Abstract
Tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) is a 75 kDa type-1 transmembrane glycoprotein localized to the melanosome. The mechanism by which newly synthesized TRP-1 reaches its ultimate destination is currently unknown, but has been speculated to occur via the endosomal pathway. Recently, it has been shown that phosphatidylinositide (PI) 3-kinase is involved in various cellular functions, including regulating the constitutive movement of proteins from one intracellular compartment to another; however, whether PI 3-kinase participates in the trafficking of proteins such as TRP-1 to the melanosome is unknown. In this study we investigate the role of PI 3-kinase on the trafficking of TRP-1 in human melanoma MeWo cells using wortmannin, a potent inhibitor of PI 3-kinase. Our investigations demonstrate that wortmannin interferes with the membrane trafficking of TRP-1 in MeWo cells, and that it specifically results in the redistribution of the protein within a novel vesicular compartment with characteristics of the endosomal and lysosomal compartments [positive for LAMP-1, and partially positive for CD63 and cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptors (CI-M6PR)], and is accessible to internalized proteins such as immunoglobulins. Movement within this novel compartment is microtubule and GTPase dependent. These findings have led us to postulate that TRP-1 is sorted from the trans-Golgi network to a compartment in the vicinity of late endosomes, trafficking from which to the melanosome appears to be dependent on PI 3-kinase as it is blocked by wortmannin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Given the observations that intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) can present antigens to CD4(+) T lymphocytes and that professional antigen-presenting cells secrete exosomes (antigen-presenting vesicles), we hypothesized that IECs may secrete exosomes carrying molecules implicated in antigen presentation, which may be able to cross the basement membrane and convey immune information to noncontiguous immune cells. METHODS Human IEC lines HT29-19A and T84-DRB1*0401/CIITA were grown on microporous filters. Release of exosomes under basal or inflammatory conditions was evaluated in conditioned apical and basolateral media after differential ultracentrifugations. Morphologic and biochemical characterization of exosomes was performed using immunoelectron microscopy, Western blotting, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS The intestinal cell lines released 30-90-nm-diameter vesicles from the apical and basolateral sides, and this release was significantly increased in the presence of interferon gamma. MHC class I, MHC class II, CD63, CD26/dipeptidyl-peptidase IV, and A33 antigen were present in epithelial-derived exosomes. CONCLUSIONS; Human IEC lines secrete exosomes bearing accessory molecules that may be involved in antigen presentation. These data are consistent with a model in which IECs may influence antigen presentation in the mucosal or systemic immune system independent of direct cellular contact with effector cells.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a role in the distribution of lipid within many organs and cell types in the human body, including neurons and astrocytes of the central nervous system (CNS). The apoE4 isoform is also a genetic risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the mechanism by which apoE is involved in AD is largely unknown. In order to understand how apoE is involved in the distribution of lipid in the CNS, we sought to investigate not only the origin of intraneuronal apoE, but the pathway by which it is processed once synthesized. We have established that human neurons can synthesize apoE in the presence of astrocytes, and that intracellular neuronal apoE is processed through the rough endoplasmic reticulum, golgi, and CD63-positive lysosomes where it may be stored before secretion. Our results also suggest that apoE synthesis is regulated by a feedback mechanism, controlled by the neuron itself. This regulatory mechanism may be essential to the maintenance of neuronal cholesterol concentrations and in turn membrane stability.

Abstract
Antigen expression in melanoma is heterogeneous. Immunophenotyping using a panel of monoclonal antibodies may facilitate immunotherapy. An immunoblot procedure was developed to detect antigens in melanoma cells. Numerous monoclonal antibodies were tested to determine if (1) antigens were detected after transfer to membranes, (2) single bands or discrete multiple bands were obtained, (3) co-incubation of multiple monoclonal antibodies had no interference, and (4) banding patterns were non-overlapping. Antigens were selected based upon their association with melanoma and the availability of respective monoclonal antibodies. Antigens were melanoma antigen recognized by T-cells (MART-1), tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP-1), S100, vimentin, glycoprotein 130 (gp130), a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-like marker, KBA-62 and NKI-C3. Actin positive controls could be assessed simultaneously. Test samples were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in a 4-15% polyacrylamide gradient, transferred to polyvinylidine fluoride membrane, blotted using a Fast-Blot apparatus (Pierce), and developed using diaminobenzidine/metal. Melanoma cell lines were immunophenotyped using this panel immunoblot, and were compared to a standard control and to non-melanoma cells. Up to four antigens could be detected simultaneously in a single lane of the immunoblot, using a single test sample of greater than 100000 cells.

Abstract
The macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) has been already shown to affect the function of dendritic cells (DC). Therefore, the differentiation of dendritic cells into macrophages (M(PHI)) might represent a pathway which could inhibit the immune response initiated by DC. Because Major Histocompatibility Complex class II molecules (MHC-II) are crucial for DC function, we asked whether M-CSF may influence the intracellular transport of MHC-II in monocyte derived DC. We found that, at early stages, M-CSF induced first a rapid redistribution of MHC-II from the MHC-II containing compartments (MIIC) to the plasma membrane and second an increase in MHC-II synthesis as observed with LPS or TNF-(alpha). These processes were associated with the sorting of MHC-II from lysosomal membranes which underwent a drastic structural reorganization. However, in contrast to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-(alpha) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), M-CSF neither potentiated the allostimulatory function of DC nor allowed the stabilization of MHC-II at the cell surface, but rather increased MHC-II turnover. We conclude that the rapid modulation of MHC-II transport and distribution may participate in the inhibitory effect of M-CSF on DC function and differentiation.

Abstract
MLN64 is a transmembrane protein that shares homology with the cholesterol binding domain (START domain) of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein. The steroidogenic acute regulatory protein is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria, where it facilitates cholesterol import into the mitochondria. Crystallographic analysis showed that the START domain of MLN64 is a cholesterol-binding domain. The present work was undertaken to determine which step of the intracellular cholesterol pathway MLN64 participates in. Using immunocytofluorescence, MLN64 colocalizes with LBPA, a lipid found specifically in late endosomes. Electron microscopy indicates that MLN64 is restricted to the limiting membrane of late endosomes. Microinjection or endocytosis of specific antibodies shows that the START domain of MLN64 is cytoplasmic. Deletion and mutagenesis experiments demonstrate that the amino-terminal part of MLN64 is responsible for its addressing. Although this domain does not contain conventional dileucine- or tyrosine-based targeting signals, we show that a dileucine motif (Leu(66)-Leu(67)) and a tyrosine residue (Tyr(89)) are critical for the targeting or the proper folding of the molecule. Finally, MLN64 colocalizes with cholesterol and Niemann Pick C1 protein in late endosomes. However, complementation assays show that MLN64 is not involved in the Niemann Pick C2 disease which, results in cholesterol lysosomal accumulation. Together, our results show that MLN64 plays a role at the surface of the late endosomes, where it might shuttle cholesterol from the limiting membrane to cytoplasmic acceptor(s).

Abstract
The association of the E4 isoform of apolipoprotein E (apoE) as a genetic risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been well established. Central nervous system (CNS) neurons are specifically affected so that defining the mechanisms by which two of the major human apoE isoforms act within CNS neurons is important to our understanding of their effect on neuronal maintenance and function. We have developed a cell culture model using human brain tissue to characterize exogenous apoE transport. We have tracked the association of apoE3 and E4 with CD63, the GTP-binding protein rab5a and the acidic hydrolase cathepsin D, which localize lysosomes, early endosomes, and late endosomes/lysosomes, respectively. Double immunostaining and confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed by z-series that after 30 min most intraneuronal apoE colocalized with rab5a, whereas no astrocyte apoE/rab5a colocalization was detected. Conversely, apoE3 and CD63 did not colocalize in neurons, even after 1 h, but was colocalized in astrocytes. Also, there was approximately 9% apoE3 colocalization with cathepsin D in neurons, whereas up to 87% of apoE4 vesicles were colocalized. In astrocytes, the proportion of apoE3 colocalized with cathepsin D was greater than that in neurons, but still significantly different from that found with apoE4. These immunohistological data demonstrate that, in neurons, apoE can be endocytosed via a rab5a-regulated vesicle-mediated pathway and that beyond this stage there may be isoform specific differences in apoE trafficking present in both neurons and astrocytes.

Abstract
Hck, a protein-tyrosine kinase of phagocytes, is the unique member of the Src family expressed under two alternatively translated isoforms differing in their N-terminal site of acylation: p61(Hck) has an additional 21-amino acid sequence comprising a single myristoylation motif, whereas p59(Hck) N terminus has myristoylation and palmitoylation sites. To identify the molecular determinants involved in the targeting of each isoform, they were fused to GFP and expressed in HeLa and CHO cells. p61(Hck) was associated with lysosomal vesicles, whereas p59(Hck) was found at the plasma membrane and to a low extent associated with lysosomes. Their unique N-terminal domains were sufficient to target GFP to the corresponding intracellular compartments. Mutation of the palmitoylation site of p59(Hck) redirected this isoform to lysosomes, indicating that the palmitoylation state governs the association of p59(Hck) with the plasma membrane or with lysosomes. In addition, both isoforms and the nonpalmitoylated p59(Hck) mutant were found on the Golgi apparatus, suggesting a role of this organelle in the subcellular sorting of Hck isoforms. Regarding their subcellular localizations, we propose that bi-acylated p59(Hck) might transduce plasma membrane receptor signals, whereas p61(Hck) and the nonpalmitoylated p59(Hck) might control the biogenesis of phagolysosomes, two functions yet proposed for Hck in phagocytes.

Abstract
CD9 and CD63 belong to a tetramembrane-spanning glycoprotein family called tetraspanin, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes, but the structure-function relationship of this family of proteins has yet to be clarified. CD9 associates with diphtheria toxin receptor (DTR), which is identical to the membrane-anchored form of heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (proHB-EGF). CD9 upregulates the diphtheria toxin (DT) binding activity of DTR/proHB-EGF, while CD63 does not upregulate the DT binding activity in spite of the fact that this protein also associates with DTR/proHB-EGF on the cell surface. CD9 molecules localize on the cell surface, while those of CD63 localize predominantly at lysosomes and intracellular compartments. We made CD9/CD63 chimeric molecules and then studied their intracellular localization and upregulation activities. The C-terminal regions of CD63, which includes the lysosome sorting motif, showed a strong inhibitory effect on the expression of the chimeric proteins at the cell surface, while mutants lacking the lysosome sorting motif delivered more efficiently on the cell surface, indicating that the lysosome sorting motif contributes to the inhibitory effect of the C-terminal region. However, the N-terminal half of this family of proteins containing the 1st to 3rd transmembrane domains also seems to influence the cell surface expression. For the upregulation of DT binding activity the large extracellular loop (EC2) of CD9 was essential, while the remaining regions influenced the upregulation activity by changing the efficiency of cell surface expression. From these results we discussed the structure-function relationship of this family of proteins.

Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, has been associated with hypercoagulability, but whether platelet activation is implicated is unknown. This study was designed to compare the in vivo platelet activation status between patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia and age- and sex-matched control subjects, and to evaluate the effects of triglyceride-lowering therapy. Sixteen patients with primary hypertriglyceridemia were included in a double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over trial with 400 mg bezafibrate once daily. Platelet activation was analysed by double label flow cytometry, using monoclonal antibodies against GP53, P-selectin, and platelet-bound fibrinogen. Surface expression of the lysosomal membrane protein GP53 was significantly higher in the hypertriglyceridemic patients at baseline as compared to the group of age- and sex-matched controls (16.3+/-4.8% vs. 8.9+/-3.4%, respectively, P<0.001). No differences in the expression of P-selectin and fibrinogen binding were observed. In response to bezafibrate therapy, the expression of GP53 in the patient group decreased from 16.3+/-4.8% to 13.1+/-4.1% (P=0.018). The expression of P-selectin and fibrinogen binding was not affected by bezafibrate therapy. In conclusion, patients with hypertriglyceridemia have an increased in vivo platelet activation status, which can be improved by bezafibrate therapy.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation is an important post-translational modification of proteins, essential in many aspects of the cell economy, particularly in signal transduction pathways. Despite the importance of protein tyrosine phosphorylation, the approaches available for molecular cloning remain limited. We have developed a COS cell-based eukaryotic expression cloning procedure for phosphotyrosine-containing proteins by immunocytochemistry of cell monolayers. The approach takes advantage of the low basal levels of tyrosine phosphorylated, robust transient expression, availability of specific antibodies against tyrosine-phosphorylated residues, and rescue of episomal DNA after immunocytochemistry. The technique is validated by cloning the rat proto-oncogene c-fgr in its tyrosine-phosphorylated form out of a rat kidney cDNA library containing over 10(6) primary recombinants. This technique set the grounds for expression cloning of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins in eukaryotic cells, and it is anticipated that further modifications and refinements will allow the identification of protein tyrosine phosphatase substrates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Potent allergens such as hymenoptera venoms are capable of inducing severe and life threatening clinical reactions. Percentage of false negative results obtained by the usual diagnostical methods is comprised between 10 and 25%. OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the sensitivity and the specificity of cellular tests and particularly evaluation of a new flow cytometric method. METHODS Forty-five allergic patients having experienced a local, a systemic reaction or an anaphylactic shock and 10 controls having undergone hymenoptera stings without clinical reactions were selected on the basis of the clinical history, skin tests and specific IgE. Three cellular tests were performed on the same cell suspensions and in the presence of 2 ng/mL of rIL3: histamine release (RIA), leukotriene C4 release (ELISA) and basophil activation test (flow cytometry after double anti-IgE FITC, anti-CD63 PE labelling). RESULTS As compared to the clinical history, sensitivities of skin tests, specific IgE, flow cytometry, histamine release and leukotriene release were, respectively; 85%, 88%, 100%, 89% and 100%. Flow cytometric analysis of basophil activation showed a significant decrease of the mean fluorescence density and number of IgE positive cells and a significant increase of the number of CD63 positive cells. The 10 controls tested by flow cytometry were negative. CONCLUSION As compared to the clinical history and to the other parameters tested here, flow cytometry showed a high sensitivity and a high specificity. The excellent correlation observed between this method and the other cellular tests such as histamine and leukotriene release are in favour of the specificity of flow cytomery and in favour of the use of this method for venom allergy diagnosis.

Abstract
We designed a model system to study the role of von Willebrand factor (vWF) in the sorting of P-selectin and the biogenesis of Weibel-Palade body (WPB)-like organelles. For that purpose, a human epithelial cell line (T24) that synthesizes P-selectin mRNA, but which is devoid of vWF mRNA synthesis and storage organelles, was transfected with full-length vWF cDNA or a deletion mutant thereof. Stable transfectants of T24 with full-length vWF cDNA revealed the generation of WPB-like organelles as demonstrated by colocalization of vWF and P-selectin with double-labeling immunofluorescence. In contrast, T24 cells transfected with vWF delD'D3 cDNA, encoding a mutant that is unable to form vWF multimers, displayed only perinuclear vWF staining, whereas no indication was found for the presence of WPB-like organelles. The contents of the organelles in full-length vWF cDNA-transfected T24 cells were released on activation of the protein kinase C pathway, similar to the situation with genuine endothelial cells. The expression of vWF did not affect the biosynthesis of P-selectin, as deduced from the observation that untransfected and vWF cDNA-transfected T24 cells contained the same amount of P-selectin mRNA. We propose that the biosynthesis of multimeric vWF directs the generation of WPB-like organelles, as evidenced by the sequestering and anchoring of P-selectin into these storage granules.

Abstract
We have described previously that beta1 integrins, which mediate keratinocyte cell adhesion and migration, are in ligand-occupied conformation at the basal surface but not at the lateral and apical surfaces of keratinocytes. This led us to study the cellular localization and function of tetraspanin molecules, which have been postulated to modulate integrin activity. We found that CD9 and CD81 are highly expressed by keratinocytes clearly delineating filopodia at lateral and apical surfaces. CD63 and CD151 are largely expressed in the intracellular compartment, although some membrane expression is observed. We found accumulation of CD9, CD81, and CD151 together with alpha3 and beta1 integrins at intercellular junctions. In low calcium medium, this intercellular space is crossed by a zipper of filopodia enriched in alpha3beta1 and tetraspanin proteins. Interestingly, the expression of CD9, CD81, and beta1 and alpha3 integrins was detected in the footprints and rippings of motile keratinocytes, suggesting their role in both adhesion to extracellular matrix and keratinocyte motility. beta1 integrins were only partially activated in the rips, whereas cytoskeleton-linking proteins such as talin were completely absent. On the other hand, antitetraspanin antibodies did not stain focal adhesions, which contain talin. The involvement of tetraspanins in keratinocyte motility was assessed in a wound healing migration assay. Inhibition of cell migration was observed with antibodies to CD9, CD81, beta1, and alpha3, and, to a lesser extent, to CD151. Together these results indicate that tetraspanin-integrin complexes might be involved in transient adhesion and integrin recycling during keratinocyte migration, as well as in intercellular recognition.

Abstract
In the present study, we show that in human endothelial cells the tetraspanin CD63/lamp3 distributes predominantly to the internal membranes of multivesicular-multilamellar late endosomes, which contain the unique lipid lysobisphosphatidic acid. Some CD63/lamp3 is also present in Weibel-Palade bodies, the characteristic secretory organelle of these cells. We find that CD63/lamp3 molecules can be transported from late endosomes to Weibel-Palade bodies and thus that CD63/lamp3 cycles between endocytic and biosynthetic compartments; however, movement of CD63/lamp3 is much slower than that of P-selectin, which is known to cycle between plasma membrane and Weibel-Palade bodies. When cells are treated with U18666A, a drug that mimics the Niemann-Pick type C syndrome, both proteins accumulate in late endosomes and fail to reach Weibel-Palade bodies efficiently, suggesting that P-selectin, like CD63/lamp3, cycles via late endosomes. Our data suggest that CD63/lamp3 partitions preferentially within late endosome internal membranes, thus causing its accumulation, and that this mechanism contributes to CD63/lamp3 retention in late endosomes; however, our data also indicate that the protein can eventually escape from these internal membranes and recycle toward Weibel-Palade bodies to be reused. Our observations thus uncover the existence of a selective trafficking route from late endosomes to Weibel-Palade bodies.

Abstract
CD63 antibody binding to the neutrophil surface triggers a transient activation signal that regulates the adhesive activity and surface expression of CD11/CD18. Gel permeation chromatography demonstrated that all of the cell surface CD11/CD18 associated with CD63 eluted in the void volume, indicating that they were present in large detergent-resistant complexes. In contrast, the majority of the total cellular CD63, CD11 and CD18, which are largely intracellular, was not present in complexes. The data suggest that intracellular CD11, CD18 and CD63 are not in detergent-resistant complexes, but enter such complexes following translocation to the cell surface.

Abstract
Neutrophilic granulocytes contain the 55 kDa bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI). BPI binds to lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and exerts bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects against a wide variety of Gram-negative bacterial species. We have investigated the subcellular location of BPI in immature and mature neutrophils using cryotechnique for immunoelectron microscopy. BPI was found to colocate with myeloperoxidase (MPO), a marker for azurophil granules, and it also showed the same pattern of distribution as CD63, a transmembrane-anchored protein. This suggests that BPI is membrane-associated in the azurophil granules in neutrophils. Its presence in azurophil granules was further confirmed by the finding of BPI in the azurophil granules of neutrophil promyelocytes of the bone marrow. Induction of selective release of azurophilic granules by the Na-ionophore monensin resulted in fusion of endosomes with azurophil granules, leading to the formation of large vacuoles containing MPO, CD63, and BPI. After phagocytosis of serum-treated zymosan (STZ), BPI was detected in phagosomes, both in association with membranes as well as in the lumen, suggesting the release of BPI into activated compartments. The results show that BPI is present in azurophil granules, is probably primarily membrane-associated, and is relocated after activation, following the same route as MPO and CD63.

Abstract
Tetraspanins belong to a rapidly growing family of proteins characterized by the presence of four conserved transmembrane segments and are involved in such diverse functions as cellular activation, adhesion, migration and differentiation. In an effort to develop reagents against newly discovered tetraspanins, we have devised a simple method for the screening of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) using recombinant GST fusion proteins. GST fusion proteins containing the second extracellular domain of different tetraspanins (CD9, CD63, CD53, CD81, A15 or CO-029) were produced separately. Mice were immunized with cells having a high expression of the chosen tetraspanin and the constructs were used to screen hybridomas in a solid phase ELISA. Several clones binding the fusion protein were identified for each construct tested: four anti-CD9 hybridoma clones, four anti-CD63, two anti-CD53, two anti-CD81, three anti-A15 and one anti-CO-029. All the newly developed mAbs recognized the native proteins by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining of cells and immunoprecipitation and bound to the denatured proteins on immunoblotting. Use of GST fusion protein constructs in a simple ELISA can facilitate screening for mAbs to members of the tetraspanin family, especially in cases where information is limited to the nucleotide sequence. The mAbs obtained by this strategy should prove to be valuable tools for functional studies of newly discovered tetraspanins.

Abstract
The interaction between fibrinogen and GPIIb-IIIa on stimulated platelets is multiphasic, progressing from reversible to irreversible ligand binding, associated with stabilization of platelet aggregates and clot retraction. Because fibrinogen binding to platelets has been linked to "outside-in" signaling events such as postreceptor occupancy protein tyrosine kinase and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase activation, this study examined intracellular signaling requirements involved in stabilizing 125I-fibrinogen binding to adenosine diphosphate-treated platelets with selective inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinase (herbimycin A) (10 micromol/L) and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (Wortmannin) (10 nmol/L) and metabolic inhibitors antimycin A (7.3 micromol/L) and 2 deoxyglucose (6 mmol/L). Preincubation of platelets with herbimycin A or Wortmannin inhibited fibrinogen binding by 80% to 92% and was accompanied by markedly decreased tyrosine phosphorylation of a range of proteins migrating between 60 kDa and 125 kDa. The addition of inhibitors 5 minutes after adenosine diphosphate-induced fibrinogen binding also resulted in decreased tyrosine phosphorylation and dissociation of approximately 50% of bound fibrinogen within 60 minutes but failed to cause dissociation of irreversibly bound fibrinogen. In contrast, platelet exposure to metabolic inhibitors 5 minutes or 60 minutes after fibrinogen binding resulted in complete, spontaneous fibrinogen dissociation. These data suggest that the maintenance of GPIIb-IIIa avidity supporting irreversible fibrinogen binding to intact platelets is not affected by inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinase or phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase but involves other energy-dependent pathways.

Abstract
Peptide YY (PYY) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) are peptides that coordinate intestinal activities in response to luminal and neuronal signals. In this study, using the rat hybrid small intestinal epithelial cell line, hBRIE 380i cells, we demonstrated that PYY- and NPY-induced rearrangement of actin filaments may be in part through a Y1alpha and/or a nonneuronal Y2 receptor, which were cloned from both the intestinal mucosa and the hBRIE 380i cells. A number of PYY/NPY-responsive genes were also identified by subtractive hybridization of the hBRIE 380i cells in the presence or absence of a 6-h treatment with PYY. Several of these genes coded for proteins associated with the cell cytoskeleton or extracellular matrix. One of these proteins was the transmembrane-4 superfamily protein CD63, previously shown to associate with beta(1)-integrin and implicated in cell adhesion. CD63 immunoreactivity, using antibody to the extracellular domain, was highest in the differentiated cell clusters of the hBRIE 380i cells. The hBRIE 380i cells transfected with antisense CD63 cDNA lost these differentiated clusters. These studies suggest a new role for NPY and PYY in modulating differentiation through cytoskeletal associated proteins.

Abstract
The advances that have been made over the last decade in microscopic, biochemical, molecular, and genetic techniques have led to substantial improvement in our understanding of platelet dense granule structure and function, and the implications of dense granule deficiencies for haemostasis. However, much has still to be learned. For example, what is the specific mechanism of docking and fusion that occurs during dense granule exocytosis? What are the roles of dense granule membrane proteins during exocytosis or after expression on the surface of activated platelets? Finally, how do the genetic defects identified in HPS and CHS result in the clinical phenotype of these diseases, and what does this tell us about the origin and function of the affected subcellular organelles?

Abstract
The Transmembrane 4 Superfamily member, PETA-3/CD151, is ubiquitously expressed by endothelial cells in vivo. In cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells PETA-3 is present on the plasma membrane and predominantly localises to regions of cell-cell contact. Additionally, this protein is abundant within an intracellular compartment which accounts for up to 66% of the total PETA-3 expressed. Intracellular PETA-3 showed colocalisation with transferrin receptor and CD63 suggesting an endosomal/lysosomal localisation which was supported by immuno-electronmicroscopy studies. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments investigating possible interactions of PETA-3 with other molecules demonstrated associations with several integrin chains including beta1, beta3, beta4, (alpha)2, (alpha)3, (alpha)5, (alpha)6 and provide the first report of Transmembrane 4 Superfamily association with the (alpha)6beta4 integrin. Using 2-colour confocal microscopy, we demonstrated similar localisation of PETA-3 and integrin chains within cytoplasmic vesicles and endothelial cell junctions. In order to assess the functional implications of PETA-3/integrin associations, the effect of anti-PETA-3 antibodies on endothelial function was examined. Anti-PETA-3 mAb inhibited endothelial cell migration and modulated in vitro angiogenesis, but had no detectable effect on neutrophil transendothelial migration. The broad range of integrin associations and the presence of PETA-3 with integrins both on the plasma membrane and within intracellular vesicles, suggests a primary role for PETA-3 in regulating integrin trafficking and/or function.

Abstract
The mannose receptor (MR) is involved in the phagocytosis of pathogenic microorganisms. Here we investigated its role in the bactericidal functions of human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), using (i) trimannoside-bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated latex beads and zymosan as particulate ligands of the MR, and (ii) mannan and mannose-BSA as soluble ligands. We show that phagocytosis of mannosylated latex beads did not elicit the production of O2-. Zymosan, which is composed of alpha-mannan and beta-glucan, was internalized by the MR and a beta-glucan receptor, but the production of O2- was triggered only by phagocytosis through the beta-glucan receptor. Activation and translocation of Hck, a Src family tyrosine kinase located on lysosomes, has previously been used as a marker of fusion between lysosomes and phagosomes in human neutrophils. In MDMs, Hck was activated and recruited to phagosomes containing zymosan later than LAMP-1 and CD63. Phagosomes containing mannosylated latex beads fused with LAMP-1 and CD63 vesicles but not with the Hck compartment, and the kinase was not activated. We also demonstrate that the MR was unable to distinguish between nonpathogenic and pathogenic mycobacteria, as they were internalized at similar rates by this receptor, indicating that this route of entry cannot be considered as a differential determinant of the intracellular fate of mycobacteria. In conclusion, MR-dependent phagocytosis is coupled neither to the activation of NADPH oxidase nor to the maturation of phagosomes until fusion with the Hck compartment and therefore constitutes a safe portal of entry for microorganisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IgE-dependent basophil activation induced by an allergen elicit the release of LTC4 and the expression of the CD63 membrane marker. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to check if flow cytometric analysis of basophil activation could be applied to food allergy diagnosis and if this method paralleled LTC4 release. METHODS Patients were selected by the clinical history, skin tests, and provocation tests. Basophil activation induced by food extracts was studied in 24 control subjects and in 27 patients having a food allergy by LTC4 release test (LRT) and by flow cytometric anti-IgE+, CD63 + cell counting (BAT = basophil activation test). In case of negative anti-IgE response a passive blood donor basophil passive sensitization step was added to LRT and BAT. Leucocyte histamine release test was performed in 11 patients. RESULTS Basophil activation test was positive in 18/31 cases and LRT in 22/34 cases for food-allergic patients and, respectively, in 1/33 and 1/35 cases for the controls. A correlation was observed between specific IgE, BAT, and LRT. Basophil activation test and LRT performed after passive sensitization had an excellent sensitivity only for specific IgE levels ranging between 3.5 and 35 KU/L. CONCLUSION The present study shows that allergen-induced LTC4 release and anti-IgE, antiCD63 bicolor flow cytometric analysis of basophil activation may be used for food allergy diagnosis. Both tests have a good sensitivity and specificity. Basophil activation test and LRT are more efficient than histamine release test in case of high spontaneous histamine release, frequently observed in case of food allergy.

Abstract
Down-regulation of KAI1 expression has been shown to be associated with formation of metastases or disease progression in prostate and pancreatic cancer. In the present study we analyzed the expression pattern of KAI1 in metastatic and nonmetastatic hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) in comparison with normal livers to evaluate whether alteration of KAI1 also facilitates the metastatic ability in this malignancy. Thirty-nine primary HCCs and 10 normal liver tissue samples were studied for KAI1 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression with use of Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization. By Northern blot analysis, moderate to strong KAI1 mRNA expression was present in normal liver samples. In contrast, KAI1 mRNA expression in tissue samples of primary HCCs was markedly decreased compared with normal controls. The normal/tumor ratio of KAI1 mRNA expression was 2.6:1 (P <.01). Primary HCCs that gave rise to metastasis showed significantly lower KAI1 mRNA levels than nonmetastasized HCCs (P <. 05). As seen by in situ hybridization, moderate to strong cytoplasmic KAI1 mRNA staining was present in almost all normal hepatocytes. Bile ducts, blood vessels, and connective tissue showed no or only faint KAI1 mRNA expression in the normal liver samples. In nonmetastatic HCCs, the cancer cells exhibited in situ hybridization signals that were similar to the normal controls. In contrast, most of the primary HCC cells in samples with metastases showed only faint or moderate KAI1 mRNA expression predominantly in the perinuclear regions. When KAI1 mRNA expression of primary hepatocellular cancer cells was compared with metastasized cancer cells in lymph nodes, with intrahepatic satellite metastasis, or with peritoneal metastasis in the same patients, significantly lower (P <.01) KAI1 mRNA levels were present in the metastasized HCC cells. Reduced KAI1 mRNA in HCC cells seems to influence their metastatic ability and thereby enhances the malignant potential of HCC.

Abstract
Vascular injury in vasculitis may be due to activation of circulating neutrophils resulting in their increased adhesiveness to locally activated endothelium (Shwartzman phenomenon). Previously, we demonstrated up-regulation of endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in biopsies from patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis. In the present study, we investigated the expression of adhesion molecules (CD11b, ICAM-1, VLA-4, L-selectin) and activation markers (CD66b, CD64, CD63) on circulating neutrophils from patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis in comparison with their expression on cells from healthy volunteers and patients with sepsis. We related these findings to parameters of disease activity. Surface marker expression was determined by using a non-activating whole blood flow cytometric assay. The expression of activation markers, but not the expression of adhesion molecules, was increased on neutrophils from patients with active vasculitis. The expression of CD63 and CD66b on neutrophils correlated with disease activity as determined by the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS). In contrast to patients with active vasculitis, patients with sepsis showed up-regulation of all markers, including adhesion molecules, suggesting that circulating neutrophils are fully activated in sepsis. We conclude that in ANCA-associated vasculitis, circulating neutrophils are not fully activated, since they do not express increased levels of adhesion molecules as sepsis or in the Shwartzman reaction. These findings are compatible with the concept that in vivo vascular damage in ANCA-associated vasculitides does not occur due to a Shwarzman-like reaction but only after ANCA-induced neutrophil activation at the endothelial cell surface.

Abstract
Members of our group reported recently that neisseria infection of human epithelial cells results in accelerated degradation of the major lysosomal integral membrane protein LAMP1 and that this is due to hydrolysis of this glycoprotein at its immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1)-like hinge by the neisseria type 2 IgA1 protease (L. Lin et al., Mol. Microbiol. 24:1083-1094, 1997). We also reported that the IgA1 protease plays a major role in the ability of the pathogenic neisseriae to survive within epithelial cells and hypothesized that this is due to alteration of lysosomes as a result of protease-mediated LAMP1 degradation. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that neisseria infection leads to multiple changes in lysosomes. Here, we report that neisseria infection also reduces the levels of three other lysosomal markers: LAMP2, lysosomal acid phosphatase (LAP), and CD63. In contrast, neither the epidermal growth factor receptor level nor the beta-tubulin level is affected. A detailed examination of LAMP2 indicated that the reduced LAMP2 levels are not the result of an altered biosynthetic rate or of cleavage by the IgA1 protease. Nevertheless, the protease plays a role in reducing LAMP2 and LAP activity levels, as these are partially restored in cells infected with an iga mutant. We conclude that neisseria infection results in multiple changes to the lysosomes of infected epithelial cells and that these changes are likely an indirect result of IgA1 protease-mediated cleavage of LAMP1.

Abstract
Abstract
In specialized APCs, MHC class II molecules are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and transported through the Golgi apparatus to organelles of the endocytic pathway collectively called MHC class II compartments (MIICs). There, the class II-associated invariant chain is degraded, and peptides derived from internalized Ag bind to empty class II in a reaction that is facilitated by the class II-like molecule HLA-DM. An mAb raised to highly purified, immunoisolated MIICs from human B lymphoblastoid cells recognized CD82, a member of the tetraspan family of integral membrane proteins. Subcellular fractionation, immunofluorescence microscopy, and immunoelectron microscopy showed that CD82 is highly enriched in MIICs, particularly in their internal membranes. Coprecipitation analysis showed that CD82 associates in MIICs with class II, DM, and HLA-DO (an inhibitor of peptide loading that binds DM). Similar experiments showed CD63, another tetraspan protein found in MIICs, also associates with these molecules in the compartment and that CD82 and CD63 associate with each other. Preclearing experiments demonstrated that both CD82 and CD63 form complexes with DM-associated class II and DM-associated DO. The ability of CD82 and CD63 to form complexes with class II, DM, and DO in MIICs suggests that the tetraspan proteins may play an important role in the late stages of MHC class II maturation.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody (MAb) designated FC-5.01 (IgG2a) was generated that binds to several human carcinomas and malignant melanoma. It has revealed no or very low reactivity with most human normal tissues, except for the fact that FC-5.01 binds to some cells from the neuroendocrine system, macrophages, and some renal proximal convolute tubules with an intracellular pattern. Biochemical studies indicate that FC-5.01 recognizes a heterogeneous glycoprotein (broadband between 30-60 kDa) in melanoma tumors. The epitopes reside in the protein core and are presumably conformational, with disulphide bonds implicated in MAb recognition. The current study presents evidence that MAb FC-5.01 reacts with CD63 antigen (Ag), which has been initially described as a melanoma associated Ag, and is a member of the tetraspan family. Reactivity of MAb FC-5.01 with CD63 was demonstrated by Western blot, immunodepletion assay, and FACS analysis of the CD63-negative melanoma cells (KM3) after transfection with the genomic copy of CD63. The epitope recognized by MAb FC-5.01 was shown to be different from the epitope recognized by another anti-CD63 MAb, ME491, by an inhibition radioimmunoassay. Opposite to what has been stated for MAb ME491, no significant differences were found in CD63 expression between primary and metastatic melanoma using MAb FC-5.01.

Abstract
In our previous paper, we reported that a monoclonal antibody (MAb) 710F, which recognizes a cell surface glycoprotein, induces morphological change in monocytic cells, promoting cellular adhesion and extensive spreading on tissue culture dishes [Koyama et al., Biochem, Biophys. Res. Commun., 168 (1990) 898-904]. We report here that the antigen was identified to be CD63, a member of tetraspan transmembrane protein family, by purification of the antigen molecule and subsequent cDNA cloning. The identity was further evidenced by sequential immunoprecipitation experiments using MAb 710F and anti-CD63, MAb2.28, and by their reactions with insect cells infected with baculovirus carrying CD63 expression cassette. Furthermore, the MAb2.28 exhibited cell-spreading activity, although to a lesser extent than MAb710F, suggesting the participation of CD63 in adhesion and spreading of monocytic cells.

Abstract
Cell-to-cell junction structures play a key role in cell growth rate control and cell polarization. In endothelial cells (EC), these structures are also involved in regulation of vascular permeability and leukocyte extravasation. To identify novel components in EC intercellular junctions, mAbs against these cells were produced and selected using a morphological screening by immunofluorescence microscopy. Two novel mAbs, LIA1/1 and VJ1/16, specifically recognized a 25-kD protein that was selectively localized at cell-cell junctions of EC, both in the primary formation of cell monolayers and when EC reorganized in the process of wound healing. This antigen corresponded to the recently cloned platelet-endothelial tetraspan antigen CD151/PETA-3 (platelet-endothelial tetraspan antigen-3), and was consistently detected at EC cell-cell contact sites. In addition to CD151/PETA-3, two other members of the tetraspan superfamily, CD9 and CD81/ TAPA-1 (target of antiproliferative antibody-1), localized at endothelial cell-to-cell junctions. Biochemical analysis demonstrated molecular associations among tetraspan molecules themselves and those of CD151/ PETA-3 and CD9 with alpha3 beta1 integrin. Interestingly, mAbs directed to both CD151/PETA-3 and CD81/ TAPA-1 as well as mAb specific for alpha3 integrin, were able to inhibit the migration of ECs in the process of wound healing. The engagement of CD151/PETA-3 and CD81/TAPA-1 inhibited the movement of individual ECs, as determined by quantitative time-lapse video microscopy studies. Furthermore, mAbs against the CD151/PETA-3 molecule diminished the rate of EC invasion into collagen gels. In addition, these mAbs were able to increase the adhesion of EC to extracellular matrix proteins. Together these results indicate that CD81/TAPA-1 and CD151/PETA-3 tetraspan molecules are components of the endothelial lateral junctions implicated in the regulation of cell motility, either directly or by modulation of the function of the associated integrin heterodimers.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen presenting cells with the unique capacity to induce primary and secondary immune responses in vivo. Here, we show that DCs secrete antigen presenting vesicles, called exosomes, which express functional Major Histocompatibility Complex class I and class II, and T-cell costimulatory molecules. Tumor peptide-pulsed DC-derived exosomes prime specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in vivo and eradicate or suppress growth of established murine tumors in a T cell-dependent manner. Exosome-based cell-free vaccines represent an alternative to DC adoptive therapy for suppressing tumor growth.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that when the cytosolic domains of the type I membrane proteins TGN38 and lysosomal glycoprotein 120 (lgp120) are added to a variety of reporter molecules, the resultant chimeric molecules are localized to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and to lysosomes, respectively. In the present study we expressed chimeric constructs of rat TGN38 and rat lgp120 in HeLa cells. We found that targeting information in the cytosolic domain of TGN38 could be overridden by the presence of the lumenal and transmembrane domains of lgp120. In contrast, the presence of the transmembrane and cytosolic domains of TGN38 was sufficient to deliver the lumenal domain of lgp120 to the trans-Golgi network. On the basis of steady-state localization of the various chimeras and antibody uptake experiments, we propose that there is a hierarchy of targeting information in each molecule contributing to sorting within the endocytic pathway. The lumenal and cytosolic domains of lgp120 contribute to sorting and delivery to lysosomes, whereas the transmembrane and cytosolic domains of TGN38 contribute to sorting and delivery to the trans-Golgi network.

Abstract
The mechanisms responsible for coated pit formation in cells remain unknown, but indirect evidence has argued both for and against a critical role of receptor cytoplasmic domains in the process. If the endocytic motifs of receptors are responsible for recruiting AP2 to the plasma membrane, thereby driving coated pit formation, then the level of constitutively internalized receptors at the membrane would be expected to govern the steady-state level of coated pits in cells. Here we directly test this hypothesis for broad classes of receptors containing three distinct constitutive internalization signals. Chimeric proteins consisting of an integral membrane reporter protein (Tac) coupled to cytoplasmic domains bearing tyrosine-, di-leucine-, or acidic cluster/casein kinase II-based internalization signals were overexpressed to levels that saturated the internalization pathway. Quantitative confocal immunofluorescence microscopy indicated that the number of plasma membrane clathrin-coated pits and the concentration of their structural components were invariant when comparing cells expressing saturating levels of the chimeric receptors to nonexpressing cells or to cells expressing only the Tac reporter lacking cytoplasmic internalization signals. Biochemical analysis showed that the distribution of coat proteins between assembled coated pits and soluble pools was also not altered by receptor overexpression. Finally, the cellular localizations of AP2 and AP1 were similarly unaffected. These results provide a clear indication that receptor endocytic signals do not determine coated pit levels by directly recruiting AP2 molecules. Rather, the findings support a model in which coated pit formation proceeds through recruitment and activation of AP2, likely through a limited number of regulated docking sites that act independently of endocytic signals.

Abstract
AbstractWe have used ultrathin cryosectioning and immunogold cytochemistry to study the position of α-granules in the endocytic and biosynthetic pathways in megakaryocytes and platelets. Morphologically, we distinguished three types of granules; so-called multivesicular bodies type I (MVB I) with internal vesicles only, granules with internal vesicles and an electron dense matrix (MVB II), and the α-granules with mainly a dense content and often internal membrane vesicles at their periphery. The MVBs were prominent in cultured megakaryocytes and the megakaryoblastic cell line CHRF-288, but were less numerous in bone marrow megakaryocytes and platelets, whereas α-granules were most prominent in mature bone marrow megakaryocytes and in platelets. The internalization kinetics of bovine serum albumin-gold particles and of fibrinogen positioned the MVB subtypes and α-granules sequentially in the endocytic pathway. MVBs contained the secretory proteins von Willebrand factor (vWF) and β-thromboglobulin (β-TG), the platelet-specific membrane protein P-selectin, and the lysosomal membrane protein CD63. Within the MVBs, endocytosed fibrinogen and endogenous β-TG were restricted to the matrix, while vWF was predominantly associated with internal vesicles. CD63 was also observed in association with internal membrane vesicles in the α-granules. These observations, and the gradual morphologic transition from granules containing vesicles to granules containing predominantly dense material, suggest that MVBs represent a developmental stage in α-granule maturation.

Abstract
The compartmentalization of cAMP in human neutrophils during phagocytosis of serum-opsonized zymosan suggests that cAMP is an important second messenger for regulating phagocytosis. Type 4 cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE-4), cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), and adenylate cyclase are the principal effector molecules for cAMP regulation in phagocytes. Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated that PDE-4 isoforms (HSPDE-4A, HSPDE-4B, HSPDE-4D) were targeted to the forming phagosome in neutrophils, and were colocalized with the catalytic subunit of PKA and degranulated myeloperoxidase. Phagocytosis and accumulation of PDE-4 and PKA near adherent zymosan were inhibited by elevating cAMP levels with forskolin or rolipram. cAMP, PDE-4, and PKA were localized at sites of zymosan adherence in cells treated with cytochalasin D to inhibit phagosome formation, suggesting that zymosan engagement to Fc/CR3 receptors triggers cAMP elevations at sites of phagocytosis. HSPDE-4A, HSPDE-4B, HSPDE-4D, and PKA also were localized at the forming phagosome in monocyte-derived macrophages, and the lysosomal marker CD63 demonstrated the absence of PDE-4 around internalized phagolysosomes. These results suggest that cAMP levels are focally regulated by PDE-4 at the nascent phagosome, and that PKA may phosphorylate proteins associated with pseudopodia formation and phagosome internalization.

Abstract
Tetra-spans transmembrane family (TSTF) members (CD9, CD37, CD53, CD63, CD81 and CD82) have potent effects on cell growth, motility and adhesion in various cells. However, little is known about their expression in human skin. Using immunohistological techniques, we have studied the localization of all six members of TSTF in normal and carcinomatous human keratinocytes. CD9, CD81 and CD82 were expressed in the entire living layers of the epidermis. Their staining pattern was quite similar, and was mainly intercellular with occasional intracellular immunoreactivity. CD53 expression was confined to the intercellular spaces of the upper spinous or granular layer in the normal epidermis. No clear-cut expression of CD63 could be detected in the epidermis. CD37 was not detected at all. Cultured human keratinocytes also expressed CD9, CD81 and CD82 at the surface membrane of cell-cell boundaries. Expression of CD37 and CD53 was negative in cultured keratinocytes, while CD63 was clearly localized in the cytoplasmic lysosomes. An immunoprecipitation assay revealed that alpha 3 beta 1 integrin is molecularly associated with CD9. The expression of CD9, CD81 and CD82 was markedly down-regulated in basal cell carcinoma but not in Bowen's disease. The abundant and differential expression of TSTF molecules and the selective association of CD9 with alpha 3 beta 1 integrin suggest that the TSTF molecules may be involved in the regulation of epidermal differentiation and integrity in vivo.

Abstract
Signals controlling the intracellular targeting of many membrane proteins are present as short sequences within their cytoplasmic domains. P-selectin is a type I membrane protein receptor for leukocytes, acting during the inflammation response. Heterologous expression experiments have demonstrated that its 35-residue cytoplasmic tail contains signals for targeting to synaptic-like microvesicles, dense-cored granules, and lysosomes. We have examined the lysosomal targeting information present within the cytoplasmic tail by site-directed mutagenesis of horseradish peroxidase-P-selectin chimeras followed by transient transfection in H.Ep.2 cells. Assaying lysosomal targeting by subcellular fractionation as well as intracellular proteolysis, we have discovered a novel lysosomal targeting signal, KCPL, located within the C1 domain of the cytoplasmic tail. Alanine substitution of this tetrapeptide reduced lysosomal targeting to the level of a tailless horseradish peroxidase-P-selectin chimera, which was previously found to be deficient in both internalization and delivery to lysosomes. A proline residue within this lysosomal targeting signal makes a major contribution to the efficiency of lysosomal targeting. A diaminobenzidine density shift procedure established that chimeras with an inactivated KCPL sequence are present within transferrin-positive compartments. Such a mutant also displays an increased level of expression at the plasma membrane. Our results indicate that the sequence KCPL within the cytoplasmic tail of P-selectin is a structural element that mediates sorting from endosomes to lysosomes.

Abstract
Transmembrane-4 superfamily (TM4SF) proteins form complexes with integrins and other cell-surface proteins. To further characterize the major proteins present in a typical TM4SF protein complex, we raised monoclonal antibodies against proteins co-immunoprecipitated with CD81 from MDA-MB-435 breast cancer cells. Only two types of cell-surface proteins were recognized by our 35 selected antibodies. These included an integrin (alpha6beta1) and three different TM4SF proteins (CD9, CD63, and NAG-2). The protein NAG-2 (novel antigen-2) is a previously unknown 30-kDa cell-surface protein. Using an expression cloning protocol, cDNA encoding NAG-2 was isolated. When aligned with other TM4SF proteins, the deduced amino acid sequence of NAG-2 showed most identity (34%) to CD53. Flow cytometry, Northern blotting, and immunohistochemistry showed that NAG-2 is widely present in multiple tissues and cell types but is absent from brain, lymphoid cells, and platelets. Within various tissues, strongest staining was seen on fibroblasts, endothelial cells, follicular dendritic cells, and mesothelial cells. In nonstringent detergent, NAG-2 protein was co-immunoprecipitated with other TM4SF members (CD9 and CD81) and integrins (alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta1). Also, two-color immunofluorescence showed that NAG-2 was co-localized with CD81 on the surface of spread HT1080 cells. These results confirm the presence of NAG-2 in specific TM4SF.TM4SF and TM4SF-integrin complexes.

Abstract
The transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) comprises an assemblage of surface antigens from mammalian cells and from the human blood flukes. Member proteins of the TM4SF are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains, which are presumed to be membrane-spanning, and specific conserved motifs. The Sm23 group of TM4SF, which includes Sm23, Sj23, and Sh23 from blood flukes, shows potential as immunodiagnostic and vaccine target antigens for use in controlling human schistosomiasis. Here we describe a cDNA from miracidia and adult Schistosoma japonicum parasites which apparently encodes a new member of the TM4SF. The deduced polypeptide, termed Sj25/TM4, has substantial amino acid homology to Sm23 from Schistosoma mansoni although it is not a species homologue of Sm23. Sj25/TM4 is predicted to span the cell membrane four times, with its NH2- and COOH-termini embedded in the cytoplasm, and to have two extracellular hydrophilic loops, one of which may be N-glycosylated. This topology is characteristic of TM4SF proteins; in addition, Sj25/TM4 contains the sequence motifs conserved in the TM4SF. Southern hybridization analysis demonstrated that Sj25/TM4 and Sj23 are encoded by genes at separate loci and, further, showed interstrain variation at the locus encoding Sj25/TM4 in Chinese and Philippine isolates of S. japonicum.

Abstract
Hrs is a 115-kDa double zinc finger protein that is rapidly tyrosine phosphorylated in growth factor-stimulated cells. However, its function remains unknown. Here we show that Hrs is localized to early endosomes. Intracellular localization of endogenous Hrs and exogenously expressed Hrs tagged with the hemagglutinin epitope was examined by immunofluorescence staining using anti-Hrs and anti-hemagglutinin epitope antibodies, respectively. Hrs was detected in vesicular structures and was colocalized with the transferrin receptor, a marker for early endosomes, but only partially with CD63, a marker for late endosomes. A zinc finger domain deletion mutant of Hrs was also colocalized with the transferrin receptor, suggesting that the zinc finger domain is not required for its correct localization. Immunoelectron microscopy showed that Hrs was localized to the cytoplasmic surface of these structures. By subcellular fractionation, Hrs was recovered both in the cytoplasmic and membrane fractions. The membrane-associated Hrs was extracted from the membrane by alkali treatment, suggesting that it is peripherally associated with early endosomes. These results, together with our finding that Hrs is homologous to Vps27p, a protein essential for protein traffic through a prevacuolar compartment in yeast, suggest that Hrs is involved in vesicular transport through early endosomes.

The cDNA encodes 196 amino acids with a molecular weight of approximately 24000. P24 contains two putative membrane spanning domains and a sequence in the hydrophilic tail homologous to the microtubule-binding domain of microtubule-associated proteins, such as TAU and MAP-2. We prepared antibodies to p24 and demonstrated that the protein is rich in nerve fibers of the cerebral cortex, anterior cerebral nuclei and hypothalamus. When neuroblastoma Neuro 2a cells were treated with retinoic acid to induce differentiation, p24 mRNA increased but the p24 protein was not detected. The protein expressed from the p24 cDNA in non-neuronal Cos-7 cells was 24 kDa in size and were localized only in lysosomes. These findings indicate that p24 is a neuron-specific membrane protein localized in intracellular organelles of highly differentiated neural cells and suggest that it may play a role in the neural organelle transport system.

Abstract
Activation of T lymphocytes by T-cell receptor (TCR) ligands such as peptide/MHC complexes, superantigens or anti-TCR mAbs, or by pharmacological activators of protein kinase C such as phorbol esters, results in the internalization and cell surface downregulation of TCRs. We investigated the role of internalization motifs located in the cytosolic region of CD3 gamma in the internalization of TCR complexes induced by enterotoxin superantigens, anti-TCR mAbs or phorbol esters. To this end, a series of CD3 gamma mutants were expressed in a CD3 gamma-deficient variant of the human T-cell line Jurkat. We found that serine126 and the di-leucine motif (Leu131-Leu132) are required for phorbol-ester-induced TCR downregulation, but they are not necessary for enterotoxin superantigen or antibody-induced TCR downregulation. Moreover, the tyrosine-based motifs (residues 138 to 141 and 149 to 152) are not required either for phorbol aster or for superantigen or antibody-induced TCR downregulation. Confocal microscopy analysis reveals that TCR complexes accumulate in an early endocytic/recycling compartment upon activation of cells with phorbol esters, whereas TCRs internalized upon activation with superantigen or anti-TCR mAbs are routed to lysosomes. Consistent with this intracellular localization, TCRs internalized in response to phorbol ester are not degraded and can be reexpressed on the cell surface. In contrast, TCRs internalized upon superantigen activation are degraded.

Abstract
It has recently been shown that several members of the tetraspan superfamily, including CD9 and CD63, associate with each other and with beta1 integrins. In this study, we examined the distribution of a recently identified tetraspan, PETA-3 (CD151), and of CD9, CD63, alpha5beta1, and the integrin beta1 chain in normal human tissues by the indirect immunoperoxidase and alkaline phosphatase-anti-alkaline phosphatase techniques. PETA-3 showed a broad distribution and was expressed by endothelium, epithelium, Schwann cells, and dendritic cells and by skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. Expression in skin was mostly restricted to the basal cells of the epidermis and was downregulated on differentiation. In the small intestine, PETA-3 was expressed by crypt and villous enterocytes with a mostly basolateral distribution, but was not detectable on the brush border. CD9 was expressed on the plasma membrane of enterocytes in crypts and at the bases of the villi whereas CD63 demonstrated a unique granular appearance concentrated in the apical cytoplasm below the brush border. The findings of this study show co-localization of PETA-3 with CD9, CD63, alpha5beta1, and beta1 in particular tissues, demonstrating that tetraspan/integrin complexes may occur. However, the lack of co-localization of these antigens in other tissues also implies distinct roles for these molecules.

Abstract
To identify the intracellular site(s) of formation of an endogenous class II/peptide complex in a human B cell line, we employed kinetic pulse-chase labeling experiments followed by subcellular fractionation by Percoll density gradient centrifugation and immunogold labeling on ultrathin cryosections. For direct demonstration of assembly of such complexes, we used the monoclonal antibody YAe, which detects an endogenous complex of the mouse class II molecule I-Ab with a 17-amino acid peptide derived from the alpha chain of HLA-DR (DR alpha52-68). We show that in human B lymphocytes, these class II/peptide complexes assemble and transiently accumulate in major histocompatibility complex class II-enriched compartments before reaching the cell surface.

Abstract
We have isolated genomic clones encoding hamster MM3, a member of transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF). Nucleotide (nt) sequence analysis revealed that it is composed of 5 exons spanning about 8 kb. The exon-intron organization of the MM3 gene was quite different from those of other TM4SF members. We also identified its transcription start points (tsp) and the promoter region. Deletion analysis of the promoter revealed that about 160-bp region containing TATA-box, CAAT-box and GC-box was necessary for efficient transcription in cultured cells.

Abstract
Many integral membrane proteins contain tyrosine-based signals within their cytoplasmic domains that mediate internalization from the cell surface and targeting to lysosomal compartments. Internalization depends on an interaction of the tyrosine-based signals with the clathrin-associated adaptor complex AP-2 at the plasma membrane, whereas lysosomal targeting involves interaction of the signals with an analogous complex, AP-1, at the trans-Golgi network. Recent studies have identified the medium chains mu2 of AP-2 and mu1 of AP-1 as the recognition molecules for tyrosine-based signals. We have now investigated the structural determinants for interaction of the signals with mu2 and mu1. The position of the signals was found to be an important determinant of interactions with mu2 and mu1; signals were most effective when present at the carboxyl terminus of a polypeptide sequence. Another important determinant of interactions was the identity of residues surrounding the critical tyrosine residue. Mutation of some residues affected interactions with mu2 and mu1 similarly, whereas other mutations had differential effects. These observations suggest that both the position and the exact sequence of tyrosine-based sorting signals are major determinants of selectivity in their interaction with clathrin-associated adaptor complexes.
