Summary: Enables GTPase activity. Involved in several processes, including mitochondrion organization; nuclear envelope organization; and regulation of COPII vesicle coating. Located in endoplasmic reticulum exit site and mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane contact site. Part of COPII vesicle coat. Used to study chylomicron retention disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chylomicron retention disease. Orthologous to human SAR1A (secretion associated Ras related GTPase 1A) and SAR1B (secretion associated Ras related GTPase 1B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Structural basis for the initiation of COPII vesicle biogenesis.
Title: Structural basis for the initiation of COPII vesicle biogenesis.
It demonstrates that, besides its well-established role in ER-to-Golgi trafficking, the nuclear localization of Sar1 is essential for the viability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Title: Implication of a Novel Function of Sar1 in the Nucleus.
The product of AN11127 accelerates nucleotide exchange on SAR1, but not on its closely related GTPase ArfA(ARF1), as expected for a bona fide guanine nucleotide exchange factor.
Title: Identification of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for SAR1 in the filamentous fungal model Aspergillus nidulans.
Sar1 is a novel regulator of endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial contact sites in the metazoans.
Title: Sar1, a Novel Regulator of ER-Mitochondrial Contact Sites.
demonstrated that the chromosomal deletion of NEL1 leads to a significant growth defect in the temperature-sensitive sar1D32G background, suggesting a possible functional link between these proteins
Title: Sec23 homolog Nel1 is a novel GTPase-activating protein for Sar1 but does not function as a subunit of the coat protein complex II (COPII) coat.
The structure of Sec12 implicates potassium ion coordination in Sar1 activation.
Title: The structure of Sec12 implicates potassium ion coordination in Sar1 activation.
Data suggest that Sed4p appears to accelerate the dissociation of the Sec23/24p coat from the membrane, but the effect is limited to Sar1p molecules that do not capture cargo protein.
Title: Sed4p stimulates Sar1p GTP hydrolysis and promotes limited coat disassembly.
Thus, the initiation of vesicle budding by Sar1p couples the generation of membrane curvature with coat-protein assembly and cargo capture.
Title: Sar1p N-terminal helix initiates membrane curvature and completes the fission of a COPII vesicle.
a model for the maintenance of kinetically stable prebudding complexes during the Sar1p GTPase cycle that regulates cargo sorting into transport vesicles

Preferred Names: Arf family GTPase SAR1

NP_015106.1

ARF family GTPase; component of the COPII vesicle coat; required for transport vesicle formation during ER to Golgi protein transport; lowers membrane rigidity aiding vesicle formation; localizes to ER-mitochondrial contact sites where it enhances membrane curvature, thereby reducing contact size via its N-terminal amphipathic helix; regulates mitochondrial fission and fusion dynamics
