Abstract excerpt
ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs) are highly conserved small GTPases and are critical components of vesicle trafficking. Yeast Arf3p, despite its similarity to mammalian Arf6, is not required for endocytosis but is involved in polarity development. In this study, we identified an Arf3p interacting protein 1 (Afi1p), which, through its N-terminal conserved region, specifically interacts with GTP-bound Arf3p. Afi1p...
