Abstract
Resident tissue macrophages mediate early innate immune responses to microbial infection. Cytosolic phospholipase A(2)alpha (cPLA(2)alpha) is activated in macrophages during phagocytosis of non-opsonized yeast (zymosan) triggering arachidonic acid release and eicosanoid production. cPLA(2)alpha translocates from cytosol to membrane in response to intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) increases. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-cPLA(2)alpha translocated to forming phagosomes, surrounding the zymosan particle by 5 min and completely overlapping with early endosome (Rab5) and plasma membrane (F4/80) markers but only partially overlapping with resident endoplasmic reticulum proteins (GRP78 and cyclooxygenase 2). EGFP-cPLA(2)alpha also localized to membrane ruffles during phagocytosis. Zymosan induced an initial high amplitude calcium transient that preceded particle uptake followed by a low amplitude sustained calcium increase. Both phases were required for optimal phagocytosis. Extracellular calcium chelation prevented only the sustained phase but allowed a limited number of phagocytic events, which were accompanied by translocation of cPLA(2)alpha to the phagosome although [Ca(2+)](i) remained at resting levels. The results demonstrate that cPLA(2)alpha targets the phagosome membrane, which may serve as a source of arachidonic acid for eicosanoid production.

Abstract
Phagosome maturation involves extensive remodelling of the phagosomal membrane as a result of intracellular transport events. Newly formed phagosomes exchange membrane-associated and soluble proteins with early endosomes by fusion. Budding of vesicles from the phagosome and fusion with Golgi-derived vesicles may also contribute to the remodelling of the phagosomal compartment. As a consequence of changes in membrane composition, phagosomes acquire the ability to fuse with late endocytic compartments. In vitro reconstitution and other studies suggest that the trafficking events underlying phagosome maturation require several GTP-binding proteins, including Rab5 and Galphas', NSF-SNAP-SNARE complexes and coatomers.

Abstract
Annexin 2 belongs to the annexin family of proteins that bind to phospholipid membranes in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Here we show that, under mild acidic conditions, annexin 2 binds to and aggregates membranes containing anionic phospholipids, a fact that questions the mechanism of its interaction with membranes via Ca(2+) bridges only. The H(+) sensitivity of annexin 2-mediated aggregation is modulated by lipid composition (i.e. cholesterol content). Cryo-electron microscopy of aggregated liposomes revealed that both the monomeric and the tetrameric forms of the protein form bridges between the liposomes at acidic pH. Monomeric annexin 2 induced two different organizations of the membrane junctions. The first resembled that obtained at pH 7 in the presence of Ca(2+). For the tetramer, the arrangement was different. These bridges seemed more flexible than the Ca(2+)-mediated junctions allowing the invagination of membranes. Time-resolved fluorescence analysis at mild acidic pH and the measurement of Stokes radius revealed that the protein undergoes conformational changes similar to those induced by Ca(2+). Labeling with the lipophilic probe 3-(trifluoromethyl)-3-(m-[(125)I]iodophenyl)diazirine indicated that the protein has access to the hydrophobic part of the membrane at both acidic pH in the absence of Ca(2+) and at neutral pH in the presence of Ca(2+). Models for the membrane interactions of annexin 2 at neutral pH in the presence of Ca(2+) and at acidic pH are discussed.

Abstract
Conventionally, MHC class I-restricted antigen (Ag) processing requires the action of the multimolecular peptide-loading complex within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here we show that early phagosomes from human dendritic cells (DCs) contain the peptide-loading complex, incorporating MHC class I, beta2 microglobulin, transporter associated with Ag processing (TAP), calreticulin, tapasin, and ERp57. Antigenic peptides could be translocated into purified phagosomes by TAP and loaded onto cognate class I molecules, inducing their specific dissociation from the loading complex. Endoglycosidase H-sensitive class I molecules were detected at the DC cell surface, suggesting that these molecules traffic there directly from phagosomes. Macropinocytosis also allowed internalized soluble Ags access to an ER-like compartment containing the class I loading complex. Blockade of TAP by endocytosis of a soluble derivative of human cytomegalovirus protein US6 confirmed that, although retrotranslocation into the cytosol is critical for processing, efficient association of class I molecules with peptides derived from exogenous Ags occurs within a compartment directly accessible to internalized proteins. Together, this evidence suggests that early phagosomes and pinosomes facilitate cross presentation of exogenous Ags by DCs.

Abstract
We have identified a subset of Dictyostelium endosomes that carry a long chain fatty acyl coenzyme A-synthetase (LC-FACS 1) on their cytosolic surface. Immunofluorescence studies and observations using GFP-fusion proteins collectively suggest that LC-FACS 1 associates with endosomes a few minutes after their formation, remains bound through the acidic phase of endocytic maturation and dissociates early in the phase where the endosomal content is neutralised prior to exocytosis. Mutants in the fcsA gene, encoding the LC-FACS 1 protein, were constructed by homologous recombination. These cells show a strong defect in the intracellular accumulation of fatty acids, either taken up together with the liquid medium or bound to the surface of particles. Because the mutant cells are otherwise fully competent for macropinocytosis and phagocytosis, we conclude that the LC-FACS 1 protein mediates the retrieval of fatty acids from the lumen of endosomes into the cytoplasm.

Abstract
Pathogenic mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium facilitate disease by surviving intracellularly within a potentially hostile environment: the macrophage phagosome. They inhibit phagosome maturation processes, including fusion with lysosomes, acidification and, as shown here, membrane actin assembly. An in vitro assay developed for latex bead phagosomes (LBPs) provided insights into membrane signalling events that regulate phagosome actin assembly, a process linked to membrane fusion. Different lipids were found to stimulate or inhibit actin assembly by LBPs and mycobacterial phagosomes in vitro. In addition, selected lipids activated actin assembly and phagosome maturation in infected macrophages, resulting in a significant killing of M. tuberculosis and M. avium. In contrast, the polyunsaturated sigma-3 lipids behaved differently and stimulated pathogen growth. Thus, lipids can be involved in both stimulatory and inhibitory signalling networks in the phagosomal membrane.

Abstract
The Gram-negative pathogen Salmonella enterica can survive and replicate within a variety of mammalian cells. Regardless of the cell type, internalized bacteria survive and replicate within the Salmonella-containing vacuole, the biogenesis of which is dependent on bacterially encoded virulence factors. In particular, Type III secretion systems translocate bacterial effector proteins into the eukaryotic cell where they can specifically interact with a variety of targets. Salmonella has two distinct Type III secretion systems that are believed to have completely different functions. The SPI2 system is induced intracellularly and is required for intracellular survival in macrophages; it plays no role in invasion but is categorized as being required for Salmonella-containing vacuole biogenesis. In contrast, the SPI1 Type III secretion system is induced extracellularly and is essential for invasion of nonphagocytic cells. Its role in post-invasion processes has not been well studied. Recent studies indicate that Salmonella-containing vacuole biogenesis may be more dependent on SPI1 than previously believed. Other non-SPI2 virulence factors and the host cell itself may play critical roles in determining the intracellular environment of this facultative intracellular pathogen. In this review we discuss the recent advances in determining the mechanisms by which Salmonella regulate Salmonella-containing vacuole biogenesis and the implications of these findings.

Abstract
Phagocytosis is the process that cells have evolved to internalise large particles such as mineral debris, which they store, or apoptotic cells and pathogens, which they have the capacity to kill and degrade. However, several important pathogens can suppress these killing functions and survive and multiply within phagosomes, causing disease. Recent advances in phagosome biology have been made possible largely by a model system that uses inert latex beads. The ability to purify latex bead-containing phagosomes has opened the door to allow comprehensive biochemical analyses and functional assays to study the molecular mechanisms governing phagosome function. These approaches have led to unique insights directly relevant for the understanding of the biology of intracellular pathogens and the ways by which they subvert their hosts.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (M. a. ptb) survives within macrophages are not well characterized. One strategy for intracellular survival developed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is inhibition of phagosomal maturation. In this study it was hypothesized that M. a. ptb is capable of survival within macrophages by residing within a phagosomal compartment that does not mature into a functional phagolysosome. To test this hypothesis the following objectives were determined. Phagosomal maturation was evaluated by comparison of stage specific markers on the membranes of phagosomes containing live M. a. ptb with those containing killed M. a. ptb, Mycobacterium smegmatis, and zymosan A using immunofluorescent labeling and confocal microscopy. Intracellular survival of live M. a. ptb within J774 macrophages was compared to that of M. smegmatis by direct determination of bacterial viability by differential live/dead staining. The results of this study show that the phagosomes containing live M. a. ptb had increased levels of an early marker (transferrin receptor [TFR]) and decreased levels of a late maturation marker (lysosome associated membrane protein one [Lamp-1]), relative to those containing killed M. a. ptb, M. smegmatis, and zymosan A. Additionally, compared to M. smegmatis, M. a. ptb has enhanced ability to survive within cultured macrophages. These data indicate that M. a. ptb resists intracellular killing by residing within a phagosomal compartment that retains the characteristics of early phagosomes and resists maturation into functional phagolysosome.

Abstract
Previous work demonstrates that the biosynthetic precursor of cholesterol, desmosterol, is released from cells and that its efflux to high density lipoprotein or phosphatidylcholine vesicles is greater than that of newly synthesized cholesterol (Johnson, W. J., Fischer, R. T., Phillips, M. C., and Rothblat, G. H. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 25037-25046). Here we report that the release of individual precursor sterols varies with the efflux of newly synthesized zymosterol being greater than that of lathosterol and both exceeding that of newly synthesized cholesterol when using either methyl-beta-cyclodextrin or complete serum as acceptors. The transfer of newly synthesized lathosterol to methyl-beta-cyclodextrin was inhibited by actin polymerization but not by Golgi disassembly whereas that of newly synthesized cholesterol was inhibited by both conditions. Newly synthesized lathosterol associated with cellular detergent-resistant membranes more rapidly than newly synthesized cholesterol. Upon efflux to serum, newly synthesized cholesterol precursors associated with both high and low density lipoproteins. Stimulation of the formation of direct endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contacts was accompanied by enhanced efflux of newly synthesized lathosterol but not of newly synthesized cholesterol to serum acceptors. The data indicate that the efflux of cholesterol precursors differs not only from that of cholesterol but also from each other, with the more polar zymosterol being more avidly effluxed. Moreover, the results suggest that the intracellular routing of cholesterol precursors differs from that of newly synthesized cholesterol and implicates a potential role for the actin cytoskeleton and endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contacts in the efflux of lathosterol.

Abstract
Endocytosis in protozoa is often regarded as largely different from the pathways operating in mammalian cells. Experiments in the amoeba Dictyostelium, one of the genetically tractable single-celled organisms, have allowed us to manipulate the flow through endocytic compartments and to study the dynamic distribution of molecules by means of green fluorescent protein fusions. This review attempts to compile the molecular data available from Dictyostelium and assign them to specific steps of internalization by phagocytosis or macropinocytosis and to subsequent stages of the endocytic pathway. Parallels to phagocytes of the mammalian immune system are emphasized. The major distinctive feature between mammalian phagocytes and free-living cells is the need for osmoregulation. Therefore Dictyostelium cells possess a contractile vacuole that has occasionally obscured analysis of endocytosis but is now found to be entirely separate from endocytic organelles. In conclusion, the potential of Dictyostelium amoebas to provide a model system of mammalian phagocytes is ever increasing.

Abstract
Quantitative immunoelectron microscopy of gold label in intracellular compartments often involves calculating labelling densities (LDs). These are related to antigen concentrations and usually refer gold particle counts to the sizes of compartments on sections (for example, golds per microm(2) of organelle profile area or per microm of membrane trace length). Here, we show how LD values can be estimated more simply (without estimating areas or lengths) and also how observed and expected LD values can be used to calculate a relative labelling index (RLI) for each compartment and then test statistically for preferential (non-random) labelling. For random labelling, RLI=1. Compartment size is estimated stereologically by superimposing random test points (which hit organelle profiles in proportion to their area) or test lines (which intersect membrane traces in proportion to their length). By this means, the observed LD of a compartment (LD(obs)) can be expressed simply as golds per test point (organelles) or per intersection (membranes). Furthermore, the LD obtained by dividing total golds (on all compartments) by total points or intersections (on all compartments) is the value to be expected (LD(exp)) when compartments label randomly. For each compartment, RLI=LD(obs)/LD(exp). Statistical analysis is undertaken by comparing observed distributions of golds with predicted random distributions (calculated from point or intersection counts). A compartment is preferentially labelled if two criteria are met: (1) its RLI>1 (i.e. LD(obs) is greater than LD(exp)) and (2) its partial chi-squared value makes a substantial contribution to total chi-squared value. This approach provides a simple and efficient way of comparing LDs in different compartments. Its utility is illustrated using data from VPARP and LAMP-1 labelling experiments.

Abstract
Genomics and other high-throughput approaches, such as proteomics, are changing the way we study complex biological systems. In the past few years, these approaches have contributed markedly to improving our understanding of phagocytosis. Indeed, the ability to study biological systems by monitoring hundreds of proteins provides a level of resolution that is not attainable by the usual 'one protein at a time' approach. In this article, I discuss how proteomic approaches have revealed surprising findings that enable us to revisit established concepts, such as the origin of the phagosome membrane, and to propose new models of cell organization and the link between innate and adaptive immunity.

Abstract
Phagosomal biogenesis is central for microbial killing and antigen presentation by leukocytes. However, the molecular mechanisms governing phagosome maturation are poorly understood. We analyzed the role and site of action of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K) and of Rab GTPases in maturation using both professional and engineered phagocytes. Rab5, which is recruited rapidly and transiently to the phagosome, was found to be essential for the recruitment of Rab7 and for progression to phagolysosomes. Similarly, functional PI3K is required for successful maturation. Remarkably, inhibition of PI3K did not preclude Rab5 recruitment to phagosomes but instead enhanced and prolonged it. Moreover, in the presence of PI3K inhibitors Rab5 was found to be active, as deduced from measurements of early endosome antigen 1 binding and by photobleaching recovery determinations. Though their ability to fuse with late endosomes and lysosomes was virtually eliminated by wortmannin, phagosomes nevertheless recruited a sizable amount of Rab7. Moreover, Rab7 recruited to phagosomes in the presence of PI3K antagonists retained the ability to bind its effector, Rab7-interacting lysosomal protein, suggesting that it is functionally active. These findings imply that (i) dissociation of Rab5 from phagosomes requires products of PI3K, (ii) PI3K-dependent effectors of Rab5 are not essential for the recruitment of Rab7 by phagosomes, and (iii) recruitment and activation of Rab7 are insufficient to induce fusion of phagosomes with late endosomes and lysosomes. Accordingly, transfection of constitutively active Rab7 did not bypass the block of phagolysosome formation exerted by wortmannin. We propose that Rab5 activates both PI3K-dependent and PI3K-independent effectors that act in parallel to promote phagosome maturation.

Abstract
We have studied the intracellular localization of annexins I,II, VI, VII, and XI in cells containing latex beads or Mycobacterium avium at different times after ingestion in order to establish whether a correlation existed between the association of annexins to phagosomes and phagolysosomal fusion, since the intracellular survival of mycobacteria is linked to an impairment of phagosome maturation. We demonstrate an important decrease in the levels of association of annexins I, VI, VII and XI, but not II to phagosomes containing either live or killed mycobacteria compared with phagosomes containing inert latex particles. The reduced association of annexins observed was detected only on M. avium-containing phagosomes and not in other cell membrane nor in cytosolic fractions from infected cells, and was apparent from 8 hours through to 4 days after phagocytosis. These findings add elements to the present knowledge of the phagosomal modifications that accompany the survival of intracellular pathogens, suggesting that annexins I, VI, VII, and XI play a secondary role in phagosomal fusion events while annexin II does not seem to be related to the mechanism of regulation of endolysosomal fusion.

Abstract
Despite abundant evidence of actin's involvement at the particle internalization stage of phagocytosis, little is known about whether phagosomes undergo the same type of actin-based motility as observed with endocytic vesicles or such intracellular pathogens as Listeria and Shigella. By employing video microscopy to follow the fate of latex bead-containing phagosomes within the cytoplasm of bone marrow macrophages, we have made the novel observation of actin-based phagosome motility. Immunofluorescence microscopy confirmed that phagosomes containing IgG-opsonized, bovine serum albumin (or BSA) -coated or uncoated latex beads all formed actin-rich rocket tails that persisted only during a brief, 1-2 min period of actin-based motility. Average speeds of actin-based phagosome motility were 0.13 +/- 0.06 microm/s for IgG-coated beads, 0.14 +/- 0.04 microm/s for BSA-coated beads, and 0.11+/- 0.03 microm/s for uncoated beads. Moreover, the speeds and motile-phase duration of each type of phagosome were comparable to the behavior of pinosomes [Merrifield et al., 1999: Nat. Cell Biol. 1:72-74.]. Determination of optimal conditions for observing and analyzing actin-based phagosome motility should facilitate future investigations of phagocytosis and phagosome maturation.

The obligate intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii, the agent of Q fever in humans and of coxiellosis in other animals, survives and replicates within large, acidified, phagolysosome-like vacuoles known to fuse homo- and heterotypically with other vesicles. To further characterize these vacuoles, HeLa cells were infected with C. burnetii phase II; 48 h later, bacteria-containing vacuoles were labeled by LysoTracker, a marker of acidic compartments, and accumulated monodansylcadaverine and displayed protein LC3, both markers of autophagic vacuoles. Furthermore, 3-methyladenine and wortmannin, agents known to inhibit early stages in the autophagic process, each blocked Coxiella vacuole formation. These autophagosomal features suggest that Coxiella vacuoles interact with the autophagic pathway. The localization and role of wild-type and mutated Rab5 and Rab7, markers of early and late endosomes, respectively, were also examined to determine the role of these small GTPases in the trafficking of C. burnetii phase II. Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-Rab5 and GFP-Rab7 constructs were overexpressed and visualized by fluorescence microscopy. Coxiella-containing large vacuoles were labeled with wild-type Rab7 (Rab7wt) and with GTPase-deficient mutant Rab7Q67L, whereas no colocalization was observed with the dominant-negative mutant Rab7T22N. The vacuoles were also decorated by GFP-Rab5Q79L but not by GFP-Rab5wt. These results suggest that Rab7 participates in the biogenesis of the parasitophorous vacuoles.

Abstract
Molecular mechanisms of endocytosis in the genetically and biochemically tractable professional phagocyte Dictyostelium discoideum reveal a striking degree of similarity to higher eukaryotic cells. Pulse-chase feeding with latex beads allowed purification of phagosomes at different stages of maturation. Gentle ATP stripping of an actin meshwork entrapping contaminating organelles resulted in a 10-fold increase in yield and purity, as confirmed by electron microscopy. Temporal profiling of signaling, cytoskeletal, and trafficking proteins resulted in a complex molecular fingerprint of phagosome biogenesis and maturation. First, nascent phagosomes were associated with coronin and rapidly received a lysosomal glycoprotein, LmpB. Second, at least two phases of delivery of lysosomal hydrolases (cathepsin D [CatD] and cysteine protease [CPp34]) were accompanied by removal of plasma membrane components (PM4C4 and biotinylated surface proteins). Third, a phase of late maturation, preparing for final exocytosis of undigested material, included quantitative recycling of hydrolases and association with vacuolin. Also, lysosomal glycoproteins of the Lmp family showed distinct trafficking kinetics. The delivery and recycling of CatD was directly visualized by confocal microscopy. This heavy membrane traffic of cargos was precisely accompanied by regulatory proteins such as the Rab7 GTPases and the endosomal SNAREs Vti1 and VAMP7. This initial molecular description of phagocytosis demonstrates the feasibility of a comprehensive analysis of phagosomal lipids and proteins in genetically modified strains.

Abstract
The phagosome is a dynamic organelle that undergoes progressive changes to acquire the machinery required to kill and degrade internalized foreign particles. This maturation process involves sequential interaction of newly formed phagosomes with several components of the endocytic pathway. The proteins that mediate the ordered fusion of endosomes and lysosomes with the phagosome are not known. In this study, we investigated the possible role of syntaxins present in the endo/lysosomal pathway in directing phagosomal maturation. We show that in phagocytic cells syntaxin 13 is localized to the recycling endosome compartment, while syntaxin 7 is found in late endosomes/lysosomes. Both proteins are recruited to the phagosome, but syntaxin 13 is acquired earlier and rapidly recycles off the phagosome, while syntaxin 7 is recruited later and continues to accumulate throughout the maturation process. Overexpression of truncated (cytosolic) forms of syntaxin 13 or 7 had no effect on phagocytosis, but exerted an inhibitory effect on phagosomal maturation. These results indicate that syntaxins 13 and 7 are both required for interaction of endosomes and/or lysosomes with the phagosome, but play distinct roles in the maturation process.

Abstract
Phagocytosis is a key aspect of our innate ability to fight infectious diseases. In this study, we have found that fusion of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with the macrophage plasmalemma, underneath phagocytic cups, is a source of membrane for phagosome formation in macrophages. Successive waves of ER become associated with maturing phagosomes during phagolysosome biogenesis. Thus, the ER appears to possess unexpectedly pluripotent fusion properties. ER-mediated phagocytosis is regulated in part by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and used for the internalization of inert particles and intracellular pathogens, regardless of their final trafficking in the host. In neutrophils, where pathogens are rapidly killed, the ER is not used as a major source of membrane for phagocytosis. We propose that intracellular pathogens have evolved to adapt and exploit ER-mediated phagocytosis to avoid destruction in host cells.

Abstract
Actin assembly on membrane surfaces is an elusive process in which several phosphoinositides (PIPs) have been implicated. We have reconstituted actin assembly using a defined membrane surface, the latex bead phagosome (LBP), and shown that the PI(4,5)P(2)-binding proteins ezrin and/or moesin were essential for this process (). Here, we provide several lines of evidence that both preexisting and newly synthesized PI(4,5)P(2), and probably PI(4)P, are essential for phagosomal actin assembly; only these PIPs were routinely synthesized from ATP during in vitro actin assembly. Treatment of LBP with phospholipase C or with adenosine, an inhibitor of type II PI 4-kinase, as well as preincubation with anti-PI(4)P or anti-PI(4,5)P(2) antibodies all inhibited this process. Incorporation of extra PI(4)P or PI(4,5)P(2) into the LBP membrane led to a fivefold increase in the number of phagosomes that assemble actin. An ezrin mutant mutated in the PI(4,5)P(2)-binding sites was less efficient in binding to LBPs and in reconstituting actin assembly than wild-type ezrin. Our data show that PI 4- and PI 5-kinase, and under some conditions also PI 3-kinase, activities are present on LBPs and can be activated by ATP, even in the absence of GTP or cytosolic components. However, PI 3-kinase activity is not required for actin assembly, because the process was not affected by PI 3-kinase inhibitors. We suggest that the ezrin-dependent actin assembly on the LBP membrane may require active turnover of D4 and D5 PIPs on the organelle membrane.

Abstract
Internalization of Listeria monocytogenes into non-phagocytic cells is mediated by the interactions between the two bacterial invasion proteins InlA (internalin) and InlB and their cellular surface receptors E-cadherin and c-Met. To get an insight into all the cellular components necessary for uptake and early intracellular life, we undertook a global proteomic characterization of the early listerial phagosome in the human epithelial cell line LoVo. First, we proceeded to an immunocytochemical characterization of intracellular marker recruitment to phagosomes containing latex beads coated with InlA or InlB. E-cadherin and c-Met were, as expected, rapidly recruited to the phagosomal formation site. Phagosomes subsequently acquired the early endosomal antigen 1 (EEA1) and the lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1), while presenting a more delayed enrichment of the lysosomal hydrolase cathepsin D. Early phagosomes devoid of lysosomal, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi enzymatic activities could then be isolated by subcellular fractionation of LoVo cells. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DPAGE) revealed differences between the protein profiles of InlA- or InlB-phagosomes and those of early/late endosomes or lysosomes of naive LoVo cells. One major protein specifically recruited on the InlB-phagosomes was identified by mass spectrometry as MSF, a previously reported member of the septin family of GTPases. MSF forms filaments that co-localize with the actin cytoskeleton in resting cells and it is recruited to the entry site of InlB-coated beads. These results suggest that MSF is a putative effector of the InlB-mediated internalization of L. monocytogenes into host cells.

Abstract
Phagocytosis by macrophages and neutrophils involves the spatial and temporal reorganisation of the actin-based cytoskeleton at sites of particle ingestion. Local polymerisation of actin filaments supports the protrusion of pseudopodia that eventually engulf the particle. Here we have investigated in detail the cytoskeletal events initiated upon engagement of Fc receptors in macrophages. Ena/vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) proteins were recruited to phagosomes forming around opsonised particles in both primary and immortalised macrophages. Not only did the localisation of Ena/VASP proteins coincide, spatially and temporally, with the phagocytosis-induced reorganisation of actin filaments, but their recruitment to the phagocytic cup was required for the remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton, extension of pseudopodia and efficient particle internalisation. We also report that SLP-76, Vav and profilin were recruited to forming phagosomes. Upon induction of phagocytosis, a large molecular complex, consisting in part of Ena/VASP proteins, the Fyn-binding/SLP-76-associated protein (Fyb/SLAP), Src-homology-2 (SH2)-domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa (SLP-76), Nck, and the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP), was formed. Our findings suggest that activation of Fcγ receptors triggers two signalling events during phagocytosis: one through Fyb/SLAP that leads to recruitment of VASP and profilin; and another through Nck that promotes the recruitment of WASP. These converge to regulate actin polymerisation, controlling the assembly of actin structures that are essential for the process of phagocytosis.

Abstract
Phagocytosis is a receptor-mediated process by which specialized cell types engulf large extracellular particles. Phagosome maturation involves a series of intracellular membrane fusion and budding events resulting in the delivery of particles to compartments enriched in lysosomal hydrolases where they are digested. Substantial amounts of plasma membrane and many phagosomal proteins, such as receptors, rapidly recycle to the plasma membrane following phagosome formation. Despite the importance of this recycling pathway in phagosome maturation and in the retrieval of immunogenic peptides from phagosomes, the molecular machinery involved is largely unknown. To assess the participation of GTPases in phagocytosis and recycling from phagosomes we used aluminum fluoride (AIF(-)(4)), which activates the GDP-bound form of stimulatory and inhibitory trimeric G proteins. AlF(-)(4) inhibited both the uptake to and the recycling from the phagosomal compartment. Cholera toxin, which activates Galphas, and pertussis toxin, which uncouples Gi and Go from receptors, were effective inhibitors of phagocytosis. However, both toxins stimulated recycling from phagosomes. These results suggest that more than one GTP-binding protein participates either directly or indirectly not only in phagocytosis, but also in maturation and recycling from phagosomes, and thereby assign a role for heterotrimeric G proteins in controlling traffic through the phagocytic pathway.

Abstract
Annexins are a family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins, which have been implicated in a variety of biological processes including membrane trafficking. The annexin 6/lgp120 prelysosomal compartment of NRK cells was loaded with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and then its transport from this endocytic compartment and its degradation in lysosomes were studied. NRK cells were microinjected with the mutated annexin 6 (anx6(1-175)), to assess the possible involvement of annexin 6 in the transport of LDL from the prelysosomal compartment. The results indicated that microinjection of mutated annexin 6, in NRK cells, showed the accumulation of LDL in larger endocytic structures, denoting retention of LDL in the prelysosomal compartment. To confirm the involvement of annexin 6 in the trafficking and the degradation of LDL we used CHO cells transfected with mutated annexin 6(1-175). Thus, in agreement with NRK cells the results obtained in CHO cells demonstrated a significant inhibition of LDL degradation in CHO cells expressing the mutated form of annexin 6 compared to controls overexpressing wild-type annexin 6. Therefore, we conclude that annexin 6 is involved in the trafficking events leading to LDL degradation.

Abstract
We established a light microscopy-based assay that reconstitutes the binding of phagosomes purified from mouse macrophages to preassembled F-actin in vitro. Both endogenous myosin Va from mouse macrophages and exogenous myosin Va from chicken brain stimulated the phagosome-F-actin interaction. Myosin Va association with phagosomes correlated with their ability to bind F-actin in an ATP-regulated manner and antibodies to myosin Va specifically blocked the ATP-sensitive phagosome binding to F-actin. The uptake and retrograde transport of phagosomes from the periphery to the center of cells in bone marrow macrophages was observed in both normal mice and mice homozygous for the dilute-lethal spontaneous mutation (myosin Va null). However, in dilute-lethal macrophages the accumulation of phagosomes in the perinuclear region occurred twofold faster than in normal macrophages. Motion analysis revealed saltatory phagosome movement with temporarily reversed direction in normal macrophages, whereas almost no reversals in direction were observed in dilute-lethal macrophages. These observations demonstrate that myosin Va mediates phagosome binding to F-actin, resulting in a delay in microtubule-dependent retrograde phagosome movement toward the cell center. We propose an "antagonistic/cooperative mechanism" to explain the saltatory phagosome movement toward the cell center in normal macrophages.

Abstract
After uptake by host cells, the pathogen Brucella transits through early endosomes, evades phago-lysosome fusion and replicates in a compartment associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The molecular mechanisms underlying these processes are still poorly understood. To identify new bacterial factors involved in these processes, a library of 1800 Brucella melitensis 16M mini-Tn5catkm mutants was screened for intracellular survival and multiplication in HeLa cells and J774A.1 macrophages. Thirteen mutants were identified as defective for their intracellular survival in both cell types. In 12 of them, the transposon had inserted in the virB operon, which encodes a type IV-related secretion system. The preponderance of virB mutants demonstrates the importance of this secretion apparatus in the intracellular multiplication of B. melitensis. We also examined the intracellular fate of three virB mutants (virB2, virB4 and virB9) in HeLa cells by immunofluorescence. The three VirB proteins are not necessary for penetration and the inhibition of phago-lysosomal fusion within non-professional phagocytes. Rather, the virB mutants are unable to reach the replicative niche and reside in a membrane-bound vacuole expressing the late endosomal marker, LAMP1, and the sec61beta protein from the ER membrane, proteins that are present in autophagic vesicles originating from the ER.

Abstract
Flotillin-1 was recently shown to be enriched on detergent-resistant domains of the plasma membrane called lipid rafts. These rafts, enriched in sphingolipids and cholesterol, sequester certain proteins while excluding others. Lipid rafts have been implicated in numerous cellular processes including signal transduction, membrane trafficking, and molecular sorting. In this study, we demonstrate both morphologically and biochemically that lipid rafts are present on phagosomes. These structures are enriched in flotillin-1 and devoid of the main phagosomes membrane protein lysosomal-associated membrane protein (LAMP1). The flotillin-1 present on phagosomes does not originate from the plasma membrane during phagocytosis but accumulates gradually on maturing phagosomes. Treatment with bafilomycin A1, a compound that inhibits the proton pump ATPase and prevents the fusion of phagosomes with late endocytic organelles, prevents the acquisition of flotillin-1 by phagosomes, indicating that this protein might be recruited on phagosomes from endosomal organelles. A proteomic characterization of the lipid rafts of phagosomes indicates that actin, the alpha- and beta-subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins, as well as subunits of the proton pump V-ATPase are among the constituents of these domains. Remarkably, the intracellular parasite Leishmania donovani can actively inhibit the acquisition of flotillin-1-enriched lipid rafts by phagosomes and the maturation of these organelles. These results indicate that specialized functions required for phagolysosome biogenesis may occur at focal points on the phagosome membrane, and therefore represent a potential target of intracellular pathogens.

Abstract
Annexins are Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins composed of two domains: A conserved core that is responsible for Ca(2+)- and phospholipid-binding, and a variable N-terminal tail. A Ca(2+)-independent annexin 2-membrane association has been shown to be modulated by the presence of cholesterol in the membranes. Herein, the roles of the core and the N-terminal tail on the cholesterol-enhancement of annexin 2 membrane binding and aggregation were studied. The results show that (i) the cholesterol-mediated increase in membrane binding and in the Ca(2+) sensitivity for membrane aggregation were not modified by a N-terminal peptide (residues 15-26), and were conserved in mutants of the N-terminal end (S11 and S25 substitutions); (ii) cholesterol induced an increase in the Ca(2+)-dependent membrane binding and aggregation of the N-terminally truncated protein (Delta 1-29); and (iii) annexins 5 and 6, two proteins with unrelated N-terminal tails and homologous core domains showed a cholesterol-mediated enhancement of the Ca(2+)-dependent binding to membranes. These data indicate that the core domain is responsible for the cholesterol-mediated effects. A model for the cholesterol effect in membrane organisation, annexin binding and aggregation is discussed.

Abstract
The process of engulfing a foreign particle - phagocytosis - is of fundamental importance for a wide diversity of organisms. From simple unicellular organisms that use phagocytosis to obtain their next meal, to complex metazoans in which phagocytic cells represent an essential branch of the immune system, evolution has armed cells with a fantastic repertoire of molecules that serve to bring about this complex event. Regardless of the organism or specific molecules concerned, however, all phagocytic processes are driven by a finely controlled rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton. A variety of signals can converge to locally reorganise the actin cytoskeleton at a phagosome, and there are significant similarities and differences between different organisms and between different engulfment processes within the same organism. Recent advances have demonstrated the complexity of phagocytic signalling, such as the involvement of phosphoinostide lipids and multicomponent signalling complexes in transducing signals from phagocytic receptors to the cytoskeleton. Similarly, a wide diversity of ‘effector molecules’ are now implicated in actin-remodelling downstream of these receptors.

Abstract
The annexins are water soluble proteins possessing a hydrophilic surface, which belong to a family of proteins which (a) bind ('annex') both calcium and phospholipids, and (b) form voltage-dependent calcium channels within planar lipid bilayers. Annexins types are diverse (94 annexins in 45 species) and they belong to an enormous multigene family that ranges throughout all eukaryotic kingdoms. Although the structure of these proteins is now well known their functional and physiological roles remain largely unknown and circumstantial. Various experimental approaches provided evidence that annexins function as Ca(2+) channels that could act as regulators of membrane fusion. The identity of annexins is derived from the conserved 34 kDa C-terminal domain which comprises four repeats - except for annexin VI, with eight repeats - of a sequence of approximately seventy amino acids, which holds the area known as the 'endonexin fold', with its identifying GXGTDE. Annexins have been placed into three subgroups of (1) tetrad core and short amino terminal, (2) tetrad core and long amino terminal, and (3) octad core and short amino terminal. The repeats are highly conserved, each forming a compact alpha-helical domain comprising five alpha-helices wound in a right-handed superhelix. Four domains are formed, arranged in a nearly flat and cyclical array, with domains I and IV, and II and III respectively forming two tightly organised modules with almost twofold symmetry. A hydrophilic pore lies at the centre of the molecule, forming a prominent ion channel coated with charged and highly conserved residues. The annexin molecule is slightly curved, with both a convex and a concave face. The cation/anion permeability ratios and the selectivity sequence of the ion channels formed by several annexins confirm the selectivity of the annexins for Ca(2+) over other divalent cations, and reveals the importance of structural sites, e.g. amino acid positions 17, 78, 95 and 112 for the identification of the ion channel's position, function and regulation. Some are sensitive to low doses of the phenothiazine drugs, trifluoperazine (an anti-schizophrenia drug) and promethazine (anti nausea drug) La(3+) and Cd(2+), (blockers of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels) nifedipine (an inhibitor of non-activating Ca(2+) channels). There are two main competing models used to explain in vitro ion channel activity of annexins: one involves changes in the conductance of ion via electrostatic disturbance of the membrane surface; the other involves a much more extensive alteration in protein structure and a correspondingly deeper penetration into the membrane.

Abstract
Genetic evidence demonstrates the importance of plasminogen activation in the migration of macrophages to sites of injury and inflammation, their removal of necrotic debris, and their clearance of fibrin. These studies identified the plasminogen binding protein annexin II on the surface of macrophages and determined its role in their ability to degrade and migrate through extracellular matrices. Calcium-dependent binding of annexin II to RAW264.7 macrophages was shown using flow cytometry and Western blot analysis of EGTA eluates. Ligand blots demonstrated that annexin II comigrates with one of several proteins in lysates and membranes derived from RAW264.7 macrophages that bind plasminogen. Preincubation of RAW264.7 macrophages with monoclonal anti-annexin II IgG inhibited (35%) their binding of 125I-Lys-plasminogen. Likewise, plasmin binding to human monocyte-derived macrophages and THP-1 monocytes was inhibited (50% and 35%, respectively) when cells were preincubated with anti-annexin II IgG. Inhibition of plasminogen binding to annexin II on RAW264.7 macrophages significantly impaired their ability to activate plasminogen and degrade [3H]-glucosamine-labeled extracellular matrices. The migration of THP-1 monocytes through a porous membrane, in response to monocyte chemotactic protein-1, was blocked when the membranes were coated with extracellular matrix. The addition of plasminogen to the monocytes restored their ability to migrate through the matrix-coated membrane. Preincubation of THP-1 monocytes with anti-annexin II IgG inhibited (60%) their plasminogen-dependent chemotaxis through the extracellular matrix. These studies identify annexin II as a plasminogen binding site on macrophages and indicate an important role for annexin II in their invasive and degradative phenotype.

Abstract
Phagosomes are key organelles for the innate ability of macrophages to participate in tissue remodeling, clear apoptotic cells, and restrict the spread of intracellular pathogens. To understand the functions of phagosomes, we initiated the systematic identification of their proteins. Using a proteomic approach, we identified >140 proteins associated with latex bead-containing phagosomes. Among these were hydrolases, proton pump ATPase subunits, and proteins of the fusion machinery, validating our approach. A series of unexpected proteins not previously described along the endocytic/phagocytic pathways were also identified, including the apoptotic proteins galectin3, Alix, and TRAIL, the anti-apoptotic protein 14-3-3, the lipid raft-enriched flotillin-1, the anti-microbial molecule lactadherin, and the small GTPase rab14. In addition, 24 spots from which the peptide masses could not be matched to entries in any database potentially represent new phagosomal proteins. The elaboration of a two-dimensional gel database of >160 identified spots allowed us to analyze how phagosome composition is modulated during phagolysosome biogenesis. Remarkably, during this process, hydrolases are not delivered in bulk to phagosomes, but are instead acquired sequentially. The systematic characterization of phagosome proteins provided new insights into phagosome functions and the protein or groups of proteins involved in and regulating these functions.

Abstract
We recently established an in vitro assay that monitors the fusion between latex-bead phagosomes and endocytic organelles in the presence of J774 macrophage cytosol (). Here, we show that different reagents affecting the actin cytoskeleton can either inhibit or stimulate this fusion process. Because the membranes of purified phagosomes can assemble F-actin de novo from pure actin with ATP (), we focused here on the ability of membranes to nucleate actin in the presence of J774 cytosolic extracts. For this, we used F-actin sedimentation, pyrene actin assays, and torsional rheometry, a biophysical approach that could provide kinetic information on actin polymerization and gel formation. We make two major conclusions. First, under our standard in vitro conditions (4 mg/ml cytosol and 1 mM ATP), the presence of membranes actively catalyzed the assembly of cytosolic F-actin, which assembled into highly viscoelastic gels. A model is discussed that links these results to how the actin may facilitate fusion. Second, cytosolic actin paradoxically polymerized more under ATP depletion than under high-ATP conditions, even in the absence of membranes; we discuss these data in the context of the well described, large increases in F-actin seen in many cells during ischemia.

Abstract
Cytoplasmic dyneins and their cofactor, dynactin, work together to mediate the movement of numerous cargo organelles toward the minus-ends of microtubules. In many cases, there is compelling evidence that dynactin functions in part to attach dyneins to cargo organelles, but this may not always be the case. We have localized three dynactin subunits (Arp1, p62 and p150(Glued)) and two subunits of conventional cytoplasmic dynein (dynein intermediate chain and dynein heavy chain 1) in murine macrophages using immunogold labeling of thawed cryosections. Using stereological techniques, we have quantified the relative distributions of each of these subunits on specific membrane organelles to generate a comprehensive analysis of the distribution of these proteins in a single cell type. Our results show that each of the subunits tested exhibits the same distribution with respect to different membrane organelles, with highest levels present on early endosomes, and lower levels present on later endocytic organelles, the mitochondrial outer membrane, the plasma membrane and vesicles in the Golgi region. An additional pool of punctate dynactin labeling was detected in the cell periphery, in the absence of dynein labeling. Even when examined closely, membrane organelles could not be detected in association with these dynactin-positive sites; however, double labeling with anti-tubulin antibody revealed that at least some of these sites represent the ends of microtubules. The similarities among the labeling profiles with respect to membrane organelles suggest that dynein and dynactin bind to membrane organelles as an obligate unit. In contrast, our results show that dynactin can associate with microtubule ends in the absence of dynein, perhaps providing sites for subsequent organelle and dynein association to form a functional motility complex.

Abstract
Bordetella pertussis is readily killed after uptake by professional phagocytes, whereas its close relative Bordetella bronchiseptica is not and can persist intracellularly for days. Phagocytosis of members of either species by a mouse macrophage cell line results in transport of the bacteria to a phagosomal compartment positive for the lysosome-associated membrane protein 1, the protease cathepsin D, and the late endosomal vacuolar proton-pumping ATPase but negative for the early endosome antigen 1 and the early endosomal transferrin receptor. In addition, we demonstrate that Bordetella-containing phagosomes rapidly acidify to pH 4.5 to 5.0. Taken together, these data demonstrate that Bordetella-containing phagosomes rapidly mature to an acidic late endosomal/lysosomal compartment. Following up on this observation, we determined that B. pertussis does not survive in bacterial growth media adjusted to a pH of 4.5, whereas this pH has only minor effects on the growth of B. bronchiseptica. Raising the intracellular pH in infected macrophages by the addition of bafilomycin A(1), ammonium chloride, or monensin increases the survival of acid-sensitive B. pertussis but, surprisingly, decreases that of acid-tolerant B. bronchiseptica. In summary, we hypothesize that the differential survival of B. pertussis and B. bronchiseptica in macrophages is, at least in part, due to the differences in their acid tolerance.

Abstract
Intracellular collagen degradation by fibroblasts is an important but poorly understood pathway for the physiological remodeling of mature connective tissues. The objective of this study was to determine whether gingival fibroblasts that express endogenous alpha(2)beta(1) integrin, the collagen receptor, would exhibit the cellular machinery required for phagosomal maturation and collagen degradation. There was a time-dependent increase of collagen bead internalization and a time-dependent decrease of bead-associated alpha(2)beta(1) integrin after initial bead binding. beta-Actin and gelsolin associated transiently with beads (0-30 min) followed by LAMP-2 (60-240 min) and cathepsin B (30-240 min). Cytochalasin D prevented phagosome formation and also prevented the sequential fusion of early endosomes with lysosomes. Collagen bead-associated pH was progressively reduced from 7.25 to 5.4, which was contemporaneous with progressive increases in degradation of bead-associated collagen (30-120 min). Concanamycin blocked acidification of phagolysosomes and collagen degradation but not phagosome maturation. Phagosomal acidification was partly dependent on elevated intracellular calcium. These studies demonstrate that the cellular machinery required for intracellular collagen degradation in fibroblasts closely resembles the vacuolar system in macrophages.

Abstract
Phagosomes containing live virulent mycobacteria undergo fusion with early endosomes, but they are unable to mature normally. Accordingly, they do not fuse with lysosomes. Although M. avium-containing phagosomes retain fusion and intermingling characteristics of early endosomes indefinitely, fusions with early endosomes are increasingly restricted as bacteria multiply. In addition, when endocytic tracers, such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP), are added to M. avium-infected macrophages at 1 or up to 15 days after infection, an atypical time course of acquisition of the tracer by the phagosomes is observed, i.e., a 10 to 20 min lag, instead of immediate acquisition as is typical for early endosomes (and phagosomes with early endosome characteristics). These events coincide with a marked disorganization of the actin filament network in M. avium-infected macrophages. In the present study, we have therefore addressed the following question: Do actin filaments play a role in fusion and intermingling of contents between early endosomes and immature phagosomes that undergo homotypic fusion with early endosomes? We examined the time course of acquisition of subsequently internalized endocytic marker (HRP) by early endosome-like preexisting phagosomes, i.e. 2 hour-old phagosomes with either hydrophobic latex particles, virulent or avirulent M. avium, after depolymerization of the actin filament network with cytochalasin D or after repolymerization of the actin filament network with jasplakinolide, in cases where the network had been depolymerized (macrophages infected with M. avium, at 1 or up to 7 days after infection). By direct morphological observation at the electron microscope level and by a kinetic approach, we show here that depolymerization of the actin filament network with cytochalasin D delays acquisition of HRP whereas repolymerization restores immediate acquisition of the marker. We conclude that the actin filament network is involved in fusion and intermingling of endocytic contents between early endosomes and early endosome-like phagosomes, and that disruption of this network by M. avium is the cause for the atypical acquisition of content marker by phagosomes containing these pathogenic mycobacteria.

Abstract
Phagolysosome biogenesis is essential for the killing and degradation of intracellular pathogens. It involves the fusion of phagosomes with various endocytic organelles, a process known to be regulated in part by Rab proteins. We generated RAW 264.7 macrophages expressing an active mutant of Rab5 (Rab5(Q79L)) to determine the role of Rab5 in phagocytosis and phagolysosome biogenesis. Our results indicate that Rab5 stimulates phagocytosis of latex beads but not Fc or C3 receptor-mediated phagocytosis. Rab5 also acts to restrict the complete fusion of phagosomes with endosomes, a phenomenon allowing exchange of solutes from the two compartments without complete intermixing of their membrane (kiss and run). In Rab5(Q79L)-expressing macrophages, uncontrolled fusion events occurred, leading to the appearance of giant phagosomes. These phagosomes could initiate their maturation and acquire LAMP1, but failed to generate the microbicidal conditions needed to kill intracellular parasites. These results identify Rab5 as a key molecule regulating phagosome-endosome fusion and as an essential component in the innate ability of macrophages to restrict the growth of intracellular parasites.

Abstract
Brucella abortus is a facultative intracellular parasite that promotes its own internalization in nonphagocytic cells. The bacterium initially interacts with compartments of the early endocytic cascade, then rapidly segregates from this intracellular pathway and associates with the autophagocytic cascade. During the late stages of infection, Brucella proliferates within the endoplasmic reticulum of host cells.

Abstract
Phagosomes mature by sequentially fusing with endosomes and lysosomes. Vesicle budding is presumed to occur concomitantly, mediating the retrieval of plasmalemmal components and the regulation of phagosomal size. We analyzed whether fission of vesicles from phagosomes requires COPI, a multimeric complex known to be involved in budding from the Golgi and endosomes. The role of COPI was studied using ldlF cells, that harbor a temperature-sensitive mutation in epsilon-COP, a subunit of the coatomer complex. These cells were made phagocytic toward IgG-opsonized particles by heterologous expression of human FcgammaRIIA receptors. Following incubation at the restrictive temperature, epsilon-COP was degraded in these cells and their Golgi complex dispersed. Nevertheless, phagocytosis persisted for hours in cells devoid of epsilon-COP. Retrieval of transferrin receptors from phagosomes became inefficient in the absence of epsilon-COP, while clearance of the FcgammaRIIA receptors was unaffected. This indicates that fission of vesicles from the phagosomal membrane involves at least two mechanisms, one of which requires intact COPI. Traffic of fluid-phase markers and aggregated IgG-receptor complexes along the endocytic pathway was abnormal in epsilon-COP-deficient cells. In contrast, phagosome fusion with endosomes and lysosomes was unimpaired. Moreover, the resulting phagolysosomes were highly acidic. Similar results were obtained in RAW264.7 macrophages treated with brefeldin A, which precludes COPI assembly by interfering with the activation of adenosine ribosylation factor. These data indicate that neither phagosome formation nor maturation are absolutely dependent on COPI. Our findings imply that phagosomal maturation differs from endosomal progression, which appears to be more dependent on COPI-mediated formation of carrier vesicles.

Abstract
We investigated the intracellular route of Salmonella in macrophages to determine a plausible mechanism for their survival in phagocytes. Western blot analysis of isolated phagosomes using specific antibodies revealed that by 5 min after internalization dead Salmonella-containing phagosomes acquire transferrin receptors (a marker for early endosomes), whereas by 30 min the dead bacteria are found in vesicles carrying the late endosomal markers cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate receptors, Rab7 and Rab9. In contrast, live Salmonella-containing phagosomes (LSP) retain a significant amount of Rab5 and transferrin receptor until 30 min, selectively deplete Rab7 and Rab9, and never acquire mannose 6-phosphate receptors even 90 min after internalization. Retention of Rab5 and Rab18 and selective depletion of Rab7 and Rab9 presumably enable the LSP to avoid transport to lysosomes through late endosomes. The presence of immature cathepsin D (48 kDa) and selective depletion of the vacuolar ATPase in LSP presumably contributes to the less acidic pH of LSP. In contrast, proteolytically processed cathepsin D (M(r) 17,000) was detected by 30 min on the dead Salmonella-containing phagosomes. Morphological analysis also revealed that after uptake by macrophages, the dead Salmonella are transported to lysosomes, whereas the live bacteria persist in compartments that avoid fusion with lysosomes, indicating that live Salmonella bypass the normal endocytic route targeted to lysosomes and mature in a specialized compartment.

Abstract
Annexin VI is an abundant calcium- and phospholipid-binding protein whose intracellular distribution and function are still controversial. Using a highly specific antibody, we have studied the distribution of annexin VI in NRK fibroblasts and the polarized hepatic cell line WIF-B by confocal microscopy. In NRK cells, annexin VI was almost exclusively found associated with endocytic compartments, which were defined by their ability to receive fluid-phase marker internalized from the cell surface. However, extensive colocalization of annexin VI and the endocytic marker was only observed after about 45 min, indicating that annexin VI was primarily in late endocytic compartments or (pre)lysosomes. Consistent with this, annexin VI was predominantly seen on structures that contained the lysosomal protein lgp120, although not on dense core lysosomes by electron microscopy. Two major populations of annexin VI-containing structures were present in polarized WIF-B hepatocytes. One correlated to lgp120-positive (pre)lysosomes and was still observed after treatment with brefeldin A (BFA), while the other appeared to be partially associated with Golgi membranes and was BFA-sensitive. The striking association with prelysosomal compartments in NRK and WIF-B cells suggests that annexin VI could play a role in fusion events in the late endocytic pathway, possibly by acting as a tether between membranes.

Abstract
Phagosomes with pathogenic mycobacteria retain fusion and intermingling characteristics of early endosomes indefinitely. The time course of acquisition of newly endocytosed tracers becomes, however, atypical (lag instead of immediate acquisition) starting from day 1 postinfection (p.i.), thereby suggesting that additional factors affect this process. Disruption of the actin filament (F-actin) network by cytochalasin D perturbs the movement of early endosomes and probably fusion events among early endosomes and phagosomes. Here we compare, by immunofluorescence microscopy, the morphology and distribution of F-actin in macrophages infected with virulent Mycobacterium avium, in uninfected macrophages, or in macrophages after phagocytosis of nonpathogenic bacteria (Mycobacterium smegmatis or Bacillus subtilis) or hydrophobic latex particles. In uninfected cells, F-actin appeared as a network of small filaments distributed throughout the cell; about 80% of the cells also displayed one or two small patches of F-actin at the cell periphery. Virulent M. avium caused a marked disorganization of the F-actin network starting from day 1 p.i. The most salient features were the formation of several large patches, the progressive disappearance of the small filaments, and the appearance of large numbers of tiny punctate structures starting from day 2 p.i. With the three other particles, the F-actin network was unmodified compared to that in uninfected cells. The atypical lag in acquisition of newly endocytosed tracers by M. avium-containing phagosomes, therefore, seems to coincide with the disorganization of the F-actin network.

Abstract
Proteomic research, for its part, is benefiting enormously from the last decade of genomic research as we now have archived, annotated and audited sequence databases to correlate and query experimental data. While the two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) gels are still a central part of proteomics, we reflect on the possibilities and realities of the current 2-DE technology with regard to displaying and analysing proteomes. Limitations of analysing whole cell/tissue lysates by 2-DE alone are discussed, and we investigate whether extremely narrow p/ranges (1 pH unit/25 cm) provide a solution to display comprehensive protein expression profiles. We are confronted with a challenging task: the dynamic range of protein expression. We believe that most of the existing technology is capable of displaying many more proteins than is currently achievable by integrating existing and new techniques to prefractionate samples prior to 2-DE display or analysis. The availability of a "proteomics toolbox", consisting of defined reagents, methods, and equipment, would assist a comprehensive analysis of defined biological systems.
