Abstract

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) differentiates to generate various types of compartments, each of whichhas its own function. The ER-derived compartments are classified into two types according to their contents.The first type is found in maturing seeds and accumulates seed storage proteins. The second type of compartmentaccumulates a hydrolytic enzyme. Here we focus on two typical ER-derived compartments: precursor-accumulating(PAC) vesicles as a storage protein type, and ER bodies as a hydrolytic enzyme type. PAC vesiclesmediate the mass transport of storage protein precursors directly from the ER to protein storage vacuolesin maturing seeds. A vacuolar sorting receptor of storage protein is localized in the membrane ofthe PAC vesicles. The vesicles provide a clue to the molecular mechanism of vacuolar sorting of storageproteins. In contrast, ER bodies accumulate a large amount of β-glucosidase with an ER retentionsignal. They are distributed in the epidermal cells of seedlings and roots. Wounding and chewing by insectsinduce many ER bodies in rosette leaves, which have no ER bodies under normal conditions. The ER bodiesmight therefore play a role in a defense strategy of plants. Most of the ER-derived compartmentsare induced in specific tissues in response to internal and external signals. Hence, the induction of ER-derivedcompartments is controlled in a sophisticated way by the conditions under which plants grow.
