As noted above, golgin-84, which has a critical role in the maintenance of the Golgi membrane ribbon, is cleaved during chlamydial infection, leading to the formation of ministacks that are arranged around the inclusion body; thus, by modifying Golgi membrane proteins important for stacking cisternae, HCMV and chlamydia appear to employ similar strategies for remodeling the organelle. Here, GOLGA5 is linked to chlamydia trachomatis infectious disease.
