Figure 4

Electron tomography of the Golgi showing extensive intercisternal fusion induced by Golgin45.D171A expression. (A) Golgin45.D171A mutant fails to restore normal Golgi morphology in GRASP65/55-depleted cells, whereas expression of WT Golgin45 successfully restores normal Golgi stack morphology, as shown previously. (B) EM tomography tilt series showing extensive intercisternal fusion occurring throughout the Golgi stack in HeLa cells treated with GRASP65/55 siRNAs for 48 hours, followed by overnight expression of Golgin45.D171A mutant. Insets show the boxed areas along with 3D reconstruction of inter-cisternal fusion sites. Black arrow heads indicate intercisternal fusions.
