networks and causes the dissociation of coatomer proteins from Golgi membranes. We have
previously shown that an additional effect of BFA is to stimulate the ADP-ribosylation of two
cytosolic proteins of 38 and 50 kDa (brefeldin A-ADP-riboslyated substrate (BARS)) and that
this effect greatly facilitates the Golgi-disassembling activity of the toxin. In this study, BARS
has been purified from rat brain cytosol and microsequenced, and the BARS cDNA has …
