Graphical representation of the proto-ER model, showing the simple ancestral state and the more complex, vesicle-exhibiting derived state. Black rectangles, nutrient transporters; white rectangles, Sec translocases; gray bilobed patches, ribosomes; blue dots, nutrient molecules; red arrows, nutrient transport; golden arrows, membrane-protein insertion; gray arrow: vesicle progression.
