Study Notes
Vesicular Traffic, Secretion, and Endocytosis
- GFP (green fluorescent protein) discovery facilitated living cell experiments due to its ability to fuse with other proteins.
- Endoglycosidase D distinguishes glycosylated proteins that remain in the ER.
- Yeast sec mutations provide insight into mechanisms but may affect non-essential genes.
- Cell-free transport assays offer evidence for secretory pathway analysis, assess glycosylation status, and test protein effects.
- VSV G protein analysis is useful due to its temperature-sensitive folding properties permitting protein synthesis and inhibitor use in experiments.
- Vesicles' movement direction in VSV G-based systems is determined through isolating and characterizing vesicles.
- NSF, a protein in the secretory pathway, is implicated in inhibiting ER-to-Golgi transport.
- Identifying defective phenotype in relation to wild-type yeast.
- Role of vesicle budding, trafficking, and membrane fusion in the secretory pathway for correct movement of proteins through the system.
- COPI, COPII proteins, and GTPases' association in vesicle transport in various cellular locations.
