Abstract

The Golgi complex is responsible for processing and sorting of secretory cargos. Microtubules are known to accelerate the transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi complex and from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. However, whether post- Golgi transport strictly requires microtubules is still unclear. Using the retention using selective hooks (RUSH) system to synchronize the trafficking of cargos, we show that anterograde transport of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is strongly reduced without microtubules. We show that two populations of Golgi elements co-exist in these cells. A centrally located and giantin-positive Golgi complex that sustains trafficking, and newl..
