Received : 25 July Accepted : 10 November The more recent three-dimensional membrane reconstructions have clarified such issues by making it possible to actually see tubular structures unequivocally and to avoid mistaking them with cuts through planar structures.
The ER is in contact with most organelles through membrane contact sites. For example, the mitochondria-ER contact site is composed of a complex of membrane proteins that span either organelle.
Similar contacts are found between the ER and the vacuole, peroxisome and cell membrane. Figure 2: Structural dynamics of the endoplasmic reticulum during the cell cycle. Confocal images of HeLa cells. The chromosomes are labeled in red using a fusion of a fluorescent protein with histone H2B. The sequence of images shows the changes in ER morphology as a function of time during the cell cycle. Adapted from L. Lu et al. Of course, one of the deceiving aspects of images like those shown in Figure 1 is that they give the illusion that these structures are static.
Beautiful recent studies have made it possible to watch the remodeling of the endoplasmic reticulum structure during the cell cycle in real time as shown in Figure 2. By making a stack of closely spaced confocal images, it is possible to gain insights into the three-dimensional structure of the organelle over time. In these images, we see that during interphase the ER is reticular net like.
To appreciate the tangled arrangement of organellar membranes even more deeply, Figure 3 provides a reconstructed image using x-ray microscopy of the ER and other ubiquitous membrane systems in the cell.
In this cell type and growth conditions the reconstruction reveals that the mitochondria and lysosomes are more dominant in terms of volume than the ER. The cytoplasm itself occupies more than half of the volume even if it is deemed transparent is these reconstructions that take a wide slice depth of focus and project it into a dense 2D image. Cells specialising in the production of proteins will tend to have a larger amount of rough ER whilst cells producing lipids fats and steroid hormones will have a greater amount of smooth ER.
Part of the ER is contiguous with the nuclear envelope. The Golgi apparatus is also closely associated with the ER and recent observations suggest that parts of the two organelles, i. This is an extensive organelle composed of greatly convoluted but flattish sealed sacs, which are contiguous with the nuclear membrane.
These are called membrane bound ribosomes and are firmly attached to the outer cytosolic side of the ER About 13 million ribosomes are present on the RER in the average liver cell. Rough ER is found throughout the cell but the density is higher near the nucleus and the Golgi apparatus. This process is called translation. Certain cells of the pancreas and digestive tract produce a high volume of protein as enzymes.
Many of the proteins are produced in quantity in the cells of the pancreas and the digestive tract and function as digestive enzymes. Proteins are produced for the plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, secretory vesicles, plant vacuoles, lysosomes, endosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum itself. Some of the proteins are delivered into the lumen or space inside the ER whilst others are processed within the ER membrane itself. In the lumen some proteins have sugar groups added to them to form glycoproteins.
Some have metal groups added to them. It is in the rough ER for example that four polypeptide chains are brought together to form haemoglobin. Protein quality control section It is also in the lumen that an amazing process of quality control checking is carried out. Proteins are subjected to a quality control check and any that are found to be incorrectly formed or incorrectly folded are rejected.
