Starting in the late 1980s, their labs revealed steps in how the endoplasmic reticulum, the cell's factory for processing secreted and membrane proteins, deals with proteins whose linear sequence of amino acids hasn't folded into a proper 3D shape.

Specifically, under stress, caused by uncontrolled ingestion of fats for example, the endoplasmic reticulum — a cell organelle associated with protein synthesis and folding and lipid metabolism — stops its activity in order to re-establish cell equilibrium.

Wolfram syndrome is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding a protein called wolframin, which resides in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum — another cellular compartment that functions as a manufacturing and packaging system and also acts as a reservoir for calcium ions.

They counted each of the contact points between two cellular organelles — the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria — and demonstrated for the first time that the number of these connections, called MAMs, markedly increase during obesity.

In both yeast and humans, proteins are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum, decorated with a complex of mannose and other sugars, and eventually shipped to the Golgi apparatus for further processing.

In addition, gastrocnemius muscles from IL - 15Rα — KO mice expressed higher levels of mRNA for the sarcoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase - II (SERCA2) and lower mRNA expression and protein content of the calcium - binding protein calsequestrin (Figure 5, F and G).

When the research team used pharmaceuticals to inhibit one function of the endoplasmic reticulum (the building of so - called lipoprotein particles that will export fats out of the cell), the gene activation process was inhibited for many key genes and nuclear ruffling was also altered.

A conserved motif for the transport of G protein - coupled receptors from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface.

In fact, genetic and pharmacological targeting of the IRE - 1 / XBP - 1 pathway of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response, which is critical for antibody production, results in decreased numbers and reduced functions of MDSCs.

The Potato virus X TGBp2 protein association with the endoplasmic reticulum plays a role in but is not sufficient for viral cell - to - cell movement.

Distinct Pathways for the Trafficking of Angiotensin II and Adrenergic Receptors from the Endoplasmic Reticulum to the Cell Surface.

«This has been an area of discussion for many years, as to whether there is the possibility of this translocation of ApoE from the secretory pathway, from the ER [endoplasmic reticulum] and the Golgi, where clearly it is predominantly located,» he continued.

Cell biologist Tom Rapoport may be best known for studies of how proteins get in and out of a convoluted compartment inside cells called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

The secretory signal peptide is a ubiquitous protein - sorting signal that targets its passenger protein for translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane in eukaryotes and the cytoplasmic membrane in prokaryotes.
