Endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus

Slender spindle-shaped fibroblasts are the commonest cell to be found in connective tissue. These cells, which manufacture matrix collagen and proteoglycans, have an elliptical nucleus and a cytoplasm which is contains extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, which are typical features of secretory cells. Mast cells are found widely within connective tissues and like fibroblasts these are secretory cells and characterized by a very granular cytoplasm. Almost as numerous as the fibroblasts and cytologically very similar to them, are macrophages, also called histiocytes or littoral cells. 

Protein glycosylation occurs mainly on serine and asparagine residues,but can also occur on hydroxylysine and hydroxyproline (Scheme 15). Glycosylation is very important in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus and can be involved in cell signaling. Many of the membrane-bound proteins and excreted proteins are glycosylated. Protein glycosylation is important in all forms of eukaryotes. ...

The final reactions for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylinositol all occur on the cytosolic surface of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus (fig. 19.9). By contrast, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol are synthesized on the mitochondrial membrane where they remain for the most part. 

Polypeptide hormones are usually stored in secretory granules after their passage through the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Release of these hormones into the bloodstream is accomplished by fusing the secretory granule membranes with the plasma membrane. This event is often regulated by other hormones. 

The elaboration of oligosaccharide chains occurs at specific sites in all cells. In prokaryotes, the enzymes are located on the plasma membrane, whereas in eukaryotes, they occur predominantly on membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. The reactions require...

Unlike the classical neurotransmitters, PGs are not stored prior to use but are rapidly synthesized upon demand from phospholipid precursors. Activation and translocation of cytosolic phospholipase Aj causes the release of free arachidonic acid and the initiation of PG synthesis. A variety of endogenous as well as environmental stimuli have been shown to initiate this process, which takes place on the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus of most cells. 

Results and discussion Of 2,814 identified MDSC proteins 43 were exclusive to 67NR, 153 were exclusive to 4T1, and the rest (2,618) were shared. The shared (2,618) proteins were quantified by spectral counting and searched for up- and downregula-tion. Using one standard deviation as the threshold showed that 364 proteins were increased and 367 decreased in the 4T1 MDSCs, compared to the 67NR MDSCs. The proteins were primarily derived from the cytosol (34%) and nucleus (26%). Other substantial sources of the proteins were membranes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus.

The role of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus in the sequential attachment of monosaccharides has been thoroughly documented in the previous sections. In the synthesis of both secreted and intracellular membrane-bound glycoproteins, glycosyltransferases tightly bound...
