The discovery ofGolgi apparatus
• In 1898, Golgi applied the stain (silver nitrate) to n
erve cells from the cerebellum and discovered a da
rkly stained reticular network located near the cell
nucleus. Named it as Golgi apparatus.
6
• The Golgiapparatus is usually located near th
e cell nucleus. It consists of a collection of flatt
ened, membrane-bounded sacs (cisternae, sing
ular cisternae), which are piled like stacks of p
lates. Each stack contains three to twenty ciste
rnae.
• The number of Golgi stacks per cell varies gre
atly depending on the cell type: some cells con
tain one large stack, while other contain hund
ereds of very small ones.

Each Golgi stackhas two distinct faces:
Bulgy face
Entry face; Cis face
Forming face
Immature face(ER)
Concave face
Exit face; Trans face
Secretary face

The proteins travelthrough the cisternae in sequence
by means of transport vesicles that bud from one c
isterna and fuse with the next.

TGN: A tubule-vesicularcompartment found on t
he trans side of the Golgi apparatus and involved i
n sorting of transported proteins and lipids to thei
r correct destinations including lysosomes, secreto
ry vesicles and the plasma membrane.
CGN: as a sorting station that distinguishes betwe
en proteins to be shipped back to the ER and those
that are allowed to proceed to next Golgi station.

• Both thecis and trans network are thought to be i
mportant for protein sorting:
• Proteins entering the cis Golgi network can either
move onward through the Golgi stack or, if they c
ontain an ER retetion signal, be returned to the E
R;
• Proteins exiting the trans Golgi network are sorted
according to whether they are destined for lysoso
mes or for the cell surface.
21
• The proteinsprocessed by the Golgi are gly
coproteins (they have N-linked polysacchari
ds attached to them). The oligosaccharids w
ere added in the ER.
• These carbohydrate groups are modified in
the Golgi (removal and addition of carbohy
drate).
*Modification
22.
22
• Because theoligosaccharides are added on t
he luminal side of the ER and Golgi, their di
stribution is asymmetrical.
• As a result,
the oligosaccharides of all membrane-associa
ted glycoproteins and lipoproteins face the
lumen of intracellular membrane
those of the plasma membrane (because of ex
ocytosis) face the outside of the cell.
24
• Glycosylation ofN-linked oligosaccharide occurs in
the medial and trans cisternae.
Glycosylation
• Some of these proteins e
nds up in secretory gran
ules.
• others end up in the plas
ma membrane
25.
25
Protein processing withinthe Golgi involves t
he modification and synthesis of the carbohyd
rate portions of glycoproteins.
One of the major aspects of this processing is
the modification of the N-linked oligosacchari
des that were added to proteins in the ER.
Glycosylation
27
• O-linked glycosylation
refersto the connection through the hydrox
yl group of threonine, serine,or hydroxylysi
ne (OH).
• O-linked glycosylation begins in Golgi appa
ratus.
41
Vesicle transport
• COPII-coatedvesicles : move m
aterials from ER to Golgi apparat
us.
• COPI-coated vesicles: move mate
rials from Golgi apparatus to ER.
• Clathrin-coated vesicles: from TG
N to lysosomes/ receptor mediat
ed endocytosis.
