AbstractAn image-based phenotypic screen was developed to identify small molecule regulators of intracellular traffic. Using this screen we found that AG1478, a previous known inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), had an EGFR independent activity in inducing the disassembly of the Golgi in human cells. Similar to Brefeldin A (BFA), a known disrupter of the Golgi, AG1478 inhibits the activity of small GTPase ARF. Unlike BFA, AG1478 exhibits low cytotoxicity and selectively targets the cis-Golgi without affecting endosomal compartment. We show that AG1478 inhibits GBF1, a large nucleotide exchange factor for ARF, in a Sec7 domain dependent manner and mimics the phenotype of a GBF1 mutant that has an inactive mutation. The treatment with AG1478 leads to the recruitment of GBF1 to the VTCs adjacent to the ERES, a step only transiently observed previously in the presence of BFA. We propose that the treatment with AG1478 delineates a membrane trafficking intermediate step that depends upon the Sec7 domain. 10.1074/jbc.M806592200
