Researchers have provided a surprisingly simple explanation for the mechanism and features of the "Golgi apparatus" -- a structure that has baffled generations of scientists. The new model ...

"Taken together, our findings suggest that Oxr1 and Ncoa7 regulate V-ATPase at the Golgi apparatus and trans-Golgi network to maintain optimal luminal pH for enzymatic activity," says Yoshimura.

Maintenance of the Golgi apparatus (GA) structure and function depends on Golgi matrix proteins. The posttranslational modification of Golgi proteins such as phosphorylation of members of the ...

In the new study, Robert Linhardt and colleagues point out that Golgi bodies are one of the most poorly understood organelles (specialized structures inside cells) in the human body.

BIOLOGISTS have worked out why some cells appear to lack crucial structures known as Golgi bodies. These multi-layered structures help to add sugar molecules to proteins in a process called ...
