Journal #7 - Vocabulary


Hello journal,


VOCABULARY TIME..


SNARE Proteins (T-snare & V-snare)

SNARE proteins are molecular motors that allow two membranes to fuse biologically [1]. The vesicle membrane (v-SNAREs) contains part of the motor assembly, while the target membrane (t-SNAREs) contains the other half.

Vesicle budding

Protein sorting is a method for selectively incorporating cargo into developing vesicles while leaving resident proteins in the donor compartment.

Coat proteins 

Coat proteins concentrate macromolecules onto specialized membrane patches, which are subsequently deformed into miniature coated vesicles, allowing selective transport of macromolecules from one membrane-enclosed compartment to another.
