BIOL 303 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Golgi Apparatus, Clathrin, Cell Membrane
Chapter 13
• Recall the secretory and endocytosis pathway order and functions of each compartment
(chapter 13, slide 6)
• Endocytosis: membrane faces outside and pulls vesicle into the cell.
• Vesicles must first ‘fuse’ with the compartment membrane and then
release their cargo into the lumen.
• Exocytosis: vesicle starting inside the cell and being pushed out the membrane.
• They bud off from compartments carrying cargo from the lumen and/or
membrane.
• Parts of secretory and endocytic pathways:
• ER: endoplasmic reticulum = protein synthesis
• Golgi: Golgi apparatus = packaging, transport
• Endosomes: late and early = recycling, repackaging, transport
• Lysosome = degradation
• Plasma membrane = cytosol regulation, cell-to-cell communication,
excitability, etc.
• Late endosomes become lysosomes.
• Match COP and clathrin vesicular coatings with the organelles that use them (chapter 13,
slides 7-9).
• Clathrin-coated: Golgi Apparatus, Endosomes and Plasma Membrane
• COPI&II: Golgi cisternae & Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Describe in detail the process of clathrin endocytosis (chapter 13, slides 10-19).
• Clathrin assembly drives vesicle formation

• Each subunit of clathrin is made up of 3 large and 3 small polypeptides
that form a triskelion.
• Triskelions assemble in a basket to form coated pits on cytosolic surfaces
of membranes.
• Clathrin triskelions can self-assemble and form the polyhedral
shape of the clathrin coat.
• Light chains link to actin cytoskeleton which help generate and/or
relieve forces produced during vesicle budding.
• Adaptor proteins link the clathrin coat to the membrane and bind
transmembrane ‘cargo receptors’ in the process
• Specific adapter proteins for sets of cargo receptors
• AP2 in the cytosol is formed from multiple protein subunits and exists in a
“locked” form.
• To bind cargo receptors (to “open”), AP2 must first bind a
phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) phospholipid.
• Binding to a PIP exposes receptor binding sites for the
cargo receptors and allows AP2 to act as a coincidence
detector.
• Specific PIPs are found in different organelles, bind
specific Aps & recruit specific proteins to regulate vesicle
formation.
• Vesicles are “pinched off” by cytoplasmic proteins
