Figure 3. Sites of membrane contact between the ER and the plasma membrane.

Figure 3

(A) Photo of a section of a cell analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. Note the close association between a segment of cortical ER and the plasma membrane.

(B) Model for three proteins that play key roles in forming sites of contact between the ER and the plasma membrane (Henne, et al., 2015, Manford, et al., 2012).
