Recent studies have shown that under conditions of Golgi breakdown, Golgi glycosylation enzymes recycle to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), whereas Golgi matrix proteins are retained in a set of cytoplasmic membranes. These findings have implications for the role of the ER in Golgi reassembly.
ATM, the product of the gene that is mutated in the human genetic disorder ataxia telangiectasia (A-T), responds to DNA damage by phosphorylating several key substrates that are involved in both the sensing of damage and the activation of cell-cycle checkpoints. The unexpected activation of ATM kinase in response to insulin supports a more general signalling role for this enzyme.
