The gastrodermal Golgi apparatus of adult Schistosoma mansoni displays two distinct morphologies. In one type, there is an identifiable cis (forming) face where vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum fuse to form the cisternae. A morphological change occurs in the cisternae as the trans (emitting) face is approached with the cisternae becoming progressively flattened. The cisternae at the emitting face produce a membrane-bound secretory granule with moderately electron-dense contents and a vacuolar structure that may be analogous to a condensing vacuole as reported in several vertebrate secretory cells. In a second type, vesicles possessing a thicker membrane than those of the transfer vesicles are observed at the emitting face. They are not observed when the secretory granules are present. Several cytochemical markers were used to aid in studying the polarity of the Golgi apparatus. Enzymes studied were thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) (EC 3.6.1.1), nucleoside diphosphatase (NDPase) (EC 3.6.1.6) using uridine diphosphate as a substrate, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphatase (NADPase) (EC 3.1.3.2). Reaction products from all enzyme markers were observed in the cisternae and, to some extent, in the transfer vesicles. At times, NADPase and TPPase reaction products were observed in all cisternae and in the transfer vesicles of the Golgi. When this distribution was evident, the latter vesicles were observed in clusters occasionally fusing with lipid-like globules dispersed throughout the gastrodermis. Heterogeneity in cisternae was observed when NDPase, TPPase, and osmium reduction techniques were used. NDPase activity was limited to the middle cisternae while reduced osmium was observed in the outer two cisternae and in some transfer vesicles. TPPase reaction product was also observed in the secretory granules and in the condensing vacuoles. It is hypothesized that a functional bipolarity may be demonstrated by the Golgi. Under certain stress conditions, the forming face of the Golgi may package lysosomal enzymes while the emitting region of the Golgi appears to be responsible for the packaging of the secretory granules. The fusion of transfer vesicles and, at times, secretory granules with lipid-like globules is postulated to represent a mechanism by which enzymes may be transported to the lumen of the cecum.  相似文献

Mannose-6-phosphate (Man-6-P) receptors for lysosomal enzymes were localized by immunocytochemistry in several secretory and adsorptive cell types using monospecific antireceptor antibodies. By immunofluorescence, the receptors were found in the Golgi region of polarized cells. When localized by immunoperoxidase at the electron microscope level, they were detected in Golgi cisternae, coated vesicles, endosomes, and lysosomes of all cell types examined (hepatocytes, exocrine pancreatic and epididymal epithelia). Within the Golgi complex, immunoreactive receptors were restricted in their distribution to one or two cisternae on the cis side of the Golgi stacks. They were not detected in trans Golgi or GERL cisternae. Based on their high concentration of Man-6-P receptors, we propose that the cis Golgi cisternae represent the site where the secretory and lysosomal pathways diverge: lysosomal enzymes bearing the Man-6-P recognition marker bind to Man-6-P receptors in this location and are delivered to endosomes and lysosomes via coated vesicles.  相似文献

The osteoclast is a polarized cell which secretes large amounts of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes into an apical extracellular lacuna where bone resorption takes place. Using immunocytochemical techniques, we have localized the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate (Man6P) receptor and lysosomal enzymes in this cell type in order to determine the expression and distribution of this receptor and its ligands. The results demonstrate that the osteoclast expresses large amounts of immunoreactive cation-independent Man6P receptors, despite the fact that most of the lysosomal enzymes it synthesizes are secreted. The lysosomal enzymes and the receptors are co-distributed along the exocytic pathway, i.e., the endoplasmic reticulum, including the perinuclear envelope, the Golgi stacks as well as numerous small transport vesicles that appear to fuse with the ruffled border membrane. Within the Golgi complex, the receptors and lysosomal enzymes were found distributed in two predominant patterns; (a) in all the cisternae, from cis to trans, or (b) predominantly in cis- and trans-Golgi cisternae, with the middle Golgi cisternae being unstained or depleted in antigen. This pattern suggests that enzymes and receptors traverse the Golgi from cis to trans and preferentially accumulate in cis- and in trans-cisternae. This study therefore suggests that, in the osteoclast, Man6P receptors are involved in the vectorial transport and targeting of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes, presumably via a constitutive pathway, to the apical membrane where they are secreted into the bone-resorbing compartment. This mechanism could insure polarized secretion of lysosomal enzymes into the bone-resorbing lacuna.  相似文献

Golgi apparatus of livers of rats receiving 60 mg/100 g body weight all-trans retinol (vitamin A) in olive oil responded by a reproducible and significant increase both in the number of cisternae per Golgi apparatus stack and in the number of transition vesicles of the cis Golgi apparatus face compared to rats receiving olive oil alone as determined by quantitation from electron micrographs. These vesicles were identified by a simple, non-clathrin coat, a uniform diameter of about 60 nm and a location primarily in association with cis Golgi apparatus elements. They were distinct from clathrin-coated vesicles of the trans Golgi apparatus face which was unaffected by vitamin A treatment. Transition vesicles may be involved in the transfer of membrane materials to the Golgi apparatus from endoplasmic reticulum.  相似文献

Subfractionation of rat liver Golgi apparatus by free-flow electrophoresis   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Using the technique of preparative free-flow electrophoresis, cisternae of unstacked rat liver Golgi apparatus were separated into a series of fractions of increasing content of sialic acid, thiamine pyrophosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase, markers regarded as being concentrated toward the mature Golgi apparatus face. These same fractions showed a decreasing content of nucleoside diphosphatase, an endoplasmic reticulum marker. Fractions enriched in sialic acid also were enriched in cisternae from the mature or trans face of the Golgi apparatus as deduced from cytochemical criteria. Those fractions least enriched in sialic acid contained cisternae that accumulated deposits of reduced osmium under standard conditions, a test used to mark the opposite, forming or cis-face. Thus subfractionation along the functional polarity axis of the Golgi apparatus with separation of cis and trans face cisternae has been achieved.  相似文献

Summary Golgi apparatus in subapical regions of hyphae consist of paranuclear dictyosomes with 4–5 cisternae each. Transverse and tangential sections provide ultrastructural evidence for a three-dimensional architectural model of the Golgi apparatus and a stepwise mechanism for dictyosome multiplication. The dictyosomes are polarized, with progressive morphological and developmental differentiation of cisternae from the cis to the trans pole. Small membrane blebs and transition vesicles provide developmental continuity between the nuclear envelope and the adjacent dictyosome cisterna at the cis face. Cisternae are formed as fenestrated plates with extended tubular peripheries. The morphology of each cisterna depends on its position in the stack, consistent with a developmental gradient of progressive maturation and turnover of cisternae. Mature cisternae at the trans face are dissociated to produce spheroid and tubular vesicles. Evidence in support of a schematic sequence for increasing the numbers of dictyosomes comes from images of distinctive and unusual forms of Golgi apparatus in hyphal regions where nuclei and dictyosomes multiply, as follows: (a) The area of the nuclear envelope exhibiting forming-face activity next to a dictyosome expands, which in turn increases the size of cisternae subsequently assembled at the cis face of the dictyosome. (b) As subsequent large cisternae are formed and mature as they pass through the dictyosome, an entire dictyosome about twice normal size is built up. The number of cisternae per stack remains the same because of continuing turnover and loss of cisternae at the trans face, (c) This enlarged dictyosome becomes separated into two by a small region of the nuclear envelope next to the cis face that acquires polyribosomes and no longer generates transition vesicles, (d) As a consequence, assembly of new dictyosomes is physically separated into two adjacent regions, (e) As.the enlarged cisternae are lost to vesiculation at the trans pole, they are replaced by two separate stacks of cisternae with typical normal diameters, (f) The net result is two adjacent dictyosomes where one existed previously. Dictyosome multiplication is thus accomplished as part of the normal developmental turnover of cisternae, without interrupting the functioning of the Golgi apparatus as it continues to produce new secretory vesicles from mature cisternae at the trans face. Coordination of Golgi apparatus multiplication with nuclear division ensures that each daughter nucleus receives a complement of paranuclear dictyosomes.  相似文献

Asymmetrical microtubule capping structures in frog palate cilia   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The three-dimensional ultrastructure of the Golgi apparatus in milk secreting epithelial cells of bovine mammary gland was explored. From computer-aided reconstructions of serial thin sections, it was determined that the Golgi apparatus was composed of a single set of stacked cisternae. The three-dimensional shape of the dictyosome varied from cell to cell, but the overall shape was that of a hollow cone, cylinder, or bowl. The cis and trans surfaces of the dictyosome were arranged in three-dimensional space such that the cis face was located on the outer surface of the hollow structure and the trans face on the inner surface. The cytoplasmic channel (secretory channel) that traversed the longitudinal axis of the hollow dictyosome contained secretory vesicles. Densely stacked cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum surrounded the dictyosome, and microvesicles appeared to fuse with, or bud from, cisternae of both organelles. These findings suggest that Golgi apparatus of the lactating epithelial cell is highly organized and that the Golgi apparatus and secretory channel are essentially an independent compartment within the cell.  相似文献

Summary The formation of three types of vesicles in the oomycetePhytophthora cinnamomi was investigated using ultrastructural and immunocytochemical techniques. All three vesicles are synthesised at the same time; one type serves a storage role; the others undergo regulated secretion. A monoclonal antibody Lpv-1 that is specific for glycoproteins contained in the storage vesicles labelled the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), elements in the transition region between ER and Golgi stack, and cis, medial and trans Golgi cisternae. Cpa2, a monoclonal antibody specific for glycoproteins contained within secretory dorsal vesicles labelled the transition region, cis cisternae and a trans-Golgi network. Vesicles possessing a structure characteristic of mature secretory ventral vesicles were observed in close association with the trans face of Golgi stacks. The results suggest that all three vesicles are formed by the Golgi apparatus. Double immunogold labelling with Lpv-1 and Cpa-2 showed that these two sets of glycoproteins occurred within the same Golgi cisternae, indicating that both products pass through and are sorted concurrently within a single Golgi stack.  相似文献

The distribution of four enzymes within the endomembrane system of the protist Crypthecodinium cohnii has been determined using cytochemical localizations with lead as a capture agent. Nucleoside diphosphatase (NDPase) activity, using inosine diphosphate (IDP) and thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) as substrates, was observed in the Golgi apparatus, with a gradient of increasing reaction product noted in some cells from the cis to trans cisternae. Tubules and vesicles associated with the trans cisternae also contained reaction product. The endoplasmic reticulum exhibited a high activity of glucose-6-phosphatase [with glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P) as substrate]. Traces of reaction product were also observed in the cis-most and trans-most cisternae of the dictyosomes. Activity of acid phosphatase (AcPase) was observed in Golgi cisternae as well as in associated cytoplasmic vesicles. Heaviest deposition was localized in medial and trans dictyosome cisternae. The cytoplasmic system of flattened vesicles subtending the surface membranes in these cells did not exhibit reactivity with any of the substrates used. The distribution of these enzymes in this algal cell appears similar to that observed in animal cells and suggests that these enzymes may represent markers for algal cell endomembrane compartments.  相似文献

Binding sites for wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), Ricinus communis I agglutinin (RCA I) and Limax flavus agglutinin (LFA) have been ultrastructurally detected in rat epiphyseal chondrocytes by a post-embedding cytochemical technique using colloidal gold as marker. The four lectins labelled exclusively the Golgi apparatus of chondrocytes embedded in Lowicryl K4M resin by two different methods. WGA binding sites were localized in medial and trans cisternae as well as in immature secretory vesicles, whereas those for DBA were seen concentrated in cis and medial cisternae. Labelling with both RCA I and LFA lectins was distributed throughout all the cisternae of the Golgi stack, and the latter also in vesicles and tubules at the trans face. Neuraminidase pretreatment of the sections abolished LFA staining, decreased reaction with WGA and increased that with RCA I, while it did not affect DBA staining. After chondroitinase ABC treatment only the RCA I reaction was modified, revealing new binding sites in the trans Golgi face, secretory granules and extracellular matrix. These results indicate that the distribution of subcompartments in the Golgi apparatus of chondrocytes is different from that in cells secreting glycoproteins as major products.  相似文献

Summary Endoplasmic reticulum-polyribosome-Golgi apparatus associations were a general feature of cells of suspension cultures of wild carrot (Daucus carota L.). Free polyribosomes occurred within the Golgi apparatus zone for all dictyosomes and with equal frequency at all levels within the stack including the most mature or trans face. When evaluated and quantified from electron micrographs, approximately 60% of the dictyosome profiles were characterized by a system of transition elements consisting of part smooth-part rough endoplasmic reticulum. These were encountered most frequently in the immediate vicinity of the immature, forming or cis face, usually toward the periphery of the stacked cisternae. Analysis of serial sections showed that those dictyosome profiles not exhibiting this characteristic did so primarily because of an unfavorable plane of sectioning. All dictyosomes examined in 5 or more serial sections revealed some type of close association with endoplasmic reticulum. Some of the associations were so close that direct connections between Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum tubules could not be excluded. Also present, especially at the forming or cis face, were small 600 nm transition vesicles with nap-like surface coats on nearly 90% of the dictyosomes examined. More than 50% exhibited spiny (clathrin-)coated vesicles at the mature or trans face.  相似文献

The budding yeast Pichia pastoris contains ordered Golgi stacks next to discrete transitional endoplasmic reticulum (tER) sites, making this organism ideal for structure-function studies of the secretory pathway. Here, we have used P. pastoris to test various models for Golgi trafficking. The experimental approach was to analyze P. pastoris tER-Golgi units by using cryofixed and freeze-substituted cells for electron microscope tomography, immunoelectron microscopy, and serial thin section analysis of entire cells. We find that tER sites and the adjacent Golgi stacks are enclosed in a ribosome-excluding "matrix." Each stack contains three to four cisternae, which can be classified as cis, medial, trans, or trans-Golgi network (TGN). No membrane continuities between compartments were detected. This work provides three major new insights. First, two types of transport vesicles accumulate at the tER-Golgi interface. Morphological analysis indicates that the center of the tER-Golgi interface contains COPII vesicles, whereas the periphery contains COPI vesicles. Second, fenestrae are absent from cis cisternae, but are present in medial through TGN cisternae. The number and distribution of the fenestrae suggest that they form at the edges of the medial cisternae and then migrate inward. Third, intact TGN cisternae apparently peel off from the Golgi stacks and persist for some time in the cytosol, and these "free-floating" TGN cisternae produce clathrin-coated vesicles. These observations are most readily explained by assuming that Golgi cisternae form at the cis face of the stack, progressively mature, and ultimately dissociate from the trans face of the stack.  相似文献

Summary This study was to determine if feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-infected and uninfected Crandall feline kidney (CRFK) cells exhibited a low temperature (16°C) block in membrane trafficking between transitional endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus represented by intermediate compartment formation. Cells were cultured at different temperatures and membrane changes involving the Golgi apparatus and Golgi apparatus-associated membrane structures were monitored by electron microscopy and quantitated. With 30 min of incubation, membranes of the Golgi apparatus stack increased in amount at temperatures of 16°C and below compared to temperatures above 18°C. The increase was greatest along the major polarity axis as evidenced by an increased stack height. Neither the number of cisternae per stack nor the average stack diameter (width) was affected by temperature. The response was maximal between 15 and 30 min of low temperature treatment of the cells. Results with cells infected and uninfected with feline immunodeficiency virus were similar. The increase in stack height was due primarily to an increase of membranes at the cis face (cis Golgi apparatus network). At 18°C, membranes of the trans Golgi apparatus network accumulated suggesting that import from the cis Golgi network could proceed at this temperature, whereas exit from the trans Golgi network was still at least partially blocked. Also increased at 16°C and below were numbers of transition vesicles in the space between the Golgi apparatus and the transitional endoplasmic reticulum associated with the cis Golgi apparatus face. The results suggested interruption of the orderly flux of membranes into the Golgi apparatus at 16°C and below. Moreover, the block appeared to be reversible. Upon transfer from 16°C to 37°C, there was a time-dependent decrease in the accumulations of cis compartment membrane accompanied by a corresponding equivalent increase in the membranes of the trans Golgi apparatus compartment.  相似文献

The effects of vinblastine and colchicine on the Golgi apparatus of stomach surface mucoid and absorptive intestinal cells were compared by cytochemical analysis. The two epithelial cells were chosen because of their different specific functions in the formation of secretory granules, the production of lysosomes and the intensity of membrane traffic in the cytoplasm. For the analysis, adult mice were injected with 1 mg/100 g b.w. of vinblastine and 1 mg/100 g b.w. of colchicine. For the demonstration of cis and trans cisternae of the Golgi apparatus, prolonged osmification, thiamine pyrophosphatase and acid phosphatase activity identification were applied. After treatment with vinblastine or colchicine, polarity of stacks in the Golgi apparatus of surface mucoid cells is preserved although the number of cisternae with thiamine pyrophosphatase or acid phosphatase activity decreases. However, the Golgi apparatus of intestinal absorptive cells completely disintegrates and only a few separated cis or trans cisternae can be identified. The main effect seems to be a reduction of vesicles which can be cytochemically identified as parts of the Golgi apparatus and an accumulation of vesicles which probably originate from budding ER. Communication between the ER and the Golgi apparatus seems to be interrupted.  相似文献

Summary The fine structural localization of thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) and acid phosphatase (AcPase) was examined in pancreatic acinar cells of fasting and fed mice. The results were not affected by these conditions. TPPase activity was positive in two and sometimes three cisternae of the inner Golgi lamellae as well as in the condensing vacuoles of the trans area, but negative in the rigid lamellae and small vesicles of the trans area. AcPase activity was demonstrated in two and sometimes three cisternae of inner Golgi lamellae, condensing vacuoles, rigid lamellae, lysosomes and smooth or coated vesicles in the trans area. The inner Golgi lamellae and the condensing vacuoles were positive for both enzyme activities. From these facts, the lysosome is considered to be formed not only in the GERL system but also through the rough endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi apparatus route. It is reasonable to consider that Novikoff's GERL is not independent from the Golgi apparatus but represents a part of this organelle.This study was supported by a grant from the Japan Educational Ministry  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 Binding sites for wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), Ricinus communis I agglutinin (RCA I) and Limax flavus agglutinin (LFA) have been ultrastructurally detected in rat epiphyseal chondrocytes by a post-embedding cytochemical technique using colloidal gold as marker. The four lectins labelled exclusively the Golgi apparatus of chondrocytes embedded in Lowicryl K4M resin by two different methods. WGA binding sites were localized in medial and trans cisternae as well as in immature secretory vesicles, whereas those for DBA were seen concentrated in cis and medial cisternae. Labelling with both RCA I and LFA lectins was distributed throughout all the cisternac of the Golgi stack, and the latter also in vesicles and tubules at the trans face. Neuraminidase pretreatment of the sections abolished LFA staining, decreased reaction with WGA and increased that with RCA I, while it did not affect DBA staining. After chondroitinase ABC treatment only the RCA I reaction was modified, revealing new binding sites in the trans Golgi face, secretory granules and extracellular matrix. These results indicate that the distribution of subcompartments in the Golgi apparatus of chondrocytes is different from that in cells secreting glycoproteins as major products.  相似文献

We have determined the subcellular distribution of fucosyl residues in rat duodenal absorptive enterocytes and goblet cells, using the binding affinity of the lectin I of Ulex europaeus (UEA I). In absorptive enterocytes, UEA I-lectin gold complexes were detected at the brush border and at the basolateral plasma membrane; pits of the plasma membrane were labeled, as were small vesicles, multivesicular bodies, lysosomes, and the Golgi apparatus. In the Golgi stacks, about half of the cisternae showed gold marker particles: accessible fucosyl residues were sparse in the cis subcompartment, the cismost cisterna mostly remaining negative; more intense label was found in medial cisternae; reactions were concentrated in the trans and transmost Golgi subcompartments. Cisternae, tubules and vesicles located at the trans Golgi side were the most constantly and intensely stained Golgi elements. In goblet cells, mucin granules and trans Golgi cisternae were labeled. Rarely, UEA I-gold bound to cisternae of the medial subcompartment; the cis subcompartment remained unstained. In part, UEA I-gold particles were restricted to dilated portions of the transmost Golgi cisterna and to secretory granules.  相似文献

Protein transport via the endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus-cell surface export route was blocked when slices (6-15 cells thick) of livers of 10-day-old rats were incubated with 1 microM monensin. Production of secretory vesicles by Golgi apparatus was reduced or eliminated and, in their place, swollen cisternae accumulated in the cytoplasm at the trans Golgi apparatus face. The swelling response was restricted to the six external cell layers of the liver slices, and the number of cells showing the response was little increased by either a greater concentration of monensin or by longer times of incubation. When monensin was added post-chase to the slices, flux of radioactive proteins to the cell surface was inhibited by about 80% as determined from standard pulse-chase analyses with isolated cell fractions. Radioactive proteins accumulated in both endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus and in a fraction that may contain monensin-blocked Golgi apparatus cisternae released from the stack. The latter fraction was characterized by galactosyltransferase/thiamine pyrophosphatase ratios similar to those of Golgi apparatus from control slices. The use of monensin with the tissue slice system may provide an opportunity for the cells to accumulate monensin-blocked Golgi apparatus cisternae in sufficient quantities to permit their isolation and purification by conventional cell fractionation methods.  相似文献

We have used monospecific antisera to two lysosomal membrane glycoproteins, lgp120 and a similar protein, lgp110, to compare the biosynthesis and intracellular transport of lysosomal membrane components, plasma membrane proteins, and lysosomal enzymes. In J774 cells and NRK cells, newly synthesized lysosomal membrane and plasma membrane proteins (the IgG1/IgG2b Fc receptor or influenza virus hemagglutinin) were transported through the Golgi apparatus (defined by acquisition of resistance to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H) with the same kinetics (t1/2 = 11-14 min). In addition, immunoelectron microscopy of normal rat kidney cells showed that lgp120 and vesicular stomatitis virus G-protein were present in the same Golgi cisternae demonstrating that lysosomal and plasma membrane proteins were not sorted either before or during transport through the Golgi apparatus. To define the site at which sorting occurred, we compared the kinetics of transport of lysosomal and plasma membrane proteins and a lysosomal enzyme to their respective destinations. Newly synthesized proteins were detected in dense lysosomes (lgp's and beta-glucuronidase) or on the cell surface (Fc receptor or hemagglutinin) after the same lag period (20-25 min), and accumulated at their final destinations with similar kinetics (t1/2 = 30-45 min), suggesting that these two lgp's are not transported to the plasma membrane before reaching lysosomes. This was further supported by measurements of the transport of membrane-bound endocytic markers from the cell surface to lysosomes, which exhibited additional lag periods of 5-15 min and half-times of 1.5-2 h. The time required for transport of newly synthesized plasma membrane proteins to the cell surface, and for the transport of plasma membrane markers from the cell surface to lysosomes would appear too long to account for the rapid transport of lgp's from the Golgi apparatus to lysosomes. Thus, the observed kinetics suggest that lysosomal membrane proteins are sorted from plasma membrane proteins at a post-Golgi intracellular site, possibly the trans Golgi network, before their delivery to lysosomes.  相似文献
