Document Summary

The er is the entry point for proteins destined for a variety of locations. Small membrane bound organelles that package material from one. Topology of vesicle budding and fusion organelle to another: donor compartment (the organelle that provides membrane for vesicle, bud forms on donor compartment. Coat proteins help shape membranes into vesicles: fuzzy shell , clathrin-coated. Clathrin-coated vesicle formation: selection of cargo to be transported is mediated by transport receptors. Cargo receptor in membrane with active site facing lumen: adaptins capture cargo receptors by binding their cytoplasmic tails, coat proteins bind adapts to start formation of a vesicle (called coated pits) When it starts to assemble, it will form a curved formation. Enough of clathrin more curving circular: dynamin wraps around the vesicle neck to complete pinching off, vesicle is released from membrane, coat comes off soon after vesicle release (recycled) Important for fusion and vesicle recognition: side note: Transmembrane proteins can interact directly with adaptins.
