London E. How principles of domain formation in model membranes may explain ambiguities concerning lipid raft formation in cells. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2005; 1746:203-20.

Abstract
Sphingolipid and cholesterol-rich liquid ordered lipid domains (lipid rafts) have been studied in both eukaryotic cells and model membranes. However, while the coexistence of ordered and disordered liquid phases can now be easily demonstrated in model membranes, the situation in cell membranes remains ambiguous. Unlike the usual situation in model membranes, under most conditions, cell membranes rich in sphingolipid and cholesterol may have a "granular" organization in which the size of ordered and/or disordered domains is extremely small and domains may be of borderline stability. This review attempts to explain the origin of the divergence between of our understanding of rafts in model membranes and in cells, and how the physical properties of model membranes can help explain many of the ambiguities concerning raft formation and properties in cells. How physical principles of ordered domain formation relate to limitations of detergent insolubility and cholesterol depletion methods used to infer the presence of rafts in cells is also discussed. Possible modifications of these techniques that may increase their reliability are considered. It will be necessary to study model membrane systems more closely approximating cell membranes in order gain a complete understanding of raft properties in cells. Very high concentrations of membrane cholesterol and proteins may explain key physical characteristics of domains in cellular membranes, and are the two of the most obvious factors requiring additional study.

Abstract
Using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIR-FM), fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), and other light microscopy techniques, we analyzed the dynamics, the activation, and the assembly of caveolae labeled with fluorescently tagged caveolin-1 (Cav1). We found that when activated by simian virus 40 (SV40), a non-enveloped DNA virus that uses caveolae for cell entry, the fraction of mobile caveolae was dramatically enhanced both in the plasma membrane (PM) and in the caveosome, an intracellular organelle that functions as an intermediate station in caveolar endocytosis. Activation also resulted in increased microtubule (MT)-dependent, long-range movement of caveolar vesicles. We generated heterokaryons that contained GFP- and RFP-tagged caveolae by fusing cells expressing Cav1-GFP and -RFP, respectively, and showed that even when activated, individual caveolar domains underwent little exchange of Cav1. Only when the cells were subjected to transient cholesterol depletion, did the caveolae domain exchange Cav1. Thus, in contrast to clathrin-, or other types of coated transport vesicles, caveolae constitute stable, cholesterol-dependent membrane domains that can serve as fixed containers through vesicle traffic. Finally, we identified the Golgi complex as the site where newly assembled caveolar domains appeared first.

Abstract
Synaptic neurotransmission in the central nervous system (CNS) requires the precise control of the duration and the magnitude of neurotransmitter action at specific molecular targets. At the molecular level, neurotransmitter signaling is dynamically regulated by a diverse set of macromolecules including biosynthetic enzymes, secretory proteins, ion channels, pre- and postsynaptic receptors and transporters. Monoamines, 5-hydroxytryptamine or serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE), and dopamine (DA) play an important modulatory role in the CNS and are involved in numerous physiological functions and pathological conditions. Presynaptic plasma membrane transporters for 5-HT (SERT), NE (NET), and DA (DAT), respectively, control synaptic actions of these monoamines by rapidly clearing the released amine. Monoamine transporters are the sites of action for widely used antidepressants and are high affinity molecular targets for drugs of abuse including cocaine, amphetamine, and 3,4-methylenedioxymetamphetamine (MDMA) "Ecstasy." Monoamine transporters also serve as molecular gateways for neurotoxins. Emerging evidence indicates that regulation of transporter function and surface expression can be rapidly modulated by "intrinsic" transporter activity itself, and antidepressant and psychostimulant drugs that block monoamine transport have a profound effect on transporter regulation. Therefore, disregulations in the functioning of monoamine transporters may underlie many disorders of transmitter imbalance such as depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and schizophrenia. This review integrates recent progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms of monoamine transporter regulation, in particular, posttranscriptional regulation by phosphorylation and trafficking linked to cellular protein kinases, protein phosphatases, and transporter interacting proteins. The review also discusses the possible role of psychostimulants and antidepressants in influencing monoamine transport regulation.

Abstract
Numerous pathogens have evolved mechanisms of co-opting normal host endocytic machinery as a means of invading host cells. While numerous pathogens have been known to enter cells via traditional clathrin-coated pit endocytosis, a growing number of viral and bacterial pathogens have been recognized to invade host cells via clustered lipid rafts. This review focuses on several bacterial pathogens that have evolved several different mechanisms of co-opting clustered lipid rafts to invade host cells. Although these bacteria have diverse clinical presentations and many differences in their pathogenesis, they each depend on the integrity of clustered lipid rafts for their intracellular survival. Bacterial invasion via clustered lipid rafts has been recognized as an important virulence factor for a growing number of bacterial pathogens in their battle against host defenses.

Abstract
Detergent resistant membranes (DRMs) are the site of assembly for a variety of viruses. Here, we make use of Sendai virus mutant proteins that are not packaged into virus particles to determine the involvement of this assembly for the virus particle production. We found that, in the context of an infection, (1) all the Sendai virus proteins associated in part with DRMs, (2) mutant HN and M proteins not packaged into virus particles were similarly part of this association, (3) after M protein suppression resulting in a significant reduction of virus production, the floatation profile of the other viral proteins was not altered and finally (4) cellular cholesterol depletion did not decrease the virus particle production, although it somehow reduced their virus infectivity. These results led us to conclude that the assembly complex found in DRM fractions does not constitute a direct precursor of virus particle budding.

Abstract
The Arabidopsis RPM1 protein confers resistance to disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae strains delivering either the AvrRpm1 or AvrB type III effector proteins into host cells. We characterized two closely related RPM1-interacting proteins, RIN2 and RIN3. RIN2 and RIN3 encode RING-finger type ubiquitin ligases with six apparent transmembrane domains and an ubiquitin-binding CUE domain. RIN2 and RIN3 are orthologs of the mammalian autocrine motility factor receptor, a cytokine receptor localized in both plasma membrane caveolae and the endoplasmic reticulum. RIN2 is predominantly localized to the plasma membrane, as are RPM1 and RPS2. The C-terminal regions of RIN2 and RIN3, including the CUE domain, interact strongly with an RPM1 N-terminal fragment and weakly with a similar domain from the Arabidopsis RPS2 protein. RIN2 and RIN3 can dimerize through their C-terminal regions. The RING-finger domains of RIN2 and RIN3 encode ubiquitin ligases. Inoculation with P. syringae DC3000(avrRpm1) or P. syringae DC3000(avrRpt2) induces differential decreases of RIN2 mobility in SDS-PAGE and disappearance of the majority of RIN2. A rin2 rin3 double mutant expresses diminished RPM1- and RPS2-dependent hypersensitive response (HR), but no alteration of pathogen growth. Thus, the RIN2/RIN3 RING E3 ligases apparently act on a substrate that regulates RPM1- and RPS2-dependent HR.

Abstract
Biological membranes are known to contain compositional heterogeneities, often termed rafts, with distinguishable composition and function, and these heterogeneities participate in vigorous transport processes. Membrane lipid phase coexistence is expected to modulate these processes through the differing mechanical properties of the bulk domains and line tension at phase boundaries. In this contribution, we compare the predictions from a shape theory derived for vesicles with fluid phase coexistence to the geometry of giant unilamellar vesicles with coexisting liquid-disordered (L(d)) and liquid-ordered (L(o)) phases. We find a bending modulus for the L(o) phase higher than that of the L(d) phase and a saddle-splay (Gauss) modulus difference with the Gauss modulus of the L(o) phase being more negative than the L(d) phase. The Gauss modulus critically influences membrane processes that change topology, such as vesicle fission or fusion, and could therefore be of significant biological relevance in heterogeneous membranes. Our observations of experimental vesicle geometries being modulated by Gaussian curvature moduli differences confirm the prediction by the theory of Juelicher and Lipowsky.

Abstract
The vacuolating cytotoxin VacA is a major virulence factor of Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium responsible for gastroduodenal ulcers and cancer. VacA associates with lipid rafts, is endocytosed, and reaches the late endocytic compartment where it induces vacuolation. We have investigated the endocytic and intracellular trafficking pathways used by VacA, in HeLa and gastric AGS cells. We report here that VacA was first bound to plasma-membrane domains localized above F-actin structures that were controlled by the Rac1 GTPase. VacA was subsequently pinocytosed by a clathrin-independent mechanism into cell peripheral early endocytic compartments lacking caveolin 1, the Rab5 effector early endosomes antigen-1 (EEA1) and transferrin. These compartments took up fluid-phase (as evidenced by the accumulation of fluorescent dextran) and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-APs). VacA pinocytosis was controlled by Cdc42 and did not require cellular tyrosine kinases, dynamin 2, ADP-ribosylating factor 6, or RhoA GTPase activities. VacA was subsequently routed to EEA1-sorting endosomes and then sorted to late endosomes. During all these different endocytic steps, VacA was continuously associated with detergent resistant membrane domains. From these results we propose that VacA might be a valuable probe to study raft-associated molecules, pinocytosed by a clathrin-independent mechanism, and routed to the degradative compartment.

Abstract
The elucidation of the role of caveolae has been the topic of many investigations which were greatly enhanced after the discovery of caveolin, the protein marker of these flask-shaped plasma membrane invaginations. The generation of mice deficient in the various caveolin genes (cav-1, cav-2 and cav-3) has provided physiological models to unravel the role of caveolins or caveolae at the whole organism level. Remarkably, despite the essential role of caveolins in caveolae biogenesis, all knockout mice are viable and fertile. However, lack of caveolae or caveolins leads to a wide range of phenotypes including muscle, pulmonary or lipid disorders, suggesting their implication in many cellular processes. The aim of this review is to give a broad overview of the phenotypes described for the caveolin-deficient mice and to link them to the numerous functions so far assigned to caveolins/caveolae.

Abstract
The role of caveolae in endocytosis is hotly debated. Here, we argue that most caveolae are stable microdomains at the cell surface. Only a small fraction of caveolae is constitutively internalized, leading to a quantitatively minor uptake of ligands and receptors. In addition, we suggest that a more pronounced downregulation of caveolae from the plasma membrane can occur, presumably stimulated by receptor cross-linking and clustering in caveolae. Finally, we propose that future studies dealing with internalization of caveolae should actually document such internalization and include kinetic data.

Abstract
Growth factor receptors have been shown to be localized to lipid rafts and caveolae. Consistent with a role for these cholesterol-enriched membrane domains in growth factor receptor function, the binding and kinase activities of growth factor receptors are susceptible to regulation by changes in cholesterol content. Furthermore, knockouts of caveolin-1, the structural protein of caveolae, have confirmed that this protein, and by implication caveolae, modulate the ability of growth factor receptors to signal. This article reviews the findings pertinent to the relationship between growth factor receptors, lipid rafts and caveolae and presents a model for understanding the disparate observations regarding the role of membrane microdomains in the regulation of growth factor receptor function.

Abstract
The brain is enriched with sphingolipids, which are important membrane constituents and major lipid signaling molecules that have a role in motor and cognitive behavior. Vitamin K has been implicated in brain sphingolipid metabolism for more than 30 years. The in vitro and in vivo studies to date suggest a role of vitamin K in the regulation of multiple enzymes involved in sphingolipid metabolism within the myelin-rich regions in the brain. However, the precise mechanisms of action are not well understood. Further, the physiological consequences of the observed effects of vitamin K on sphingolipid metabolism have not been systematically studied.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which a cell uses and adapts its functional membrane organization are poorly understood and are the subject of ongoing investigation and discussion. Here, we study one proposed mechanism: the crosslinking of membrane components. In immune cell signaling (and other membrane-associated processes), a small change in the clustering of specific membrane proteins can lead to large-scale reorganizations that involve numerous other membrane components. We have investigated the large-scale physical effect of crosslinking a minor membrane component, the ganglioside GM1, in simple lipid models of the plasma membrane containing sphingomyelin, cholesterol, and phosphatidylcholine. We observe that crosslinking GM1 can cause uniform membranes to phase-separate into large, coexistent liquid ordered and liquid disordered membrane domains. We also find that this lipid separation causes a dramatic redistribution of a transmembrane peptide, consistent with a raft model of membrane organization. These experiments demonstrate a mechanism that could contribute to the effects of crosslinking observed in cellular processes: Domains induced by clustering a small number of proteins or lipids might rapidly reorganize many other membrane proteins.

Abstract
The microdomain localization of the GABA(A) receptor in rat cerebellar granule cells was studied by subcellular fractionation and fluorescence- and immunogold electron microscopy. The receptor resided in lipid rafts, prepared at 37 degrees C by extraction with the nonionic detergent Brij 98, but the raft fraction, defined by the marker ganglioside GM(1) in the floating fractions following density gradient centrifugation, was heterogeneous in density and protein composition. Thus, another major raft-associated membrane protein, the Na(+), K(+)-ATPase, was found in discrete rafts of lower density, reflecting clustering of the two proteins in separate membrane microdomains. Both proteins were observed in patchy "hot spots" at the cell surface as well as in isolated lipid rafts. Their insolubility in Brij 98 was only marginally affected by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin. In contrast, both the GABA(A) receptor and Na(+), K(+)-ATPase were largely soluble in ice cold Triton X-100. This indicates that Brij 98 extraction defines an unusual type of cholesterol-independent lipid rafts that harbour membrane proteins also associated with underlying scaffolding/cytoskeletal proteins such as gephyrin (GABA(A) receptor) and ankyrin G (Na(+), K(+)-ATPase). By providing an ordered membrane microenvironment, lipid rafts may contribute to the clustering of the GABA(A) receptor and the Na(+), K(+)-ATPase at distinct functional locations on the cell surface.

Abstract
The biochemical characterization of the SNARE proteins present in lipid microdomains, also known as "lipid rafts," has been addressed in earlier studies, with conflicting data from different laboratories. In this study, we use rat brain synaptosomes as a model with which to examine the presence of proteins involved in exocytosis in detergent-resistant membranes (DRM), also known as 'lipid rafts.' By means of buoyancy analysis in sucrose gradients of Triton X-100-solubilized synaptosomes, we identified a pool of SNARE proteins (SNAP 25, syntaxin 1, and synaptobrevin2/VAMP2) significantly associated with DRM. Furthermore, Munc18, synaptophysin, and high amounts of the isoforms I and II of synaptotagmin were also found in DRM. In addition, SDS-resistant and temperature-dependent SNARE complexes were also detected in DRM. Treatment of synaptosomes with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin resulted in persistence of the proteins present in the DRM isolated using Triton X-100, whilst strongly impairing calcium-dependent glutamate release. The results from the present work show that lipid microdomains are sites where SNARE proteins and complexes are actually present, as well as important elements in the control of regulated exocytosis.

Abstract
Spatial and temporal separation of signal transduction pathways often determines the specificity in cellular responses. Recent advances have improved our understanding of how growth factor signalling is influenced by the formation of molecular complexes (signalosomes) in distinct cellular compartments. There has also been new insight into the mechanisms that determine the signalling competence of these complexes and their role in receptor endocytosis, retrograde trafficking in neurons and restricted protein biosynthesis, and many examples have been found where signalosome deregulation leads to disease.

Abstract
Uncoupling protein(UCP)1 is an integral membrane protein that is located in the mitochondrial inner membrane of brown adipocytes. Its physiological role is to mediate a regulated, thermogenic proton leak. UCP2 and UCP3 are recently identified UCP1 homologues. They also mediate regulated proton leak, and might function to control the production of superoxide and other downstream reactive oxygen species. However, their role in normal physiology remains unknown. Recent studies have shown that UCP2 has an important part in the pathogenesis of type-2 diabetes. The obscure roles of the UCP homologues in normal physiology, together with their emerging role in pathophysiology, provide exciting potential for further investigation.

Abstract
Some transmembrane proteins must associate with lipid rafts to function. However, even if acylated, transmembrane proteins should not pack well with ordered raft lipids, and raft targeting is puzzling. Acylation is necessary for raft targeting of linker for activation of T cells (LAT). To determine whether an acylated transmembrane domain is sufficient, we examined raft association of palmitoylated and nonpalmitoylated LAT transmembrane peptides in lipid vesicles by a fluorescence quenching assay, by microscopic examination, and by association with detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs). All three assays detected very low raft association of the nonacylated LAT peptide. DRM association was the same as a control random transmembrane peptide. Acylation did not measurably enhance raft association by the first two assays but slightly enhanced DRM association. The palmitoylated LAT peptide and a FLAG-tagged LAT transmembrane domain construct expressed in cells showed similar DRM association when both were reconstituted into mixed vesicles (containing cell-derived proteins and lipids and excess artificial raft-forming lipids) before detergent extraction. We conclude that the acylated LAT transmembrane domain has low inherent raft affinity. Full-length LAT in mixed vesicles associated better with DRMs than the peptide. However, cells appeared to contain two pools of LAT, with very different raft affinities. Since some LAT (but not the transmembrane domain construct) was isolated in a protein complex, and the Myc- and FLAG-tagged forms of LAT could be mutually co-immunoprecipitated, oligomerization or interactions with other proteins may enhance raft affinity of one pool of LAT. We conclude that both acylation and other factors, possibly protein-protein interactions, target LAT to rafts.

Abstract
The internalization of various cargo proteins and lipids from the mammalian cell surface occurs through the clathrin and lipid-raft endocytic pathways. Protein-lipid and protein-protein interactions control the targeting of signalling molecules and their partners to various specialized membrane compartments in these pathways. This functions to control the activity of signalling cascades and the termination of signalling events, and therefore has a key role in defining how a cell responds to its environment.

Abstract
One way of controlling the activity of E-cadherin--a protein that is, simultaneously, a major cell-adhesion molecule, a powerful tumour suppressor, a determinant of cell polarity and a partner to the potent catenin signalling molecules--is to keep it on the move. During the past two decades, many insights into the fundamental role of E-cadherin in these processes have been garnered. Studies during the past five years have begun to reveal the importance of intracellular trafficking as a means of regulating the functions of E-cadherin. E-cadherin is trafficked to and from the cell surface by exocytic and multiple endocytic pathways. In this article, we survey the vesicle-trafficking machinery that is responsible for the sorting, transport, actin association and vesicle targeting of E-cadherin to regulate its movement and function during growth and development and, possibly, in cancer.

Abstract
Simian Virus 40 (SV40) has been shown to enter host cells by caveolar endocytosis followed by transport via caveosomes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Using a caveolin-1 (cav-1)-deficient cell line (human hepatoma 7) and embryonic fibroblasts from a cav-1 knockout mouse, we found that in the absence of caveolae, but also in wild-type embryonic fibroblasts, the virus exploits an alternative, cav-1-independent pathway. Internalization was rapid (t1/2 = 20 min) and cholesterol and tyrosine kinase dependent but independent of clathrin, dynamin II, and ARF6. The viruses were internalized in small, tight-fitting vesicles and transported to membrane-bounded, pH-neutral organelles similar to caveosomes but devoid of cav-1 and -2. The viruses were next transferred by microtubule-dependent vesicular transport to the ER, a step that was required for infectivity. Our results revealed the existence of a virus-activated endocytic pathway from the plasma membrane to the ER that involves neither clathrin nor caveolae and that can be activated also in the presence of cav-1.

Abstract
Using quantitative light microscopy and a modified immunoelectron microscopic technique, we have characterized the entry pathway of the cholera toxin binding subunit (CTB) in primary embryonic fibroblasts. CTB trafficking to the Golgi complex was identical in caveolin-1null (Cav1−/−) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and wild-type (WT) MEFs. CTB entry in the Cav1−/− MEFs was predominantly clathrin and dynamin independent but relatively cholesterol dependent. Immunoelectron microscopy was used to quantify budded and surface-connected caveolae and to identify noncaveolar endocytic vehicles. In WT MEFs, a small fraction of the total Cav1-positive structures were shown to bud from the plasma membrane (2% per minute), and budding increased upon okadaic acid or lactosyl ceramide treatment. However, the major carriers involved in initial entry of CTB were identified as uncoated tubular or ring-shaped structures. These carriers contained GPI-anchored proteins and fluid phase markers and represented the major vehicles mediating CTB uptake in both WT and caveolae-null cells.

Abstract
Sterols are essential membrane components of eukaryotic cells. Interacting closely with sphingolipids, they provide the membrane surrounding required for membrane sorting and trafficking processes. Altering the amount and/or structure of free sterols leads to defects in endocytic pathways in mammalian cells and yeast. Plasma membrane structures functioning in the internalization step in mammalian cells, caveolae and clathrin-coated pits, are affected by cholesterol depletion. Accumulation of improper plasma membrane sterols prevents hyperphosphorylation of a plasma membrane receptor in yeast. Once internalized, sterols still interact with sphingolipids and are recycled to the plasma membrane to keep an intracellular sterol gradient with the highest amount of free sterols at the cell periphery. Interestingly, cells from patients suffering from sphingolipid storage diseases show high intracellular amounts of free cholesterol. We propose that the balanced interaction of sterols and sphingolipids is responsible for protein recruitment to specialized membrane domains and their functionality in the endocytic pathway.

Abstract
As endocytic uptake of the Antennapedia homeodomain-derived penetratin peptide (RQIKIWFQNRRMKWKK) is finally being revealed, some of the early views about penetratin need to be reconsidered. Endocytic uptake seems to contradict the indispensability of tryptophans and also the minimum length of 16 amino acid residues for efficient internalization. To revise the membrane translocation of penetratin, two penetratin analogs were designed and synthesized: a peptide in which tryptophans were replaced by phenylalanines (Phe(6,14)-penetratin, RQIKIFFQNRRMKFKK) and a shortened analog (dodeca-penetratin, RQIKIWF-R-KWKK) made up of only 12 residues. The peptides were fluorescently labeled and applied to live, unfixed cells from various lines. Cellular uptake was analysed by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. Low temperature or ATP-depletion blocked the intracellular entry of all three penetratin peptides. A decrease in membrane fluidity or cholesterol depletion with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin greatly inhibited peptide uptake, showing the involvement of cholesterol-rich lipid rafts in internalization. Exogenous heparan sulfate also diminished the internalization of penetratin and its derivatives, reflecting the paramount importance of electrostatic interactions with polyanionic cell-surface proteoglycans. The beneficial presence of tryptophans is supported by observations on the decreased cellular uptake of Phe(6, 14)-penetratin. The maintained translocational efficiency of dodeca-penetratin demonstrates that a thorough understanding of penetratin internalization can yield new penetratin analogs with unaltered translocational abilities. This study provides evidence on the energy-dependent and lipid raft-mediated endocytic uptake of penetratin and highlights the necessity of revealing those pathways that cationic cell-penetrating peptides employ to enter live cells.

Abstract
The amount of dopamine transporter (DAT) present at the cell surface is rapidly regulated by the rates of DAT internalization to endosomes and DAT recycling back to the plasma membrane. The re-distribution of the transporter from the cell surface to endosomes was induced by phorbol ester activation of protein kinase C in porcine aortic endothelial cells stably expressing the human DAT. Inhibition of DAT recycling with the carboxylic ionophore monensin also caused significant accumulation of DAT in early endosomes and a concomitant loss of DAT from the cell surface, due to protein kinase C-independent constitutive internalization of DAT in the absence of recycling. Such monensin-induced relocation of DAT to endosomes was therefore utilized as a measure of the constitutive internalization of DAT. Knock-down of clathrin heavy chain or dynamin II by small interfering RNAs dramatically inhibited both constitutive and protein kinase C-mediated internalization of DAT. In contrast, neither monensin-dependent nor phorbol ester-induced re-distribution of DAT were affected by inhibitors of endocytosis through cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains. Mutational analysis revealed the potential importance of amino acid residues 587-597 in DAT internalization. Altogether, the data suggest that both constitutive and protein kinase C-mediated internalization of DAT utilize the clathrin-dependent endocytic pathway, but likely involve unconventional mechanisms.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle tissue is made up of highly organized multinuclear cells. The internal organization of the muscle cell is dictated by the necessary regular arrangement of repeated units within the protein myofibrils that mediate muscle contraction. Skeletal muscle cells have the usual membrane traffic pathways for partitioning newly synthesized proteins, internalizing cell surface receptors for hormones and nutrients, and mediating membrane repair. However, in muscle, these pathways must be further specialized to deal with targeting to and organizing muscle-specific membrane structures, satisfying the unique metabolic requirements of muscle and meeting the high demand for membrane repair in a tissue that is constantly under mechanical stress. Specialized membrane traffic pathways in muscle also play a role in the formation of muscle through fusion of myoblast membranes and the development of internal muscle-specific membrane structures during myogenesis and regeneration. It has recently become apparent that muscle-specific isoforms of proteins that are known to mediate ubiquitous membrane traffic pathways, as well as novel muscle-specific proteins, are involved in tissue-specific aspects of muscle membrane traffic. Here we describe the specialized membrane structures of skeletal muscle, how these are developed, maintained and repaired by specialized and generic membrane traffic pathways, and how defects in these pathways result in muscle disease.

Abstract
The signaling activity of several chemokine receptors, including CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5), is in part controlled by their internalization, recycling, and/or degradation. For CCR5, agonists such as the chemokine CCL5 induce internalization into early endosomes containing the transferrin receptor, a marker for clathrin-dependent endocytosis, but it has been suggested that CCR5 may also follow clathrin-independent routes of internalization. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the role of clathrin in chemokine-induced CCR5 internalization. Using CCR5-transfected cell lines, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy, we demonstrate that CCL5 causes the rapid redistribution of scattered cell surface CCR5 into large clusters that are associated with flat clathrin lattices. Invaginated clathrin-coated pits could be seen at the edge of these lattices and, in CCL5-treated cells, these pits contain CCR5. Receptors internalized via clathrin-coated vesicles follow the clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway, and depletion of clathrin with small interfering RNAs inhibits CCL5-induced CCR5 internalization. We found no evidence for CCR5 association with caveolae during agonist-induced internalization. However, sequestration of cholesterol with filipin interferes with agonist binding to CCR5, suggesting that cholesterol and/or lipid raft domains play some role in the events required for CCR5 activation before internalization.

Abstract
Caveolae are specialized plasma membrane subdomains capable of transport and sophisticated compartmentalization of cell signaling. Numerous cell functions, including cell type-specific functions, involve caveolae and require caveolin-1, the major protein component of these organelles. Caveolae are particularly abundant in endothelial cells and participate in endothelial transcytosis, vascular permeability, vasomotor tone control, and vascular reactivity. Caveolin-1 drives the formation of plasma membrane caveolae and anchors them to the actin cytoskeleton, modulates cell interaction with the extracellular matrix, pulls together and regulates signaling molecules, and transports cholesterol. Via these functions, caveolin-1 might play an important role in cell movement through control of cell membrane composition and membrane surface expansion, polarization of signaling molecules and matrix proteolysis, and/or cytoskeleton remodeling. Caveolae and caveolin-1 are polarized in migrating endothelial cells, indicating they may play a role in cell motility. Several studies have shown that manipulation of caveolin-1 expression affects cell migration in a complex way. We are reviewing the current data and hypotheses in favor of an essential role for caveolae in cell migration.

Abstract
The function of G protein-coupled receptors is regulated by a broad variety of membrane-bound and intracellular proteins. These act in concert to activate signaling pathways that will lead to the desensitization of activated receptors and, for most receptor types, their trafficking to intracellular compartments. This review focuses mainly on the endocytic pathways used by a G protein-coupled receptor and on the proteins that play an essential role in the regulation of the internalization process, most specifically the ADP-ribosylation factors. This family of proteins has been shown to be important for vesicle trafficking between different cellular membranes. The latest findings regarding the molecular mechanisms that regulate internalization of an agonist-stimulated receptor are presented here. Finally, a perspective on how ARF6 proteins might regulate the internalization process is also proposed.Key words: G protein-coupled receptors, endocytosis, ADP-ribosylation factor.

The endocytic trafficking of caveolae has been the subject of some controversy for many years. A new study (Pelkmans et al.) shows that budded caveolae can interact with both the caveosome and the early endosome and that caveolin-enriched regions of the early endosomal membrane form unusually stable domains that can incorporate cargo in a regulated manner.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major cause of pneumonia in patients with cystic fibrosis and other immuncompromising conditions. Here we showed that P. aeruginosa invades type I pneumocytes via a lipid raft-mediated mechanism. P. aeruginosa invasion of rat primary type I-like pneumocytes as well as a murine lung epithelial cell line 12 (MLE-12) is inhibited by drugs that remove membrane cholesterol and disrupt lipid rafts. Confocal microscopy demonstrated co-localization of intracellular P. aeruginosa with lipid raft components including caveolin-1 and -2. We generated caveolin-1 and -2 knockdowns in MLE-12 cells by using RNA interference techniques. Decreased expression of caveolin-2 significantly impaired the ability of P. aeruginosa to invade MLE-12 cells. In addition, the lipid raft-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin-2 appeared to be a critical regulator of P. aeruginosa invasion.

Abstract
Endocytosis comprises several routes of internalization. An outstanding question is whether the caveolar and endosomal pathways intersect. Following transport of the caveolar protein Caveolin-1 and two cargo complexes, Simian Virus 40 and Cholera toxin, in live cells, we uncovered a Rab5-dependent pathway in which caveolar vesicles are targeted to early endosomes and form distinct and stable membrane domains. In endosomes, the low pH selectively allowed the toxin to diffuse out of the caveolar domains into the surrounding membrane, while the virus remained trapped. Thus, we conclude that, unlike cyclic assembly and disassembly of coat proteins in vesicular transport, oligomeric complexes of caveolin-1 confer permanent structural stability to caveolar vesicles that transiently interact with endosomes to form subdomains and release cargo selectively by compartment-specific cues.

Abstract
Enlargeosomes, a new type of widely expressed cytoplasmic vesicles, undergo tetanus toxin-insensitive exocytosis in response to cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) rises. Cell biology of enlargeosomes is still largely unknown. By combining immunocytochemistry (marker desmoyokin-Ahnak, d/A) to capacitance electrophysiology in the enlargeosome-rich, neurosecretion-defective clone PC12-27, we show that 1) the two responses, cell surface enlargement and d/A surface appearance, occur with similar kinetics and in the same low micromolar [Ca(2+)](i) range, no matter whether induced by photolysis of the caged Ca(2+) compound o-nitrophenyl EGTA or by the Ca(2+) ionophore ionomycin. Thus, enlargeosomes seem to account, at least in large part, for the exocytic processes triggered by the two stimulations. 2. The enlargeosome membranes are resistant to nonionic detergents but distinct from other resistant membranes, rich in caveolin, Thy1, and/or flotillin1. 3. Cell cholesterol depletion, which affects many membrane fusions, neither disrupts enlargeosomes nor affects their regulated exocytosis. 4. The postexocytic cell surface decline is [Ca(2+)](i) dependent. 5. Exocytized d/A-rich membranes are endocytized and trafficked along an intracellular pathway by nonacidic organelles, distinct from classical endosomes and lysosomes. Our data define specific aspects of enlargeosomes and suggest their participation, in addition to cell differentiation and repair, for which evidence already exists, to other physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
Intestinal epithelial lipid rafts contain ganglioside GM1 that is the receptor for cholera toxin (CT). The ganglioside binds CT at the plasma membrane (PM) and carries the toxin through the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In the ER, a portion of the toxin unfolds and translocates to the cytosol to activate adenylyl cyclase. Activation of the cyclase leads to an increase in intracellular cAMP, which results in apical chloride secretion. Here, we find that an intact actin cytoskeleton is necessary for the efficient transport of CT to the Golgi and for subsequent activation of adenylyl cyclase. CT bound to GM1 on the cell membrane fractionates with a heterogeneous population of lipid rafts, a portion of which is enriched in actin and other cytoskeletal proteins. In this actin-rich fraction of lipid rafts, CT and actin colocalize on the same membrane microdomains, suggesting a possible functional association. Depolymerization or stabilization of actin filaments interferes with transport of CT from the PM to the Golgi and reduces the levels of cAMP generated in the cytosol. Depletion of membrane cholesterol, which also inhibits CT trafficking to the TGN, causes displacement of actin from the lipid rafts while CT remains stably raft associated. On the basis of these observations, we propose that the CT-GM1 complex is associated with the actin cytoskeleton via the lipid rafts and that the actin cytoskeleton plays a role in trafficking of CT from the PM to the Golgi/ER and the subsequent activation of adenylyl cyclase.

Abstract
Clathrin-independent endocytosis internalizes plasma membrane proteins that lack cytoplasmic sequences recognized by clathrin adaptor proteins. There is evidence for different clathrin-independent pathways but whether they share common features has not been systematically tested. Here, we examined whether CD59, an endogenous glycosylphosphatidyl inositol-anchored protein (GPI-AP), and major histocompatibility protein class I (MHCI), an endogenous, integral membrane protein, entered cells through a common mechanism and followed a similar itinerary. At early times of internalization, CD59 and MHCI were found in the same Arf6-associated endosomes before joining clathrin cargo proteins such as transferrin in common sorting endosomes. CD59 and MHCI, but not transferrin, also were observed in the Arf6-associated tubular recycling membranes. Endocytosis of CD59 and MHCI required free membrane cholesterol because it was inhibited by filipin binding to the cell surface. Expression of active Arf6 stimulated endocytosis of GPI-APs and MHCI to the same extent and led to their accumulation in Arf6 endosomes that labeled intensely with filipin. This blocked delivery of GPI-APs and MHCI to early sorting endosomes and to lysosomes for degradation. Endocytosis of transferrin was not affected by any of these treatments. These observations suggest common mechanisms for endocytosis without clathrin.

Abstract
Dynamin associates with a variety of SH3 domain-containing molecules via a C-terminal proline-rich motif and takes part, with them, in endocytic processes. Here, we have investigated a new dynamin-associating molecule, formin-binding protein 17 (FBP17), involved in deforming the plasma membrane and in endocytosis. FBP17 formed tubular invaginations originating from the plasma membrane. Its N-terminal Fer/CIP4 homology domain, a coiled-coil domain, and a proline-rich motif were required for tubular invagination and self-assembly, by which tubular invagination might be induced. Using anti-FBP17 antibody, we detected positive immunoreactions in the testis that were restricted to the germ cells. We also detected FBP17 in the brain by immunoblotting and in situ hybridization. When COS cells expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein-tagged FBP17 were incubated with fluorescently labeled transferrin, epidermal growth factor, and cholera toxin, these molecules co-localized with FBP17-induced tubular invaginations, suggesting that FBP17 is involved in dynamin-mediated endocytosis in both a clathrin-dependent and -independent manner. These observations therefore indicate that FBP17 interacts with dynamin and regulates endocytosis by forming vesicotubular structures.

Abstract
Caveolae and the caveolae coat proteins, caveolins, are putatively implicated in many cellular processes, including transcytosis of macromolecules, cholesterol transport, and signal transduction. Recent insights into the physiological and pathophysiological roles of these organelles and the caveolins from genetically modified mice suggest that they may be profoundly important for postnatal cardiovascular function, including endothelial barrier function, regulation of nitric oxide synthesis, cholesterol metabolism, and cardiac function.

Abstract
Lipid rafts are membrane microdomains that are enriched in cholesterol and glycosphingolipids. They have been implicated in processes as diverse as signal transduction, endocytosis and cholesterol trafficking. Recent evidence suggests that this diversity of function is accompanied by a diversity in the composition of lipid rafts. The rafts in cells appear to be heterogeneous both in terms of their protein and their lipid content, and can be localized to different regions of the cell. This review summarizes the data supporting the concept of heterogeneity among lipid rafts and outlines the evidence for cross-talk between raft components. Based on differences in the ways in which proteins interact with rafts, the Induced-Fit Model of Raft Heterogeneity is proposed to explain the establishment and maintenance of heterogeneity within raft populations.

Abstract
Viruses replicate within living cells and use the cellular machinery for the synthesis of their genome and other components. To gain access, they have evolved a variety of elegant mechanisms to deliver their genes and accessory proteins into the host cell. Many animal viruses take advantage of endocytic pathways and rely on the cell to guide them through a complex entry and uncoating program. In the dialogue between the cell and the intruder, the cell provides critical cues that allow the virus to undergo molecular transformations that lead to successful internalization, intra-cellular transport, and uncoating.

Abstract
The plasma membrane consists of a mosaic of functional microdomains facilitating a variety of physiological processes associated with the cell surface. In most cells, the majority of the cell surface is morphologically featureless, leading to difficulties in characterizing its organization and microdomain composition. The reliance on indirect and perturbing techniques has led to vigorous debate concerning the nature and even existence of some microdomains. Recently, increasing technical sophistication has been applied to study cell surface compartmentalization providing evidence for small, short-lived clusters that may be much less than 50 nm in diameter. Lipid rafts and caveolae are cholesterol-dependent, highly ordered microdomains that have received most attention in recent years, yet their precise roles in regulating functions such as cell signalling remain to be determined. Endocytosis of lipid rafts/caveolae follows a clathrin-independent route to both early endosomes and non-classical caveosomes. The observation that a variety of cellular pathogens localize to and internalize with these microdomains provides an additional incentive to characterize the organization, dynamics and functions of these domains.
