The Golgi Apparatus – A Key Organelle in the Plant Secretory Pathway
نویسندگان
چکیده
The secretory pathway in plants mediates the transport of cargo molecules from their site of synthesis to other compartments within the pathway as well as to the cell wall. At the centre of this system is the Golgi apparatus, a transport hub that is responsible for receiving, modifying and sorting proteins for transport to their destinations. Several recent publications have investigated the routes and transport mechanisms that connect the Golgi apparatus with other secretory organelles, including exciting new links with non-secretory organelles such as plastids. This review therefore focuses on the multiple roles of the Golgi apparatus in the secretory pathway and its connections with other organelles within the plant cell. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Putative glycosyltransferases and other plant Golgi apparatus proteins are revealed by LOPIT proteomics.
The Golgi apparatus is the central organelle in the secretory pathway and plays key roles in glycosylation, protein sorting, and secretion in plants. Enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of complex polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids are located in this organelle, but the majority of them remain uncharacterized. Here, we studied the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) membrane proteo...
متن کاملThe Golgi complex in stress and death
The Golgi complex is a central organelle of the secretory pathway where sorting and processing of cargo occurs. While Golgi structure is important for the efficient processing of secretory cargo, the unusual organization suggests additional potential functions. The Golgi is disassembled after various cellular stresses, and we hypothesize that Golgi disassembly activates a stress signaling pathw...
متن کاملCONTINUOUS VASCULAR RING (COV1) is a trans-Golgi network-localized membrane protein required for Golgi morphology and vacuolar protein sorting.
The trans-Golgi network (TGN) is a tubular-vesicular organelle that matures from the trans cisternae of the Golgi apparatus. In plants, the TGN functions as a central hub for three trafficking pathways: the secretory pathway, the vacuolar trafficking pathway and the endocytic pathway. Here, we describe a novel TGN-localized membrane protein, CONTINUOUS VASCULAR RING (COV1), that is crucial for ...
متن کاملThe Golgi apparatus: an organelle with multiple complex functions.
Remarkable advances have been made during the last few decades in defining the organizational principles of the secretory pathway. The Golgi complex in particular has attracted special attention due to its central position in the pathway, as well as for its fascinating and complex structure. Analytical studies of this organelle have produced significant advances in our understanding of its func...
متن کاملRab30 is required for the morphological integrity of the Golgi apparatus.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION Rab GTPases are key coordinators of eukaryotic intracellular membrane trafficking. In their active states, Rabs localise to the cytoplasmic face of intracellular compartments where they regulate membrane trafficking processes. Many Rabs have been extensively characterised whereas others, such as Rab30, have to date received relatively little attention. RESULTS Here, we ...
