Abstract: | Summary The vacuole is often termed the lytic compartment of the plant cell. The yeast cell also possesses a vacuole containing acid hydrolases. In animal cells these enzymes are localized in the lysosome. Recent research suggests that there is good reason to regard these organelles as homologous in terms of protein transport. Although sorting motifs for the recognition of vacuolar proteins within the endomembrane system differ between the three organelles, there is an underlying similarity in targeting determinants in the cytoplasmic tails of Golgi-based receptors. In all three cases these determinants appear to interact with adaptins of clathrin-coated vesicles which ferry their cargo first of all to an endosomal compartment. The situation in sorting and targeting of plant vacuolar proteins is complicated by the fact that storage and lytic vacuoles may exist together in the same cell. The origin of these two types of vacuole is also a matter of some uncertanity.Abbrevations AP assembly protein - ALP alkaline phosphatase - ARF adenosine diphosphate ribosylation factor - BiP immunoglobulin binding protein - CCV clathrin coated vesicle - CPY carboxypeptidase-Y - DPAP dipeptidyl aminopeptidase - ER endoplasmic reticulum - GApp Golgi apparatus - LAMPs lysosomal associated membrane protein(s) - LAP lysosomal acid phosphatase - LIMPs lysosomal integral membrane protein(s) - MPRs mannosyl 6-phosphate receptors - MVB multivesicular bodies - NSF N-ethylmaleimide sensitive fusion (protein) - PAT phosphinotricine acetyltransferase - PB protein body - PHA phytohemagglutinin - PM plasma membrane - PSV protein storage vacuole - SNAPs soluble NSF attachment protein(s) - SNAREs SNAP receptor(s) - TGN trans Golgi network - TIP tonoplast integral protein - VPS vacuolar protein sorting - ZIO zinc iodide/osmium |
