General procedure.

HeLa cells co-expressing a GFP-labeled Golgi localized protein and VSV-G are mixed with HeLa cells expressing a RFP-labeled Golgi localized protein. Cell fusion is triggered by acidic exposure of …

Inter-Golgi transport of Golgi resident glycosyl-transferase proteins.

HeLa cells expressing either GT-GFP and VSV-G, or ST-RFP were mixed and fused by acidic exposure (1 min, pH 5) and then monitored by confocal video-microscopy at 20°C. Cells were treated with CHX …

Inter-Golgi transport of small anterograde cargo.

(A) HeLa cells expressing either ssGFP-FM4-CD8 or ST-RFP (+VSV-G) were mixed and fused. Before fusion, cells were incubated at 20°C for 2 hr in the presence of CHX (100 μg/ml) and AP21998 (500 nM) …

Inter-Golgi transport is microtubule independent.

HeLa cell expressing GT-GFP (+VSV-G) and ST-RFP were mixed and fused. When required, nocodazole (2.10−3 μg/ml) was added 2 hr before the fusion and was maintained during the time course of the …
