structure called a coated pit
Causes curvature and concentrates cargo
Term
Other proteins play roles in making clathrin-coated vesicles
Definition
adaptin binds to clathrin and to membrane
adaptin also binds to transmembrane proteins - helps to get transmembrane proteins into coated pits (Concentrates cargo)
important for packaging of cargo
Different adaptins used in different transport steps (AP1, AP2 and AP3)
Term
Three main coat proteins
Definition
Clathrin (primarily at plasma membrane and some in GOLGI)
COPI coat - ERGIC and GOLGI
COPII coat - ER to ERGIC
Term
Functions of three main coat proteins
Definition
formation of vesicle, causes curvature
concentrate cargo
Term
Formation of coat vesticles
Definition
Coat assembly and cargo selection, bud formation, vesicle formation, uncoating.
Term

Definition
Coat formation
Term

Definition
Clatherin in PM
Term
Dynamin- GTPase
Definition
Dynamin subunits, Clathrin lattice, Dynamin ring, GTP hydrolysis or GTPyS. The GTPase is the last important player in vesicle budding from pm.
Term
GTPase
Definition
Class of proteins
Utilize binding of GTP/GDP - changes in conformation
Binding to GTP turns “on”
Hydrolysis of GTP to GDP turns “off”
Term
Clathrin coat
Definition
- function from the plasma membrane into cell and from TGN out to other locations
Term
Vesicles bud from the ER and go to the ERGIC
Definition
ERGIC - ER GOLGI Intermediate Comparment
Term
Another name for the ergic can also be called VTC
Definition
which stands for Vesicular Tubular Cluster!
Term
From ERGIC
Definition
vesicles bud and go to cisGOLGI
Term
Macromolecular complex

Budding
Definition
of Sar1;Sec13/31;Sec23/24 make up the COPII coat


from ER to ERGIC
Term
COPI
Definition
Anterograde transport from ERGIC to cis GOLGI ? Not right
Retrograde transport from TGN back to CGN
CGN back to ERGIC and ER
Term
Uncoating
Definition
happens very quickly after budding
requires ATP
in order to have the vesicle fuse with the next membrane compartment, coats are removed
Term
GTPases
Definition
Small GTPases
GTP-bound and GDP-bound forms
Molecular switches
Provide spatial and temporal control of transport
Term
[image]
Definition
GTPase cycle
Term
GTPase regulatory proteins GAP
Definition
GAP - GTPase activating protein (cleaves phosphate and releases inorganic phosphate leaving the GTPase in GDP-bound form)
Term
GTPase regulatory proteins GEF
Definition
GEF - guanine nucleotide exchange factor (releases GDP) from GTPase allowing GTP to bind
Term
[GTP]>>>>>[GDP]
Definition
in cytosol
Switch between GTP and GDP provides temporal specificity
Term
Conformational change
Definition
alters structure and function of GTPases
Term
Changes in switch regions I and II
Definition
change the binding of GTPase to effector proteins
Term
Tethering molecules -
Definition
“loose” interactions
Term
[image]
Definition
tethering molecules image
Term
Rab Proteins
Definition
C-terminal end of the protein has a lipid modification
Insertion into membrane dependent on nucleotide binding state
GDP bound form has the lipid tucked into the protein
GTP bound form has the lipid exposed so that it can insert in the membrane
Term
Rab GTPases provide
Definition
spatial control for intracellular trafficking
Term
Specific Rabs function

Over 60 Rabs have been identified in
Definition
at specific locations in the cell, the human genome
Term
Functions of Rab proteins basics
Definition
Molecular switch provides specificity for recruitment of effector proteins - tethering molecules (temporal)
Different Rabs recruit different tethering molecules
Term
Function of rab proteins
Definition
Switch also changes from cytosolic to membrane-bound localization - lipid modification (spatial)
Provide spatial specificity by localization to particular intracellular membranes
Term
Snare Proteins
Definition
Coiled-coil proteins
Bind in a 1:3 ratio of coils
v-SNARE and t-SNARE
R-SNARE and Q-SNARE
Term
SNARE promiscuity -
Definition
bind with many different SNARES in vitro
however, spatial restrictions in vivo (where each SNARE resides) provides specificity
Term
Mechanism of snare fusion
Definition
Binding of coiled coils
Zippering
Fusion
Term
Distinct membranes contain
Definition
V and t-snares
Term
Formation of specific trans-snare complexes lead to
Definition
Close apposition of membranes
Dehydration of apposed leaflets
Perturbation of lipid structures in the membranes
Term
Final set in fusion-
Definition
to Reset the complex
√ must dissociate the cis-SNARE complex for additional rounds of fusion
√ requires several proteins and energy (N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor (NSF) and ATP)
Term
