The study Of the intra-Golgi trafficking and molecular organization of the Golgi

The mammalian Golgi complex adopts a complicated architecture which is unresolvable under a conventional light microscope. Based on a previously developed method, Golgi protein localizations by imaging centers of mass (GLIM), we quantitatively mapped the axial localization of dozens of Golgi protein...

The study Of the intra-Golgi trafficking and molecular organization of the Golgi
description The mammalian Golgi complex adopts a complicated architecture which is unresolvable under a conventional light microscope. Based on a previously developed method, Golgi protein localizations by imaging centers of mass (GLIM), we quantitatively mapped the axial localization of dozens of Golgi proteins along the Golgi axis in nocodazole-induced Golgi mini-stacks. In this study, we explored the lateral localization of Golgi proteins. Using Airyscan microscopy, we identified and validated that GPP130 and several Golgins, including Golgin84, Giantin and GCC185 exclusively localized to Golgi cisternal rims. Hence, they were used to discern the orientations (i.e. side and en face views) of Golgi mini-stacks. By systematically screening Golgi enzymes and components of trafficking machinery, we found that the former preferentially localized to the cisternal interior, whereas the latter was mostly found at the periphery or the rim of the Golgi mini-stack. In addition, after averaging large number of en face and side view images, we generated quantitative molecular organization maps, which summarize the axial and lateral localizations of Golgi proteins in the Golgi mini-stack. For the first time, we provide imaging evidence on the spatial separation of the processing and transport domains to the cisternal interior and rim of the Golgi mini-stack, respectively. Notably, the TGN was observed to organize into a multi-tier architecture axially and demonstrate two types of molecular localization patterns, i.e. compact lump and scattered puncta, laterally.
