title: Membrane traffic: GGAs sort ubiquitin.
abstract: Membrane proteins that are tagged with ubiquitin are diverted from the secretory pathway into lysosomes. New work shows that it is the GGA proteins that initiate sorting in the Golgi, and suggests that similar principles apply to multiple sorting steps.
