Abstract
Posttranslational modifications of seven transmembrane receptors (7TMRs) affect their function to a large extent. Many studies of glycosylation or phosphorylation of 7TMRs have shown that these modifications influence the cell-surface expression or signaling of the receptor. Recently, other types of posttranslational modifications of the thyrotropin-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) have been characterized, including sialylation and dimerization. Increased TSHR sialylation results in increased TSHR cell-surface expression. Furthermore, TSHR oligomerization and the probable modification of TSHR signaling in lipid rafts require further clarification with regard to their functional consequences. In addition to its known coupling to Galphas and Galphaq, and possibly other G proteins, the TSHR also couples to further signaling pathways, such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, which involves G-protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) and arrestins. We discuss these emerging new findings and their implications for signaling of the TSHR.

Abstract
Recycling of G protein-coupled receptors determines the functional resensitization of receptors and is implicated in switching beta2 adrenoceptor (beta2AR) G protein specificity in cardiomyocytes. The human beta2AR carboxyl end binds to the N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF), an ATPase integral to membrane trafficking machinery. It is interesting that the human beta2AR (hbeta2AR) carboxyl end pulled down NSF from mouse heart lysates, whereas the murine one did not. Despite this difference, both beta2ARs exhibited substantial agonist-induced internalization, recycling, and Gi coupling in cardiomyocytes. The hbeta2AR, however, displayed faster rates of agonist-induced internalization and recycling compared with the murine beta2AR (mbeta2AR) and a more profound Gi component in its contraction response. Replacing the mbeta2AR proline (-1) with a leucine generated a gain-of-function mutation, mbeta2AR-P417L, with a rescued ability to bind NSF, faster internalization and recycling than the mbeta2AR, and a significant enhancement in Gi signaling, which mimics the hbeta2AR. Selective disruption of the mbeta2AR-P417L binding to NSF inhibited the receptor coupling to Gi. Mean-while, inhibiting NSF with N-ethylmaleimide blocked the mbeta2AR recycling after agonist-induced endocytosis. Expressing the NSF-E329Q mutant lacking ATPase activity inhibited the mbeta2AR coupling to Gi in cardiomyocytes. Our results revealed a dual regulation on hbeta2AR trafficking and signaling by NSF through direct binding to cargo receptor and its ATPase activity and uncovered an unprecedented role for the receptor binding to NSF in regulating G protein specificity that has diverged between mouse and human beta2ARs.

Abstract
To ensure that extracellular stimuli are translated into intracellular signals of appropriate magnitude and specificity, most signaling cascades are tightly regulated. One of the major mechanisms involved in the regulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) involves their endocytic trafficking. GPCR endocytic trafficking entails the targeting of receptors to discrete endocytic sites at the plasma membrane, followed by receptor internalization and intracellular sorting. This regulates the level of cell surface receptors, the sorting of receptors to degradative or recycling pathways, and in some cases the specific signaling pathways. In this chapter we discuss the mechanisms that regulate receptor endocytic trafficking, emphasizing the role of GPCR kinases (GRKs) and arrestins in this process.

Abstract
N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor (NSF) is an ATPases associated with various cellular activities protein (AAA), broadly required for intracellular membrane fusion. NSF functions as a SNAP receptor (SNARE) chaperone which binds, through soluble NSF attachment proteins (SNAPs), to SNARE complexes and utilizes the energy of ATP hydrolysis to disassemble them thus facilitating SNARE recycling. While this is a major function of NSF, it does seem to interact with other proteins, such as the AMPA receptor subunit, GluR2, and beta2-AR and is thought to affect their trafficking patterns. New data suggest that NSF may be regulated by transient post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and nitrosylation. These new aspects of NSF function as well as its role in SNARE complex dynamics will be discussed.

Abstract
N-ethylmaleimide sensitive fusion protein (NSF) is a chaperone that plays a crucial role in the fusion of vesicles with target membranes. NSF mediates the ATP-consuming dissociation of a core protein complex that assembles during vesicle fusion and it thereby recharges the fusion machinery to perform multiple rounds of fusion. The binding of NSF to the core complex is mediated by co-chaperones named soluble NSF attachment proteins (SNAPs), for which three isoforms (alpha, beta and gamma) are known. Here, we sought to identify novel targets of the NSF-SNAP complex. A yeast two-hybrid screen using the brain specific betaSNAP isoform as bait revealed, as expected, NSF and several isoforms of the SNARE protein syntaxin as interactors. In addition, three isoforms of the reticulon protein family and two isoforms of BNIP3 interacted with betaSNAP. A yeast two-hybrid screen using NSF as bait identified Rab11-FIP3 and the Pak-binding nucleotide exchange factor betaPIX as putative binding partners. betaPIX interacts with recombinant NSF in co-sedimentation assays and the two proteins may be co-immunoprecipitated. A leucine zipper (LZ) motif within the C-terminus of betaPIX mediates binding to NSF; however, this fragment of betaPIX does not exhibit dominant negative effects in a cellular assay. In summary, our results support the evolving view that NSF has numerous targets in addition to conventional SNARE complexes.

Abstract
Plasma membrane recycling of G protein-coupled receptors can occur by at least two distinct mechanisms as follows: a "default" mechanism that occurs nonselectively, and a specifically sorted mechanism that requires the endosome-associated protein Hrs. In this study we have defined a sequence in the beta2-adrenergic receptor cytoplasmic tail that confers Hrs dependence on receptor recycling. This sequence resembles acidic dileucine class motifs found in other membrane proteins but is structurally and functionally distinct from previously identified sorting sequences. Mutation of the novel sorting sequence rendered plasma membrane recycling independent of Hrs and independent of a distal PDZ ligand required for Hrs-dependent recycling. We propose that the novel sorting sequence functions to "switch" endocytic trafficking between mechanistically distinct recycling modes, thereby explaining failure of the wild type beta2-adrenergic receptor to recycle efficiently by default.

Abstract
The discovery of receptor-activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs) as accessory proteins required for the appropriate localization and function of certain G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) produced a paradigm shift in our understanding of GPCR regulation. Three RAMPs have now been demonstrated to be crucial for various aspects of the life cycle of calcitonin-like receptor (CLR) including endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi translocation, internalization and recycling. Although the RAMP-CLR interaction was the first to be identified, other GPCRs belonging to both the class B and C families of GPCRs also seem to be regulated by RAMPs. The recent advances in our knowledge of the cellular and biochemical regulation of RAMPs and how they in turn regulate the life cycle of GPCRs could lead to therapeutic advances in several diseases.

Abstract
The fusion of the Caenorhabditis elegans uterine anchor cell (AC) with the uterine-seam cell (utse) is an excellent model system for studying cell-cell fusion, which is essential to animal development. We obtained an egg-laying defective (Egl) mutant in which the AC fails to fuse with the utse. This defect is highly specific: other aspects of utse development and other cell fusions appear to occur normally. We find that defect is due to a missense mutation in the nsf-1 gene, which encodes N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF), an intracellular membrane fusion factor. There are two NSF-1 isoforms, which are expressed in distinct tissues through two separate promoters. NSF-1L is expressed in the uterus, including the AC. We find that nsf-1 is required cell-autonomously in the AC for its fusion with the utse. Our results establish AC fusion as a paradigm for studying cell fusion at single cell resolution and demonstrate that the NSF ATPase is a key player in this process.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an integral role in the signal transduction of an enormous array of biological phenomena, thereby serving to modulate at a molecular level almost all components of human biology. This role is nowhere more evident than in cardiovascular biology, where GPCRs regulate such core measures of cardiovascular function as heart rate, contractility, and vascular tone. GPCR/ligand interaction initiates signal transduction cascades, and requires the presence of the receptor at the plasma membrane. Plasma membrane localization is in turn a function of the delivery of a receptor to and removal from the cell surface, a concept defined most broadly as receptor trafficking. This review illuminates our current view of GPCR trafficking, particularly within the cardiovascular system, as well as highlights the recent and provocative finding that components of the GPCR trafficking machinery can facilitate GPCR signaling independent of G protein activation.

Abstract
Fluorescent cell division cycle (CDC)48 proteins were studied in living plant protoplasts. CDC48A and somatic embryogenesis receptor like kinase 1 (SERK1) were found to co-localize in the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) and at the plasma membrane (PM), but not in endosomal compartments. Fluorescent lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) was used to detect Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between CrFP/YFP-tagged CDC48A and SERK1. FRET is indicative of direct protein-protein interaction. CDC48A was found to interact only with SERK1 in small areas at the PM, but not in endosomes. These findings confirm and extend our previous findings that CDC48A in plants directly interacts with SERK1.

Abstract
N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor (NSF) can dissociate the soluble NSF attachment receptor (SNARE) complex, but NSF also participates in other intracellular trafficking functions by virtue of SNARE-independent activity. Drosophila that express a neural transgene encoding a dominant-negative form of NSF2 show an 80% reduction in the size of releasable synaptic vesicle pool, but no change in the number of vesicles in nerve terminal boutons. Here we tested the hypothesis that vesicles in the NSF2 mutant terminal are less mobile. Using a combination of genetics, pharmacology, and imaging we find a substantial reduction in vesicle mobility within the nerve terminal boutons of Drosophila NSF2 mutant larvae. Subsequent analysis revealed a decrease of filamentous actin in both NSF2 dominant-negative and loss-of-function mutants. Lastly, actin-filament disrupting drugs also decrease vesicle movement. We conclude that a factor contributing to the NSF mutant phenotype is a reduction in vesicle mobility, which is associated with decreased presynaptic F-actin. Our data are consistent with a model in which actin filaments promote vesicle mobility and suggest that NSF participates in establishing or maintaining this population of actin.

Abstract
Upon activation, many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) internalize by clathrin-mediated endocytosis and are subsequently sorted to undergo recycling or lysosomal degradation. Here we observe that sorting can take place much earlier than previously thought, by entry of different GPCRs into distinct populations of clathrin-coated pit (CCP). These distinct populations were revealed by analysis of two purinergic GPCRs, P2Y(1) and P2Y(12), which enter two populations of CCPs in a mutually exclusive manner. The mechanisms underlying early GPCR sorting involve differential kinase-dependent processes because internalization of P2Y(12) is mediated by GPCR kinases (GRKs) and arrestin, whereas P2Y(1) internalization is GRK- and arrestin-independent but requires protein kinase C. Importantly, the beta(2) adrenoceptor which also internalizes in a GRK-dependent manner also traffics exclusively to P2Y(12)-containing CCPs. Our data therefore reveal distinct populations of CCPs that sort GPCR cargo at the plasma membrane using different kinase-dependent mechanisms.

Abstract
In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the elongation 1A (eEF1A) family regulates the cell surface density of the M4 subtype of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) following agonist-induced internalization. Here, we show that mouse brains lacking eEF1A2 have no detectable changes in M4 expression or localization. We, however, did discover that eEF1A1, the other eEF1A isoform, is expressed in adult neurons contrary to previous reports. This novel finding suggested that the lack of change in M4 expression and distribution in brains lacking eEF1A2 might be due to compensatory effects of eEF1A1. Supporting this theory, we demonstrate that the overexpression of either eEF1A1 or eEF1A2 inhibits M4 recovery to the cell surface after agonist-induced internalization in PC12 cells. Furthermore, eEF1A1 or eEF1A2 had no effect on the recovery of the M1 subtype in PC12 cells. These results demonstrate the novel ability of the eEF1A family to specifically regulate the M4 mAChR.

Abstract
The obligatory heterodimerization of the GABAB receptor (GBR) raises fundamental questions about molecular mechanisms controlling its signaling efficacy. Here, we show that NEM sensitive fusion (NSF) protein interacts directly with the GBR heterodimer both in rat brain synaptosomes and in CHO cells, forming a ternary complex that can be regulated by agonist stimulation. Inhibition of NSF binding with a peptide derived from GBR2 (TAT-Pep-27) did not affect basal signaling activity but almost completely abolished agonist-promoted GBR desensitization in both CHO cells and hippocampal slices. Taken with the role of PKC in the desensitization process, our observation that TAT-Pep-27 prevented both agonist-promoted recruitment of PKC and receptor phosphorylation suggests that NSF is a priming factor required for GBR desensitization. Given that GBR desensitization does not involve receptor internalization, the NSF/PKC coordinated action revealed herein suggests that NSF can regulate GPCR signalling efficacy independently of its role in membrane trafficking. The functional interaction between three bona fide regulators of neurotransmitter release, such as GBR, NSF and PKC, could shed new light on the modulation of presynaptic GBR action.

Abstract
We identified a truncated form (38-117) of GEC1 that interacts with the C-tail of the human kappa opioid receptor (hKOR) by yeast two-hybrid screening. GEC1-(38-117) did not interact with the C-tail of the mu or delta opioid receptors. GEC1, a 117-amino acid protein (Pellerin, I., Vuillermoz, C., Jouvenot, M., Ordener, C., Royez, M., and Adessi, G. L. (1993) Mol. Cell Endocrinol. 90, R17-R21), is highly homologous to GABARAP, GATE-16, and Apg8/aut7, all members of the microtubule associated protein (MAP) family. In pull-down assays, GST-GEC1 interacted directly with the hKOR C-tail, full-length hKOR, and tubulin. When expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, GEC1 co-immunoprecipitated with FLAG-hKOR. Expression of GEC1 greatly increased total and cell-surface KOR but not mu or delta opioid receptors. GEC1 expression slightly reduced U50,488H-promoted down-regulation, without affecting ligand binding affinity, receptor-G protein coupling, or U50,488H-induced desensitization and internalization. HA-GEC1 expressed in CHO cells was localized in the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). When cells were pulsed with [35S]Met/Cys, GEC1 expression enhanced the level of the mature form (55-kDa band) of FLAG-hKOR at 4, 8, and 22 h after pulse without affecting the precursors (39- and 45-kDa bands), indicating that GEC1 facilitates trafficking of FLAG-hKOR from the ER/Golgi to plasma membranes. GEC1 interacted with N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) in pull-down assays and co-immunoprecipitated with NSF in rat brain extracts. The interaction with NSF may contribute to GEC1 effects. This is the first report on biological functions of GEC1 and the first demonstration that a GPCR interacts with a protein of the MAP family. The interaction is important for trafficking of the receptor in the biosynthesis pathway.

Abstract
The 4 mammalian arrestins serve as almost universal regulators of the largest known family of signaling proteins, G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Arrestins terminate receptor interactions with G proteins, redirect the signaling to a variety of alternative pathways, and orchestrate receptor internalization and subsequent intracellular trafficking. The elucidation of the structural basis and fine molecular mechanisms of the arrestin-receptor interaction paved the way to the targeted manipulation of this interaction from both sides to produce very stable or extremely transient complexes that helped to understand the regulation of many biologically important processes initiated by active GPCRs. The elucidation of the structural basis of arrestin interactions with numerous non-receptor-binding partners is long overdue. It will allow the construction of fully functional arrestins in which the ability to interact with individual partners is specifically disrupted or enhanced by targeted mutagenesis. These "custom-designed" arrestin mutants will be valuable tools in defining the role of various interactions in the intricate interplay of multiple signaling pathways in the living cell. The identification of arrestin-binding sites for various signaling molecules will also set the stage for designing molecular tools for therapeutic intervention that may prove useful in numerous disorders associated with congenital or acquired disregulation of GPCR signaling.

Abstract
In the present study, we examined the role of soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE)-mediated membrane traffic in the formation of focal adhesions during cell spreading. CHO-K1 cells expressing a dominant-negative form of N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (E329Q-NSF) were unable to spread as well as control cells and they formed focal adhesions (FAs) that were larger than those in control cells. FA formation was impaired in cells transfected with a dominant-negative form of RhoA, but, significantly, not in cells simultaneously expressing dominant-negative NSF. Treatment of E329Q-NSF-expressing cells with the ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 did inhibit FA formation. The results are consistent with a model of cell adhesion in which SNARE-mediated membrane traffic is required for both the elaboration of lamellipodia and the modulation of biochemical signals that control RhoA-mediated FA assembly.

Abstract
Endocytic trafficking of signaling receptors to alternate intracellular pathways has been shown to lead to diverse biological consequences. In this study, we report that two neurotrophin receptors (tropomyosin-related kinase TrkA and TrkB) traverse divergent endocytic pathways after binding to their respective ligands (nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor). We provide evidence that TrkA receptors in neurosecretory cells and neurons predominantly recycle back to the cell surface in a ligand-dependent manner. We have identified a specific sequence in the TrkA juxtamembrane region, which is distinct from that in TrkB receptors, and is both necessary and sufficient for rapid recycling of internalized receptors. Conversely, TrkB receptors are predominantly sorted to the degradative pathway. Transplantation of the TrkA recycling sequence into TrkB receptors reroutes the TrkB receptor to the recycling pathway. Finally, we link these divergent trafficking pathways to alternate biological responses. On prolonged neurotrophin treatment, TrkA receptors produce prolonged activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signaling as well as survival responses, compared with TrkB receptors. These results indicate that TrkA receptors, which predominantly recycle in signal-dependent manner, have unique biological properties dictated by its specific endocytic trafficking itinerary.

Abstract
GABA(A) receptors mediate most of the fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain, and are believed to be composed mainly of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. It has been shown that GABA(A) receptors interact with a number of binding partners that act to regulate both receptor function and cell surface stability. Here, we reveal that GABA(A) receptors interact directly with N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF), a critical regulator of vesicular dependent protein trafficking, as measured by in vitro protein binding and co-immunoprecipitation assays. In addition, we established that NSF interacts with residues 395-415 of the receptor beta subunits and co-localizes with GABA(A) receptors in hippocampal neurons. We also established that NSF can regulate GABA(A) receptor cell surface expression depending upon residues 395-415 in the beta3 subunit. Together, our results suggest an important role for NSF activity in regulating the cell surface stability of GABA(A) receptors.

Abstract
First identified as the cytosolic component that restored intra-Golgi vesicle trafficking following N-ethylmaleimide poisoning, N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) was later shown to be an ATPase that participates in many vesicular trafficking events. Current models hold that NSF disassembles postfusion SNARE protein complexes, allowing them to participate in further rounds of vesicle cycling. To further understand the role of NSF in neural function, we have embarked on genetic studies of Drosophila NSF2. In one approach, we employed transgenic flies that carry a dominant-negative form of NSF2 (NSF(E/Q)). When expressed in neurons this construct suppresses synaptic transmission, increases activity-dependent fatigue of transmitter release, and reduces the functional size of the pool of vesicles available for release. Unexpectedly, it also induced pronounced overgrowth of the neuromuscular junction. The aim of the present study was twofold. First, we sought to determine if the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) overgrowth phenotype is present throughout development. Second, we examined NSF2(E/Q) larval synapses by serial section electron microscopy in order to determine if there are ultrastructural correlates to the observed physiological and morphological phenotypes. We indeed found that the NMJ overgrowth phenotype is present at the embryonic neuromuscular synapse. Likewise, at the ultrastructural level, we found considerable alterations in the number and distribution of synapses and active zones, whereas the number of vesicles present was not changed. From these data we conclude that a primary phenotype of the NSF2(E/Q) transgene is a developmental one and that alteration in the number and distribution of active zones contributes to the NSF2(E/Q) physiological phenotype.

Abstract
Hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (Hrs) is well known to terminate cell signaling by sorting activated receptors to the MVB/lysosomal pathway. Here we identify a distinct role of Hrs in promoting rapid recycling of endocytosed signaling receptors to the plasma membrane. This function of Hrs is specific for receptors that recycle in a sequence-directed manner, in contrast to default recycling by bulk membrane flow, and is distinguishable in several ways from previously identified membrane-trafficking functions of Hrs/Vps27p. In particular, Hrs function in sequence-directed recycling does not require other mammalian Class E gene products involved in MVB/lysosomal sorting, nor is receptor ubiquitination required. Mutational studies suggest that the VHS domain of Hrs plays an important role in sequence-directed recycling. Disrupting Hrs-dependent recycling prevented functional resensitization of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor, converting the temporal profile of cell signaling by this prototypic G protein-coupled receptor from sustained to transient. These studies identify a novel function of Hrs in a cargo-specific recycling mechanism, which is critical to controlling functional activity of the largest known family of signaling receptors.

Abstract
Receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs 1-3) are single transmembrane accessory proteins critical to various G-protein coupled receptors for plasma membrane expression and receptor phenotype. A functional receptor for the vasodilatory ligand, adrenomedullin (AM), is comprised of RAMP2 or RAMP3 and calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR). It is now known that RAMP3 protein-protein interactions regulate the recycling of the AM2 receptor. The major aim of this study was to identify other interaction partners of RAMP3 and determine their role in CRLR-RAMP3 trafficking. Trafficking of G-protein-coupled receptors has been shown to be regulated by the Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF-1), an adaptor protein containing two tandem PSD-95/Discs-large/ZO-1 homology (PDZ) domains. In HEK 293T cells expressing the AM2 receptor, the complex undergoes agonist-induced desensitization and internalization. However, in the presence of NHERF-1, although the AM receptor (CRLR/RAMP3) undergoes desensitization, the internalization of the receptor complex is blocked. Overlay assays and mutational analysis indicated that RAMP3 and NHERF-1 interact via a PDZ type I domain on NHERF-1. The internalization of the CRLR-RAMP complex was not affected by NHERF-1 when CRLR was co-expressed with RAMP1 or RAMP2. Mutation of the ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) domain on NHERF-1 indicated that NHERF-1 inhibits CRLR/RAMP3 complex internalization by tethering the complex to the actin cytoskeleton. When examined in a primary culture of human proximal tubule cells endogenously expressing the CRLR-RAMP3 complex and NHERF-1, the CRLR-RAMP complex desensitizes but is unable to internalize upon agonist stimulation. Knock-down of either RAMP3 or NHERF-1 by RNA interference technology enabled agonist-induced internalization of the CRLR-RAMP complex. These results, using both endogenous and overexpressed cellular models, indicate a novel function for NHERF-1 and RAMP3 in the internalization of the AM receptor and suggest additional regulatory mechanisms for receptor trafficking.

Abstract
The Drosophila larval neuromuscular system serves as a valuable model for studying the genes required for synaptic development and function. N-Ethylmaleimide sensitive factor (NSF) is a molecule known to be important in vesicular trafficking but neural expression of a dominant negative form of NSF2 induces an unexpected overgrowth of the Drosophila larval neuromuscular synapse. We have taken a genetic approach to understanding this novel phenotype by conducting a gain-of-function modifier screen to isolate genes that interact with the overgrowth phenotype. Our approach was to directly visualize the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) using a GFP transgene and screen for suppressors of NMJ overgrowth using the Gene Search collection of P-element insertions. Of the 3000 lines screened, we identified 99 lines that can partially restore the normal phenotype. Analysis of the GS element insertion sites by inverse PCR and comparison of the flanking DNA sequence to the Drosophila genome sequence revealed nearby genes for all but 10 of the 99 lines. The recovered genes, both known and predicted, include transcription factors, cytoskeletal elements, components of the ubiquitin pathway, and several signaling molecules. This collection of genes that suppress the NSF2 neuromuscular junction overgrowth phenotype is a valuable resource in our efforts to further understand the role of NSF at the synapse.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors are regulated by ligand stimulation, endocytosis, degradation of recycling to the cell surface. Little information is available on the molecular mechanisms underlying G protein-coupled receptors recycling. We have investigated recycling of the G protein-coupled thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) and found that it relies on hScrib, a membrane-associated PDZ protein. hScrib directly binds to TSHR, inhibits basal receptor endocytosis and promotes recycling, and thus TSHR signalling, at the cell membrane. We previously demonstrated that hScrib is associated with a betaPIX-GIT1 complex comprised of a guanine nucleotide exchange factor and a GTPase-activating protein for ADP ribosylation factors that is involved in vesicle trafficking. We used dominant-negative constructs and small interfering RNA to show that TSHR recycling is regulated by the interaction between hScrib and betaPIX, and by the activity of GIT1. In addition, ARF6, a major target for GIT1, is activated during TSH stimulation of HEK293 and FRTL-5 thyroid cells, and plays a key role in TSHR recycling. Thus, we have uncovered an hScrib-betaPIX-GIT1-ARF6 pathway devoted to TSHR trafficking and function.

Abstract
RAMPs (1-3) are single transmembrane accessory proteins crucial for plasma membrane expression, which also determine receptor phenotype of various G-protein-coupled receptors. For example, adrenomedullin receptors are comprised of RAMP2 or RAMP3 (AM1R and AM2R, respectively) and calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR), while a CRLR heterodimer with RAMP1 yields a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor. The major aim of this study was to determine the role of RAMPs in receptor trafficking. We hypothesized that a PDZ type I domain present in the C terminus of RAMP3, but not in RAMP1 or RAMP2, leads to protein-protein interactions that determine receptor trafficking. Employing adenylate cyclase assays, radioligand binding, and immunofluorescence microscopy, we observed that in HEK293 cells the CRLR-RAMP complex undergoes agonist-stimulated desensitization and internalization and fails to resensitize (i.e. degradation of the receptor complex). Co-expression of N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) with the CRLR-RAMP3 complex, but not CRLR-RAMP1 or CRLR-RAMP2 complex, altered receptor trafficking to a recycling pathway. Mutational analysis of RAMP3, by deletion and point mutations, indicated that the PDZ motif of RAMP3 interacts with NSF to cause the change in trafficking. The role of RAMP3 and NSF in AM2R recycling was confirmed in rat mesangial cells, where RNA interference with RAMP3 and pharmacological inhibition of NSF both resulted in a lack of receptor resensitization/recycling after agonist-stimulated desensitization. These findings provide the first functional difference between the AM1R and AM2R at the level of post-endocytic receptor trafficking. These results indicate a novel function for RAMP3 in the post-endocytic sorting of the AM-R and suggest a broader regulatory role for RAMPs in receptor trafficking.

Abstract
The three subtypes of beta-adrenergic receptor (beta AR) all interact with G proteins as a central aspect of their signaling. The various beta AR subtypes also associate differentially with a variety of other cytoplasmic and transmembrane proteins. These beta AR-interacting proteins play distinct roles in the regulation of receptor signaling and trafficking. The specificity of beta AR associations with various binding partners can help to explain key physiological differences between beta AR subtypes. Moreover, the differential tissue expression patterns of many of the beta AR-interacting proteins may contribute to tissue-specific regulation of beta AR function.

Abstract
Two chemoattractant receptors, C5aR (the complement fragment C5a receptor) and FPR (the N-formyl peptide receptor), are involved in neutrophil activation at sites of inflammation. In this study, we found major differences in the intracellular trafficking of the receptors in transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Western blot analysis showed that FPR was stable during a 3 h stimulation with ligand, but C5aR was reduced in quantity by 50%. Not all C5aR was targeted directly for degradation however; a small, but visible fraction of the receptor became re-phosphorylated upon subsequent addition of ligand, suggesting that some of the receptor had cycled to the cell surface. Light membrane fractions isolated from activated cells showed C5aR distribution at the bottom of a glycerol gradient, colocalizing with the main distribution of the late endosomal/lysosomal marker LAMP2, whereas FPR was found at the bottom of the gradient as well as in the middle of the gradient, where it cofractionated with the early/sorting endosomal marker Rab5. Using fluorescence microscopy, we observed ligand-dependent redistribution of C5aR-EGFP from the plasma membrane to LAMP2-positive compartments, whereas FPR-EGFP showed significant colocalization with the early/sorting endosomes. Analysis of endogenous C5aR and FPR in neutrophils revealed a pattern similar to the CHO transfectants: C5aR underwent degradation after prolonged ligand stimulation, while FPR did not. Finally, we confirmed the down-regulation of C5aR in a functional assay by showing reduced chemotaxis toward C5a in both CHO transfectants and neutrophils after preincubation with C5a. A similar decrease in FPR-mediated chemotaxis was not observed.

Abstract
Molecular sorting of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) between divergent recycling and lysosomal pathways determines the functional consequences of agonist-induced endocytosis. The carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the beta2 adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) mediates both PDZ binding to Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor/ezrin/radixin/moesin-binding phosphoprotein of 50 kDa (NHERF/EBP50) family proteins and non-PDZ binding to the N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF). We have investigated whether PDZ interaction(s) are actually sufficient to promote rapid recycling of endocytosed receptors and, if so, whether PDZ-mediated sorting is restricted to the beta2AR tail or to sequences that bind NHERF/EBP50. The trafficking effects of short (10 residue) sequences differing in PDZ and NSF binding properties were examined using chimeric mutant receptors. The recycling activity of the beta2AR-derived tail sequence was not blocked by a point mutation that selectively disrupts binding to NSF, and naturally occurring PDZ ligand sequences were identified that do not bind detectably to NSF yet function as strong recycling signals. The carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the beta1-adrenergic receptor, which does not bind either to NSF or NHERF/EBP50 and interacts selectively with a distinct group of PDZ proteins, promoted rapid recycling of chimeric mutant receptors with efficiency similarly high as that of the beta2AR tail. These results indicate that PDZ domain-mediated protein interactions are sufficient to promote rapid recycling of GPCRs, independent of binding to NSF. They also suggest that PDZ-directed recycling is a rather general mechanism of GPCR regulation, which is not restricted to a single GPCR, and may involve additional PDZ domain-containing protein(s) besides NHERF/EBP50.

Abstract
The acrosome is a membrane-limited granule that overlies the nucleus of the mature spermatozoon. In response to physiological or pharmacological stimuli it undergoes a special type of Ca2+-dependent exocytosis termed the acrosome reaction (AR), which is an absolute prerequisite for fertilization. Aided by a streptolysin-O permeabilization protocol developed in our laboratory, we have previously demonstrated requirements for Rab3A, N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF), several soluble NSF-attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins, and synaptotagmin VI in the human sperm AR. Here, we show that alpha-soluble NSF-attachment protein (alpha-SNAP), a protein essential for most fusion events through its interaction with NSF and the SNARE complex, exhibits a direct role in the AR. First, the presence of alpha-SNAP is demonstrated by the Western blot of human sperm protein extracts. Immunostaining experiments reveal an acrosomal localization for this protein. Second, the Ca2+ and Rab3A-triggered ARs are inhibited by anti-alpha-SNAP antibodies. Third, bacterially expressed alpha-SNAP abolishes exocytosis in a fashion that depends on its interaction with NSF. Fourth, we show a requirement for alpha-SNAP/NSF in a prefusion step early in the exocytotic pathway, after the tethering of the acrosome to the plasma membrane and before the efflux of intra-acrosomal Ca2+. These results suggest a key role for alpha-SNAP/NSF in the AR, and strengthen our understanding of the molecular players involved in the vesicle-to-plasma membrane fusion taking place during exocytosis.

Abstract
The beta-2 adrenergic receptor (B2AR) is well known to form oligomeric complexes in vivo, but the functional significance of this process is not fully understood. The present results identify an effect of oligomerization of the human B2AR on the membrane trafficking of receptors after agonist-induced endocytosis in stably transfected human embryonic kidney 293 cells. A sequence present in the cytoplasmic tail of the B2AR has been shown previously to be required for efficient recycling of internalized receptors. Mutation of this sequence was observed to inhibit recycling not only of the receptor containing the mutation but also of the coexpressed wild-type B2AR. Coexpression of recycling-defective mutant B2ARs also enhanced proteolytic degradation of the wild-type B2AR after agonist-induced endocytosis, consistent with trafficking of both receptors to lysosomes in an oligomeric complex. Coexpression of the delta opioid receptor (DOR) at similar levels produced a much smaller effect on endocytic trafficking of the B2AR, even though DOR traverses a similar membrane pathway as recycling-defective mutant B2ARs. Biochemical studies confirmed that B2AR/B2AR-ala homomeric complexes form more readily than DOR/B2AR heteromers in expression-matched cell clones and support the hypothesis that B2AR/B2AR-ala complexes are not disrupted by agonist. These results suggest that a significant fraction of B2ARs exists in oligomeric complexes after ligand-induced endocytosis and that the composition of the oligomeric complex influences the sorting of endocytosed receptors between functionally distinct recycling and degradative membrane pathways.

Abstract
Adaptor and scaffolding proteins determine the cellular targeting, the spatial, and thereby the functional association of G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane receptors with co-receptors, transducers, and downstream effectors and the adaptors determine post-signaling events such as receptor sequestration through interactions, mainly with the C-terminal intracellular tails of the receptors. A library of tails from 59 representative members of the super family of seven-transmembrane receptors was probed as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins for interactions with four different adaptor proteins previously proposed to be involved in post-endocytotic sorting of receptors. Of the two proteins suggested to target receptors for recycling to the cell membrane, which is the route believed to be taken by a majority of receptors, ERM (ezrin-radixin-moesin)-binding phosphoprotein 50 (EBP50) bound only a single receptor tail, i.e. the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor, whereas N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor bound 11 of the tail-fusion proteins. Of the two proteins proposed to target receptors for lysosomal degradation, sorting nexin 1 (SNX1) bound 10 and the C-terminal domain of G protein-coupled receptor-associated sorting protein bound 23 of the 59 tail proteins. Surface plasmon resonance analysis of the binding kinetics of selected hits from the glutathione S-transferase pull-down experiments, i.e. the tails of the virally encoded receptor US28 and the delta-opioid receptor, confirmed the expected nanomolar affinities for interaction with SNX1. Truncations of the NK(1) receptor revealed that an extended binding epitope is responsible for the interaction with both SNX1 and G protein-coupled receptor-associated sorting protein as well as with N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor. It is concluded that the tail library provides useful information on the general importance of certain adaptor proteins, for example, in this case, ruling out EBP50 as being a broad spectrum-recycling adaptor.

Abstract
CXCL8 plays a major role in cell recruitment to sites of inflammation. Apart from neutrophils, little is known, however, about the cellular distribution and regulation of CXCL8 receptors in cells involved in acquired and adaptive immune responses. In previous studies, we have demonstrated the extracellular expression and function of CXCR1/2 on mast cells and also detected an intracellular pool of CXCR1/2. Here, we have addressed the question of receptor regulation during stimulation of human mast cells (HMC-1 cell line) and have studied T cells in comparison. Cell permeabilization was performed to detect both surface and possible intracellular receptor pools. HMC-1 cells stained positive for both receptors on the cell surface (CXCR1, 50%; CXCR2, 51%) and also after cell permeabilization (CXCR1, 86%; CXCR2, 74%). Similarly, T cells exhibited both cell-surface receptor expression (CXCR1, 30%; CXCR2, 23%) and higher total receptor expression (CXCR1, 50%; CXCR2, 36%), although overall values were lower than that in HMC-1 cells. On immunoblot, molecular weights of extra- and intracellular receptors on mast cells were the same, excluding altered receptor glycosylation. On stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate plus calcium ionophore, a time-dependent decrease of surface-membrane receptors was observed in both cell types, while total receptor remained the same, suggesting that receptor shedding is not involved. The kinetics of membrane receptor internalization and replenishment differed for the two cell types. Furthermore, receptor internalization was associated with decreased F-actin polymerization, a basic prerequisite for cell migration. These findings demonstrate for the first time the expression of extra- and intracellular CXCR1/2 receptors on T cells and delineate the dynamics of CXCR1/2 receptors on mast cells and T cells. Furthermore, they suggest a cell-type-specific and finely tuned regulation of chemokine responses at the receptor level in the context of inflammation.

Abstract
A critical event determining the functional consequences of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) endocytosis is the molecular sorting of internalized receptors between divergent recycling and degradative membrane pathways. The D1 dopamine receptor recycles rapidly and efficiently to the plasma membrane after agonist-induced endocytosis and is remarkably resistant to proteolytic down-regulation. Whereas the mechanism mediating agonist-induced endocytosis of D1 receptors has been investigated in some detail, little is known about how receptors are sorted after endocytosis. We have identified a sequence present in the carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the human D1 dopamine receptor that is specifically required for the efficient recycling of endocytosed receptors back to the plasma membrane. This sequence is distinct from previously identified membrane trafficking signals and is located in a proximal portion of the carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic domain, in contrast to previously identified GPCR recycling signals present at the distal tip. Nevertheless, fusion of this sequence to the carboxyl terminus of a chimeric mutant delta opioid neuropeptide receptor is sufficient to re-route internalized receptors from lysosomal to recycling membrane pathways, defining this sequence as a bona fide endocytic recycling signal that can function in both proximal and distal locations. These results identify a novel sorting signal controlling the endocytic trafficking itinerary of a physiologically important dopamine receptor, provide the first example of such a sorting signal functioning in a proximal portion of the carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic domain, and suggest the existence of a diverse array of sorting signals in the GPCR superfamily that mediate subtype-specific regulation of receptors via endocytic membrane trafficking.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) modulate diverse physiological and behavioral signaling pathways by virtue of changes in receptor activation and inactivation states. Functional changes in receptor properties include dynamic interactions with regulatory molecules and trafficking to various cellular compartments at various stages of the life cycle of a GPCR. This review focuses on trafficking of GPCRs to the cell surface, stabilization there, and agonist-regulated turnover. GPCR interactions with a variety of newly revealed partners also are reviewed with the intention of provoking further analysis of the relevance of these interactions in GPCR trafficking, signaling, or both. The disease consequences of mislocalization of GPCRs also are described.

Abstract
The hexameric ATPase, N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor (NSF), is essential to vesicular transport and membrane fusion because it affects the conformations and associations of the soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins. NSF binds SNAREs through adaptors called soluble NSF attachment proteins (alpha- or beta-SNAP) and disassembles SNARE complexes to recycle the monomers. NSF contains three domains, two nucleotide-binding domains (NSF-D1 and -D2) and an amino terminal domain (NSF-N) that is required for SNAP-SNARE complex binding. Mutagenesis studies indicate that a cleft between the two sub-domains of NSF-N is critical for binding. The structural conservation of N domains in NSF, p97/VCP, and VAT suggests that a similar type of binding site could mediate substrate recognition by other AAA proteins. In addition to SNAP-SNARE complexes, NSF also binds other proteins and protein complexes such as AMPA receptor subunits (GluR2), beta2-adrenergic receptor, beta-Arrestin1, GATE-16, LMA1, rabs, and rab-containing complexes. The potential for these interactions indicates a broader role for NSF in the assembly/disassembly cycles of several cellular complexes and suggests that NSF may have specific regulatory effects on the functions of the proteins involved in these complexes. The structural requirements for these interactions and their physiological significance will be discussed.

Abstract
1. We have investigated the role of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 5 (GRK5) in the regulation of endosome sorting of human beta(2)-adrenoceptors. 2. Expressing GRK5 at a high level significantly increased the extent of internalization of wild-type beta(2)-adrenoceptors and of an internalization-defective mutant receptor, and increased receptor phosphorylation at serines 355 and 356 in the cytoplasmic tail. 3. Overexpressing GRK5 did not alter beta(2)-adrenoceptor recycling as assessed by immunofluorescence microscopy and radioligand binding assays nor was there any change in receptor downregulation. 4. These data indicate that GRK5 does not regulate the sorting of beta(2)-adrenoceptors in the endocytic pathway.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying targeted sorting of endocytosed receptors for recycling to the plasma membrane or degradation in lysosomes are poorly understood. In this report, the C-terminal tails of the five dopamine receptors (D1-D5) were expressed as glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins and studied for their interaction with ezrin-radixin-moesin-binding phosphoprotein 50 (EBP50) and N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF), which are known to be involved in post-endocytic recycling of receptors back to the plasma membrane, and with sorting nexin 1 (SNX1), known to be involved in targeting receptors to lysosomal degradation. EBP50 did not bind any of the dopamine receptor tails. NSF bound strongly to D1 and D5 and only weakly to D2, D3 and D4. However, SNX1 clearly distinguished between D1 and D5, as only D5 bound strongly to this protein. This report shows that there are distinct interaction patterns for NSF and SNX1 to the various dopamine receptor subtypes.

Abstract
delta and micro opioid receptors are homologous G protein-coupled receptors that are differentially sorted between divergent degradative and recycling membrane pathways following agonist-induced endocytosis. Whereas delta opioid receptors are selectively sorted to lysosomes, micro opioid receptors recycle rapidly to the plasma membrane by a process that has been proposed to occur via bulk membrane flow. We have observed that micro opioid receptors do not recycle by default and have defined a specific sequence present in the cytoplasmic tail of the cloned micro opioid receptor that is both necessary and sufficient for rapid recycling of internalized receptors. This sequence is completely distinct from a sequence shown previously to be required for recycling of the beta2 adrenergic receptor yet is functionally interchangeable when tested in chimeric mutant receptors. These results indicate that signal-dependent recycling is a more common property of G protein-coupled receptors than previously appreciated and demonstrate that such a modular recycling signal distinguishes the regulation of homologous receptors that are naturally co-expressed.

Abstract
Although the fates of the internalized hormone-receptor complexes formed by the lutropin/choriogonadotropin and the TSH receptors have been examined in some detail, much less is known about the fate of the internalized FSH-FSH receptor (FSHR) complex. Using biochemical and imaging approaches we show here that the majority of the internalized FSH-FSHR complex accumulates in endosomes and subsequently recycles back to the cell surface where the bound, intact hormone dissociates back into the medium. Only small amounts of FSH and the FSHR are routed to a lysosomal degradation pathway, and the extent of FSH-induced down-regulation of the cell surface and total FSHR is minimal. This pathway was detected in heterologous (human kidney 293T) cells transfected with the rat (r) or human (h) FSHR as well as in a mouse Sertoli cell line (MSC-1) or a mouse granulosa cell line (KK-1) transfected with the rFSHR.Additional experiments using a series of C-terminal deletions of the rFSHR and the hFSHR showed that the recycling of the internalized FSH-FSHR complex and the extent of hFSH-induced down-regulation is dictated by a short stretch of amino acids present at the extreme C-terminal end of the receptor.We conclude that most of the internalized FSH-FSHR complex is recycled back to the cell surface, that this recycling pathway is highly dependent on amino acid residues present near the C terminus of the FSHR, and that it is an important determinant of the extent of down-regulation of the FSHR.

Abstract
By using a yeast two-hybrid screen we identified GIPC (GAIP-interacting protein C terminus), a protein with a type I PDZ domain as a novel human lutropin receptor (hLHR) binding partner. Pull-down and immunoprecipitation assays confirmed this interaction and showed that it is dependent on the PDZ domain of GIPC and the C-terminal tetrapeptide of the hLHR. To characterize the functional consequences of the GIPC-hLHR interaction, we used a small interfering RNA against GIPC to generate a clonal cell line that is deficient in GIPC. Studies with this cell line reveal that GIPC is partially responsible for the recycling of the hormone that is internalized by the hLHR and also for maintaining a relatively constant level of hLHR at the cell surface during hormone internalization.

Abstract
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent phospholipid mediator involved in various disease states such as allergic asthma, atherosclerosis and psoriasis. The human PAF receptor (PAFR) is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. Following PAF stimulation, cells become rapidly desensitized; this refractory state can be maintained for hours and is dependent on PAFR phosphorylation, internalization, and down-regulation. In this report, we characterized ligand-induced, long term PAFR desensitization, and pathways leading to its degradation. Some GPCRs are known to be targeted to proteasomes for degradation while others traffic via the early/late endosomes toward lysosomes. Specific inhibitors of lysosomal proteases and inhibitors of the proteasome were effective in reducing the ligand-induced PAFR down-regulation by 40 and 25%, respectively, indicating the importance of receptor targeting to both lysosomes and proteasomes in long term cell desensitization to PAF. The effects of the proteasome and lysosomal protease inhibitors were additive and, together, completely blocked ligand-induced degradation of PAFR. Using dominant-negative Rab5 and 7 and colocalization of the PAFR with the early endosome autoantigen I (EEAI) or transferrin, we confirmed that ligand-induced PAFR down-regulation was Rab5/7-dependent and involved lysosomal degradation. In addition, we also demonstrated that PAFR was ubiquitinated in an agonist-independent manner. However, a dominant negative ubiquitin ligase (NCbl) reduced PAFR ubiquitination and inhibited ligand-induced but not basal receptor degradation. Our results indicate that PAFR degradation can occur via both the proteasome and lysosomal pathways and ligand-stimulated degradation is ubiquitin-dependent.

Abstract
beta1- and beta2-adrenergic receptors (AR) regulate cardiac myocyte function through distinct signaling pathways. In addition to regulating cardiac rate and contractility, beta1AR and beta2AR may play different roles in the pathogenesis of heart failure. Studies on neonatal cardiac myocytes from beta1AR and beta2AR knockout mice suggest that subtype-specific signaling is determined by subtype-specific membrane targeting and trafficking. Stimulation of beta2ARs has a biphasic effect on contraction rate, with an initial increase followed by a sustained Gi-dependent decrease. Recent studies show that a PDZ domain-binding motif at the carboxyl terminus of human beta2AR interacts with ezrin-binding protein 50/sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor, a PDZ-domain-containing protein. The human beta2AR carboxyl terminus also binds to N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor, which does not contain a PDZ domain. We found that mutation of the three carboxyl-terminal amino acids in the mouse beta2AR (beta2AR-AAA) disrupts recycling of the receptor after agonist-induced internalization in cardiac myocytes. Nevertheless, stimulation of the beta2AR-AAA produced a greater contraction rate increase than that of the wild-type beta2AR. This enhanced stimulation of contraction rate can be attributed in part to the failure of the beta2AR-AAA to couple to Gi. We also observed that coupling of endogenous, wild-type beta2AR to Gi in beta1AR knockout myocytes is inhibited by treatment with a membrane-permeable peptide representing the beta2AR carboxyl terminus. These studies demonstrate that association of the carboxyl terminus of the beta2AR with ezrin-binding protein 50/sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor, N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor, or some related proteins dictates physiologic signaling specificity and trafficking in cardiac myocytes.

Abstract
N-ethyl maleimide sensitive factor (NSF) belongs to the AAA family of ATPases and is involved in a number of cellular functions, including vesicle fusion and trafficking of membrane proteins. We present the three-dimensional structure of the hydrolysis mutant E329Q of NSF complexed with an ATP-ADP mixture at 11 A resolution by electron cryomicroscopy and single-particle averaging of NSF.alpha-SNAP.SNARE complexes. The NSF domains D1 and D2 form hexameric rings that are arranged in a double-layered barrel. Our structure is more consistent with an antiparallel orientation of the two rings rather than a parallel one. The crystal structure of the D2 domain of NSF was docked into the EM density map and shows good agreement, including details at the secondary structural level. Six protrusions corresponding to the N domain of NSF (NSF-N) emerge from the sides of the D1 domain ring. The density corresponding to alpha-SNAP and SNAREs is located on the 6-fold axis of the structure, near the NSF-N domains. The density of the N domain is weak, suggesting conformational variability in this part of NSF.

Abstract
The carboxyl terminus (C-tail) of G protein-coupled receptors is divergent in length and structure and may represent an individualized cytoplasmic domain. By progressively truncating the A1 adenosine receptor, a Gi/o-coupled receptor with short cytoplasmic stretches, we identify two inherent functions of the C-tail, namely a role in receptor export from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and a role in G protein coupling. Deletion of the last 22 and 26 amino acids (of 36) reduced and completely abolished surface expression of the receptor, respectively. The severely truncated receptors were retained in the ER and failed to bind ligands. If overexpressed, even a substantial portion of the full-length receptor was retained in the ER in a form that was not functional. These data indicate that folding is rate limiting in export from the ER and that the proximal segment of the carboxyl terminus provides a docking site for the machinery involved in folding and quality control. In addition, the proximal portion is also important in G protein coupling. This latter role was unmasked when the distal portion of the C-tail (the extreme 18 amino acids, including a palmitoylated cysteine) had been removed; the resulting receptor was functional and transferred the agonist-mediated signal more efficiently than the full-length receptor. Signaling was enhanced because the coupling affinity increased (by 3-fold), which translated into a higher agonist potency. Thus, the distal portion of the carboxyl terminus provides for an autoinhibitory restraint, presumably by folding back and preventing G protein access to the proximal part of the C-tail.

Abstract
Agonist-dependent internalization of G protein-coupled receptors via clathrin-coated pits is dependent on the adaptor protein beta-arrestin, which interacts with elements of the endocytic machinery such as AP2 and clathrin. For the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) this requires ubiquitination of beta-arrestin by E3 ubiquitin ligase, Mdm2. Based on trafficking patterns and affinity of beta-arrestin, G protein-coupled receptors are categorized into two classes. For class A receptors (e.g. beta(2)AR), which recycle rapidly, beta-arrestin directs the receptors to clathrin-coated pits but does not internalize with them. For class B receptors (e.g. V2 vasopressin receptors), which recycle slowly, beta-arrestin internalizes with the receptor into endosomes. In COS-7 and human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells, stimulation of the beta(2)AR or V2 vasopressin receptor leads, respectively, to transient or stable beta-arrestin ubiquitination. The time course of ubiquitination and deubiquitination of beta-arrestin correlates with its association with and dissociation from each type of receptor. Chimeric receptors, constructed by switching the cytoplasmic tails of the two classes of receptors (beta(2)AR and V2 vasopressin receptors), demonstrate reversal of the patterns of both beta-arrestin trafficking and beta-arrestin ubiquitination. To explore the functional consequences of beta-arrestin ubiquitination we constructed a yellow fluorescent protein-tagged beta-arrestin2-ubiquitin chimera that cannot be deubiquitinated by cellular deubiquitinases. This "permanently ubiquitinated" beta-arrestin did not dissociate from the beta(2)AR but rather internalized with it into endosomes, thus transforming this class A receptor into a class B receptor with respect to its trafficking pattern. Overexpression of this beta-arrestin ubiquitin chimera in HEK-293 cells also results in enhancement of beta(2)AR internalization and degradation. In the presence of N-ethylmaleimide (an inhibitor of deubiquitinating enzymes), coimmunoprecipitation of the receptor and beta-arrestin was increased dramatically, suggesting that deubiquitination of beta-arrestin triggers its dissociation from the receptor. Thus the ubiquitination status of beta-arrestin determines the stability of the receptor-beta-arrestin complex as well as the trafficking pattern of beta-arrestin.

Abstract
Regulated exocytosis of secretory granules or dense-core granules has been examined in many well-characterized cell types including neurons, neuroendocrine, endocrine, exocrine, and hemopoietic cells and also in other less well-studied cell types. Secretory granule exocytosis occurs through mechanisms with many aspects in common with synaptic vesicle exocytosis and most likely uses the same basic protein components. Despite the widespread expression and conservation of a core exocytotic machinery, many variations occur in the control of secretory granule exocytosis that are related to the specialized physiological role of particular cell types. In this review we describe the wide range of cell types in which regulated secretory granule exocytosis occurs and assess the evidence for the expression of the conserved fusion machinery in these cells. The signals that trigger and regulate exocytosis are reviewed. Aspects of the control of exocytosis that are specific for secretory granules compared with synaptic vesicles or for particular cell types are described and compared to define the range of accessory control mechanisms that exert their effects on the core exocytotic machinery.

Abstract
The vast majority of G protein-coupled receptors are desensitized by a uniform two-step mechanism: phosphorylation of an active receptor followed by arrestin binding. The arrestin x receptor complex is then internalized. Internalized receptor can be recycled back to the plasma membrane (resensitization) or targeted to lysosomes for degradation (down-regulation). The intracellular compartment where this choice is made and the molecular mechanisms involved are largely unknown. Here we used two arrestin2 mutants that bind with high affinity to phosphorylated and unphosphorylated agonist-activated beta 2-adrenergic receptor to manipulate the receptor-arrestin interface. We found that mutants support rapid internalization of beta 2-adrenergic receptor similar to wild type arrestin2. At the same time, phosphorylation-independent arrestin2 mutants facilitate receptor recycling and sharply reduce the rate of receptor loss, effectively protecting beta 2-adrenergic receptor from down-regulation even after very long (up to 24 h) agonist exposure. Phosphorylation-independent arrestin2 mutants dramatically reduce receptor phosphorylation in response to an agonist both in vitro and in cells. Interestingly, co-expression of high levels of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase restores receptor down-regulation in the presence of mutants to the levels observed with wild type arrestin2. Our data suggest that unphosphorylated receptor internalized in complex with mutant arrestins recycles faster than phosphoreceptor and is less likely to get degraded. Thus, targeted manipulation of the characteristics of an arrestin protein that binds to a G protein-coupled receptors can dramatically change receptor trafficking and its ultimate fate in a cell.

Abstract
Many G protein-coupled receptors undergo endocytosis, but the mechanisms involved in endocytic sorting and recycling remain to be fully elucidated. We found that the G protein-coupled calcitonin receptor (CTR) undergoes tonic internalization and accumulates within the cell. Using a fluorescence loss in photobleaching assay, we classified these vesicles functionally as recycling vesicles. In a two-hybrid screening, we found that the actin-binding protein filamin interacted with the C-terminal tail of the CTR. The degradation of the receptor was profoundly increased in the absence of filamin or the CTR-filamin interaction. The absence of filamin was also associated with a marked decrease in recycling of the receptor from the endosomes to the cell surface. In contrast, calcitonin-induced inhibition of spontaneous filamin proteolysis was associated with increased recycling of the receptor to the cell surface and decreased degradation of the CTR, suggesting an important role for filamin in the endocytic sorting and recycling of the internalized CTR.
