摘要: In this review we discuss the organisation, dynamics and interactions of an important sub-cellular membrane bounded compartment the endoplasmic reticulum which is responsible for much of the cellular protein processing. We consider the control of its shape, movement, interactions with organelles such as the Golgi, plasma membrane and peroxisomes, plus its role as a surface for metabolic enzymes.

Abstract:

The endoplasmic reticulum forms the first compartment in a series of organelles which comprise the secretory pathway. It takes the form of an extremely dynamic and pleomorphic membrane-bounded network of tubules and cisternae which have numerous different cellular functions. In this review, we discuss the nature of endoplasmic reticulum structure and dynamics, its relationship with closely associated organelles, and its possible function as a highway for the distribution and delivery of a diverse range of structures from metabolic complexes to viral particles.
