Study Notes
Module 5, Lecture 2: Vesicular Trafficking
- Proteins leave the rough ER in vesicles, travelling to destinations like the Golgi, lysosome, cell membrane, or secretion.
- Proteins are transported through the Golgi in vesicles and the Golgi complex is composed of flattened sacs called cisternae.
- Vesicles from rough ER move to cis-cisternae of the Golgi, and then to trans-cisternae vesicles from the Golgi.
- Vesicles fuse with the cell membrane, releasing proteins in a process called exocytosis.
- Constitutive secretory pathway releases proteins immediately after synthesis and transport.
- Regulated secretory pathway keeps proteins in the cell until a signal triggers release.
- Secretory granules are vesicles for regulated secretory pathway.
- Endosomes capture and transport macromolecules from outside the cell.
Golgi Complex Structure and Function
- The Golgi complex is a series of flattened sacs called cisternae; not a single organelle.
- The Golgi has different compartments: cis-Golgi network, medial cisternae, and trans-cisternae.
- Cis-Golgi network receives vesicles from the rough ER.
- Medial and trans portions of Golgi further modify proteins.
- Vesicles are continually formed and move through the Golgi.
- There are resident proteins throughout the Golgi.
Protein Transport Pathways
-
Proteins move from the rough ER to the cell membrane through the Golgi complex in anterograde transport.
-
Proteins may be mislocalized and must be transported back to the ER in retrograde transport, involving COPI vesicles.
-
Model A: Vesicles carrying protein cargo move sequentially from cis- to medial- to trans-cisternae.
-
Model B: Cisternae themselves move, while cargo proteins remain in place within cisternae.
-
Experimental evidence supports Model B (cisternal maturation model) - cisternae mature and proteins move through them.
Golgi Cisternal Maturation
- Golgi cisternae are dynamic, changing shape and fusing to form new cisternae.
- New cis-cisternae form from vesicles from the ER.
- Trans-Golgi network contains dispersed vesicles
- Golgi resident proteins are mislocalized in the retrograde direction.
Vesicle Formation
- Vesicle formation occurs through budding from the donor compartment.
- Cargo proteins are loaded into the buds via cargo signaling sequences and receptors.
- Vesicles undergo formation, release, docking, and fusion to the recipient compartment.
- Three types of vesicles are clathrin coated vesicles, COPI coated vesicles and COPII coated vesicles.
Vesicle Release
- GTP hydrolysis by dynamin causes the release of clathrin coated vesicles.
- Dynamin proteins accumulate at the neck of the budding vesicle.
- Dynamin proteins can move and push vesicles via two models: pinchase and poppase.
Dynamin Protein Function
- Dynamin protein is involved in vesicle release.
- Two models are used to describe dynamin function: pinchase model (dynamin constricts the vesicle neck) and pop-pase model (dynamin pushes the vesicle away.)
- Dynamin functions are related to endocytosis as well.
Temperature-Sensitive Dynamin Mutations
- Shibire gene codes for dynamin protein in Drosophila
- Permissive temperature allows wild-type dynamin to function and non-functional dynamin are observed at restrictive temperature.
- Failure in vesicle formation affects neurotransmitter transport and causes paralysis.
Vesicle Fusion
- Vesicle fusion is mediated by SNARE proteins.
- v-SNAREs are on vesicles (example: VAMP), t-SNAREs are on target membranes (example: syntaxin and SNAP25).
- SNARE protein helices bundle and pull membranes together permitting the release of cargo contents.
Protein Transport to ER
- Proteins are sorted back to ER using signals specific to ER resident proteins.
- KDEL sequence is recognized by KDEL receptor in Golgi
- COPI vesicles are used to transport proteins and receptors from the Golgi complex to ER
Summary Notes:
- Experimental data corroborates that the cisternal maturation model (movement of cisternae) is the most likely method of protein transport.
