Golgi-associated membrane scaffolds, or tethers, have broad roles in membrane-bound protein and lipid trafficking and in maintaining Golgi architecture. Accordingly, they exert strong influence over cellular development, signalling, cargo modification and transport. An ever-expanding group of Golgins and multi-subunit tethering complexes assumes distinct functions in specific Golgi subcompartments in close partnership with Rab and ARL family GTPases. Their dysregulation or mutation impairs glycosylation, vesicle trafficking, and cytoskeletal dynamics, thereby contributing to a spectrum of human pathologies ranging from neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease) to cancers (e.g. lung, breast, colon) and metabolic defects (impaired insulin secretion and lipid droplet formation). Here, we review these diverse roles across molecular, cellular and organismal physiology.
