Proteomics identifies GOLPH3 with a link between Golgi structure, cancer, DNA damage and protection from cell death [Minireview]

GOLPH3 is the first example of a Golgi resident oncogene protein. It was independently identified in multiple screens; first in proteomic-based screens as a resident protein of the Golgi apparatus, and second as an oncogene product in a screen for genes amplified in cancer. A third screen uncovered the association of GOLPH3 with the Golgi resident phospholipid, phosphatidyl inositol 4 phosphate (PI4P) to maintain the characteristic ribbon structure of the Golgi apparatus favouring vesicular transport of secretory proteins.
