Leaving the Cell: Vesicular Trafficking Through Endomembrane System
Protein Trafficking Through Endomembrane
proteins travel as cargo with vesicles from Golgi complex -> cell membrane •
proteins travel as cargo with vesicle from ER -> Golgi complex •
Golgi complex made of elongated flat sacs called cisternae •
vesicles transport proteins from ER -> cis-cisternae ◦
transport away from trans-cisternae ◦
constitutive secretory pathway used by proteins released after protein synthesis/•
transport
regulated secretory pathway used by proteins kept in cell until signal triggers •
release
secretory granules = secretory vesicles held in cell ◦
Golgi Cisternae
Golgi not single organelle - has elongated vesicle sacs called cisternae •
closest to ER = cis-cisterne ◦
furthest = trans-cisternae - break into vesicles to form trans-Golgi network ◦
movement of proteins from ER to cell membrane = anterograde transport •
aka moving in forward direction ◦
Models of Anterograde Transport - Transport Through Golgi
Model A (vesicular transport model) - suggests vesicles •
carrying protein cargo move from cis -> medial -> trans
cisternae
Model B (Maturation model) - suggests proteins stay in •
cisternae but cisternae moves forward through Golgi complex
Protein in Golgi Apparatus
labeling different proteins and following their movement in cell lets us •
see pattern of movement
top image = antibody to cell membrane protein - expect anterograde •
transport through Golgi to target
membrane protein found in cisternal sacs only with no vesicle ◦
association - means vesicles not required for anterograde movement
bottom image = antibody to resident medial-Golgi protein - expect •
movement to trans-Golgi cisterna
cargo has moved anterograde but proteins mis-localized - requires ◦
resorting proteins in retrograde direction in vesicles
both observations consistent with model B •
implications of cisternal maturation: •
new cis-Golgi cisternae are formed by vesicles from ER ◦
trans-Golgi cisternae dissipate into transport vesicles ◦
Golgi resident proteins must be resorted in anterograde direction ◦
Golgi cisternae containing cargo move in anterograde direction! •
Transport Vesicle Formation and Function
Step 1: vesicle forms by a process called budding; buds arise from membrane of donor compartment •
Step 2: cargo proteins are loaded into buds via cargo signal sequences and receptors •
Step 3: vesicles formation and release •
Step 4: vesicle docking and fusion to membrane of the recipient compartment •
Golgi Complex - wheat germ
agglutinin, specific for N-
linked polysaccharides
Document Summary
Leaving the cell: vesicular traf cking through endomembrane system. Protein trafficking through endomembrane proteins travel as cargo with vesicles from golgi complex -> cell membrane proteins travel as cargo with vesicle from er -> golgi complex. Golgi not single organelle - has elongated vesicle sacs called cisternae closest to er = cis-cisterne furthest = trans-cisternae - break into vesicles to form trans-golgi network movement of proteins from er to cell membrane = anterograde transport. Golgi complex - wheat germ agglutinin, speci c for n- linked polysaccharides aka moving in forward direction. Models of anterograde transport - transport through golgi. Model a (vesicular transport model) - suggests vesicles carrying protein cargo move from cis -> medial -> trans cisternae. Model b (maturation model) - suggests proteins stay in cisternae but cisternae moves forward through golgi complex. Golgi resident proteins must be resorted in anterograde direction. Golgi cisternae containing cargo move in anterograde direction!
