A SNARE involve din protein transport through the Golgi apparatus

Article Abstract:

Newly synthesized proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are received by the Golgi apparatus in eukaryotic cells. Not much is known about how the proteins move through the Golgi compartments. A protein of relative molecular mass 27K linked with the Golgi apparatus has now been identified. Its cytoplasmic domain was found to quantitatively inhibit transport from the ER to the trans-Golgi/TGN, indicating that such protein movement is dependent on SNARE-mediated vesicular transport.

CtBP/BARS induces fission of Golgi membranes by acylating lysophosphatidic acid

Article Abstract:

The CtBP/BARS protein functions in the dynamics of Golgi tubules and is required in the fission machinery operating at Golgi tubular networks. CtBP/BARS is found to use acyl-CoA to selectively catalyze the acylation of lyso-phosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid in pure lipidic systems as well as in Golgi membranes.
