Ribosome-associated vesicles: A dynamic subcompartment of the endoplasmic reticulum in secretory cells

Abstract

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a highly dynamic network of membranes. Here, we combine live-cell microscopy with in situ cryo–electron tomography to directly visualize ER dynamics in several secretory cell types including pancreatic β-cells and neurons under near-native conditions. Using these imaging approaches, we identify a novel, mobile form of ER, ribosome-associated vesicles (RAVs), found primarily in the cell periphery, which is conserved across different cell types and species. We show that RAVs exist as distinct, highly dynamic structures separate from the intact ER reticular architecture that interact with mitochondria via direct intermembrane contacts. These findings describe a new ER subcompartment within cells.

Some of the cryo-ET was performed in the Beckman Institute Resource Center for Transmission EM at Caltech. Additional work was also performed at the Simons Electron Microscopy Center and National Resource for Automated Molecular Microscopy located at the New York Structural Biology Center, supported by grants from the Simons Foundation (349247), NYSTAR, and the NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences (GM103310) with added support from NIH S10 RR029300-01. CSTET data acquisition was partially supported by the Irving and Cherna Moskowitz Center for Nano and Bio-Nano Imaging at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Some of the live confocal images were collected and processed in the Confocal and Specialized Microscopy Shared Resource of the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at Columbia University and supported by NIH P30 CA013696. Part of the cryo-EM image processing was conducted as an Instruct-ERIC collaboration project PD1222 at the Instruct Image Processing Center.
