  • Title: "BFA bodies": a subcompartment of the endoplasmic reticulum.
    Author: Orci L, Perrelet A, Ravazzola M, Wieland FT, Schekman R, Rothman JE.
    Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A; 1993 Dec 01; 90(23):11089-93. PubMed ID: 8248213.
    Abstract:
    A specialized region of the endoplasmic reticulum--the BFA body--is defined by the site of accumulation of coatomer when nonclathrin coat protein (COP)-coated vesicle assembly is prevented by the drug brefeldin A (BFA). BFA bodies are formed by part smooth, part rough domains of endoplasmic reticulum that are cis to the classical transitional endoplasmic reticulum and to BFA-induced Golgi remnants.
