Lecture 6
Cellular Uptake of Particles and Macromolecules
materials too large to pass through membrane
o e.g. uptake of extracellular materials (ligands)
o e.g. uptake of transporters and signaling receptors no longer required
uptake occurs into cytoplasmic vesicles derived from invaginations of cell membrane
Two separate categories: 1. Endocytosis 2. Phagocytosis
Endocytosis
uptake of dissolved solutes, macromolecules, signaling receptors, etc.
Receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME): uptake of specific extracellular
macromolecules (ligands) that bind to receptors on
external cell membrane surface
Take up hormones, growth factors, enzymes,
plasma proteins by binding to receptors
Endocytic Pathway (receptor-mediated) red=receptor;
blue=ligand
receptors bind ligand undergo conformational
change, clathrin binds on cytosolic side
PM pinches in (via clathrin) to form early
endosome (EE)
Clathrin goes off; early endosome matures into
sorting compartment (SC)
sorting compartment lumen fluid acidified due to
action of membrane H+ pumps
in low pH, ligands are released from cell
membrane receptors
receptors are recycled back to cell membrane in
vesicles
endosome carrier vesicles (ECV’s) leave SC and
fuse with late endosomes (LE) => mature into
lysosomes where contents are digested (via acid
hydrolases)
Phagocytosis (cell eating)
uptake of relatively large particulate matter (>0.5
µm in diameter)
for food, eg. Unicellular heterotrophic protists
for protection, eg. macrophage, dendritic cells and
neutrophil immune cells
because these cells have receptors on cell binds
particles (bacteria, dead cells, etc.)
macrophage have Fc-receptor that binds to antibodies (IgG) that coat (called “opsonize –
has a layer of antibodies on it”) pathogens, etc.
Phagocytosis Pathway
receptors(FcR) cluster into lipid rafts
