Abstract
The study of the plant secretory pathway is a relatively new field, developing rapidly over the last 30 years. Many exciting discoveries have already been made in this area, but as old questions are answered new ones become apparent. Our understanding of the functions and mechanisms of the plant secretory pathway is constantly expanding, in part because of the development of new technologies, mainly in bioimaging. The increasing accessibility of these new tools in combination with more established methods provides an ideal way to increase knowledge of the secretory pathway in plants. In this review we discuss recent developments in understanding protein transport between organelles in the plant secretory pathway.

Abstract
Coated and noncoated vesicles participate in cellular protein transport. Both acetylcholine receptors (AChR) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) are transported via coated vesicles, some of which accumulate beneath the neuromuscular synapse where AChRs cluster. To investigate the mechanisms by which these proteins are transported during postsynaptic remodeling, we purified coated vesicles from the bovine brain via column chromatography (Sephacryl S-1000) and raised monoclonal antibodies to epitopes of the vesicular membranes enriched in AChE. We assayed for AChE (coated vesicle enriched), hexosaminidase (lysosomal contaminants), NADH cytochrome C reductase (mitochondrial containing), and protein and demonstrated electron microscopically using negative staining that the vesicular fraction contained 95% pure coated vesicles. We then injected coated vesicle fractions and the fractions from which the coat was removed intraperitoneally into mice and obtained three monoclonal antibodies: C-33, C-172, and F-22. On immunoblots of purified vesicles and cultured skeletal muscle, mAb C-33 stained a 180 Kd band and mAb C-172 stained a 100 kd band. MAb F-22 stained 50 kd and 55 kd bands and was not characterized further. Immunofluorescent microscopy with C-33 and C-172 revealed punctate fluorescence whose distribution depends upon the stage of myotube development. Four days after plating, myotubes showed punctate fluorescence throughout the myotube, whereas those stained 8 days after plating showed a punctate perinuclear distribution. Myotubes innervated by ciliary neurons show punctate fluorescence limited to the nuclear periphery and most concentrated around nuclei which line up beneath neuronal processes. This differential vesicular distribution, observed during myotube differentiation and innervation, suggests that these vesicles participate in vesicular membrane traffic.

Abstract
Thin sections of tissue preparations from a green alga, Ulva lactuca (Ulvophyceae), and brown alga, Laminaria digitata (Pheophyceae) showed the presence of coated pits and coated vesicles in these 2 species. A discontinuous sucrose gradient after subcellular fractionation of the tissue homogenate resulted in an enriched coated vesicle fraction. Electron microscopy of negatively stained samples revealed the presence of coated vesicles of diameter ranging from 40-125 nm, together with large sheets of polygonal nets of clathrin. Electrophoresis of the CV purified fraction revealed various polypeptide components. Two of them, a 175 kDa and a 70 kDa, exhibited a positive response to bovine brain anticlathrin antibodies raised in goat or in rabbit. A third component of 30-40 kDa also gave a faint positive response. These 3 components corresponded to the clathrin heavy and light chains already described in higher plants. Clathrin was released from the CV algal preparations by treatment with 2M urea in Tris buffer, pH 8.5. Interestingly, in Ulva lactuca, the proportion of clathrin relative to the other proteins from the CV decreased with plant growth. Biochemical analysis of the purified CV revealed the presence of all the major phospholipids characterized in mammalian CV. The ratio of protein over lipid was also in the same range as that calculated for mammalian CV. Carbohydrate analysis demonstrated a high proportion of N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylglucosamine in both algal CV whereas these sugars were not detectable in the crude homogenate. These results demonstrate the presence of clathrin and coated vesicles in 2 species of algae.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Clathrin-coated vesicles, identified by negative staining with uranyl acetate, were purified from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Isolated coated vesicles had diameters ranging from 70 to 140 nm (mean diameter +/- SD of 95 +/- 17 nm, n = 300). These vesicles were markedly heterogeneous in both density and surface charge, as indicated by equilibrium density sedimentation and elution from anion-exchange columns. Highly-purified coated-vesicle fractions contained 2 major polypeptides, identified as the clathrin heavy chain (185 kDa) and the clathrin light chain (40 kDa). Chlamydomonas clathrin heavy chain cross-reacts weakly with an antibody against bovine brain clathrin heavy chain. Coat stability in several buffers was compared to that of bovine brain coated vesicles. Stability was similar, except for a greater stability of Chlamydomonas coated vesicles in 0.5 M Tris at pH 7.0.

Abstract
Electropherograms of Neurospora crassa homogenates showed a polypeptide with a mobility slightly lower than that of a standard sample of clathrin (from bovine brain). Subcellular fractionation of the homogenate resulted in a 20-fold enrichment of the putative N. crassa clathrin in the microsomal fraction. Further fractionation of the microsomal fraction by glass bead permeation chromatography yielded a fraction enriched about 150-fold relative to the homogenate. Coated vesicles (42.5 +/- 2.5 nm diameter) were found in this preparation by electron microscopy of negatively stained specimens. Ribosomes were virtually absent from this sample. N. crassa clathrin remained associated with the coated vesicles after repeated centrifugation and homogenization steps, even in the presence of 0.4 M-NaCl, but was released by treatment with Tris buffer pH 8.5. However the polypeptide was again sedimentable after dialysis against Mes buffer pH 6.5. Under the electron microscope this sediment resembled the empty coats of higher eukaryotes. The results taken together indicate that a clathrin-like protein occurs in wild type cells of N. crassa.

Abstract
The organelles of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) protoplasts were separated using a recently developed procedure which allows rapid (3-h) recovery of a fraction enriched for coated vesicles (CVs). As determined by marker-enzyme enrichment and ultrastructural analysis of isolated membrane fractions, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi membranes, glucan-synthase-II (EC 2.4.1.34)-containing membranes (putative plasma membrane), mitochondria, and CVs were enriched in separate fractions in a sucrose density gradient. Glucan synthase I (EC 2.4.1.12) had the highest specific activity in the Golgi-enriched and CV-enriched fractions and was found to comigrate with CVs upon rate-zonal centrifugation of a CV-enriched fraction. For further elucidation of the role of these latter organelles in cell-wall regeneration, freshly isolated protoplasts were pulsed with [(3)H]glucose for 20 min, and the disappearance of label from the organelles was followed for the ensuing 1 h. Although a CV-enriched fraction contained glucan synthase I, it contained very small amounts of labelled polysaccharide during the period of study. Pulse-chase experiments with [(3)H]glucose helped to confirm the role of the Golgi apparatus in secretion of matrix polysaccharides by protoplasts.

Abstract
Fractions enriched in coated vesicles were obtained from protoplasts derived from suspension cultured Glycine max (L.) Merr. cells. Initial enrichment was achieved by isopycnic centrifugation of a protoplast homogenate through a linear sucrose gradient in a vertical rotor. The coated-vesicle fractions from this gradient were pooled and centrifuged through a second linear sucrose gradient in a rate zonal fashion to remove the larger contaminating membrane vesicles. The most prominent polypeptide in the coated-vesicle fractions, plant "clathrin", had a relative molecular mass of approx. 190 kdalton as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Other enriched polypeptides included bands at 105, 100, 96, 64, 50, 38 and 32 kdalton. This method was compared with a procedure utilizing sucrose step gradients for preparing coated vesicles from soybean protoplasts. The effectiveness of the isopycnic-rate zonal centrifugation procedure was also tested for the preparation of bovine-brain coated vesicles.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) protoplasts have been surface-labelled with cationized ferritin, and the fate of the label has been followed ultrastructurally. Endocytosis of the label occurs via the coated-membrane system. The pathway followed by the label, once it has been taken into the interior of the protoplast, appears to be similar to that found during receptor-mediated endocytosis in animal cells. Cationized ferritin is first seen in coated vesicles but rapidly appears in smooth vesicles. Labelled, partially coated vesicles are occasionally observed, indicating that the smooth vesicles may have arisen by the uncoating of coated vesicles. Structures which eventually become labelled with cationized ferritin include multivesicular bodies, dictyosomes, large smooth vesicles, and a system of partially coated reticula.

Abstract
Clathrin-coated vesicles were found in yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and enriched from spheroplasts by a rapid procedure utilizing gel filtration on Sephacryl S-1000. The coated vesicles (62-nm diam) were visualized by negative stain electron microscopy and clathrin triskelions were observed by rotary shadowing. The contour length of a triskelion leg was 490 nm. Coated vesicle fractions contain a prominent band with molecular weight of approximately 185,000 when analyzed by SDS PAGE. The presence of coated vesicles in yeast cells suggests that this organism will be useful for studying the function of clathrin-coated vesicles.
