The early Golgi t-SNARE (target-membrane-associated soluble-N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) syntaxin 5 is thought to specify the docking site for both COPI and COPII coated vesicles originating from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and COPI vesicles on the retrograde pathway. We now show that there are two forms of syntaxin 5 that appear to be generated from the same mRNA by alternative initiation of translation. The short form (35 kDa) corresponds to the published sequence. The long form (42 kDa) has an N-terminal cytoplasmic extension containing a predicted type II ER retrieval signal. When grafted onto a reporter molecule, this signal localized the construct to the ER. Biochemical fractionation and immunofluorescence microscopy showed that there was less of the long form in the Golgi apparatus and more in peripheral punctate structures, some of which colocalized with markers of the intermediate compartment. The predicted absence of the long form in budding yeast points to a function unique to higher organisms.

D004721 Endoplasmic Reticulum A system of cisternae in the CYTOPLASM of many cells. In places the endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the plasma membrane (CELL MEMBRANE) or outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. If the outer surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes are coated with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is said to be rough-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH); otherwise it is said to be smooth-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, SMOOTH). (King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed) Ergastoplasm,Reticulum, Endoplasmic
D006056 Golgi Apparatus A stack of flattened vesicles that functions in posttranslational processing and sorting of proteins, receiving them from the rough ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM and directing them to secretory vesicles, LYSOSOMES, or the CELL MEMBRANE. The movement of proteins takes place by transfer vesicles that bud off from the rough endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus and fuse with the Golgi, lysosomes or cell membrane.
