Q

discuss assembly and disassembly of clathrin coat

A

assembly of coat thought to induce curvature into membrane, which leads to formation uniformly sized coated buds

  1. adaptins bind both clathrin triskelions adn membrane bound cargo receptors, thereby mediating the selective recruitment of both membrane and cargo molecules into the vesicle
  2. ARF GTPase initiastes assembly
  3. dynamin pinches off vesicle
  4. ARF switching and Hsc70 ATP hydrolysis triggers uncoating of vlathrin

AP1
28
which adaptor proteins are involved in movement from PM to endosomes

TGN to PM
31
what movement is mediated by AP1
TGN to lysosome
32
what movement is mediated by AP2
PM to endosome
33
discuss retrograde trafficking via COPI
from Golgi back to ER coat formed from 7pps 1.ARF-GDP complex binds receptor on Golgi membrane 2.ARF activation by GEF, which phosphorylates GDP to GTP so complex gives ARF-GTP 3.ARF mediated recruiment of preassembled COP1 coat 4.Cargo sorting motif recognition by COPI
34
what are ARF proteins
coat recruitment proteins-used in COPI and clathrin coatin assembly @ Golgi membranes Sar1 is used instead for COP2
35
what are common themes in how vesicles bud
1. GTPase initiates assembly 2. GTP hydrolysis triggers disassembly 3. Selection of cargo by accessory proteins 4. Coat that accommodates diverse cargo
36
how many pps make up a COP1 coat (coatamer)
7
37
what is Arf1 similar to from COP2 system
Arf1 from COP1 is similar to Sar1 from COP2 sytem
38
in COP1 retrograde trafficking, what is GEF similar to
GEF in COPI is similar to Sec12 from COP2
39
hwere are coat recruitment GTPases usually found
in high concns in the cytosol, in an inactive GDP bound state
40
discuss budding of vesicles from the ER via COPII
1, inactive soluble Sar1-GDP binds GEF(Sec12) in Er membrane, so Sar1 releases GDP and binds GTP 2. GTP triggered conformatoinal change in Sar1 exposes its hydrophobic tail, which inserts into the ER membrane 3. membrane bound, active Sar1-GTP recruits COP2 subunits to the membrane 4. causes membrane to bud - then pinches off into vesicle
41
what are the 3 components of COP2 trafficking
inner coat - Sec23/24 Outer Coat - Sec13/31 GTP-binding protein Sar1
42
what are the roles of COP2 trafficking
cargo sorting shapes membrane associates with GTPase switch so that assembly is reversilble
43
when is vesicle formation of COP2 triggered
when Sec12(GEF) exchanges Sar-1GDP for GTP
44
main steps for COP2
budding -> GTP hydrolysis by GEF - > uncoating | vesicle formation is triggered when Sec12 (GEF) exchanges Sar-1 GDP for GTP
45
what does Sar1(GTP) binding trigger
triggers Sec23/24 assembly
46
what is Sec24 responsible for
cargo recognition (DXE)
47
what does Sec23 do
bind Sar1
48
how many Sec13/31 heterodimers form an cuboctohedron
24 - flexible enough to transport large cargos, rigid enough to impact curvature on the membrane
49
why does vesicle fusion need to be highly selective
specific cos very diverse membranes
50
what is recognition of vesicles controlled by
SNAREs | Rabs
51
what are SNAREs
``` soluble NSF (N-ethyl-maleimide-sensitive fusion protein) Attachment Protein Receptor centrol role in providing specificity and catalysing fusion ```
52
what are Rabs
proteins that work with other proteins to regulate initial docking and tethering of vesicle to target membrane
53
what proteins help docking to Target membrane
Rabs
54
what proteins ensure specificity and catalysis of vesicles to membranes
SNAREs
55
how many different SNAREs in mammalian cells - why?
30 | diversity confers specificity
56
what two categories of snare are there
v-SNARE: 3 helix bundle in transport vesicles made of synaptobrevin - comes from Vesicular t-SNARE: comes from Target membrane, synTaxin
57
give an example of t-SNARE
Snap25 - 2 alpha helixes
58
what is synaptobrevin aka
VAMP
59
outline trans snare complexes
laways consist of 4 tightly intertwined multiple chaines
60
what haappens when v-SNARE interacts with t-SNARE
the helical domains of one wrap around the helical domains of another to form TRANS SNARE complexes - lock the 2 membranes together by exerting an inward force
61
what are SM proteins
they direct fusion: Sec1/Munc18 - like proteins | shaped like clasps
62
what are SM proteins bound with trans-SNARE called
SNAREpins complexes
63
give an example of a SM protein
Rab GTPase
64
outline vesicle fusion process
a tight SNARE pairing forces lipid bilayers into close apposition so that water molecules are expelled from the interface lipids of the two interacting leaflets of the bilayers then flow between the membranes to form a connecting stalk lipids of the other two leaflets then contact eachother forming a new bilayer which wides the fusion zone causing a hemifusion rupture of the new bilayer completes the fusion reaction
65
what is a core complex made of
snap25&syntaxin (t-SNARE) and synaptobrevin (v-SNARE)
66
what are the requirements for vesicle fusion
SNAREs alone can fuse vesicles just not v fast | not physiological condns cant mix and match
67
how can SNAREs be recycled
requires energy - ATP hydrolysis | NSF and alpha SNAP proteins essential
