Question

This organelle can be experimentally removed by using Brefeldin A to block the activation of ARFs. One model of this organelle sees it as many sections defined by RAB GTPases. Anterograde transport to this organelle is facilitated by vesicles coated by COPII (“COP-two”). This structure adds (10[1])mannose-6-phosphate (10[1])to proteins destined for the lysosome. Most O-linked glycosylation happens in this organelle, which is made up of stacks of cisternae (-5[1])and whose cis face receives input from the endoplasmic reticulum. (10[1])For 10 points, name this organelle that packages proteins (-5[1])into membrane-bound (10[1])organelles and is named after its Italian discoverer. ■END■ (10[1])
