[PMID: 33226137 PMCID: PMC7737610 DOI: 10.15252/embj.2020104948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 71] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2020] [Revised: 09/10/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Autophagosome formation requires multiple autophagy-related (ATG) factors. However, we find that a subset of autophagy substrates remains robustly targeted to the lysosome in the absence of several core ATGs, including the LC3 lipidation machinery. To address this unexpected result, we performed genome-wide CRISPR screens identifying genes required for NBR1 flux in ATG7KO cells. We find that ATG7-independent autophagy still requires canonical ATG factors including FIP200. However, in the absence of LC3 lipidation, additional factors are required including TAX1BP1 and TBK1. TAX1BP1's ability to cluster FIP200 around NBR1 cargo and induce local autophagosome formation enforces cargo specificity and replaces the requirement for lipidated LC3. In support of this model, we define a ubiquitin-independent mode of TAX1BP1 recruitment to NBR1 puncta, highlighting that TAX1BP1 recruitment and clustering, rather than ubiquitin binding per se, is critical for function. Collectively, our data provide a mechanistic basis for reports of selective autophagy in cells lacking the lipidation machinery, wherein receptor-mediated clustering of upstream autophagy factors drives continued autophagosome formation.

Abstract
To form protrusions like neurites, cells must coordinate their induction and growth. The first requires cytoskeletal rearrangements at the plasma membrane (PM), the second requires directed material delivery from cell's insides. We find that the Gαo-subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins localizes dually to PM and Golgi across phyla and cell types. The PM pool of Gαo induces, and the Golgi pool feeds, the growing protrusions by stimulated trafficking. Golgi-residing KDELR binds and activates monomeric Gαo, atypically for G protein-coupled receptors that normally act on heterotrimeric G proteins. Through multidimensional screenings identifying > 250 Gαo interactors, we pinpoint several basic cellular activities, including vesicular trafficking, as being regulated by Gαo. We further find small Golgi-residing GTPases Rab1 and Rab3 as direct effectors of Gαo. This KDELR → Gαo → Rab1/3 signaling axis is conserved from insects to mammals and controls material delivery from Golgi to PM in various cells and tissues.

Abstract
X-linked non-syndromic intellectual disability (XLID) is a common mental disorder recognized by cognitive and behavioral deficits. Mutations in the brain-specific αGDI, shown to alter a subset of RAB GTPases redistribution in cells, are linked to XLID, likely via changes in vesicle traffic in neurons. Here, we show directly that isolated XLID mice astrocytes, devoid of pathologic tissue environment, exhibit vesicle mobility deficits. Contrary to previous studies, we show that astrocytes express two GDI proteins. The siRNA-mediated suppression of expression of αGDI especially affected vesicle dynamics. A similar defect was recorded in astrocytes from the Gdi1 -/Y mouse model of XLID and in astrocytes with recombinant mutated human XLID αGDI. Endolysosomal vesicles studied here are involved in the release of gliosignaling molecules as well as in regulating membrane receptor density; thus, the observed changes in astrocytic vesicle mobility may, over the long time-course, profoundly affect signaling capacity of these cells, which optimize neural activity.

Abstract
Background In this study, we searched for proteins that change their expression in the olfactory bulb (oB) of rats during ontogenesis. Up to now, protein expression differences in the developing animal are not fully understood. Our investigation focused on the question whether specific proteins exist which are only expressed during different development stages. This might lead to a better characterization of the microenvironment and to a better determination of factors and candidates that influence the differentiation of neuronal progenitor cells. Results After analyzing the samples by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2DE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), it could be shown that the number of expressed proteins differs depending on the developmental stages. Especially members of the functional classes, like proteins of biosynthesis, regulatory proteins and structural proteins, show the highest differential expression in the stages of development analyzed. Conclusion In this study, quantitative changes in the expression of proteins in the oB at different developmental stages (postnatal days (P) 7, 90 and 637) could be observed. Furthermore, the expression of many proteins was found at specific developmental stages. It was possible to identify these proteins which are involved in processes like support of cell migration and differentiation.

Abstract
Background A.BY/SnJ mice are used to study pathological alterations in the heart due to enteroviral infections. Since age is a well-known factor influencing the susceptibility of mice to infection, response to stress and manifestation of cardiovascular diseases, the myocardial proteome of A.BY/SnJ mice aged 1 and 4 months was comparatively studied using two dimensional-differential in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Results Complementary analyses by 2D-DIGE and gel-free LC-MS/MS revealed 96 distinct proteins displaying age associated alterations in their levels. Proteins related to protein transport, and transport chain, lipid metabolism and fatty acid transport showed significant changes in 4 months old mouse hearts compared to juvenile hearts. Proteins involved in lipid metabolism and transport were identified at significantly higher levels in older mice and dysregulation of proteins of the respiratory transport chain were observed. Conclusion The current proteomics study discloses age dependent changes occurring in the hearts already in young mice of the strain A.BY/SnJ. Besides alterations in protein transport, we provide evidence that a decrease of ATP synthase in murine hearts starts already in the first months of life, leading to well-known low expression levels manifested in old mice thereby raising the possibility of reduced energy supply. In the first few months of murine life this seems to be compensated by an increased lipid metabolism. The functional alterations described should be considered during experimental setups in disease related studies.

Abstract
GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) plays an essential role in regulating the state of bound nucleotides and subcellular localizations of Rab proteins. In our previous study, we showed that OsGDI3 facilitates the recycling of OsRab11 with a help of OsGAP1. In this study, we show that OsGDI3 complement the yeast sec19-1 mutant, a temperature-sensitive allele of the yeast GDI gene, suggesting that OsGDI3 is a functional ortholog of yeast GDI. To obtain further knowledge on the function of OsGDI3, candidate OsGDI3-interacting proteins were identified by yeast two-hybrid screens. OsMAPK2 is one of OsGDI3 interacting proteins from yeast two-hybrid screens and subject to further analysis. A kinase assay showed that the autophosphorylation activity of OsMAPK2 is inhibited by OsGDI3 in vitro. In addition, ectopic expressions of OsGDI3-in Arabidopsis cause reductions at the level of phosphorylated AtMPK in phosphorylation activity. Taken together, OsGDI3 functions as a negative regulator of OsMAPK2 through modulating its kinase activity.

Abstract
Rab-GTPases are key regulators of membrane transport, and growing evidence indicates that their expression levels are altered in certain human malignancies, including cancer. Rab6C, a newly identified Rab6 subfamily member, has attracted recent attention because its reduced expression might confer a selective advantage to drug-resistant breast cancer cells. Here, we report that RAB6C is a primate-specific retrogene derived from a RAB6A' transcript. RAB6C is transcribed in a limited number of human tissues including brain, testis, prostate, and breast. Endogenous Rab6C is considerably less abundant and has a much shorter half-life than Rab6A'. Comparison of the GTP-binding motifs of Rab6C and Rab6A', homology modeling, and GTP-blot overlay assays indicate that amino acid changes in Rab6C have greatly reduced its GTP-binding affinity. Instead, the noncanonical GTP-binding domain of Rab6C mediates localization of the protein to the centrosome. Overexpression of Rab6C results in G1 arrest, and its specific depletion generates tetraploid cells with supernumerary centrosomes, revealing a role of Rab6C in events related to the centrosome and cell cycle progression. Thus, RAB6C is a rare example of a recently emerged retrogene that has acquired the status of a new gene, encoding a functional protein with altered characteristics compared to Rab6A'.

Abstract
Corticosterone, the major stress hormone, plays an important role in regulating neuronal functions of the limbic system, although the cellular targets and molecular mechanisms of corticosteroid signaling are largely unknown. Here we show that a short treatment of corticosterone significantly increases alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR)-mediated synaptic transmission and AMPAR membrane trafficking in pyramidal neurons of prefrontal cortex, a key region involved in cognition and emotion. This enhancing effect of corticosterone is through a mechanism dependent on Rab4, the small GTPase-controlling receptor recycling between early endosome and plasma membrane. Guanosine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI), which regulates the cycle of Rab proteins between membrane and cytosol, forms an increased complex with Rab4 after corticosterone treatment. Corticosterone also triggers an increased GDI phosphorylation at Ser-213 by the serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase (SGK). Moreover, AMPAR synaptic currents and surface expression and their regulation by corticosterone are altered by mutating Ser-213 on GDI. These results suggest that corticosterone, via SGK phosphorylation of GDI at Ser-213, increases the formation of GDI-Rab4 complex, facilitating the functional cycle of Rab4 and Rab4-mediated recycling of AMPARs to the synaptic membrane. It provides a potential mechanism underlying the role of corticosteroid stress hormone in up-regulating excitatory synaptic efficacy in cortical neurons.

Abstract
The prion protein (PrP) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane glycoprotein that plays a vital role in prion diseases, a class of fatal neurodegenerative disorders of humans and animals. Approximately 20% of human prion diseases display autosomal dominant inheritance and are linked to mutations in the PrP gene on chromosome 20. PrP mutations are thought to favor the conformational conversion of PrP into a misfolded isoform that causes disease by an unknown mechanism. The PrP mutation D178N/Met-129 is linked to fatal familial insomnia, which causes severe sleep abnormalities and autonomic dysfunction. We showed by immunoelectron microscopy that this mutant PrP accumulates abnormally in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi of transfected neuroblastoma N2a cells. To investigate the impact of intracellular PrP accumulation on cellular homeostasis, we did a two-dimensional gel-based differential proteomics analysis. We used wide range immobilized pH gradient strips, pH 4-7 and 6-11, to analyze a large number of proteins. We found changes in proteins involved in energy metabolism, redox regulation, and vesicular transport. Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor alpha (GDI) was one of the proteins that changed most. GDI regulates vesicular protein trafficking by acting on the activity of several Rab proteins. We found a specific reduction in the level of functional Rab11 in mutant PrP-expressing cells associated with impaired post-Golgi trafficking. Our data are consistent with a model by which mutant PrP induces overexpression of GDI, activating a cytotoxic feedback loop that leads to protein accumulation in the secretory pathway.

Abstract
Recent studies have identified Rab35 in the endocytic pathway and as a regulator of cytokinesis; however its molecular mechanisms are currently unknown. Here, we find that Rab35 colocalizes with actin filaments and with Cdc42, Rac1 and RhoA, and that Rab35 can activate Cdc42 both in vivo and in vitro. We find activated Rab35 stimulates neurite outgrowth in PC12 and N1E-115 cells via a Cdc42-dependent pathway and that siRNA knockdown of Rab35 activity abolishes neurite outgrowth in these cell lines. We conclude that one function of Rab35 is to regulate Rho-family GTPases and that this role has consequences for neurite outgrowth.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disorder, is caused by the disruption of biosynthesis or the function of a membrane cAMP-activated chloride channel, CFTR. CFTR regulatory mechanisms include recruitment of channel proteins to the cell surface from intracellular pools and by protein-protein interactions. Rab proteins are small GTPases involved in regulated trafficking controlling vesicle docking and fusion. Rab4 controls recycling events from endosome to the plasma membrane, fusion, and degradation. The colorectal cell line HT-29 natively expresses CFTR and responds to cAMP stimulation with an increase in CFTR-mediated currents. Rab4 over-expression in HT-29 cells inhibits both basal and cAMP-stimulated CFTR-mediated currents. GTPase-deficient Rab4Q67L and GDP locked Rab4S22N both inhibit channel activity, which appears characteristically different. Active status of Rab4 was confirmed by GTP overlay assay, while its expression was verified by Western blotting. The pull-down and immunoprecipitation experiments suggest that Rab4 physically interacts with CFTR through protein-protein interaction. Biotinylation with cell impermeant NHS-Sulfo-SS-Biotin implies that Rab4 impairs CFTR expression at cell surface. The enhanced cytosolic CFTR indicates that Rab4 expression restrains CFTR appearance at the cell membrane. The study suggests that Rab4 regulates the channel through multiple mechanisms that include protein-protein interaction, GTP/GDP exchange, and channel protein trafficking. We propose that Rab4 is a dynamic molecule with a significant role in CFTR function.

Abstract
The sodium-selective amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) mediates electrogenic sodium re-absorption in tight epithelia. ENaC expression at the plasma membrane requires regulated transport, processing, and macromolecular assembly of subunit proteins in a defined and highly compartmentalized manner. Ras-related Rab GTPases monitor these processes in a highly regulated sequence of events. In order to evaluate the role of Rab proteins in ENaC function, Rab4 wild-type (WT), the GTPase-deficient mutant Rab4Q67L, and the dominant negative GDP-locked mutant Rab4S22N were over-expressed in the colon cancer cell line, HT-29 and amiloride-sensitive currents were recorded. Rab4 over-expression inhibited amiloride-sensitive currents. The effect was reversed by introducing Rab4-neutralizing antibody and Rab4 specific SiRNA. The GDP-locked Rab4 mutant inhibited, while GTPase-deficient mutant moderately stimulated amiloride-sensitive currents. Active status of Rab4 was confirmed by GTP overlay assay, while its expression was verified by Western blotting. Immunoprecipitation and pull-down assay suggest protein-protein interaction between Rab4 and ENaC. In addition, the functional modulation coincides with concomitant changes in ENaC expression at the cell surface and in intracellular pool. We propose that Rab4 is a critical element that regulates ENaC function by mechanisms that include GTP-GDP status, recycling, and expression level. Our observations imply that channel expression in apical membranes of epithelial cell system incorporates RabGTPase as an essential determinant of channel function and adds an exciting paradigm to ENaC therapeutics.

Abstract
Export of cargo from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the first membrane trafficking step in the secretory pathway. To date, all cargo proteins appear to use a common set of machinery for the initial stages of export, namely the COPII coat complex. Recent data from both yeast and mammalian systems have emerged suggesting that specific cargoes could be sorted from one another at the point of exit from the endoplasmic reticulum or immediately afterwards. Here, we have examined the mechanisms used for export of different types of cargo molecule from the endoplasmic reticulum. All cargoes examined utilise the COPII machinery, but specific differences are seen in the accumulation of cargo into ER-derived pre-budding complexes following expression of a GTP-restricted mutant of the Sar1p GTPase. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored GFP is seen to be restricted to the ER under these conditions whereas other cargoes, including ts045-G and lumFP accumulate in pre-budding complexes. Following exit, GPI-FP, lumFP and ts045-G-FP all travel to the Golgi in the same vesicular tubular clusters (VTCs). These data show a differential requirement for efficient GTP hydrolysis by the Sar1p GTPase in export of cargo from the ER.

Abstract
Rab6 GTPase regulates intracellular transport at the level of the Golgi complex. Using the yeast two-hybrid screen, we have isolated two clones that specifically interact with the three isoforms of Rab6 present in mammalian cells (Rab6A, A' and B). The cDNAs encode two proteins of 976 and 1120 amino acids (calculated molecular mass of 112 and 128 kDa, respectively) that we named Rab6IP2A and Rab6IP2B (for Rab6 Interacting Protein 2). The two proteins likely correspond to spliced variants of the same gene. Rab6IP2s have no significant homology with other known proteins, including Rab effectors or partners. They are ubiquitously expressed, mostly cytosolic and found in high molecular mass complexes in brain cytosol. We show that Rab6IP2s can be recruited on Golgi membranes in a Rab6:GTP-dependent manner. The overexpression of any form of Rab6IP2 has no detectable effect on the secretory pathway. In contrast, the retrograde transport of the Shiga toxin B subunit between the plasma membrane and the Golgi complex is partly inhibited in cells overexpressing the Rab6-binding domain of Rab6IP2. Our data suggest that Rab6IP2s is involved in the pathway regulated by Rab6A'.

Abstract
GDIs (GDP-dissociation inhibitors) bind to Rab GTPases and mediate their membrane targeting and recycling. In vitro, most Rabs can bind to either of the major isoforms of GDI, leading to the assumption that the proportion of each specific Rab/GDI complex in vivo reflects the relative abundance of the alpha versus beta forms of GDI. Here we show that when human teratocarcinoma cells (Ntera2) are induced to differentiate into postmitotic neurons (NT2N), there is a major change in the proportion of GDIalpha relative to GDIbeta. Under these conditions, certain Rab GTPases associate preferentially with either GDIalpha or GDIbeta, irrespective of the relative abundance of the GDI isoform. These findings suggest that heretofore unrecognized functional specificity may exist between the two major forms of GDI.

Abstract
Early endocytic membrane traffic is regulated by the small GTPase Rab5, which cycles between GTP- and GDP-bound states as well as between membrane and cytosol. The latter cycle depends on GDI, which functions as a Rab vehicle in the aqueous environment of the cytosol. Here, we report that formation of the GDI:Rab5 complex is stimulated by a cytosolic factor that we purified and then identified as p38 MAPK. We find that p38 regulates GDI in the cytosolic cycle of Rab5 and modulates endocytosis in vivo. Our observations reveal the existence of a cross-talk between endocytosis and the p38-dependent stress response, thus providing molecular evidence that endocytosis can be regulated by the environment.

Abstract
Small GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) exist in eukaryotes from yeast to human and constitute a superfamily consisting of more than 100 members. This superfamily is structurally classified into at least five families: the Ras, Rho, Rab, Sar1/Arf, and Ran families. They regulate a wide variety of cell functions as biological timers (biotimers) that initiate and terminate specific cell functions and determine the periods of time for the continuation of the specific cell functions. They furthermore play key roles in not only temporal but also spatial determination of specific cell functions. The Ras family regulates gene expression, the Rho family regulates cytoskeletal reorganization and gene expression, the Rab and Sar1/Arf families regulate vesicle trafficking, and the Ran family regulates nucleocytoplasmic transport and microtubule organization. Many upstream regulators and downstream effectors of small G proteins have been isolated, and their modes of activation and action have gradually been elucidated. Cascades and cross-talks of small G proteins have also been clarified. In this review, functions of small G proteins and their modes of activation and action are described.

Abstract
Rab proteins are geranylgeranylated on their carboxyl terminal cysteine motifs by geranylgeranyltransferase II (GGTase). Rab escort protein (REP) is required to present Rab proteins to GGTase. REP may remain bound to newly isoprenylated Rab proteins and present them to their target membrane. Other studies have shown that Rab proteins cycle between the membrane and cytosolic compartments and that cytosolic Rab proteins are complexed with rab-GDI. In the present study, we examined the expression and localization of REP isoforms in parotid acinar cells. Although both REP isoforms, REP-1 and REP-2, were detected in parotid cytosol, REP-2 was the predominant isoform. Subcellular fractionation revealed that approximately 42% of cellular REP-2 is membrane-associated. REP-2 was partially removed from parotid membranes with 1 M NaCl or Na(2)CO(3), indicating that REP-2 is a peripheral membrane protein. Membrane-associated REP-2 did not colocalize with Rab3D on secretory granule membranes. However, density gradient centrifugation revealed that membrane-associated REP-2 and Rab3D colocalize on low- and high-density membrane fractions in parotid acinar cells. Isoproterenol, an agent which induces amylase release from parotid glands, caused a shift in both REP-2 and Rab3D to less dense membrane fractions. When acinar cell cytosol was fractionated by gel filtration chromatography, Rab3D eluted exclusively with REP, not rab-GDI. In contrast, Rab1B and Rab5 eluted with both REP and Rab-GDI. Colocalization of Rab3D and REP-2 on acinar cell membranes suggests that REP-2 plays a role in delivering Rab3D to parotid membranes and may regulate guanine nucleotide binding to membrane-associated Rab3D. In addition, unlike other Rab proteins, cytosolic Rab3D appears to associate exclusively with REP, not rab-GDI in parotid acinar cells.

Abstract
Guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) is an essential protein required for the recycling of Rab GTPases mediating the targeting and fusion of vesicles in the exocytic and endocytic pathways. Using site-directed mutagenesis of yeast GDI1, we demonstrate that amino acid residues required for Rab recognition in vitro are critical for function in vivo in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Analysis of the effects of Rab-binding mutants on function in vivo reveals that only a small pool of recycling Rab protein is essential for growth, and that the rates of recycling of distinct Rabs are differentially sensitive to GDI. Furthermore, we find that membrane association of Gdi1p is Rab-independent. Mutant Gdi1 proteins unable to bind Rabs were able to associate with cellular membranes as efficiently as wild-type Gdi1p, yet caused a striking loss of the endogenous cytosolic Gdi1p-Rab pools leading to dominant inhibition of growth when expressed at levels of the normal, endogenous pool. These results demonstrate a potential role for a new recycling factor in the retrieval of Rab-GDP from membranes, and illustrate the importance of multiple effectors in regulating GDI function in Rab delivery and retrieval from membranes.

Abstract
The rab11 GTPase has been localized to both the Golgi and recycling endosomes; however, its Golgi-associated function has remained obscure. In this study, rab11 function in exocytic transport was analyzed by using two independent means to perturb its activity. First, expression of the dominant interfering rab11S25N mutant protein led to a significant inhibition of the cell surface transport of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein and caused VSV G protein to accumulate in the Golgi. On the other hand, the expression of wild-type rab11 or the activating rab11Q70L mutant had no adverse effect on VSV G transport. Next, the membrane association of rab11, which is crucial for its function, was perturbed by modest increases in GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) levels. This led to selective inhibition of the trans-Golgi network to cell surface delivery, whereas endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi and intra-Golgi transport were largely unaffected. The transport inhibition was reversed specifically by coexpression of wild-type rab11 with GDI. Under the same conditions two other exocytic rab proteins, rab2 and rab8, remained membrane bound, and the transport steps regulated by these rab proteins were unaffected. Neither mutant rab11S25N nor GDI overexpression had any impact on the cell surface delivery of influenza hemagglutinin. These data show that functional rab11 is critical for the export of a basolateral marker but not an apical marker from the trans-Golgi network and pinpoint rab11 as a sensitive target for inhibition by excess GDI.

Abstract
Guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) regulates the recycling of Rab GTPases involved in vesicle targeting and fusion. We have analyzed the requirement for conserved amino acid residues in the binding of Rab1A and the function of GDI in transport of cargo between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus. Using a new approach to monitor GDI-Rab interactions based on the change in fluorescence associated with the release of methylanthraniloyl guanosine di(tri)phosphate-GDP (mGDP) from Rab, we show that residues previously implicated in the binding of the synapse-specific Rab3A, including Gln-236, Arg-240, and Thr-248, are essential for the binding of Rab1A. Mutation of each of these residues has potent effects on the ability of GDI to remove Rab1A from membranes and inhibit ER to Golgi transport in vitro. Given the sequence divergence between Rab1A and 3A (35% identity), these residues are proposed to play a general role in GDI function in the cell. In contrast, several other residues found within or flanking the Rab-binding region were found to have differential effects in the recognition and recycling of Rab1A and 3A, and therefore direct selective interaction of GDI with individual Rab proteins. Intriguingly, mutation of one residue, Arg-70, led to a reduction of Rab1A binding, failed to extract Rab1A from membranes in vitro, yet bound membranes tightly and potently inhibited ER to Golgi transport. These results provide evidence that novel membrane-associated factor(s) mediate Rab-independent GDI interaction with membranes.

Abstract
Small GTPases of the Rab family play a key role in the regulation of vesicular transport in eukaryotic cells. As they cycle on and off membranes, Rab proteins rely on the escort services of the GDP-dissociation inhibitor (GDI) proteins. While specific recognition of Rab-GDI complexes by membrane targets is suggested, the mechanisms underlying the subsequent GDI release into the cytosol remain unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that modulations of the cellular redox status in intact rat fat cells, 3T3-L1 adipocytes in culture, and other cultured cell types result in rapid, effective, dose-dependent, and selective membrane dynamics of GDI-1 and -2, membrane retention under reduced redox state, or dissociation under oxidized conditions. GDI retention on adipocyte membranes is associated with a complete arrest of insulin-induced translocation of GLUT4 glucose transporters onto plasma membrane. Together, these data suggest, first, that following Rab delivery to membranes, GDI release is promoted by a shift in the redox state and, second, that arrest of GDIs on membranes inhibits intracellular membrane trafficking events.

Abstract
Previous investigations in several systems have demonstrated that Rab3 family members redistribute to soluble fractions on fusion of secretory granules with target plasma membranes. Rab proteins are then recycled back onto mature secretory vesicles after reinternalization of the membrane. Although this cycle is well established for Rab3, far less is known about redistribution of other Rab proteins during vesicle fusion and recycling. In the gastric parietal cell, Rab11a is associated with H-K-ATPase-containing tubulovesicles, which fuse with the apical plasma membrane (secretory canaliculus) in response to agonists such as histamine. We have analyzed distribution of Rab11a and other tubulovesicle proteins in resting and histamine-stimulated rabbit parietal cells. Stimulation of isolated gastric glands in the presence of 100 microM histamine and 100 microM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine did not cause a significant increase in soluble Rab11a. H-K-ATPase, Rab11a, Rab25, syntaxin 3, and SCAMPs increased immunoreactivity in stimulus-associated vesicles prepared from rabbits treated with histamine compared with those from ranitidine-treated animals. The large GTPase dynamin was found in both vesicle preparations, but there was no change in amount of immunoreactivity. Immunofluorescence staining of resting and histamine-stimulated primary cultures of parietal cells demonstrated redistribution of H-K-ATPase and Rab11a to F-actin-rich canalicular membranes. Dynamin was present on canalicular membranes in resting and stimulated cells. These results indicate that Rab11a does not cycle off the membrane during the process of tubulovesicle fusion with the secretory canaliculus. Thus Rab11a may remain associated with recycling apical membrane vesicle populations.

Abstract
The GTPase cycle of Rab/Ypt proteins is strictly controlled by several classes of regulators to ensure their proper roles in membrane traffic. GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) is known to play essential roles in regulating nucleotide states and subcellular localizations of Rab/Ypt proteins. To obtain further knowledge on this regulator molecule in plants, we isolated and characterized two genes of Arabidopsis thaliana that encode different GDIs. AtGDI1 has been identified by a novel functional cloning in yeast [Ueda et al. (1996) Plant Cell, 8, 2079-2091] and AtGDI2 was isolated by cross-hybridization in this study. AtGDI2, as well as AtGDI1, complements the yeast sec19/gdi1 mutant, indicating that they can replace the function of yeast GDI. Evidence is shown that both AtGDI1 and AtGDI2 can interact with Ara4, an Arabidopsis Rab protein, in the yeast ypt1 mutant cells. AtGDI2 is ubiquitously expressed in Arabidopsis tissues with some difference from AtGDI1 in expression level. Genomic DNA hybridization using specific probes reveals the presence of one more GDI gene in Arabidopsis. This may imply differentiated roles of GDI in higher plants.

Abstract
Posttranslational modification of Rab proteins by geranylgeranyltransferase type II requires that they first bind to Rab escort protein (REP). Following prenylation, REP is postulated to accompany the modified GTPase to its specific target membrane. REP binds preferentially to Rab proteins that are in the GDP state, but the specific structural domains involved in this interaction have not been defined. In p21 Ras, the alpha2 helix of the Switch 2 domain undergoes a major conformational change upon GTP hydrolysis. Therefore, we hypothesized that the corresponding region in Rab1B might play a key role in the interaction with REP. Introduction of amino acid substitutions (I73N, Y78D, and A81D) into the putative alpha2 helix of Myc-tagged Rab1B prevented prenylation of the recombinant protein in cell-free assays, whereas mutations in the alpha3 and alpha4 helices did not. Additionally, upon transient expression in transfected HEK-293 cells, the Myc-Rab1B alpha2 helix mutants were not efficiently prenylated as determined by incorporation of [3H]mevalonate. Metabolic labeling studies using [32P]orthophosphate indicated that the poor prenylation of the Rab1B alpha2 helix mutants was not directly correlated with major disruptions in guanine nucleotide binding or intrinsic GTPase activity. Finally, gel filtration analysis of cytosolic fractions from 293 cells that were coexpressing T7 epitope-tagged REP with various Myc-Rab1B constructs revealed that mutations in the alpha2 helix of Rab1B prevented the association of nascent (i.e., nonprenylated) Rab1B with REP. These data indicate that the Switch 2 domain of Rab1B is a key structural determinant for REP interaction and that nucleotide-dependent conformational changes in this region are largely responsible for the selective interaction of REP with the GDP-bound form of the Rab substrate.

Abstract
Rab proteins have been primarily implicated in vesicle docking as regulators of SNARE pairing. Recent findings, however, indicate that their function in vesicle trafficking can go beyond this role, and a number of proteins, unrelated to each other, have been identified as putative Rab effectors. Although the GTPase switch of Rab proteins is highly conserved, functional mechanisms may be highly diversified among members of the Rab family.

Abstract
Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) plays an important role in regulating the GDP/GTP cycle of small GTP binding proteins of the Rab family. It also regulates their association to membranes. The small family of Rab-GDI consists of several closely related isoforms, the functional differences between which are still unknown. Here we show that multiple GDI isoforms are expressed in rat parotid gland and that the individual GDI isoforms have a characteristic expression both at the RNA and at the protein level, during the parotid secretory cycle. GDIalpha, the major isoform in brain, is expressed throughout the secretory process and is equally distributed between cytoplasmic and membranous fractions. In contrast, an isoform related to, but different from GDIbeta is found predominantly in the cytoplasmic fraction and its expression is detected only after beta-adrenergic stimulation of the gland, at the end of the secretion phase, when exocytosis is already completed. The induction of such a GDI isoform at the beginning of the recovery stage correlates with the expression pattern of Rab1 and Rab5, but not Rab2 and Rab4. Our results suggest different functional roles for multiple GDI isoforms along the secretion and recovery phases in rat parotid gland.

Abstract
The cDNA encoding a Ypt/Rab guanosine dissociation inhibitor (Ypt-GDI) was isolated from the multicellular green alga Volvox carteri, representing the first complete plant gdi gene described. The gdiV1 gene occurs as a single copy in the algal genome, indicating that its product regulates all YptV proteins from Volvox. The derived GDI protein (GDIV1p) shows high similarity to animal and fungal GDIs. A specific antibody developed against GDIV1p detected the protein throughout the whole Volvox life-cycle. GDIV1p was localized in the cytoplasm and in the algal flagellum. This is in line with earlier findings of a dual localization of Ypt proteins both in the cell body and in the motility organelle, and indicates a novel role of the GDI/Ypt system, possibly in intraflagellar transport.

Abstract
We have identified the Rab1B effector-domain mutant (D44N) that, when geranylgeranylated by Rab:geranylgeranyltransferase (GGTase II) in cell-free systems or intact cells, fails to form detectable complexes with GDP-dissociation inhibitors (GDIs). GDI-Rab complexes were collected on anti-FLAG affinity beads after incubating recombinant geranylgeranylated Rab1B with FLAG epitope-tagged GDI in vitro, or transiently coexpressing Myc-tagged Rab1B with FLAG-GDI-alpha or FLAG-GDI-2 in human embryonal kidney 293 cells. [3H]Mevalonate labeling and immunoprecipitation studies confirmed that the inability of Myc-Rab1BD44N to associate with GDI in vivo was not due to failure of the mutant to undergo geranylgeranylation. Immunofluorescence localization and immunoblot analysis of subcellular fractions indicated that expressed Myc-Rab1BD44N was efficiently delivered to intracellular membranes in 293 cells. This was confirmed when the fate of the prenylated pool of Rab1BD44N in 293 cells was traced by labeling the geranylgeranyl groups attached to the nascent protein with [3H]meval onate. However, in contrast to the prenylated Rab1BWT, which was distributed in both the membrane and soluble fractions, the prenylated Rab1BD44N was completely absent from the cytosol. Overexpression of Myc-Rab1BD44N did not impair ER --> Golgi glycoprotein trafficking in 293 cells, which was assessed by monitoring the Golgi-dependent processing of coexpressed beta-amyloid precursor protein. The current findings suggest that nascent prenylated Rab1B can be delivered to intracellular membranes in intact cells without forming a stable complex with GDI, but that recycling of prenylated Rab1B to the cytosolic compartment is absolutely dependent on GDI interaction.

Abstract
Small GTP binding proteins of the rab/YPT family are essential regulators of vectorial transport in the eukaryotic cell. Members of the rab/YPT1 family are found on the cytoplasmic surface of distinct intracellular membrane compartments. Membrane attachment is facilitated by a C-terminal geranylgeranyl moiety. In this report we investigated posttranslational modification and membrane binding of the rab6 protein, a member of the rab/YPT family located on the Golgi apparatus. A set of point mutations, which simulate the GDP or GTP bound conformation, was introduced into the rab6 cDNA. The mutated cDNAs were expressed in insect cells and the ability of the protein products to undergo geranylgeranyl modification and membrane association was assessed by Triton X-114 partition and cell fractionation. We report here that the modification of rab6 in insect cells depends on protein conformation. Only the GDP bound form, but not the GTP bound form is isoprenylated and subsequently membrane bound.

Abstract
In vitro synthesis and post-translational prenylation of Rab5 is accomplished using reticulocyte lysate supplemented with prenyl precursors (Sanford, J. C., Pan, Y., and Wessling-Resnick, M. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 23773-23776). When Rab5 is translated in the presence of biotin-lysine-tRNA, it incorporates biotin-lysine into its peptide backbone and is efficiently prenylated; since this modification is dependent on guanine nucleotide binding, biotin-Rab5's functional integrity must be maintained. Prenylated biotin-Rab5 associates with a 45-kDa reticulocyte GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI), sedimenting as a approximately 70-kDa particle on 5-20% sucrose density gradients. The GDI-Rab5 complex can be captured using streptavidin-linked agarose beads. Only Rab5 peptides that are substrates for prenylation are found to cosediment with the lysate GDI on sucrose gradients. Post-translational association of Rab5 and GDI is a novel finding, since previous reports suggested Rab5 remains associated with Rab escort protein (REP) after prenylation (Alexandrov, K., Horiuchi, H., Steele-Mortimer, O., Seabra, M. C., and Zerial, M. (1994) EMBO J. 13, 5262-5273). Since post-translational prenylation is catalytically mediated by REP, our study suggests that a complex between Rab5 and this factor is transient in nature. Thus, newly synthesized and prenylated Rab5 is most likely escorted to its target membrane by a GDI acceptor molecule. Biotin-Rab5 provides a novel tool for future efforts to capture and characterize additional accessory factors required for Rab protein function in vesicle transport.

Abstract
Rab6 is a small GTP-binding protein that belongs to the Ras superfamily and is involved in intra-Golgi transport. Using a two-hybrid system screen of a mouse brain cDNA library, we have isolated several clones encoding proteins that interact with Rab6. Approximately 60% of the clones identified encoded a new mouse Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) isoform. This GDI isoform is distinct from mouse mGDI-1 and mGDI-2, which have been characterized previously, and most likely represents the mouse counterpart of the rat Rab GDI beta isoform. In the two-hybrid system, GDI beta interacts with wild-type Rab6 and Rab5, but not with a GTP-bound Rab6 mutant, or a Rab6 mutant that cannot be post-translationally processed. We further examined whether mouse GDI beta is functional; we show that recombinant mouse GDI beta is able to remove several Rab proteins, including Rab1, Rab2, Rab4, and Rab6, from membranes. The identification of a third GDI isoform in mouse raised the question whether GDI genes belong to a larger multigenic family. We have shown, by Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA, that at least five GDI gene copies exist in both the mouse and rat genomes. In our two-hybrid screen, we have also characterized another clone that specifically interacts with Rab6. This clone was partially sequenced but shows no homology to known sequences. Finally, a third clone, interacting with both Rab5 and Rab6, also appears to encode a novel protein.
