Document Summary

Vesicle traffic: multiple donor and acceptor (target) membranes in secretory pathway. 2 mechanisms ensure that vesicles transport their contents to the correct acceptor membrane: rab gtpase proteins provide specificity of vesicle targeting and attachment to acceptor, snare fusion proteins provide specificity during fusion of vesicles with acceptor membrane membrane. Rab proteins: large subfamily of ras-related proteins, different organelles and vesicle types in secretory pathway have unique sets of rab proteins. Switched on by gef, off by gap: rab-gtp binds to a large number of rab-effector proteins which mediate vesicle targeting. Rab membrane anchor: rabs have two geranylgeranyl groups (prenyl lipids) attached at c-termini with double bonds, branched lipids. In the gtp-bound state, the lipid modifications are exposed and anchor rab to membrane: the rab-effector proteins become attached to the membrane through rab-gtp the. Specific gef on membrane produces anchored, active rab-gtp: gef is linked to formation of vesicle coat, rab-gtp works through effector proteins.
