Abstract
Cholera toxin (Ctx) and the closely related Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (Etx) not only act as mediators of diarrhoeal disease but also exert potent immunomodulatory properties on mammalian immune systems. The toxins normally exert their diarrhoeagenic effects by initiating receptor-mediated uptake into vesicles that enter a retrograde trafficking pathway, circumventing degradative compartments and targeting them to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we examine whether receptor-mediated binding and cellular entry by the toxin B-subunits also lead to concomitant changes in uptake and trafficking of exogenous antigens that could contribute to the potent immunomodulatory properties of these toxins. Treatment of the macrophage (J774.2) cell line with Etx B-subunit (EtxB) resulted in EtxB transport to the TGN and also led to the formation of large, translucent, non-acidic, EtxB-devoid vacuoles. When exogenous antigens were added, EtxB-treated cells were found to be proficient in both internalization of ovalbumin (OVA) and phagocytosis of bacterial particles. However, the internalized OVA, instead of trafficking along a lysosome-directed endocytic pathway via acidified endosomes, persisted in a non-acidic, light-density compartment that was distinct from the translucent vacuoles. The rerouted OVA did not co-localize with the endosomal markers rab5 or rab11, nor with EtxB, but was retained in a transferrin receptor-positive compartment. The failure of OVA to enter the late endosomal/lysosomal compartments correlated with a striking inhibition of OVA peptide processing and presentation to OVA-responsive CD4+ T-cells. CtxB also modulated OVA trafficking and inhibited antigen presentation. These findings demonstrate that the B-subunits of Ctx and Etx alter the progression of exogenous antigens along the endocytic processing pathway, and prevent or delay efficient epitope presentation and T-cell stimulation. The formation of such 'antigen depots' could contribute to the immunomodulatory properties of these bacterial virulence determinants.

Abstract
Formation of mature excitatory synapses requires the assembly and delivery of NMDA receptors to the neuronal plasma membrane. A key step in the trafficking of NMDA receptors to synapses is the exit of newly assembled receptors from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here we report the identification of an RXR-type ER retention/retrieval motif in the C-terminal tail of the NMDA receptor subunit NR1 that regulates receptor surface expression in heterologous cells and in neurons. In addition, we show that PKC phosphorylation and an alternatively spliced consensus type I PDZ-binding domain suppress ER retention. These results demonstrate a novel quality control function for alternatively spliced C-terminal domains of NR1 and implicate both phosphorylation and potential PDZ-mediated interactions in the trafficking of NMDA receptors through early stages of the secretory pathway.

Abstract
The endocytic itineraries of lipid raft markers, such as glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins and glycosphingolipids, are incompletely understood. Here we show that different GPI-anchored proteins have different intracellular distributions; some (such as the folate receptor) accumulate in transferrin-containing compartments, others (such as CD59 and GPI-linked green fluorescent protein [GFP]) accumulate in the Golgi apparatus. Selective photobleaching shows that the Golgi pool of both GPI-GFP and CD59-GFP constantly and rapidly exchanges with the pool of these proteins found on the plasma membrane (PM). We visualized intermediates carrying GPI-GFP from the Golgi apparatus to the PM and separate structures delivering GPI-GFP to the Golgi apparatus.GPI-GFP does not accumulate within endocytic compartments containing transferrin, although it is detected in intracellular structures which are endosomes by the criteria of accessibility to a fluid phase marker and to cholera and shiga toxin B subunits (CTxB and STxB, which are also found in rafts). GPI-GFP and a proportion of the total CTxB and STxB taken up into cells are endocytosed independently of clathrin-associated machinery and are delivered to the Golgi complex via indistinguishable mechanisms. Hence, they enter the Golgi complex in the same intermediates, get there independently of both clathrin and rab5 function, and are excluded from it at 20 degrees C and under conditions of cholesterol sequestration. The PM-Golgi cycling pathway followed by GPI-GFP could serve to regulate lipid raft distribution and function within cells.

Abstract
Whereas endosomes connect with both exocytic and endocytic organelle via extensive lipid and protein traffic, each endosome has a distinct lipid and protein composition. Recent observations suggest that different lipid membrane domains exist even in the same endosome. These lipid domains, together with low pH milieu, may present a variety of micro-environments to cargo molecules. Evidence is accumulating which suggests that the alteration of these lipid microdomains may be involved in a number of pathological conditions.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-activated chloride channel that is localized to the plasma membrane and endosomal compartment. Endosomal targeting of CFTR is attributed to the Tyr(1424)-based internalization signal, identified in the C-terminal tail of the channel. Mutation of the Tyr(1424) residue could partly inhibit the endocytosis of CFTR and its association with the adapter protein AP-2. To reveal additional endosomal targeting signals, site-directed mutagenesis of both a chimaera, composed of a truncated form of interleukin 2 receptor alpha chain (TacT) and the C-terminal tail of CFTR (Ct), and the full-length CFTR was performed. Morphological and functional assays revealed the presence of multiple internalization motifs at the C-terminus, consisting of a phenylalanine-based motif (Phe(1413)) and a bipartite endocytic signal, comprising a tyrosine (Tyr(1424)) and a di-Leu-based (Leu(1430)-Leu) motif. Whereas the replacement of any one of the three internalization motifs with alanine prevented the endocytosis of the TacT-Ct chimaera, mutagenesis of Phe(1413)-Leu impaired the biosynthetic processing of CFTR, indicating that Phe(1413) is indispensable for the native structure of CFTR. In contrast, replacement of Leu(1430)-Leu- and Tyr(1424)-based signals with alanine increased the cell-surface density of both the chimaeras and CFTR in an additive manner. These results suggest that the internalization of CFTR is regulated by multiple endocytic sorting signals.

Abstract
Insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP), a transmembrane aminopeptidase, is dynamically retained within the endosomal compartment of fibroblasts. The characteristics of this dynamic retention are rapid internalization from the plasma membrane and slow recycling back to the cell surface. These specialized trafficking kinetics result in <15% of IRAP on the cell surface at steady state, compared with 35% of the transferrin receptor, another transmembrane protein that traffics between endosomes and the cell surface. Here we demonstrate that a 29-amino acid region of IRAP's cytoplasmic domain (residues 56--84) is necessary and sufficient to promote trafficking characteristic of IRAP. A di-leucine sequence and a cluster of acidic amino acids within this region are essential elements of the motif that slows IRAP recycling. Rapid internalization requires any two of three distinct motifs: M(15,16), DED(64--66), and LL(76,77). The DED and LL sequences are part of the motif that regulates recycling, demonstrating that this motif is bifunctional. In this study we used horseradish peroxidase quenching of fluorescence to demonstrate that IRAP is dynamically retained within the transferrin receptor-containing general endosomal recycling compartment. Therefore, our data demonstrate that motifs similar to those that determine targeting among distinct membrane compartments can also regulate the rate of transport of proteins from endosomal compartments. We propose a model for dynamic retention in which IRAP is transported from the general endosomal recycling compartment in specialized, slowly budding recycling vesicles that are distinct from those that mediate rapid recycling back to the surface (e.g., transferrin receptor-containing transport vesicles). It is likely that the dynamic retention of IRAP is an example of a general mechanism for regulating the distribution of proteins between the surface and interior of cells.

Abstract
Alphaherpesviruses express a heterodimeric glycoprotein, gE/gI, that facilitates cell-to-cell spread between epithelial cells and neurons. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) gE/gI accumulates at junctions formed between polarized epithelial cells at late times of infection. However, at earlier times after HSV infection, or when gE/gI is expressed using virus vectors, the glycoprotein localizes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN). The cytoplasmic (CT) domains of gE and gI contain numerous TGN and endosomal sorting motifs and are essential for epithelial cell-to-cell spread. Here, we swapped the CT domains of HSV gE and gI onto another HSV glycoprotein, gD. When the gD-gI(CT) chimeric protein was expressed using a replication-defective adenovirus (Ad) vector, the protein was found on both the apical and basolateral surfaces of epithelial cells, as was gD. By contrast, the gD-gE(CT) chimeric protein, gE/gI, and gE, when expressed by using Ad vectors, localized exclusively to the TGN. However, gD-gE(CT), gE/gI, and TGN46, a cellular TGN protein, became redistributed largely to lateral surfaces and cell junctions during intermediate to late stages of HSV infection. Strikingly, gE and TGN46 remained sequestered in the TGN when cells were infected with a gI(-)HSV mutant. The redistribution of gE/gI to lateral cell surfaces did not involve widespread HSV inhibition of endocytosis because the transferrin receptor and gE were both internalized from the cell surface. Thus, gE/gI accumulates in the TGN in early phases of HSV infection then moves to lateral surfaces, to cell junctions, at late stages of infection, coincident with the redistribution of a TGN marker. These results are related to recent observations that gE/gI participates in the envelopment of nucleocapsids into cytoplasmic vesicles (A. R. Brack, B. G. Klupp, H. Granzow, R. Tirabassi, L. W. Enquist, and T. C. Mettenleiter, J. Virol. 74:4004-4016, 2000) and that gE/gI can sort nascent virions from cytoplasmic vesicles specifically to the lateral surfaces of epithelial cells (D. C. Johnson, M. Webb, T. W. Wisner, and C. Brunetti, J. Virol. 75:821-833, 2000). Therefore, gE/gI localizes to the TGN, through interactions between the CT domain of gE and cellular sorting machinery, and then participates in envelopment of cytosolic nucleocapsids there. Nascent virions are then sorted from the TGN to cell junctions.

Abstract
Several GTPases of the Rab family, known to be regulators of membrane traffic between organelles, have been described and localized to various intracellular compartments. Rab11 has previously been reported to be associated with the pericentriolar recycling compartment, post-Golgi vesicles, and the trans-Golgi network (TGN). We compared the effect of overexpression of wild-type and mutant forms of Rab11 on the different intracellular transport steps in the endocytic/degradative and the biosynthetic/exocytic pathways in HeLa cells. We also studied transport from endosomes to the Golgi apparatus using the Shiga toxin B subunit (STxB) and TGN38 as reporter molecules. Overexpression of both Rab11 wild-type (Rab11wt) and mutants altered the localization of the transferrrin receptor (TfR), internalized Tf, the STxB, and TGN38. In cells overexpressing Rab11wt and in a GTPase-deficient Rab11 mutant (Rab11Q70L), these proteins were found in vesicles showing characteristics of sorting endosomes lacking cellubrevin (Cb). In contrast, they were redistributed into an extended tubular network, together with Cb, in cells overexpressing a dominant negative mutant of Rab11 (Rab11S25N). This tubularized compartment was not accessible to Tf internalized at temperatures <20 degrees C, suggesting that it is of recycling endosomal origin. Overexpression of Rab11wt, Rab11Q70L, and Rab11S25N also inhibited STxB and TGN38 transport from endosomes to the TGN. These results suggest that Rab11 influences endosome to TGN trafficking primarily by regulating membrane distribution inside the early endosomal pathway.

Abstract
We have here studied the role of cholesterol in transport of ricin from endosomes to the Golgi apparatus. Ricin is endocytosed even when cells are depleted for cholesterol by using methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (m beta CD). However, as here shown, the intracellular transport of ricin from endosomes to the Golgi apparatus, measured by quantifying sulfation of a modified ricin molecule, is strongly inhibited when the cholesterol content of the cell is reduced. On the other hand, increasing the level of cholesterol by treating cells with mbetaCD saturated with cholesterol (m beta CD/chol) reduced the intracellular transport of ricin to the Golgi apparatus even more strongly. The intracellular transport routes affected include both Rab9-independent and Rab9-dependent pathways to the Golgi apparatus, since both sulfation of ricin after induced expression of mutant Rab9 (mRab9) to inhibit late endosome to Golgi transport and sulfation of a modified mannose 6-phosphate receptor (M6PR) were inhibited after removal or addition of cholesterol. Furthermore, the structure of the Golgi apparatus was affected by increased levels of cholesterol, as visualized by pronounced vesiculation and formation of smaller stacks. Thus, our results indicate that transport of ricin from endosomes to the Golgi apparatus is influenced by the cholesterol content of the cell.

Abstract
In renal principal cells, vasopressin regulates the shuttling of the aquaporin (AQP)2 water channel between intracellular vesicles and the apical plasma membrane. Vasopressin-induced phosphorylation of AQP2 at serine 256 (S256) by protein kinase A (PKA) is essential for its localization in the membrane. However, phosphorylated AQP2 (p-AQP2) has also been detected in intracellular vesicles of noninduced principal cells. As AQP2 is expressed as homotetramers, we hypothesized that the number of p-AQP2 monomers in a tetramer might be critical for the its steady state distribution. Expressed in oocytes, AQP2-S256D and AQP2-S256A mimicked p-AQP2 and non-p-AQP2, respectively, as routing and function of AQP2-S256D and wild-type AQP2 (wt-AQP2) were identical, whereas AQP2-S256A was retained intracellularly. In coinjection experiments, AQP2-S256A and AQP2-S256D formed heterotetramers. Coinjection of different ratios of AQP2-S256A and AQP2-S256D cRNAs revealed that minimally three AQP2-S256D monomers in an AQP2 tetramer were essential for its plasma membrane localization. Therefore, our results suggest that in principal cells, minimally three monomers per AQP2 tetramer have to be phosphorylated for its steady state localization in the apical membrane. As other multisubunit channels are also regulated by phosphorylation, it is anticipated that the stoichiometry of their phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated subunits may fine-tune the activity or subcellular localization of these complexes.

Abstract
Sorting nexin (SNX) 15 is a novel member of the SNX family of proteins. Although the functions of most SNXs have not yet been determined, several family members (e.g., SNX1, SNX2, SNX3, and SNX8) are orthologs of yeast proteins involved in protein trafficking. Overexpression of myc-tagged SNX15 in COS-7 cells altered the morphology of several endosomal compartments. In transient transfection experiments, myc-SNX15 was first seen in small punctate spots and small ring structures. Later, myc-SNX15 was found in larger rings. Finally, myc-SNX15 was observed in large, amorphous membrane-limited structures. These structures contained proteins from lysosomes, late endosomes, early endosomes, and the trans-Golgi network. However, the morphology of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi was not affected by overexpression of myc-SNX15. In myc-SNX15-overexpressing cells, the endocytosis of transferrin was severely inhibited and endocytosis of tac-trans-Golgi network (TGN) 38 and tac-furin was slowed. In addition, the recycling of internalized tac-TGN38 and tac-furin was also inhibited. Both the morphological and biochemical data indicate that SNX15 plays a crucial role in trafficking through the endocytic pathway. This is the first demonstration that a mammalian SNX protein is involved in protein trafficking.

Abstract
Prior studies on receptor recycling through late endosomes and the TGN have suggested that such traffic may be largely limited to specialized proteins that reside in these organelles. We present evidence that efficient recycling along this pathway is functionally important for nonresident proteins. P-selectin, a transmembrane cell adhesion protein involved in inflammation, is sorted from recycling cell surface receptors (e.g., low density lipoprotein [LDL] receptor) in endosomes, and is transported from the cell surface to the TGN with a half-time of 20-25 min, six to seven times faster than LDL receptor. Native P-selectin colocalizes with LDL, which is efficiently transported to lysosomes, for 20 min after internalization, but a deletion mutant deficient in endosomal sorting activity rapidly separates from the LDL pathway. Thus, P-selectin is sorted from LDL receptor in early endosomes, driving P-selectin rapidly into late endosomes. P-selectin then recycles to the TGN as efficiently as other receptors. Thus, the primary effect of early endosomal sorting of P-selectin is its rapid delivery to the TGN, with rapid turnover in lysosomes a secondary effect of frequent passage through late endosomes. This endosomal sorting event provides a mechanism for efficiently recycling secretory granule membrane proteins and, more generally, for downregulating cell surface receptors.

Abstract
The plant toxin ricin binds to both glycoproteins and glycolipids with terminal galactose, and the toxin will therefore be endocytosed by the different mechanisms operating in a given cell. After endocytosis the toxin is transported to the Golgi apparatus by a process that differs from the Rab9-dependent transport of mannose-6-phosphate receptors. Retrograde toxin transport from the Golgi apparatus to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) seems to be a requirement for subsequent toxin translocation to the cytosol where the toxin inhibits protein synthesis enzymatically. By using ricin we have characterized different types of endocytosis and the transport steps used by this toxin.

The magnitude of the insulin effect is much greater for GLUT4 than other recycling proteins such as the CD-MPR. In the present study we have studied the colocalisation of these proteins in adipocytes in an effort to explain this selective insulin-dependent recruitment of GLUT4. Using immunofluorescence microscopy or immuno-EM on 3T3-L1 adipocytes we find that there is considerable colocalisation between these proteins particularly within the area of the TGN. However, the distribution of CD-MPR was not significantly effected by insulin. The insulin-dependent recruitment of GLUT4 was concomitant with a selective decrease in GLUT4 labelling of cytoplasmic vesicles whereas the amount of GLUT4 in the TGN region (approx. 50% of total GLUT4) was relatively unaffected. To explore the possibility that the cytoplasmic GLUT4(+) vesicles represent an intracellular insulin-responsive storage compartment we performed quantitative immuno-EM on whole mounts of intracellular vesicles isolated from basal and insulin-stimulated adipocytes. These studies revealed that: (1) GLUT4 and CD-MPR were concentrated in small (30-200 nm) vesicles at a labelling density of 1–20+ gold particles/vesicle; (2) there was significant overlap between both proteins in that 70% of the total GLUT4 pool colocalised with CD-MPR; (3) a significant amount of GLUT4 (approx. 50% of total) was found in a subpopulation of vesicles that contained as little as 5% of the total CD-MPR pool; (4) the GLUT4(+)/CD-MPR(-) vesicles were highly insulin-responsive, and (5) the total number of GLUT4(+) vesicles, but not CD-MPR(+) vesicles, decreased by approx. 30% in response to insulin treatment. These data are consistent with a model in which GLUT4 is selectively sorted into a vesicular compartment in adipocytes that is recruited to the plasma membrane by insulin stimulation.

Abstract
TIP47 (tail-interacting protein of 47 kDa) binds to the cytoplasmic domains of the cation-independent and cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate receptors and is required for their transport from late endosomes to the trans Golgi network in vitro and in vivo. We report here a quantitative analysis of the interaction of recombinant TIP47 with mannose 6-phosphate receptor cytoplasmic domains. Recombinant TIP47 binds more tightly to the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (K(D) = 1 microm) than to the cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (K(D) = 3 microm). In addition, TIP47 fails to interact with the cytoplasmic domains of the hormone-processing enzymes, furin, phosphorylated furin, and metallocarboxypeptidase D, as well as the cytoplasmic domain of TGN38, proteins that are also transported from endosomes to the trans Golgi network. Although these proteins failed to bind TIP47, furin and TGN38 were readily recognized by the clathrin adaptor, AP-2. These data suggest that TIP47 recognizes a very select set of cargo molecules. Moreover, our data suggest unexpectedly that furin, TGN38, and carboxypeptidase D may use a distinct vesicular carrier and perhaps a distinct route for transport between endosomes and the trans Golgi network.

Abstract
The endosomal system is a major membrane-sorting apparatus. New evidence reveals that novel coat proteins assist specific sorting steps and docking factors ensure the vectorial nature of trafficking in the endosomal compartment. There is also good evidence for ubiquitin regulating passage of certain proteins into multivesicular late endosomes, which mature by accumulating invaginated membrane. Lipids play a central role in this involution process, as do the class E vacuolar protein-sorting proteins.

Abstract
In polarized epithelial cells and hepatocytes, apical and basolateral plasma membrane surfaces are maintained, each displaying a distinct molecular composition. In recent years, it has become apparent that a subapical compartment, referred to as SAC, plays a prominent if not crucial role in the domain-specific sorting and targeting of proteins and lipids that are in dynamic transit between these plasma membrane domains. Although the molecular identity of the traffic-regulating devices is still obscure, the organization of SAC in distinct subcompartments and/or subdomains may well be instrumental to such functions. In this review, we will focus on the potential subcompartmentalization of the SAC in terms of regulation of membrane traffic, on how SAC relates to the endosomal system, and on how this compartment may operate in the context of other intracellular sorting organelles such as the Golgi complex, in generating and maintaining cell polarity.

Abstract
Intracellular parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa contain specialized rhoptry secretory organelles that have a crucial function in host-cell invasion and establishment of the parasitophorous vacuole. Here we show that localization of the Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry protein ROP2 is dependent on a YEQL sequence in the cytoplasmic tail that binds to micro-chain subunits of T. gondii and mammalian adaptors, and conforms to the YXXstraight phi mammalian sorting motif. Chimaeric reporters, containing the transmembrane domains and cytoplasmic tails of the low-density lipoprotein receptor and of Lamp-1, are sorted to the Golgi or the trans-Golgi network (TGN), and partially to apical microneme organelles of the parasite, respectively. Targeting of these reporters is mediated by YXXstraight phi- and NPXY-type signals. This is the first demonstration of tyrosine-dependent sorting in protozoan parasites, indicating that T. gondii proteins may be targeted to, and involved in biogenesis of, morphologically unique organelles through the use of evolutionarily conserved signals and machinery.

Abstract
Acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol O-acyltransferase (ACAT) is the enzyme responsible for cholesterol esterification in macrophages leading to foam cell formation. The determination of its localization is a critical step in understanding its regulation by cholesterol. Using immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy, we previously showed that the enzyme colocalized with markers of the endoplasmic reticulum, but in addition, ACAT was found in an unidentified paranuclear site. In the present study, we further define the localization of paranuclear ACAT. First, we found that ACAT does not colocalize with sorting endosomes or late endosomes labeled with fluorescent alpha(2)-macroglobulin. The paranuclear ACAT is close to the endocytic recycling compartment labeled with fluorescent transferrin. We also show that the paranuclear structure containing ACAT is very close to TGN38, a membrane protein of the trans-Golgi network (TGN), but farther from Gos28, a marker of cis, medial, and trans Golgi. After treatment with nocodazole, the central localization of ACAT did not colocalize with markers of the TGN. These data indicate that a significant fraction of ACAT resides in membranes that may be a subcompartment of the endoplasmic reticulum in proximity to the TGN and the endocytic recycling compartment. Because the TGN and the endocytic recycling compartment are engaged in extensive membrane traffic with the plasma membrane, esterification of cholesterol in these membranes may play an important role in macrophage foam cell formation during atherogenesis.

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

Abstract
Proper cell homeostasis requires the efficient transport of a large variety of soluble acid hydrolases and transmembrane proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to lysosomes. While most of these molecules reach this degradative compartment, some transmembrane proteins, in particular, the acid hydrolase receptors are retrieved to the TGN. This bidirectional transport process involves the formation of several vesicular transport intermediates in which cargo molecules are selectively packaged. This review summarizes our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to the proper targeting of lysosomal proteins.

Abstract
Two endosome populations involved in recycling of membranes and receptors to the plasma membrane have been described, the early and the recycling endosome. However, this distinction is mainly based on the flow of cargo molecules and the spatial distribution of these membranes within the cell. To get insights into the membrane organization of the recycling pathway, we have studied Rab4, Rab5, and Rab11, three regulatory components of the transport machinery. Following transferrin as cargo molecule and GFP-tagged Rab proteins we could show that cargo moves through distinct domains on endosomes. These domains are occupied by different Rab proteins, revealing compartmentalization within the same continuous membrane. Endosomes are comprised of multiple combinations of Rab4, Rab5, and Rab11 domains that are dynamic but do not significantly intermix over time. Three major populations were observed: one that contains only Rab5, a second with Rab4 and Rab5, and a third containing Rab4 and Rab11. These membrane domains display differential pharmacological sensitivity, reflecting their biochemical and functional diversity. We propose that endosomes are organized as a mosaic of different Rab domains created through the recruitment of specific effector proteins, which cooperatively act to generate a restricted environment on the membrane.

Abstract
The vaccinia virus B5R type I integral membrane protein accumulates in the Golgi network, from where it becomes incorporated into the envelope of extracellular virions. Our objective was to determine the domains of B5R responsible for Golgi membrane targeting in the absence of other viral components. Fusion of an enhanced green fluorescent protein to the C terminus of B5R allowed imaging of the chimeric protein without altering intracellular trafficking and Golgi network localization in transfected cells. Deletion or swapping of B5R domains with corresponding regions of the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein, which is targeted to the plasma membrane, indicated that (i) the N-terminal extracellular domain of B5R had no specific role in Golgi apparatus localization, (ii) the transmembrane domain of B5R was sufficient for exiting the endoplasmic reticulum, and (iii) removal of the cytoplasmic tail impaired Golgi network localization and increased the accumulation of B5R in the plasma membrane. Further experiments demonstrated that the cytoplasmic tail mediated internalization of B5R from the plasma membrane, suggesting a retrieval mechanism. Mutagenesis revealed residues required for Golgi membrane localization and efficient plasma membrane retrieval of the B5R protein: a tyrosine at residue 310 and two adjacent leucines at residues 315 and 316.

Abstract
The small GTPase rab4a is associated with early endocytic compartments and regulates receptor recycling from early endosomes. To understand how rab4a mediates its function, we searched for proteins which associate with this GTPase and regulate its activity in endocytic transport. Here we identified rabaptin4, a novel effector molecule of rab4a. Rabaptin4 is homologous with rabaptin5 and contains a C-terminal deletion with respect to rabaptin5. Rabaptin4 preferentially interacts with rab4a-GTP and to a lesser extent with rab5aGTP. We identified a rab4a-binding domain in the N-terminal region of rabaptin4, and two binding sites for rab5, including a novel N-terminal rab5a-binding site. Rabaptin4 is a cytosolic protein that inhibits the intrinsic GTP hydrolysis rate of rab4a and is recruited by rab4a-GTP to recycling endosomes enriched in cellubrevin and internalized indocarbocyanine-3 (Cy3)-labelled transferrin. We propose that rabaptin4 assists in the docking of transport vesicles en route from early endosomes to recycling endosomes.

Abstract
The endocytic trafficking of the GLUT4 glucose transporter and the insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) are regulated by insulin. We have used a chimera between the intracellular domain of IRAP and the extracellular and transmembrane domains of the transferrin receptor (vpTR) to characterize IRAP-like trafficking in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Our data demonstrate that the cytoplasmic domain of IRAP is sufficient to target vpTR to the insulin-regulated, slow recycling pathway in adipocytes and that the dynamic retention of vpTR is dependent on a di-leucine motif. Our kinetic analysis demonstrates that vpTR recycles as a single kinetic pool and that vpTR is very efficiently sorted from endosomes to the insulin-regulated recycling pathway. An implication of these findings is that the key step in the dynamic retention of vpTR occurs within the early endosomal system. We have previously shown that vpTR is trafficked by an insulin-regulated pathway in Chinese hamster ovary cells (Johnson, A. O., Subtil, A., Petrush, R., Kobylarz, K., Keller, S., and Mc Graw, T. E. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 17968-17977). The behavior of vpTR in Chinese hamster ovary cells is similar to its behavior in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The main difference is that insulin has a larger effect on the trafficking of vpTR in the adipocytes. We concluded that the insulin-regulated slow recycling endocytic mechanism is expressed in many different cell types and therefore is not a unique characteristic of cells that express GLUT4.

Abstract
Protein toxins of the Shiga family have become potent tools in studying a number of intracellular transport events such as endocytosis, the communication between endosomes and the biosynthetic/secretory pathway, and retrograde transport from the Golgi apparatus to the endoplasmic reticulum. It seems clear today that most of these transport events can be explained from the toxins' interactions with cellular factors. This review will primarily focus on the discussion of recent data obtained on Shiga toxin and related toxins. We will point out to what extent the study of these proteins has opened new avenues for the development of intracellular targeting tools.

Abstract
Endocytosis is characterized by vesicular transport along numerous pathways. Common steps in each pathway include membrane budding to form vesicles, transport to a particular destination, and ultimately docking and fusion with the target membrane. Specificity of vesicle targeting is rendered in part by associated Rab GTPases. This review summarizes current knowledge about Rab GTPase functions in the endocytic pathways and provides insight into the regulation of Rab GTPase activity and mechanisms of Rab protein function. Functional assays have identified some Rab proteins that operate on individual pathways, but Rab proteins in several pathways remain controversial or have not been identified. Control of Rab GTPase activity is exerted through multiple levels of regulation. Significant new information pertaining to Rab protein function in regulating transport has emerged. Remarkably, Rab5 GTPase links budding, cytoskeletal transport and docking/fusion activities. This paradigm will most likely be generally applicable to other Rab GTPase pathways. Together with the cross-talk between different Rab proteins and their effectors, this may provide an integrated system for the general coordination of endocytic pathways to maintain organelle homeostasis.

Abstract
To identify the targeting domains of syntaxin 6 responsible for its localization to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), we examined the subcellular distribution of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) epitope-tagged syntaxin 6/syntaxin 4 chimerae and syntaxin 6 truncation/deletion mutants in 3T3L1 adipocytes. Expression of EGFP-syntaxin 6 resulted in a perinuclear distribution identical to endogenous syntaxin 6 as determined both by confocal fluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation. Furthermore, both the endogenous and the expressed EGFP-syntaxin 6 fusion protein were localized to a brefeldin A-insensitive but okadaic acid-sensitive compartment characteristic of the TGN. In contrast, EGFP-syntaxin 6 constructs lacking the H2 domain were excluded from the TGN and were instead primarily localized to the plasma membrane. Although syntaxin 4 was localized to the plasma membrane, syntaxin 6/syntaxin 4 chimerae and syntaxin 6 truncations containing the H2 domain of syntaxin 6 were predominantly directed to the TGN. Importantly, the syntaxin 6 H2 domain fused to the transmembrane domain of syntaxin 4 was also localized to the TGN, demonstrating that the H2 domain was sufficient to confer TGN localization. In addition to the H2 domain, a tyrosine-based plasma membrane internalization signal (YGRL) was identified between the H1 and H2 domains of syntaxin 6. Deletion of this sequence resulted in the accumulation of the EGFP-syntaxin 6 reporter construct at the plasma membrane. Together, these data demonstrate that syntaxin 6 utilizes two distinct domains to drive its specific subcellular localization to the TGN.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic domains of retroviral transmembrane (TM) glycoproteins contain conserved sequence motifs that resemble tyrosine-based (YXXO-type) endocytosis signals. We have previously described a mutant Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) Env protein, Env-mu26, with an L165R mutation in the membrane-spanning domain (MSD) of TM, that exhibited dramatically decreased steady-state surface expression (G. L. Davis and E. Hunter, J. Cell Biol. 105:1191-1203, 1987; P. B. Johnston, J. Y. Dong, and E. Hunter, Virology 206:353-361, 1995). We now demonstrate that the tyrosine of the Y(190)RKM motif in the RSV TM cytoplasmic domain is crucial for the mu26 phenotype and is part of an efficient internalization signal in the context of a mutant MSD. In contrast, despite the presence of the Y(190)RKM motif, wild-type RSV Env is constitutively internalized at a slow rate (1.1%/min) more characteristic of bulk uptake during membrane turnover than of active clustering into endocytic vesicles. The mu26 mutation and two MSD mutations that abrogate palmitoylation of TM resulted in enhanced Env endocytosis indicative of active concentration into coated pits. Surprisingly, an Env-Y190A mutant was apparently excluded from coated pits since its uptake rate of 0.3%/min was significantly below that expected for the bulk rate. We suggest that in RSV Env an inherently functional endocytosis motif is silenced by a counteracting determinant in the MSD that acts to prevent clustering of Env into endocytic vesicles. Mutations in either the cytoplasmic tail or the MSD that inactivate one of the two counteracting signals would thus render the remaining determinant dominant.

Abstract
The predominant intracellular localization of the eukaryotic subtilisin-like endoprotease furin is the trans-Golgi network (TGN), but a small fraction is also found on the cell surface. Furin on the cell surface is internalized and delivered to the TGN. The identification of three endocytosis motifs, a tyrosine (YKGL(765)) motif, a leucine-isoleucine (LI(760)) motif, and a phenylalanine (Phe(790)) signal, in the furin cytoplasmic domain suggested that endocytosis of furin occurs via an AP-2/clathrin-dependent pathway. Since little is known about proteins containing multiple sorting components in their cytoplasmic domain, the combination of diverse internalization signals in the furin tail raised the question of their individual role. Here we present data showing that the furin tail interacts with the medium (micro2) subunit of the AP-2 plasma membrane-specific adaptor complex in vitro and that this interaction primarily depends on recognition of the tyrosine-based sorting signal and to less extent on the leucine-isoleucine motif. We further provide evidence that the three endocytosis signals are of different functional importance for furin internalization and retrieval to the TGN in vivo, with the tyrosine-based motif being the major determinant, followed by the phenylalanine signal, whereas the leucine-isoleucine motif is only a minor component. Finally, we report that phosphorylation of the furin tail by casein kinase II is not only important for efficient interaction with micro2 and internalization from the plasma membrane but also determines fast retrieval of the protein from the plasma membrane to the TGN.

Abstract
Rab GTPases are associated with distinct cellular compartments and function as specific regulators of intracellular transport. In the endocytic pathway, it is well documented that Rab5 regulates transport from plasma membrane to early (sorting) endosomes. In contrast, little is known about the precise localization and function of Rab4 and Rab11, which are believed to control endocytic recycling. In the present study we have analysed the protein composition of Rab5- and Rab11-carrying endosomes to gain further insight into the compartmental organization of the endocytic and recycling pathway. Endosome populations of this transport route were purified by immunoadsorption from endosome-enriched subcellular fractions using antibodies directed against the cytoplasmic tail of the transferrin receptor, Rab5 or Rab11. Endocytosed transferrin moved sequentially through compartments that could be immunoadsorbed with anti-Rab5 and anti-Rab11, consistent with the theory that Rab5 and Rab11 localise to sorting and recycling endosomes, respectively. These compartments exhibited morphological differences, as determined by electron microscopy. Although their overall protein compositions were very similar, some proteins were found to be selectively enriched. While Rab4 was present on all endosome populations, Rab5 and Rab11 were strikingly segregated. Furthermore, the Rab11-positive endosomes were rich in annexin II, actin and the t-SNARE syntaxin 13, compared to Rab5-containing endosomes. In an in vitro assay, the Rab5 effector protein EEA1 was preferentially recruited by Rab5-positive endosomes. Taken together, our data suggest an organization of the transferrin pathway into distinct Rab5- and Rab11-positive compartments.

Abstract
The MAL proteolipid is a nonglycosylated integral membrane protein found in glycolipid-enriched membrane microdomains. In polarized epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, MAL is necessary for normal apical transport and accurate sorting of the influenza virus hemagglutinin. MAL is thus part of the integral machinery for glycolipid-enriched membrane-mediated apical transport. At steady state, MAL is predominantly located in perinuclear vesicles that probably arise from the trans-Golgi network (TGN). To act on membrane traffic and to prevent their accumulation in the target compartment, integral membrane elements of the protein-sorting machinery should be itinerant proteins that cycle between the donor and target compartments. To establish whether MAL is an itinerant protein, we engineered the last extracellular loop of MAL by insertion of sequences containing the FLAG epitope or with sequences containing residues that became O-glycosylated within the cells or that displayed biotinylatable groups. The ectopic expression of these modified MAL proteins allowed us to investigate the surface expression of MAL and its movement through different compartments after internalization with the use of a combination of assays, including surface biotinylation, surface binding of anti-FLAG antibodies, neuraminidase sensitivity, and drug treatments. Immunofluorescence and flow cytometric analyses indicated that, in addition to its Golgi localization, MAL was also expressed on the cell surface, from which it was rapidly internalized. This retrieval implies transport through the endosomal pathway and requires endosomal acidification, because it can be inhibited by drugs such as chloroquine, monensin, and NH(4)Cl. Resialylation experiments of surface MAL treated with neuraminidase indicated that approximately 30% of the internalized MAL molecules were delivered to the TGN, probably to start a new cycle of cargo transport. Together, these observations suggest that, as predicted for integral membrane members of the late protein transport machinery, MAL is an itinerant protein cycling between the TGN and the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates adipose cells both to secrete proteins and to translocate the GLUT4 glucose transporter from an intracellular compartment to the plasma membrane. We demonstrate that whereas insulin stimulation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes has no effect on secretion of the alpha3 chain of type VI collagen, secretion of the protein hormone adipocyte complement related protein of 30 kD (ACRP30) is markedly enhanced. Like GLUT4, regulated exocytosis of ACRP30 appears to require phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase activity, since insulin-stimulated ACRP30 secretion is blocked by pharmacologic inhibitors of this enzyme. Thus, 3T3-L1 adipocytes possess a regulated secretory compartment containing ACRP30. Whether GLUT4 recycles to such a compartment has been controversial. We present deconvolution immunofluorescence microscopy data demonstrating that the subcellular distributions of ACRP30 and GLUT4 are distinct and nonoverlapping; in contrast, those of GLUT4 and the transferrin receptor overlap. Together with supporting evidence that GLUT4 does not recycle to a secretory compartment via the trans-Golgi network, we conclude that there are at least two compartments that undergo insulin-stimulated exocytosis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes: one for ACRP30 secretion and one for GLUT4 translocation.

Abstract
Rab GTPases comprise a large family of monomeric proteins that regulate a diverse number of membrane trafficking events, including endocytosis. In this paper, we examine the subcellular distribution and function of the GTPase Rab15. Our biochemical and confocal immunofluorescence studies demonstrate that Rab15 associates with the transferrin receptor, a marker for the early endocytic pathway, but not with Rab7 or the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor, markers for late endosomal membranes. Furthermore, Rab15 colocalizes with Rab4 and -5 on early/sorting endosomes, as well as Rab11 on pericentriolar recycling endosomes. Consistent with its localization to early endosomal membranes, overexpression of the constitutively active mutant HArab15Q67L reduces receptor-mediated and fluid phase endocytosis. Therefore, our functional studies suggest that Rab15 may function as an inhibitory GTPase in early endocytic trafficking.

Abstract
Furin and TGN38 are menbrane proteins that cycle between the plasma membrane and the trans-Golgi network (TGN), each maintaining a predominant distribution in the TGN. We have used chimeric proteins with an extracellular Tac domain and the cytoplasmic domain of TGN38 or furin to study the trafficking of these proteins in endosomes. Previously, we demonstrated that the postendocytic trafficking of Tac-TGN38 to the TGN is via the endocytic recycling pathway (Ghosh, R.N.,W.G. Mallet,T.T. Soe,T.E.McGraw, and F.R. Maxfield.1998.J. Cell Biol.142:923-936). Here we show that internalized Tac-furin is delivered to the TGN through late endosomes, bypassing the endocytic recycling compartment. The transport of Tac-furin from late endosomes to the TGN appears to proceed via an efficient, single-pass mechanism. Delivery of Tac-furin but not Tac-TGN38 to the TGN is blocked by nocodazole, and the two pathways are also differentially affected by wortmannin. These studies demonstrate the existence of two independentpathways for endosomal transport of proteins to the TGN from the plasma membrane.

Abstract
It has been proposed that killing of mammalian cells by ricin requires efficient endocytic delivery to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) prior to retrograde transport to the endoplasmic reticulum and entry to the cytosol. In polarized epithelial cells, an efficient membrane-traffic pathway to the TGN is present from the basolateral but not the apical plasma-membrane domain. Thus one can hypothesize that a ricin-resistant phenotype might be demonstrated by polarized cells that fail to differentiate and thus fail to develop an efficient membrane-traffic pathway from the basolateral plasma membrane to the TGN. We have isolated and studied a ricin-resistant Caco-2 cell clone (Caco-2-RCAr clone 2) which, when grown on plastic, was deficient in differentiation, measured by the development of polarized-cell-surface marker enzymes. The deficiency in differentiation was partially reversed, and ricin sensitivity was restored, when the cells were grown on filter supports. Our data provide the first evidence of a ricin-resistant cell line where resistance is due to the lack of development of polarized cell surfaces. The observed ricin resistance is consistent with the requirement that ricin is delivered to the TGN before its A chain enters the cytosol to mediate cell killing.

Abstract
The plant toxin ricin has proven valuable as a membrane marker in studies of endocytosis as well as studies of different intracellular transport steps. The toxin, which consists of two polypeptide chains, binds by one chain (the B-chain) to both glycolipids and glycoproteins with terminal galactose at the cell surface. The other chain (the A-chain) enters the cytosol and inhibits protein synthesis enzymatically. After binding the toxin is endocytosed by different mechanisms, and it is transported via endosomes to the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum before translocation of the A-chain to the cytosol. The different transport steps have been analyzed by studying trafficking of ricin as well as modified ricin molecules.

Abstract
The excessive generation and accumulation of 40- and 42-aa beta-amyloid peptides (Abeta40/Abeta42) in selectively vulnerable brain regions is a major neuropathological feature of Alzheimer's disease. Abeta, derived by proteolytic cleavage from the beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP), is normally secreted. However, recent evidence suggests that significant levels of Abeta also may remain inside cells. Here, we have investigated the subcellular compartments within which distinct amyloid species are generated and the compartments from which they are secreted. Three experimental approaches were used: (i) immunofluorescence performed in intact cortical neurons; (ii) sucrose gradient fractionation performed with mouse neuroblastoma cells stably expressing wild-type betaAPP695 (N2a695); and (iii) cell-free reconstitution of Abeta generation and trafficking from N2a695 cells. These studies demonstrate that: (i) Abeta40 (Abeta1-40 plus Abetax-40, where x is an NH2-terminal truncation) is generated exclusively within the trans-Golgi Network (TGN) and packaged into post-TGN secretory vesicles; (ii) Abetax-42 is made and retained within the endoplasmic reticulum in an insoluble state; (iii) Abeta42 (Abeta1-42 plus Abetax-42) is made in the TGN and packaged into secretory vesicles; and (iv) the amyloid peptides formed in the TGN consist of two pools (a soluble population extractable with detergents and a detergent-insoluble form). The identification of the organelles in which distinct forms of Abeta are generated and from which they are secreted should facilitate the identification of the proteolytic enzymes responsible for their formation.
