Abstract

GTP gamma S irreversibly inhibits protein transport between successive compartments of the Golgi stack in a cell-free system. Fluoride, potentiated by the addition of aluminum ion, also causes a strong inhibition. These are hallmarks of the involvement of a guanine nucleotide-binding or regulatory "G" protein. Inhibition by GTP gamma S requires a cytosolic inhibitory factor that binds to Golgi membranes during inhibition. Preincubation experiments reveal that GTP gamma S blocks the function of acceptor Golgi but not donor Golgi membranes. More specifically, a processing step in between vesicle attachment and the actual fusion event seems to be affected. Electron microscopy demonstrates a corresponding 5-fold accumulation of non-clathrin-coated buds and vesicles associated with the Golgi cisternae during inhibition by GTP gamma S.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
