Abstract
Exocytic events are tightly regulated cellular processes in which rab GTPases and their interacting proteins perform an important function. We set out to identify new binding partners of rab3, which mediates regulated secretion events in specialized cells. We discovered Zwint-1 as a rab3 specific binding protein that bound preferentially to rab3c. The interaction depends on a critical residue in rab3c that determines the binding efficiency of Zwint-1, which is immaterial for interaction with rabphilin3a. Rab3c and Zwint-1 are expressed highly in brain and colocalized extensively in primary hippocampal neurons. We also found that SNAP25 bound to the same region in Zwint-1 as rab3c, suggesting a new role for the kinetochore protein Zwint-1 in presynaptic events that are regulated by rab3 and SNAP25.

Abstract
SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein-attachment protein receptor) proteins involved in membrane fusion usually contain a conserved alpha-helix (SNARE motif) that is flanked by a C-terminal transmembrane domain. They can be classified into Q-SNARE and R-SNARE based on the structural property of their motifs. Assembly of four SNARE motifs (Qa, b, c and R) is supposed to trigger membrane fusion. We have previously shown that ER (endoplasmic reticulum)-localized syntaxin 18 (Qa) forms a complex with BNIP1 (Qb), p31/Use1 (Qc), Sec22b (R) and several peripheral membrane proteins. In the present study, we examined the interaction of syntaxin 18 with other SNAREs using pulldown assays and CD spectroscopy. We found that the association of syntaxin 18 with Sec22b induces an increase in alpha-helicity of their SNARE motifs, which results in the formation of high-affinity binding sites for BNIP1 and p31. This R-SNARE-dependent Q-SNARE assembly is quite different from the assembly mechanisms of SNAREs localized in organelles other than the ER. The implication of the mechanism of ER SNARE assembly is discussed in the context of the physiological roles of the syntaxin 18 complex.

Abstract
Certain endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) substrates with transmembrane domains are segregated from other ER proteins and sorted into a juxtanuclear subcompartment, known as the ER quality control compartment. Bap31 is an ER protein with three transmembrane domains, and it is assumed to be a cargo receptor for ER export of some transmembrane proteins, especially those prone to ERAD. Here, we show that Bap31 is a component of the ER quality control compartment and that it moves between the peripheral ER and a juxtanuclear ER or ER-related compartment distinct from the conventional ER-Golgi intermediate compartment. The third and second transmembrane domains of Bap31 are principally responsible for the movement to and recycling from the juxtanuclear region, respectively. This cycling was blocked by depolymerization of microtubules and disruption of dynein-dynactin function. Overexpression of Sar1p and Arf1 mutants affected Bap31 cycling, suggesting that this cycling pathway is related to the conventional vesicular transport pathways.

Abstract
We used multiple approaches to investigate the role of Rab6 relative to Zeste White 10 (ZW10), a mitotic checkpoint protein implicated in Golgi/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) trafficking/transport, and conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex, a putative tether in retrograde, intra-Golgi trafficking. ZW10 depletion resulted in a central, disconnected cluster of Golgi elements and inhibition of ERGIC53 and Golgi enzyme recycling to ER. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) against RINT-1, a protein linker between ZW10 and the ER soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor, syntaxin 18, produced similar Golgi disruption. COG3 depletion fragmented the Golgi and produced vesicles; vesicle formation was unaffected by codepletion of ZW10 along with COG, suggesting ZW10 and COG act separately. Rab6 depletion did not significantly affect Golgi ribbon organization. Epistatic depletion of Rab6 inhibited the Golgi-disruptive effects of ZW10/RINT-1 siRNA or COG inactivation by siRNA or antibodies. Dominant-negative expression of guanosine diphosphate-Rab6 suppressed ZW10 knockdown induced-Golgi disruption. No cross-talk was observed between Rab6 and endosomal Rab5, and Rab6 depletion failed to suppress p115 (anterograde tether) knockdown-induced Golgi disruption. Dominant-negative expression of a C-terminal fragment of Bicaudal D, a linker between Rab6 and dynactin/dynein, suppressed ZW10, but not COG, knockdown-induced Golgi disruption. We conclude that Rab6 regulates distinct Golgi trafficking pathways involving two separate protein complexes: ZW10/RINT-1 and COG.

Abstract
ZW10 participates in the termination of the spindle checkpoint during mitosis by interacting with dynamitin, a subunit of the dynein accessory complex dynactin. We previously showed that ZW10 is attached to the endoplasmic reticulum through RINT-1 in interphase HeLa cells and involved in membrane transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. Although a recent study demonstrated that ZW10 is localized in the Golgi in COS7 cells, the mechanism that regulates ZW10 localization remains unknown. In this study we showed a correlation between the Golgi localization of ZW10 and the centrosomal accumulation of dynactin. The amounts of ZW10 associated with dynactin were larger in cells where ZW10 was present in the Golgi than those where ZW10 was not in the Golgi. The targeting of ZW10 to the perinuclear Golgi region was found to depend on the perinuclear accumulation of dynactin, suggesting that dynactin regulates ZW10 localization.

Abstract
Faithful mitotic partitioning of the Golgi apparatus and the centrosome is critical for proper cell division. Although these two cytoplasmic organelles are probably coordinated during cell division, supporting evidence of this coordination is still largely lacking. Here, we show that the RAD50-interacting protein, RINT-1, is localized at the Golgi apparatus and the centrosome in addition to the endoplasmic reticulum. To examine the biological roles of RINT-1, we found that the homozygous deletion of Rint-1 caused early embryonic lethality at embryonic day 5 (E5) to E6 and the failure of blastocyst outgrowth ex vivo. About 81% of the Rint-1 heterozygotes succumbed to multiple tumor formation with haploinsufficiency during their average life span of 24 months. To pinpoint the cellular function of RINT-1, we found that RINT-1 depletion by RNA interference led to the loss of the pericentriolar positioning and dispersal of the Golgi apparatus and concurrent centrosome amplification during the interphase. Upon mitotic entry, RINT-1-deficient cells exhibited multiple abnormalities, including aberrant Golgi dynamics during early mitosis and defective reassembly at telophase, increased formation of multiple spindle poles, and frequent chromosome missegregation. Mitotic cells often underwent cell death in part due to the overwhelming cellular defects. Taken together, these findings suggest that RINT-1 serves as a novel tumor suppressor essential for maintaining the dynamic integrity of the Golgi apparatus and the centrosome, a prerequisite to their proper coordination during cell division.

Abstract
During vesicular transport, the assembly of the coat complexes and the selection of cargo proteins must be coordinated with the subsequent translocation of vesicles from the donor to an acceptor compartment. Here, we review recent progress toward uncovering the molecular mechanisms that connect transport vesicles to the protein machinery responsible for cytoskeleton-mediated motility. An emerging theme is that vesicle cargo proteins, either directly or through binding interactions with coat proteins, are able to influence cytoskeletal dynamics and motor protein function. Hence, a vesicle's cargo composition may help direct its intracellular motility and targeting.

Abstract
Intracellular localization of the penta-EF-hand Ca2+-binding protein ALG-2 in HeLa cells was investigated by immunofluorescent confocal microscopy using a polyclonal antibody. In addition to its presence in the nucleus, ALG-2 was found to be distributed in a punctate pattern in the cytoplasm, where it was partly co-stained with an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit site marker p125. In vitro GST pull down analysis demonstrated that ALG-2 and its alternatively spliced isoform interact with the COPII component Sec31A in a Ca2+-dependent manner, and a biotin-labeled ALG-2 overlay assay revealed direct binding of ALG-2 to Sec31A. Biochemical and immunofluorescent microscopic analyses showed that ALG-2 was enriched at the Sec31A-localizing membrane compartments upon stimulation with the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. In contrast, treatment of cells with the membrane-permeant Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM led to a dispersion of ALG-2 throughout the cells and to a significant loss of Sec31A in the perinuclear region. These findings establish Sec31A as a novel target for ALG-2 and provide a framework for studies on the roles of ALG-2 in ER-Golgi transport.

Abstract
ZW10 was initially identified as a mitotic checkpoint protein involved in chromosome segregation. It was subsequently implicated in targeting cytoplasmic dynein and dynactin to mitotic kinetochores, though the relationship between these functions remains incompletely understood. Recent studies have revealed that ZW10 performs important functions in nondividing cells as well. These include cytoplasmic dynein targeting to Golgi and other membranes, but also SNARE-mediated ER-Golgi trafficking. Identifying a unifying function for ZW10 in these diverse contexts has been elusive, but likely involves cytoplasmic dynein, as discussed here.

Abstract
Molecular motors drive the transport of vesicles and organelles within the cell. Traditionally, these transport processes have been considered separately from membrane trafficking events, such as regulated budding and fusion. However, recent progress has revealed mechanistic links that integrate these processes within the cell. Rab proteins, which function as key regulators of intracellular trafficking, have now been shown to recruit specific motors to organelle membranes. Rab-independent recruitment of motors by adaptor or scaffolding proteins is also a key mechanism. Once recruited to vesicles and organelles, these motors can then drive directed transport; this directed transport could in turn affect the efficiency of trafficking events. Here, we discuss this coordinated regulation of trafficking and transport, which provides a powerful mechanism for temporal and spatial control of cellular dynamics.
