Abstract
Virtually all transport events at the Golgi complex are regulated by Arf and Rab family GTPases. Recent work has advanced our knowledge regarding the mechanisms controlling GTPase activity, and it has become clear that GTPases do not act in isolation but rather function in complex networks of crosstalk and feedback. Together with earlier findings, these recent studies indicate that communication between GTPases, their regulatory proteins, effectors, and lipids plays a pivotal role in Golgi transport and cisternal maturation.
