FIGURE 7: A working model for Osh6's role in TGN-LE trafficking. (A) A summary of the maturation of the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and post-Golgi trafficking. The formation of Pma1-vesicles for secretion occurs at late cisternae of the TGN while vesicles carrying carboxylpeptidase Y (CPY) or other vacuolar hydrolases to late endosome (LE) occurs in early cisternae of the TGN [41] (see text for detail). (B) A hypothetical action of up-regulated Osh6. Up-regulation of Osh6 transports more PI4P to the early cisternae of the TGN, which facilitates the TGN-to-LE trafficking since the formation of the CPY-carrying vesicles depends on Gga2-PI4P binding. The accelerated TGN-LE trafficking refurbishes fresh lipids to LE and vacuoles and thus support vacuolar functions. As a side effect, transporting PI4P out of the late cisternae of TGN delays the secretion of Pma1 and leads to the rerouting of Pma1 to LE and vacuoles.
