Abstract
Movement of proteins and lipids between the various compartments of eukaryotic cells is fundamental to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and an understanding of the molecular mechanisms that govern these processes remains a key goal of cell biological research. This aim has been greatly facilitated by the development of assays that recapitulate specific events in vitro. In the following article we provide an overview of some of the currently used assays that measure the movement of proteins within the exocytic and endocytic pathways, and provide a starting point for those wishing to establish their own systems to study other vesicular transport steps.

Abstract
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells lacking SHR3, amino acid permeases do not enter into COPII transport vesicles and specifically accumulate in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. Shr3p functions as a packaging chaperone to prime transport vesicle formation in the proximity of amino acid permeases. A genetic screen was developed that enabled the Schizosaccharomyces pombe SHR3 functional homologue, designated psh3(+) (pombe SHR3), to be cloned. The psh3(+) gene encodes a protein of 215 amino acids, which shares a high degree of structural and functional similarity with Shr3p. The heterologous expression of psh3(+) complements many, but not all, shr3 null mutant phenotypes in S. cerevisiae in a temperature-dependent manner. Psh3p is localised to the endoplasmic reticulum of S. pombe cells, and strains lacking the psh3(+)gene exhibit decreased rates of amino acid uptake due to reduced levels of functional permeases in the plasma membrane. No packaging chaperones, or proteins exhibiting homology with packaging chaperones, have so far been identified in other eukayotic organisms. The findings reported here are the first to establish that specific packaging chaperones exist in divergent organisms, and demonstrate a conserved function of packaging chaperones in facilitating the export of large polytopic membrane proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
The synaptic vesicle protein synaptotagmin was proposed to act as a major docking site for the recruitment of clathrin coats implicated in endocytosis, including the recycling of synaptic vesicles. We show here that the C2B domain of synaptotagmin binds mu2- and alpha-adaptin, two of the four subunits of the endocytic adaptor complex AP-2. mu2 represents the major interacting subunit of AP-2 within this complex. Its binding to synaptotagmin is mediated by a site in subdomain B that is distinct from the binding site for tyrosine-based sorting motifs located in subdomain A. The presence of the C2B domain of synaptotagmin at the surface of liposomes enhances the recruitment of AP-2 and clathrin. Conversely, perturbation of the interaction between synaptotagmin and AP-2 by synprint, the cytoplasmic synaptotagmin-binding domain of N-type calcium channels, inhibits transferrin internalization in living cells. We conclude that a dual interaction of synaptotagmin with the clathrin adaptor AP-2 plays a key physiological role in the nucleation of endocytic clathrin-coated pits.

Abstract
The mechanism by which soluble proteins without sorting motifs are transported to the cell surface is not clear. Here we show that soluble green fluorescent protein (GFP) targeted to the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum but lacking any known retrieval, retention or targeting motifs, was accumulated in the lumen of the ERGIC if cells were kept at reduced temperature. Upon activation of anterograde transport by rewarming of cells, lumenal GFP stained a microtubule-dependent, pre-Golgi tubulo-vesicular network that served as transport structure between peripheral ERGIC-elements and the perinuclear Golgi complex. Individual examples of these tubular elements up to 20 microm in length were observed. Time lapse imaging indicated rapid anterograde flow of soluble lumenal GFP through this network. Transport tubules, stained by lumenal GFP, segregated rapidly from COPI-positive membranes after transport activation. A transmembrane cargo marker, the temperature sensitive glycoprotein of the vesicular stomatitis virus, ts-045 G, is also not present in tubules which contained the soluble cargo marker lum-GFP. These results suggest a role for pre-Golgi vesicular tubular membranes in long distance anterograde transport of soluble cargo. http://www.biologists.com/JCS/movies/jcs1334.html

Abstract
The formation of small vesicles is mediated by cytoplasmic coats the assembly of which is regulated by the activity of GTPases, kinases, and phosphatases. A heterotetrameric AP-3 adaptor complex has been implicated in the formation of synaptic vesicles from PC12 endosomes (). When the small GTPase ARF1 is prevented from hydrolyzing GTP, we can reconstitute AP-3 recruitment to synaptic vesicle membranes in an assembly reaction that requires temperatures above 15 degrees C and the presence of ATP suggesting that an enzymatic step is involved in the coat assembly. We have now found an enzymatic reaction, the phosphorylation of the AP-3 adaptor complex, that is linked with synaptic vesicle coating. Phosphorylation occurs in the beta3 subunit of the complex by a kinase similar to casein kinase 1alpha. The kinase copurifies with neuronal-specific AP-3. In vitro, purified casein kinase I selectively phosphorylates the beta3A and beta3B subunit at its hinge domain. Inhibiting the kinase hinders the recruitment of AP-3 to synaptic vesicles. The same inhibitors that prevent coat assembly in vitro also inhibit the formation of synaptic vesicles in PC12 cells. The data suggest, therefore, that the mechanism of AP-3-mediated vesiculation from neuroendocrine endosomes requires the phosphorylation of the adaptor complex at a step during or after AP-3 recruitment to membranes.

Abstract
Protein transport in the secretory and endocytic pathways of eukaryotic cells is mediated by vesicular transport intermediates. Their formation is a tightly controlled multistep process in which coat components are recruited onto specific membranes, and cargo, as well as targeting molecules, become segregated into nascent vesicles. At the trans-Golgi network, two transport systems deliver cargo molecules to the endosomal system. They can be distinguished with regard to coat components that select cargo molecules. AP-1 assembly proteins mediate transport of MPRs and furin, whereas AP-3 adaptors mediate transport of lysosomal membrane glycoproteins to the endosomal/lysosomal system. The molecular basis for protein-specific sorting lies within sorting signals that are present in the cytoplasmic tails of cargo proteins and allow specific interactions with individual coat components. In order to maintain cellular homeostasis, some proteins are retrieved from endosomal compartments and transported back to the trans-Golgi network. Distinct points for protein retrieval exist within the endosomal system, retrieval occurring from either early or late endosomes. Whereas significant progress has been made in recent years in identifying anterograde and retrograde transport pathways, the molecular mechanisms underlying protein sorting and retrieval are only poorly defined. Recently, however, novel vesicle coats (e.g. AP-4) and proteins that might be involved in sorting (e.g. PACS-1 and TIP47) have been described, and the interactions between assembly proteins and sorting signals are becoming increasingly well defined.

Abstract
The COPII coat is required for vesicle budding from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and consists of two heterodimeric subcomplexes, Sec23p/Sec24p, Sec13p/Sec31p, and a small GTPase, Sar1p. We characterized a yeast mutant, anu1 (abnormal nuclear morphology) exhibiting proliferated ER as well as abnormal nuclear morphology at the restrictive temperature. Based on the finding that ANU1 is identical to SEC24, we confirmed a temperature-sensitive protein transport from the ER to the Golgi in anu1-1/sec24-20 cells. Overexpression of SFB2, a SEC24 homologue with 56% identity, partially suppressed not only the mutant phenotype of sec24-20 cells but also rescued the SEC24-disrupted cells. Moreover, the yeast two-hybrid assay revealed that Sfb2p, similarly to Sec24p, interacted with Sec23p. In SEC24-disrupted cells rescued by overexpression of SFB2, some cargo proteins were still retained in the ER, while most of the protein transport was restored. Together, these findings strongly suggest that Sfb2p functions as the component of COPII coats in place of Sec24p, and raise the possibility that each member of the SEC24 family of proteins participates directly and/or indirectly in cargo-recognition events with its own cargo specificity at forming ER-derived vesicles.

Abstract
The yeast coat protein II (COPII) is responsible for vesicle budding from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Mammalian functional homologues for all yeast COPII components, except for Sec31p, have been reported. We have cloned a mammalian cDNA whose product (Sec31A) is about 26% identical to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sec31p. Data base searches also revealed another partial sequence encoding a polypeptide (Sec31B) that is 40% identical to Sec31A. Northern analysis revealed that Sec31A transcripts are ubiquitously and abundantly expressed, while Sec31B transcripts are particularly enriched in the testis and thymus, but present in very low levels in other tissues. Sec31A is localized to vesicular structures that scatter throughout the cell but are concentrated at the perinuclear region. The structures marked by Sec31A contain Sec13, a component of COPII that is well characterized to mark the ER exit sites. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that Sec31A colocalizes with Sec13 in structures with extensive vesicular-tubular profiles. Antibodies raised against a C-terminal portion of Sec31A co-precipitate Sec13 and inhibit ER-Golgi transport of temperature-arrested vesicular stomatitis G protein in a semi-intact cell assay. Cytosol immunodepleted of Sec31A failed to support vesicular stomatitis G protein transport, which can be rescued by a high molecular weight fraction of the cytosol containing both Sec31A and Sec13. We conclude that Sec31A represents a functional mammalian homologue of yeast Sec31p.

Abstract
We have established systems that reconstitute the biogenesis of coated transport vesicles with liposomes made of pure lipids and purified coat proteins. Optimization of the lipid composition in the liposomes allowed the efficient binding of both coat protein I and coat protein II (COPII) coat subunits. Coated vesicles of approximately the size generated from biomembranes were detected and characterized by centrifugation analysis and electron microscopy. A variation of this budding reaction allowed us to measure the sorting of v-SNARE proteins into synthetic COPII vesicles. We developed a novel system to tether glutathione S-transferase (GST)-hybrid proteins to the surface of liposomes formulated with a glutathione-derivatized phospholipid. This system allowed us to detect the positive role of cytoplasmic domains of two v-SNARE proteins that are packaged into COPII vesicles. Therefore, both generation of coated vesicles and protein sorting into the vesicles can be reproduced with liposomes and purified proteins.

Abstract
To analyze the role of coat protein type II (COPII) coat components and targeting and fusion factors in selective export from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transport to the Golgi, we have developed three novel, stage-specific assays. Cargo selection can be measured using a "stage 1 cargo capture assay," in which ER microsomes are incubated in the presence of glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged Sar1 GTPase and purified Sec23/24 components to follow recruitment of biosynthetic cargo to prebudding complexes. This cargo recruitment assay can be followed by two sequential assays that measure separately the budding of COPII-coated vesicles from ER microsomes (stage 2) and, finally, delivery of cargo-containing vesicles to the Golgi (stage 3). We show how these assays provide a means to identify the snap receptor (SNARE) protein rBet1 as an essential component that is not required for vesicle formation, but is required for vesicle targeting and fusion during ER-to-Golgi transport. In general, these assays provide an approach to characterize the biochemical basis for the recruitment of a wide variety of biosynthetic cargo proteins to COPII vesicles and the role of different transport components in the early secretory pathway of mammalian cells.

Abstract
Microinjection of the slowly hydrolyzable GTP analogue GTP(gamma)S or the ectopic expression of a GTP restricted mutant of the small GTPase arf1 (arf1[Q71L]) leads to the rapid accumulation of COPI coated vesicles and buds in living cells. This effect is blocked at 15 degrees C and by microinjection of antibodies against (beta)-COP. Anterograde and retrograde membrane protein transport markers, which have been previously shown to be incorporated into COPI vesicles between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex, are depleted from the GTP(gamma)S or arf1[Q71L] induced COPI coated vesicles and buds. In contrast, in control cells 30 to 60% of the COPI carriers co-localize with these markers. These in vivo data corroborate recent in vitro work, suggesting that GTP(gamma)S and arf1[Q71L] interfere with the sorting of membrane proteins into Golgi derived COPI vesicles, and provide the first in vivo evidence for a role of GTP hydrolysis by arf1 in the sorting of cargo into COPI coated vesicles and buds.

Abstract
This review focuses on the roles of coat proteins in regulating the membrane traffic of eukaryotic cells. Coat proteins are recruited to the donor organelle membrane from a cytosolic pool by specific small GTP-binding proteins and are required for the budding of coated vesicles. This review first describes the four types of coat complexes that have been characterized so far: clathrin and its adaptors, the adaptor-related AP-3 complex, COPI, and COPII. It then discusses the ascribed functions of coat proteins in vesicular transport, including the physical deformation of the membrane into a bud, the selection of cargo, and the targeting of the budded vesicle. It also mentions how the coat proteins may function in an alternative model for transport, namely via tubular connections, and how traffic is regulated. Finally, this review outlines the evidence that related coat proteins may regulate other steps of membrane traffic.

Abstract
The SHR3 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes an integral membrane component of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with four membrane-spanning segments and a hydrophilic, cytoplasmically oriented carboxyl-terminal domain. Mutations in SHR3 specifically impede the transport of all 18 members of the amino acid permease (aap) gene family away from the ER. Shr3p does not itself exit the ER. Aaps fully integrate into the ER membrane and fold properly independently of Shr3p. Shr3p physically associates with the general aap Gap1p but not Sec61p, Gal2p, or Pma1p in a complex that can be purified from N-dodecylmaltoside-solubilized membranes. Pulse-chase experiments indicate that the Shr3p-Gap1p association is transient, a reflection of the exit of Gap1p from the ER. The ER-derived vesicle COPII coatomer components Sec13p, Sec23p, Sec24p, and Sec31p but not Sar1p bind Shr3p via interactions with its carboxyl-terminal domain. The mutant shr3-23p, a nonfunctional membrane-associated protein, is unable to associate with aaps but retains the capacity to bind COPII components. The overexpression of either Shr3p or shr3-23p partially suppresses the temperature-sensitive sec12-1 allele. These results are consistent with a model in which Shr3p acts as a packaging chaperone that initiates ER-derived transport vesicle formation in the proximity of aaps by facilitating the membrane association and assembly of COPII coatomer components.

Abstract
The generation of transport vesicles at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) depends on cytosolic proteins, which, in the form of subcomplexes (Sec23p/Sec24p; Sec13p/Sec31p) are recruited to the ER membrane by GTP-bound Sar1p and form the coat protein complex II (COPII). Using affinity chromatography and two-hybrid analyses, we found that the essential COPII component Sec24p, but not Sec23p, binds to the cis-Golgi syntaxin Sed5p. Sec24p/Sed5p interaction in vitro was not dependent on the presence of [Sar1p.GTP]. The binding of Sec24p to Sed5p is specific; none of the other seven yeast syntaxins bound to this COPII component. Whereas the interaction site of Sec23p is within the N-terminal half of the 926-aa-long Sec24p (amino acid residues 56-549), Sed5p binds to the N- and C-terminal halves of the protein. Destruction by mutagenesis of a potential zinc finger within the N-terminal half of Sec24p led to a nonfunctional protein that was still able to bind Sec23p and Sed5p. Sec24p/Sed5p binding might be relevant for cargo selection during transport-vesicle formation and/or for vesicle targeting to the cis-Golgi.

Abstract
COPI-coated vesicle budding from lipid bilayers whose composition resembles mammalian Golgi membranes requires coatomer, ARF, GTP, and cytoplasmic tails of putative cargo receptors (p24 family proteins) or membrane cargo proteins (containing the KKXX retrieval signal) emanating from the bilayer surface. Liposome-derived COPI-coated vesicles are similar to their native counterparts with respect to diameter, buoyant density, morphology, and the requirement for an elevated temperature for budding. These results suggest that a bivalent interaction of coatomer with membrane-bound ARF[GTP] and with the cytoplasmic tails of cargo or putative cargo receptors is the molecular basis of COPI coat assembly and provide a simple mechanism to couple uptake of cargo to transport vesicle formation.
