TLDR
Comparison of the ER–Golgi interface across different systems, particularly mammalian and plant cells, reveals fundamental elements and distinct organization of this interface that should provide key insights into the mechanisms that control efficient trafficking of proteins and lipids through the secretory pathway.Abstract:
Coat protein complex I (COPI) and COPII are required for bidirectional membrane trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi. While these core coat machineries and other transport factors are highly conserved across species, high-resolution imaging studies indicate that the organization of the ER-Golgi interface is varied in eukaryotic cells. Regulation of COPII assembly, in some cases to manage distinct cellular cargo, is emerging as one important component in determining this structure. Comparison of the ER-Golgi interface across different systems, particularly mammalian and plant cells, reveals fundamental elements and distinct organization of this interface. A better understanding of how these interfaces are regulated to meet varying cellular secretory demands should provide key insights into the mechanisms that control efficient trafficking of proteins and lipids through the secretory pathway.read more

Autophagy induction via STING trafficking is a primordial function of the cGAS pathway.
TL;DR: It is reported that cGAMP-induced autophagy is important for the clearance of DNA and viruses in the cytosol and Interestingly, STING from the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis inducesAutophagy but not interferons in response to stimulation by cGamp, which suggests that induction of autophileagy is a primordial function of the cGAS–STING pathway.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review what computer, in vitro, in vivo, and pharmacological experiments tell us about the accumulation and deposition of the oligomers of the (Aβ, tau), α-synuclein, IAPP, and superoxide dismutase 1 proteins, which have been the mainstream concept underlying Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease (PD), type II diabetes (T2D), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) research.

TL;DR: The vast majority of proteins that a cell secretes or displays on its surface first enter the endoplasmic reticulum, where they fold and assemble, and only properly assembled proteins advance from the ER to the cell surface.

TL;DR: Recombinant v- and t- SNARE proteins reconstituted into separate lipid bilayer vesicles assemble into SNAREpins-SNARE complexes linking two membranes, leading to spontaneous fusion of the docked membranes at physiological temperature.

The Mechanisms of Vesicle Budding and Fusion
TL;DR: Genetic and biochemical analyses of the secretory pathway have produced a detailed picture of the molecular mechanisms involved in selective cargo transport between organelles, including Vesicle budding and cargo selection, which depend on a machinery that includes the SNARE proteins.

Rapid redistribution of Golgi proteins into the ER in cells treated with brefeldin A: evidence for membrane cycling from Golgi to ER.
TL;DR: It is suggested that BFA disrupts a dynamic membrane-recycling pathway between the ER and cis/medial Golgi, effectively blocking membrane transport out of but not back to the ER.
