Abstract
Studies of synthesis, turnover, and secretion of macromolecules in cell culture are carried out to address mechanisms of cellular and physiological importance. Culture systems have been developed to mimic the in vivo situation as much as possible. In line with this aim, epithelial and endothelial cells have been grown on filters for more than three decades. Growing such cells on permeable support allows for nutrient uptake via the basolateral membrane of tight epithelial monolayers, from a medium reservoir underneath the filter. While this basolateral medium reservoir resembles the blood supply, the apical medium reservoir resembles the organ lumen. Growing the cells in a polarized manner allows for studies of differential transport and localization of apical and basolateral proteins and of endocytic and secretory transport at both sides of the epithelium. Here we describe how metabolic labeling of proteoglycans (PGs) with 35S-labeled sulfate enables analysis of synthesis of different types of PGs, with respect to size, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chain length, and charge. We also describe protocols for studies of intracellular PG sorting, in the apical and basolateral direction in polarized epithelial cells, in the absence and presence of inhibitors of synthesis and transport.

Abstract
The trafficking of newly synthesized Na,K-ATPase and E-cadherin is observed in polarized epithelial cells. E-cadherin’s exit from the Golgi complex is not susceptible to 19°C temperature block. Furthermore, these proteins exit the Golgi and are delivered to the basolateral cell surface in separate vascular carriers. Recent evidence indicates that newly synthesized membrane proteins that share the same distributions in the plasma membranes of polarized epithelial cells can pursue a variety of distinct trafficking routes as they travel from the Golgi complex to their common destination at the cell surface. In most polarized epithelial cells, both the Na,K-ATPase and E-cadherin are localized to the basolateral domains of the plasma membrane. To examine the itineraries pursued by newly synthesized Na,K-ATPase and E-cadherin in polarized MDCK epithelial cells, we used the SNAP and CLIP labeling systems to fluorescently tag temporally defined cohorts of these proteins and observe their behaviors simultaneously as they traverse the secretory pathway. These experiments reveal that E-cadherin is delivered to the cell surface substantially faster than is the Na,K-ATPase. Furthermore, the surface delivery of newly synthesized E-cadherin to the plasma membrane was not prevented by the 19°C temperature block that inhibits the trafficking of most proteins, including the Na,K-ATPase, out of the trans-Golgi network. Consistent with these distinct behaviors, populations of newly synthesized E-cadherin and Na,K-ATPase become separated from one another within the trans-Golgi network, suggesting that they are sorted into different carrier vesicles that mediate their post-Golgi trafficking.

JC polyomavirus attachment, entry, and trafficking: unlocking the keys to a fatal infection. J Neurovirol 2014; 21:601-13.

Abstract
The human JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) causes a lifelong persistent infection in the reno-urinary tract in the majority of the adult population worldwide. In healthy individuals, infection is asymptomatic, while in immunocompromised individuals, the virus can spread to the central nervous system and cause a fatal demyelinating disease known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). There are currently very few treatment options for this rapidly progressing and devastating disease. Understanding the basic biology of JCPyV-host cell interactions is critical for the development of therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat PML. Research in our laboratory has focused on gaining a detailed mechanistic understanding of the initial steps in the JCPyV life cycle in order to define how JCPyV selectively targets cells in the kidney and brain. JCPyV requires sialic acids to attach to host cells and initiate infection, and JCPyV demonstrates specificity for the oligosaccharide lactoseries tetrasaccharide c (LSTc) with an α2,6-linked sialic acid. Following viral attachment, JCPyV entry is facilitated by the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)2 family of serotonin receptors via clathrin-dependent endocytosis. JCPyV then undergoes retrograde transport to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where viral disassembly begins. A novel retrograde transport inhibitor termed Retro-2(cycl) prevents trafficking of JCPyV to the ER and inhibits both initial virus infection and infectious spread in cell culture. Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which JCPyV establishes infection will open up new avenues for the prevention or treatment of virus-induced disease.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Polyomaviruses are ubiquitous pathogens that cause severe disease in immunocompromised individuals. JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is the causative agent of the fatal demyelinating disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), whereas BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) causes polyomavirus-induced nephropathy and hemorrhagic cystitis. Vaccines or antiviral therapies targeting these viruses do not exist, and treatments focus on reducing the underlying causes of immunosuppression. We demonstrate that retro-2(cycl), an inhibitor of ricin and Shiga-like toxins (SLTs), inhibits infection by JCPyV, BKPyV, and simian virus 40. Retro-2(cycl) inhibits retrograde transport of polyomaviruses to the endoplasmic reticulum, a step necessary for productive infection. Retro-2(cycl) likely inhibits polyomaviruses in a way similar to its ricin and SLT inhibition, suggesting an overlap in the cellular host factors used by bacterial toxins and polyomaviruses. This work establishes retro-2(cycl) as a potential antiviral therapy that broadly inhibits polyomaviruses and possibly other pathogens that use retrograde trafficking. IMPORTANCE The human polyomaviruses JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) and BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) cause rare but severe diseases in individuals with reduced immune function. During immunosuppression, JCPyV disseminates from the kidney to the central nervous system and destroys oligodendrocytes, resulting in the fatal disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk of BKPyV-induced nephropathy, which results in kidney necrosis and loss of the transplanted organ. There are currently no effective therapies for JCPyV and BKPyV. We show that a small molecule named retro-2(cycl) protects cells from infection with JCPyV and BKPyV by inhibiting intracellular viral transport. Retro-2(cycl) treatment reduces viral spreading in already established infections and may therefore be able to control infection in affected patients. Further optimization of retro-2(cycl) may result in the development of an effective antiviral therapy directed toward pathogens that use retrograde trafficking to infect their hosts.

Abstract
Background Intracellular membrane traffic is an essential component of the membrane remodeling that supports lamellipodium extension during cell adhesion. The membrane trafficking pathways that contribute to cell adhesion have not been fully elucidated, but recent studies have implicated SNARE proteins. Here, the functions of several SNAREs (SNAP23, VAMP3, VAMP4 and syntaxin13) are characterized during the processes of cell spreading and membrane ruffling. Results We report the first description of a SNARE complex, containing SNAP23, syntaxin13 and cellubrevin/VAMP3, that is induced by cell adhesion to an extracellular matrix. Impairing the function of the SNAREs in the complex using inhibitory SNARE domains disrupted the recycling endosome, impeded delivery of integrins to the cell surface, and reduced haptotactic cell migration and spreading. Blocking SNAP23 also inhibited the formation of PMA-stimulated, F-actin-rich membrane ruffles; however, membrane ruffle formation was not significantly altered by inhibition of VAMP3 or syntaxin13. In contrast, membrane ruffling, and not cell spreading, was sensitive to inhibition of two SNAREs within the biosynthetic secretory pathway, GS15 and VAMP4. Consistent with this, formation of a complex containing VAMP4 and SNAP23 was enhanced by treatment of cells with PMA. The results reveal a requirement for the function of a SNAP23-syntaxin13-VAMP3 complex in the formation of lamellipodia during cell adhesion and of a VAMP4-SNAP23-containing complex during PMA-induced membrane ruffling. Conclusions Our findings suggest that different SNARE-mediated trafficking pathways support membrane remodeling during ECM-induced lamellipodium extension and PMA-induced ruffle formation, pointing to important mechanistic differences between these processes.

Abstract
Proteins leave the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for the plasma membrane via the classical secretory pathway, but routes bypassing the Golgi apparatus have also been observed. Apical and basolateral protein secretion in epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells display differential sensitivity to Brefeldin A (BFA), where low concentrations retard apical transport, while basolateral transport still proceeds through intact Golgi cisternae. We now describe that BFA-mediated retardation of glycoprotein and proteoglycan transport through the Golgi apparatus induces surface transport of molecules lacking Golgi modifications, possessing those acquired in the ER. Low concentrations of BFA induces apical Golgi bypass, while higher concentrations were required to induce basolateral Golgi bypass. Addition of the KDEL ER-retrieval sequence to model protein cores allowed observation of apical Golgi bypass in untreated MDCK cells. Basolateral Golgi bypass was only observed after the addition of BFA or upon cholesterol depletion. Thus, in MDCK cells, an apical Golgi bypass route can transport cargo from pre-Golgi organelles in untreated cells, while the basolateral bypass route is inducible.

Abstract
Epithelial cells assemble into three-dimensional aggregates to generate lumen-containing organ substructures. Cells therein contact the extracellular matrix with their basal surface, neighbouring cells with their contact surface and the lumen with their apical surface. We investigated the development of single MDCK cells into aggregates with lumen using quantitative live-cell imaging to identify morphogenetic rules for lumen formation. In two-cell aggregates, membrane insertion into the contact surface established a preapical patch (PAP) characterized by the presence of the apical marker gp135, microvilli and the absence of E-cadherin. This PAP originated from a compartment that had hallmarks of an apical recycling endosome, and matured through Brefeldin-A-sensitive membrane trafficking and the establishment of tight junctions around itself. As a result of the activity of water and ion channels, an optically resolvable lumen formed. Initially, this lumen enlarged without changes in aggregate volume or cell number but with decreasing cell volumes. Additionally, the ROCK1/2-myosin-II pathway counteracted PAP and lumen formation. Thus, lumen formation results from PAP establishment, PAP maturation, lumen initiation and lumen enlargement. These phases correlate with distinct cell surface and volume patterns, which suggests that such morphometric parameters are regulated by trafficking, ROCK-mediated contractility and hydrostatic pressure or vice versa.

Abstract
An image-based phenotypic screen was developed to identify small molecule regulators of intracellular traffic. Using this screen we found that AG1478, a previously known inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor, had epidermal growth factor receptor-independent activity in inducing the disassembly of the Golgi in human cells. Similar to brefeldin A (BFA), a known disrupter of the Golgi, AG1478 inhibits the activity of small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor. Unlike BFA, AG1478 exhibits low cytotoxicity and selectively targets the cis-Golgi without affecting endosomal compartment. We show that AG1478 inhibits GBF1, a large nucleotide exchange factor for the ADP-ribosylation factor, in a Sec7 domain-dependent manner and mimics the phenotype of a GBF1 mutant that has an inactive mutation. The treatment with AG1478 leads to the recruitment of GBF1 to the vesicular-tubular clusters adjacent to the endoplasmic reticulum exit sites, a step only transiently observed previously in the presence of BFA. We propose that the treatment with AG1478 delineates a membrane trafficking intermediate step that depends upon the Sec7 domain.

Abstract
Epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) play an essential role in maintaining total body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. As such, abnormal expression of ENaC at the cell surface is linked to several important human diseases. Although the stability of ENaC subunits has been extensively studied by protein biochemical analysis, the half-life of the functional channel in the apical membrane remains controversial. Because the functional stability of the multisubunit channel may be more physiologically relevant than the stability of individual subunit proteins, we performed studies of functional ENaC channels using A6 epithelial cells, a Xenopus laevis distal nephron cell line. We recorded single-channel activity in over 400 cells with the translation blockers cycloheximide (CHX) or puromycin, as well as the intracellular protein trafficking inhibitors brefeldin A (BFA) or nocodazole. Our cell-attached, single-channel recordings allow us to quantify the channel density in the apical membrane, as well as to determine channel open probability (Po) from control (untreated) cells and from cells at different times of drug treatment. The data suggest that the half-life of ENaC channels is approximately 3.5 h following puromycin, BFA, and nocodazole treatment. Furthermore, these three drugs had no significant effect on the Po of ENaC for at least 6 h after exposure. A decrease in apical channel number and Po was observed following 2 h of CHX inhibition of protein synthesis, and the apparent channel half-life was closer to 1.5 h following CHX treatment. Treatment of cells with the translation inhibitors does not alter the expression of the protease furin, and therefore changes in protease activity cannot explain changes in ENaC Po. Confocal images show that BFA and nocodazole both disrupt most of the Golgi apparatus after 1-h exposure. In cells with the Golgi totally disrupted by overnight exposure to BFA, 20% of apical ENaC channels remained functional. This result suggests that ENaC is delivered to the apical membrane via a pathway that might bypass the Golgi vesicular trafficking pathway, or that there might be two pools of channels with markedly different half-lives in the apical membrane.

Abstract
Vectorial Na(+) absorption across the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron plays a key role in the regulation of extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure. Within this nephron segment, Na(+) diffuses from the urinary fluid into principal cells through an apical, amiloride-sensitive, epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC), which is considered to be the rate-limiting step for Na(+) absorption. We have reported that increases in tubular flow rate in microperfused rabbit cortical collecting ducts (CCDs) lead to increases in net Na(+) absorption and that increases in laminar shear stress activate ENaC expressed in oocytes by increasing channel open probability. We therefore examined whether flow stimulates net Na(+) absorption (J(Na)) in CCDs by increasing channel open probability or by increasing the number of channels at the apical membrane. Both baseline and flow-stimulated J(Na) in CCDs were mediated by ENaC, as J(Na) was inhibited by benzamil. Flow-dependent increases in J(Na) were observed following treatment of tubules with reagents that altered membrane trafficking by disrupting microtubules (colchicine) or Golgi (brefeldin A). Furthermore, reducing luminal Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]) or chelating intracellular [Ca(2+)] with BAPTA did not prevent the flow-dependent increase in J(Na). Extracellular trypsin has been shown to activate ENaC by increasing channel open probability, and we observed that trypsin significantly enhanced J(Na) when tubules were perfused at a slow flow rate. However, trypsin did not further enhance J(Na) in CCDs perfused at fast flow rates. Similarly, the shear-induced increase in benzamil-sensitive J(Na) in oocytes expressing protease resistance ENaC mutants was similar to that of controls. Our results suggest the rise in J(Na) accompanying increases in luminal flow rates reflects an increase in channel open probability.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) regulates biosynthetic membrane traffic at multiple steps and differentially affects the surface delivery of apically and basolaterally destined proteins in polarized cells. Two phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (PI4Ks) have been localized to the Golgi complex in mammalian cells, type III PI4Kbeta (PI4KIIIbeta) and type II PI4Kalpha (PI4KIIalpha). Here we report that PI4KIIIbeta and PI4KIIalpha localize to discrete subcompartments of the Golgi complex in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. PI4KIIIbeta was enriched in early Golgi compartments, whereas PI4KIIalpha colocalized with markers of the trans-Golgi network (TGN). To understand the temporal and spatial control of PI4P generation across the Golgi complex, we quantitated the steady state distribution of a fluorescent PI4P-binding domain relative to cis/medial Golgi and TGN markers in transiently transfected MDCK cells. The density of the signal from this PI4P reporter was roughly 2-fold greater in the early Golgi compartments compared with that of the TGN. Furthermore, this ratio could be modulated in vivo by overexpression of catalytically inactive PI4KIIIbeta and PI4KIIalpha or in vitro by the PI4KIIIbeta inhibitor wortmannin. Our data suggest that both PI4KIIIbeta and PI4KIIalpha contribute to the compartmental regulation of PI4P synthesis within the Golgi complex. We discuss our results with respect to the kinetic effects of modulating PI4K activity on polarized biosynthetic traffic in MDCK cells.

Abstract
Polarized epithelial cells efficiently sort newly synthesized apical and basolateral proteins into distinct transport carriers that emerge from the trans-Golgi network (TGN), and this sorting is recapitulated in nonpolarized cells. While the targeting signals of basolaterally destined proteins are generally cytoplasmically disposed, apical sorting signals are not typically accessible to the cytosol, and the transport machinery required for segregation and export of apical cargo remains largely unknown. Here we investigated the molecular requirements for TGN export of the apical marker influenza hemagglutinin (HA) in HeLa cells using an in vitro reconstitution assay. HA was released from the TGN in intact membrane-bound compartments, and export was dependent on addition of an ATP-regenerating system and exogenous cytosol. HA release was inhibited by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS) as well as under conditions known to negatively regulate apical transport in vivo, including expression of the acid-activated proton channel influenza M2. Interestingly, release of HA was unaffected by depletion of ADP-ribosylation factor 1, a small GTPase that has been implicated in the recruitment of all known adaptors and coat proteins to the Golgi complex. Furthermore, regulation of HA release by GTPgammaS or M2 expression was unaffected by cytosolic depletion of ADP-ribosylation factor 1, suggesting that HA sorting remains functionally intact in the absence of the small GTPase. These data suggest that TGN sorting and export of influenza HA does not require classical adaptors involved in the formation of other classes of exocytic carriers and thus appears to proceed via a novel mechanism.

Abstract
Tubules may arise during branching morphogenesis through several mechanisms including wrapping, budding, cavitation and cord hollowing. In this report we present evidence that is consistent with renal proximal tubule formation through a process of cord hollowing (a process that requires the concomitant establishment of apicobasal polarity and lumen formation). Pockets of lumen filled with Lucifer Yellow were observed within developing cords of rabbit renal proximal tubule cells in matrigel. The observation of Lucifer Yellow accumulation suggests functional polarization. In the renal proximal tubule Lucifer Yellow is initially transported intracellularly by means of a basolaterally oriented p-aminohippurate transport system, followed by apical secretion into the lumen of the nephron. Consistent with such polarization in developing tubules, Triticum vulgare was observed to bind to the lumenal membranes within pockets of Lucifer Yellow-filled lumens. As this lectin binds apically in the rabbit renal proximal tubule, T. vulgare binding is indicative of the emergence of an apical domain before the formation of a contiguous lumen. Both epidermal growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor stimulated the formation of transporting tubules. The stimulatory effect of both epidermal growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor on tubulogenesis was inhibited by PD98059, a mitogen activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor, rather than by wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase. Nevertheless, Lucifer Yellow-filled lumens were observed in tubules that formed in the presence of PD98059 as well as with wortmannin, indicating that these drugs did not prevent the process of cavitation. By contrast, rapamycin, an inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin, prevented the process of cavitation without affecting the frequency of formation of developing cords. Multicellular cysts were observed to form in 8-bromocyclic AMP-treated cultures. As these cysts did not similarly accumulate Lucifer Yellow lumenally, it is very likely that processes other than organic anion accumulation are involved in the process of cystogenesis, including the Na,K-ATPase.

Abstract
The rat ileal sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (Asbt) is a polytopic membrane glycoprotein, which is specifically expressed on the apical domain of the ileal brush-border membrane. In the present study, an essential 14-amino acid (aa 335-348) sorting signal was defined on the cytoplasmic tail of Asbt with two potential phosphorylation sites motifs for casein kinase II ((335)SFQE) and protein kinase C (PKC) ((339)TNK). Two-dimension NMR spectra analysis demonstrated that a tetramer, (340)NKGF, which overlaps with the potential PKC site within the 14-mer signal sequence, adopts a type I beta-turn conformation. Replacement of the potential phosphorylation residue Ser(335) and Thr(339) with alanine or deletion of either the 4 ((335)SFQE) or 10 aa (338-348, containing (339)TNKGF) from the C terminus of Asbt resulted in a significantly decreased initial bile acid transport activity and increased the basolateral distribution of the mutants by 2-3-fold compared with that of wild type Asbt. Deletion of the entire last 14 amino acids (335-348) from the C terminus of Asbt abolished the apical expression of the truncated Asbt. Moreover, replacement of the cytoplasmic tail of the liver basolateral membrane protein, Na(+)/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide, with the 14-mer peptide tail of Asbt redirected the chimera to the apical domain. In contrast, a chimera consisting of the 14-mer peptide of Asbt fused with green fluorescent protein was expressed in an intracellular transport vesicle-like distribution in transfected Madin-Darby canine kidney and COS 7 cells. This suggests that the apical localization of the 14-mer peptide requires a membrane anchor to support proper targeting. The results from biological reagent treatment and low temperature shift (20 degrees C) suggests that Asbt follows a transport vesicle-mediated apical sorting pathway that is brefeldin A-sensitive and insensitive to protein glycosylation, monensin treatment, and low temperature shift.

Abstract
Madin-Darby canine kidney cells are more resistant than most other cell types to the classical effects of brefeldin A (BFA) treatment, the induction of retrograde transport of Golgi cisternae components to the endoplasmic reticulum. Here we show that sulfation of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs), and proteins in the Golgi apparatus is dramatically reduced by low concentrations of BFA in which Golgi morphology is unaffected and secretion still takes place. BFA treatment seems to reduce sulfation by inhibition of the uptake of adenosine 3'-phosphate 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) into the Golgi lumen, and the inhibitory effect of BFA was similar for HSPGs, CSPGs, and proteins. This was different from the effect of chlorate, a well known inhibitor of PAPS synthesis in the cytoplasm. Low concentrations of chlorate (2-5 mm) inhibited sulfation of CSPGs and proteins only, whereas higher concentrations (15-30 mm) were required to inhibit sulfation of HSPGs. Golgi fractions pretreated with BFA had a reduced capacity for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), but control level capacity could be restored by the addition of cytosol from various sources. This indicates that the PAPS pathway to the Golgi lumen depends on a BFA-sensitive factor that is present both on Golgi membranes and in the cytoplasm.

Abstract
ORP150-150-kd oxygen-regulated protein-is a novel stress protein localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To investigate the role of ORP150 in delayed neuronal cell death, the authors examined its expression in the gerbil brain after an ischemic insult. The expression of ORP150 antigen, as well as its transcripts, was observed in the CA1 region after the occlusion of the common carotid artery, and the preconditioning enhanced this expression. In cultured neurons, exposure either to hypoxia or to glutamate induced the expression of ORP150, and this effect was also observed by treating the culture with breferdin A or thapsigargin, indicating that both glutamate and hypoxia can cause stress in the ER (ER stress). Neurons became more vulnerable to these stresses following treatment with cycloheximide or after infection with an adenovirus carrying the ORP150-antisense structure. In contrast, the overexpression of ORP150 by an adenovirus suppressed neuronal cell death, and this was accompanied by the suppression of Ca2+ elevation and proteolytic activity induced by glutamate. Further, overexpression of ORP150 in CA1 neurons by an adenovirus carrying the ORP150-sense structure suppressed delayed neuronal cell death after ischemia. These data suggest a possible function of ORP150 as an intracellular apparatus that participates in a protective response in ischemic tolerance.

Abstract
The human Na(+)-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp) is located exclusively on the basolateral membrane of hepatocyte, but the mechanisms underlying its membrane sorting domain have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, a green fluorescent protein-fused human NTCP (NTCP-GFP) was constructed using the polymerase chain reaction and was stably transfected into Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) and Caco-2 cells. Taurocholate uptake studies and confocal microscopy demonstrated that the polarity of basolateral surface expression of NTCP-GFP was maintained in MDCK cells but was lost in Caco-2 cells. Nocodazole (33 microM), an agent that causes microtubular depolymerization, partially disrupted the basolateral localization of NTCP-GFP by increasing apical surface expression to 33.5% compared with untreated cells (P < 0.05). Brefeldin A (BFA; 1-2 microM) disrupted the polarized basolateral localization of NTCP, but monensin (1.4 microM) had no affect on NTCP-GFP localization. In addition, low-temperature shift (20 degrees C) did not affect the polarized basolateral surface sorting of NTCP-GFP and repolarization of this protein after BFA interruption. In summary, these data suggest that the polarized basolateral localization of human NTCP is cell specific and is mediated by a novel sorting pathway that is BFA sensitive and monensin and low-temperature shift insensitive. The process may also involve microtubule motors.

Abstract
Enteropeptidase is a heterodimeric type II membrane protein of the brush border of duodenal enterocytes. In this location, enteropeptidase cleaves and activates trypsinogen, thereby initiating the activation of other intestinal digestive enzymes. Recombinant bovine enteropeptidase was sorted directly to the apical surface of polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. Replacement of the cytoplasmic and signal anchor domains with a cleavable signal peptide (mutant proenteropeptidase lacking the amino-terminal signal anchor domain (dSA-BEK)) caused apical secretion. The additional amino-terminal deletion of a mucin-like domain (HL-BEK) resulted in secretion both apically and basolaterally. Further deletion of the noncatalytic heavy chain (L-BEK) resulted in apical secretion. Thus enteropeptidase appears to have at least three distinct sorting signals as follows: the light chain (L-BEK) directs apical sorting, addition of most of the heavy chain (HL-BEK) inhibits apical sorting, and addition of the mucin-like domain (dSA-BEK) restores apical sorting. Inhibition of N-linked glycosylation with tunicamycin or disruption of microtubules with colchicine caused L-BEK to be secreted equally into apical and basolateral compartments, whereas brefeldin A caused basolateral secretion of L-BEK. Full-length BEK was not found in detergent-resistant raft domains of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells or baby hamster kidney cells. These results suggest apical sorting of enteropeptidase depends on N-linked glycosylation of the serine protease domain and an amino-terminal segment that includes an O-glycosylated mucin-like domain and three potential N-glycosylation sites. In contrast to many apically targeted proteins, enteropeptidase does not form detergent-resistant associations with sphingolipid-cholesterol rafts.

Abstract
This chapter discusses epithelial-membrane polarity, sorting pathways in polarized cells, and the sorting-signal paradigm. Polarized epithelial cells have long captured the attention of cell biologists and cell physiologists. At the electron-microscopic level, one of the most apparent and fundamental features of this cell type is its polarized organization of intracellular organelles and its structurally and compositionally distinct lumenal (apical) and serosal (basolateral) plasma-membrane domains. The polarized epithelial phenotype is an absolute necessity for organ-system function. In the most general sense, these cells organize to form a continuous, single layer of cells, or epithelium, which serves as a semi-permeable barrier between apposing and biologically distinct compartments. Within the tubules of the nephron, these cells orchestrate complex ion-transporting processes that ultimately control the overall fluid balance of the organism. At the surface of the gastrointestinal tract, specialized versions of this cell type control the digestion, absorption, and immuno-protection of the organism.

Abstract
G-protein-coupled receptors demonstrate differing trafficking itineraries in polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK II) cells. The alpha2A adrenergic receptor (alpha2AAR) is directly delivered to the basolateral subdomain; the A1 adenosine receptor (A1AdoR) is apically enriched in its targeting; and the alpha2BAR subtype is randomly delivered to both domains but selectively retained basolaterally (Keefer, J. R., and Limbird, L. E. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 11340-11347; Saunders, C., Keefer, J. R., Kennedy, A. P., Wells, J. N., and Limbird, L. E. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 995-1002; Wozniak, M., and Limbird, L. E. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 5017-5024). The present studies explore the role of the polarized cytoskeleton in localization of G-protein-coupled receptors in MDCK II cells. Nocodazole or colchicine, which disrupt microtubules, did not perturb lateral localization of alpha2AR subtypes but led to a relocalization the A1AdoR to the basolateral surface, revealed by immunocytochemical and metabolic labeling strategies. Conversely, the apical component of the random delivery of alpha2BAR was not affected by these agents, suggesting microtubule-dependent and -independent apical targeting mechanisms for G-protein-coupled receptors in polarized cells. Apparent rerouting of the apically targeted A1AdoR was selective for microtubule-disrupting agents, since cytochalasin D, which disrupts actin polymerization, did not alter A1AdoR or alpha2BAR localization or targeting. These data suggest that multiple apical targeting mechanisms exist for G-protein-coupled receptors and that microtubule-disrupting agents serve as tools to probe their different trafficking mechanisms.

Abstract
We have used the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) as a tool to explore mechanisms by which polarized epithelial cells address specific proteins to their apical domain. It recently has been proposed that N-glycans can serve as apical signals recognized by lectin-like sorting receptors in the trans-Golgi network. We found, however, conclusive evidence that the HBsAg follows an apical pathway not mediated by N-glycan signaling. Neither tunicamycin treatment nor replacement of its single glycosylated residue, Asn-146, altered its predominant (>85%) apical secretion from transfected Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK). Although HBsAg is known to be secreted as a lipoprotein particle, our results suggest that the exocytic machinery involved in its N-glycan-independent pathway overlaps, at least partially, with that of other apically targeted proteins, including the endogenous gp80, as judged by the effects of brefeldin A. We also tested whether its sorting behavior could be ascribed to association with glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, which, together with glycosphingolipids, primarily are targeted to the apical domain of MDCK cells. HBsAg was preferentially secreted from the apices of transfected Fisher rat thyroid cells, which, in contrast to MDCK cells, address GPI-proteins and glycosphingolipids to their basal domain. Moreover, complete inhibition of GPI biogenesis by mannosamine treatment did not impair the HBsAg apical secretion, discarding the possibility that HBsAg could be "hitchhiking" with a newly synthesized GPI-protein. Thus, the HBsAg provides a unique model system to search for yet-unknown apical sorting mechanisms that could depend on proteinaceous targeting signals interacting with cognate trans-Golgi network receptors that are at present unidentified.

Abstract
The thyrotropin (TSH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptors are present mainly on the basolateral cell surface in the thyroid gland and in Sertoli cells, whereas in ovarian and in testicular cells, the luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors are distributed throughout the cell surface. When expressed in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, all three receptors accumulated at the basolateral cell surface showing that they carry the corresponding targeting signals. The receptors were directly delivered to the basolateral surface of the MDCK cells. A minor fraction of the gonadotropin receptors but not of TSH receptors was secondarily targeted to the apical surface through transcytosis. The mechanisms of basolateral targeting and transcytosis were analyzed using the FSH receptor as a model. Both were insensitive to brefeldin A and pertussis toxin. Gs activation by AlF4- and cholera toxin provoked a marked enhancement of FSH receptor transcytosis. The population of Gs proteins involved in this mechanism was different from that involved in signal transduction since neither FSH nor forskolin mimicked the effects of AlF4- and cholera toxin. Gs activation provoked a similar effect on LH receptor distribution in MDCK cells, whereas it did not modify the compartmentalization of the TSH receptor. Hormone-specific transcytosis was observed in MDCK cells expressing the gonadotropin (FSH and LH) receptors and was increased after cholera toxin administration.

Abstract
Basolateral sorting of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) expressed in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells is mediated by a 17-residue sorting signal that resides in the cytoplasmic domain. We have recently analyzed the sequence requirements of the signal by alanine scanning mutagenesis. We found that basolateral sorting is mediated primarily by three amino acids: H656, R657 and V660. Individual mutations of each of these residues to Ala caused a substantial decrease in basolateral sorting and a corresponding increase in targeting to the apical surface. Structural analysis of 17-residue peptides corresponding to the signal revealed that V660 is in a beta-turn (probably type I) secondary structure, and its mutation to Ala destabilized the turn. H656 and R657 were not part of the turn and substitution of Arg657 to Ala had no effect on the turn stability. These results suggested that the signal is comprised of two structurally distinct domains: a critical V660 in the context of the beta-turn and an additional two residues (H656 and R657) that are not in the turn and probably are unimportant for its stability. Here we provide evidence suggesting that the two domains are distinguishable not only by their structure but also by their function. Basolateral targeting of pIgR mutants bearing Ala mutations at either 656 or 657 was not affected by treatment with brefeldin A (BFA), while basolateral targeting of pIgR containing an Ala substitution at position 660 was markedly and uniquely stimulated by BFA. Compared to single Ala substitutions, simultaneous mutations of H656 and R657 to Ala caused an additional minor effect on basolateral and apical sorting, whereas double mutations of V660 and either H656 or R657 resulted in a maximal decrease in basolateral targeting and corresponding increase in apical targeting. These results suggest the existence of two domains in the signal. When both domains are destroyed, basolateral targeting is maximally inhibited. The results also imply that V660 mediates basolateral sorting by a different mechanism from H656 and R657. We suggest that V660 and perhaps more generally the beta-turn may interact with BFA-sensitive adaptor complexes.

Abstract
We compared the trafficking of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) and two chimeric transmembrane proteins containing the PLAP ectodomain in stably transfected Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells to determine whether different mechanisms might be used in apical sorting of GPI-anchored and transmembrane proteins. PLAP-G, which contained the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein, was delivered directly to the basolateral surface. PLAP-HA contained the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of influenza hemagglutinin. Both PLAP and PLAP-HA were delivered directly to the apical membrane. PLAP becomes insoluble in Triton X-100 during biosynthetic transport, as it associates with detergent-resistant membranes. Neither hybrid protein was detergent insoluble, though the small amount of PLAP that was missorted to the basolateral surface was insoluble. We examined the effects of three drugs known to interfere with membrane trafficking on sorting and delivery of PLAP and the hybrid proteins. Monensin had no effect on sorting or surface expression of any of the proteins. Nocodazole affected the sorting of both PLAP and PLAP-HA but not of PLAP-G. Brefeldin A appeared to disrupt the sorting of PLAP and PLAP-HA but not of PLAP-G. This conclusion was tempered by the observation that this drug affected the distribution of proteins at the cell surface. Thus, sorting and transport of GPI-anchored and apical transmembrane proteins are similar in a number of respects.

Abstract
The fungal metabolite brefeldin A (BFA) causes the inhibition of protein secretion and the disruption of the structure and function of organelles along the exocytic and endocytic pathways including the Golgi complex. Such effects of BFA have been ascribed in large part to its ability to prevent recruitment of cytosolic coat proteins onto organelle membranes. Here we show that mammalian cell lines differ from one another with respect to sensitivity to this drug. The BFA sensitivity of a given cell line appears to be dependent on the species or the order from which the cell line originates, rather than on the cell line itself. In each cell line, the dose of BFA required for inhibition of cell growth and of protein secretion correlates with the dose required for inhibition of binding of beta-COP, a coat protein of COP-coated vesicles, but not that for inhibition of binding of gamma-adaptin, a component of HA-I/AP-1 adaptor of clathrin-coated vesicles. These observations suggest that: (i) there are at least two targets for BFA that differ from each other in sensitivity to this drug, (ii) the difference in the sensitivity to BFA of the beta-COP binding is determined by the difference in the structure of a target protein for this drug, and (iii) the cytotoxicity of BFA is ascribed mainly to its inhibitory effect on the membrane binding of COP-coat proteins.

Abstract
We have found that C6 ceramide, a cell-permeable ceramide analog, partially restored the brefeldin A (BFA) sensitivity in a BFA-resistant mutant of Vero cells (BER-40) and in the naturally BFA-resistant Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Incubation of BER-40 and MDCK cells with low concentrations of C6 ceramide resulted in (i) a pronounced increase in BFA cytotoxicity as measured by the inhibition of [3H]thymidine incorporation and the inhibition of colony formation by BFA, (ii) a significant protection by BFA against ricin cytotoxicity, and (iii) an inhibition of bulk protein secretion by BFA in BER-40 and MDCK cells. Related sphingolipids including sphingosine, sphingomyelin, and lactosylceramide and other unrelated lipid second messengers such as arachidonic acid and 1,2-diacylglycerol did not elicit the protection of BER-40 and MDCK cells against ricin cytotoxicity by BFA. C6 ceramide was the most effective among the ceramides with different acyl chain lengths. Interestingly, dihydro-C6 ceramide, which lacks the trans double bond in the sphingoid base, had no effect. On the other hand, C6 ceramide did not enhance BFA sensitivity in BFA-sensitive Vero cells. The LD50 of C6 ceramide were similar in Vero and BER-40 cells. Fluorescence microscopic studies revealed that C6 ceramide induced the redistribution of beta-COP from the Golgi membranes to a more dispersed localization in both BFA-sensitive and BFA-resistant cell lines, mimicking the effect of BFA. Suboptimal concentration of C6 ceramide also restored the effect of BFA on the beta-COP distribution in BER-40 and MDCK cells. These results indicate that C6 ceramide restores the BFA sensitivity in BFA-resistant BER-40 and MDCK cells.

Abstract
We have compared the intracellular localization of plasma membrane proteins anchored either with a transmembrane segment or with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol moiety to estimate the effects of membrane anchor on protein segregation in the non-polarized form of the human colon cancer cell line HT-29 18. We have monitored two endogenous proteins: the carcinoembryonic antigen, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol protein and the transmembrane protein dipeptidyl peptidase IV, and two transfected proteins: the glycosylphosphatidylinositol protein Thy-1 and an engineered transmembrane form of Thy-1. Using immunocytochemistry on ultra-thin cryosections and confocal microscopy, we detected a carcinoembryonic antigen-rich vesicular compartment, excluding classical pre-lysosomal and lysosomal markers such as mannose 6-phosphate receptor, lamp-1 and cathepsin D. This compartment, where carcinoembryonic antigen accumulated, excluded the transmembrane protein dipeptidyl peptidase IV and was reduced during the polarization of the cells. Moreover, the glycosylphosphatidylinositol form of Thy-1 also accumulated in the carcinoembryonic antigen-rich compartment whereas the transmembrane form of Thy-1 was excluded. We proposed that, in the non-polarized HT-29 18 cells, accumulation of glycosylphosphatidylinositol proteins independently of transmembrane proteins reveals different intracellular fates for proteins according to their anchor in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix protein fibronectin was found to be secreted by three polarized epithelial cell lines Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK), Caco-2 and LLC-PK1. About 54 and 46% of fibronectin was secreted from the apical and basolateral cell surfaces, respectively, in MDCK cells. In Caco-2 and LLC-PK1 cells, the majority (about 92-93%) of fibronectin secretion occurs from the basolateral cell surface, with the remaining 7-8% from the apical surface. In all three cell types, NH4Cl was found to inhibit basolateral secretion (resulting in enhanced apical secretion), while total fibronectin secretion was not significantly affected (although a delay in secretion was observed). Nocodazole reduced total fibronectin secretion to about 70% of control levels in MDCK and Caco-2 cells, with significant inhibition on secretion from both surfaces. In contrast, total fibronectin secretion was enhanced by nocodazole in LLC-PK1 cells. Furthermore, the majority of fibronectin secretion was redirected to the apical cell surface in LLC-PK1 cells. These observations demonstrate that the nature as well as the extent of the effects of NH4-Cl and nocodazole on polarized fibronectin secretion varies amongst different epithelial cell types.

Abstract
The formation of constitutive transport vesicles involves the association of non-clathrin coat proteins to transport organelles. Here we report that IgE receptors and protein kinase C (PKC) regulate the GTP-dependent binding of the two coat proteins ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and beta-COP to Golgi membranes in rat basophilic leukaemia cells. Activation of IgE receptors and PKC prevented the ARF and beta-COP dissociation from Golgi membranes that occurs in permeabilized cells in the absence of GTP and potentiated the association-promoting effects of GTP and the G protein activator fluoroaluminate. In contrast, PKC downregulation and PKC inhibition abolished the activity of GTP and fluoroaluminae in promoting ARF binding to the Golgi complex. Studies of ARF binding to isolated Golgi membranes gave similar results. These findings suggest that coat assembly on Golgi membranes, and thus possibly constitutive secretory traffic, is modulated by membrane receptors and second messengers.

Abstract
Proteins of the exocytotic (secretory) pathway are initially targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and then translocated across and/or inserted into the membrane of the ER. During their anterograde transport with the bulk of the membrane flow along the exocytotic pathway, some proteins are selectively retained in various intracellular compartments, while others are sorted to different branches of the pathway. The signals or structural motifs that are involved in these selective targeting processes are being revealed and investigations into the mechanistic nature of these processes are actively underway.

Abstract
Transport of cargo through and from the Golgi complex is mediated by vesicular carriers and transient tubular connections. Two classes of vesicle have been implicated in the biosynthetic or anterograde membrane traffic of this organelle. Both classes of vesicle are coated on the cytoplasmic surface with proteins, of which at least one component is related. Tubular connections also enable exchange of material between membrane-bounded compartments associated with the Golgi complex, most obviously in cells that have been treated with the drug, brefeldin A. Coat proteins appear to be involved in the regulation of these transport processes. Their putative functions include sorting of cargo, as well as regulation of budding, fusion or targeting of the membrane carriers.

Abstract
The discovery of basolateral sorting signals in the past year may leave the default pathway with nowhere to go. With new results suggesting that even more GTP-binding proteins and coatamers might be involved in transport and targeting, it is clear that the age of mapmaking in polarization research is nearly over.

Abstract
Brefeldin A (BFA) is a unique drug affecting the molecular mechanisms that regulate membrane traffic and organelle structure. BFA's ability to alter retrograde traffic from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) led us to ask whether the ERD-2 retrieval receptor, proposed to return escaped ER resident proteins from the Golgi, might either interfere with or mimic the effects of the drug. When either human ERD-2 or a novel human homolog (referred to as ELP-1) is overexpressed in a variety of cell types, the effects are phenotypically indistinguishable from the addition of BFA. These include the redistribution of the Golgi coat protein, beta-COP, to the cytosol, the loss of the Golgi apparatus as a distinct organelle, the mixing of this organelle with the ER, the addition of complex oligosaccharides to resident ER glycoproteins, and the block of anterograde traffic. Thus, these receptors may provide signals that regulate retrograde traffic between the Golgi and the ER.
