Abstract
Twenty-five chimera compounds of Pitstop 1 and 2 were synthesised and screened for their ability to block the clathrin terminal domain-amphiphysin protein-protein interaction (NTD-PPI using an ELISA) and clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME) in cells. Library 1 was based on Pitstop 2, but no notable clathrin PPI or in-cell activity was observed. With the Pitstop 1, 16 analogues were produced with 1,8-naphthalic imide core as a foundation. Analogues with methylene spaced linkers and simple amides showed a modest to good range of PPI inhibition (7.6-42.5 μM, naphthyl 39 and 4-nitrophenyl 40 respectively) activity. These data reveal the importance of the naphthalene sulfonate moiety, with no des-SO3 analogue displaying PPI inhibition. This was consistent with the observed analogue docked poses within the clathrin terminal domain Site 1 binding pocket. Further modifications targeted the naphthalene imide moiety, with the installation of 5-Br (45 a), 5-OH (45 c) and 5-propyl ether (45 d) moieties. Among them, the OH 45 c and propyl ether 45 d retained PPI inhibition, with propyl ether 45 d being the most active with a PPI inhibition IC50=7.3 μM. This is 2x more potent than Pitstop 2 and 3x more potent than Pitstop 1.

Abstract
Endocytosis mediates the entry of surface and extracellular cargoes into the cell. In this chapter, we describe assays to quantitively measure the endocytosis of both soluble and transmembrane cargo proteins, taking advantage of cleavable fluorescent dyes labeling cargo proteins or antibodies recognizing cargo proteins. After removing surface-bound fluorescent dye, internalized cargoes are measured using confocal imaging and flow cytometry. We also describe strategies to determine the role of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) in the internalization of a cargo by using a small molecule inhibitor of CME and knockout (KO) of the AAGAB gene, which encodes an essential regulator of CME.

Abstract
The estrogen 17β-estradiol (E2) modulates dendritic spine plasticity in the cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) region of the hippocampus, and GPR30 (G-protein coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1)) is an estrogen-sensitive G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is expressed in the mammalian brain and in specific subregions that are responsive to E2, including the hippocampus. The subcellular localization of hippocampal GPR30, however, remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that GPR30 immunoreactivity is detected in dendritic spines of rat CA1 hippocampal neurons in vivo and that GPR30 protein can be found in rat brain synaptosomes. GPR30 immunoreactivity is identified at the post-synaptic density (PSD) and in the adjacent peri-synaptic zone, and GPR30 can associate with the spine scaffolding protein PSD-95 both in vitro and in vivo. This PSD-95 binding capacity of GPR30 is specific and determined by the receptor C-terminal tail that is both necessary and sufficient for PSD-95 interaction. The interaction with PSD-95 functions to increase GPR30 protein levels residing at the plasma membrane surface. GPR30 associates with the N-terminal tandem pair of PDZ domains in PSD-95, suggesting that PSD-95 may be involved in clustering GPR30 with other receptors in the hippocampus. We demonstrate that GPR30 has the potential to associate with additional post-synaptic GPCRs, including the membrane progestin receptor, the corticotropin releasing hormone receptor, and the 5HT1a serotonin receptor. These data demonstrate that GPR30 is well positioned in the dendritic spine compartment to integrate E2 sensitivity directly onto multiple inputs on synaptic activity and might begin to provide a molecular explanation as to how E2 modulates dendritic spine plasticity.

Abstract
The first human retrovirus, human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1), was discovered 30 years ago. Despite intensive study, the cell surface molecules involved in virus entry have only been identified over the past few years. Three molecules form the receptor complex for HTLV-1: glucose transporter 1, neuropilin 1 and heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Another molecule on the surface of dendritic cells, DC-SIGN, may play a role in dendritic cell-mediated infection of cells. In addition to the cell surface molecules used for entry, the HTLV-1 envelope interacts with cellular proteins, enabling the virus to traffic by exploiting cellular delivery pathways. To facilitate both these steps, HTLV-1 encodes motifs that mimic cellular binding partners for the trafficking system and ligands for the receptors. Here we review the interactions between the HTLV-1 envelope and cellular proteins.

Abstract
Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) envelope (Env) glycoprotein mediates binding of the virus to its receptor on the surface of target cells and subsequent fusion of virus and cell membranes. To better understand the mechanisms that control HTLV-1 Env trafficking and activity, we have examined two protein-protein interaction motifs in the cytoplasmic domain of Env. One is the sequence YSLI, which matches the consensus YXXPhi motifs that are known to interact with various adaptor protein complexes; the other is the sequence ESSL at the C terminus of Env, which matches the consensus PDZ-binding motif. We show here that mutations that destroy the YXXPhi motif increased Env expression on the cell surface and increased cell-cell fusion activity. In contrast, mutation of the PDZ-binding motif greatly diminished Env expression in cells, which could be restored to wild-type levels either by mutating the YXXPhi motif or by silencing AP2 and AP3, suggesting that interactions with PDZ proteins oppose an Env degradation pathway mediated by AP2 and AP3. Silencing of the PDZ protein hDlg1 did not affect Env expression, suggesting that hDlg1 is not a binding partner for Env. Substitution of the YSLI sequence in HTLV-1 Env with YXXPhi elements from other cell or virus membrane-spanning proteins resulted in alterations in Env accumulation in cells, incorporation into virions, and virion infectivity. Env variants containing YXXPhi motifs that are predicted to have high-affinity interaction with AP2 accumulated to lower steady-state levels. Interestingly, mutations that destroy the YXXPhi motif resulted in viruses that were not infectious by cell-free or cell-associated routes of infection. Unlike YXXPhi, the function of the PDZ-binding motif manifests itself only in the producer cells; AP2 silencing restored the incorporation of PDZ-deficient Env into virus-like particles (VLPs) and the infectivity of these VLPs to wild-type levels.

Abstract
Proper localization of nephrin determines integrity of the glomerular slit diaphragm. Slit diaphragm proteins assemble into functional signaling complexes on a raft-based platform, but how the trafficking of these proteins coordinates with their signaling function is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that a raft-mediated endocytic (RME) pathway internalizes nephrin. Nephrin internalization was slower with raft-mediated endocytosis than with classic clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Ultrastructurally, the RME pathway consisted of noncoated invaginations and was dependent on cholesterol and dynamin. Nephrin constituted a stable, signaling-competent microdomain through interaction with Fyn, a Src kinase, and podocin, a scaffold protein. Tyrosine phosphorylation of nephrin triggered its own RME-mediated internalization. Protamine-induced hyperphosphorylation of nephrin led to noncoated invaginations predominating over coated pits. These results demonstrate that an RME pathway couples nephrin internalization to its own signaling, suggesting that RME promotes proper spatiotemporal assembly of slit diaphragms during podocyte development or injury.

Abstract
A new generation of antibodies against the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been proven to bind specifically to PSMA molecules on the surface of living prostate cancer cells. To explore the potential of anti-PSMA antibodies as targeting moieties for macromolecular therapeutics for prostate cancer, fluorescently labeled HPMA (N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide) copolymer-anti-PSMA antibody conjugates (P-anti-PSMA) were synthesized and the mechanisms of their endocytosis and subcellular trafficking in C4-2 prostate cancer cells were studied. Radioimmunoassays showed the dissociation constants of P-anti-PSMA for C4-2 prostate cancer cells in the low nanomolar range, close to values for free anti-PSMA. It indicated that conjugation of anti-PSMA to HPMA copolymers did not compromise their binding affinity. The rate of endocytosis of P-anti-PSMA was much faster than that of control HPMA copolymer conjugates containing nonspecific IgG. Selective pathway inhibitors of clathrin-mediated endocytosis and of macropinocytosis inhibited the internalization of P-anti-PSMA. Inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis was further evidenced by down-regulation of clathrin heavy chain expression by siRNA. Using a dominant-negative mutant of dynamin (Dyn K44A) to abolish the clathrin-, caveolae-independent endocytic pathway, we found that some of P-anti-PSMA adopted this pathway to be endocytosed into C4-2 cells. Thus multiple receptor-mediated endocytic pathways, including clathrin-mediated endocytosis, macropinocytosis, and clathrin-, caveolae-independent endocytosis, were involved in the internalization of P-anti-PSMA. The extent of the participation of each pathway in P-anti-PSMA endocytosis was estimated. Membrane vesicles containing P-anti-PSMA rapidly colocalized with membrane vesicles overexpressing Rab7, a late endosome localized protein, demonstrating that a part of P-anti-PSMA was transported to late endosomes.

Abstract
GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs), the principal sites of synaptic inhibition in the brain, are dynamic entities on the neuronal cell surface, but the role their membrane trafficking plays in shaping neuronal activity remains obscure. Here, we examined this by using mutant receptor beta3 subunits (beta3S408/9A), which have reduced binding to the clathrin adaptor protein-2, a critical regulator of GABA(A)R endocytosis. Neurons expressing beta3S408/9A subunits exhibited increases in the number and size of inhibitory synapses, together with enhanced inhibitory synaptic transmission due to reduced GABA(A)R endocytosis. Furthermore, neurons expressing beta3S408/9A subunits had deficits in the number of mature spines and reduced accumulation of postsynaptic density protein-95 at excitatory synapses. This deficit in spine maturity was reversed by pharmacological blockade of GABA(A)Rs. Therefore, regulating the efficacy of synaptic inhibition by modulating GABA(A)R membrane trafficking may play a critical role in regulating spine maturity with significant implications for synaptic plasticity together with behavior.

Abstract
In non-neuronal cells, inactivation of protein kinase D (PKD) blocks fission of trans-Golgi network (TGN) transport carriers, inducing the appearance of long tubules filled with cargo. We now report on the function of PKD1 in neuronal protein trafficking. In cultured hippocampal pyramidal cells, the transferrin receptor (TfR) and the low-density receptor-related protein (LRP) are predominantly transported to dendrites and excluded from axons. Expression of kinase-inactive PKD1 or its depletion by RNA interference treatment dramatically and selectively alter the intracellular trafficking and membrane delivery of TfR- and LRP-containing vesicles, without inhibiting exit from the TGN or inducing Golgi tubulation. After PKD1 suppression, dendritic membrane proteins are mispackaged into carriers that transport VAMP2; these vesicles are distributed to both axons and dendrites, but are rapidly endocytosed from dendrites and preferentially delivered to the axonal membrane. A kinase-defective mutant of PKD1 lacking the ability to bind diacylglycerol and hence its Golgi localization does not cause missorting of TfR or LRP. These results suggest that in neurons PKD1 regulates TGN-derived sorting of dendritic proteins and hence has a role in neuronal polarity.

Abstract
This article provides an overview of principles and barriers relevant to intracellular drug and gene transport, accumulation and retention (collectively called as drug delivery) by means of nanovehicles (NV). The aim is to deliver a cargo to a particular intracellular site, if possible, to exert a local action. Some of the principles discussed in this article apply to noncolloidal drugs that are not permeable to the plasma membrane or to the blood-brain barrier. NV are defined as a wide range of nanosized particles leading to colloidal objects which are capable of entering cells and tissues and delivering a cargo intracelullarly. Different localization and targeting means are discussed. Limited discussion on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is also presented. NVs are contrasted to micro-delivery and current nanotechnologies which are already in commercial use. Newer developments in NV technologies are outlined and future applications are stressed. We also briefly review the existing modeling tools and approaches to quantitatively describe the behavior of targeted NV within the vascular and tumor compartments, an area of particular importance. While we list "elementary" phenomena related to different level of complexity of delivery to cancer, we also stress importance of multi-scale modeling and bottom-up systems biology approach.

Abstract
DNA-encapsulated silver clusters are readily conjugated to proteins and serve as alternatives to organic dyes and semiconductor quantum dots. Stable and bright on the bulk and single molecule levels, Ag nanocluster fluorescence is readily observed when staining live cell surfaces. Being significantly brighter and more photostable than organics and much smaller than quantum dots with a single point of attachment, these nanomaterials offer promising new approaches for bulk and single molecule biolabeling.

Abstract
Status epilepticus (SE) is a progressive and often lethal human disorder characterized by continuous or rapidly repeating seizures. Of major significance in the pathology of SE are deficits in the functional expression of GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs), the major sites of fast synaptic inhibition in the brain. We demonstrate that SE selectively decreases the phosphorylation of GABA(A)Rs on serine residues 408/9 (S408/9) in the beta3 subunit by intimately associated protein kinase C isoforms. Dephosphorylation of S408/9 unmasks a basic patch-binding motif for the clathrin adaptor AP2, enhancing the endocytosis of selected GABA(A)R subtypes from the plasma membrane during SE. In agreement with this, enhancing S408/9 phosphorylation or selectively blocking the binding of the beta3 subunit to AP2 increased GABA(A)R cell surface expression levels and restored the efficacy of synaptic inhibition in SE. Thus, enhancing phosphorylation of GABA(A)Rs or selectively blocking their interaction with AP2 may provide novel therapeutic strategies to ameliorate SE.

Abstract
Endocytosis is a vital process for mammalian cells by which they communicate with their environment, internalize nutrients, hormones, or growth factors, or take up extracellular fluids and particles. The best studied among the various pathways to ingest material from the extracellular side is clathrin/AP-2-mediated endocytosis. The past several years have allowed us to gain unprecedented molecular insights into the role of the heterotetrameric AP-2 adaptor complex as a central protein-protein and protein-lipid interaction hub at the plasmalemma. During the initial stages of clathrin-coated pit formation, AP-2 interacts with phosphoinositides and cargo membrane proteins as well as with a variety of accessory proteins and clathrin to coordinate clathrin coat polymerization with membrane deformation and cargo recruitment. In addition, a growing list of alternative adaptors provides opportunity for clathrin-dependent cargo selective pathways of internalization and endosomal sorting. Many of these interactions are now understood in structural detail and are thus amenable to pharmacological interference. In this review we will summarize our present state of knowledge about AP-2 and its partners in endocytosis and delineate potential strategies for pharmacological manipulations.

Abstract
There are numerous ways that endocytic cargo molecules may be internalized from the surface of eukaryotic cells. In addition to the classical clathrin-dependent mechanism of endocytosis, several pathways that do not use a clathrin coat are emerging. These pathways transport a diverse array of cargoes and are sometimes hijacked by bacteria and viruses to gain access to the host cell. Here, we review our current understanding of various clathrin-independent mechanisms of endocytosis and propose a classification scheme to help organize the data in this complex and evolving field.

Abstract
Neurons are highly polarized cells with axonal and somatodendritic membrane surfaces that spatially separate signal-sending from signal-receiving membrane domains. As found in many other cell types, different populations of endosomes are involved in the sorting of synaptic and other membrane cargo in neurons. The exact source of the membrane for neurite extension and process remodelling during neuronal differentiation has remained uncertain, and we do not know exactly how polarized sorting of neuronal membrane proteins is achieved. In the present article, we will provide a brief overview of endosomes and their putative or proven functions in fibroblasts, epithelial cells and neurons. On the basis of insights from non-neuronal cell types and recent studies on the function of recycling endosomes during synaptic plasticity-induced membrane remodelling, we postulate a speculative model regarding the role of recycling endosomes in neuronal differentiation.
