Purpose of lecture

Purpose of lecture:
The aim of this lecture is to understand how the membrane traffic processes allow precise transport of proteins and other biomolecules to different compartments in the cell, what the biological significance of the processes are, and what the pathological consequences caused by dysregulation of the processes are.

Plan of lecture

Plan of lecture:
1. Endocytosis (membrane deformation)
2. Endocytic pathway (traffic from cell surface to lysosomes)
3. Budding of enveloped viruses from host cells
4. Viral strategy to evade host defense system (traffic of MHC class I)
5. Secretory pathway (traffic from endoplasmic reticulum to cell surface)
6. Traffic from the Golgi to endosomes
7. Exocytosis (membrane fusion)
8. Rab family of small GTPases
9. Autophagy - molecular mechanisms
10. Autophagy - physiological roles
11. Kinesin-mediated vesicle transport
