Gangliosides have generally been assumed to be localized primarily in the plasma membrane. Analysis of gangliosides from isolated subcellular membrane fractions of rat liver indicated that 76% of the total ganglioside sialic acid was present in the plasma membrane. Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum fractions, while containing only low levels of gangliosides on a protein basis, each contained approx. 10% of total ganglioside sialic acid. Gangliosides also were present in the Golgi apparatus and nuclear membrane fractions, and soluble gangliosides were in the supernatant. Individual gangliosides were non-homogeneously distributed and each membrane fraction was characterized by a unique ganglioside composition. Plasma membrane contained only 14 and 28% of the total GD1a and GD3, respectively, but 80-90% of the GM1, GD1b, GT1b and GQ1b. Endoplasmic reticulum, when corrected for plasma membrane contamination, contained only trace amounts of GM1, GD1b, GT1b and GQ1b, but 11 and 5% of the total GD1a and GD3, respectively. The ganglioside composition of highly purified endoplasmic reticulum was similar. Ganglioside biosynthetic enzymes were concentrated in the Golgi apparatus. However, low levels of these enzymes were present in the highly purified endoplasmic reticulum fractions. Pulse-chase experiments with [3H]galactose revealed that total gangliosides were labeled first in the Golgi apparatus, mitochondria and supernatant within 10 min. Labeled gangliosides were next observed at 30 min in the endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane and nuclear membrane fractions. Analysis of the individual gangliosides also revealed that GM3, GM1, GD1a and GD1b were labeled first in the Golgi apparatus at 10 min. These studies indicate that gangliosides synthesized in the Golgi apparatus may be transported not only to the plasma membrane, but to the endoplasmic reticulum and to other internal endomembranes as well. 相似文献

Glycosyltransferase activities of highly purified fractions of Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum, all from the same homogenates, were analyzed and compared. Additionally, Golgi apparatus were unstacked and the individual cisternae separated into fractions enriched in cis, median and trans elements using the technique of preparative free-flow electrophoresis. Golgi apparatus from both liver and hepatomas were enriched in all glycosyltransferases compared to endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membranes. However, Golgi apparatus from hepatomas showed both elevated fucosyltransferase and galactosyltransferase activities but reduced sialyltransferase and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) activities compared to liver. Activity of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase was approximately the same in both liver and hepatoma Golgi apparatus. With normal liver, sialyl- and galactosyltransferase activities and DPP IV showed a marked cis-to-trans gradient of activity. Fucosyltransferase was concentrated in two regions of the electrophoretic separations, one corresponding to cis cisternae and one corresponding to trans cisternae. N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity was more widely distributed but the endogenous acceptor activity was predominantly cis. With hepatoma Golgi apparatus, the pattern for DPP IV was similar to that for liver but those of sialyl- and galactosyltransferases differed markedly from liver. Instead of activity increasing cis to trans, the activities for sialyl- and galactosyltransferases decreased. For fucosyltransferases, activity dependent on exogenous acceptor was medial whereas with endogenous acceptor, two activity peaks, cis and trans, still were observed. For N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase the pattern for hepatoma was similar to that for liver. The results indicate alterations in the distribution of glycosyltransferase activities within the Golgi apparatus in hepatotumorigenesis that may reflect altered cell surface glycosylation patterns. 相似文献

Summary The donor and acceptor specificity of cell-free transfer of radiolabeled membrane constituents, chiefly lipids, was examined using purified fractions of endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, nuclei, plasma membrane, tonoplast, mitochondria, and chloroplasts prepared from green leaves of spinach. Donor membranes were radiolabeled with [14C]acetate. Acceptor membranes were unlabeled and immobilized on nitrocellulose filters. The assay was designed to measure membrane transfer resulting from ATP-and temperature-dependent formation of transfer vesicles by the donor fraction in solution and subsequent attachment and/or fusion of the transfer vesicles with the immobilized acceptor. When applied to the analysis of spinach fractions, significant ATP-dependent transfer in the presence of cytosol was observed only with endoplasmic reticulum as donor and Golgi apparatus as acceptor. Transfer in the reverse direction, from Golgi apparatus to endoplasmic reticulum, was only 0.2 to 0.3 that from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus. ATP-dependent transfers also were indicated between nuclei and Golgi apparatus from regression analysis of transfer kinetics. Specific transfer between Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane and, to a lesser extent, from plasma membrane to Golgi apparatus was observed at 25°C compared to 4°C but was not ATP plus cytosol-dependent. All other combinations of organelles and membranes exhibited no ATP plus cytosol-dependent transfer and only small increments of specific transfer comparing transfer at 37°C to transfer at 4°C. Thus, the only combinations of membranes capable of significant cell-free transfer in vitro were those observed by electron microscopy of cells and tissues to be involved in vesicular transport in vivo (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane, nuclear envelope). Of these, only with endoplasmic reticulum (or nuclear envelope) and Golgi apparatus, where transfer in situ is via 50 to 70 nm transition vesicles, was temperature-and ATP-dependent transfer of acetatelabeled membrane reproduced in vitro. Lipids transferred included phospholipids, mono-and diacylglycerols, and sterols but not triacylglycerols or steryl esters, raising the possibility of lipid sorting or processing to exclude transfer of triacylglycerols and steryl esters at the endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus step. 相似文献

The intracellular site of sphingomyelin (SM) synthesis was examined in subcellular fractions from rat liver using a radioactive ceramide analog N-([1-14C]hexanoyl)-D-erythro-sphingosine. This lipid readily transferred from a complex with bovine serum albumin to liver fractions without disrupting the membranes, and was metabolized to radioactive SM. To prevent degradation of the newly synthesized SM to ceramide, all experiments were performed in the presence of EDTA to minimize neutral sphingomyelinase activity and at neutral pH to minimize acid sphingomyelinase activity. An intact Golgi apparatus fraction gave an 85-98-fold enrichment of SM synthesis and a 58-83-fold enrichment of galactosyltransferase activity. Controlled trypsin digestion demonstrated that SM synthesis was localized to the lumen of intact Golgi apparatus vesicles. Although small amounts of SM synthesis were detected in plasma membrane and rough microsome fractions, after accounting for contamination by Golgi apparatus membranes, their combined activity contributed less than 13% of the total SM synthesis in rat liver. Subfractions of the Golgi apparatus were obtained and characterized by immunoblotting and biochemical assays using cis/medial (mannosidase II) and trans (sialyltransferase and galactosyltransferase) Golgi apparatus markers. The specific activity of SM synthesis was highest in enriched cis and medial fractions but far lower in a trans fraction. We conclude that SM synthesis in rat liver occurs predominantly in the cis and medial cisternae of the Golgi apparatus and not at the plasma membrane or endoplasmic reticulum as has been previously suggested. 相似文献

An enzyme that transfers sialic acid from GMP-sialic acid to lactosylceramide was concentrated 40-50 times in Golgi apparatus from rat liver relative to total homogenates. This enzyme required detergents as dispersing agents. Of the numerous detergents tested, the combination Tween 80-Triton CF-54 (1 : 2, w/w) was the most effective in stimulating the reaction. Two apparent pH optima, at 6.35 and 5.5, were observed. The enzyme showed no requirement for a divalent cation. The Km values calculated for CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid and lactosylceramide were 2.7 - 10(-3) and 1.3 - 10(-4) M, respectively. The enzyme could not be dissociated from Golgi apparatus fractions by treatment with ultrasound, indicating that it is tightly associated with the membrane. The newly synthesized GM3, the product of the reaction, was incorporated into or became tightly associated with the membranes of the Golgi apparatus. 相似文献

Purified fractions of plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, rough endoplasmic reticulum vesicles, nuclear envelope, and mitochondria were isolated from mouse liver and the distribution of H-2 histocompatibility antigens determined by indirect radioimmunoassay before and after membrane disruptive treatments. Fractions enriched in plasma membrane (surface membrane) revealed H-2 antigens in highest concentration; disruptive treatments were not necessary to reveal H-2 antigens with surface membranes. In contrast, internal membranes did not possess H-2 antigens which were accessible to antibody. Golgi apparatus fractions or some component of these fractions (e.g. secretory vesicles) possessed the antigens but in a latent form where accessibility was provided by simple rupture of the membrane vesicles. With endoplasmic reticulum, detergent solubilization of the membranes was required before H-2 antigen could be detected. Nuclear envelope preparations contained little or no demonstrable H-2 activity. These results were confirmed by several techniques including immunoprecipitation of labelled solubilized membrane components with anti-H-2 serum and subsequent analysis in SDS-PAGE. 相似文献

The subcellular distribution of the enzyme catalysing the conversion of retinyl phosphate and GDP-[14C]mannose into [14C]mannosyl retinyl phosphate was determined by using subcellular fractions of rat liver. Purity of fractions, as determined by marker enzymes, was 80% or better. The amount of mannosyl retinyl phosphate formed (pmol/min per mg of protein) for each fraction was: rough endoplasmic reticulum 0.48 +/- 0.09 (mean +/- S.D.); smooth membranes (consisting of 60% smooth endoplasmic reticulum and 40% Golgi apparatus), 0.18 +/- 0.03; Golgi apparatus, 0.13 +/- 0.03; and plasma membrane 0.02. 相似文献

The distribution of activities for synthesis of phosphatidylinositol among cell fractions from rat liver was determined. Activity was concentrated in endoplasmic reticulum; rough and smooth fractions were nearly equal. Golgi apparatus exhibited a biosynthetic rate 44% that of endoplasmic reticulum. Plasma membranes and mitochondrial fractions were only 6% as active as endoplasmic reticulum. Thus, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus fractions from rat liver catalyze the net synthesis of phosphatidylinositol in vitro, whereas plasma membrane and mitochondrial fractions do not. 相似文献

Nucleoside mono-, di- and triphosphatase activities of highly purified endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, and plasma membrane fractions of rat liver were compared. The highest rates of hydrolysis were always in ER or plasma membrane. Golgi apparatus activity was intermediate between those of ER and plasma membrane. This relationship was true for both freshly isolated fractions and salt-extracted membranes. Detergent solubilization of the membranes, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the solubilized proteins, and localization of the enzyme activities on the gel revealed bands of enzyme activity which had identical mobilities in all three membrane fractions as well as other bands of activity that occurred only in ER and to a lesser degree in the Golgi apparatus. Antibodies raised against one of the phosphatase bands of plasma membrane which was common to all three membrane fractions cross-reacted with the corresponding phosphatase band in ER and Golgi apparatus. The anti-nucleoside phosphatase was utilized in combination with pulse-chase techniques to investigate the flow kinetics of transfer of newly synthesized enzyme among different cell compartments. Label first appeared in nucleoside phosphatase within the ER. Maximum specific activity was observed at about 5 min after injection of label and was followed by rapid loss of label. This was followed by appearance of label in Golgi apparatus 15 to 25 min after injection of label and by subsequent rapid loss of label. Plasma membranes were labeled last with no evidence of either rapid accumulation of label or of rapid turnover. Flow of nucleoside phosphatase from its site of synthesis and insertion into the membrane at the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane via the Golgi apparatus is indicated but in a manner whereby a significant fraction of the protein may be processed (removed?) from the membrane concomitant with the flow process. 相似文献

Chicken liver plasma membranes, minimally contaminated with Golgi apparatus-derived vesicles, were prepared from a low-speed (400 g) pellet by means of flotation in isotonic Percoll solution, followed by a hypotonic wash and flotation in a discontinuous sucrose gradient. Based on the analysis of suitable marker enzymes, alkaline phosphatase and alkaline phosphodiesterase, two plasma membrane fractions were isolated with enrichments, depending on the equilibrium density and marker of 28-97 and with a total yield of 4-5%. Golgi apparatus fractions were prepared by flotation of microsomes, obtained from the same homogenate as the low-speed pellet, in a discontinuous sucrose gradient. The trans-Golgi marker galactosyltransferase was 27-fold enriched in a fraction of intermediate density (d=1.077-1.116 g/ml). Approximately 12% of galactosyltransferase was recovered in the membranes equilibrating d=1.031-1.148 g/ml. Contamination with plasma membrane fragments was low in the light (d=1.031-1.077 g/ml) and intermediate density Golgi vesicles. The isolation of purified plasma membranes and Golgi vesicles from one liver homogenate will enable future studies on receptor cycling between these cell organelles. 相似文献

Specific binding of insulin to highly purified preparations of rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and plasma membrane of mouse liver was determined. 125I-labeled insulin bound maximally to the plasma membrane in radio-receptor assays. Golgi apparatus fractions exhibited binding 10–20% that of plasma membrane and rough endoplasmic reticulum exhibited only 1–2% of plasma membrane binding. Binding was proportional to membrane concentration and dose vs. response curves were very similar for the different fractions. Scatchard analysis of the insulin binding data for the plasma membrane and Golgi apparatus fractions showed curvilinear plots yielding similar apparent binding affinities (0.9 and 3.0 · 108 M?1, respectively). Purity of the isolated endomembranes was analyzed by morphometry and (Na+ + K+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and these preparations displayed less than 1% contamination by plasma membrane. These findings provide important confirmation of the presence of insulin receptors in Golgi apparatus membranes comparable to those located on the plasma membrane. Finally, the present study did not allow us to verify the existence of insulin receptors in the endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

Fractions of plasma membranes, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and nuclear envelope were isolated from rat liver and were characterized by electron microsocpe and biochemical methods. The purity of the fractions was controlled by morphometry and by marker enzyme activities. Amounts of cytochromes b5, P-450, and P-420 were measured, as well as the NADPH- and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activities. The pigments of the microsomal electron transport system were found in all membrane fractions in relatively high amounts, thus excluding an origin by microsomal contamination. Purified preparations of plasma membrane and Golgi apparatus contained approximately 30% of the cytochrome b5 and cytochrome P-450 + P-420 found in ER membranes. Plasma membranes were also characterized by a high ratio of P-420/450. Degradation of cytochromes P-450 and P-420 was relatively rapid in all fractions, except in the ER. Cytochrome b5 extracted from plasma membranes was spectrophotometrically and enzymatically indistinguishable from ER cytochrome b5. However, immunnlogical characterization with rabbit antibodies against the trypsin-resistant core of microsomal cytochrome b5 showed the presence of at least two types of cytochrome b5 in ER membranes, in contrast to the plasma membranes in which only one of these components was detected. This immunological differentiation also demonstrates that the plasma membrane-bound cytochrome b5 is endogenous to this membrane and does not reflect contamination by ER elements. We conclude that cytochromes b5, P-450, and P-420 are not confined only to ER and nuclear membranes but also occur in signficant amounts in Golgi apparatus and plasma membranes. The findings are discussed in relation to observations of similar redox components in Golgi apparatus, secretory vesicles, and plasma membranes of other cells. 相似文献

Glycolipid composition of purified plasma membranes from rat ascites hepatomas, two island-forming cell-lines and two cell-lines of the free-type, and normal rat liver were compared. Ceramide monohexoside (CMH), ceramide dihexoside (CDH), and hematoside (GM3) were found in normal rat liver cell membranes. The island-type hepatomas contained ceramide trihexoside (CTh) and globoside besides CMH, CDH, and GM3. The free-type of hepatomas were characterized by the presence of asialo-type gangliosides but not GM3. The free-type of hepatomas were characterized by the presence of asialo-type gangliosides but not GM3. Blood group H active fucolipid was a major glycolipid in the free-type of ascites hepatoma cell (AH 7974 F). The increase of glycolipid content in cell membranes seemed to be accompanied with a decrease of cell adhesiveness. 相似文献

In order to clarify the mechanisms of ganglioside biosynthesis and transport we intravenously administered a liposomal dispersion of radiolabelled lactosylceramide (LacCer) to rats and then followed the time course of the individual gangliosides which became radioactive in the Golgi-apparatus and plasma-membrane fractions prepared from the liver. After administration of radiolabelled LacCer the liver retained a substantial amount of radioactivity, which was distributed among an organic phase (mainly residual LacCer), a fraction containing low-Mr substances (mainly 3H2O) and a ganglioside fraction. The hepatocytes were found to provide the bulk of gangliosides biosynthesized from exogenous LacCer. After subcellular fractionation, the total radioactive gangliosides increased in the Golgi apparatus up to 8 h, to then decrease and practically disappear at 24 h; in the plasma membranes they were progressively concentrated, accounting for high absolute values. Ganglioside patterns were greatly modified with time in both the Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane, but without significant differences between them. Biosynthesis in the Golgi apparatus and accumulation in the plasma membrane of each individual ganglioside followed a precursor-product relationship. The obtained results indicated that once a ganglioside is biosynthesized in the Golgi apparatus, it is in part made available for translocation to the plasma membrane, which rapidly occurs, and is in part retained in the Golgi apparatus, where it acts as a precursor for the biosynthesis of more glycosylated gangliosides. 相似文献

Golgi apparatus isolated from both rat liver and rat kidney have been characterized with respect to their neutral and phospholipid content and their phosphopipid composition and compared with mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membranes. In addition, the distribution of sulfatide in the subcellular fractions of rat kidney was determinich are rich in cholesterol esters and ubiquinone. Removal of about 75% of the cisternal contents of rat liver Golgi reduced its content of cholesterol esters but not of ubiquinone. The Golgi complex of liver most closely resembles endoplasmic reticulum in its phospholipid composition except for a higher content of sphingomyelin. Removal of most of the contents of the Golgi cisternae did not appreciably alter the phospholipid composition of the Golgi apparatus of liver. Goligi apparatus from kidney has a phospholipid composition which resembles liver Golgi much more closely than it does any other cell fraction from kidney. The sulfatide content of kidney Golgi, the cell fraction richest in this glycolipid, is about 14% of the total lipid present in this fraction. Sulfatide was present in plasma membranes, mitochondria and rough microsomes, but at about one-third the level found in Golgi. Sulfatide is the main glycosphingolipid present in all the cell fractions from kidney which were studied. 相似文献

To study the assembly of newly synthesized lipids with apoprotein A1, we administered [2-3H]glycerol to young chickens and determined the hepatic intracellular sites of lipid synthesis and association of nascent lipids with apoprotein A1. [2-3H]glycerol was rapidly incorporated into hepatic lipids, reaching maximal levels at 5 min, and this preceded the appearance of lipid radioactivity in the plasma. The liver was fractionated into rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi cell fractions. The isolated cell fractions were further subfractionated into membrane and soluble (content) fractions by treatment with 0.1 M Na2CO3, pH 11.3. At various times, the lipid radioactivity was measured in each of the intracellular organelles, in immunoprecipitable apoprotein A1, and in materials that floated at buoyant densities similar to those of plasma lipoproteins. Maximal incorporation occurred at 1 min in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, at 3-5 min in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, and at 5 min in the Golgi cell fractions. The majority (66-93%) of radioactive glycerol was incorporated into triglycerides with smaller (4-27%) amounts into phospholipids. About 80% of the lipid radioactivity in the endoplasmic reticulum and 70% of that in the Golgi cell fractions was in the membranes. The radioactive lipids in the content subfraction were distributed in various density classes with most nascent lipids floating at a density less than or equal to 1.063 g/ml. Apoprotein A1 from the Golgi apparatus, obtained by immunoprecipitation, contained sixfold more nascent lipids than did that from the endoplasmic reticulum. These data indicate that [2-3H]glycerol is quickly incorporated into lipids of the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi cell fractions, that most of the nascent lipids are conjugated with apoproteins A1 in the Golgi apparatus, and that very little association of nascent lipid to apoprotein A1 occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

Procedures to isolate plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum from a single homogenate of mouse liver are described. Fractions contain low levels of contaminating membranes as determined from morphometry and analyses of marker enzymes. The method requires only 2–3 gm of liver as starting material and yields approximately 0.7, 0.7, and 0.5 mg protein/gm liver, respectively, for endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and plasma membrane. Golgi apparatus fractions show high levels of galactosyltransferase activity and consist of cisternal stacks and associated secretory vesicles and tubules. Endoplasmic reticulum fractions are enriched in both glucose-6-phosphatase and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced) (NADPH)-cytochrome c reductase and contain membrane vesicles with attached ribosomes. K+-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase and (Na+ K+) adenosine triphosphatase activity are enriched in the plasma membrane fraction. This fraction consists of membrane sheets, many with junctional complexes, and bile canaliculi that are representative of the total hepatocyte plasma membrane. The fractionation procedure is designed to utilize small amounts of tissue (e.g., with liver slices), to reduce the total time required for fractionation, and to permit comparisons of constituents of plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum prepared from the same starting homogenates. 相似文献

Adenylate cyclase activity was detected in plasma membranes, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum from rat liver. Adenylate cyclase activities of purified membranes were determined biochemically by two methods. In one, the synthesis of radioactive cyclic AMP from ATalpha32P was monitored. In the other, the synthesis of cyclic AMP was quantitiated using a protein which specifically binds cyclic AMP. The enzyme activity was responsive to activation by both glucagon and sodium fluoride although differences in degree of activation were noted comparing plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum. Cytochemical studies, using both whole tissue and purified cell fractions and conducted in parallel, confirmed the biochemical results. Deposition of lead phosphate, enhanced by glucagon and NaF with samples incubated with appropriate substrates, was not restricted to plasma membranes of hepatocytes but was present in intracellular membranes as well. Adenylate cyclase of rat hepatocytes appears more widely distributed among internal membranes than previously recognized. 相似文献

Preparations enriched in part-smooth (lacking ribosomes), part-rough (with ribosomes) transitional elements of the endoplasmic reticulum when incubated with ATP plus a cytosol fraction responded by the formation of blebbing profiles and approximately 60-nm vesicles. The 60-nm vesicles formed resembled closely transition vesicles in situ considered to function in the transfer of membrane materials between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. The transition elements following incubation with ATP and cytosol were resolved by preparative free-flow electrophoresis into fractions of differing electronegativity. The main fraction contained the larger vesicles of the transitional membrane elements, while a less electronegative minor shoulder fraction was enriched in the 60-nm vesicles. If the vesicles concentrated by preparative free-flow electrophoresis were from material previously radiolabeled with [3H]leucine and then added to Golgi apparatus immobilized to nitrocellulose, radioactivity was transferred to the Golgi apparatus membranes. The transfer was rapid (T1/2 of about 5 min), efficient (10-30% of the total radioactivity of the transition vesicle preparations was transferred to Golgi apparatus), and independent of added ATP but facilitated by cytosol. Transfer was specific and apparently unidirectional in that Golgi apparatus membranes were ineffective as donor membranes and endoplasmic reticulum vesicles were ineffective as recipient membranes. Using a heterologous system with transition vesicles from rat liver and Golgi apparatus isolated from guinea pig liver, coalescence of the small endoplasmic reticulum-derived vesicles with Golgi apparatus membranes was demonstrated using immunocytochemistry. Employed were polyclonal antibodies directed against the isolated rat transition vesicle preparations. When localized by immunogold procedures at the electron microscope level, regions of rat-derived vesicles were found fused with cisternae of guinea pig Golgi apparatus immobilized to nitrocellulose strips. Membrane transfer was demonstrated from experiments where transition vesicle membrane proteins were radioiodinated by the Bolton-Hunter procedure. Additionally, radiolabeled peptide bands not present initially in endoplasmic reticulum appeared following coalescence of the derived vesicles with Golgi apparatus. These bands, indicative of processing, required that both Golgi apparatus and transition vesicles be present and did not occur in incubated endoplasmic reticulum preparations or on nitrocellulose strips to which no Golgi apparatus were added.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献
