TbG63, a golgin involved in Golgi architecture inTrypanosoma brucei

Abstract: Golgins are coiled-coil proteins that have been implicated in the structure and function of the Golgi complex. Here, we identify and characterize a trypanosomal golgin, TbG63, showing that it has a C-terminal membrane anchor and an N-terminus that projects into the cytoplasm. TbG63 in procyclic parasites is localized to the Golgi and interacts with the active, GTP-form of TbRab1A. Overexpression of TbG63 has dramatic effects on Golgi architecture – effects that require the N-terminus – whereas depletion has li… Show more

“…To confirm the lack of basal bodies and bi-lobed structures, the purified flagella fraction was fixed and labeled with an antibody against TbCentrin4, which stains both the basal bodies and the bi-lobed structure [10]. While TbCentrin4 labeling was readily identifiable at the tip of each flagellum in the extracted flagellar complex, no TbCentrin4 staining was detected in the detached flagella fraction (Fig.…”

“…For labeling with anti-TbMORN1, the cells were extracted with 0.5% Nonidet P-40 in PEM, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and then processed for antibody labeling. Anti-TbGRASP [3], L3B2 [24], YL1/2 [25], anti-TbBILBO1 [4], anti-TbMORN1 [12], and anti-TbCentrin4 [10] were used to label the Golgi, the FAZ, the basal bodies, the FPC and the bi-lobed structure, respectively. DAPI (2 µg/ml) was used to stain kinetoplast and nuclear DNA.…”

“…TbG63 is involved in the Golgi architecture or the growth of the parasites in the bloodstream (Ramirez et al 2008). The Drosophila Lava lamp is a novel golgin that is required for cellularization by promoting dynein-based Golgi motility (Papoulas et al 2005).…”

“…Golgins are characterized by their predicted, highly extended, coiled-coil structures, and they typically have a high glutamic acid content (Ramirez et al, 2008). Certain Golgins have been implicated as transport vesicle tethers that help capture vesicles and bring them closer to their cognate targets; they are also essential for the maintenance of normal Golgi structure.…”
