Question

Your friend has just joined a lab that studies vesicle budding from the Golgi and has been given a cell line that does not form mature vesicles. He wants to start designing some experiments but wasnât listening carefully when he was told about the molecular defect of this cell line. Heâs too embarrassed to ask and comes to you for help. He does recall that this cell line forms coated pits but vesicle budding and the removal of coat proteins donât happen. Which of the following proteins might be lacking in this cell line? A) clathrin B) Rab C) dynamin D) adaptin

Answer 1

C) dynamin

Step-by-step explanation:

In eucaryotic cells, dynamin is required for exocytosis, where dynamin participates in the formation of the vesicle. These enzymes are also involved in organelle division and cytokinesis. Dynamin proteins are hydrolase enzymes capable of binding guanosine triphosphate (GTP).
