	Rediscovering Biology - Unit 10 Neurobiology: Expert Interview Transcripts
		So this membrane that belongs to the vesicle originally, and is now in the cell membrane, has to be retrieved, and the mechanism for that is called endocytosis, the opposite of exocytosis.
		So what you can see is vesicles that sit there waiting at the membrane, and when the cell is stimulated and calcium goes inside, then these vesicles spread over the cell surface, or the dye in them spreads over the cell surface like the oil drop that you put in a puddle of water.
		Vesicles have to have been sitting there for a while, and we can tell now how long that time is. It's about a third of a second.

	Receptor Mediated Endocytosis
		Receptors are brought to the plasma membrane by vesicles from the trans region of the Golgi complex.
		Once the vesicle has formed, the clathrin coat is lost (perhaps via a chaperone protein of the heat shock protein 70 family).
		The vesicle then buds from the plasma membrane and forms an endocytic vesicle which fuses with other endocytic vesicles to form the early endosome (Rab5-GTP is instrumental in this homotypic fusion of the endocytic vesicles to form endosomes).

		If this is the case, then the optic vesicle would still have a role in determining where a lens forms during development because the inhibitory signal from neural crest cells would never reach the cells which then differentiate into the lens.
		It is possible that the tight adhesion between lens ectoderm and the optic vesicles (ov) prevents neural crest cells from migrating under future lens cells.

		This consists of a cluster of small, membrane-bound vesicles embedded in a meshwork of actin microfilaments.
		At maturity the vesicle wall ruptures and the vesicle sap squirts the sporangium for a distance of several centimetres.
		The vesicle acts as a lens, focusing light on this pigment and causing the sporangiophore to bend so that the sporangium is shot towards the light source.

	The Golgi Complex
		Note that the vesicle are moving to contribute to the cis-Golgi network of vesicles and cisternae.
		The inside of the vesicle becomes continuous with the inside of the Golgi cisternae, so that protein groups pointing towards the inside, could eventually be directed to face the outside of the cell.
		The numerous vesicles in the area are transporting the proteins to and from cisternae.

	ScienceDaily: 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.
		The new structure hints at how the coat disassembles itself by, in effect, "breaking the mold" around the vesicle, and freeing it to carry its protein cargo away to be released at the right place in the cell.

	Dept of MCB, Harvard U: News and Events - MCB News
		Once used, synaptic vesicles are recycled locally for future release of neurotransmitter – such local recycling is critical for keeping up synaptic function because synapses are typically far away from neuronal cell bodies that produce new vesicles.
		Specifically, the authors asked whether newly endocytosed vesicles were locally and immediately reused for another round of neurotransmitter release, or whether they were mobilized to the back of the vesicle queue for later reuse (forming part of a pool of vesicles known as the reserve pool).
		Using both fluorescence imaging of spH responses and dual patch-clamp recordings, the authors found that once a vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane it is subsequently retrieved and taken to the reserve pool.

		The tethers physically link a transport vesicle to its appropriate acceptor compartment, the Rabs are GTPases that regulate vesicle tethering, and the SNAREs are cytoplasmically oriented membrane proteins that reside on vesicles and target organelles.
		The interaction of a transport vesicle with its target membrane is a multistage process that involves recognition followed by one or more tethering events.
		The exocyst is a multisubunit complex that was originally identified for its role in tethering post-Golgi vesicles to the plasma membrane.

		Synaptic vesicles deliver their content into the synaptic space by fusion with the plasma membrane (exocytosis) and are rapidly reformed by the endocytosis and recycling of their membranes.
		These studies have led us to discover an important function of inositol phospholipids (phosphoinositides) in synaptic vesicle recycling and we are actively pursuing studies on the regulatory function of these phospholipids at synapses.
		A cycle of PI(4,5)P2 synthesis and hydrolysis accompanies the exo-endocytosis of synaptic vesicles at synapses.

		One important challenge facing modern biology is to understand how individual biochemical reactions are integrated in space and time.
		Increasingly, new vital probes and optical methods has begun to provide unique mechanistic insight into how molecules, vesicles, organelles and whole cells are (re)organized in response to internal and external cues.
		The time-lapse series is shown in 1 second intervals (left-to-right) and when the vesicle fuses an enormous flash is seen (see Toomre et eal., 2000 [PDF]).

	Genome Biology \| Full text \| The syntaxins
		Factors that determine the specificity of the docking and fusion of vesicles to the correct target membranes were subsequently identified from their incorporation, again in a cell-free assay, into a 20S assembly complex with recombinant NSF and α-SNAP [2].
		On the other hand, one explanation for the apparent multiple functions of the predominantly TGN-localized syntaxin 6 is that it is perhaps not a true syntaxin, even though it has been categorized as one, as its SNARE domain resembles that of the SNAP23/25/29 family members more than the syntaxins [6].
		In perhaps most instances, vesicle docking is preceded by a process known as tethering, whereby molecules known as tethering factors bring vesicles close to the target membrane, to enhance productive docking and fusion.
