EMP24 complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Plays a role in selective transport processes at the ER-Golgi interface by tethering both COPI (CPX-1652) and COPII (CPX-2523) complexes via dilysine motives on EMP24 and ERV25. May initially recruit the deactivated form of ARF1 (P11076), facilitating the formation of a COPI priming complex and subsequently enabling efficient budding. In addition, the ability of p24 proteins to oligomerize and to present multiple coatomer-binding motifs may promote COPI budding by docking coatomer more firmly to the membrane. Required for the export of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins to the Golgi apparatus through interaction with the SEC23-LST1 COPII cargo recruitment complex (CPX-1341).
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
