Researchers discovered that specific t-SNARES, v-SNAREs, and Rabs are localized to the area where new membrane is being laid down. In a mutant, one type of v-SNARE is unable to localize to the area, vesicles accumulate but new membranes dividing the cells do not form. Having the knowledge about t-SNARES, v-SNAREs, and Rabs, how do explain these observations?

In this process, the membrane of the secretory vesicle becomes part of the cell membrane. Because small pieces of membrane are continually added to the cell membrane, we would expect the cell membrane to become larger and larger as secretion continues. However, the cell membrane stays the same size. Explain how this happens.arrow_forward
- Tight junctions are protein junctions that provide a water-tight seal between cells. They ensure that materials must enter the cells (through diffusion or active transport) to pass through the tissue. Tight junctions are characteristic of cells lining the digestive tract, where materials are required to pass through cells (not between them) before they can travel into the blood. Can someone explain more clearly why lining the digestive tract?arrow_forwardWhich two coat proteins are involved in the trafficking of proteins destined for the endosome/lysosome?
