 TechRef-155 - COPI-COATED ER-TO-GOLGI TRANSPORT COMPLEXES SEGREGATE FROM COPII IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ER EXIT SITES.
Genetic, biochemical and morphological data have accumulated into a model which suggests a sequential mode of action with COPII mediating the selection of cargo and formation of transport vesicles at the ER membrane for ER-to-Golgi transport and COPI mediating recycling of the transport machinery from post-ER membranes.
To test this transport model directly in vivo, and to study the precise temporal sequence of COPI and COPII action in ER-to-Golgi transport, we have used time lapse microscopy of living cells to visualise simultaneously the dynamics of COPII and COPI, as well as COPII and GFP tagged secretory markers in living cells.
COPII is not present on these transport complexes and remains associated with the ER.

 Structure reveals details of cell’s cargo-carriers
Understanding vesicle "budding" is one of the prerequisites for learning how proteins and other molecules are routed to their correct destinations in the cell.
The pre-budding complex is the triggering component of a protein coat called COPII that grabs a section of the ER membrane, pinches it off to form the vesicle and packages the protein cargo to be transported.
"What makes the COPII coat unique is that encoded in its proteins is much of the information that tells it to go to the endoplasmic reticulum and which cargo to take up from the ER," said Goldberg.

Transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cis-Golgi depends on the COPII coat protein complex.
The COPII coat consists of the Sar1 GTPase, the Sec23-Sec24p complex and the Sec13-Sec31p complex.
Budding occurs by the polymerisation of the COPs and is accompanied by the recruitment of SNARE proteins (7-9).

Transport of proteins in eukaryotic cells from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi complex proceeds by deformation of specialized portions of the donor membrane to form carrier vesicles.
A group of cytosolic proteins collectively known as COPII carry out a programmed set of sequential interactions, leading to cargo sorting and vesicle budding.
It is thought that on GTP hydrolysis, Sar1p-GDP is released, leading to uncoating before fusion of the vesicle to the target membrane and recycling of COPII components.

The exclusion of ER membrane proteins, that was previously reported for the vesicles of the cellular antero rade transport, was shown to occur with the formation of the Poliovirus vesicles also.
Furthermore, it was shown that Poliovirus vesicles that accumulated after either the expression of PV protein 2BC or the entire set of the viral non structural proteins, were also carrying the COPII coat proteins and thus were produced by the COPII mechanism like the vesicles during the poliovirus infection.
These results demonstrate that Poliovirus vesicles are formed at the ER membranes by the cellular COPII mechanism homologous to the anterograde transport vesicles and not through the function of a single virale protein.
