ARF1 tubules represent a major membrane flow out of the Golgi. ARF1-dependent retrograde and anterograde tubules are tightly packed with ARF1EN-Halo and contain the cargoes KDEL receptor and VSV G, respectively. Clusters of coat proteins (clathrin and coatomer) are observed on the tubules. Retrograde tubules account for a flow of membranes of ∼360 μm2/h, ∼7% of the flow necessary for membrane balance, if one takes into account the anterograde flow of COPII vesicles (∼6000 μm2/h) and the growth of Golgi and post-Golgi membranes (∼500 μm2/h). Anterograde tubules account for ∼900 μm2/h, approximately threefold of what is needed for plasma membrane (PM) growth (∼340 μm2/h). MTOC, microtubule-organizing center.
