Mobile factories: Golgi dynamics in plant cells
Trends in Plant Science, 6:160-167..
The plant Golgi apparatus plays a central role in the synthesis of cell wall material and the modification and sorting of proteins destined for the cell surface and vacuoles. While our view of this organelle has been dominated in the past by static electron micrographs and its biosynthetic functions, it has become increasingly clear that many Golgi activities can only be understood in the context of its dynamic organization. Recent years have brought significant new insights into the molecules that mediate this dynamic behavior, and how this machinery differs between plants and animals or yeast. Most notable is the discovery that plant Golgi stacks can actively move through the cytoplasm along actin filaments, an observation that has major implications for the trafficking to, through and from this organelle.
