Receptor Mediated Endocytosis

? The major mechanism of vesicular transport between ER

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

and Golgi.

? Takes place in the regions of the membranes known as

coated pits

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? The coated pits has high concentration of protein

clarthrin and this mechanism of receptor mediated
endocytosis is the clarthin coated vesicle method

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? However there is another method in which the receptor

mediated endocytosis takes place without the clarthin
coated vesicles

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? The SNARE proteins helps in the later type of the

receptor
Some Types of Vesicles and Their Functions

Vesicle

Function

COPI

Involved in intra-GA transport and

retrograde transport from the GA to the

ER

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

COPII

Involved in export from the ER to either

ERGIC or the GA

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Clathrin

Involved in transport in post-GA locations

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

including the PM, TGN and endosomes

Secretory vesicles

Involved in regulated secretion from

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


organs such as the pancreas (eg, secretion

of insulin)

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Vesicles from the TGN

They carry proteins to the PM and are also

to the PM

involved in constitutive secretion

Steps in a round of anterograde transport

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


involving COPII vesicles

? Step 1: Sar1 is activated when GDP exchanged for

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

GTP and it becomes embedded in the ER membrane
to form a focal point for bud formation.

? Step 2: Coat proteins bind to Sar1?GTP and cargo

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

proteins become enclosed inside the vesicles.


? Step 3: The bud pinches off, formatting a complete

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

coated vesicle. Vesicles move through cells along
microtubules or actin filaments.
? Step 4: The vesicle is


--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


uncoated when bound GTP is

hydrolyzed to GDP by Sar1.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Step 5: Rab molecules are attached to vesicles after

switching of Rab.GDP to Rab.GTP, a specific GEF
.Rab effector proteins on target membranes bind to
Rab?GTP, tethering the vesicles to the target

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

membrane.

? Step 6: v-SNAREs pair with cognate t-SNAREs in

the target membrane to form a four helix bundle

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

which docks the vesicles and initiates fusion.


? Step 7: When the v- and t-SNARES are closely

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

aligned, the vesicle fuses with the membrane and the
contents are released.

GTP is then hydrolyzed to GDP, and the Rab?GDP

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

molecules are released into the cytosol.

An ATPase (NSF) and -SNAP dissociate the four-

helix bundle between the v- and t-SNARES so that

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

they can be reused.

? Step 8: Rab and SNARE proteins are recycled for

further rounds of vesicle fusion

? This occurs while the protein

is still in the cis Golgi
network.
The M-6-P pathway

? In the trans-Golgi network, the phosphorylated

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


enzymes bind to M6-P receptors .

? Which direct the enzymes into vesicles coated with

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

the fibrous protein clathrin.

? The clathrin lattices is rapidly depolymerized to its

subunits, and the uncoated transport vesicles fuse

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

with late endosomes.

? Within this low pH compartment, the phosphorylated

enzymes dissociate from the M6P receptors and then

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

are de-phosphorylated.
