Key Points
-
The duplication and inheritance of both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus is coupled to cell-cycle progression.
-
Although the exact mechanisms underlying ER and Golgi inheritance differ according to the organism and growth state being studied, there are some common themes. Organelles can either be constructed de novo, or be remodelled and then segregated into the daughter cells. These are not necessarily mutually exclusive options.
-
Organelle structure is controlled by regulatory modifications. The best characterized of these is phosphorylation, but an emerging view is that ubiquitylation is potentially of equal significance.
-
Mitotic kinases, predominantly CDK1, promote the remodelling of organelles in mitosis, and set the stage for their segregation into the daughter cells.
-
In some cases, such as the ER in budding yeast, segregation involves active-transport mechanisms involving microtubule- and/or actin-based motors, whereas in others, for example the Golgi in mammalian cells, passive/stochastic partitioning is likely to be sufficient.
-
The Golgi has been implicated in signalling pathways that control mitotic progression, although the precise details of this regulation differ depending on the organism.
Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, cellular functions are compartmentalized into membrane-bound organelles. This has many advantages, as shown by the success of the eukaryotic lineage, but creates many problems for cells, such as the need to build and partition these organelles during cell growth and division. Diverse mechanisms for biogenesis of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus have evolved, ranging from de novo synthesis to the copying of a template organelle. The different mechanisms by which organelles are inherited in yeasts, protozoa and metazoans probably reflect the differences in the structure and copy number of these organelles.
