Clathrin-coated vesicle assembly polypeptides: physical properties and reconstitution studies with brain membranes
The assembly polypeptides are an integral component of coated vesicles and may mediate the linkage of clathrin to the vesicle membrane. We have purified assembly polypeptides in milligram quantities from bovine brain by an improved procedure. Hydrodynamic and chemical crosslinking studies indicate that the protein is an asymmetric heterotetramer with a molecular weight of 252,000, containing tw...
متن کاملReconstitution of clathrin-coated pit budding from plasma membranes
Receptor-mediated endocytosis begins with the binding of ligand to receptors in clathrin-coated pits followed by the budding of the pits away from the membrane. We have successfully reconstituted this sequence in vitro. Highly purified plasma membranes labeled with gold were obtained by incubating cells in the presence of anti-LDL receptor IgG-gold at 4 degrees C, attaching the labeled cells to...
متن کاملInvestigation of fusion complex assembly from placental clathrin coated vesicle membranes.
Vectorial movement of macromolecules between compartments in the cell is mediated by membrane-bound transport vesicles. Fusion between transport vesicles and their appropriate target organelle requires the presence of soluble factors. NEM-sensitive factor (NSF) was one of the first components shown to be essential for vesicle fusion [I]. Later it was found that in order for NSF to function it r...
متن کاملClathrin-coated vesicle formation: a paradigm for coated-vesicle formation.
Clathrin-coated pits are the major ports of entry into the cell and are responsible for the internalization of a variety of biologically important macromolecules. These transport intermediates form as a result of the co-ordinated assembly of a number of cytosolic proteins on to the membrane which results in specific cargo recruitment. We have used a variety of approaches including permeabilized...
متن کاملRegulation of clathrin-coated vesicle formation.
The formation of clathrin-coated pits at the plasma membrane requires the concerted action of many different molecules. The real challenge lies in determining the hierarchy of these interactions. We are using assays in both intact and permeabilized cells to dissect the temporal requirements for clathrin-coated vesicle formation, and also to examine the role of phosphorylation of the coat proteins.
