Recruitment to Golgi membranes of ADP-ribosylation factor 1 is mediated by the cytoplasmic domain of p23. EMBO J. 20:2001;6751-6760 The association of Arf-GDP with target membranes had previously been considered. In this paper, the possibility of a specific interaction between Arf and a cargo receptor is explored using biochemical methods. The authors propose the interaction provides a means of activating Arf at a site of relative cargo enrichment.

Cell. 1:2001;139-153 The development of the reagents and methodology for the in vivo examination of protein-protein interactions involved in Golgi function are described. The reported results provide valuable confirmation of specific predictions of the current paradigms for Golgi function. In addition, the results support the idea that interaction of Arf-GDP with cargo receptors precedes Arf activation.

In addition, the possibility that Arf GAP1 has a structural role in a COPI coat is presented.

A transport intermediate containing both GGA and AP-1 that is morphologically distinct from conventional transport vesicles was identified. The GGA/AP-1-containing transport intermediates budded from the trans-Golgi network and moved to the cell periphery.

Cell Biol. 160:2003;699-708 The mechanism by which AP-1 dissociates from transport vesicles was examined. Phosphorylation that modulates affinity for cargo was found to also regulate association of AP-1 with membranes. Release from transport vesicles involved protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A)-catalyzed dephophosphorylation of the μ subunit of AP-1. PP2A was recruited to the vesicle by Hsc70. Arf does not have a role in AP-1 dissociation in this model.
