On keeping the right ER size

Nature Cell Biology 18, 1118 (2016). doi:10.1038/ncb3430 Author: Sebastian Schuck The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest membrane-bound organelle in cells, and its size needs to be carefully controlled. Downsizing the ER by autophagy is now shown to involve Sec62, a protein that also helps to build up the organelle. This link suggests a molecular switch for ER size control.
