Application
Golgicide A has been used as an inhibitor in retrotransposition assays and as an inhibitor of Golgi-specific brefeldin A-resistance guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1 protein (GBF1) in HeLa cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Golgicide A is a potent, highly specific, reversible inhibitor of the cis-Golgi ArfGEF GBF1. Arf proteins are members of the Ras superfamily of small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) that mediate vesicular transport. Golgicide A binds within an interfacial cleft formed between Arf1 and the GBF1 Sec7 domain. Golgicide A is a unique and powerful tool for further elucidating the mechanisms underlying assembly and transport within the Golgi, comparable to the use of dynasore for studying the dynamics of dynamin-mediated clathrin coat formation.
