What is Bip?
|
An ER resident protein. A type of chaperone that folds extracellular domains of transmembrane proteins
|
|
What is Anti-Bip?
|
An antibody that binds to bip
|
|
What was the experiment that showed where Bip was found in cell?
|
Conjugated gold to Anti-Bip, then could see it in ER, vesicles going to cis golgi, a little in cis+med golgi, none in trans golgi.
|
|
What is a retension signal?
|
Signals to protein, don't leave!
|
|
What is a retrieval signal?
|
Signals to protein, come back!
|
|
What is the nature of the ER signal to keep it's proteins? How do we know?
|
Retrieval. Otherwise we wouldn't see it in the golgi at all (it would all stay in ER, or get secreted if it somehow accidentally escaped)
|
|
What happens if Bip is way over expressed in the cell? (as an experiment)
|
Bip gets released. It can overwhelm the retrieval signal.
|
|
What is the ER retrieval signal?
|
Just four amino acids at end of C terminus of every ER resident protein: (N terminus)---------KDEL (C terminus)
|
|
What does the KDEL receptor look like?
|
N terminus: (KDEL binding, inside ER lumen) --------[hydrophobic transmembrane domain]------KKXX (COPI binding, cytoplasm) : C terminus
|
|
How does ER retrieval work?
|
KDEL receptor only binds to ---KDEL sequence when in golgi! Then the --KKXX on the cytoplasm side recruits COPI, and retrograde transfers back to ER
|
|
What do vesicle "coats" do?
|
1. Help pinch off a vesicle, 2. Help direct vesicles to target
|
|
Which coat protein mediates retrograde traffic?
|
COPI
|
|
Which coat protein mediates anterograde traffic?
|
COPII
|
|
Which coat protein targets the lysosomal pathway?
|
Clathrin
|
|
What are the two models of golgi function? What do you expect to see on/in side vesicles? Which has the most supporting evidence?
|
1. **Cisternal maturation/progression model**: Like an escalator. Vesicles move backward, coated in COPI, contain golgi enzymes. 2. Stationary cisternae model: Like a staircase. Vesicles move forward, coated in COPII, contain secretory proteins. (cisternal maturation is best model)
|
|
What does clathrin look like?
|
3 heavy chains, 3 light chains, spontaneously forms multimers (pentagons and hexagons)
|
|
What does clathrin do?
|
1. Associates with the cellular membrane to drive vesicle budding. 2. Targets vesicles to the endosome which become the lysosome.
|
|
Where is clathrin found?
|
at the plasma membrane, at the gogli nework
|
|
Example of protein to which clathrin binds?
|
the cellular side of the M6P receptor (remember acid hydrolases that need to get to lysosome)
|
|
How does endocytosis work?
|
1. Initial invagination of membrane by clathrin. 2. Recruitment of dynamin (like a molecular noose) 3. Hydrolysis of 1 GTP/dynamin monomer tightens noose until vesicle pops off.
|
|
How does exocytosis work?
|
1. V-snares on vesicle bind with T-snares on membrane. 2. Hydrolysis of ATP twists "ropes" of V and T snare. 3. Membranes fuse
|
|
What are the three forms of endocytosis?
|
1. Pintocytosis (cellular drinking), 2. Phagocytosis (cellular eating), 3. Receptor mediated endocytosis
|
|
Explain Pintocytosis
|
Cellular drinking, non-specific uptake, can't see what's in vesicles
|
|
Explain Phagocytosis
|
Cellular eating, non-specific uptake, larger things in vesicles
|
|
Explain Receptor mediated endocytosis
|
1. Receptor proteins (transmembrane at cell surface) bind to an extracellular ligand. 2. The cytoplasmic side of the receptor protein binds clathrin. 3. Targets endosome -> late endosome -> lysosome (drastic decrease in pH)
|
|
What three things can happen to an endocytosed vesicle?
|
1. Transcytosis (cross cell intact) 2. Mutual degradation (both ligand and receptor destroyed in lysosome) 3. Ligand degradation (ligand to lysosome, but receptor recycled to cell surface).
