Abstract

The fungal macrocyclic lactone brefeldin A (BFA) has proved to be of great value as an inhibitor of protein trafficking in the endomembrane system of mammalian cells (Sciaky et al., 1997). BFA has also often been used as an inhibitor of secretion and vacuolar protein transport in plant cells, but just exactly how BFA achieves these effects has been a matter of debate for some time (e.g. Satiat-Jeunemaitre et al., 1996;Staehelin and Driouich, 1997). The apparently broad spectrum of BFA responses, combined with a lack of understanding of the primary target of BFA, has made it difficult to develop a coherent explanation of BFA effects, which in turn has led to a series of misconceptions that riddle the plant literature. In the last few years, there has been a tremendous increase in our understanding of the molecular targets and primary effects of BFA in mammalian and yeast systems (see below). On the plant side, several papers have recently been published that, by applying new tools and technologies, have shed fresh light onto the BFA problem (Baluska et al., 2002; Brandizzi et al., 2002; Emans et al., 2002; Ritzenthaler et al., 2002; Saint-Jore et al., 2002). In thisUpdate, we wish to evaluate these new findings and explore whether we are any closer to solving the dilemma of “what BFA really does.”

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.
