Abstract
The emergence of phase separation phenomena among macromolecules has identified biomolecular condensates as fundamental cellular organizers. These condensates concentrate specific components and accelerate biochemical reactions without relying on membrane boundaries. Although extensive studies have revealed a large variety of nuclear and cytosolic membraneless organelles, we are witnessing a surge in the exploration of protein condensates associated with the membranes of the secretory pathway, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. This review focuses on protein condensates in the secretory pathway and discusses their impact on the organization and functions of this cellular process. Moreover, we explore the modes of condensate-membrane association and the biophysical and cellular consequences of protein condensate interactions with secretory pathway membranes.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus, long recognized for its roles in protein processing and vesicular trafficking, has recently been identified as a crucial contributor to innate immune signaling pathways. This review discusses our expanding understanding of the Golgi apparatus's involvement in initiating and activating these pathways. It highlights the significance of membrane connections between the Golgi and other organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, endosomes, and autophagosomes. These connections are vital for the efficient transmission of innate immune signals and the activation of effector responses. Furthermore, the article delves into the Golgi apparatus's roles in key immune pathways, including the inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1, the cGAS-STING pathway, and TLR/RLR signaling. Overall, this review aims to provide insights into the multifunctional nature of the Golgi apparatus and its impact on innate immunity.

Abstract
Secretory proteins are sorted at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) for export into specific transport carriers. However, the molecular players involved in this fundamental process remain largely elusive. Here, we identified the human transmembrane protein TGN46 as a receptor for the export of secretory cargo protein PAUF in CARTS - a class of protein kinase D-dependent TGN-to-plasma membrane carriers. We show that TGN46 is necessary for cargo sorting and loading into nascent carriers at the TGN. By combining quantitative fluorescence microscopy and mutagenesis approaches, we further discovered that the lumenal domain of TGN46 encodes for its cargo sorting function. In summary, our results define a cellular function of TGN46 in sorting secretory proteins for export from the TGN.

Abstract
Protein kinase D (PKD) is a serine/threonine kinase family that controls important cellular functions, most notably playing a key role in the secretory pathway at the trans-Golgi network. Aberrant expression of PKD isoforms has been found mainly in breast cancer, where it promotes various cellular processes such as growth, invasion, survival and stem cell maintenance. In this review, we discuss the isoform-specific functions of PKD in breast cancer progression, with a particular focus on how the PKD controlled cellular processes might be linked to deregulated membrane trafficking and secretion. We further highlight the challenges of a therapeutic approach targeting PKD to prevent breast cancer progression.

Abstract
Studies using kinase inhibitors have shown that the protein kinase D (PRKD) family of serine/threonine kinases are required for formation and function of osteoclasts in culture. However, the involvement of individual protein kinase D genes and their in vivo significance to skeletal dynamics remains unclear. In the current study we present data indicating that protein kinase D3 is the primary form of PRKD expressed in osteoclasts. We hypothesized that loss of PRKD3 would impair osteoclast formation, thereby decreasing bone resorption and increasing bone mass. Conditional knockout (cKO) of Prkd3 using a murine Cre/Lox system driven by cFms-Cre revealed that its loss in osteoclast-lineage cells reduced osteoclast differentiation and resorptive function in culture. Examination of the Prkd3 cKO mice showed that bone parameters were unaffected in the femur at 4 weeks of age, but consistent with our hypothesis, Prkd3 conditional knockout resulted in 18 % increased trabecular bone mass in male mice at 12 weeks and a similar increase at 6 months. These effects were not observed in female mice. As a further test of our hypothesis, we asked if Prkd3 cKO could protect against bone loss in a ligature-induced periodontal disease model but did not see any reduction in bone destruction in this system. Together, our data indicate that PRKD3 promotes osteoclastogenesis both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
G protein Gβγ subunits are key mediators of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling under physiological and pathological conditions; their inhibitors have been tested for the treatment of human disease. Conventional wisdom is that the Gβγ complex is activated and subsequently exerts its functions at the plasma membrane (PM). Recent studies have revealed non-canonical activation of Gβγ at intracellular organelles, where the Golgi apparatus is a major locale, via translocation or local activation. Golgi-localized Gβγ activates specific signaling cascades and regulates fundamental cell processes such as membrane trafficking, proliferation, and migration. More recent studies have shown that inhibiting Golgi-compartmentalized Gβγ signaling attenuates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and prostate tumorigenesis, indicating new therapeutic targets. We review novel activation mechanisms and non-canonical functions of Gβγ at the Golgi, and discuss potential therapeutic interventions by targeting Golgi-biased Gβγ-directed signaling.

Abstract
Sorting and transport of secretory and membrane proteins occur at the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Carriers of the TGN to the cell surface (CARTS) are one of the carriers that mediate the transport of certain proteins from the TGN to the plasma membrane. Recent studies have shown that CARTS formation is dependent on membrane contact sites between the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we describe a method to visualize by fluorescence microscopy the formation of CARTS at the TGN. This method combines a reverse dimerization system for synchronized export from the ER of a CARTS-specific cargo, pancreatic adenocarcinoma upregulated factor, together with the halt of export from the TGN by a 20 °C block. Incubation of cells at 37 °C releases the 20 °C block and allows to monitor the formation of CARTS at the TGN. Finally, we also present a workflow to quantify CARTS formation using ImageJ software.

Abstract
Golgi apparatus is the central component of the mammalian secretory pathway and it regulates the biosynthesis of the plasma membrane through three distinct but interacting processes: (a) processing of protein and lipid cargoes; (b) creation of a sharp transition in membrane lipid composition by non-vesicular transport of lipids; and (c) vesicular sorting of proteins and lipids at the trans-Golgi network to target them to appropriate compartments. We discuss the molecules involved in these processes and their importance in physiology and development. We also discuss how mutations in these molecules affect plasma membrane composition and signaling leading to genetic diseases and cancer.

Abstract
The Golgi functions principally in the biogenesis and trafficking of glycoproteins and lipids. It is compartmentalized into multiple flattened adherent membrane sacs termed cisternae, which each contain a distinct repertoire of resident proteins, principally enzymes that modify newly synthesized proteins and lipids sequentially as they traffic through the stack of Golgi cisternae. Upon reaching the final compartments of the Golgi, the trans cisterna and trans-Golgi network (TGN), processed glycoproteins and lipids are packaged into coated and non-coated transport carriers derived from the trans Golgi and TGN. The cargoes of clathrin-coated vesicles are chiefly residents of endo-lysosomal organelles, while uncoated carriers ferry cargo to the cell surface. There are outstanding questions regarding the mechanisms of protein and lipid sorting within the Golgi for export to different organelles. Nonetheless, conceptual advances have begun to define the key molecular features of cargo clients and the mechanisms underlying their sorting into distinct export pathways, which we have collated in this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster.
