Golgi reassembly and stacking protein (GRASP) is required for polysaccharide secretion and virulence in . In fungal species, extracellular vesicles (EVs) participate in the export of polysaccharides, proteins and RNA. In the present work, we investigated if EV-mediated RNA export is functionally connected with GRASP in using a Δ mutant. Since GRASP-mediated unconventional secretion involves autophagosome formation in yeast, we included the Δ mutant with defective autophagic mechanisms in our analysis. All fungal strains exported EVs but deletion of or profoundly affected vesicular dimensions. The mRNA content of the Δ EVs differed substantially from that of the other two strains. The transcripts associated to the endoplasmic reticulum were highly abundant transcripts in Δ EVs. Among non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), tRNA fragments were the most abundant in both mutant EVs but Δ EVs alone concentrated 22 exclusive sequences. In general, our results showed that the EV RNA content from Δ and WT were more related than the RNA content of Δ, suggesting that GRASP, but not the autophagy regulator Atg7, is involved in the EV export of RNA. This is a previously unknown function for a key regulator of unconventional secretion in eukaryotic cells.

Alcohol misuse increases infections and cancer fatalities, but mechanisms underlying its toxicity are ill-defined. We show that alcohol treatment of human tracheobronchial epithelial cells leads to inactivation of giantin-mediated Golgi targeting of glycosylation enzymes. Loss of core 2 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1, which uses only giantin for Golgi targeting, coupled with shifted targeting of other glycosylation enzymes to Golgi matrix protein 130-Golgi reassembly stacking protein 65, the site normally used by core 1 enzyme, results in loss of sialyl Lewis x and increase of sialyl Lewis a and α2-6sialo mucin O-glycans.

In mammalian cells, the Golgi apparatus undergoes fragmentation for its correct partition into two daughter cells during mitosis. Several Golgi structural proteins have been demonstrated to regulate Golgi disassembly/reassembly and spindle formation. However, it is largely unknown whether Golgi proteins mediate other major events in mitosis.

Gametogenesis in budding yeast involves a large-scale rearrangement of membrane traffic to allow the formation of a membrane, called the prospore membrane (PSM). However, the mechanism underlying this event is not fully elucidated. Here, we show that the number of endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES) per cell fluctuates and switches from decreasing to increasing upon the onset of PSM formation.

The VCPIP1-P97/VCP (Valosin-Containing Protein) complex is required for post-mitotic Golgi cisternae reassembly and maintenance in interphase. However, the organization and mechanism of this complex in regulating Golgi membrane fusion is still elusive. Here, the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the human VCPIP1-P97/VCP complex are presented.
