Disposal of membrane proteins in the late secretory pathway is thought to be exclusively facilitated by ESCRT-dependent lysosomal degradation. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Schmidt et al define a previously uncharacterized endosome and Golgi-associated degradation (EGAD) pathway. This pathway, which has remarkable similarities to ERAD in the endoplasmic reticulum, operates in post-ER organelles via the proteasome and contributes to lipid homeostasis in eukaryotic cells.

Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is a eukaryotic organelle that has a distinctive ribbon-like appearance. It is a primary sorting and dispatch station for cargo arriving from the ER. Newly arriving vesicles enter the cis face of the Golgi, closest to the ER, and are...
