Assembly of the mannose-6-phosphate receptor into reconstituted clathrin coats.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

In ionic conditions in which clathrin coats are stable, the mannose-6-phosphate receptor associates with the 100-kd/50-kd coat complexes purified from bullock brain coated vesicles. These aggregates exist as striking spherical structures of 300-1000 A diameter. When clathrin is included in the assembly mixture, cages are formed which apparently encapsulate these aggregates, giving, in the absence of lipid, structures resembling full coated vesicles.
