Expression of p180 without its ribosome binding domain produces extensive smooth membrane proliferation different from karmellae. Cells were transfected with pYEX-BX containing the ΔNT version of p180. Transformants were selected and grown in Cu2+-containing medium for 5 h before preparation for electron microscopy. Visible are parallel arrays of smooth membranes. Note the exclusion of cytoplasmic ribosomes from the areas where membranes are evident, and their high density in membrane-free zones. Bars, 200 nm.
