TFG-1 is identified as a regulator of COPII coat assembly that interacts with SEC-16 to control protein exit from the endoplasmic reticulum. TFG–kinase fusion proteins have been detected in some cancers and might promote oncogenesis by prematurely phosphorylating target substrates as they exit the endoplasmic reticulum.
