Freeze-fracture electron microscopy was used to investigate intramembranous particle (IMP) densities and particle distributions in the plasma membrane and tonoplast of the cells of secreting and nonsecreting leaves of Avicennia germinans (L.) Steam. Intramembranous particle densities of the protoplasmic (P) and exoplasmic (E) face of the plasma membrane and tonoplast were significantly higher in hypodermal cells of secreting leaves than of nonsecreting leaves. In contrast, no significant differences in the frequency of intramembranous particles were found in any membrane faces of secreting or nonsecreting mesophyll cells. However, particle densities were higher in the plasma membrane and tonoplast of the mesophyll cells, compared to the hypodermal cells, with the exception of the P-face of hypodermal plasma membranes of secreting tissue, which had the highest particle density measured. Particle distributions were dispersed and no discernible patterns such as paracrystalline arrays or other multi-IMP structures were observed. Results support the hypothesis that secretion is coupled to changes in membrane ultrastructure, and the possibility that salt secretion is an active process driven by integral membrane proteins such as the H+/ATPase. Additionally, the hypodermal cells of the leaf may function as storage reservoirs for salt as well as water, suggesting a regulatory role in salt secretion. 相似文献

The capitate-sessile and capitate-stalked glands of the glandular secretory system in Cannabis, which are interpreted as lipophilic type glandular hairs, were studied from floral bracts of pistillate plants. These glands develop a flattened multicellular disc of secretory cells, which with the extruded secretory product forms the gland head and the auxiliary cells which support the gland head. The secretory product accumulates beneath a sheath derived from separation of the outer wall surface of the cellular disc. The ultrastructure of secretory cells in pre-secretory stages is characterized by a dense ground plasm, transitory lipid bodies and fibrillar material, and well developed endoplasmic reticulum. Dictyosomes and dictyosome-derived secretory vesicles are present, but never abundant. Secretory stages of gland development are characterized by abundant mitochondria and leucoplasts and by a large vacuolar system. Production of the secretory product is associated with plastids which increase in number and structural complexity. The plastids develop a paracrystalline body which nearly fills the mature plastid. Material interpreted as a secretion appears at the surface of plastids, migrates, and accumulates along the cell surface adjoining the secretory cavity. Extrusion of the material into the secretory cavity occurs directly through the plasma membrane-cell wall barrier. 相似文献

The paired tubular accessory glands in Haemaphysalis longicornis open at the junction of the cervical and the vestibular parts of vagina via short and narrow ducts. The pseudostratified columnar glandular epithelium covered by the muscle layer consists of both secretory and supporting cells. As feeding proceeds, the secretory cells increase in volume. In ovipositing females, well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi complex, and membranebound granules that are undergoing exocytosis suggest that the secretory cells are involved in protein synthesis. However, in virgin females that fed 10 days, only small dense granules and no secretion activity were observed. The secretions from the tubular accessory gland may be released into the genital tract during the egg passage through the vagina. However, the supporting cells located between the secretory cells become slender during feeding, cohere to each other at the luminal side, and have a very narrow attachment at the basement membrane. Supporting cells probably help maintain secretory cell shape especially during granular discharge into the lumen. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Cephalaspideans are a group of opisthobranch gastropods that comprises carnivorous and herbivorous species, allowing an investigation of the relationship between these diets and the morphofunctional features of the salivary glands. In this study, the salivary glands of the carnivorous cephalaspidean Philinopsis depicta were observed by light and electron microscopy. The secretory epithelium of these ribbon-shaped glands is formed by ciliated cells, granular cells and cells with apical vacuole. In ciliated cells the nucleus and most cytoplasmic organelles are located in the wider apical region and a very thin stalk reaches the base of the epithelium. These cells possess significant amounts of glycogen. Granular cells are packed with electron-dense secretory granules and also contain several cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi stacks. The other type of secretory cell is mainly characterized by the presence of a large apical vacuole containing secretion. These cells possess high amounts of rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae and several Golgi stacks. Vesicles with peripheral electron-dense material are also abundant, and seem to fuse to form the apical vacuole. The available data point out to a significant difference between the salivary glands of carnivorous and herbivorous cephalaspidean opisthobranchs, with an intensification of protein secretion in carnivorous species. 相似文献

Summary The extrafloral nectary ofAcacia terminalis is of the flat type and is located on the adaxial surface of the petiole of the bipinnate leaf. The secretory area is restricted to the base of the trough and no gaps or pores were detected by staining with vital dyes. Between the vascular bundles beneath the nectary and the surface cuticle there were three cell types. The cells of the flanking zone adjacent to the vascular bundles did not appear to be producing secretion whereas the cells of the glandular and secretory zones were secreting. The cells of the glandular zone were elongated whereas those of the surface secretory zone were spherical. Both had endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies with secretory vesicles which were observed in close association with the plasmalemma. Secretion accumulated in the intercellular spaces of the glandular zone cells and forced the cells of the secretory zone apart. Symplastic contact was maintained in all cell types by plasmodesmata which were often associated with endoplasmic reticulum. Secretion accumulated beneath the cuticle which was distended but remained intact on the surface of the secretion. 相似文献

Cells in secretory glands of globiferous pedicellariae from Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (Stimpson) were studied with the electron microscope and subjected to preliminary light microscopic, histochemical analysis. Specimens for electron microscopic observation were fixed with chilled 2% glutaraldehyde in sea water postfixed in cold 1.33% osmic acid, and embedded in Araldite 502 epoxy resin Samples for histochemical analysis were fixed in the same manner, and then embedded in n-butylmethacrylate. Secretory cells line and fill partially bifurcated, muscular gland sacs located peripherally on each of three jaw elements comprising the pedicellarial head. Cells from venom glands are typically mucoid in appearance, possessing small volumes of basally displaced, vesiculated cytoplasm and an extensive system of vacuoles dominating the apical nine-tenths of each cell. These vacuoles enclose ground substances of various densities and staining affinities. Despite their extensive vacuolation, gland cells contain numerous cytomembrane complexes indicating metabolic activity just prior to fixation. Deciduous endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complexes, large vacuoles, and various species of vesicles associated with these membrane systems are found in spatial proximity which indicates an apparent biosynthetic association. Preliminary histochemical tests on sections embedded in acrylic plastic indicate vacuolar products may consist of protein and nonsulfated acid mucosubstances. Gland cells are probably holocrine in function, releasing their vacuolar complement upon constriction of the muscular gland sac. There is no evidence indicating delivery of non-membrane bounded, granular secretion to an acellular lumen within the gland sac. 相似文献

Leaf glands of Diplopterys pubipetala were studied with light and electron microscopy. Aspects of their secretion, visitors and phenology were also recorded. Glands occur along the margin, at the apex and at the base of the leaf blade. All the glands begin secretion when the leaf is still very young, and secretion continues during leaf expansion. The highest proportion of young leaves coincides with the beginning of flowering. The glucose‐rich secretion is collected by Camponotus ants, which patrol the newly formed vegetative and reproductive branches. All the glands are sessile, partially set into the mesophyll, and present uniseriate epidermis subtended by nonvascularised parenchyma. The glands at the apex and base are larger and also consist of vascularised subjacent parenchyma. The cytoplasm of epidermal and parenchyma cells has abundant mitochondria, polymorphic plastids filled with oil droplets and a few starch grains. Golgi bodies and endoplasmic reticulum are more abundant in the epidermal cells. The parenchyma cells of the subjacent region contain chloroplasts and large vacuoles. Plasmodesmata connect all the nectary cells. The zinc iodide–osmium tetroxide (ZIO) method revealed differences in the population of organelles between epidermal cells, as well as between epidermal cells and parenchyma cells. Ultrastructural results indicate that leaf glands of D. pubipetala can be classified as mixed secretory glands. However, the secretion released by these glands is basically hydrophilic and composed primarily of sugars, hence these glands function as nectaries. 相似文献

The morphology and the ultrastructure of the male accessory glands and ejaculatory duct of Ceratitis capitata were investigated. There are two types of glands in the reproductive apparatus. The first is a pair of long, mesoderm-derived tubules with binucleate, microvillate secretory cells, which contain smooth endoplasmic reticulum and, in the sexually mature males, enlarged polymorphic mitochondria. The narrow lumen of the gland is filled with dense or sometimes granulated secretion, containing lipids. The second type consists of short ectoderm-derived glands, finger-like or claviform shaped. Despite the different shape of these glands, after a cycle of maturation, their epithelial cells share a large subcuticular cavity filled with electron-transparent secretion. The ejaculatory duct, lined by cuticle, has epithelial cells with a limited involvement in secretory activity. Electrophoretic analysis of accessory gland secretion reveals different protein profiles for long tubular and short glands with bands of 16 and 10 kDa in both types of glands. We demonstrate that a large amount of accessory gland secretion is depleted from the glands after 30 min of copulation. 相似文献

Summary The floral nectary ofPisum sativum L. is situated on the receptacle at the base of the gynoecium. The gland receives phloem alone which departed the vascular bundles supplying the staminal column. Throughout the nectary, only the companion cells of the phloem exhibited wall ingrowths typical of transfer cells. Modified stomata on the nectary surface served as exits for nectar, but stomatal pores developed well before the commencement of secretion. Furthermore, stomatal pores on the nectary usually closed by occlusion, not by guard-cell movements. Pore occlusion was detected most frequently in post-secretory and secretory glands, and less commonly in pre-secretory nectaries. A quantitative stereological study revealed few changes in nectary fine structure between buds, flowers secreting nectar, and post-secretory flowers. Dissolution of abundant starch grains in plastids of subepidermal secretory cells when secretion commenced suggests that starch is a precursor of nectar carbohydrate production. Throughout nectary development, mitochondria were consistently the most plentiful organelle in both epidermal and subepidermal cells, and in addition to the relative paucity of dictyosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and their associated vesicles, the evidence suggests that floral nectar secretion inP. sativum is an energy-requiring (eccrine) process, rather that granulocrine.Abbreviations ER

Shape changes in the endoplasmic reticulum control fundamental cell processes including nuclear envelope assembly in mitotic cells, calcium homeostasis in cytoplasmic domains of secreting and motile cells, and membrane traffic in the early secretion apparatus between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. Opposing forces of assembly (membrane fusion) and disassembly (membrane fragmentation) ultimately determine the size and shape of this organelle. This review examines some of the regulatory mechanisms involved in these processes and how they occur at specific sites or subcompartments of the endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

Changes in the ultrastructure of epithelial cells from long hyaline glands of male Melanoplus sanguinipes (Fabr.) (Orthoptera : Acrididae) have been examined during sexual maturation and after allatectomy. In newly emerged males, the long hyaline gland epithelium is composed of 1–3 cell layers. The cells contain almost no rough endoplasmic reticulum, inconspicuous Golgi complexes, and large numbers of free ribosomes and polysomes. Within 24 hr, the cells undergo considerable reorganization to form a 1-cell-thick layer. Changes in cytostructure include proliferation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the development of several elaborate Golgi complexes. The developing lumen contains a coarse fibrous material. By 3 days postemergence, columnar epithelial cells are clearly capable of considerable synthesis and export of secretory protein. Rough endoplasmic reticulum, and large, elaborate Golgi complexes are the major structural features of the cytoplasm. From day 3 to sexual maturity (day 7), no major ultrastructural changes occur, although massive accumulation of secretion in the lumen causes the epithelium to become cuboidal or flattened. Isoelectric focusing of soluble proteins from long hyaline gland secretions shows that maturing glands contain increasing numbers and quantities of secretory proteins.Allatectomy has minor effects on long hyaline gland ultrastructure. A reduction in the density of rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes suggests that glands from operated males are metabolically less active. This is confirmed by qualitative and quantitative changes in the amount of secretion as revealed by isoelectric focusing. The observations are discussed in terms of the juvenile hormone control of long hyaline gland maturation. 相似文献

Prolactin secreting cells are identified in thepars distalis of Mus platythrix by conventional methods of light and electron microscopy. Two types of prolactin secreting cells are recognised. These types are estrone-sensitive, mammotrophic type I, and luteotrophic type II, respectively. Histochemical analysis revealed that the cells are rich in RNA, basic proteins, alkaline phosphatase and are resistant to extraction with 0·5% trichloroacetic acid. Quantitative data showed that the prolactin secreting cells increase during pregnancy, lactation and estrone treatment. Estrone at low dose levels caused immense hyperplasia whereas at higher levels there was no corresponding increase in the percentage of type I cells. Ultrastructurally, prolactin secreting cells are characterised by the presence of stacked endoplasmic reticulum, oval or irregular secretory granules. The Golgi apparatus is seen rich in vacuolar system. 相似文献

An electron microscopic study of the acinar cells of the submaxillary salivary glands of white rats]
Numerous rows of rough endoplasmic reticulum, large Golgi apparatus with condensation vacuoles and other ultrastructures typical for secreting cells of the exocrine type (secretory granules, smooth and covered vesicles, lysosomes, microtubules, mitochondria) were found in glandular acinar cells of the submaxillary salivary glands of albino rats. The substantial features of the given object are: firstly, low electron density of the content of the secretory granules which seems to be connected with high content of polysaccharides in the secretion and secondly, the presence of special inclusions covered with a typical three-layer membrane. The latter together with the rest of the content of the granules may come into the lumen of the central duct of the acinus and intercellular secretory capillaries. 相似文献

The unusual idiosomal glands of a water mite Teutonia cometes (Koch 1837) were examined by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy as well as on semi-thin sections. One
pair of these glands is situated ventrally in the body cavity of the idiosoma. They run posteriorly from the terminal opening
(distal end) on epimeres IV and gradually dilate to their proximal blind end. The terminal opening of each gland is armed
with the two fine hair-like mechanoreceptive sensilla (‘pre-anal external’ setae). The proximal part of the glands is formed
of columnar secretory epithelium with a voluminous central lumen containing a large single ‘globule’ of electron-dense secretory
material. The secretory gland cells contain large nuclei and intensively developed rough endoplasmic reticulum. Secretory
granules of Golgi origin are scattered throughout the cell volume in small groups and are discharged from the cells into the
lumen between the scarce apical microvilli. The distal part of the glands is formed of another cell type that is not secretory.
These cells are composed of narrow strips of the cytoplasm leaving the large intracellular vacuoles. A short excretory cuticular
duct formed by special excretory duct cells connects the glands with the external medium. At the base of the terminal opening
a cuticular funnel strengthens the gland termination. At the apex of this funnel a valve prevents back-flow of the extruded
secretion. These glands, as other dermal glands of water mites, are thought to play a protective role and react to external
stimuli with the help of the hair-like sensilla. 相似文献

The biosynthesis and processing of the vacuolar (lysosomal) acid trehalase (molecular mass about 220 kDa) was followed in vivo using mutants conditionally defective in the secretory pathway. A precursor of 41 kDa was found in sec61 mutant cells deficient in translocation of secretory protein precursors into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Endoglycosidase H and N-glycosidase F treatment of purified acid trehalase in vitro resulted in a 41 kDa band, indicating that the precursor form found in sec61 mutant cells corresponds to the carbohydrate-free form of the enzyme. sec 18 mutant cells, blocked in the delivery of secretory proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi body accumulate a form with a molecular mass of 76 kDa which probably corresponds to a partially glycosylated precursor of the mature acid trehalase. This precursor partially disappears in favour of the appearance of a higher molecular weight component of 180 kDa in sec7 mutants which are blocked in the delivery step of secretory proteins from the Golgi body to the vacuole. In wild-type cells the fully glycosylated mature form of acid trehalase of about 220 kDa was observed accompanied by some 180 kDa and 76 kDa material. 相似文献

The enemy within: ricin and plant cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Ricin, a ribosome-inactivating protein from the seeds of the castor oil
plant (Ricinus communis L.) is one of the most potent
cell poisons known. It is able to bind and enter most mammalian cells where
it exploits their fully reversible secretory pathway to reach the
endoplasmic reticulum. Ricin is then able to exit the endoplasmic reticulum
to access the cytosol where it inhibits protein synthesis, thus killing the
cells. Castor bean ribosomes are sensitive to ricin, but the plant has
developed strategies to protect its own cells from suicide. The
intracellular routing of ricin has been traditionally studied by
exogenously adding toxin to mammalian cells and by following its path
through the cell. However, the extreme potency of this protein has
prevented the final membrane transport step from being studied in detail.
Now, the expression of ricin in heterologous plant cells is providing
helpful in elucidating details of both toxin biosynthesis and vacuolar
targeting, and in studying membrane translocation of the catalytic subunit
from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol.Keywords:
Ricin, ribosome-inactivating protein, castor oil plant, seeds,

The endocytic routes of labelled lectins as well as cationic ferritin were studied in cells with a regulated secretion, i.e.
pancreatic beta cells, and in constitutively secreting cells, i.e. fibroblasts and HepG2 hepatoma cells, paying particular
attention to routes into the Golgi apparatus. Considerable amounts of internalised molecules were taken up into the trans
Golgi network (TGN) and into Golgi subcompartments in all three cell types as well as in secretory granules of the pancreatic
beta cells. The internalised materials did not pass rapidly the TGN and Golgi stacks, but were still present hours after internalisation,
being then particularly concentrated in TGN-elements and in the transmost Golgi cisterna. Endocytosed materials reached forming
secretory granules present in the TGN. Further, direct fusion between endocytotic vesicles and mature secretory granules was
observed. Golgi subcompartments as well as endocytic TGN containing endocytosed materials were in close apposition to specialised
regions of the endoplasmic reticulum. The Golgi apparatus including its parts containing endocytosed materials were transformed
into a tubular reticulum upon treatment with the fungal metabolite Brefeldin A. Rarely, internalised material was observed
in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, thus providing evidence for an endocytic plasma membrane to endoplasmic reticulum
route.

Membranous organelles, acid glycoconjugates and lipids were characterized in the digestive tract mucosa of Hemisorubim platyrhynchos by cytochemistry techniques. Two types of mucous‐secreting cells were observed in the digestive tract epithelium: goblet cells in the oesophagus and intestine and epithelial cells in the stomach. These cells had a Golgi apparatus more developed than the other cell types. The cytochemical analysis revealed that secretory granules are reactive to acid glycoconjugates, varying in reaction intensity according to the region of the digestive tract. Acid glycoconjugate reactions were also observed in oesophageal epithelial cell microridges and in enterocyte microvilli. In the digestive tract, acid glycoconjugates act to protect the epithelial surface, increasing mucous viscosity, which facilitates the passage of food, prevents the binding of parasites and facilitates their removal. Through lipid staining, a coated membrane was observed around each secretory granule of the oesophageal and intestinal goblet cells, while gastric epithelial cells granules were fully reactive. Oxynticopeptic cells of the gastric glands showed lipid droplets in the cytoplasm and also in the mitochondrial matrix, which act as an energy reserve for these cells that have a high energy demand. Enterocytes showed a well‐developed smooth endoplasmic reticulum, especially in the apical region of the cell, being related to absorption and resynthesis of lipids. 相似文献

The ultrastructure of the parathyroid glands of adult Japanese lizards (Takydromus tachydromoides) in the spring and summer season was examined. The parenchyma of the gland consists of chief cells arranged in cords or solid masses. Many chief cells contain numerous free ribosomes and mitochondria, well-developed Golgi complexes, a few lysosome-like bodies, some multivesicular bodies and relatively numerous lipid droplets. The endoplasmic reticulum is mainly smooth-surfaced. Cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum are distributed randomly in the cytoplasm. Small coated vesicles of 700-800 Å in diameter are found occasionally in the cytoplasm, especially in the Golgi region. The chief cells contain occasional secretory granules of 150-300 nm in diameter that are distributed randomly in the cytoplasm and lie close to the plasma membrane. Electron dense material similar to the contents of the secretory granules is observed in the enlarged intercellular space. These findings suggest that the secretory granules may be discharged into the intercellular space by an eruptocrine type of secretion. Coated vesicles (invaginations) connected to the plasma membrane and smooth vesicles arranged in a row near the plasma membrane are observed. It is suggested that such coated vesicles may take up extracellular proteins. The accumulation of microfilaments is sometimes recognized. Morphological evidence of synthetic and secretory activities in the chief cells suggests active parathyroid function in the Japanese lizard during the spring and summer season. 相似文献

Summary The midgut epithelium of the larval dragonfly Aeshna cyanea consists of four types of differentiated cells, which all display secretory activity. Pure secretory cells are the mucocytes and two morphologically distinguishable types of endocrine cells, while the enterocytes exert the dual function of secretion and absorption. Both functions can be performed more or less synchronously; however, appropriate feeding and starvation experiments can stress one function over the other. The heaviest accumulation of secretion granules was observed after a few days of starvation following a long period of regular feeding. Then the enterocytes resembled typical protein-secreting exocrine gland cells. It is still unknown whether the two main secretions, namely digestive enzymes and peritrophic membrane material, are jointly or separately distributed in the secretion granules. The morphological findings suggest that the secretory products follow the same cisternal pathway via endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, membrane-bound storage granules and exocytotic extrusion that is well established for the exocrine pancreas of vertebrates. The routes of protein secretion and lipid absorption through the enterocytes of Aeshna are discussed in comparison with the enterocytes and mammocytes of vertebrates.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. K.E.
