Semi-intact cells permeable to macromolecules: Use in reconstitution of protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex

Abstract

We introduce a new method that removes portions of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells to form semi-intact cells. During preparation, these cells lose their soluble cytoplasmic contents, but retain secretory organelles such as the ER and Golgi complex in an intact form. Transport of protein between the ER and Golgi can be functionally reconstituted in vitro using these semi-intact cells by incubation in the presence of cytosol and ATP. Export of the vesicular stomatitis virus strain tsO45 G protein from the ER in vitro is temperature-sensitive, similar to the result observed in vivo. These cells allow direct access of chemicals and antibodies to the cytoplasmic domain of the cell and may be a widely applicable model system for study of a broad range of problems in cell biology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
