organelles and membrane domains,” “Not all transport vesicles are spherical.”
Know
• Which compartments vesicles can move between in a eukaryotic cell
o Er, golgi, late endosome, lysosome, early endosome, recycling endosome,
secretory vesicles
• The types of coat proteins and what type of transport they are used for (i.e., COPII coated
vesicles are typically trafficked from the ER to the Golgi)
o Clathrin coated
▪ Transport from plasma membrane and between endosomal and golgi
compartment
o COP-I coated
▪ Bud from golgi compartments
o COP-II coated
▪ Bud from ER compartments to golgi
• The components that make up coated vesicles
o Cargo – membrane components and soluble luminal molecules carried by
transport vesicles
o Cargo receptors
▪ Transmembrane receptors that capture soluble cargo molecules inside
vesicle
o Coat proteins
▪ Drive pathway of vesicles
o Adaptor proteins
▪ Form a discrete inner layer of coat between clathrin cage and membrane
▪ Bind clathrin coat to membrane and trap transmembrane proteins
▪ Basically package selected transmembrane proteins and their
corresponding proteins into clathrin coated transport vesicles
o Coat-recruitment GTPases
• What dynamin is, and what role it plays in cells
o Soluble cytoplasmic protein, at the neck of each bud
o Has a PI(4,5) and P2 binding domain
▪ Tethers protein to membrane
o And GTPase domain
▪ Regulates rate at which vesicles pinch off from the membrane
• The role of coat-recruitment GTPases
o Control assembly of clathrin coasts on endosomes and COPI and COPII coats on
Golgi and ER membranes
• What NSF is, and what role it plays in cells
o Catalyzes disassembly of SNAREs

o Hexameric ATPase
o Uses energy of ATP hydrolysis to unravel interactions between SNAREs
Understand
• The basic goals and principles of intracellular vesicular traffic
o To move molecules for use in biosynthetic pathways
• What the default pathway is for a protein that is initially folded in the ER, but has no
other signal sequences
o Secretory pathway to end up at plasma membrane
• The functions of coat proteins
o to direct vesicles to the appropriate destination
o inner layer – concentrates specific membrane proteins in a specialized patch to
bring about a vesicle membrane
o outer layer – assembles into basketlike lattice that deforms patch to shape the
vesicle
• How coated vesicles form
o Bud off from specialized coated regions of membranes
o Clathrin
▪ Each subunit has 3 large and 3 small polypeptide chains that form
triskelion
▪ Triskelion assemble into basketlike framework to make coated pits (buds)
on cytosolic side of membranes
▪ BAR domains bind and impose their shape on membrane via electrostatic
interactions with lipid head groups
• That vesicles are uncoated before they fuse with their target membrane
• How coat assembly is controlled, including how coat-recruitment GTPases are regulated
o Active – GTP; inactive – GDP
o Guanine nucleotide exchange factors activate proteins (GDP→GTP)
o GTPase activating proteins inactivate proteins (GTP→GDP)
o Types of GTPases
▪ ARF - Control assembly of COPI and clathrin coats at Golgi
▪ Sar1 - Control assembly of COPII at ER
• What tethering is and how Rab proteins are involved in tethering
o Tethering is attachment to a membrane of organelle or transport vesicle – Rab5
o Rab proteins and Rab effectors direct vesicle to specific spots on the correct target
membrane
• The role SNAREs play in membrane fusion and why they need to be pried apart after
fusion
o SNARE proteins and regulators mediate the fusion of lipid bilayers
o V-snares → vesicle membranes
▪ Single polypeptide

o T-snares → target membranes
▪ Three proteins
o Need to be disassembled before reuse because they are present as stable
complexes with partner snares
▪ Need to restart process to bring 2 other membranes together
Answer to questions
• Coat formation
o Cargo receptors
o Coat proteins
▪ Clathrin
• Goes from plasma membrane/Golgi to endosomes
▪ COPII
• ER to Golgi
▪ COPI
• Golgi to ER
o Adaptor proteins
o Coat recruitment GTP-ases
▪ Like molecular switch
▪ GTP active; GDP inactive
▪ GTP
• Portion inserted in membrane
• Binding to membrane allows recruitment of the coat proteins
▪ GDP
• Cannot be inserted into membrane
▪ GEF
• Exchange GDP for GTP
• Activates small G protein
▪ GAP
• Exchange GTP for GDP
• Inactivates small G protein
o Coat is resposile for forig esile ad deteriig hat’s iside, after
vesicle formation, coat is removed
• Dynamin
o Involved in pinching off vesicle, not involved in forming coat
• Membrane tethering
o Holding onto vesicle after coat falls off
o Helps vesicle determine what compartment it is supposed to travel to
o Involves Rab proteins
▪ Rab gtp binds to rab effector on membrane
• Membrane fusion
o Involves snares
o Interlock to allow molecules to combine
