Abstract:<br />

Golgi membranes, from yeast to humans, are uniquely enriched in PtdIns(4)P, although the role<br />

of this lipid has been poorly understood. Using a proteomic lipid binding screen we discovered<br />

that GOLPH3 (yeast VPS74p) is a major direct effector of PtdIns(4)P at the Golgi. Furthermore,<br />

we provide overwhelming evidence that GOLPH3 also interacts with MYO18A, providing a link<br />

from the Golgi to F-actin. We demonstrate that this linkage is required for normal Golgi<br />

morphology, ultrastructure, and vesicle budding for anterograde trafficking. These results can<br />

be explained simply by a role for this motor-containing, membrane-binding complex to deliver a<br />

tensile force to the Golgi membrane to assist in vesicle abstraction, and that this force<br />

consequently helps to flatten the stacks and to stretch the ribbon around the nucleus. The<br />

model makes testable predictions that have been experimentally confirmed. GOLPH3 is also the<br />

first example of a Golgi protein that is an oncogene, frequently overexpressed in human solid<br />

tumors. Our new data addresses the regulation of GOLPH3 function and its role in promoting<br />

oncogenic transformation.
