	Endomembrane System
		The endomembrane system is a collection of membranous structures involved in transport within the cell.
		The main components of the endomembrane system are the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, vesicles, cell membrane and nuclear envelope.
		The endomembrane system is the transportation system of the cell.

		Prokaryote (A unicellular organism having cells lacking membrane-bound nuclei; bacteria are the prime example but also included are blue-green algae and actinomycetes and mycoplasma) s do not have an endomembrane system and thus lack most organelles.
		The plasma membrane (A thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell; controls passage of substances in and out of the cell) is a lipid bilayer membrane that separates the cell from its environment and regulates the transport of molecules and signals into and out of the cell.
		Lysosome (An organelle found in the cytoplasm of most cells (especially in leukocytes and liver and kidney cells)) s are the "digestive" units of the cell.

	Endomembrane System
		These vessels are together refered to as the endomembrane system, and all of the just described components communicate with each other and with the plasma membrane and nuclear membrane via the formation, release, and then merging of membrane bound vesicles.
		By all rights this lecture on the above described endomembrane system deserves to be considered as simply an extension of the previous lecture on eucaryotic cellular anatomy, since the endomembrane system is no less critical to making a eucaryotic cell what it is than are any of the other structures described in that previous lecture.
		Three categorically different protein locations in and out of the endomembrane system are each synthesized by a ribosome starting on the outside of the rough ER and are then extruded into (or at least toward) the lumen of the rough ER.

	The Specificity of Vesicle Trafficking: Coat Proteins and SNAREs -- Sanderfoot and Raikhel 11 (4): 629 -- THE PLANT CELL
		The endomembrane system consists of seven major compartments: the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the Golgi complex, the trans-Golgi network (TGN), the vacuole (or lysosome in mammals), the plasma membrane (PM), the prevacuolar compartment (PVC), and the endosome.
		The early endomembrane system consists of the ER and the stacks of the Golgi complex.
		The late endomembrane system consists of the TGN, the vacuole, the plasma membrane (PM), the PVC, and the endosome.

		The majority of the cargo (i.e.: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, etc.) that is exchanged between the different compartments of the secretory system occurs using transport vesicles that bud from a donor organelle, traverse the cytoplasm and then fuse with a target membrane.
		The cross-roads of the secretory system where cargo from as many as five different pathways converge on a common set of organelles, yet are sorted to their destination without mixing.
		It is clear that some aspects of the plant endomembrane system will be conserved among other eukaryotes, however other factors are not conserved and by studying these novel proteins using genetic, biochemical and molecular methods we will help to illuminate the nature of the uniqueness of the plant system.

		For plant system biology to succeed, we must adopt modeling and simulation tools that are used by engineers and actively utilize computational biology and mathematical methods for modeling complex biological systems and generating hypotheses.
		The endomembrane system is also essential for various aspects of plant development and signal transduction (reviewed in Surpin and Raikhel, 2004) [Full Text PDF].
		One of the interesting observations of these studies is that the endomembrane systems of the shoots and roots is uncoupled, a factor that will have to be taken into account when designing future studies (Avila et al., 2003 [Full Text PDF] ; Surpin and Raikhel, 2004) [Full Text PDF ].

		The endomembrane system of eukaryotic cells is responsible for delivery of newly synthesized protein and lipid to the outside of the cell; for uptake, processing and degradation of extracellular molecules; and for the regeneration and functioning of intracellular organelles.
		This activity is essential for the maintenance and functioning of the endomembrane system.
		Using a variety of GFP-based fluorescent imaging techniques, including dual-color time-lapse imaging, photobleaching and photoactivation, we have sought to understand the basis for protein targeting and retention within organelles; the processes by which transport intermediates form and move between compartments; and, the principles underlying organelle breakdown, reassembly and maintenance.

		The endoplasmic reticulum, ER, is part of the cell’s cast endomembrane system.
		Proteins produced by the ribosomes are transported to regions of the cell where they are needed, or they are transported to the Golgi body for export from the cell.
		Members of the endomembrane system pass materials to each other, either through direct contact or through the use of vesicles.
