Vesicular Tubular Clusters01:45

Vesicular Tubular Clusters

3.3K
After budding out from the ER membrane, some COPII vesicles lose their coat and fuse with one another to form larger vesicles and interconnected tubules called vesicular tubular clusters or VTCs. These clusters constitute a compartment at the ER-Golgi interface known as ERGIC (Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Intermediate Compartment). The ERGIC is a mobile membrane-bound cargo transport system that sorts proteins secreted from ER and delivers them to the Golgi.
With the help of motor proteins such...

Transport Across the Golgi01:26

Transport Across the Golgi

6.5K
While it is unclear how molecules move between adjacent Golgi cisternae, it is apparent that the molecules move from cis- cisterna, the entry face, to the trans- cisterna, the exit face. Experiments initially suggested vesicles that bud from one cisterna and fuse with the next cisterna to transport proteins between the cisternae. This vesicular transport model describes the Golgi apparatus as a relatively static structure with a unique enzyme composition in each cisterna. Molecules are...

Overview of Secretory Vesicles

9.8K
Secretory vesicles, also known as dense core vesicles (DCVs), are membrane-bound vesicles that transport secretory proteins, such as hormones or neurotransmitters. Regulated secretory vesicles transport proteins from the trans-Golgi network to the exterior of the cell. Proteins present in regulated secretory vesicles are required to be rapidly exocytosed in large amounts upon a specific stimulus.
Various proteins regulate the aggregation of molecules inside the secretory vesicles. Chromogranins...

COP Coated Vesicles00:59

COP Coated Vesicles

18.5K
Membrane-enclosed structures called vesicles transport proteins and lipids across the cell. The vesicles derive their cargo from the plasma membrane, Golgi, ER, or endosome. Coated vesicles are spherical, protein-coated carriers with a 50–100 nm diameter that mediate bidirectional transport between the ER and the Golgi. The distribution of proteins between the ER and Golgi complex is dynamic and is maintained by different coated vesicles. Their formation is driven by the assembly of...

Clathrin Coated Vesicles01:12

Clathrin Coated Vesicles

9.9K
Clathrin-coated vesicles use endocytosis to transport receptors and lysosomal hydrolases from the Golgi to the lysosome in the late secretory pathway. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis was the first described endocytic process, and Clathrin-coated vesicles remain one of the most well-studied transport vesicles. The molecular machinery that generates clathrin-coated vesicles comprises over 50 proteins that precisely coordinate vesicle formation. Cell surface receptors concentrated in indented sites...

Fluid Mosaic Model01:19

Fluid Mosaic Model

19.1K
Scientists identified the plasma membrane in the 1890s and its principal chemical components (lipids and proteins) by 1915. The model for plasma membrane structure, proposed in 1935 by Hugh Davson and James Danielli, was the first model to be widely accepted in the scientific community. The model was based on the plasma membrane's "railroad track" appearance in early electron micrographs. Davson and Danielli theorized that the plasma membrane's structure resembled a sandwich...

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Soft Matter Physics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Previous models described stationary states of two-phase vesicles.
  • Understanding vesicle dynamics is crucial for cellular processes and material design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a dynamic model for two-phase vesicle evolution.
  • To extend a prior stationary model by incorporating dynamic equilibrium of forces.
  • To analyze the interplay between membrane bending potential and fluid friction.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a simplified dynamic model ignoring membrane inertia.
  • Considered dynamic equilibrium between membrane bending potential and local fluid friction.
  • Incorporated membrane section reactions to complete equilibrium equations at domain borders.

Main Results:

  • The dynamic model shows agreement with stationary models and experimental data in some cases.
  • Significant differences between stationary and evolutionary models were observed in other cases.
  • The model successfully accounts for uncertainties and calculates intermediate vesicle shapes during evolution.

Conclusions:

  • The dynamic model provides a more comprehensive understanding of two-phase vesicle behavior than stationary models.
  • This approach allows for the calculation of transient states and identification of dynamic uncertainties.
  • The findings have implications for fields requiring knowledge of lipid membrane dynamics and vesicle behavior.
