Intracellular fusion of sequentially formed endocytic compartments
A polyclonal anti-fluorescein antibody (AFA) which quenches fluorescein fluorescence has been used to distinguish between two models of intracellular vesicle traffic. These models address the question of whether sequentially endocytosed probes will mix intracellularly or whether they are carried through the cell in a sequential, isolated manner. Using transferrin (Tf) as a recycling receptor ma...
متن کاملCell-free fusion of bacteria-containing phagosomes with endocytic compartments.
Uptake of microorganisms by professional phagocytic cells leads to formation of a new subcellular compartment, the phagosome, which matures by sequential fusion with early and late endocytic compartments, resulting in oxidative and nonoxidative killing of the enclosed microbe. Few tools are available to study membrane fusion between phagocytic and late endocytic compartments in general and with...
متن کاملFusion accessibility of endocytic compartments along the recycling and lysosomal endocytic pathways in intact cells
A fluorescence assay developed for the quantitation of intracellular fusion of sequentially formed endocytic compartments (Salzman, N. H., and F. R. Maxfield. 1988 J. Cell Biol. 106:1083-1091) has been used to measure the time course of endosome fusion accessibility along the recycling and degradative endocytic pathways. Transferrin (Tf) was used to label the recycling pathway, and alpha2-macro...
متن کاملProtein sorting to intracellular compartments
The organization of eukaryotic cells depends on correct targeting of proteins and lipids to the organelles at which they function, but how organelle identity is maintained in the face of a constant flux of material is a major problem for the cell. New mechanisms addressing this question were revealed at the Minisymposium on " Membrane Traffic: Dynamic and Regulation. " Starting with the endopla...
متن کاملThe role of mVps18p in clustering, fusion, and intracellular localization of late endocytic organelles.
Delivery of endocytosed macromolecules to mammalian cell lysosomes occurs by direct fusion of late endosomes with lysosomes, resulting in the formation of hybrid organelles from which lysosomes are reformed. The molecular mechanisms of this fusion are analogous to those of homotypic vacuole fusion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We report herein the major roles of the mammalian homolog of yeast Vp...
