Abstract excerpt
We showed previously that overexpression of the alpha subunit of G(z) or G(i2) suppresses nordihydroguaiaretic acid-induced Golgi disassembly. To determine whether the active form of Galpha is required to maintain the structure of the Golgi apparatus, we examined the effects of a series of Galpha GAPs, regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins, on the Golgi structure. Expression of RGSZ1 or RGSZ2, both of...
