FIGURE 9:

GL54D, TM9SF3, and TMED7/p27 are Golgi restricted, while MANIIX and GRASP55 access the acrosome during germ cell differentiation. (A) GL54D is restricted to the Golgi apparatus (arrowhead) adjacent to the nucleus (n) and apposed to an unreactive acrosome (horizontal arrow). Late spermatids (asterisk) show no immunoreactivity, while the Golgi of pachytene spermatocytes is immunoreactive. (B) TM9SF3 reactive in the Golgi (arrowhead) apposed to an unreactive acrosome. Golgi immunoreactivity in pachytene spermatocytes and Sertoli cells is seen while late spermatids (asterisk) are nonreactive. (C) TMED7/p27 IHC shows reactive Golgi apparatus (boxes in C) without adjacent acrosome immunoreactivity. Golgi localization to pachytene spermatocytes and forming Hermes bodies of step 19 spermatids is seen. (D) IF of MANIIX in acrosome (box) and Golgi apparatus. (E) IHC of step 9 spermatids reactive for TMED7/p27 in the Golgi during its migration. Residual bodies are immunoreactive in step 19 spermatids. (F) GRASP55 showing acrosome but not Golgi immunoreactivity (asterisk over arrowhead) after Golgi migration. (G) Schematic representation of stacks (S) of the Golgi apparatus of the step 7 spermatid overlying the nucleus (N). Proteins localized to both the Golgi and acrosome (red bracket) are indicated. Proteins restricted to Golgi apparatus (green bracket) are shown. The trans-Golgi network (TGN), cis-Golgi element (CE), and wells (W) of spermatid Golgi apparatus are indicated.
