Editing Golgi apparatus (section)

== Subcellular localization ==

The subcellular localization of the Golgi apparatus varies among eukaryotes. In mammals, a single Golgi apparatus is usually located near the cell nucleus, close to the centrosome. Tubular connections are responsible for linking the stacks together. Localization and tubular connections of the Golgi apparatus are dependent on [[microtubule]]s. In experiments, it is seen that as microtubules are depolymerized, the Golgi apparatuses lose mutual connections and become individual stacks throughout the cytoplasm.<ref name="Alberts-1994">{{cite book| title=Molecular Biology of the Cell| url=https://archive.org/details/molecularbiology00albe| last=Alberts| first=Bruce| publisher=Garland Publishing| isbn=978-0-8153-1619-0| display-authors=etal| year=1994| url-access=registration}}</ref> In [[yeast]], multiple Golgi apparatuses are scattered throughout the cytoplasm (as observed in ''[[Saccharomyces cerevisiae]]''). In [[plant]]s, Golgi stacks are not concentrated at the centrosomal region and do not form Golgi ribbons.<ref name="Nakano-2010">{{cite journal | vauthors = Nakano A, Luini A | title = Passage through the Golgi | journal = Current Opinion in Cell Biology | volume = 22 | issue = 4 | pages = 471–8 | date = August 2010 | pmid = 20605430 | doi = 10.1016/j.ceb.2010.05.003 }}</ref> Organization of the plant Golgi depends on [[actin]] cables and not microtubules.<ref name="Nakano-2010"/> The common feature among Golgi is that they are adjacent to [[endoplasmic reticulum]] (ER) exit sites.<ref name="Suda-2012">{{cite journal | vauthors = Suda Y, Nakano A | title = The yeast Golgi apparatus | journal = Traffic | volume = 13 | issue = 4 | pages = 505–10 | date = April 2012 | pmid = 22132734 | doi = 10.1111/j.1600-0854.2011.01316.x | doi-access = free }}</ref>
