Abstract
The transmembrane precursor of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) exits the trans-Golgi network (TGN) in tubular carriers for subsequent trafficking and delivery to the cell surface; however, the molecular machinery responsible for Golgi export is unknown. We previously reported that members of the TGN golgin family are associated with subdomains and tubules of the TGN. Here, we show that the TGN golgin, p230/golgin-245 (p230), is essential for intracellular trafficking and cell surface delivery of TNF in transfected HeLa cells and activated macrophages. Live-cell imaging revealed that TNF transport from the TGN is mediated selectively by tubules and carriers marked by p230. Significantly, LP..
