A Rab1 mutant affecting guanine nucleotide exchange promotes disassembly of the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract: Abstract. The Golgi apparatus is a dynamic organdie whose structure is sensitive to vesicular traffic and to cell cycle control. We have examined the potential role for mbla, a GTPase previously associated with ER to Golgi and intra-Golgi transport, 'in the formation and maintenance of Golgi structure. Bacterially expressed, recombinant rabla protein was mieroinjected into rat embryonic fibroblasts, followed by analysis of Golgi morphology by fluorescence and electron microscopy. Three recombinant proteins wer… Show more

“…The above results underscore the highly dynamic nature of the Golgi complex revealed from studies with agents and conditions that cause it to disassemble and reassemble (including BFA, okadaic acid, IQ, and overexpression of ELP1 or mutant Rab la) (Lippincott-Schwartz et al, 1990;Lucocq et al, 1991;Hsu et al, 1992;Takizawa et al, 1993;Wilson et al, 1994) and from studies examining the distribution of Golgi enzymes during mitosis . It is of considerable interest, therefore, that the number of Golgi fragments that we report during nocodazole treatment (on average 250 per HeLa cell) is the same number Warren and colleagues found during mitosis in HeLa cells using quantitative electron microscopy (Lucocq et al, 1989).…”

“…Cells transfected with S22N show Golgi disruption and relocation of Golgi proteins to perinuclear fragments. It is likely that those are analogous to Golgi elements induced in cells by microinjection of the S25N Rab1a mutant and shown by electron microscopic analysis to resemble polarized Golgi ministacks formed in the presence of nocodazole (Wilson et al, 1994). The COPII and COPI machinery is not noticeably perturbed in transfected cells.…”

“…Rab1 is responsible for transporting vesicles from the ER to the Golgi. Disruption of Rab1 activity, by knockdown or overexpression of the dominant-negative Rab1S25N, results in fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus (36,37). We tested the effect of overexpression of nonphosphorylatable T75A and phosphomimetic T75E Rab1 on Golgi structure to determine if the T75 site was critical for Rab1 function.…”
