Differential and sucrose density gradient centrifugation have shown that the mannosyl transferase present in germinating castor bean endosperm cells which catalyses the synthesis of mannosyl-phosphoryl-polyisoprenol is exclusively located in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. This intracellular location was confirmed using both ribosome-denuded microsomes isolated in the presence of EDTA and rough-surfaced microsomes isolated in the presence of excess Mg2+ added to maintain ribosome-membrane attachment. Separation of organelles following the incubation of crude particulate fractions with GDP[14C]mannose demonstrated that most of the mannolipid thus formed remained associated with the microsomal fraction. When organelles were isolated from intact tissue which had previously been incubated with GDP[14C]mannose, [14C]glycoprotein was found to be associated with other cellular fractions in addition to the microsomes, in particular the glyoxysomes. The kinetics of radioactive labelling of these organelles suggest that [14C]glycoprotein appears initially in the microsomal fraction and subsequently accumulates in the glyoxysomes. Subfractionation of isolated, [14C]glycoprotein-labelled glyoxysomes established that over 80% of the total radioactivity was present in the membrane, while sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of solubilized glyoxysomal membranes showed that the [14C]sugar moiety was associated with several, but not all, constituent polypeptides.Abbreviations ER endoplasmic reticulum - TCA trichloroacetic acid - SDS sodium dodecylsulphate - GDP guanosine diphosphate  相似文献

Glyoxysomes isolated from the endosperm of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) by sucrose density gradient centrifugation were fractionated into their matrix protein and membrane components. Antisera were raised in rabbits against both the matrix proteins and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-solubilized membrane proteins. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) analysis established that such antisera precipitate all major polypeptide components present in their respective glyoxysomal mixedantigen preparations. Furthermore, when soluble constituents recovered from the microsomal vesicles or solubilized microsomal membranes were challenged with the appropriate glyoxysomal antiserum, serological determinants were again found to be present. Intact endosperm tissue was incubated with [35S]methionine and the kinetics of 35S-incorporation into protein recovered in immunoprecipitates when the glyoxysomal matrix fraction or the soluble fraction released from the microsomes were incubated with anti-glyoxysomal matrix serum were followed. [35S]antigens rapidly appeared in the microsomal fraction whereas a lag period preceded their appearance in glyoxysomes. Interupting such kinetic experiments by the addition of an excess of unlabelled methionine resulted in a rapid decrease in the microsomal content of [35S]antigens and a concomitant increase in glyoxysomal content.Abbreviations SDS sodium dodecyl sulphate - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - ER endoplasmic reticulum  相似文献

A crude organelle preparation from germinating castor bean endosperm catalysed the incorporation of galactose from UDP[14C]galactose into chloroform/methanol (2:1)-soluble glactolipids. At least two galactolipids were formed. Most of the [14C]galactose was present in a galactolipid synthesized by the microsomal membranes, the remainder was present in a second galactolipid synthesized by other cellular membranes, possibly Golgi-derived. The addition of asialo-agalacto-fetuin reduced incorporation of [14C]galactose into the microsomal galactolipid with a concomitant increase in microsomal [14C]galactoprotein. Asialo-agalacto-fetuin did not affect galactolipid or galactoprotein synthesis by nonmicrosomal fractions. The results suggest that the endoplasmic reticulum is a major site of protein galactosylation in castor bean endosperm cells, and that galactose transfer from UDP-galactose to protein occurs via a lipid-linked intermediate.Abbreviations ER endoplasmic reticulum - ASGF asialoagalacto-fetuin - IDPase inosine diphosphatase - TCA trichloroacetic acid  相似文献

Lipid peroxidation in mitochondria induced by Fe2+ in the presence of ascorbate or by cumene hydroperoxide in the presence of phosphate results in a drop of the membrane potential and in K+ efflux. The inhibitors of ATP-synthetase (oligomycin and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD)) are capable of preventing lipid peroxidation, stabilizing the membrane potential and inhibiting potassium efflux. The same effects are observed in the presence of ionol or alpha-tocopherol. In contrast to antioxidant protection the effects of oligomycin and DCCD are reversed by the uncoupler (FCCP). The functional link between non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation, proton conduction through Fo component of ATP-synthetase and induced cation transport is suggested.  相似文献

A crude organelle preparation from germinating castor bean endosperm catalysed the incorporation of mannose from GDP[14C]mannose into acid-labile mannolipids. Solubility and chromatographic properties have identified the most rapidly synthesized products as mannosyl-phosphoryl-polyisoprenol, while the more polar lipid formed was shown to contain oligosaccharide. Little radioactivity from GDP[14C]mannose accumulated in insoluble product in the cell-free system, but supplying GDP[14C]mannose to intact endosperm tissue has shown that the major incorporation product in vivo is glycoprotein. This product was readily solubilized by either pronase or sodium dodecyl sulphate treatment suggesting it was membrane bound glycoprotein. Incorporation of mannose into mannosyl-phosphoryl-polyisoprenol during the cell-free assay was stimulated by the addition of dolichol monophosphate. This enzymic activity was optimal at pH 7.5 and in the presence of 10 mM Mg2+. The Km for GDP-mannose was estimated to be 5×10-7 M. Cellular mannosyl transferase activity changed markedly during early post-germinative growth; from being absent in the dry seed, enzyme activity increased to peak between the second and third days of growth and subsequently declined.Abbreviations TCA trichloroacetic acid - SDS sodium dodecyl sulphate  相似文献

Summary Parenchyma cells ofMimosa pudica display close associations between two or more cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum. These associations form simplified types of lamellar bodies in which inner paired lamellae have lost their ribonucleoprotein granules and are separated by a dense layer.  相似文献

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the Cdc25/Ras/cAMP pathway is involved in cell growth and proliferation regulation. Ras proteins are regulated by Ira1/2 GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) and Cdc25/Sdc25 guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs).Most of cytosolic Cdc25 protein was found on internal membranes in exponentially growing cells, while upon incubation in a buffer with no nutrients it is re-localized to plasma membrane. The overexpression of Tpk1 PKA catalytic subunit also induces Cdc25 export from the nucleus, involving two serine residues near the Nuclear Localization Site (NLS): mutation of Ser825 and Ser826 to glutamate is sufficient to exclude physiologically expressed Cdc25 from the nucleus, mimicking Tpk1 overproduction effect. Mutation of these Ser residues to Ala abolishes the effect of nuclear export induced by Tpk1 overexpression on a Cdc25eGFP fusion. Moreover, mutation of these residues affects PKA-related phenotypes such as heat shock resistance, glycogen content and cell volume.  相似文献

Summary Spindle membrane in the second division of meiosis inIris comprises endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and small spherical vesicles (40–80 nm diameter). The vesicles are in all respects similar to those of dictyosomes and it is proposed that they originate in the Golgi system. ER on the other hand is generated from the nuclear envelope (NE). Invaginations and evaginations of the inner and outer membranes of the NE are present at interphase and they enlarge during prophase II and break to form spindle ER elements at the beginning of prometaphase II. The area enclosed by this ER continues to increase until the entire spindle is filled with irregular profiles at mid-prometaphase II. During late-prometaphase II the quantity of ER decreases and, concurrent with an increase in the number of microtubules (MTs), the cisternae align alongside MT bundles and accumulate at the poles. It is suggested that ER increases in quantity by growth of NE membranes. Furthermore, the alignment of ER along the interpolar axis and its transport polewardsprior to anaphase suggest the action of a force on each ER element.  相似文献

Endoplasmic reticulum in the root protophloem of Nymphoides peltata (S.G. Gmel.) O. Kuntze changes form as sieve elements differentiate. In immature sieve elements the individual endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cisternae form large irregular aggregates in the cytoplasm. In older immature sieve elements the ER aggregates are more ordered and membranes in them are convoluted. Although convoluted ER predominates in immature sieve elements the ER of the mature sieve elements consists mainly of flattened stacks of ER cisternae. Some of these stacks of ER may be derived from the existing convoluted ER. Crystalline fibrils first appear in the cytoplasm of the sieve element when the ER starts to aggregate. The crystalline fibrils move to the parietal layer of the sieve element along with the aggregates of ER. A possible ontogenetic relationship between ER and crystalline fibrils is discussed.Abbreviation ER endoplasmic reticulum  相似文献

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in mapping the protein content of isolated organelles using mass spectrometry. However, many subcellular compartments are highly dynamic with diverse and intricate architectures that are not always preserved during membrane isolation procedures. Furthermore, lateral heterogeneities in intra‐membrane lipid and protein concentrations underlie the formation of membrane microdomains, trafficking vesicles and inter‐membrane contacts. These complexities in membrane organisation have important consequences for the design of membrane preparation strategies and test the very concept of organelle purity. We illustrate how some of these biological considerations are relevant to membrane preparation and assess the numerous potential pitfalls in attempting to purify organelles from mammalian cells.  相似文献

Polysomes in sieve elements of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were studied with the electron microscope. The polysomes were found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) present in immature sieve elements and also on the cisternae of aggregated ER in the parietal layer of mature, enucleate sieve elements. In the immature sieve elements the ER cisternae existed as narrow profiles while in the mature sieve elements the ER cisternae were considerably dilated and contained a fibrillar material and, occasionally, electron-opaque inclusions. In addition to the aggregated ER, single profiles of ER were found applied to the lateral walls and also the sieve plates. These cisternae also bore ribosomes and were separated from the plasmalemma by a narrow, dense space. In the mature sieve elements much of the surface of the ER membranes was covered with polysomes. The dimensions of the polysomes are described and the possibility that they contribute to the formation of the fibrillar material in the intracisternal space is discussed.Abbreviations ER endoplasmic reticulum  相似文献

Using Concanavalin A (Con A) labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate, we studied the intracellular localization of receptor molecules in the calyptra of 24-h dark-grown cress roots. Fixation in glutaraldehyde gave positive binding of the distal complex of the endoplasmic reticulum and the nucelus in the statocytes. In contrast, fixation in formaldehyde did not preserve the membrane-associated receptors, but revealed Con A affinity of the starch grain surface within the amyloplasts. Treatment of glutaraldehydefixed sections with non-ionic detergents led to partial solubilization of membrane components: the starch grain surface turned positive, though the positive binding of Con A to the endoplasmic reticulum and the nucleus remained unaffected. We therefore conclude that the Con A receptor in the membrane is a glycoprotein tightly inserted in other components of the compartment.Abbreviations Con A Concanavalin A - ER endoplasmic reticulum - FITC fluorescein isothiocyanate - NP 40 nonidet P40  相似文献

The ultrastructure of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in storage parenchyma cells in the cotyledons of mung beans (Vigna radiata L.) was examined during germination and seedling growth. Two different methods were used to visualize the ER: thin (0.08 m) sections of tissue fixed in formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde and post-fixed with osmium tetroxide, and thick (1 m) sections of tissue fixed in buffered aldehyde and post-fixed with zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide (ZIO). Changes in relative amounts of ER were quantified by morphometry (stereology).The ER occurs in two forms: a cisternal form with associated ribosomes which can be seen at all stages from imbibition to cotyledon senescence, and a tubular form which initially has associated ribosomes. Stereoscopic images of thick sections of cotyledons of 2-day-old seedlings show that the tubular ER consists of a three-dimensional array of interconnecting tubules which have numerous connections with the cisternal ER. The network of tubules and cisternae extends throughout the cytoplasm enveloping the protein bodies. Germination and seedling growth are accompanied by a reduction in the total volume occupied by the ER. This reduction is the result of a preferential loss of tubular ER and occurs largely before protein mobilization. Cisternal ER decreases during the first 48 h of imbibition and seedling growth, but storage cells subsequently show an increase in cisternal ER just prior to and during the period of protein mobilization. Cisternal ER remains conspicuous during the last phase of reserve mobilization when starch is broken down and the cells are starting autophagy.Abbreviations ER endoplasmic reticulum - ZIO zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide This is the second in a series of papers on the endoplasmic reticulum of mung bean cotyledons.

Glycoproteins extracted from microsomes of in-vitro-cultured cells of Daucus carota L. cv. US-Harumakigosun were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and detected by peroxidase-conjugated concanavalin A. The appearance of a glycoprotein with Mr 31 000 (GP 31) was correlated with the ability of cells to form somatic embryos. GP 31 appeared in embryogenic cells cultured in 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)-containing medium, but not in somatic embryos and non-embryogenic cells; it disappeared when the cultures were transferred to auxin-free medium. Another glycoprotein with Mr 32 000 (GP 32) was detected only in non-embryogenic cells, regardless of the presence or absence of 2,4-D. Both glycoproteins, GP 31 and GP 32, were associated with the rough endoplasmic reticulum and were extractable with 0.05% deoxycholate.Abbreviations Con A concanavalin A - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - ER endoplasmic reticulum - GP 31, GP 32 a glycoprotein with an apparent molecular mass of 31 or 32 kdalton - kDa kilodalton - MS Murashige and Skoog - Mr apparent molecular mass - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis  相似文献

Summary Post-meiotic tetraspore mother cells of Corallina officinalis L. have been studied by light and electron microscopy. During the course of post-meiotic cellular reorganisation each nucleus becomes surrounded by a complex of precisely oriented endoplasmic reticulum, termed nuclear endoplasmic reticulum. A distinctive feature of this relationship is an electron dense substance in contact with the nuclear surface and extending as groundplasm between the ER cisternae as far as the outer limits of the complex, where it gives place to the ribosome-containing matrix of the general cytoplasm. There is circumstantial evidence to indicate that the extracisternal electron dense material is a product of nucleo-cytoplasmic interaction, and that it is involved in the assembly of ribosomes.The nuclear endoplasmic reticulum appears to be active in the production of smaller swollen cisternal elements, which form frequently anastomosing reticular tracts in the regions between adjacent nuclei. There is structural evidence of vesicular transport of material from the swollen cisternae to the proximal (forming) face of the Golgi apparatus.These events are thought to be of fundamental importance in achieving the cellular reorganisation and transformation which occurs after the second meiotic division.The authors thank Mr. D.

Summary The fine structure ofAmoeba proteus nuclei has been studied during interphase and mitosis. The interphase nucleus is discoidal, the nuclear envelope is provided with a honeycomb layer on the inside. There are numerous nucleoli at the periphery and many chromatin filaments and nuclear helices in the central part of nucleus.In prophase the nucleus becomes spherical, the numerous chromosomes are condensed, and the number of nucleoli decreases. The mitotic apparatus forms inside the nucleus in form of an acentric spindle. In metaphase the nuclear envelope loses its pore complexes and transforms into a system of rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae (ERC) which separates the mitotic apparatus from the surrounding cytoplasm; the nucleoli and the honeycomb layer disappear completely. In anaphase the half-spindles become conical, and the system of ERC around the mitotic spindle persists. Electron dense material (possibly microtubule organizing centers—MTOCs) appears at the spindle pole regions during this stage. The spindle includes kinetochore microtubules attached to the chromosomes, and non-kinetochore ones which pierce the anaphase plate. In telophase the spindle disappears, the chromosomes decondense, and the nuclear envelope becomes reconstructed from the ERC. At this stage, nucleoli can already be revealed with the light microscope by silver staining; they are visible in ultrathin sections as numerous electron dense bodies at the periphery of the nucleus.The mitotic chromosomes consist of 10 nm fibers and have threelayered kinetochores. Single nuclear helices still occur at early stages of mitosis in the spindle region.  相似文献

Statocytes from roots of Lepidium sativum L., which developed after a 2-min soaking on a horizontal clinostat (2 rotations per min) for 44 h, exhibit the same polarity as in vertically grown roots, as indicated by a complex of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cisternae at the distal cell pole. Amyloplasts are distributed randomly. The kinetics of graviresponse (=curvature) of such roots are identical to those of normally grown roots. Ten-minute exposure of the root, after 24 h development on the clinostat with gravity acting towards the root's basis (inversion), induces no changes in statocyte ultrastructure. However, corresponding exposure in normal orientation leads to subsequent disintegration of the distal ER complex, loss of amyloplast starch, confluence of lipid droplets, and an increase of the lytic compartment. These ultrastructural events thus appear to be induced by a physical contact — however short — between amyloplasts and the distal ER complex.Abbreviation ER endoplasmic reticulumDedicated to Professor Dr. W.

The N-glycan-dependent quality control of glycoprotein folding prevents endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi exit of folding intermediates, irreparably misfolded glycoproteins and not completely assembled multimeric complexes. It also enhances folding efficiency by preventing aggregation and facilitating formation of proper disulfide bonds. The control mechanism essentially involves four components, resident lectin-chaperones that recognize monoglucosylated polymannose glycans, a lectin-associated oxidoreductase acting on monoglucosylated glycoproteins, a glucosyltransferase and a glucosidase that creates monoglucosylated epitopes in glycans transferred in protein N-glycosylation or removes the glucose units added by the glucosyltransferase. This last enzyme is the only mechanism component sensing glycoprotein conformations as it creates monoglucosylated glycans exclusively in not properly folded species or in not completely assembled complexes. The purpose of the review is to describe the most significant recent findings on the mechanism of glycoprotein folding and assembly quality control and to discuss the main still unanswered questions.  相似文献

Summary The interphase nucleus in theFunaria caulonema tip cells is associated with many non-cortical microtubules (Mts). In prophase, the cortical Mts disappear in the nuclear region; in contrast to moss leaflets, a preprophase band of Mts is not formed in the caulonema. The Mts of the early spindle are associated with the fragments of the nuclear envelope. Remnants of the nucleolus remain in the form of granular bodies till interphase. The metaphase chromosomes have distinct kinetochores; the kinetochore Mts are intermingled with non-kinetochore Mts running closely along the chromatin. Each kinetochore is associated with an ER cisterna. ER cisternae also accompany the spindle fibers in metaphase and anaphase. In telophase, Golgi vesicles accumulate in the periphery of the developing cell plate where no Mts are found. The reorientation of the cell plate into an oblique position can be inhibited by colchicine. It is concluded that the ER participates in controlling the Mt system, perhaps via calcium ions (membrane-bound calcium ions have been visualized by staining with chlorotetracycline) but that, on the other hand, the Mt system also influences the distribution of the ER. The occurrence and function of the preprophase band of Mts is discussed.  相似文献
