Abstract: An image-based phenotypic screen was developed to identify smallmolecule regulators of intracellular traffic. Using this screenwe found that AG1478, a previously known inhibitor of epidermalgrowth factor receptor, had epidermal growth factor receptor-independentactivity in inducing the disassembly of the Golgi in human cells.Similar to brefeldin A (BFA), a known disrupter of the Golgi,AG1478 inhibits the activity of small GTPase ADP-ribosylationfactor. Unlike BFA, AG1478 exhibits low cytotoxicity and selectivelytargets the cis-Golgi without affecting endosomal compartment.We show that AG1478 inhibits GBF1, a large nucleotide exchangefactor for the ADP-ribosylation factor, in a Sec7 domain-dependentmanner and mimics the phenotype of a GBF1 mutant that has aninactive mutation. The treatment with AG1478 leads to the recruitmentof GBF1 to the vesicular-tubular clusters adjacent to the endoplasmicreticulum exit sites, a step only transiently observed previouslyin the presence of BFA. We propose that the treatment with AG1478delineates a membrane trafficking intermediate step that dependsupon the Sec7 domain.
