ArfGAP1, which promotes GTP hydrolysis on the small G protein Arf1 on Golgi membranes, interacts preferentially with positively curved membranes through its amphipathic lipid packing sensor (ALPS) motifs. This should influence the distribution of Arf1-GTP when flat and curved regions coexist on a continuous membrane, notably during COPI vesicle...

Cytoplasmic coat proteins are required for cargo selection and budding of tubulovesicular transport intermediates that shuttle between intracellular compartments. To better understand the physical parameters governing coat assembly and coat-induced membrane deformation, we have reconstituted the Arf1-dependent assembly of the COPI coat on giant...
