Abstract: | Protein transport along the secretory pathway is supported by a noria of vesicles that bud and fuse, load and unload their cargo from one compartment into the other. However, despite this constant flow-through of proteins and lipids the various compartments of the secretory pathway are able to maintain their own specific composition. Here, we discuss recent insights into mechanisms of protein retention and localization that are necessary for the maintenance of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)- and Golgi-associated typical functions such as protein folding and glycosylation in plant cells. |
