Summary
The formation of three types of vesicles in the oomycetePhytophthora cinnamomi was investigated using ultrastructural and immunocytochemical techniques. All three vesicles are synthesised at the same time; one type serves a storage role; the others undergo regulated secretion. A monoclonal antibody Lpv-1 that is specific for glycoproteins contained in the storage vesicles labelled the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), elements in the transition region between ER and Golgi stack, and cis, medial and trans Golgi cisternae. Cpa2, a monoclonal antibody specific for glycoproteins contained within secretory dorsal vesicles labelled the transition region, cis cisternae and a trans-Golgi network. Vesicles possessing a structure characteristic of mature secretory ventral vesicles were observed in close association with the trans face of Golgi stacks. The results suggest that all three vesicles are formed by the Golgi apparatus. Double immunogold labelling with Lpv-1 and Cpa-2 showed that these two sets of glycoproteins occurred within the same Golgi cisternae, indicating that both products pass through and are sorted concurrently within a single Golgi stack.
