Abstract
Prevacuolar compartments (PVCs) are membrane-bound organelles mediating protein traffic from both Golgi and plasma membrane to vacuoles in eukaryotic cells. Recent studies demonstrate that PVCs in plant cells are multivesicular bodies (MVBs) that merge secretory and endocytic pathways leading to the lytic vacuole, a compartment thought to be equivalent to the mammalian lysosome or the yeast vacuole. In this review, we discuss recent studies on the identity, molecular components and functional roles of plant PVCs and examine whether the plant PVC can also be claimed to be equivalent to the endosome/MVB of mammalian and yeast cells.
