The chemical origin of the norrisolide-induced irreversible Golgi vesiculation was studied using a variety of norrisolide probes. This natural product was found to bind to a receptor on the Golgi membranes using the perhydroindane core fragment as the recognition element. The acetylated gamma-lactol-gamma-lactone side chain of norrisolide is essential for the irreversible Golgi vesiculation and can be replaced by other electrophilic motifs without loss of biological function. In particular, compound 10 reproduces the cellular phenotype of the natural product.

Positive-sense RNA viruses modify intracellular calcium stores, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus (Golgi) to generate membranous replication organelles known as viral factories. Viral factories provide a conducive and substantial enclave for essential virus replication concentrating necessary cellular factors and viral proteins in proximity. Here, we identified the vital role of a broad-spectrum antiviral, peruvoside in limiting the formation of viral factories.

Members of the ATG8 (autophagy-related protein 8) protein family can be non-canonically conjugated to single membrane-bound organelles. The exact function of ATG8 on these single membranes remains poorly understood. Recently, using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system, we identified a non-canonical conjugation of ATG8 pathway involved in the reconstruction of the Golgi apparatus upon heat stress.

Unlike the common conception of the Golgi apparatus as a static organelle, it is, in fact, a dynamic structure, as well as a sensitive sensor for the cellular status. In response to various stimuli, the intact Golgi structure undergoes fragmentation. This fragmentation can yield either partial fragmentation, resulting in several separated chunks, or complete vesiculation of the organelle.

The pancreatic islet β-cell's preference for release of newly synthesized insulin requires careful coordination of insulin exocytosis with sufficient insulin granule production to ensure that insulin stores exceed peripheral demands for glucose homeostasis. Thus, the cellular mechanisms regulating insulin granule production are critical to maintaining β-cell function. In this report, we utilized the synchronous protein trafficking system, RUSH, in primary β-cells to evaluate proinsulin transit through the secretory pathway leading to insulin granule formation.

Plants live as sessile organisms with large-scale gene duplication events and subsequent paralogue divergence during evolution. Notably, plant paralogues are expressed tissue-specifically and fine-tuned by phytohormones during various developmental processes. The coat protein complex II (COPII) is a highly conserved vesiculation machinery mediating protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus in eukaryotes.
