Arf proteins: the membrane traffic police?

Cofactor for cholera toxin; activator of phospholipase D; regulator of coat-protein assembly; inhibitor of membrane traffic; ability to cause expansion of the endoplasmic reticulum and vesiculation of the Golgi: sensitivity to membrane phospholipids — each of these activities has been attributed to...

Description
Summary:Cofactor for cholera toxin; activator of phospholipase D; regulator of coat-protein assembly; inhibitor of membrane traffic; ability to cause expansion of the endoplasmic reticulum and vesiculation of the Golgi: sensitivity to membrane phospholipids — each of these activities has been attributed to Arf proteins. Can a single molecular mechanism link them all?
