obsolete vesicle tethering to Golgi https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/31872 true GO:0099041 OBSOLETE. The initial, indirect interaction between a transport vesicle membrane and the membrane of the Golgi. This interaction is mediated by tethering factors (or complexes), which interact with both membranes. Interaction can occur via direct binding to membrane phospholipids or membrane proteins, or via binding to vesicle coat proteins. This process is distinct from and prior fusion. This term was obsoleted because it represents a molecular function rather than a biological process, and is pre-composed; the same information is better represented as a GO-CAM model. Annotations should be reviewed and reannotated to GO:7770062 'vesicle membrane tethering activity', combined with the appropriate vesicle transport pathway BP term as part of a GO-CAM model. tb biological_process 2013-01-08T15:07:50Z vesicle membrane tethering activity
