Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is both structurally and functionally complex, consisting of a dynamic network of interconnected sheets and tubules. To achieve a more comprehensive view of ER organization in interphase and mitotic cells and to address a discrepancy in the field (i.e., whether ER sheets persist, or are transformed to tubules, during mitosis), we have analyzed the ER in four different cell lines using live cell imaging, high-resolution electron microscopy, and 3D-electron microscopy. In interphase cells, we found great variation in network organization and sheet structures between different cell lines. In mitotic cells, we show that the ER undergoes both spatial reorganization and structural transformation of sheets toward more fenestrated and tubular forms. However, the extent of spatial reorganization and sheet-to-tubule transformation varies between cell lines. Fenestration and tubulation of the ER correlates with a reduced number of membrane-bound ribosomes.
