植物EXO70基因家族的研究进展

胞吐是存在于所有真核生物的一种极其重要的细胞活动,直接参与了激素和神经信号的分泌、细胞生长、细胞极性的建立,细胞分裂和细胞壁的形成等多项生理过程。在胞吐过程中,高尔基后转运膜泡与靶膜的识别是由进化上高度保守的胞泌复合体（exocyst）介导的。该复合体由8个蛋白亚基构成,其中EXO70是组成胞泌复合体功能的关键亚基,可与小G蛋白和膜脂互作,参与复合体在靶膜组装。目前,对植物胞泌复合体功能的了解非常有限,已有证据显示其广泛参与了细胞生长,细胞壁形成、细胞分裂等多种生物学过程。与酵母和动物相比,植物胞泌复合体的一个显著特征是：EXO70在高等植物基因组中存在多个同源基因,其具体生物学功能尚不清楚。本文综述胞泌复合体的研究进展,重点讨论植物EXO70的多基因家族,推测不同的EXO70可能参与了组织细胞或运载底物特异的膜泡转运过程。

AN UNUSUAL CONFIGURATION OF THE GOLGI COMPLEX IN PIGMENT-PRODUCING "TEST" CELLS OF THE OVARY OF THE TUNICATE,STYELA

The test cell in the ovary of the tunicate Styela contains a large and robust Golgi complex which demonstrates a regional structural differentiation. In one of the regions, branching of the lamellae occurs resulting in a honeycomb or lattice-type arrangement. Small, dense granules or homogeneous material of moderate density may be present within certain of the Golgi cisternae. The close association, or continuity in some cases, between elements of the Golgi complex and immature forms of pigment suggests that the Golgi complex in these cells is involved in pigment formation. These relationships are shown and discussed in terms of possible functional significance.     

THE FINE STRUCTURE OF VON EBNER''S GLAND OF THE RAT

The fine structure of von Ebner's gland was studied in untreated rats and rats stimulated to secrete by fasting-refeeding or injection of pilocarpine. Cytological features were similar to those reported for pancreas and parotid gland. Abundant granular endoplasmic reticulum filled the basal portion of the cell, a well-developed Golgi complex was located in the vicinity of the nucleus, and the apical portion of the cell was filled with dense secretory granules. Dense heterogeneous bodies resembling lysosomes were closely associated with the Golgi complex. Coated vesicles were seen in the Golgi region and also in continuity with the cell membrane. Granule discharge occurred by fusion of the granule membrane with the cell membrane at the secretory surface. Successive fusion of adjacent granules to the previously fused granule formed a connected string of granules in the apical cytoplasm. Myoepithelial cells were present within the basement membrane, and nerve processes were seen adjacent to acinar and myoepithelial cells. Duct cells resembled the intercalated duct cells of the major salivary glands.

EFFECTS OF PUROMYCIN ON THE STRUCTURE OF RAT INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELLS DURING FAT ABSORPTION

This report provides information on the morphology of rat intestinal epithelial cells during fat absorption. In addition, the role of protein metabolism in this process has been evaluated by blocking its synthesis with puromycin and studying the fine structure of mucosal cells from rats at various times after fat intubation. The results indicate that SER-derived vesicles, containing fat droplets, migrate from the apical cytoplasm of the absorptive cell and fuse with saccules or vacuoles of the Golgi complex. Arguments are made that the Golgi complex is important in completing chylomicron formation and in providing appropriate enveloping membranes for the chylomicron. Such membranes may be necessary for Golgi vacuoles to fuse with the lateral cell membranes and release chylomicra. Puromycin treatment causes the absorptive cell to accumulate increased quantities of lipid that are devoid of membrane during fat absorption. In addition, puromycin-treated cells contain much less RER and Golgi membranes are strikingly decreased in number. In this paper we discuss the consequences of these abnormalities and suggest that continued protein synthesis by the RER is required in order to generate Golgi membranes. If such membranes are absent the cell's ability to discarge chylomicra is impaired and lipid accumulates.     

THE FINE STRUCTURE OF BRUNNER''S GLANDS IN THE MOUSE

Examined with the electron microscope, the secretory cells of the submucosal glands of Brunner in the mouse present a curious combination of the fine-structural features of both serous and mucus-secreting cells. The cells have numerous mitochondria, abundant basal ergastoplasm, dense secretory granules that bear a superficial resemblance to pancreatic zymogen granules, and an unusually extensive Golgi apparatus. The prominence of the lamellar, vesicular, and vacuolar elements of the Golgi complex facilitates detailed observation of these components. More evident than in other glandular cells, aggregates of small vesicles appear to represent the transitional elements and are vehicles for transport of the product between the ergastoplasm and the Golgi complex. The numerous vesicular evaginations of smooth-surfaced regions on cisternae of the rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum and accumulations of innumerable vesicles of similar size in the area between the nearest profiles of the ergastoplasm and the Golgi complex support this contention. The cytological characteristics and physiologic properties of Brunner's glands in various species are discussed briefly. It is concluded that the submucosal glands of the mouse are excellent material for exploration of the ultrastructural correlates of both protein and carbohydrate secretion, and it is suggested that their secretion may have functions other than those generally attributed to them, namely, chemical and mechanical protection of the duodenal surface epithelium.     

PERMANGANATE FIXATION OF THE GOLGI COMPLEX AND OTHER CYTOPLASMIC STRUCTURES OF MAMMALIAN TESTES

Observations on the fine structure of KMnO₄-fixed testes of small mammals (guinea pig, rat, and mouse) reveal certain morphological differences between the spermatogenic and Sertoli cells which have not been demonstrated in the same tissue fixed with OsO₄. Aggregates of minute circular profiles, much smaller than the spherical Golgi vesicles, are described in close association with the Golgi complex of developing spermatids. Groups of dense flattened vesicles, individually surrounded by a membrane of different dimensions than that which bounds most of the other cell organelles, appear dispersed within the cytoplasm of some spermatogenic cells. Flattened vesicles of greater density than those belonging to the Golgi complex are reported confined to the inner Golgi zone of developing guinea pig spermatids between the Golgi cisternae and the head cap. The profiles of endoplasmic reticulum within spermatocytes appear shorter, wider, and more tortuous than those of Sertoli cells. Minute cytoplasmic particles approximately 300 A in diameter and of high electron opacity appear randomly disposed in some Sertoli cells. Groups of irregular-shaped ovoid bodies within the developing spermatids are described as resembling portions of cytoplasm from closely adjacent spermatids. Interpretation is presented regarding the fine structure of KMnO₄-fixed testes in view of what has already been reported for mammalian testes fixed in OsO₄.     

SYNTHESIS OF THE CARBOHYDRATE OF MUCUS IN THE GOLGI COMPLEX AS SHOWN BY ELECTRON MICROSCOPE RADIOAUTOGRAPHY OF GOBLET CELLS FROM RATS INJECTED WITH GLUCOSE-H3

It is known that colonic goblet cells utilize glucose to synthesize the carbohydrate portion of mucus glycoprotein. To determine the intracellular site of this synthesis, glucose-H³ was injected into 10-g rats. At 5, 20, 40 min, 1, 1½, and 4 hr after injection, segments of colon were fixed and prepared for electron microscope radioautography. By 5 min after injection, label had been incorporated into substances present in the flattened saccules of the Golgi complex. At 20 min, both Golgi saccules and nearby mucigen granules were labeled. By 40 min, mucigen granules carried almost all detectable radioactivity. Between 1 and 4 hr, these labeled granules migrated from the supranuclear region to the apical membrane; here, they were extruded singly, retaining their limiting membrane. The evidence indicates that the Golgi saccule is the site where complex carbohydrate is synthesized and is added to immigrant protein to form the complete glycoprotein of mucus. The Golgi saccule, distended by this material, becomes mucigen granules. It is roughly estimated that one saccule is released by each Golgi stack every 2 to 4 min: a conclusion implying continuous renewal of Golgi stacks. It appears that the Golgi synthesis, intracellular migration, and release of mucus glycoprotein occur continually throughout the life of the goblet cell.     

FURTHER STUDIES ON THE THETA CELL OF THE MOUSE ANTERIOR PITUITARY AS REVEALED BY ELECTRON MICROSCOPY, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE MODE OF SECRETION

Theta cells reported previously as a new cell type in the anterior pituitary of the mouse were examined with the electron microscope. This type of cell is distinguished by the presence of pleomorphic secretory granules, a characteristic arrangement of the rough surfaced variety of endoplasmic reticulum, a well developed Golgi complex, and an eccentrically located nucleus. The secretory granules are seen at first as small granules of low density within the Golgi vesicles. While they are within the Golgi vesicles they become larger and denser. Simultaneously they move from the proximal to the distal part of the Golgi region and finally emerge from the Golgi area as mature granules in the cytoplasm. Thus, secretory granules are always enveloped by a limiting membrane which originates from the wall of the Golgi vesicle. At the stage of granule-extrusion, the cell membrane fuses with the limiting membrane of the granules and openings in the cell membrane appear at the place of extrusion. The granules then appear to lie within inpocketings of the cell membrane. They lose their density within these inpocketings or within the cytoplasm and occasionally show fragmentation. After complete loss of density, the granules are extruded as amorphous materials to the territory outside of the cell.     

OOCYTE DIFFERENTIATION IN THE SEA URCHIN, ARBACIA PUNCTULATA, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE ORIGIN OF CORTICAL GRANULES AND THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE CORTICAL REACTION

This paper presents morphological evidence on the origin of cortical granules in the oocytes of Arbacia punctulata and other echinoderms. During oocyte differentiation, those Golgi complexes associated with the production of cortical granules are composed of numerous saccules with companion vesicles. Each element of the Golgi complex contains a rather dense homogeneous substance. The vesicular component of the Golgi complex is thought to be derived from the saccular member by a pinching-off process. The pinched-off vesicles are viewed as containers of the precursor(s) of the cortical granules. In time, they coalesce and form a mature cortical granule whose content is bounded by a unit membrane. Thus, it is asserted that the Golgi complex is involved in both the synthesis and concentration of precursors utilized in the construction of the cortical granule. Immediately after the egg is activated by the sperm the primary envelope becomes detached from the oolemma, thereby forming what we have called the activation calyx (see Discussion). Subsequent to the elaboration of the activation calyx, the contents of cortical granules are released (cortical reaction) into the perivitelline space. The discharge of the constituents of a cortical granule is accomplished by the union of its encompassing unit membrane, in several places, with the oolemma.     

RADIOAUTOGRAPHIC COMPARISON OF THE UPTAKE OF GALACTOSE-H3 AND GLUCOSE-H3 IN THE GOLGI REGION OF VARIOUS CELLS SECRETING GLYCOPROTEINS OR MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES

The radioautographic distribution of the label of galactose-H³ was compared with that of glucose-H³ in a series of secretory cells of the rat. Whereas the glucose label appeared in all mucous cells, the galactose label was incorporated only into certain mucous cells. Whenever either label was incorporated, however, it was located first in the Golgi region and later in the secretion product, mucus. Several lines of evidence, including extraction of glucose label with peracetic acid—beta glucuronidase, indicated that the material synthesized in the Golgi region was glycoprotein in nature. In chondrocytes, both the galactose and the glucose label appeared first in the Golgi region and later in cartilage matrix; extraction of glucose label with hyaluronidase indicated that much of it consisted of mucopolysaccharide. In all secretory cells, the extraction of glycogen by amylase had no effect on Golgi radioactivity. Such extraction did not eliminate the scattered cytoplasmic label also seen after glucose-H³ injection, but completely eliminated that seen after galactose-H³. Consequently, the galactose-H³ label in the Golgi region stood out more clearly, and was detected in many cells: pancreas, liver, epididymis, and intestinal columnar cells. In the latter, label later appeared in the surface coat. Thus, radioautography after injection of galactose-H³, as after glucose-H³, indicates that synthesis of complex carbohydrates takes place in the Golgi region of many secretory cells.
