B Veit et al.
The Journal of cell biology, 122(6), 1197-1206 (1993-09-01)
We have recently shown that ilimaquinone (IQ) causes the breakdown of Golgi membranes into small vesicles (VGMs for vesiculated Golgi membranes) and inhibits vesicular protein transport between successive Golgi cisternae (Takizawa et al., 1993). While other intracellular organelles, intermediate filaments
P A Feldman et al.
The Journal of membrane biology, 155(3), 275-287 (1997-02-01)
To examine the mechanism(s) and pathways of gap junction formation and removal a novel and reversible inhibitor of protein secretion, ilimaquinone (IQ), was employed. IQ has been reported to cause the vesiculation of Golgi membranes, block protein transport at the
T C Taylor et al.
Molecular biology of the cell, 5(2), 237-252 (1994-02-01)
We investigated the role of ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) in Golgi function using biochemical and morphological cell-free assays. An ARF-free cytosol produced from soluble Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) extracts supports intra-Golgi transport by a mechanism that is biochemically indistinguishable from control
V Faúndez et al.
The Journal of cell biology, 138(3), 505-515 (1997-08-11)
Carrier vesicle generation from donor membranes typically progresses through a GTP-dependent recruitment of coats to membranes. Here we explore the role of ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) 1, one of the GTP-binding proteins that recruit coats, in the production of neuroendocrine
C Jamora et al.
Cell, 91(5), 617-626 (1997-12-11)
We have previously shown that ilimaquinone (IQ), a marine sponge metabolite, causes complete vesiculation of the Golgi stacks. By reconstituting the IQ-mediated vesiculation of the Golgi apparatus in permeabilized cells, we now demonstrate that this process does not require ARF
