Reconstitution of the Golgi reassembly process in semi-intact MDCK cells.
The Golgi apparatus, which consists of stacks of cisternae during interphase, is fragmented or dispersed throughout the cytoplasm at the onset of mitosis. A sea sponge metabolite, ilimaquinone (IQ), causes Golgi membranes to vesiculate. And after its removal, the vesiculated membranes reassemble into stacks of cisternae in the perinuclear region. To study the mechanism of Golgi membrane dynamics during mitosis, we have reconstituted the reassembly process of IQ-induced vesiculated Golgi membranes in streptolysin O-permeabilized Mardin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Monitoring the dynamics of Golgi membranes labeled with a green fluorescence protein (GFP)-tagged protein, we dissected the process into two elementary components: the reassembly of vesiculated Golgi membranes into punctate structures; and the subsequent reformation of these structures into stacks of cisternae near the nucleus. Using morphometric analysis, we studied the kinetics and biochemical requirements for the process, and revealed that an NEM-sensitive factor, cytoplasmic dynein, and GTP binding protein were involved in the Golgi reassembly.
