Golgins play diverse roles in regulating the structure and function of the Golgi. The yeast golgin Imh1p is targeted to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) through interaction of its GRIP domain with GTP-bound Arl1p. Recycling of Arl1p and Imh1p to the cytosol requires the hydrolysis of GTP bound to Arl1p; however, the point at which GTP hydrolysis occurs remains unknown. Here, we report that self-interaction of Imh1p plays a role in modulating spatial inactivation of Arl1p. Deletion of IMH1 in yeast decreases the amount of the GTP-bound Arl1p and results in less Arl1p residing on the TGN. Biochemically, purified Imh1p competes with Gcs1p, an Arl1p GTPase-activating protein (GAP), for binding to Arl1p, thus interfering with the GAP activity of Gcs1p toward Arl1p. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the self-interaction of Imh1p attenuates the Gcs1p-dependent GTP hydrolysis of Arl1p. Thus, we propose that the golgin Imh1p serves as a feedback regulator to modulate the GTP hydrolysis of Arl1p.

Vesicular dynamics is one of the very important aspects of cellular physiology, an imbalance of which leads to the disorders or diseases in higher eukaryotes. We report the functional characterization of a palmitoylated protein kinase from Candida albicans whose homologue in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been reported to be involved in negative regulation of membrane fusion and was named Env7. However, the downstream target of this protein remains to be identified.

ADP ribosylation factor (Arf) GTPases are key regulators of membrane traffic at the Golgi complex. In yeast, Arf guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) Syt1p activates Arf-like protein Arl1p, which was accompanied by accumulation of golgin Imh1p at late Golgi, but whether and how this function of Syt1p is regulated remains unclear. Here, we report that the inositol-requiring kinase 1 (Ire1p)-mediated unfolded protein response (UPR) modulated Arl1p activation at late Golgi.

Small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are key regulators of membrane trafficking and their activities are determined by guanine-nucleotide-binding status. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Arl1p, an ARF-like protein, is responsible for multiple trafficking pathways at the Golgi. The GTP-hydrolysis activity of Arl1p is stimulated by its GTPase-activating protein Gcs1p, and binding with its effector Imh1p protects Arl1p from premature inactivation.

ADP ribosylation factors (Arfs) are the central regulators of vesicle trafficking from the Golgi complex. Activated Arfs facilitate vesicle formation through stimulating coat assembly, activating lipid-modifying enzymes and recruiting tethers and other effectors. Lipid translocases (flippases) have been implicated in vesicle formation through the generation of membrane curvature.
