Questions and Answers

What is the role of dynamin in endocytosis?

  • Induce more PIP2 hydrolysis
  • Gather at the neck to create higher curvature and recruit phosphatase (correct)
  • Create higher membrane curvature
  • Transport and sort vesicles based on receptor type or membrane composition
  • How does clathrin assist in vesicle formation?

  • Directly associates with the membrane to form the vesicle
  • Acts as a scaffold protein that polymerizes and forms a cage around the vesicle (correct)
  • Binds with caveolin to drive membrane deformation
  • Is a tetrameric adaptor complex for coated vesicles
  • What initiates clathrin complex formation?

  • Dynamin-induced vesicle scission
  • Presence of adaptor protein and PIP2 accumulation (correct)
  • Dissociation of the coat after scission
  • Formation of coated vesicles by Ap2
