| | Research Page: Role of BI-1 Protein in Breast Cancer Apoptosis |
 | | By using BI-1 as a "window" into this poorly understood endoplasmic reticulum-apoptosis pathway, we eventually hope to devise strategies for bypassing roadblocks to cell death that commonly arise in cancers. | | | BI-1 regulates an apoptosis pathway linked to endoplasmic reticulum stress. | | | From a therapy perspective, our research could assist in devising strategies to allow cancers to become more sensitive to chemotherapy. |

| | The first part of this presentation will focus on rough endoplasmic reticulum which gets its name from the presence of ribosomes on its surface. | | | How do ribosomes interact with the rough endoplasmic reticulum ? | | | As shown in this diagram, rough endoplasmic reticulum may either be vesicular or tubular. |

| | Endoplasmic reticulum |
| | During the maturation of the oocyte, the structure of the endoplasmic reticulum changes. | | | These changes can be seen in Figure 1. | | | What is interesting is that at fertilization, there is also a change in the structure of the endoplasmic reticulum, and this change occurs during the first minute of sea urchin fertilization. |

| | Endoplasmic means "within the plasm" and reticulum means "network". | | | The RER is dotted with ribosomes that form granules on the surface to give it a "rough" appearance. | | | There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum, rough ER and smooth ER. |

| | Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum |
| | Other functions of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum include transformation of bile pigments, glycogenolysis (the breakdown of glycogen), and detoxification of many drugs and chemical agents. | | | In striated muscles, which you use for lifting objects, the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the conduction of contracting impulses from the surface membrane of the cell into the depths of the muscle cell filled with muscle filaments, which are the basis for muscle contraction. | | | Two patterns are found in the cell, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the rough endoplasmic reticulum. |

| | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
| | In some cells there are dilated areas like the sacs of rough endoplasmic reticulum. | | | In the case of smooth endoplasmic reticulum in muscle cells, the vesicles and tubules serve as a store of calcium which is released as one step in the contraction process. | | | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is found in a variety of cell types and it serves different functions in each. |

| | This makes it easier to flush the toxic out of the body. | | | The word endoplasmic means "within" the cytoplasm, and the word reticulum is derived from a word meaning "network." The ER consists of a network of membranous tubules and sacs called cisternae. | | | Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a membranous labyrinth so extensive that it accounts for more than half the total membrane in many eukaryotic cells. |

| | When viewed by electron microscopy, some areas of the endoplasmic reticulum look "smooth" (smooth ER) and some appear "rough" (rough ER). | | | Throughout the eukaryotic cell, especially those responsible for the production of hormones and other secretory products, is a vast amount of membrane called the endoplasmic reticulum, or ER for short. | | | The rough ER appears rough due to the presence of ribosomes on the membrane surface. |
