Evidences on the existence of a new potassium channel in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) of rat hepatocytes
Introduction: we have recently reported the presence of two potassium currents with 598 and 368 pS conductance in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) membrane. The 598 pS channel was voltage dependent and ATP sensitive. However, the 368 pS channel was rarely observed and its identity remained obscure. Since cationic channels in intracellular organelles such as mitochondria and RER play imp...
متن کاملProtein translocation across the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is a major site of protein biosynthesis in all eukaryotic cells, serving as the entry point for the secretory pathway and as the initial integration site for the majority of cellular integral membrane proteins. The core components of the protein translocation machinery have been identified, and high-resolution structures of the targeting components and the transp...
متن کاملAntibodies to the Golgi complex and the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Rabbits were immunized with membrane fractions from either the Golgi complex or the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) by injection into the popliteal lymph nodes. The antisera were then tested by indirect immunofluorescence on tissue culture cells or frozen, thin sections of tissue. There were may unwanted antibodies to cell components other than the RER or the Golgi complex, and these were rem...
متن کاملCircular Pofysomes Predominate on the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
We have studied the shape and size distribution of membrane-bound polysomes in somatotropes and mammotropes, which are the sources, respectively, of growth hormone and of prolactin in the rat pituitary. The observations were made in conventional electron micrographs of these cells in situ, where occasional surface or en face views of the rough endoplasmic reticulum allow the polysomes to be see...
متن کاملStudies of membrane glycoproteins in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Studies on membrane glycoproteins which have the RER as their final destination are comparatively rare; thus it has not been possible to examine the initial stages of protein compartmentalization. The roles of the RER and the Golgi apparatus in membrane protein sorting need to be elucidated. It has been suggested, for example, that RER proteins would be returned to the endoplasmic reticulum whi...
