Since VAMP3 normally traffics through the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane in host cells and the Golgi apparatus becomes fragmented around the inclusion during infection with C. trachomatis serovar L2 (43), we wanted to understand if the Golgi structure played a role in VAMP3 localization at C. trachomatis serovar L2 inclusions. This evidence concerns the gene VAMP3 and infection.
