Nonclathrin vesicle coats and filament networks in the transition zone and trans-Golgi region of the Golgi complex of Paramecium.

Understanding vesicle trafficking to and through the Golgi stack has been greatly elucidated recently, but the question of what holds the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi stack together in many cell types and an explanation of anterograde trafficking in the ER-Golgi transitional zone have not yet been adequately explained. We have studied these problems using both the thin sectioning and the quick-freeze deep-etch (QF-DE) technique on Paramecium cells harvested at different culture ages. Although the Golgi apparatus of Paramecium is made up of many sets of more reduced stacks of cisternae than those of many mammalian cells, the stacks in Paramecium always bear a close relationship to a transitional element of the ER from which non-clathrin-coated transition vesicles arise. In QF-DE replicas two networks of filaments are clearly shown; one is in this ER-Golgi transition zone and the other is on the trans side of the Golgi stack. The network associated with the trans-Golgi region links a number of vesicular elements. The network in the transition zone spans the distance between the ER and the cis-cisterna of the Golgi stack and has branches extending to the coats of the enmeshed nonclathrin-coated transition vesicles. These coats consist of a layer of 11-nm globular elements (the same size as coatomer complexes) which surround the 40-nm-diameter transition vesicles. We conclude that the filamentous network holds the ER and Golgi stack together and prevents the dispersal of the transition vesicles away from this zone. This network may also delineate and stabilize the transitional element within the ER and, finally, help organize anterograde transition vesicle trafficking in this ER-Golgi transition zone.
