Abstract excerpt
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a large network made of membranous cisternae and tubules, which accounts for a large proportion of the total lipid bilayer endomembrane of the cell. In mammals and yeast, LUNAPARK proteins are preferentially localized at the three-way junctions of the ER network, stabilizing the junctions and establishing the ER architecture. We identified two Arabidopsis homologs and designated...
