Summary

Vesicle transport requires the recruitment of cytosolic proteins to specific membrane compartments. We have previously characterised a brefeldin A-sensitive trans-Golgi network-localised protein (p230) that is associated with a population of non-clathrin-coated vesicles. p230 recycles between the cytosol and the cytoplasmic face of buds/vesicles of trans-Golgi network membranes in a G protein-regulated manner. Identifying the mechanism responsible for Golgi targeting of p230 is important for the elucidation of its function. By transfection of COS cells with deletion mutants of p230 we here demonstrate that the C-terminal domain is necessary for targeting to the Golgi. Furthermore, the C-terminal 98 amino acid domain of p230 attached to the green fluorescent protein (GFP-p230-C98aa) was efficiently Golgi-localised in transfected COS cells. Deletion mutants of GFP-p230-C98aa together with alanine scanning mutagenesis identified a minimum stretch of 42 amino acids that is essential for Golgi targeting, suggesting that the conformation of the domain is critical for efficient targeting. In COS cells expressing high levels of GFP-p230-C98aa fusion protein, endogenous p230 was no longer associated with Golgi membranes, suggesting that the GFP fusion protein and endogenous p230 may compete for the same membrane target structures. The Golgi binding of GFP-p230-C98aa is brefeldin A-sensitive and is regulated by G proteins. These studies have identified a minimal sequence responsible for specific targeting of p230 to the Golgi apparatus, which displays similar membrane binding characteristics to wild-type p230.

2020 at The Company of Biologists

Despite the challenges of 2020, we were able to bring a number of long-term projects and new ventures to fruition. While we look forward to a new year, join us as we reflect on the triumphs of the last 12 months.


Mole – The Corona Files

"This is not going to go away, 'like a miracle.' We have to do magic. And I know we can."

Mole continues to offer his wise words to researchers on how to manage during the COVID-19 pandemic.


Cell scientist to watch – Christine Faulkner

In an interview, Christine Faulkner talks about where her interest in plant science began, how she found the transition between Australia and the UK, and shares her thoughts on virtual conferences.


Read & Publish participation extends worldwide

“The clear advantages are rapid and efficient exposure and easy access to my article around the world. I believe it is great to have this publishing option in fast-growing fields in biomedical research.”

Dr Jaceques Behmoaras (Imperial College London) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 60 institutions in 12 countries taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.
