ARF1 inactivity causes Golgi disassembly induced by AG1478 on H4
cells. A, ARF1-GTP pulldown assay. H4 cells or Rat2 cells were
transfected transiently with ARF1-GFP for 24 h, treated with DMSO (lanes
1 and 5), 14 μm AG1478 (lanes 2 and
6), 140 μm AG1478 (lanes 3 and 7),
and 5 μm BFA (lanes 4 and 8) for 1 h before
lysis. The upper panels show the amount of GTP bound ARF1-GTP, and
the lower panels show the total amount of ARF1-GTP in cells.
B, H4 cells were pretreated with control or 50 μm
AlCl3 and 30 mm NaF for 10 min as indicated and then
treated with 14 μm AG1478 or 1 μm BFA as indicated
together for 30 min. The cells were stained with an antibody against
β-COP. Bar, 10 μm.
