We have developed a cell-free assay that reproduces vesicular budding during exit from the Golgi complex. The starting preparation for the In vitro system was a rat liver stacked Golgi fraction ...

An assay designed to measure the formation of functional transport vesicles was constructed by modifying a cell-free assay for protein transport between compartments of the Golgi (Balch, W. E., W. G.

Recent studies have shown that under conditions of Golgi breakdown, Golgi glycosylation enzymes recycle to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), whereas Golgi matrix proteins are retained in a set of ...

Prof. Fang-Jen S. Lee's team at National Taiwan University has discovered that an intermediate cellular metabolism molecule, glycerol, regulates the localization and function of the Golgi protein Imh1 ...

Vesicles are small cellular containers. They perform a variety of functions, such as helping to transport materials that an organism needs to survive and recycle waste materials. There are several ...

A recent study by a group of scientists has revealed that a different mechanism is responsible for the formation and maintenance of the cell organelle called endosome that sorts and distributes ...
