8.11-8.17 Flashcards
(64 cards)
the Rab/Ypt family are ___________________
monomeric GTPases
GDP-bound form of Rab is where?
cytosolic
GTP-bound form of Rab
IMP with C-terminal anchor of 2 phenyl (geranylgeranyl) chains
Rab-GDP exists in the cytosol complexed with what?
GDI (guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor)
what happens when Rab-GDP associated with GDI
phenyl group sequestered, Rab prevented from being IMP
what happens when Rab gets to proper donor membrane
GDI is released, membrane-bound Rab-GEF helps it exchange GDP for GTP, Rab-GTP gets incorporated into membrane of budding vesicle
function of Rab-GTP
works with tethers to target vesicle to acceptor membrane
Rab-GAP
helps Rab hydrolyze GTP to GDP
what happens after Rab-GAP works
GDI extracts Rab-GDP and recycles it to cytosol
Rab effectors
various tethers/fibrous coiled coil proteins that bound-Rab-GTP binds to
what is docking mediated by
SNARE proteins
true or false: SNAREs are specific
true
structure of SNARES
IMPS: t-IMP or acyl/prenyl-anchored IMP
how are SNARE pairs formed
N-terminal cytoplasmic domains form coiled-coils with cognate SNAREs
interaction of SNAREs in SNARE pair
single v-SNARE helix with three t-SNARE helices (one heavy, two light chains)
what is unraveling of SNARE pairs catalyzed by
NSF (cytosolic ATPase - forms a barrel)
how does NSF bind indirectly to SNAREs
through SNAPS - soluble NSF attachment proteins
triskelion
3-legged structure form by clathrin coat structures
what does each leg consist of in triskelion
one heavy and one light chain of clathrin
what kind of lattices to clathrin cages contain?
hexagonal and pentagonal
each side of hexagon or pentagon consists of what?
4 legs of different triskelions
hexagonal lattices are ______
flat
pentagonal lattices are _______
curved
what do adaptor complexes attach
clathrin to membrane
