Endoplasmic reticulum 7.6  ± 2.2
Golgi apparatus 19.2  ± 0.2
Plasma membrane 15.7  ± 5.0
Mitochondria 6.6  ± 0.6
Nucleus 20.5  ± 9.0
Cytoplasm 21.9  ± 1.5
Caveolae 8.5  ± 2.7
B Distribution of PLD2 within organelles Total gold particles (%)
Golgi apparatus
 Cisternae 5.9
± 4.1
 Rims 94.1
Plasma membrane
 Membrane 73.8
± 6.7
 Filopodia 26.2
C Golgi rim fraction (%) PLD2 Golgi rim enrichment (fold) PLD1 Golgi rim enrichment (fold)
16.6  ± 0.3 80.2 1.7

A: The intracellular localization of PLD2 immunoreactive gold particles was quantitated from electron micrographs of GH3 cells (N = 58; MATERIALS AND METHODS). The fraction of gold particles on caveolae was quantified independently of the plasma membrane fraction. 

B: The numbers of gold particles distributed on Golgi cisternal rims and plasma membrane filopodia were expressed as a percentage of the total immunoreactive gold localized on the respective organelle. 

C: The fraction of Golgi rims relative to cisternae was quantitated from electron micrographs of GH3 cells (N = 178) and the relative enrichment of immunoreactive PLD2 gold particles in rims was determined (MATERIALS AND METHODS).
