Abstract
The 3beta-(2-diethylaminoethoxy)-androstenone HCl (U18666A), progesterone and several cationic amphiphilic drugs have been shown to alter the trafficking of a number of intracellular membrane proteins including CD63/Lamp-3, insulin growth factor 2/mannose 6-phosphate receptor (IGF2/MPR), and the Niemann-Pick C1 gene product (NPC1) as well as ganglioside GM1. We have examined the effects of these compounds on cultured melanocytes at concentrations that have been shown to effectively alter intracellular trafficking. Treatment of melanocytes with U18666A (2.5 micro M) or progesterone (15 micro M) for 96 h decreased melanin content an average of 67% as compared with control without lowering the total cellular tyrosinase activity. Steroidal alkaloids that preferentially act on the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway showed no related specificity in their ability to decrease pigmentation. In melanocytes treated with U18666A, tyrosinase accumulates in a compartment that contains both lysosome-associated membrane protein-1 (Lamp 1) and MPR, and stains with filipin, consistent with cholesterol-laden late endosomes/lysosomes. Our results suggest that tyrosinase, like the NPC1 gene product, traverses a U18666A-sensitive trafficking pathway.

Abstract
The endocytic pathway receives cargo from the cell surface via endocytosis, biosynthetic cargo from the late Golgi complex, and various molecules from the cytoplasm via autophagy. This review focuses on the dynamics of the endocytic pathway in relationship to these processes and covers new information about the sorting events and molecular complexes involved. The following areas are discussed: dynamics at the plasma membrane, sorting within early endosomes and recycling to the cell surface, the role of the cytoskeleton, transport to late endosomes and sorting into multivesicular bodies, anterograde and retrograde Golgi transport, as well as the autophagic pathway.

Abstract
Many viruses take advantage of receptor-mediated endocytosis in order to enter target cells. We have utilized influenza virus and Semliki Forest virus (SFV) to define a role for protein kinase C betaII (PKCbetaII) in endocytic trafficking. We show that specific PKC inhibitors prevent influenza virus infection, suggesting a role for classical isoforms of PKC. We also examined virus entry in cells overexpressing dominant-negative forms of PKCalpha and -beta. Cells expressing a phosphorylation-deficient form of PKCbetaII (T500V), but not an equivalent mutant form of PKCalpha, inhibited successful influenza virus entry-with the virus accumulating in late endosomes. SFV, however, believed to enter cells from the early endosome, was unaffected by PKCbetaII T500V expression. We also examined the trafficking of two cellular ligands, transferrin and epidermal growth factor (EGF). PKCbetaII T500V expression specifically blocked EGF receptor trafficking and degradation, without affecting transferrin receptor recycling. As with influenza virus, in PKCbetaII kinase-dead cells, EGF receptor was trapped in a late endosome compartment. Our findings suggest that PKCbetaII is an important regulator of a late endosomal sorting event needed for influenza virus entry and infection.

Abstract
Immature dendritic cells efficiently capture exogenous antigens in peripheral tissues. In an inflammatory environment, dendritic cells are activated and become highly competent antigen-presenting cells. Upon activation, they lose their ability for efficient endocytosis and gain capability to migrate to secondary lymphoid organs. In addition, peptide loading of MHC class II molecules is enhanced and MHC class II/peptide complexes are redistributed from an intracellular location to the plasma membrane. Using immuno-electron microscopy, we show that activation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells induced striking modifications of the lysosomal multilaminar MHC class II compartments (MIICs), whereby electron-dense tubules and vesicles emerged from these compartments. Importantly, we observed that MHC class II expression in these tubules/vesicles transiently increased, while multilaminar MIICs showed a strongly reduced labeling of MHC class II molecules. This suggests that formation of the tubules/vesicles from multilaminar MIICs could be linked to transport of MHC class II from these compartments to the cell surface. Further characterization of endocytic organelles with lysosomal marker proteins, such as the novel dendritic cell-specific lysosomal protein DC-LAMP, HLA-DM and CD68, revealed differential sorting of these markers to the tubules and vesicles.

Abstract
Very little is known about the biophysical properties and the lipid or protein composition of membrane domains presumably present in endocytic and biosynthetic organelles. Here we analyzed the membrane composition of late endosomes by suborganellar fractionation in the absence of detergent. We found that the internal membranes of this multivesicular organelle can be separated from the limiting membrane and that each membrane population exhibited a defined composition. Our data also indicated that internal membranes may consist of at least two populations, containing primarily phosphatidylcholine or lysobisphosphatidic acid as major phospholipid, arguing for the existence of significant microheterogeneity within late endosomal membranes. We also found that lysobisphosphatidic acid exhibited unique pH-dependent fusogenic properties, and we speculated that this lipid is an ideal candidate to regulate the dynamic properties of this internal membrane mosaic.

Abstract
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are ubiquitous endocytic organelles containing numerous 50-80 nm vesicles. MVBs are very dynamic in shape and function. In antigen presenting cells (APCs), MVBs play a central role in the loading of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) with antigenic peptides. How MHC II is transported from MVBs to the cell surface is only partly understood. One way involves direct fusion of MVBs with the plasma membrane. As a consequence, their internal vesicles are secreted as so-called exosomes. An alternative has been illustrated in maturing dendritic cells (DCs). Here, MVBs are reshaped into long tubules by back fusion of the internal vesicles with the MVB limiting membrane. Vesicles derived from the tips of these tubules then carry MHC II to the cell surface.

Abstract
Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs) are the lysosome-related secretory organelles of endothelial cells. Their content protein von Willebrand factor, plays a key role in haemostasis, whilst P-selectin in the membranes is critical in the initiation of inflammation. Biogenesis of these rod-shaped structures is driven by von Willebrand factor, since its heterologous expression leads to formation of organelles morphologically indistinguishable from bona fide WPBs. The two main membrane proteins of WPBs, CD63 and P-selectin, have complex itineraries controlled largely by cytoplasmic targeting signals. We are only just beginning to understand the way in which these three proteins come together to form mature WPBs.

Abstract
Multivesicular endosomes (MVEs) are complex intracellular organelles that function in endocytosis. A major function of the endocytic pathway is to sort internalized macromolecules and membrane proteins. Appropriately sorted proteins, such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR), are incorporated into MVEs before transport to the lysosomal compartment, where degradation occurs. Thus, MVEs operate in the endosome-to-lysosome portion of the pathway. In yeast cells, where MVE formation has been extensively studied, the pathway terminates in the yeast vacuole, which is equivalent to the vertebrate lysosome. MVEs arise by invagination of the limiting membrane of an endosomal vesicle such that many small internal vesicles are formed, hence the term "multivesicular endosome." In part, the internalization and targeting of membrane proteins to the MVE involves ubiquitin, a small protein associated with protein degradation. In reticulocytes and certain antigen-presenting cells, MVEs are routed to the plasma membrane rather than the lysosome, releasing small vesicles called "exosomes" back into the extracellular space.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signal transduction involves the ligand binding Patched1 (Ptc1) protein and a signaling component, Smoothened (Smo). A select group of compounds inhibits both Shh signaling, regulated by Ptc1, and late endosomal lipid sorting, regulated by the Ptc-related Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein. This suggests that Ptc1 regulates Smo activity through a common late endosomal sorting pathway also utilized by NPC1. During signaling, Ptc accumulates in endosomal compartments, but it is unclear if Smo follows Ptc into the endocytic pathway. RESULTS We characterized the dynamic subcellular distributions of Ptc1, Smo, and activated Smo mutants individually and in combination. Ptc1 and Smo colocalize extensively in the absence of ligand and are internalized together after ligand binding, but Smo becomes segregated from Ptc1/Shh complexes destined for lysosomal degradation. In contrast, activated Smo mutants do not colocalize with nor are cotransported with Ptc1. Agents that block late endosomal transport and protein sorting inhibit the ligand-induced segregation of Ptc1 and Smo. We show that, like NPC1-regulated lipid sorting, Shh signal transduction is blocked by antibodies that specifically disrupt the internal membranes of late endosomes, which provide a platform for protein and lipid sorting. CONCLUSIONS These data support a model in which Ptc1 inhibits Smo only when in the same compartment. Ligand-induced segregation allows Smo to signal independently of Ptc1 after becoming sorted from Ptc1/Shh complexes in the late endocytic pathway.

Abstract
The tetraspanin CD63 (also known as LAMP-3) has been implicated in phagocytic and intracellular lysosome-phagosome fusion events. It is also present in eosinophils, with predominant expression on crystalloid granule membrane. However, its role in eosinophil function is obscure. We hypothesized that CD63 is associated with intracellular events involved in eosinophil activation and mediator release. We used a combination of confocal immunofluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and secretion assays, including beta-hexosaminidase, eosinophil peroxidase, and RANTES, to examine CD63 expression, intracellular localization, and its association with cell activation and mediator release. In resting eosinophils, CD63 immunoreactivity was localized to plasma and crystalloid granule membranes. In interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)- or C5a/CB-stimulated cells (10 minutes), intracellular CD63 appeared to shift to the cell periphery and plasma membrane, while stimulation with a cocktail of interleukin-3 (IL-3)/IL-5/granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor induced the appearance of discrete intracellular clusters of CD63 immunoreactivity. IFN-gamma induced mobilization of CD63 to the cell periphery, which coincided with selective mobilization of RANTES prior to its release, implying CD63 association with piecemeal degranulation. Agonist-induced CD63 mobilization and cell surface up-regulation was associated with beta-hexosaminidase, eosinophil peroxidase, and RANTES release. Dexamethasone as well as genistein (a broad-spectrum inhibitor of tyrosine kinases) inhibited agonist-induced intracellular mobilization of CD63 and RANTES together with cell surface up-regulation of CD63 and mediator release. This is the first report of an association between CD63 mobilization and agonist-induced selective mediator release, which may imply the involvement of CD63 in eosinophil activation and piecemeal degranulation.

Abstract
We report that lipids contribute to regulate the bidirectional motility of late endocytic compartments. Late endocytic vesicles loaded with cholesterol lose their dynamic properties, and become essentially immobile, including in cells from Niemann-Pick C patients. These vesicles then retain cytoplasmic dynein activity, but seem to be unable to acquire kinesin activity, eventually leading to paralysis. Our data suggest that this defect depends on the small GTPase Rab7, since the motility of vesicles loaded with cholesterol can be restored by the Rab7 inhibitory mutant N125I. Conversely, wild-type Rab7 overexpression mimics the effects of cholesterol on motility in control cells. Consistently, cholesterol accumulation increases the amounts of membrane-associated Rab7, and inhibits Rab7 membrane extraction by the guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor. Our observations thus indicate that cholesterol contributes to regulate the Rab7 cycle, and that Rab7 in turn controls the net movement of late endocytic elements. We conclude that motor functions can be regulated by the membrane lipid composition via the Rab7 cycle.

Abstract
Intracellular signaling relies on the orchestrated cooperation of signaling proteins and modules, their intracellular localization, and membrane trafficking. Recently, a repertoire of fluorescence-based techniques, which significantly increases our potential for detailed studies of the involved mechanisms, has been introduced. Microscopic techniques with increased resolution have been combined with improved techniques for detection of signaling proteins. Transfections of fluorescently tagged proteins have allowed in vivo microscopy of their trafficking and interactions with other proteins and intracellular structures. We present an overview of general signaling principles and a description of techniques based on fluorescent microscopy suited for studies of signaling mechanisms.

Abstract
CD63 is a lysosomal membrane protein that belongs to the tetraspanin family. Its carboxyterminal cytoplasmic tail sequence contains the lysosomal targeting motif GYEVM. Strong, tyrosine-dependent interaction of the wild-type carboxyterminal tail of CD63 with the AP-3 adaptor subunit mu 3 was observed using a yeast two-hybrid system. The strength of interaction of mutated tail sequences with mu 3 correlated with the degree of lysosomal localization of similarly mutated human CD63 molecules in stably transfected normal rat kidney cells. Mutated CD63 containing the cytosolic tail sequence GYEVI, which interacted strongly with mu 3 but not at all with mu 2 in the yeast two-hybrid system, localized to lysosomes in transfected normal rat kidney and NIH-3T3 cells. In contrast, it localized to the cell surface in transfected cells of pearl and mocha mice, which have genetic defects in genes encoding subunits of AP-3, but to lysosomes in functionally rescued mocha cells expressing the delta subunit of AP-3. Thus, AP-3 is absolutely required for the delivery of this mutated CD63 to lysosomes. Using this AP-3-dependent mutant of CD63, we have shown that AP-3 functions in membrane traffic from the trans-Golgi network to lysosomes via an intracellular route that appears to bypass early endosomes.

Abstract
In transformed mouse fibroblasts, a significant proportion of the lysosomal cysteine protease cathepsin L remains in cells as an inactive precursor which associates with membranes by a mannose phosphate-independent interaction. When microsomes prepared from these cells were resolved on sucrose gradients, this procathepsin L was localized in dense vesicles distinct from those enriched for growth hormone, which is secreted constitutively when expressed in fibroblasts. Ultrastructural studies using antibodies directed against the propeptide to avoid detection of the mature enzyme in lysosomes revealed that the proenzyme was concentrated in dense cores within small vesicles and multivesicular endosomes which labeled with antibodies specific for CD63. Consistent with the resemblance of these cores to those of regulated secretory granules, secretion of procathepsin L from fibroblasts was modestly stimulated by phorbol, 12-myristate, 13-acetate. When protein synthesis was blocked with cycloheximide and lysosomal proteolysis inhibited with leupeptin, procathepsin L was found to gradually convert to the active single-chain protease. The data suggest that when synthesis levels are high, a portion of the procathepsin L is packaged in dense cores within multivesicular endosomes localized near the plasma membrane. Gradual activation of this proenzyme achieves targeting of the proenzyme to lysosomes by a mannose phosphate receptor-independent pathway.

Abstract
Late endosomes accumulate internal membranes within the lumen of the organelle. These internal membranes are enriched in the late endosome specific phospholipid, lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA). The organization of LBPA-rich membrane domains is not well characterized. Using an LBPA-specific monoclonal antibody (6C4), we show that these membrane domains are not accessible from the cytoplasm. Using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, we also show that 6C4 only binds sonicated, but not intact, late endosomes, presumably reflecting the release of internal membranes upon endosome rupture.

Abstract
Melanosomes are tissue-specific organelles within which melanin is synthesized and stored. The melanocyte-specific glycoprotein Pmel17 is enriched in the lumen of premelanosomes, where it associates with characteristic striations of unknown composition upon which melanin is deposited. However, Pmel17 is synthesized as an integral membrane protein. To clarify its physical linkage to premelanosomes, we analyzed the posttranslational processing of human Pmel17 in pigmented and transfected nonpigmented cells. We show that Pmel17 is cleaved in a post-Golgi compartment into two disulfide-linked subunits: a large lumenal subunit, M alpha, and an integral membrane subunit, M beta. The two subunits remain associated intracellularly, indicating that detectable M alpha remains membrane bound. We have previously shown that Pmel17 accumulates on intralumenal membrane vesicles and striations of premelanosomes in pigmented cells. In transfected nonpigmented cells Pmel17 associates with the intralumenal membrane vesicles of multivesicular bodies; cells overexpressing Pmel17 also display structures resembling premelanosomal striations within these compartments. These results suggest that Pmel17 is sufficient to drive the formation of striations from within multivesicular bodies and is thus directly involved in the biogenesis of premelanosomes.

Abstract
Melanosomes are morphologically and functionally unique organelles within which melanin pigments are synthesized and stored. Melanosomes share some characteristics with lysosomes, but can be distinguished from them in many ways. The biogenesis and intracellular movement of melanosomes and related organelles are disrupted in several genetic disorders in mice and humans. The recent characterization of genes defective in these diseases has reinvigorated interest in the melanosome as a model system for understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie intracellular membrane dynamics.

Abstract
Organelles in the endocytic pathway are composed of a mosaic of structural and functional regions. These regions consist, at least in part, of specialized protein-lipid domains within the plane of the membrane, or of protein complexes associated with specific membrane lipids. Whereas some of these molecular assemblies can be found in more than one compartment, a given combination seems to be unique to each compartment, indicating that membrane organization might be modular.

Abstract
Immunofluorescence and electron microscopy were used to evaluate the formation of swollen endosomes in NRK cells after treatment with wortmannin or sucrose and to study the relationship between lumenal and limiting membrane. Both treatments resulted in the formation of two populations of swollen late endocytic vacuoles, positive for lysosomal glycoproteins or cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptors, but those induced by wortmannin were characterised by time-dependent accumulation of lumenal vesicles, whereas those induced by sucrose uptake did not accumulate lumenal vesicles. In both cases, the distribution of the late endosomal marker, lysobisphosphatidic acid, remained unchanged and was present within the lumen of the swollen vacuoles. Consumption of plasma membrane and peripheral early endosomes, and the appearance of transferrin receptors in swollen late endosomes, indicated that continued membrane influx from early endocytic compartments, together with inhibition of membrane traffic out of the swollen compartments, is sufficient to account for the observed phenotype of cells treated with wortmannin. The accumulation of organelles with the characteristic morphology of endocytic carrier vesicles in cells that have taken up sucrose offers an explanation for the paucity of lumenal vesicles in swollen sucrosomes. Our data suggest that in fibroblast cells the swollen endosome phenotype induced by wortmannin is a consequence of endocytic membrane influx, coupled with the failure to recycle membrane to other cellular destinations, and not the inhibition of multivesicular body biogenesis.

Abstract
Late endosomes, which have the morphological characteristics of multivesicular bodies, have received relatively little attention in comparison with early endosomes and lysosomes. Recent work in mammalian and yeast cells has given insights into their structure and function, including the generation of their multivesicular morphology. Lipid partitioning to create microdomains enriched in specific lipids is observed in late endosomes, with some lumenal vesicles enriched in lysobisphosphatidic acid and others in phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. Sorting of membrane proteins into the lumenal vesicles may occur because of the properties of their trans-membrane domains, or as a result of tagging with ubiquitin. Yeast class E Vps proteins and their mammalian orthologs are the best candidates to make up the protein machinery that controls inward budding, a process that starts in early endosomes. Late endosomes are able to undergo homotypic fusion events and also heterotypic fusion with lysosomes, a process that delivers endocytosed macromolecules for proteolytic degradation.

Abstract
Fas ligand (FasL) induces apoptosis through its cell surface receptor Fas. T lymphocytes and natural killer cells sort newly synthesised FasL to secretory lysosomes but, in cell types with conventional lysosomes, FasL appears directly on the plasma membrane. Here, we define a proline-rich domain (PRD) in the cytoplasmic tail of FasL that is responsible for sorting FasL to secretory lysosomes. Deletion of this PRD results in cell surface expression of FasL in cells with secretory lysosomes. Positively charged residues flanking the PRD are crucial to the sorting motif and changing the charge of these residues causes mis-sorting to the plasma membrane. In cells with conventional lysosomes, this motif is not recognised and FasL is expressed at the plasma membrane. The FasL PRD is not required for endocytosis in any cell type, as deletion mutants lacking this motif are endocytosed efficiently to the lysosomal compartment. Endogenous FasL cannot internalise extracellular antibody, demonstrating that FasL does not transit the plasma membrane en route to the secretory lysosomes. We propose that an interaction of the PRD of FasL with an SH3-domain-containing protein, enables direct sorting of FasL from the Golgi to secretory lysosomes.

Abstract
How the occupied KDEL receptor ERD2 is sorted into COPI vesicles for Golgi-to-ER transport is largely unknown. Here, interactions between proteins of the COPI transport machinery occurring during a "wave" of transport of a KDEL ligand were studied in living cells. FRET between CFP and YFP fusion proteins was measured by multifocal multiphoton microscopy and bulk-cell spectrofluorimetry. Ligand binding induces oligomerization of ERD2 and recruitment of ARFGAP to the Golgi, where the (ERD2)n/ARFGAP complex interacts with membrane-bound ARF1. During KDEL ligand transport, interactions of ERD2 with beta-COP and p23 decrease and the proteins segregate. Both p24a and p23 interact with ARF1, but only p24 interacts with ARFGAP. These findings suggest a model for how cargo-induced oligomerization of ERD2 regulates its sorting into COPI-coated buds.

Abstract
P-selectin, a cell adhesion protein participating in the early stages of inflammation, contains multiple sorting signals that regulate its cell surface expression. Targeting to secretory granules regulates delivery of P-selectin to the cell surface. Internalization followed by sorting from early to late endosomes mediates rapid removal of P-selectin from the surface. We show here that the P-selectin cytoplasmic domain bound AP-2 and AP-3 adaptor complexes in vitro. The amino acid substitution L768A, which abolishes endosomal sorting and impairs granule targeting of P-selectin, reduced binding of AP-3 adaptors but not AP-2 adaptors. Turnover of P-selectin was 2.4-fold faster than turnover of transferrin receptor in AP-3-deficient mocha fibroblasts, similar to turnover of these two proteins in AP-3-competent cells, demonstrating that AP-3 function is not required for endosomal sorting. However, sorting P-selectin to secretory granules was defective in endothelial cells from AP-3-deficient pearl mice, demonstrating a role for AP-3 adaptors in granule assembly in endothelial cells. P-selectin sorting to platelet alpha-granules was normal in pearl mice, consistent with earlier evidence that granule targeting of P-selectin is mechanistically distinct in endothelial cells and platelets. These observations establish that AP-3 adaptor functions in assembly of conventional secretory granules, in addition to lysosomes and the 'lysosome-like' secretory granules of platelets and melanocytes.

Abstract
Genes encoding chemokine receptor-like proteins have been found in herpes and poxviruses and implicated in viral pathogenesis. Here we describe the cellular distribution and trafficking of a human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) chemokine receptor encoded by the US28 gene, after transient and stable expression in transfected HeLa and Cos cells. Immunofluorescence staining indicated that this viral protein accumulated intracellularly in vesicular structures in the perinuclear region of the cell and showed overlap with markers for endocytic organelles. By immunogold electron microscopy US28 was seen mostly to localize to multivesicular endosomes. A minor portion of the protein (at most 20%) was also expressed at the cell surface. Antibody-feeding experiments indicated that cell surface US28 undergoes constitutive ligand-independent endocytosis. Biochemical analysis with the use of iodinated ligands showed that US28 was rapidly internalized. The high-affinity ligand of US28, the CX(3)C-chemokine fractalkine, reduced the steady-state levels of US28 at the cell surface, apparently by inhibiting the recycling of internalized receptor. Endocytosis and cycling of HCMV US28 could play a role in the sequestration of host chemokines, thereby modulating antiviral immune responses. In addition, the distribution of US28 mainly on endosomal membranes may allow it to be incorporated into the viral envelope during HCMV assembly.

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
Recent literature suggests that tetraspanin proteins (transmembrane 4 superfamily; TM4SF proteins) may associate with each other and with many other transmembrane proteins to form large complexes that sometimes may be found in lipid rafts. Here we show that prototype complexes of CD9 or CD81 (TM4SF proteins) with alpha(3)beta(1) (an integrin) and complexes of CD63 (a TM4SF protein) with phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PtdIns 4-K) may indeed localize within lipid raft-like microdomains, as seen by three different criteria. First, these complexes localize to low density light membrane fractions in sucrose gradients. Second, CD9 and alpha(3) integrin colocalized with ganglioside GM1 as seen by double staining of fixed cells. Third, CD9-alpha3beta1 and CD81-alpha3beta1 complexes were shifted to a higher density upon cholesterol depletion from intact cells or cell lysate. However, CD9-alpha3beta1, CD81-alpha3beta1, and CD63-PtdIns 4-K complex formation itself was not dependent on localization into raftlike lipid microdomains. These complexes did not require cholesterol for stabilization, were maintained within well solubilized dense fractions from sucrose gradients, were stable at 37 degrees C, and were small enough to be included within CL6B gel filtration columns. In summary, prototype TM4SF protein complexes (CD9-alpha3beta1, CD81-alpha3beta1, and CD63-PtdIns 4-K) can be solubilized as discrete units, independent of lipid microdomains, although they do associate with microdomains resembling lipid rafts.

Abstract
A number of recent studies have highlighted the importance of lipid domains within endocytic organelles in the sorting and movement of integral membrane proteins. In particular, considerable attention has become focussed upon the role of the unusual phospholipid lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA). This lipid appears to be directly involved in the trafficking of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids, and accumulates in a number of lysosomal storage disorders. Antibody-mediated disruption of LBPA function also leads to mis-sorting of cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptors. We now report that the converse is also true, and that spontaneous loss of cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptors from a rat fibroblast cell line led to the formation of aberrant late endocytic structures enriched in LBPA. Accumulation of LBPA was directly dependent upon the loss of the receptors, and could be reversed by expression of bovine cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptors in the mutant cell line. Ultrastructural analysis indicated that the abnormal organelles were electron-dense, had a multi-lamellar structure, accumulated endocytosed probes, and were distinct from dense-core lysosomes present within the same cells. The late endocytic structures present at steady state within any particular cell likely reflect the balance of membrane traffic through the endocytic pathway of that cell, and the rate of maturation of individual endocytic organelles. Moreover, there is considerable evidence which suggests that cargo receptors also play a direct mechanistic role in membrane trafficking events. Therefore, loss of such a protein may disturb the overall equilibrium of the pathway, and hence cause the accumulation of aberrant organelles. We propose that this mechanism underlies the phenotype of the mutant cell line, and that the formation of inclusion bodies in many lysosomal storage diseases is also due to an imbalance in membrane trafficking within the endocytic pathway.

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
Weibel-Palade bodies, the secretory granules of endothelial cells, possess two different membrane proteins. However, P-selectin is seen only in Weibel-Palade bodies in HUVECs, whereas CD63 is also seen in late endosomes/lysosomes. Since P-selectin is targeted to lysosomes in heterologous expression studies, we have determined whether a lysosomal targeting signal also operates within HUVECs. We have also examined the trafficking of CD63 to its two different intracellular locations. By following antibodies bound at the plasma membrane during stimulation, we have discovered that while half of the P-selectin recycles to the WPBs, 50% is rapidly delivered to a lamp-1-positive compartment. Thus, the lysosomal targeting signal of this protein also operates in HUVECs. CD63 is found constitutively at the cell surface of HUVECs and most of it is delivered to the late endosomes/lysosomes after internalisation. However, stimulation causes both a rise in the CD63 plasma membrane level and in the amount that recycles to the WPBs. Our data strongly suggest that the CD63 that originates in the WPB preferentially recycles to the granule rather than being delivered to the late endosome/lysosome, and that there are, therefore, two separate pools of this protein within HUVECs. Our findings indicate that although P-selectin and CD63 are both targeted to the same compartments from the PM, the kinetics and the ratio of their targeting to Weibel-Palade bodies versus lysosomes are very different.

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
How vesicular transport participates in neurite outgrowth is still poorly understood. Neurite outgrowth is not sensitive to tetanus neurotoxin thus does not involve synaptobrevin-mediated vesicular transport to the plasma membrane of neurons. Tetanus neurotoxin-insensitive vesicle-associated membrane protein (TI-VAMP) is a vesicle-SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein [NSF] attachment protein [SNAP] receptor), involved in transport to the apical plasma membrane in epithelial cells, a tetanus neurotoxin-resistant pathway. Here we show that TI-VAMP is essential for vesicular transport-mediating neurite outgrowth in staurosporine-differentiated PC12 cells. The NH(2)-terminal domain, which precedes the SNARE motif of TI-VAMP, inhibits the association of TI-VAMP with synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kD (SNAP25). Expression of this domain inhibits neurite outgrowth as potently as Botulinum neurotoxin E, which cleaves SNAP25. In contrast, expression of the NH(2)-terminal deletion mutant of TI-VAMP increases SNARE complex formation and strongly stimulates neurite outgrowth. These results provide the first functional evidence for the role of TI-VAMP in neurite outgrowth and point to its NH(2)-terminal domain as a key regulator in this process.

Abstract
Detergent insoluble sphingolipid-cholesterol enriched 'raft'-like membrane microdomains have been implicated in a variety of biological processes including sorting, trafficking, and signaling. Mutant cells and knockout animals of sphingolipid biosynthesis are clearly useful to understand the biological roles of lipid components in raft-like domains. It is suggested that raft-like domains distribute in internal vacuolar membranes as well as plasma membranes. In addition to sphingolipid-cholesterol-rich membrane domains, recent studies suggest the existence of another lipid-membrane domain in the endocytic pathway. This domain is enriched with a unique phospholipid, lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) and localized in the internal membrane of multivesicular endosome. LBPA-rich membrane domains are involved in lipid and protein sorting within the endosomal system. Possible interaction between sphingolipids and LBPA in sphingolipid-storage disease is discussed.
