ISOLATION OF A GOLGI APPARATUS-RICH FRACTION FROM RAT LIVER I. Method and Morphology

نویسنده

  • D. JAMES MORRE
چکیده

Golgi apparatus were released without fixatives from rat hepatocytes by gentle homogenization, concentrated by differential centrifugation, and purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation . Examination of sections of purified fractions by electron microscopy showed fields of morphologically intact units of Golgi apparatus consisting of stacks of parallel flattened cisternae, secretory vesicles, and small vesicular profiles . Negative staining of unfixed pellets revealed a complex network of anastomotic tubules continuous with platelike structures and secretory vesicles . These structures corresponded, respectively, to the small vesicular profiles and parallel flattened cisternae with attached secretory vesicles of sectioned material. Small fragments of granular endoplasmic reticulum were often closely associated with the peripheral tubules, suggesting sites of continuity in intact hepatocytes .

Golgi Apparatus of Rat Kidney

A procedure has been developed for the isolation of morphologically recognizable, largely intact, Golgi apparatus from rat kidneys. The fraction contains both uridine diphosphogalactose: IVacetylglucosamine galactosyltransferase and 3’-phosphoadenosine 5’-phosphosulfate: cerebroside sulfotransferase activities enriched 50to 80-fold over the original homogenate. Comparison of the Golgi-rich frac...

Similarities of the Golgi apparatus membrane and the plasma membrane in rat liver cells.

A Golgi apparatus-rich fraction and a plasma membrane-rich fraction were isolated from a common homogenate of rat liver. Their respective buovant densities, appearances in the electron microscope and 5'-nucleotidase and UDP-galactose ovalbumin galactosyltransferase activities were in accord with published data on separately isolated Golgi apparatus-rich and plasma membrane-rich fractions.
