cisternae Space between membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum within cells.
cistron A series of codons in DNA that code for an entire polypeptide chain.
The cisterna chyli (receptaculum chyli) (Fig. 600) receives the two lumbar lymphatic trunks, right and left, and the intestinal lymphatic trunk.
The movement of cisternal contents through the stack means that essential processing enzymes are also moving away from their proper site of action.
Once they arrive in the cisternal stacks of the Golgi apparatus, proteins are sorted and transported to the trans-Golgi network or sent back to earlier compartments for re-processing.
late 1890s, although their precise role in the cell was not deciphered until the mid-1900s . Golgi function as a packaging plant, modifying vesicles produced by the rough endoplasmic reticulum. New membrane material is assembled in various cisternae ...
Signal peptides are highly hydrophobic but with some positively charged residues. The signal sequence is normally removed from the growing peptide chain by signal peptidase, a specific protease located on the cisternal face of the endoplasmic ...
