| Abstract | Isolated Golgi complexes can be recognized in phosphotungstate (PTA) negative stain as stacks of membranous plates surrounded by a complex anastomosing network of tubules and vesicles. The extent of this tubular network is, however, much greater than can be observed in thin sections of whole cells. To determine which of the steps leading to the final negatively stained image may produce the observed changes, we have monitored each of the steps by other electron microscope and biochemical methods. The first damage to the membranes seems to occur during the initial isolation procedure as judged by the appearance of smooth patches on the freeze-fractured membrane faces that are normally covered with particles. Subsequent suspension of the Golgi fraction in water, to dilute the sucrose for negative staining, leads to the disappearnce of the stacking, to some tubulation and some vesiculation of the membranes as judged by thin section and freeze-cleave microscopy. The latter technique also reveals an increase in smooth-cleaving membrane faces. Application of the negative stain to the water-washed Golgi fraction, finally, produces extensive tubular arrays and a simultaneous decrease in the remaining large membranous vesicles. The freeze-cleaved tubular membranes appear essentially smooth except for small patches of aggregated particles. Parallel gel electrophoresis studies of the membranes and of the water and negative stain wash extracts indicate that protein extraction is involved in these morphological changes. PTA seems to be a particularly effective solvent for certain membrane proteins that are not removed by the water wash. These observations suggest that removal of membrane proteins alters structural restraints on the membrane lipids so that they behave semiautonomously like myelinics and form new artificial structures. This does not eliminate the possibility, however, that some tubules also exist in the Golgi apparatus in vivo. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
