About
Kota Saito is a Professor at Akita University in Japan. His research primarily focuses on small GTPase activation, specifically employing novel methods such as the Small GTPase ActIvitY ANalysing (SAIYAN) system. He also investigates factors at the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi interface, studying the dynamics of cargo receptors and their roles in cellular secretion processes.

The p24 family of proteins have been regarded as cargo receptors for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi transport; however, their precise functions have yet to be revealed. In this issue, Pastor-Pareja and colleagues (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202309045) show that the interaction of these proteins with Tango1 is critical for their localization at the ER exit site (ERES) and efficient transport of secretory proteins in Drosophila.
