RESUMO

Ypt1p regulates vesicle tethering and fusion events from the ER to the Golgi and through the early Golgi. Genetic studies have suggested a functional relationship between Ypt1p and Ypt31p/Ypt32p. Ypt31p and Ypt32p are a pair of functionally redundant GTPases that act after Ypt1p to mediate intra-Golgi traffic or the budding of post-Golgi vesicles from the trans-Golgi. Here we report that a novel Ypt32p exchange factor is a putative effector of Ypt1p. These findings implicate small GTP-binding proteins of the Ypt/Rab family in a signal cascade that directs membrane traffic through the secretory pathway.
