Article Abstract
Heterotrimeric G proteins transduce the ligand binding of transmembrane G protein coupled receptors into a variety of intracellular signaling pathways. Recently, heterotrimeric Gβγ subunit signaling at the Golgi complex has been shown to regulate the formation of vesicular transport carriers that deliver cargo from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. In addition to vesicles, membrane tubules have also been shown to mediate export from the Golgi complex, which requires the activity of cytoplasmic phospholipase A (PLA) enzyme activity. Through the use of an reconstitution assay with isolated Golgi complexes, we provide evidence that Gβ1γ2 signaling also stimulates Golgi membrane tubule formation. In addition, we show that an inhibitor of Gβγ activation of PLA enzymes inhibits Golgi membrane tubule formation. Additionally, purified Gβγ protein stimulates membrane tubules in the presence of low (sub-threshold) cytosol concentrations. Importantly, this Gβγ stimulation of Golgi membrane tubule formation was inhibited by treatment with the PLA antagonist ONO-RS-082. These studies indicate that Gβ1γ2 signaling activates PLA enzymes required for Golgi membrane tubule formation, thus establishing a new layer of regulation for this process.

Polarized transport is essential for the construction of multiple plasma membrane domains within cells. photoreceptors serve as excellent model systems for studying the mechanisms of polarized transport. We conducted a comprehensive soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) screening of the fly genome using RNAi knockdown and CRISPR/Cas9 somatic knockout combined with the CoinFLP system to identify SNAREs involved in post-Golgi trafficking.

Dendritic and axonal plasticity, which mediates neurobiological recovery after a stroke, critically depends on the mitochondrial function of neurons. To investigate, in vivo, neuronal mitochondrial function at the stroke recovery stage, we employed Mito-tag mice combined with cerebral cortical infection of AAV9 produced from plasmids carrying Cre-recombinase controlled by two neuronal promoters, synapsin-I (SYN1) and calmodulin-kinase IIa to induce expression of a hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) that localizes to mitochondrial outer membranes of SYN1 positive (SYN) and CaMKIIa positive (CaMKIIa) neurons. These mice were then subjected to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and sacrificed 14 days post stroke.

With a high mortality rate, colon cancer (CC) is the third most common malignant tumor worldwide. The primary causes are thought to be the high invasiveness and migration of CC cells. The functions of Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3), stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1), and the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway in the invasion and migration of CC cells were examined in this study.

Transcripts of the KRAS locus are alternatively spliced to generate two proteins, KRAS4A and KRAS4B, which differ in their membrane-targeting sequences. These splice variants have been conserved for more than 450 million years, suggesting non-overlapping functions driven by differential membrane association. Here, we use proximity labeling to map the differential interactomes of the KRAS splice variants.
