Reconstitution of Endosomal Transport and Proteolysis

  • Chapter
Endocytic Components: Identification and Characterization

Part of the book series: Subcellular Biochemistry ((SCBI,volume 19))

Abstract

Receptor-mediated endocytosis is initiated by the accumulation of receptor-ligand complexes in clathrin-coated pits on the plasma membrane. The clustering of receptors in these domains is followed by membrane invagination and the subsequent formation of coated vesicles. Ligand binding induces the clustering of some receptors—for example, epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor—in coated pits (Beginout et al.,1985). Alternatively, many other receptors—low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL), transferrtin receptor—are internalized constitutively in the absence of ligand (Anderson et al., 1977; Harding et al.,1983). Numerous studies suggest the signals for clustering and internalization are encoded in the cytoplasmic tail of endocytosed receptors (Davis et al., 1987; Lobel et al., 1989). Proteins associated with clathrin in the vesicle coat, such as adaptins, may interact directly with receptor tails to regulate these early steps in endocytosis (Pearse, 1988; Glickman et al.,1989). Shortly after their formation, coated vesicles containing receptor-ligand complexes lose their clathrin lattice in an ATP-dependent reaction (Rothman and Schmid, 1986). The resulting smooth vesicles (early endosomes) may retain some peripheral proteins and membrane components that function in intracellular transport and sorting reactions.
