Abstract excerpt
Brefeldin A (BFA) blocks protein transport out of the Golgi apparatus and causes disassembly of this organelle in mammalian cells. The primary effect of BFA is the release of the non-clathrin coat from Golgi membranes and vesicles. We sought to elucidate the mechanism of BFA action using a genetic approach in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When an erg6 S. cerevisiae strain is treated with BFA, cell growth is arrested,...
