Reduced cleaved caspase-7/8 and PARP in GNL1-overexpressing HCT116 cells
Cell cycle progression
Increased BrdU incorporation and E2F1 expression in GNL1-transfected cells
p21 stabilization
Cytoplasmic retention of p21 via AKT phosphorylation in GNL1-expressing cells
Interactions and Pathway Crosstalk
GNL1 interacts with ribosomal protein S20 (RPS20), which stabilizes GNL1 and amplifies its pro-proliferative effects. Antibody-based co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) confirmed this interaction in HCT116 and AGS cells.

This antibody targets GNL1, a protein that activates ARF proteins by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. GNL1 plays a crucial role in vesicular protein sorting and acts as the major regulator of retrograde Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum trafficking. It is also involved in the endocytosis process and may function redundantly with GNOM. GNL1 regulates vesicle trafficking required for the coordinated polar localization of auxin efflux carriers, which in turn determines the direction of auxin flow. It mediates the endocytosis of PIN2 from the plasma membrane to endosomal compartments and is required for the maintenance of endoplasmic reticulum morphology.

Large ARF-GEFs of the GBF1 class perform a conserved role in endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi trafficking and secretion, which is carried out by GNL1 and GNOM in Arabidopsis. [GNL1] PMID: 17653190
GNL1 is a BFA-resistant GBF protein that functions with a BFA-sensitive ARF-GEF both at the Golgi and in selective endocytosis, but not in recycling from endosomes. [GNL1] PMID: 17653191
GNL2 encodes a protein homologous to the adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation factor-guanine nucleotide exchange factors, GNOM and GNL1, which are involved in endosomal recycling and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi vesicular trafficking. PMID: 19686373
