Abstract
Despite being discovered over 60 years ago, the precise role of phospholipase D (PLD) is still being elucidated. PLD enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond of glycerophospholipids producing phosphatidic acid and the free headgroup. PLD family members are found in organisms ranging from viruses, and bacteria to plants, and mammals. They display a range of substrate specificities, are regulated by a diverse range of molecules, and have been implicated in a broad range of cellular processes including receptor signaling, cytoskeletal regulation and membrane trafficking. Recent technological advances including: the development of PLD knockout mice, isoform-specific antibodies, and specific inhibitors are finally permitting a thorough analysis of the in vivo role of mammalian PLDs. These studies are facilitating increased recognition of PLD's role in disease states including cancers and Alzheimer's disease, offering potential as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Arf GAP with Src homology 3 domain, ankyrin repeat, and pleckstrin homology (PH) domain 1 (ASAP1) is a multidomain GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF)-type GTPases. ASAP1 affects integrin adhesions, the actin cytoskeleton, and invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. ASAP1's cellular function depends on its highly-regulated and robust ARF GAP activity, requiring both the PH and the ARF GAP domains of ASAP1, and is modulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). The mechanistic basis of PIP2-stimulated GAP activity is incompletely understood. Here, we investigated whether PIP2 controls binding of the N-terminal extension of ARF1 to ASAP1's PH domain and thereby regulates its GAP activity. Using [Δ17]ARF1, lacking the N terminus, we found that PIP2 has little effect on ASAP1's activity. A soluble PIP2 analog, dioctanoyl-PIP2 (diC8PIP2), stimulated GAP activity on an N terminus-containing variant, [L8K]ARF1, but only marginally affected activity on [Δ17]ARF1. A peptide comprising residues 2-17 of ARF1 ([2-17]ARF1) inhibited GAP activity, and PIP2-dependently bound to a protein containing the PH domain and a 17-amino acid-long interdomain linker immediately N-terminal to the first β-strand of the PH domain. Point mutations in either the linker or the C-terminal α-helix of the PH domain decreased [2-17]ARF1 binding and GAP activity. Mutations that reduced ARF1 N-terminal binding to the PH domain also reduced the effect of ASAP1 on cellular actin remodeling. Mutations in the ARF N terminus that reduced binding also reduced GAP activity. We conclude that PIP2 regulates binding of ASAP1's PH domain to the ARF1 N terminus, which may partially regulate GAP activity.

Abstract
Primary cilia play central roles in signaling during metazoan development. Several key regulators of ciliogenesis and ciliary signaling are mutated in humans, resulting in a number of ciliopathies, including Joubert syndrome (JS). ARL13B is a ciliary GTPase with at least three missense mutations identified in JS patients. ARL13B is a member of the ADP ribosylation factor family of regulatory GTPases, but is atypical in having a non-homologous, C-terminal domain of ∼20 kDa and at least one key residue difference in the consensus GTP-binding motifs. For these reasons, and to establish a solid biochemical basis on which to begin to model its actions in cells and animals, we developed preparations of purified, recombinant, murine Arl13b protein. We report results from assays for solution-based nucleotide binding, intrinsic and GTPase-activating protein-stimulated GTPase, and ARL3 guanine nucleotide exchange factor activities. Biochemical analyses of three human missense mutations found in JS and of two consensus GTPase motifs reinforce the atypical properties of this regulatory GTPase. We also discovered that murine Arl13b is a substrate for casein kinase 2, a contaminant in our preparation from human embryonic kidney cells. This activity, and the ability of casein kinase 2 to use GTP as a phosphate donor, may be a source of differences between our data and previously published results. These results provide a solid framework for further research into ARL13B on which to develop models for the actions of this clinically important cell regulator.

Abstract
The ARF family of regulatory GTPases, within the RAS superfamily, is composed of ~30 members in mammals, including up to six ARF and at least 18 ARF-like (ARL) proteins. They exhibit significant structural and biochemical conservation and regulate a variety of essential cellular processes, including membrane traffic, cell division, and energy metabolism; each with links to human diseases. We previously identified members of the ELMOD family as GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) for ARL2 that displayed crossover activity for ARFs as well. To further characterize the GAP activities of the three human ELMODs as GAPs we developed new preparations of each after overexpression in human embryonic kidney (HEK293T) cells. This allowed much higher specific activities and enhanced stability and solubility of the purified proteins. The specificities of ELMOD1-3 as GAPs for six different members of the ARF family were determined and found to display wide variations, which we believe will reveal differences in cellular functions of family members. The non-opioid sigma-1 receptor (S1R) was identified as a novel effector of GAP activity of ELMOD1-3 proteins as its direct binding to either ELMOD1 or ELMOD2 resulted in loss of GAP activity. These findings are critical to understand the roles of ELMOD proteins in cell signaling in general and in the inner ear specifically, and open the door to exploration of the regulation of their GAP activities via agonists or antagonists of the S1R.

Abstract
Interactions among ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs), various adaptor proteins, and membrane lipids are essential for intracellular vesicle transport of a variety of cellular materials. Here, we present nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based information on the nature of the interaction of yeast Arf1 (yArf1) and the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of four-phosphate-adaptor protein 1 (Fapp1) as it occurs at a model membrane surface. Interactions favor a model in which Fapp1 is partially embedded in the membrane and interacts with a membrane-associated Arf1 molecule primarily through contacts between residues in switch I of Arf1 and regions near and under the solution exposed C-terminal extension of the PH domain. The Arf1 binding site on Fapp1-PH is distinct from a positively charged phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) binding site. A structural model is constructed that supports coincidence detection of both activated ARF and PI4P as a mechanism facilitating Fapp1 recruitment to membranes.

Abstract
The proteins that possess guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity, which include about ~800 G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs),1 15 Arf GEFs,2 81 Rho GEFs,3 8 Ras GEFs,4 and others for other families of GTPases,5 catalyze the exchange of GTP for GDP on all regulatory guanine nucleotide binding proteins. Despite their importance as catalysts, relatively few exchange factors (we are aware of only eight for ras superfamily members) have been rigorously characterized kinetically.5-13 In some cases, kinetic analysis has been simplistic leading to erroneous conclusions about mechanism (as discussed in a recent review14). In this paper, we compare two approaches for determining the kinetic properties of exchange factors: (i) examining individual equilibria, and; (ii) analyzing the exchange factors as enzymes. Each approach, when thoughtfully used,14,15 provides important mechanistic information about the exchange factors. The analysis as enzymes is described in further detail. With the focus on the production of the biologically relevant guanine nucleotide binding protein complexed with GTP (G•GTP), we believe it is conceptually simpler to connect the kinetic properties to cellular effects. Further, the experiments are often more tractable than those used to analyze the equilibrium system and, therefore, more widely accessible to scientists interested in the function of exchange factors.

Abstract
The small GTPase Arl6 is implicated in the ciliopathic human genetic disorder Bardet-Biedl syndrome, acting at primary cilia in recruitment of the octomeric BBSome complex, which is required for specific trafficking events to and from the cilium in eukaryotes. Here we describe functional characterisation of Arl6 in the flagellated model eukaryote Trypanosoma brucei, which requires motility for viability. Unlike human Arl6 which has a ciliary localisation, TbARL6 is associated with electron-dense vesicles throughout the cell body following co-translational modification by N-myristoylation. Similar to the related protein ARL-3A in T. brucei, modulation of expression of ARL6 by RNA interference does not prevent motility but causes a significant reduction in flagellum length. Tubulin is identified as an ARL6 interacting partner, suggesting that ARL6 may act as an anchor between vesicles and cytoplasmic microtubules. We provide evidence that the interaction between ARL6 and the BBSome is conserved in unicellular eukaryotes. Overexpression of BBS1 leads to translocation of endogenous ARL6 to the site of exogenous BBS1 at the flagellar pocket. Furthermore, a combination of BBS1 overexpression and ARL6 RNAi has a synergistic inhibitory effect on cell growth. Our findings indicate that ARL6 in trypanosomes contributes to flagellum biogenesis, most likely through an interaction with the BBSome.

Abstract
Brag2, a Sec7 domain (sec7d)-containing guanine nucleotide exchange factor, regulates cell adhesion and tumor cell invasion. Brag2 catalyzes nucleotide exchange, converting Arf·GDP to Arf·GTP. Brag2 contains a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, and its nucleotide exchange activity is stimulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)). Here we determined kinetic parameters for Brag2 and examined the basis for regulation by phosphoinositides. Using myristoylated Arf1·GDP as a substrate, the k(cat) was 1.8 ± 0.1/s as determined by single turnover kinetics, and the K(m) was 0.20 ± 0.07 μm as determined by substrate saturation kinetics. PIP(2) decreased the K(m) and increased the k(cat) of the reaction. The effect of PIP(2) required the PH domain of Brag2 and the N terminus of Arf and was largely independent of Arf myristoylation. Structural analysis indicated that the linker between the sec7d and the PH domain in Brag2 may directly contact Arf. In support, we found that a Brag2 fragment containing the sec7d and the linker was more active than sec7d alone. We conclude that Brag2 is allosterically regulated by PIP(2) binding to the PH domain and that activity depends on the interdomain linker. Thus, the PH domain and the interdomain linker of Brag2 may be targets for selectively regulating the activity of Brag2.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are essential lipid regulators of trafficking and signaling pathways of all eukaryotic cells. Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) is an intermediate in the synthesis of several important phosphoinositide species but also serves as a regulatory molecule in its own right. Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases are most abundant in the Golgi but are also found in the plasma membrane and in endocytic compartments. To investigate the role of Golgi PtdIns4P in orchestrating trafficking events, we used a unique drug-inducible molecular approach to rapidly deplete PtdIns4P from Golgi membranes by a recruitable Sac1 phosphatase enzyme. The utility of the system was shown by the rapid loss of Golgi localization of PH domains known to bind PtdIns4P after Sac1 recruitment to the Golgi. Acute PtdIns4P depletion prevented the exit of cargo from the Golgi destined to both the plasma membrane and the late endosomes and led to the loss of some but not all clathrin adaptors from the Golgi membrane. Rapid PtdIns4P depletion in the Golgi also impaired but did not eliminate the replenishment of the plasma membrane PtdIns(4,5)P(2) during phospholipase C activation revealing a hitherto unrecognized contribution of Golgi PtdIns4P to this process. This unique approach will allow further studies on the role of phosphoinositides in endocytic compartments that have evaded detection using the conventional long-term manipulations of inositide kinase and phosphatase activities.

Abstract
In this review, I summarize the likely roles played by ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) proteins in the regulation of membrane traffic at the Golgi, from the perspective of the GTPase. The most glaring limitations to the development of a coherent molecular model are highlighted; including incomplete information on the initiation of Arf activation, identification of the "accessory proteins" required for carrier maturation and scission, and those required for directed traffic and fusion at the destination membrane. Though incomplete, the molecular model of carrier biogenesis has developed rapidly in recent years and promises richness in understanding this essential process.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides serve as important spatio-temporal regulators of intracellular trafficking and cell signalling events. In addition to their recognition by specific phosphoinositide binding domains present within cytoplasmic adaptor proteins or membrane integral channels and transporters phosphoinositides may affect membrane transport by eliciting conformational changes within proteins or by regulating enzymatic activities. During adaptor-mediated membrane traffic phosphoinositides form part of coincidence detection systems that aid in targeting pools of specific phosphoinositides to select intracellular transport pathways. In this review, we discuss potential mechanisms for conferring selectivity onto the phosphoinositide code as well as possible avenues for future research.

Abstract
In mammalian cells, phospholipase D activity is tightly regulated by diverse cellular signals, including hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors. Multiple signaling pathways converge upon phospholipase D to modulate cellular actions, such as cell growth, shape, and secretion. We examined the kinetics of protein kinase C and G-protein regulation of mammalian phospholipase D1 (PLD1) in order to better understand interactions between PLD1 and its regulators. Activation by Arf-1, RhoA, Rac1, Cdc42, protein kinase Calpha, and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate displayed surface dilution kinetics, but these effectors modulated different kinetic parameters. PKCalpha activation of PLD1 involves N- and C-terminal PLD domains. Rho GTPases were binding activators, enhancing the catalytic efficiency of a purified PLD1 catalytic domain via effects on Km. Arf-1, a catalytic activator, stimulated PLD1 by enhancing the catalytic constant, kcat. A kinetic description of PLD1 activation by multiple modulators reveals a mechanism for apparent synergy between activators. Synergy was observed only when PLD1 was simultaneously stimulated by a binding activator and a catalytic activator. Surprisingly, synergistic activation was steeply dependent on phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylcholine. Together, these findings suggest a role for PLD1 as a signaling node, in which integration of convergent signals occurs within discrete locales of the cellular membrane.

Abstract
HERC1 is a giant multidomain protein involved in membrane trafficking through its interaction with vesicle coat proteins such as clathrin and ARF. Previously, it has been shown that the RCC1-like domain 1 (RLD1) of HERC1 stimulates guanine nucleotide dissociation on ARF1 and Rab proteins. In this study, we have analyzed whether HERC1 may also regulate ARF6 activity. We show that HERC1, through its RLD1, stimulates GDP release from ARF6 but, unexpectedly, it inhibits GDP/GTP exchange on ARF6 under conditions where ARNO stimulates it. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the activity of HERC1 as a guanine nucleotide release factor requires the presence of PI(4,5)P(2) bound to HERC1's RLD1. In agreement with this, we find that purified HERC1 contains PI(4,5)P(2) bound to the RLD1.

Abstract
The Legionella pneumophila protein RalF is secreted into host cytosol via the Dot/Icm type IV transporter where it acts to recruit ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) to pathogen-containing phagosomes in the establishment of a replicative organelle. The presence in RalF of the Sec7 domain, present in all Arf guanine nucleotide exchange factors, has suggested that recruitment of Arf is an early step in pathogenesis. We have determined the crystal structure of RalF and of the isolated Sec7 domain and found that RalF is made up of two domains. The Sec7 domain is homologous to mammalian Sec7 domains. The C-terminal domain forms a cap over the active site in the Sec7 domain and contains a conserved folding motif, previously observed in adaptor subunits of vesicle coat complexes. The importance of the capping domain and of the glutamate in the "glutamic finger," conserved in all Sec7 domains, to RalF functions was examined using three different assays. These data highlight the functional importance of domains other than Sec7 in Arf guanine nucleotide exchange factors to biological activities and suggest novel mechanisms of regulation of those activities.

Abstract
For many biological molecules, determining their geometry as they exist in a membrane environment is a crucial step in understanding their function. Variable angle sample spinning (VASS) NMR provides a new route to obtaining geometry information on membrane-associating molecules; it has been used here to scale and separate anisotropic contributions to phosphorus chemical shifts in NMR spectra of phosphatidylinositol phosphates. The procedure allows spectral assignment via correlation with isotropic chemical shifts and determination of a family of probable headgroup orientations via interpretation of anisotropic shift contributions. The molecules studied include phosphtidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI(4)P) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2). A membrane-like environment is provided by a dispersion of alkyl-poly(ethylene) glycols and n-alcohols that forms a field-orienting liquid crystal with a director that can be manipulated by varying the sample spinning axis. The experiments presented indicate that the variable angle sample spinning method will provide a direct approach for assignment and extraction of structural information from membrane-associating biomolecules labeled with a wider variety of NMR active isotopes.

Abstract
Proteins that make, consume, and bind to phosphoinositides are important for constitutive membrane traffic. Different phosphoinositides are concentrated in different parts of the central vacuolar pathway, with phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate predominate on Golgi, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate predominate at the plasma membrane, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate the major phosphoinositide on early endosomes, and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate found on late endocytic organelles. This spatial segregation may be the mechanism by which the direction of membrane traffic is controlled. Phosphoinositides increase the affinity of membranes for peripheral membrane proteins that function for sorting protein cargo or for the docking and fusion of transport vesicles. This implies that constitutive membrane traffic may be regulated by the mechanisms that control the activity of the enzymes that produce and consume phosphoinositides. Although the lipid kinases and phosphatases that function in constitutive membrane traffic are beginning to be identified, their regulation is poorly understood.

Abstract
The origin of eukaryotes is one of the major challenges of evolutionary cell biology. Other than the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the steps leading to eukaryotic endomembranes and endoskeleton are poorly understood. Ras-family small GTPases are key regulators of cytoskeleton dynamics, vesicular trafficking and nuclear function. They are specific for eukaryotes and their expansion probably traces the evolution of core eukaryote features. The phylogeny of small GTPases suggests that the first endomembranes to evolve during eukaryote evolution had secretory, and not phagocytic, function. Based on the reconstruction of putative roles for ancestral small GTPases, a hypothetical scenario on the origins of the first endomembranes, the nucleus, and phagocytosis is presented.

Abstract
Melanocytes that lack the GTPase Rab27a (ashen) are disabled in myosin Va-dependent melanosome capture because the association of the myosin with the melanosome surface depends on the presence of this resident melanosomal membrane protein. One interpretation of these observations is that Rab27a functions wholly or in part as the melanosome receptor for myosin Va (Myo5a). Herein, we show that the ability of the myosin Va tail domain to localize to the melanosome and generate a myosin Va null (dilute) phenotype in wild-type melanocytes is absolutely dependent on the presence of exon F, one of two alternatively spliced exons present in the tail of the melanocyte-spliced isoform of myosin Va but not the brain-spliced isoform. Exon D, the other melanocyte-specific tail exon, is not required. Similarly, the ability of full-length myosin Va to colocalize with melanosomes and to rescue their distribution in dilute melanocytes requires exon F but not exon D. These results predict that an interaction between myosin Va and Rab27a should be exon F dependent. Consistent with this, Rab27a present in detergent lysates of melanocytes binds to beads coated with purified, full-length melanocyte myosin Va and melanocyte myosin Va lacking exon D, but not to beads coated with melanocyte myosin Va lacking exon F or brain myosin Va. Moreover, the preparation of melanocyte lysates in the presence of GDP rather than guanosine-5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate reduces the amount of Rab27a bound to melanocyte myosin Va-coated beads by approximately fourfold. Finally, pure Rab27a does not bind to myosin Va-coated beads, suggesting that these two proteins interact indirectly. Together, these results argue that Rab27a is an essential component of a protein complex that serves as the melanosome receptor for myosin Va, suggest that this complex contains at least one additional protein capable of bridging the indirect interaction between Rab27a and myosin Va, and imply that the recruitment of myosin Va to the melanosome surface in vivo should be regulated by factors controlling the nucleotide state of Rab27a.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P(2)) mediates cell motility and changes in cell shape in response to extracellular stimuli. In platelets, it is synthesized from PI4P by PIP5K in response to stimulation of a G-protein-coupled receptor by an agonist, such as the thrombin. In the present study, we have addressed the pathway that induces PIP5K I alpha activation following the addition of thrombin. Under resting condition expressed PIP5K I alpha was predominantly localized in a perinuclear distribution. After stimulation of the thrombin receptor, PAR1, or overexpression of a constitutively active variant of G alpha(q), PIP5K I alpha translocated to the plasma membrane. Movement of PIP5K I alpha to the cell membrane was dependent on both GTP-bound Rac and Rho, but not Arf, because: 1) inactive GDP-bound variants of either Rac or Rho blocked the translocation induced by constitutively active G alpha(q), 2) constitutively GTP-bound active variants of Rac or Rho induced PIP5K I alpha translocation in the absence of other stimuli, and 3) constitutively active variants of Arf1 or Arf6 failed to induce membrane translocation of PIP5K I alpha. In addition, a dominant negative variant of Rho blocked the PIP5K I alpha membrane translocation induced by constitutively active Rac, whereas dominant negative variants of either Rac or Arf6 failed to block PIP5K I alpha membrane translocation induced by constitutively active Rho. This implies that the effect on PIP5K I alpha by Rac is indirect, and requires the activation of Rho. In contrast to the findings with PIP5K I alpha, the related lipid kinase PIP4K failed to undergo translocation after stimulation by small GTP-binding proteins Rac or Rho. We also tested whether membrane localization of PIP5K I alpha correlated with an increase in its lipid kinase activity and found that co-expressing of PIP5K I alpha with either constitutively active G alpha(q), Rac, or Rho led to a 5- to 7-fold increase in PIP5K I alpha activity. Thus, these findings suggest that stimulation of a G-protein-coupled receptor (PAR1) leads to the sequential activation of G alpha(q), Rac, Rho, and PIP5K I alpha. Once activated and translocated to the cell membrane, PIP5K I alpha becomes available to phosphorylate PI4P to generate PI4,5P(2) on the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The effects of binding of myristoylated ADP ribosylation factor 6 (myr-ARF6), an activator of phospholipase D (PLD), to a model membrane were investigated using an electron spin resonance (ESR) labeling technique. Initial studies were conducted in vesicles composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PIP(2)), and cholesterol. Recombinant ARF6 binding significantly enhances defects in both the headgroup and acyl-chain regions of the membrane, which are revealed by the emergence of sharp components in the spectra from a headgroup label, 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy-choline (DPPTC), and a chain label, 10PC, after myr-ARF6 binding. Binding of non-myristoylated ARF6 (non-ARF6) shows markedly reduced effects. Interestingly, no change in spectra from DPPTC was observed upon myr-ARF6 binding when PIP(2) in the vesicles was replaced by other negatively charged lipids, including phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylglycerol, even when normalized for charge. The production of the sharp peak appears to be a specific event, because another GTP binding protein, CDC42, which binds PIP(2) and activates PLD, fails to induce changes in vesicle structure. These results suggest a previously unappreciated role for ARF in mediating a protein/lipid interaction that produces defects in lipid bilayers. This function may serve as an initial event in destabilizing membrane structure for subsequent membrane fusion or biogenesis of vesicles.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factors, a family of small GTPases, are believed to be key regulators of intracellular membrane traffic. However, many biochemical in vitro experiments have led to different models for their involvement in various steps of vesicular transport, and their precise role in living cells is still unclear. We have taken advantage of the powerful yeast genetic system and screened for temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of the ARF1 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By random mutagenesis of the whole open reading frame of ARF1 by error-prone PCR, we isolated eight mutants and examined their phenotypes. arf1 ts mutants showed a variety of transport defects and morphological alterations in an allele-specific manner. Furthermore, intragenic complementation was observed between certain pairs of mutant alleles, both for cell growth and intracellular transport. These results demonstrate that the single Arf1 protein is indeed involved in many different steps of intracellular transport in vivo and that its multiple roles may be dissected by the mutant alleles we constructed.

Abstract
The endgame of cytokinesis can follow one of two pathways depending on developmental context: resolution into separate cells or formation of a stable intercellular bridge. Here we show that the four wheel drive (fwd) gene of Drosophila melanogaster is required for intercellular bridge formation during cytokinesis in male meiosis. In fwd mutant males, contractile rings form and constrict in dividing spermatocytes, but cleavage furrows are unstable and daughter cells fuse together, producing multinucleate spermatids. fwd is shown to encode a phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI 4-kinase), a member of a family of proteins that perform the first step in the synthesis of the key regulatory membrane phospholipid PIP2. Wild-type activity of the fwd PI 4-kinase is required for tyrosine phosphorylation in the cleavage furrow and for normal organization of actin filaments in the constricting contractile ring. Our results suggest a critical role for PI 4-kinases and phosphatidylinositol derivatives during the final stages of cytokinesis.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) constitute a family of structurally related proteins that forms a subset of the Ras superfamily of regulatory GTP-binding proteins. Like other GTPases, activation of ARFs is facilitated by specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). In chromaffin cells, ARF6 is associated with the membrane of secretory granules. Stimulation of intact cells or direct elevation of cytosolic calcium in permeabilized cells triggers the rapid translocation of ARF6 to the plasma membrane and the concomitant activation of phospholipase D (PLD) in the plasma membrane. Both calcium-evoked PLD activation and catecholamine secretion in permeabilized cells are strongly inhibited by a synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal domain of ARF6, suggesting that the ARF6-dependent PLD activation near the exocytotic sites represents a key event in the exocytotic reaction in chromaffin cells. In the present study, we demonstrate the occurrence of a brefeldin A-insensitive ARF6-GEF activity in the plasma membrane and in the cytosol of chromaffin cells. Furthermore, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunoreplica analysis indicate that ARNO, a member of the brefeldin A-insensitive ARF-GEF family, is expressed and predominantly localized in the cytosol and in the plasma membrane of chromaffin cells. Using permeabilized chromaffin cells, we found that the introduction of anti-ARNO antibodies into the cytosol inhibits, in a dose-dependent manner, both PLD activation and catecholamine secretion in calcium-stimulated cells. Furthermore, co-expression in PC12 cells of a catalytically inactive ARNO mutant with human growth hormone as a marker of secretory granules in transfected cells resulted in a 50% inhibition of growth hormone secretion evoked by depolarization with high K(+). The possibility that the plasma membrane-associated ARNO participates in the exocytotic pathway by activating ARF6 and downstream PLD is discussed.

Abstract
The stoichiometry of the binding of GTP to ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) proteins, normally quite low at approximately 0.05 mol/mol protein, was found to increase to a maximum of 1 mol/mol in the presence of effectors. The mechanism of this action was found to result from the ability of these effectors to increase the affinity of ARF for activating guanine nucleotide triphosphates. The existence of a conformation of ARF with low affinity (>100 micrometer) for GTP is proposed. The actions of effectors to increase the equilibrium binding of GTP is interpreted as evidence that these same effectors interact with and modulate the affinity of the inactive ARF for GTP. A new model for these interactions among ARF, effectors, and GTP is proposed, and a preliminary test in cells is supportive of these observations with relevance to signaling in cells.

Abstract
Yeast vacuoles undergo cycles of fragmentation and fusion as part of their transmission to the daughter cell and in response to changes of nutrients and the environment. Vacuole fusion can be reconstituted in a cell free system. We now show that the vacuoles synthesize phosphoinositides during in vitro fusion. Of these phosphoinositides, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P(2)) are important for fusion. Monoclonal antibodies to PI(4,5)P(2), neomycin (a phosphoinositide ligand), and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C interfere with the reaction. Readdition of PI(4, 5)P(2) restores fusion in each case. Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and PI(3,5)P(2) synthesis are not required. PI(4,5)P(2) is necessary for priming, i.e., for the Sec18p (NSF)-driven release of Sec17p (alpha-SNAP), which activates the vacuoles for subsequent tethering and docking. Therefore, it represents the kinetically earliest requirement identified for vacuole fusion so far. Furthermore, PI(4,5)P(2) is required at a step that can only occur after docking but before the BAPTA sensitive step in the latest stage of the reaction. We hence propose that PI(4,5)P(2) controls two steps of vacuole fusion.

Abstract
PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and PtdIns(4,5)P(2) 5-phosphatases play important roles in diverse aspects of cell metabolism, including protein trafficking. However, the relative importance of the PtdIns(4,5)P(2) 5-phosphatases in regulating PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels for specific cell processes is not well understood. Ocrl1 is a PtdIns(4,5)P(2) 5-phosphatase that is deficient in the oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe, a disorder characterized by defects in kidney and lens epithelial cells and mental retardation. Ocrl1 was originally localized to the Golgi in fibroblasts, but a subsequent report suggested a lysosomal localization in a kidney epithelial cell line. In this study we defined the localization of ocrl1 in fibroblasts and in two kidney epithelial cell lines by three methods: immunofluorescence, subcellular fractionation, and a dynamic perturbation assay with brefeldin A. We found that ocrl1 was a Golgi-localized protein in all three cell types and further identified it as a protein of the trans-Golgi network (TGN). The TGN is a major sorting site and has the specialized function in epithelial cells of directing proteins to the apical or basolateral domains. The epithelial cell phenotype in Lowe syndrome and the localization of ocrl1 to the TGN imply that this PtdIns(4,5)P(2) 5-phosphatase plays a role in trafficking.

Abstract
This review focuses on the roles of coat proteins in regulating the membrane traffic of eukaryotic cells. Coat proteins are recruited to the donor organelle membrane from a cytosolic pool by specific small GTP-binding proteins and are required for the budding of coated vesicles. This review first describes the four types of coat complexes that have been characterized so far: clathrin and its adaptors, the adaptor-related AP-3 complex, COPI, and COPII. It then discusses the ascribed functions of coat proteins in vesicular transport, including the physical deformation of the membrane into a bud, the selection of cargo, and the targeting of the budded vesicle. It also mentions how the coat proteins may function in an alternative model for transport, namely via tubular connections, and how traffic is regulated. Finally, this review outlines the evidence that related coat proteins may regulate other steps of membrane traffic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Septins are members of a conserved family of GTPases found in organisms as diverse as budding yeast and mammals. In budding yeast, septins form hetero-oligomeric filaments that lie adjacent to the membrane at the mother-bud neck, whereas in mammals, they concentrate at the cleavage furrow of mitotic cells; in both cases, septins provide a required function for cytokinesis. What directs the location and determines the stability of septin filaments, however, remains unknown. RESULTS Here we show that the mammalian septin H5 is associated with the plasma membrane and specifically binds the phospholipids phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4, 5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)). Deletion analysis revealed that this binding occurs at a site rich in basic residues that is conserved in most septins and is located adjacent to the GTP-binding motif. Phosphoinositide binding was inhibited by mutations within this motif and was also blocked by agents known to associate with PtdInsP(2) or by a peptide corresponding to the predicted PtdInsP(2)-binding sequence of H5. GTP binding and hydrolysis by H5 significantly reduced its PtdInsP(2)-binding capability. Treatment of cells with agents that occluded, dephosphorylated or degraded PtdInsP(2) altered the appearance and localization of H5. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that the interaction of septins with PtdInsP(2) might be an important cellular mechanism for the spatial and temporal control of septin accumulation.

Abstract
Synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], a signaling phospholipid, is primarily carried out by phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase [PI(4)P5K], which has been reported to be regulated by RhoA and Rac1. Unexpectedly, we find that the GTPgammaS-dependent activator of PI(4)P5Kalpha is the small G protein ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and that the activation strictly requires phosphatidic acid, the product of phospholipase D (PLD). In vivo, ARF6, but not ARF1 or ARF5, spatially coincides with PI(4)P5Kalpha. This colocalization occurs in ruffling membranes formed upon AIF4 and EGF stimulation and is blocked by dominant-negative ARF6. PLD2 similarly translocates to the ruffles, as does the PH domain of phospholipase Cdelta1, indicating locally elevated PI(4,5)P2. Thus, PI(4)P5Kalpha is a downstream effector of ARF6 and when ARF6 is activated by agonist stimulation, it triggers recruitment of a diverse but interactive set of signaling molecules into sites of active cytoskeletal and membrane rearrangement.

Abstract
The assembly of clathrin-coated vesicles on Golgi membranes is initiated by the GTP-binding protein ADP ribosylation factor (ARF), which generates high-affinity membrane-binding sites for the heterotetrameric AP-1 adaptor complex. Once bound, the AP-1 recruits clathrin triskelia, which polymerize to form the coat. We have found that ARF.GTP also recruits AP-1 and clathrin onto protein-free liposomes. The efficiency of this process is modulated by the composition of the liposomes, with phosphatidylserine being the most stimulatory phospholipid. There is also a requirement for cytosolic factor(s) other than ARF. Thin-section electron microscopy shows the presence of clathrin-coated buds and vesicles that resemble those formed in vivo. These results indicate that AP-1-containing clathrin-coated vesicles can form in the absence of integral membrane proteins. Thus, ARF.GTP, appropriate lipids, and cytosolic factor(s) are the minimal components necessary for AP-1 clathrin-coat assembly.

Abstract
Signaling roles for phosphoinositides that involve their regulated hydrolysis to generate second messengers have been well characterized. Recent work has revealed additional signaling roles for phosphoinositides that do not involve their hydrolysis. PtdIns 3-P, PtdIns 3,4,5-P3, and PtdIns 4,5-P2 function as site-specific signals on membranes that recruit and/or activate proteins for the assembly of spatially localized functional complexes. A large number of phosphoinositide-binding proteins have been identified as the potential effectors for phosphoinositide signals. Common themes of localized signal generation and the spatially localized recruitment of effector proteins appear to underlie mechanisms employed in signal transduction, cytoskeletal, and membrane trafficking events.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol ()P 5-kinase (PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase) catalyzes the last step in the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2). PtdIns(4,5)P2 is a precursor of diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and is also involved in regulation of actin cytoskeleton remodeling and membrane traffic. To satisfy such varied demands in several aspects of cell physiology, synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P2 must be stringently regulated. In this paper we describe extraction, purification, and characterization of PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase from the plasma membranes of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We also provide evidence that PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase is phosphorylated and inactivated by Cki1, the S. pombe homolog of casein kinase I. Phosphorylation by Cki1 in vitro decreases the activity of PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase. In addition, and most importantly, overexpression of Cki1 in S. pombe results in a reduced synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and in a lower activity of PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase associated with the plasma membrane. These results suggest that PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase is a target of Cki1 in S. pombe and that Cki1 is involved in regulation of PtdIns(4, 5)P2 synthesis by phosphorylating and inactivating PtdIns(4)P 5-kinase.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositolphosphate kinases (PIPkins) are a unique family of enzymes that catalyse the production of phosphorylated inositol lipids. Recent advances have revealed that, due to their ability to utilise a number of different lipid substrates (at least in vitro), this family is potentially able to generate several distinct, physiologically important inositol lipids. Despite their importance, however, our understanding of the regulation of the PIPkins and of their physiological role in cellular signalling and regulation is still poor. Here we describe in turn the diverse physiological functions of the known substrates and major products of the PIPkins. We then examine what is known about the members of the PIPkin family themselves, and their characteristics and regulation.

Abstract
A number of reports suggest that under different conditions leading to cytoskeleton reorganization the GTPase Rac1 and possibly RhoA are downstream targets of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase). In order to gain more insight into this particular signaling pathway, we have addressed the question of a possible direct interaction of PI 3-kinase products with the Rho family GTPases RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42. Using recombinant proteins, we found that Rac1 and, to a lesser extent, RhoA but not Cdc42 were capable to selectively bind to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) in a mixture of crude brain phosphoinositides. Nucleotide-depleted Rac1 was the most efficient, but the GDP- and GTP-bound forms retained significant PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binding activity. This protein-lipid association involved electrostatic as well as hydrophobic interactions, since both phosphate groups located at specific positions of the inositol ring and fatty-acyl chains were absolutely required. Based on the sequence of Rac1, two potential binding sites were identified, one at the C terminus and one in the extra alpha-helical domain. Deletion of these two domains resulted in a complete loss of binding to PI 3-kinase products. Finally, PtdIns(3, 4,5)P3 strongly stimulated GDP dissociation from Rac1 in a dose-dependent manner. In agreement, data obtained in intact cells suggest that PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 might target Rac1 to peculiar membrane domains, allowing formation of specific clusters containing not only small GTPases but other partners bearing pleckstrin homology domains such as specific exchange factors required for Rac1 and RhoA activation.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that require specific guanine nucleotide-exchange proteins (GEPs) to accelerate the conversion of inactive ARF-GDP to active ARF-GTP. Cytohesin-1, a 46-kDa ARF GEP, contains a central Sec7 domain of 188 amino acids similar in sequence to a region of the yeast Sec7 protein. Cytohesin-1 and its 22-kDa Sec7 domain (C-1 Sec7), synthesized in Escherichia coli, were assayed with recombinant non-myristoylated ARFs and related proteins to compare their GEP activities. Both were effective with native mammalian ARFs 1 and 3. Cytohesin-1 accelerated GTPgammaS (guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate) binding to recombinant human ARF1 (rARF1), yeast ARF3, and ARD1 (a 64-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding protein containing a C-terminal ARF domain). In contrast, C-1 Sec7 enhanced GTPgammaS binding to recombinant human ARFs 1, 5, and 6; yeast ARFs 1, 2, and 3; ARD1; two ARD1 mutants that contain the ARF domain; and Delta13ARF1, which lacks the N-terminal alpha-helix. Neither C-1 Sec7 nor cytohesin-1 increased GTPgammaS binding to human ARF-like ARL proteins 1, 2, and 3. Thus, ARLs, initially differentiated from ARFs because of their inability to activate cholera toxin, differ also in their failure to interact functionally with C-1 Sec7 or cytohesin-1. As C-1 Sec7 was much less substrate-specific than cytohesin-1, it appears that structure outside of the Sec7 domain is important for ARF specificity. Data obtained with mutant ARF constructs are all consistent with the conclusion that the ARF N terminus is an important determinant of cytohesin-1 specificity.

Abstract
Secretory granule formation requires selection of soluble and membrane proteins into nascent secretory granules, and exclusion of proteins not required for the function of secretory granules. Both selection and exclusion presumably can occur in the compartment where assembly of the secretory granule begins, the trans most cisternae of the Golgi complex. Current research focused on the initial stages of secretory granule formation includes a search for the 'signals' which may mediate active sorting of components into secretory granules, and the role of aggregation of regulated secretory proteins in sorting. In addition, the temporal sequence of the sorting events in the Golgi, and post-Golgi compartments has gained much attention, as summarized by the alternative but not mutually exclusive 'sorting for entry' vs. 'sorting by retention' models. 'Sorting for entry' which encompasses the most popular models requires selection of cargo and membrane and exclusion of non-secretory granule proteins in the TGN prior to secretory granule formation. 'Sorting by retention' stipulates that protein selection or exclusion may occur after secretory granule formation: secretory granule specific components are retained during maturation of the granule while non-secretory granule molecules are removed in vesicles which bud from maturing secretory granules. Finally, some progress has been made in the identification of cytosolic components involved in the budding of nascent secretory granules from the TGN. This review will focus on the recent data concerning the events in secretory granule formation which occur, in the trans-Golgi network.

Abstract
Coat complexes facilitate the formation of transport vesicles which are essential for proper trafficking of protein and lipids through the secretory pathway. Since its initial identification in the mid-1980s, the COPI coat complex has been credited with mediating multiple distinct transport events and intracellular processes in the exocytic pathway. Not surprisingly, the diversity of these functions has led to significant debate concerning the primary function of COPI. Specifically, within the ER/Golgi and intra-Golgi systems, does COPI mediate anterograde protein transport, retrograde protein transport, or both? This review will focus on the in vivo roles of COPI, primarily examining data from studies of yeast COPI mutants but also including evidence from mammalian systems as appropriate. Some of the current controversies surrounding whether COPI acts directly or indirectly in anterograde and retrograde transport will also be addressed. Because recruitment of COPI to membranes requires the small GTP-binding protein ARF, we will also discuss ARF and proteins that regulate ARF function, and how these proteins might modulate both COPI-driven events and overall membrane composition. Finally, we will point out some of the links still missing from our understanding of COPI-driven events and discuss possible future directions for studies of COPI function.

Abstract
Phospholipase D1 (PLD1) is known to be activated by ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1). We report here that ARF1 co-immunoprecipitates with PLD1 and that the ARF1-dependent PLD activation is induced by the direct interaction between ARF1 and PLD1. We found that RalA, another member of the small GTP-binding proteins, synergistically enhances the ARF1-dependent PLD activity with an EC50 of about 30 nM. Using in vitro binding assay, we show that ARF1 and RalA directly interact with different sites of PLD1. The results suggest that the independent interactions of RalA and ARF1 with PLD1 are responsible for the synergistic activation.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2), an important element in eukaryotic signal transduction, is synthesized either by phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PtdIns(4)P 5K) from phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P) or by phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase (PtdIns(5)P 4K) from phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns(5)P). Two Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes, MSS4 and FAB1, are homologous to mammalian PtdIns(4)P 5Ks and PtdIns(5)P 4Ks. We show here that MSS4 is a functional homolog of mammalian PtdIns(4)P 5K but not of PtdIns(5)P 4K in vivo. We constructed a hemagglutinin epitope-tagged form of Mss4p and found that Mss4p has PtdIns(4)P 5K activity. Immunofluorescent and fractionation studies of the epitope-tagged Mss4p suggest that Mss4p is localized on the plasma membrane, whereas Fab1p is reportedly localized on the vacuolar membrane. A temperature-sensitive mss4-1 mutant was isolated, and its phenotypes at restrictive temperatures were found to include increased cell size, round shape, random distribution of actin patches, and delocalized staining of cell wall chitin. Thus, biochemical and genetic analyses on Mss4p indicated that yeast PtdIns(4)P 5K localized on the plasma membrane is required for actin organization.

We have recently cloned a cDNA encoding a phospholipase D (PLD) from rat brain and named it rPLD1. It shows 90% amino acid identity with the human PLD isoform hPLD1b. We have expressed rPLD1 as a histidine-tagged fusion protein in insect (Sf9) cells using the expression vector pBlueBacHis and purified the recombinant protein to homogeneity by Ni2+-agarose affinity chromatography. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-P2 and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-P3 activated the PLD equipotently, but other acidic phospholipids were ineffective. The activity of rPLD1 was dependent on both Mg2+ and Ca2+. It was specific for phosphatidylcholine and showed a broad dependence on pH with optimum activity at pH 6.5-7.5. The enzyme was inhibited by oleate and activated by the small G proteins ARF3 and RhoA in the presence of guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate. Protein kinase C (PKC)-alpha and -betaII, but not PKC-gamma, -delta, -epsilon, or -zeta, activated rPLD1 in a manner that was stimulated by phorbol ester but did not require ATP. Neither synergistic interactions between ARF3 and RhoA nor between these G proteins and PKC-alpha or -betaII were observed. Recombinant PKC-alpha and -betaII phosphorylated purified rPLD1 to high stoichiometry in vitro, and the phosphorylated PLD exhibited a mobility shift upon electrophoresis. Phosphorylation of the PLD by PKC was correlated with inhibition of its catalytic activity. rPLD1 bound to concanavalin A-Sepharose beads, and its electrophoretic mobility was altered by treatment with endoglycosidase F. The amount of PLD bound to the beads was decreased in a concentration-dependent manner when tunicamycin was added to the Sf9 expression system. Tunicamycin also decreased membrane localization of rPLD1. These results suggest that rPLD1 is a glycosylated protein and that it is negatively regulated by phosphorylation by PKC in vitro.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are approximately 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins recognized as critical components in intracellular vesicular transport and phospholipase D activation. Both guanine nucleotide-exchange proteins and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) for ARFs have been cloned recently. A zinc finger motif near the amino terminus of the ARF1 GAP was required for stimulation of GTP hydrolysis. ARD1 is an ARF family member that differs from other ARFs by the presence of a 46-kDa amino-terminal extension. We had reported that the ARF domain of ARD1 binds specifically GDP and GTP and that the amino-terminal extension acts as a GAP for the ARF domain of ARD1 but not for ARF proteins. The GAP domain of ARD1, synthesized in Escherichia coli, stimulated hydrolysis of GTP bound to the ARF domain of ARD1. Using ARD1 truncations, it appears that amino acids 101-190 are critical for GAP activity, whereas residues 190-333 are involved in physical interaction between the two domains of ARD1 and are required for GTP hydrolysis. The GAP function of the amino-terminal extension of ARD1 required two arginines, an intact zinc finger motif, and a group of residues which resembles a sequence present in Rho/Rac GAPs. Interaction between the two domains of ARD1 required two negatively charged residues (Asp427 and Glu428) located in the effector region of the ARF domain and two basic amino acids (Arg249 and Lys250) found in the amino-terminal extension. The GAP domain of ARD1 thus is similar to ARF GAPs but differs from other GAPs in its covalent association with the GTP-binding domain.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) constitute a family of small monomeric GTPases. ARFs 1 and 3 function in the recruitment of coat proteins to membranes of the Golgi apparatus, whereas ARF6 is localized to the plasma membrane, where it appears to modulate both the assembly of the actin cytoskeleton and endocytosis. Like other GTPases, ARF activation is facilitated by specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). ARNO (ARF nucleotide-binding site opener) is a member of a growing family of ARF-GEFs that share a common, tripartite structure consisting of an N-terminal coiled-coil domain, a central domain with homology to the yeast protein Sec7p, and a C-terminal pleckstrin homology domain. Recently, ARNO and its close homologue cytohesin-1 were found to catalyze in vitro nucleotide exchange on ARF1 and ARF3, respectively, raising the possibility that these GEFs function in the Golgi. However, the actual function of these proteins may be determined in part by their ability to interact with specific ARFs and in part by their subcellular localization. We report here that in vitro ARNO can stimulate nucleotide exchange on both ARF1 and ARF6. Furthermore, based on subcellular fractionation and immunolocalization experiments, we find that ARNO is localized to the plasma membrane in mammalian cells rather than the Golgi. It is therefore likely that ARNO functions in plasma membrane events by modulating the activity of ARF6 in vivo. These findings are consistent with the previous observation that cytohesin-1 regulates the adhesiveness of alphaLbeta2 integrins at the plasma membrane of lymphocytes.
