Endomembrane assembly line

Processing of. /V-Glycans within the Endomembrane Assembly Line... 

The formation of pectin and its assembly for final export across the plasmamembrane will be considered here as a production line to indicate the various limiting steps which are controlled to monitor its production. The various channels for the movement and synthesis will be described separately so that the control points can be assessed. The channels which operate for production and movement of the polymers within the cytoplasm and endomembrane system of the cells are - Channel 1. Production and movement of nucleotide sugar donors. Channel 2. Synthesis and compartmentalization of the pectin polymers within the endomembrane system. Channel 3. Movement of vesicles and fusion with the plasmamembrane for assembly and deposition within the wall.
