Resumen
GNOM-LIKE1 (GNL1) es una proteína vegetal con funciones ancestrales de Golgi. GNL1 también media la endocitosis selectiva y la resistencia a los BFA, revelando la evolución del tráfico específico de plantas.

- Biología celular vegetal Biología celular vegetal
- Biología molecular y celular Biología molecular y celular
- El tráfico de membranas.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las vías de tráfico de la membrana intracelular muestran una diversificación independiente en las plantas.
- Los ARF-GEF son cruciales para el tráfico vesicular; las plantas poseen familias ancestrales BIG y GBF.
- Las proteínas GBF de las plantas, a diferencia de las contrapartes fúngicas / animales, tienen funciones especializadas, por ejemplo, Arabidopsis GNOM en el reciclaje endosómico.

Principales métodos:
- Identificación y análisis de mutantes gnl1 en Arabidopsis thaliana.
- Observación de los marcadores del retículo endoplasmático y la morfología de la pila de Golgi.
- Evaluación de la internalización de PIN2 en la membrana plasmática en respuesta al tratamiento con BFA.
Principales resultados:
- Los mutantes gnl1 exhibieron compartimentos internos agrandados con marcadores ER acumulados.
- La pérdida de la función GNL1 sensibilizó las pilas de Golgi al BFA, causando la fusión ER.
- El tratamiento con BFA inhibió selectivamente la internalización de PIN2 en las raíces de gnl1, lo que indica un papel en la endocitosis.
Conclusiones:
- GNL1 es una proteína GBF resistente al BFA que funciona en el Golgi y en la endocitosis selectiva.
- GNL1 trabaja con ARF-GEF sensibles a BFA en el tráfico de plantas.
- El tráfico endocítico vegetal evolucionó a través de la neofuncionalización de la familia GBF, distinta de otros reinos.

Golgi Apparatus
108.1K
As they leave the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), properly folded and assembled proteins are selectively packaged into vesicles. These vesicles are transported by microtubule-based motor proteins and fuse together to form vesicular tubular clusters, subsequently arriving at the Golgi apparatus, a eukaryotic endomembrane organelle that often has a distinctive ribbon-like appearance.

Protein Transport to the Outer Chloroplast Membrane
2.5K
Chloroplast outer membrane proteins encoded by the nucleus are synthesized in the cytosol. Soon after synthesis, they bind cytosolic factors such as 14-3-3 protein and the Hsp70 chaperones that keep these precursors in an unfolded state until their translocation.
Two models describe the mechanism of precursor recognition and entry across the outer membrane through the TOC complex. Model 1 suggests the newly synthesized precursor binds to the TOC receptor 159 and forms a complex.

Coat Assembly and GTPases
4.8K
Vesicles incorporate different coat protein subunits in different cell locations, which changes the properties of the coat, such as the shape and geometry of the transport vesicles. Thus, vesicle coat proteins also play a significant role in cargo selection.
Coat assembly depends on the local availability of phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs and GTP-binding proteins. Adaptor proteins, which link the coat proteins to the membrane, bind to these PIPs and play a crucial role in controlling...

Golgi Apparatus
22.8K
Properly folded and assembled proteins are selectively packaged into vesicles that exit the ER. Motor proteins transport these vesicles to the Golgi apparatus for adding modifications that make these proteins functional at their destination.
The Golgi apparatus is a eukaryotic organelle that has a distinctive ribbon-like appearance. It is a primary sorting and dispatch station for cargo arriving from the ER. Newly arriving vesicles enter the cis face of the Golgi, closest to the ER, and are...

GPI Anchoring of Proteins in the ER Membrane
6.0K
GPI-anchoring is a post-translational, reversible protein modification that is ubiquitous in eukaryotes. Such proteins are primarily present on the exoplasmic leaflet of the plasma membrane.
GPI-anchor structure
A sequence of 11 enzymatic reactions results in the synthesis of the complete GPI anchor consisting of a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic portion. The hydrophobic portion comprises phosphatidylinositol, while the hydrophilic part comprises polar groups like phosphoethanolamine,...

Rab Cascades
3.8K
Rab GTPases act in a regulated cascade during membrane fusion, helping the lipid bilayers mix. The Rab family of proteins are active when bound to GTP, and inactive when bound to GDP. Hence, they act as guanine nucleotide-dependent molecular switches. Rab-GTP recognizes and binds to long or short-range tethering proteins to capture the target vesicle. These tethers coordinate with SNAREs on the vesicle and the target membrane to assemble the trans SNARE complex that locks the mixing bilayers.
