Abstract
Quantitative time-lapse imaging data of single cells expressing the transmembrane protein, vesicular stomatitis virus ts045 G protein fused to green fluorescent protein (VSVG-GFP), were used for kinetic modeling of protein traffic through the various compartments of the secretory pathway. A series of first order rate laws was sufficient to accurately describe VSVG-GFP transport, and provided compartment residence times and rate constants for transport into and out of the Golgi complex and delivery to the plasma membrane. For ER to Golgi transport the mean rate constant (i.e., the fraction of VSVG-GFP moved per unit of time) was 2.8% per min, for Golgi to plasma membrane transport it was 3.0% per min, and for transport from the plasma membrane to a degradative site it was 0.25% per min. Because these rate constants did not change as the concentration of VSVG-GFP in different compartments went from high (early in the experiment) to low (late in the experiment), secretory transport machinery was never saturated during the experiments. The processes of budding, translocation, and fusion of post-Golgi transport intermediates carrying VSVG- GFP to the plasma membrane were also analyzed using quantitative imaging techniques. Large pleiomorphic tubular structures, rather than small vesicles, were found to be the primary vehicles for Golgi to plasma membrane transport of VSVG-GFP. These structures budded as entire domains from the Golgi complex and underwent dynamic shape changes as they moved along microtubule tracks to the cell periphery. They carried up to 10,000 VSVG-GFP molecules and had a mean life time in COS cells of 3.8 min. In addition, they fused with the plasma membrane without intersecting other membrane transport pathways in the cell. These properties suggest that the post-Golgi intermediates represent a unique transport organelle for conveying large quantities of protein cargo from the Golgi complex directly to the plasma membrane.

Abstract
In Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, newly synthesized apical and basolateral membrane proteins are generally transported directly to their respective cell surface domain due to targeting determinants that mediate sorting in the Golgi complex. In several basolateral membrane proteins, these targeting determinants reside in the cytoplasmic domains. We show here that basolateral expression of the human alpha5beta1 integrin in stably transfected Madin-Darby canine kidney cells is also mediated by the cytoplasmic domains. Distinct regions in both cytoplasmic domains were found to be sufficient to mediate basolateral expression independently from one another. Unexpectedly, newly synthesized wild-type alpha5beta1 and basolaterally expressed chimeras containing the cytoplasmic domain of either alpha5 or beta1 were integrated into both cell surface domains, preferentially apically, during biosynthesis. The apical pools of wild-type integrin and chimeric subunits were found to become quickly degraded, whereas the basolateral pools were stabilized. Thus, the cytoplasmic domains of the alpha5beta1 integrin are independently sufficient to mediate sorting by selective basolateral stabilization.

Abstract
Tight junctions form a morphological and physical border between the apical and the basolateral cell surface domains of epithelial cells; hence assembly of tight junctions could occur from both of the two plasma membrane domains. We show here that the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of occludin, the only known transmembrane protein of tight junctions, was sufficient to mediate basolateral expression of a chimeric protein. Since this chimera was transported directly to the basolateral membrane during biosynthesis, the C-terminal domain of occludin contains a basolateral targeting signal. Additionally, the C-terminal domain of occludin was also able to mediate endocytosis. Thus, the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain appears to govern intracellular transport of occludin. To test whether the basolateral membrane is an obligatory intermediate in transport of occludin to tight junctions, we analyzed the expression of occludin molecules rendered unable to efficiently integrate into tight junctions by the introduction of N-linked glycosylation sites into the two extracellular loops. Indeed, glycosylated occludin accumulated in the basolateral membrane, supporting a model in which the biogenesis of tight junctions occurs from this cell-surface domain.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic regions of the mouse low-affinity Fc gamma RII isoforms, mFc gamma RIIb1, and mFc gamma RIIb2, play a key role in signal transduction by mediating different cellular functions. mFc gamma RIIb1 has a 94-residue cytoplasmic region, whereas mFc gamma RIIb2 has a 47-residue cytoplasmic region. Genes encoding the cytoplasmic regions of mFc gamma RIIb1 (b1-94) and mFc gamma RIIb2 (b2-47) were designed, synthesized, and expressed as fusion proteins in Escherichia coli. A sequence-specific protease, thrombin, was used to release the b1-94 peptide, which was purified by using HPLC. The b2-47 peptide was synthesized chemically. CD spectropolarimetry was employed to examine the secondary structures of b1-94 and b2-47. These studies were conducted in aqueous solution, in mixtures of water and trifluoroethanol or methanol, and as a function of temperature. The results indicate that the b1-94 and b2-47 structures are sensitive functions of the solvent environment, and that nonaqueous solvents induce significant alpha-helical structure.

Abstract
Murine low-affinity receptors for the Fc portion of IgG are of two types: Fc gamma RII and Fc gamma RIII. Murine Fc gamma RII and III have 95% homologous extracellular (EC) domains and bind the same ligands, but different transmembrane (TM) and intracytoplasmic (IC) domains. They, however, have unrelated TM and IC domains. Murine Fc gamma RII are single-chain receptors, encoded by the beta-Fc gamma R gene. Murine Fc gamma RIII are composed of two subunits: the ligand-binding alpha-subunit, encoded by the alpha-Fc gamma R gene and the gamma-subunit, encoded by another gene which belongs to a family of genes encoding dimeric subunits of multichain receptors. The expression of murine Fc gamma RII and Fc gamma RIII depends on a number of mechanisms which do the following: (1) determine the tissue-specific expression of the alpha- and beta-Fc gamma R genes by selectively unmethylating DNA in specific 5' sequences in different cell types; (2) regulate the initiation of the transcription of the alpha- and beta-Fc gamma R genes via several transcription factors; (3) up- and downregulate the amount of alpha- and beta-Fc gamma R transcripts in response to cytokines; (4) decide the alternative splicing of IC exons of the beta-Fc gamma R gene and generate the different Fc gamma RII isoforms; (5) possibly regulate the translation of alpha- and beta-Fc gamma R transcripts in different cells; (6) control the assembly of the Fc gamma RIII subunits and their membrane insertion, and (7) determine the turnover of Fc gamma RII and III in the presence and absence of ligands by affecting the internalization, shedding and proteolytic cleavage of the receptors. These mechanisms altogether contribute to make a variety of cells capable of responding differently to antigen-antibody complexes, depending on environmental stimuli.

Abstract
In MDCK cells, transport of membrane proteins to the basolateral plasma membrane has been shown to require a distinct cytoplasmic domain determinant. Although the determinant is often related to signals used for localization in clathrin-coated pits, inactivation of the coated pit domain in the human LDL receptor did not affect basolateral targeting. By expressing mutant and chimeric LDL receptors, we have now identified two independently acting signals that are individually sufficient for basolateral targeting. The two determinants mediate basolateral sorting with different efficiencies, but both contain tyrosine residues critical for activity. The first determinant was colinear with, but distinct from, the coated pit domain of the receptor. The second was found in the C-terminal region of the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor and, although tyrosine-dependent, did not mediate endocytosis. The results suggest that membrane proteins can have functionally redundant signals for basolateral transport and that a tyrosine-containing motif may be a common feature of multiple intracellular sorting events.

Abstract
After actively entering its host cells, the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii resides in an intracellular vacuole that is completely unable to fuse with other endocytic or biosynthetic organelles. The fusion blocking requires entry of viable organisms but is irreversible: fusion competence of the vacuole is not restored if the parasite is killed after entry. The fusion block can be overcome, however, by altering the parasite's route of entry. Thus, phagocytosis of viable antibody-coated T. gondii by Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with macrophage-lymphocyte Fc receptors results in the formation of vacuoles that are capable of both fusion and acidification. Phagocytosis and fusion appear to involve a domain of the Fc receptor cytoplasmic tail distinct from that required for localization at clathrin-coated pits. These results suggest that the mechanism of fusion inhibition is likely to reflect a modification of the vacuole membrane at the time of its formation, as opposed to the secretion of a soluble inhibitor by the parasite.

Abstract
Mouse macrophages and lymphocytes express two distinct isoforms of a single class of Fc receptor for IgG. The macrophage isoform (FcRII-B2) is identical to the lymphocyte isoform (FcRII-B1) except for an inframe insertion in the cytoplasmic tail of FcRII-B1 that increases its length from 47 to 94 amino acids. To determine the functional significance of this cytoplasmic domain variation, presumably the result of alternative mRNA splicing, we expressed both isoforms in receptor-negative fibroblasts. While FcRII-B2 mediated the efficient ligand internalization and delivery to lysosomes, endocytosis via FcRII-B1--and via a tailminus mutant--was relatively inefficient. This difference reflected the inability of FcRII-B1 (and the tailminus mutant) to accumulate in clathrin-coated pits. Thus, the FcRII-B2 cytoplasmic tail contains a domain needed for accumulation in coated pits, and this domain is disrupted by the 47 amino acid insertion in FcRII-B1.

Abstract
Previously we studied differential expression of cell surface molecules between the metastatic murine lymphoma ESb and an adhesion variant ESb-MP. Here we describe the specificity of a monoclonal antibody (12-15) that showed strong binding to the adhesion variant and weak reactivity against ESb cells. The antibody also reacted to lymphoid but not to macrophage-derived cell lines and immunoprecipitated a molecule of approx. 60-69 kDa from ESb-MP cells. N-terminal sequencing of the antigen revealed identity to the beta protein of mouse Fc gamma receptors. Using monoclonal antibodies against Fc gamma receptors (2.4G2 and K9.361) in immunofluorescence assays and cDNA probes specific for alpha, beta 1 and beta 2 Fc receptor transcripts in Northern blot experiments the differential expression of Fc receptors in ESb and ESb-MP cells was confirmed. Biochemical analysis of endoglycosidase F-treated precipitates revealed that antibody 12-15 reacted to products of all three transcripts with molecular masses for the protein core of 38.5 kDa (beta 1), 34 kDa (beta 2) and 31 kDa alpha). In addition, an unknown protein of 37 kDa (termed beta 3) was identified by antibody 12-15 which could also be detected in ESb cells and EL4 cells. Antibodies 2.4G2 and K9.361 did not react to the beta 3 chain but reacted to varying extents to the other Fc proteins in macrophage and lymphoid cells. Comparison by peptide mapping of the novel beta 3 chain to beta 1, beta 2 and alpha proteins revealed similar, but also distinct peptides. The tissue-specific reactivity of monoclonal antibody 12-15 is likely to be due to a carbohydrate epitope associated with all Fc gamma receptors in lymphoid but not macrophage cell lines.

Abstract
The high affinity Fc receptor (FcRI) of a human monocytic cell line, U937, was further characterized using a previously described murine monoclonal antibody, FcRmAb32. This antibody immunoprecipitated a 70 K cell surface glycoprotein. A solid phase ligand binding assay and a solid phase immunoprecipitation assay were combined to confirm that the 70 K cell surface glycoprotein immunoprecipitated by FcRmAb32 is an IgG binding protein. N-glycanase digestion shows that at least 20% of the relative mobility of the 70 K FcRI glycoprotein is due to N-linked carbohydrate. FcRmAb32 immunoprecipitated a 70 K glycoprotein from biosynthetically labelled U937 cells that co-migrated with the surface iodinated glycoprotein on 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis. A 50 K protein, that is biosynthetically labelled but not accessible to surface iodination, which, bound to control antibodies was also present in FcRmAb32 immunoprecipitates. FcRmAb32 only bound the mature fully glycosylated form of FcRI. The 70 K FcRI was not phosphorylated constitutively nor when U937 cells were stimulated by PMA.

Abstract
Metabolic labeling and immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that soluble acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) was rapidly synthesized and released into culture medium by Leishmania donovani promastigotes. The kinetics of release indicated a constitutive secretory process (t 1/2 = 45 min). Moreover, acid phosphatase was the major secretory protein. The extracellular enzyme is composed of two heterodisperse bands of approximately 110 and 130 kDa in sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gels. It is synthesized as two intracellular precursors of 92.5 and 107 kDa which acquire the heterodisperse form characteristic of the mature extracellular enzyme during biosynthesis. Labeling in the presence of tunicamycin altered the electrophoretic mobility of the acid phosphatase, indicating the presence of several N-linked oligosaccharides on the mature enzyme. However, tunicamycin did not block secretion of the enzyme or its processing to the heterodisperse form. The biosynthetic effect of tunicamycin was mimicked by N-glycosidase F treatment of acid phosphatase immunoprecipitates. In contrast to tunicamycin, labeling in the presence of monensin inhibited processing of the phosphatase to its heterodisperse form. This indicates that Golgi processing, probably glycosylation, is responsible for the heterodispersity of the mature enzyme in sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gels. As with tunicamycin, monensin treatment did not prevent secretion of the acid phosphatase. These cumulative results demonstrate that release of this enzyme by L. donovani promastigotes occurs via a secretory pathway.

Abstract
A cDNA clone encoding the mouse Ly-17+ Fc receptor for IgG, isolated from a myelomonocytic cell line, was sequenced and expression of mRNA and the functional Fc gamma R investigated. The receptor is a 301 amino acid transmembrane glycoprotein with two homologous extracellular domains that are also homologous to members of the Ig superfamily. The receptor has four sites of N-linked glycosylation and a long 94 amino acid cytoplasmic tail. Northern analysis, immune complex binding, and serological studies demonstrate that the receptor encoded by the cDNA clone binds mouse IgG gamma 1/2b and rabbit IgG complexes.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody, FR51, raised against the IgG Fc receptor (Fc gamma R) of the human monoblast cell line U937 was used to analyze the distribution of this antigen on various human cells. This antibody inhibited the binding of human IgG to the Fc gamma R on U937 cells, HL-60 cells and human peripheral blood monocytes. In contrast, the Fc gamma R on human granulocytes (neutrophil cells) and on an Epstein-Barr virus-transformed human lymphoblastoid cell line (Raji) were not recognized, indicated by the failure of blocking the binding of human IgG ligand to the Fc gamma R on these cells. By affinity chromatography of detergent-containing cell free lysates of surface-iodinated U937 cells, HL-60 cells and monocytes, a protein of 70-kDa was isolated. This protein was identified as the Fc gamma R by rebinding the isolated protein to immobilized human IgG. Removal of the carbohydrate moiety with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F demonstrated that the receptors consist of a 40-kDa polypeptide. Analysis of the polypeptide patterns obtained by proteolytic digestion of either mature (70-kDa) or deglycosylated (40-kDa) receptors isolated from monocytes, U937 cells and HL-60 cells strongly suggests that the Fc gamma R are identical. The monoclonal antibody FR51 specifically reacts with Fc gamma R on human monocytes, a myeloblast and a monoblast cell line but not with the receptors on a B cell line and neutrophil cells.

Abstract
Macrophages, granulocytes and many lymphocytes express or secrete receptors for the Fc domain of immunoglobulins (Ig). These Fc receptors (FcRs) are heterogeneous and can be distinguished on the basis of their cellular distribution and specificities for different immunoglobulin isotypes. Although their functions are not completely understood, FcRs are known to be involved in triggering various effector cell functions and in regulating differentiation and development of B-cells. One of the best characterized is the mouse macrophage-lymphocyte receptor for IgG1 and IgG2b (ref. 5). On macrophages, this FcR mediates the endocytosis of antibody-antigen complexes via coated pits and coated vesicles, the phagocytosis of Ig-coated particles, and the release of various inflammatory and cytotoxic agents. It is possible that the receptor possesses an intrinsic ligand-activated ion channel activity responsible for some of these functions. The IgG1/IgG2b FcR has been isolated and shown to be a transmembrane glycoprotein of relative molecular mass (Mr) 47,000-60,000 (47-60 K) containing four N-linked oligosaccharide chains and a large (greater than 10K) cytoplasmic domain. It is also immunologically indistinguishable from the murine Ly-17 alloantigen which, in turn, is tightly linked to the Mls lymphocyte activation locus. Here we describe the isolation and characterisation of a complementary DNA clone encoding the whole of the IgG1/IgG2b FcR expressed by the mouse macrophage-like cell line P388D1. The receptor is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and, like Ly-17, maps to the distal portion of chromosome 1. cDNA probes detect one or two mRNA species in FcR+ macrophage and B-cell lines, but not in FcR- cells or a receptor-deficient variant derived from a FcR+ B-cell line. Finally, DNA hybridization analysis indicates the receptor gene is partially deleted or rearranged in the FcR- variant.

Abstract
Binding of antibodies to effector cells by way of receptors to their constant regions (Fc receptors) is central to the pathway that leads to clearance of antigens by the immune system. The structure and function of this important class of receptors on immune cells is addressed through the molecular characterization of Fc receptors (FcR) specific for the murine immunoglobulin G isotype. Structural diversity is encoded by two genes that by alternative splicing result in expression of molecules with highly conserved extracellular domains and different transmembrane and intracytoplasmic domains. The proteins encoded by these genes are members of the immunoglobulin supergene family, most homologous to the major histocompatibility complex molecule E beta. Functional reconstitution of ligand binding by transfection of individual FcR genes demonstrates that the requirements for ligand binding are encoded in a single gene. These studies demonstrate the molecular basis for the functional heterogeneity of FcR's, accounting for the possible transduction of different signals in response to a single ligand.
