The WDR11 complex facilitates the tethering of AP-1-derived vesicles
Trafficking from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network requires recognition of vesicle tethers during membrane docking. Here, the authors identify a complex localised to AP-1 generated vesicles containing WDR11, C17orf75 and FAM91A, which together with ...

Golgicide A Reveals Essential Roles for GBF1 in Golgi Assembly and Function [PDF]
ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (Arf1) plays a critical role in regulating secretory traffic and membrane transport within the Golgi of eukaryotic cells. Arf1 is activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (ArfGEFs) which confer spatial and temporal ...

Multiple activities of Arl1 GTPase in the trans-Golgi network [PDF]
ABSTRACT ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs) and ADP-ribosylation factor-like proteins (Arls) are highly conserved small GTPases that function as main regulators of vesicular trafficking and cytoskeletal reorganization. Arl1, the first identified member of the large Arl family, is an important regulator of Golgi complex structure and ...

Protein trafficking through the endosomal system prepares intracellular parasites for a home invasion [PDF]
Toxoplasma (toxoplasmosis) and Plasmodium (malaria) use unique secretory organelles for migration, cell invasion, manipulation of host cell functions, and cell egress. In particular, the apical secretory micronemes and rhoptries of apicomplexan parasites

The Parkinson's Disease Protein LRRK2 Interacts with the GARP Complex to Promote Retrograde Transport to the trans-Golgi Network. [PDF]
Summary: Mutations in Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) cause Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the precise function of LRRK2 remains unclear. We report an interaction between LRRK2 and VPS52, a subunit of the Golgi-associated retrograde protein ...

Regulation of cargo export and sorting at the trans‐Golgi network [PDF]
The sorting and distribution to different final destinations of roughly a third of the membrane and secreted proteins occurs at the level of the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). This TGN mission involves efficient mechanisms of cargo recognition and activation of specific signalling pathways.

Golgi Apparatus: A Potential Therapeutic Target for Autophagy-Associated Neurological Diseases
Autophagy has dual effects in human diseases: appropriate autophagy may protect cells from stress, while excessive autophagy may cause cell death. Additionally, close interactions exist between autophagy and the Golgi.
