A report, 'Topology of amphipathic motifs mediating Golgi localization in ArfGAP1 and its splice isoforms,' is newly published data in Journal of Biological Chemistry. According to recent research from Haifa, Israel, "The interaction of the Arf1-directed GTPase-activating protein ArfGAP1 with the Golgi apparatus depends on motifs in its noncatalytic part that are unstructured in solution but are capable of folding into amphipathic helices in vitro upon interaction with poorly packed lipids. In previous studies a few hydrophobic residues that are critical for lipid binding and Golgi localization were identified, but the precise topology of the amphipathic motifs has not been...
