Abstract
The Golgi complex is a polarized cytoplasmic organelle that is generally considered to be built up of at least three functionally distinct, membrane bounded subcompartments, the cis-Golgi network (CGN), the stacked Golgi cisternae and the trans-Golgi network (TGN) [Mellman and Simons, 1992]. It receives material from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and endosomes, transports cargo through its subcompartments and delivers it to the plasma membrane and endosomes. Vesicular carriers are believed to mediate the vectorial transport of this material from one membrane bounded subcompartment to the next. Recently, the idea that transport may also occur by transient tubular connections has also been discussed [Klausner et al., 1992; Kreis, 1992]; until now, however, the evidence for this mechanism of membrane transport is less convincing than for vesicular transport.
