Packet 5: Tossup 13

Binding of the Hrs protein to ubiquitin and Pl(3)P stimulates this process by kickstarting the ESCRT (-5[2])(“escort”) complex. (-5[2])After AP2 (15[1])binds to a tyrosine-laden (-5[2])motif (-5[1])on a cytoplasmic “tail,” it recruits a (-5[1])triskelion-shaped (15[1])molecule that mediates (15[1]-5[1])this process. (15[1]-5[1])This process can occur through caveolae, but its most common type is receptor-mediated, (15[1])taking place through pits coated with (*) clathrin. (10[2]-5[1])The “late” product of this process undergoes fusion with the lysosome. (0[1])This process involves stabilization of membrane curvature and the formation of vesicles. For (10[1])10 points, name this process in which a cell takes up molecules (10[1])in contrast (10[1])to exocytosis. (10[2])■END■ (10[18])

ANSWER: endocytosis [accept specific forms of endocytosis such as pinocytosis or phagocytosis; reject “exocytosis”]
