Abstract
Lysosomes play a central role in cellular homeostasis and alterations in this compartment associate with many diseases. The most studied example is that of lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), a group of 60 + maladies due to genetic mutations affecting lysosomal components, mostly enzymes. This leads to aberrant intracellular storage of macromolecules, altering normal cell function and causing multiorgan syndromes, often fatal within the first years of life. Several treatment modalities are available for a dozen LSDs, mostly consisting of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) strategies. Yet, poor biodistribution to main targets such as the central nervous system, musculoskeletal tissue, and others, as well as generation of blocking antibodies and adverse effects hinder effective LSD treatment. Drug delivery systems are being studied to surmount these obstacles, including polymeric constructs and nanoparticles that constitute the focus of this article. We provide an overview of the formulations being tested, the diseases they aim to treat, and the results observed from respective in vitro and in vivo studies. We also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these strategies, the remaining gaps of knowledge regarding their performance, and important items to consider for their clinical translation. Overall, polymeric nanoconstructs hold considerable promise to advance treatment for LSDs.

Abstract
Mutations in transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2) cause a rare form of the hereditary hemochromatosis, resulting in iron overload predominantly in the liver. TfR2 is primarily expressed in hepatocytes and is hypothesized to sense iron levels in the blood to positively regulate the expression of hepcidin through activation of the BMP signaling pathway. Hepcidin is a peptide hormone that negatively regulates iron egress from cells and thus limits intestinal iron uptake. In this study, a yeast two-hybrid approach using the cytoplasmic domain of TfR2 identified CD81 as an interacting protein. CD81 is an abundant tetraspanin in the liver. Co-precipitations of CD81 with different TfR2 constructs demonstrated that both the cytoplasmic and ecto-transmembrane domains of TfR2 interact with CD81. Knockdown of CD81 using siRNA significantly increased TfR2 levels by increasing the half-life of TfR2, indicating that CD81 promotes degradation of TfR2. Previous studies showed that CD81 is targeted for degradation by GRAIL, an ubiquitin E3 ligase. Knockdown of GRAIL in Hep3B-TfR2 cells increased TfR2 levels, consistent with inhibition of CD81 ubiquitination. These results suggest that down-regulation of CD81 by GRAIL targets TfR2 for degradation. Surprisingly, knockdown of CD81 decreased hepcidin expression, implying that the TfR2/CD81 complex is involved in the maintenance of hepcidin mRNA. Moreover, knockdown of CD81 did not affect the stimulation of hepcidin expression by BMP6 but increased both the expression of ID1 and SMAD7, direct targets of BMP signaling pathway, and the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, indicating that the CD81 regulates hepcidin expression differently from the BMP and ERK1/2 signaling pathways.

Abstract
In metazoans, lysosomes are characterized by a unique tubular morphology, acidic pH, and specific membrane protein (LAMP) and lipid (cholesterol) composition as well as a soluble protein (hydrolases) composition. Here we show that perturbation to the eye-color gene, light, results in impaired lysosomal acidification, sterol accumulation, altered endosomal morphology as well as compromised lysosomal degradation. We find that Drosophila homologue of Vps41, Light, regulates the fusion of a specific subset of biosynthetic carriers containing characteristic endolysosomal membrane proteins, LAMP1, V0-ATPase and the cholesterol transport protein, NPC1, with the endolysosomal system, and is then required for the morphological progression of the multivesicular endosome. Inhibition of Light results in accumulation of biosynthetic transport intermediates that contain these membrane cargoes, whereas under similar conditions, endosomal delivery of soluble hydrolases, previously shown to be mediated by Dor, the Drosophila homologue of Vps18, is not affected. Unlike Dor, Light is recruited to endosomes in a PI3P-sensitive fashion wherein it facilitates fusion of these biosynthetic cargoes with the endosomes. Depletion of the mammalian counterpart of Light, hVps41, in a human cell line also inhibits delivery of hLAMP to endosomes, suggesting an evolutionarily conserved pathway in metazoa.

Abstract
The ability of activated T cells to present foreign antigens through the MHC class II pathway has been shown in the case of human, rat and mouse T cells. In the present study, the ability of activated T cells to present their endogenous TCR in association with MHC class II molecules to CD4+ T cells was shown. Upon activation mouse T cells downregulate their surface TCR, which are degraded into peptides in endosomal/lysosomal compartments. The idiopeptides (peptides derived from the variable region of the TCR) are presented to cognate anti-idiotypic CD4+ T cells, resulting in activation and proliferation of these cells. Interaction of idiotypic and anti-idiotypic T cells brought about by presentation of TCR idiopeptide may have important implications for T-cell vaccination and perpetuation of T-cell memory not requiring persisting antigen or long-lived memory cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Investigate the distribution of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in pericoronal follicles as a predictor of progression to odontogenic cysts and tumors. STUDY DESIGN Immunohistochemical EGFR staining patterns (membrane-only, cytoplasm-only, or combined membrane and cytoplasmic staining) in the reduced enamel epithelium and nests of odontogenic epithelium associated with follicles of impacted molar teeth were evaluated. The staining pattern of 20 specimens of pericoronal follicle was compared with that of 16 normal oral mucosa samples and to squamous cell carcinoma samples. RESULTS Combined membrane and cytoplasmic staining was observed for normal oral mucosa mostly in proliferating layers (basal and suprabasal), decreasing in intensity toward the surface. Seven epithelial nests presented membrane-only staining, and the majority presented either a cytoplasm-only or a combined staining pattern. The staining patterns observed in reduced enamel epithelium were cytoplasm-only and combined. CONCLUSION EGFR membrane-only staining may be an indicator of increased potential for epithelial nests to become odontogenic cysts or tumors.

Abstract
The role of phospholipids in the regulation of membrane trafficking and signaling is largely unknown. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a main component of the plasma membrane. Mutants in the Drosophila phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase 1 (CCT1), the rate-limiting enzyme in PC biosynthesis, show an altered phospholipid composition with reduced PC and increased phosphatidylinositol (PI) levels. Phenotypic features of dCCT1 indicate that the enzyme is not required for cell survival, but serves a role in endocytic regulation. CCT1- cells show an increase in endocytosis and enlarged endosomal compartments, whereas lysosomal delivery is unchanged. As a consequence, an increase in endocytic localization of EGF receptor (Egfr) and Notch is observed, and this correlates with a reduction in signaling strength and leads to patterning defects. A further link between PC/PI content, endocytosis, and signaling is supported by genetic interactions of dCCT1 with Egfr, Notch, and genes affecting endosomal traffic.

Abstract
The induction of immunologic tolerance to solid organ allografts is a subject of intense investigation because of the morbidity and mortality associated with standard immunosuppressive therapy. One method that is currently in clinical and preclinical testing involves the transient ablation of recipient T cells using polyclonal antithymocyte sera or monoclonal anti-CD4/CD8 antibody treatment, followed by the posttransplant administration of donor bone marrow cells or of donor peripheral lymphoid populations. Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that the molecular and cellular basis of the prolongation of graft survival by donor cell administration depends on the cellular compartment from which the donor cells were derived. We provide here a brief review of these data followed by new data suggesting that the mode of peripheral and central selection is also dependent on the source from which the donor cells were derived.

Abstract
TCR down-modulation following binding to MHC/peptide complexes is considered to be instrumental for T cell activation because it allows serial triggering of receptors and the desensitization of stimulated cells. We studied CD3/TCR down-modulation and zeta degradation in T cells from two ZAP-70-immunodeficient patients. We show that, at high occupancy of the TCR, down-modulation of the CD3/TCR is comparable whether T cells express or do not express ZAP-70. However, if TCR occupancy was low, we found that CD3/TCR was down-regulated to a lesser extent in ZAP-70-negative than in ZAP-70-positive T cells. We studied CD3/TCR down-modulation in P116 (a ZAP-70-negative Jurkat cell-derived clone) and in P116 transfected with genes encoding the wild-type or a kinase-dead form of ZAP-70. Down-modulation of the TCR at high occupancy did not require ZAP-70, whereas at low TCR occupancy down-modulation was markedly reduced in the absence of ZAP-70 and in cells expressing a dead kinase mutant of ZAP-70. Thus, the presence of ZAP-70 alone is not sufficient for down-modulation; the kinase activity of this molecule is also required. The degradation of zeta induced by TCR triggering is also severely impaired in T cells from ZAP-70-deficient patients, P116 cells, and P116 cells expressing a kinase-dead form of ZAP-70. This defect in TCR-induced zeta degradation is observed at low and high levels of TCR occupancy. Our results identify ZAP-70, a tyrosine kinase known to be crucial for T cell activation, as a key player in TCR down-modulation and zeta degradation.

Abstract
The hereditary hemochromatosis protein HFE is known to complex with the transferrin receptor; however, its function regarding endocytosis of transferrin is unclear. We performed patch-clamp capacitance measurements in transfected HeLa cells carrying wild-type or C282Y-mutant HFE cDNA under the control of a tetracycline-sensitive promoter. Whole cell experiments in cells with suppressed expression of wild-type HFE revealed a decrease in membrane capacitance, reflecting predominance of endocytosis in the presence of transferrin. Cells overexpressing C282Y-mutant HFE displayed less intense capacitance decreases, whereas no significant decrease was observed in cells overexpressing wild-type HFE. The formation of single endocytic vesicles in cells with suppressed expression of wild-type HFE was greatly increased in the presence of transferrin as revealed by cell-attached recordings. According to their calculated diameters, many of these vesicles corresponded to clathrin-coated vesicles. These results suggest that wild-type HFE negatively modulates the endocytic uptake of transferrin. This inhibitory effect is attenuated in cells expressing C282Y-mutant HFE. Time-resolved measurements of cell membrane capacitance provide a powerful tool to study transferrin-induced endocytosis in single cells.

Abstract
Melanocortin receptors (MC-Rs) are G-protein coupled receptors that mediate pleiotropic actions of melanocyte-stimulating hormones and adrenocorticotropin. There is increasing evidence that one of the five so far identified melanocortin receptors, i.e. melanocortin-1 receptor (MC-1R), has a more ubiquitous distribution in the skin than originally expected. In the present study, the expression of MC-1R in normal skin glands and hair follicles, various malformations and neoplasms with adnexal differentiation is described. Using an anti-MC-1R antibody directed against the amino acids 2-18 of the human MC-1R, specimens of normal healthy skin (n = 10) as well as hamartomas, cysts, hyperplasias, and benign or malignant neoplasms with eccrine, apocrine, sebaceous gland, and hair follicle differentiation (n = 98) were immunostained. MC-1R expression was widely preserved in various adnexal malformations and neoplasms as compared with normal skin and did not show major differences with regard to maturation of the neoplasms. The majority of adnexal epithelia showed an intracytoplasmically granular staining and, to a lesser extent, an intercellular staining pattern. Immunoelectron microscopical investigations revealed expression of MC-1R both along the cell surface and intracytoplasmically within tubular endosomes, the latter suggesting internalisation of the receptor. In conclusion, preserved MC-1R expression in adnexal epithelia suggests a functional role of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) in various malformations and neoplasms of the skin.

Abstract
Signaling through tyrosine kinase receptors (TKRs) is thought to be modulated by receptor-mediated endocytosis and degradation of the receptor in the lysosome. However, factors that regulate endosomal sorting of TKRs are largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that Hrs (Hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate) is one such factor. Electron microscopy studies of hrs mutant larvae reveal an impairment in endosome membrane invagination and formation of multivesicular bodies (MVBs). hrs mutant animals fail to degrade active epidermal growth factor (EGF) and Torso TKRs, leading to enhanced signaling and altered embryonic patterning. These data suggest that Hrs and MVB formation function to downregulate TKR signaling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine how hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) affects cell-cell adhesion junctions on scattering in prostate cancer cells. HGF is known to induce scattering (dispersion of clustered cells into single cells) in various epithelial cells, including prostate cancer cells, but the mechanisms surrounding this action are not fully understood. Cell-cell adhesion junctions are composed of E-cadherin and its associated intracellular catenins and play important roles in the maintenance of cell integrity. METHODS The human prostate cancer cell line DU145 was used in this study. The associations and changes of various adhesion molecules with HGF treatment were investigated by inhibition assays, Western blot analysis, and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS In the inhibition assay, anti-E-cadherin neutralizing monoclonal antibody caused the dissociation of DU145 cells similar to the scattering with HGF treatment. The expression of E-cadherin decreased with HGF, and the expression of alpha-catenin and beta-catenin did not change by Western blot analysis. In immunofluorescence staining, HGF caused the translocation of E-cadherin from cell-cell adhesion junctions to the cytoplasm. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that HGF induces scattering by decreasing the expression of E-cadherin and causes its translocation to the cytoplasm of DU145 cells.

Abstract
In order to clarify the physiological relevance of the interaction between Shc and adaptins, components of plasma membrane-coated pit adaptor complex AP2, we investigated the role of Shc in ligand-induced endocytosis of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors. In vitro peptide binding assay showed that alpha-adaptin bound to the wild-type peptide corresponding to amino acids 346-355 of Shc, RDLFDMKPFE, but not to the mutant peptide in which both phenylalanines at 349 and 354 were substituted for alanines (FA). Using adenovirus vectors carrying a herpes simplex virus epitope-tagged 52-kDa wild-type Shc and Shc FA, we examined the interaction between Shc, AP2, and EGF receptors in intact cells. Alpha-adaptin bound to wild-type Shc in an EGF-dependent manner, whereas EGF-dependent association of alpha-adaptin with Shc FA was markedly reduced. In addition, EGF increased the amount of alpha-adaptin coprecipitated with EGF receptors in cells expressing wild-type Shc but not Shc FA. These results suggest that EGF stimulates Shc-AP2 complex formation and association of Shc-AP2 complexes with EGF receptors. Internalization assay showed that (125)I-EGF internalization was reduced in cells overexpressing Shc FA. Immunofluorescence study showed that punctate staining along the plasma membrane border as well as punctate pattern characteristic of cytoplasmic vesicles near the plasma membrane was enhanced in cells expressing wild-type Shc. These results suggest, therefore, the implication of Shc in ligand-induced endocytosis of EGF receptors in intact cells.

Abstract
The rapid internalization of receptor tyrosine kinases after ligand binding has been assumed to be a negative modulation of signal transduction. However, accumulating data indicate that signal transduction from internalized cell surface receptors also occurs from endosomes. We show that a substantial fraction of tyrosine-phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and Shc, Grb2 and Cbl after internalization relocates from early endosomes to compartments which are negative for the early endosomes, recycling vesicle markers EEA1 and transferrin in EGF-stimulated cells. These compartments contained the multivesicular body and late endosome marker CD63, and the late endosome and lysosome marker LAMP-1, and showed a multivesicular morphology. Subcellular fractionation revealed that activated EGFR, adaptor proteins and activated ERK 1 and 2 were located in EEA1-negative and LAMP-1-positive fractions. Co-immunoprecipitations showed EGFR in complex with both Shc, Grb2 and Cbl. Treatment with the weak base chloroquine or inhibitors of lysosomal enzymes after EGF stimulation induced an accumulation of tyrosine-phosphorylated EGFR and Shc in EEA1-negative and CD63-positive vesicles after a 120-min chase period. This was accompanied by a sustained activation of ERK 1 and 2. These results suggest that EGFR signaling is not spatially restricted to the plasma membrane, primary vesicles and early endosomes, but is continuing from late endocytic trafficking organelles maturing from early endosomes.

Abstract
Dileucine-based motifs have been shown to regulate endosomal sorting of a number of membrane proteins. Previously, we have shown that the dileucine motif Leu(679), Leu(680) in the juxtamembrane domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor is involved in the endosome-to-lysosome transport of ligand-receptor complexes. Substitution of alanine residues for Leu(679), Leu(680) led to a reduction in ligand-induced receptor degradation without affecting internalization. In the current study, we have further characterized ligand-dependent intracellular sorting of EGF receptors containing a L679A, L680A. Immunocytochemical studies reveal that although mutant receptors redistribute from the cell surface to transferrin receptor-positive endocytic vesicles similar to wild-type following ligand stimulation, their accumulation in Lamp-1-positive late endosomes/lysosomes is retarded compared to wild-type. Kinetic analysis of (125)I-EGF trafficking shows that reduced accumulation of internalized mutant receptors in Lamp-1-positive vesicles is due to rapid recycling of ligand-receptor complexes from early endocytic compartments. In addition, the fraction of intracellular (125)I-EGF that is transported to late endocytic compartments in cells with mutant receptors is not as efficiently degraded as it is in cells with wild-type receptors. Furthermore, wild-type receptors in endocytic vesicles isolated by Percoll gradient fractionation are more resistant to in vitro digestion with proteinase K than mutant receptors. We propose that mutant receptors interact inefficiently with lysosomal sorting machinery, leading to their increased recycling. Our results are consistent with a model in which the Leu(679), Leu(680) signal facilitates sequestration of ligand-receptor complexes into internal vesicles of multivesicular endosome-to-lysosome transport intermediates.

Abstract
Membrane receptors are internalized either constitutively or upon ligand engagement. Whereas there is evidence for differential regulation of the two processes, little is known about the molecular machinery involved. Previous studies have shown that an unidentified kinase substrate is required for endocytosis of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), the prototypical ligand-inducible receptor, but not of the transferrin receptor (TfR), the prototypical constitutively internalized receptor. Eps15, an endocytic protein that is tyrosine phosphorylated by EGFR, is a candidate for such a function. Here, we show that tyrosine phosphorylation of Eps15 is necessary for internalization of the EGFR, but not of the TfR. We mapped Tyr 850 as the major in vivo tyrosine phosphorylation site of Eps15. A phosphorylation-negative mutant of Eps15 acted as a dominant negative on the internalization of the EGFR, but not of the TfR. A phosphopeptide, corresponding to the phosphorylated sequence of Eps15, inhibited EGFR endocytosis, suggesting that phosphotyrosine in Eps15 serves as a docking site for a phosphotyrosine binding protein. Thus, tyrosine phosphorylation of Eps15 represents the first molecular determinant, other than those contained in the receptors themselves, which is involved in the differential regulation of constitutive vs. regulated endocytosis.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) activation involved in signal transduction may lead to the hydrolysis of conspicuous amounts of phosphatidylcholine (PC). This study shows that PLD activation significantly alters the plasma membrane (PM) environment and the membrane exchange dynamics. PC-PLD activation in vasopressin (AVP)-stimulated L6 myogenic cells was accompanied by increased exocytosis and decreased membrane fluidity, as shown by transmission EM and fluorescence spectroscopy of trimethylammonium-diphenyl-hexatriene. AVP-induced exocytosis appeared to be brefeldin A-insensitive. PLD inhibition by Zn(2+) and PC de novo synthesis inhibition by hexadecylphosphocholine abolished AVP-induced vesicle traffic. Upon AVP stimulation, metabolically labeled PC decreased in PM, then transiently increased in microsomes, and returned to the prestimulus level in the PM within 5 min, a phenomenon requiring PC neosynthesis and microtubule functionality. Vesicle traffic with similar features was also observed after endothelin-1-induced PC-PLD activation in rat peritubular myoid cells. These results indicate that, in nonsecretory cells, exocytosis coupled to PC de novo synthesis restores PM-PC, conspicuously consumed during PLD-mediated signal transduction.

Abstract
Downregulation of the TCR complex is believed to be intimately tied to T cell activation, allowing serial triggering of receptors and desensitization of stimulated cells. We studied transfected and transgenic T cells expressing CD3zeta chimeras to demonstrate that ligand engagement of the TCR or chimeras causes comodulation of nonengaged receptors. Comodulation required protein tyrosine kinase activity but not trans-phosphorylation of nonengaged receptors. The TCR appears to be downregulated by at least two mechanisms. One mechanism requires direct engagement, independent of signaling. The second requires signaling and downregulates nontriggered receptors. These results shed new light on the process of TCR downregulation and indicate that the number of downregulated TCRs cannot be assumed to equal the number of engaged receptors.

Abstract
In the absence of ligand, the T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 complex is continuously internalized and recycled to the cell surface, whereas receptor engagement results in its down-regulation. The present study shows that the TCR and CD3 components follow different fates accompanying their constitutive internalization. Although the CD3 moiety is recycled to the cell surface, the TCR heterodimer is degraded and replaced by newly synthesized chains. Since the TCR heterodimer cannot reach the cell membrane on its own, we propose a model in which recycling CD3 is transported along a retrograde pathway to the endoplasmic reticulum, where it associates with newly made TCR. Interestingly, engagement of the TCR.CD3 complex by superantigen resulted not only in the down-regulation of the TCR and CD3 components but also caused a transient stabilization of the TCR heterodimer. This suggests that TCR engagement diverts the TCR heterodimer from a degradation to a recycling pathway. Contrary to CD3, the intracellular fate of the TCR heterodimer is thus regulated, providing a mechanism for rapidly replacing nonfunctional TCR during intrathymic development of T cells.

Abstract
Both E-cadherin, a cell-cell adhesion molecule, and c-Met, the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor (SF) receptor, were colocalized at cell-cell adhesion sites of MDCK cells. HGF/SF or a phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), induced disruption of cell-cell adhesion, which was accompanied by endocytosis of both E-cadherin and c-Met. Reduction of medium Ca2+ to a micromolar range showed the same effects. Re-increase in medium Ca2+ to a millimolar range formed cell-cell adhesion, which was accompanied by exocytosis of E-cadherin and c-Met, followed by their re-colocalization at the cell-cell adhesion sites. These results suggest that E-cadherin and c-Met are colocalized at cell-cell adhesion sites and undergo co-endo-exocytosis. We have previously shown that TPA does not induce disruption of cell-cell adhesion and subsequent scattering of MDCK cells stably expressing a dominant active mutant of RhoA or Rac1 small G protein or a dominant negative mutant of Rab5 small G protein. In these cell lines, the HGF- or TPA-induced coendocytosis of E-cadherin and c-Met was inhibited, but the coendocytosis of E-cadherin and c-Met in response to reduction of medium Ca2+ was not affected. Wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase, inhibited the HGF-induced disruption of cell-cell junction and endocytosis of E-cadherin and c-Met, but not the TPA-induced ones. These results suggest that disruption of cell-cell adhesion is involved in the HGF- or TPA-induced coendocytosis of E-cadherin and c-Met in MDCK cells, and that the Rho and Rab family members indirectly regulate this coendocytosis. In addition, coendocytosis of E-cadherin and c-Met in response to HGF is partly mediated by PI 3-kinase. The cross-talk between cell-cell and cell-matrix adherens junctions is discussed.

Abstract
The downregulation of tyrosine kinase receptors attenuates signalling and is thought to be dependent upon intrinsic receptor kinase activity, largely because down-regulation is inhibited by a kinase-inactivating mutation of an invariant lysine residue of the receptors for EGF, insulin, M-CSF and PDGF. We confirmed that this mutation inhibited the degradation of the M-CSF receptor. However, two different kinase inactivating mutations of the invariant amino acids Gly 591 and Glu 633 did not prevent M-CSF-induced receptor degradation, so demonstrating that receptor kinase activity is not essential for this process. Three other kinase-inactivating mutations were found to cause constitutive receptor degradation in the absence of M-CSF, most probably by disrupting the structure of the activating loop of the kinase domain. It is known that extensive movement of the A-loop is necessary for kinase activation and is normally induced by ligand-binding. It is therefore suggested that some aspect or consequence of the change in structure of the A-loop caused by ligand binding also activates receptor downregulation, so ensuring that downregulation is coupled to but is not necessarily dependent upon receptor kinase activity.

Abstract
Huntingtin is a cytoplasmic protein of unknown function that associates with vesicle membranes and microtubules. Its protein interactions suggest that huntingtin has a role in endocytosis and organelle transport. In this study we sought to identify factors that regulate the transport of huntingtin in striatal neurons, which are the cells most affected in Huntington's disease. In clonal striatal cells derived from fusions of neuroblastoma and embryonic striatal neurons, huntingtin localization is diffuse and slightly punctate in the cytoplasm. When these neurons were differentiated by treatment with forskolin, huntingtin redistributed to perinuclear regions, discrete puncta along plasma membranes, and branch points and terminal growth cones in neurites. Huntingtin staining overlapped with clathrin, a coat protein involved in endocytosis. Immunoblot analysis of subcellular membrane fractions separated by differential centrifugation confirmed that huntingtin immunoreactivity in differentiated neurons markedly increased in membrane fractions enriched with clathrin and with huntingtin-interacting protein 1. Dopamine treatment altered the subcellular localization of huntingtin and increased its expression in clathrin-enriched membrane fractions. The dopamine-induced changes were blocked by the D1 antagonist SCH 23390 and were absent in a clonal cell line lacking D1 receptors. Results suggest that the transport of huntingtin and its co-expression in clathrin and huntingtin-interacting protein 1-enriched membranes is influenced by activation of adenylyl cyclase and stimulation of dopamine D1 receptors.

Abstract
Transcytosis of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) is stimulated by binding of its ligand, dimeric IgA (dIgA). During this process, dIgA binding at the basolateral surface of the epithelial cell transmits a signal to the apical region of the cell, which in turn stimulates the transport of dIgA-pIgR complex from a postmicrotubule compartment to the apical surface. We have previously reported that the signal of stimulation was controlled by a protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) activated upon dIgA binding. We now show that this signal of stimulation moves across the cell independently of pIgR movement or microtubules and acts through the tyrosine kinase activity by releasing Ca++ from inositol trisphosphate-sensitive intracellular stores. Surprisingly we have found that a second independent signal is required to achieve dIgA-stimulated transcytosis of pIgR. This second signal depends on dIgA binding to the pIgR solely at the basolateral surface and the ability of pIgR to dimerize. This enables pIgR molecules that have bound dIgA at the basolateral surface to respond to the signal of stimulation once they reach the postmicrotubule compartment. We propose that the use of two signals may be a general mechanism by which signaling receptors maintain specificity along their signaling and trafficking pathways.

Abstract
Cellular membranes play an important role in the formation and maintenance of epithelial polarity, which is lost early during carcinogenesis. We set out to identify membrane proteins which are altered during loss of cell polarity in mammary epithelium. As a model system we used murine mammary epithelial cells expressing the conditional oncoprotein c-JunER, which induces a reversible loss of polarity upon beta-estradiol-driven activation [1]. When grown either in the absence or presence of hormone, these cells exhibit a polarized or unpolarized phenotype, respectively. Different membrane fractions of polarized or unpolarized cells were analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and differentially expressed membrane proteins were identified. To distinguish between transmembrane orientation and peripheral attachment of these proteins, were performed extractions with carbonate at high pH or with Triton X-114. In addition, cytosolic proteins of both states were analyzed to investigate their differential association with distinct membrane fractions. We found ten protein spots preferentially or exclusively in polarized cells and 17 other proteins as being upregulated during loss of polarity. Some of the peripheral membrane proteins were identified by microsequencing. The resident Golgi protein nucleobindin and fructose-bisphosphate aldolase were preferentially associated with membranes of polarized cells, whereas alphaB crystallin was detected exclusively and in high amounts in unpolarized cells.

Abstract
Ligand binding causes the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor to undergo accelerated internalization with eventual degradation in lysosomes. The goal of this study was to investigate the molecular basis of endocytic sorting, focussing on post-internalization events. We have identified a sequence located between amino acid residues 675 and 697, encompassing a dileucine motif at residues 679 and 680, that enhances endosome-to-lysosome transport when conformational restraints in the EGF receptor carboxyl terminus are removed by truncation. The same dileucine motif is also necessary for efficient lysosomal transport of ligand-occupied full-length EGF receptors. A L679A,L680A substitution diminished the degradation of occupied full-length EGF receptors without affecting internalization but had a significant effect on recycling. Rapid recycling of mutant receptors resulted in reduced intracellular retention of occupied EGF receptors and delayed down-regulation of cell surface receptors. We propose that the L679A,L680A substitution acts primarily to impair transport of ligand-receptor complexes through an early endosomal compartment, diverting occupied receptors to a recycling compartment at the expense of incorporation into lysosome transport vesicles. We also found that mutant receptors with truncations at the distal half of tyrosine kinase domain (residues 809-957) were not efficiently delivered to the cell surface but were destroyed in an endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradative pathway.

Abstract
D1 and D2 dopamine receptors are structurally homologous G protein-coupled receptors that serve distinct physiological functions both in neurons and nonneural cell types. We have observed that these receptors are selectively endocytosed in HEK293 cells by distinct dynamin-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Although these endocytic mechanisms operate with similarly rapid kinetics, they differ in their regulation by agonist and deliver D1 and D2 receptors specifically to different primary endocytic vesicles. After this segregation into different endocytic membranes, both D1 and D2 receptors recycle to the plasma membrane. Similar results are observed in Neuro2A neuroblastoma cells coexpressing both receptors at high levels. These findings establish that "classical" dynamin-dependent and "alternative" dynamin-independent endocytic mechanisms differ in their physiological regulation, sort structurally homologous signaling receptors in the plasma membrane, and mediate distinct early endocytic pathways leading to recycling endosomes. Our results also refute the previous hypothesis that dynamin-independent endocytosis targets G protein-coupled receptors selectively to lysosomes, and they suggest a new role of endocytic sorting mechanisms in physically segregating structurally homologous signaling receptors at the cell surface.

Abstract
In this study we identify the molecules involved in the MAPK signal transduction pathway (Ras, Raf-1, Mek, Mek-P and MAPK) in highly purified endosomal fractions isolated from rat liver. Biochemical analysis shows that only the early-sorting endocytic compartment contains activated Raf-1 and Mek. Finally, the exogenous administration of EGF led to redistribution of Raf-1 from the caveolin-enriched plasma membrane into the endosomes.

Abstract
Sorting nexin 1 (SNX1) is a protein that binds to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and is proposed to play a role in directing EGF receptors to lysosomes for degradation (R. C. Kurten, D. L. Cadena, and G. N. Gill, Science 272:1008-1010, 1996). We have obtained full-length cDNAs and deduced the amino acid sequences of three novel homologous proteins, which were denoted human sorting nexins (SNX2, SNX3, and SNX4). In addition, we identified a presumed splice variant isoform of SNX1 (SNX1A). These molecules contain a conserved domain of approximately 100 amino acids, which was termed the phox homology (PX) domain. Human SNX1 (522 amino acids), SNX1A (457 amino acids), SNX2 (519 amino acids), SNX3 (162 amino acids), and SNX4 (450 amino acids) are part of a larger family of hydrophilic molecules including proteins identified in Caenorhabditis elegans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Despite their hydrophilic nature, the sorting nexins are found partially associated with cellular membranes. They are widely expressed, although the tissue distribution of each sorting nexin mRNA varies. When expressed in COS7 cells, epitope-tagged sorting nexins SNX1, SNX1A, SNX2, and SNX4 coimmunoprecipitated with receptor tyrosine kinases for EGF, platelet-derived growth factor, and insulin. These sorting nexins also associated with the long isoform of the leptin receptor but not with the short and medium isoforms. Interestingly, endogenous COS7 transferrin receptors associated exclusively with SNX1 and SNX1A, while SNX3 was not found to associate with any of the receptors studied. Our demonstration of a large conserved family of sorting nexins that interact with a variety of receptor types suggests that these proteins may be involved in several stages of intracellular trafficking in mammalian cells.

Abstract
The regulated sorting of proteins within the trans-Golgi network (TGN)/endosomal system is a key determinant of their biological activity in vivo. For example, the endoprotease furin activates of a wide range of proproteins in multiple compartments within the TGN/endosomal system. Phosphorylation of its cytosolic domain by casein kinase II (CKII) promotes the localization of furin to the TGN and early endosomes whereas dephosphorylation is required for efficient transport between these compartments (Jones, B.G., L. Thomas, S.S. Molloy, C.D. Thulin, M.D. Fry, K.A. Walsh, and G. Thomas. 1995. EMBO [Eur. Mol. Biol. Organ.] J. 14:5869-5883). Here we show that phosphorylated furin molecules internalized from the cell surface are retained in a local cycling loop between early endosomes and the plasma membrane. This cycling loop requires the phosphorylation state-dependent furin-sorting protein PACS-1, and mirrors the trafficking pathway described recently for the TGN localization of furin (Wan, L., S.S. Molloy, L. Thomas, G. Liu, Y. Xiang, S.L. Ryback, and G. Thomas. 1998. Cell. 94:205-216). We also demonstrate a novel role for protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in regulating protein localization in the TGN/endosomal system. Using baculovirus recombinants expressing individual PP2A subunits, we show that the dephosphorylation of furin in vitro requires heterotrimeric phosphatase containing B family regulatory subunits. The importance of this PP2A isoform in directing the routing of furin from early endosomes to the TGN was established using SV-40 small t antigen as a diagnostic tool in vivo. The role of both CKII and PP2A in controlling multiple sorting steps in the TGN/endosomal system indicates that the distribution of itinerant membrane proteins may be acutely regulated via signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
Inherited mutations in the ATM gene lead to a complex clinical phenotype characterized by neuronal degeneration, oculocutaneous telangiectasias, immune dysfunction, and cancer predisposition. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we demonstrate that ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) binds to beta-adaptin, one of the components of the AP-2 adaptor complex, which is involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis of receptors. The interaction between ATM and beta-adaptin was confirmed in vitro, and coimmunoprecipitation and colocalization studies show that the proteins also associate in vivo. ATM also interacts in vitro with beta-NAP, a neuronal-specific beta-adaptin homolog that was identified as an autoantigen in a patient with cerebellar degeneration. Our data describing the association of ATM with beta-adaptin in vesicles indicate that ATM may play a role in intracellular vesicle and/or protein transport mechanisms.

Abstract
We describe the cloning and characterization of a new cytoplasmic protein designated epidermal growth factor receptor-associated protein with SH3- and TAM domains (EAST). It contains an Src homology 3 domain in its midregion and a tyrosine-based activation motif in its COOH terminus. Antibodies to EAST recognize a 68-kDa protein that is present in most chicken tissues. An epidermal growth factor (EGF)-dependent association between the EGF receptor (EGFR) and EAST was shown by reciprocal immunoprecipitation/immunoblotting studies with specific antibodies. Activated EGFR catalyzed the tyrosine phosphorylation of EAST, as judged by an in vitro kinase assay with both immunoprecipitated and purified EGFR. Immunoprecipitation/immunoblotting experiments also demonstrated an association between EAST and eps15, an EGFR substrate associated with clathrin-coated pits and vesicles, which is essential in the endocytotic pathway. The association between EAST and eps15 was not affected by EGF treatment. In immunofluorescence microscopy, EAST was shown to partially colocalize with clathrin. The sequence of the NH2-terminal portion of EAST shows a high degree of similarity with a group of proteins involved in endocytosis or vesicle trafficking. Thus, EAST is a novel signal transduction component probably involved in EGF signaling and in the endocytotic machinery.

Abstract
The Cbl protooncogene product has emerged as a negative regulator of receptor and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases. We recently demonstrated that oncogenic Cbl mutants upregulate the endogenous tyrosine kinase signaling machinery when expressed in the NIH 3T3 cells, and identified the platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRalpha) as one of the tyrosine kinases targeted by these oncogenes. These findings suggested a role for the normal Cbl protein in negative regulation of the PDGFRalpha. However, the mechanism of such negative regulation remained to be determined. Here we show that overexpression of the wild-type Cbl enhances the ligand-induced ubiquitination of the PDGFRalpha. Concomitantly, the PDGFRalpha in Cbl-overexpressing cells undergoes a faster ligand-induced degradation compared with that in the control cells. These results identify a role for Cbl in the regulation of ligand-induced ubiquitination and degradation of receptor tyrosine kinases and suggest one potential mechanism for evolutionarily conserved negative regulatory influence of Cbl on tyrosine kinases.

Abstract
Secretory carrier membrane proteins (SCAMPs) are ubiquitously expressed proteins of post-Golgi vesicles. In the presence of the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor vanadate, or after overexpression in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, SCAMP1 and SCAMP3 are phosphorylated selectively on tyrosine residue(s). Phosphorylation is reversible after vanadate washout in situ or when isolated SCAMP3 is incubated with the recombinant tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B. Vanadate also causes the partial accumulation of SCAMP3, but not SCAMP1, in "patches" at or near the cell surface. A search for SCAMP kinase activities has shown that SCAMPs 1 and 3, but not SCAMP2, are tyrosine phosphorylated in EGF-stimulated murine fibroblasts overexpressing the EGF receptor (EGFR). EGF catalyzes the progressive phosphorylation of the SCAMPs up to 1 h poststimulation and may enhance colocalization of the EGFR and SCAMP3 within the cell interior. EGF also induces SCAMP-EGFR association, as detected by coimmunoprecipitation, and phosphorylation of SCAMP3 is stimulated by the EGFR in vitro. These results suggest that phosphorylation of SCAMPs, either directly or indirectly, may be functionally linked to the internalization/down-regulation of the EGFR.

Abstract
In previous work, we showed that peptides from endocytosed proteins containing the tyrosine YXXphi sorting motif are recognized by the mu 2 subunit of AP-2, the plasma membrane clathrin adaptor protein complex. This interaction is activated by phosphoinositide lipids that are phosphorylated at the D-3 position of the inositol ring, and is also enhanced by the formation of clathrin-AP-2 coats. Here, we describe the detection of a specific interaction between peptides containing a second sorting motif, the dileucine motif, and AP-1, the clathrin adaptor complex responsible for sorting proteins at the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Surprisingly, the site of dileucine binding is the beta1 subunit, not mu 1. A YXXphi-containing peptide from a protein trafficked within the TGN does bind to mu 1, however. Phosphatidylinositol 3,4-diphosphate and 3,4, 5-triphosphate did not activate the interaction between dileucine-containing peptides and AP-1 but instead inhibited it, and clathrin-AP-1 coat formation did not alter the interaction. Thus, there are at least two physically separate binding sites for sorting signals on APs, which are also regulated independently.

Abstract
Synaptojanin 1 is an inositol 5-phosphatase with a putative role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Goal of this study was to provide new evidence for this hypothesis. We show that synaptojanin 1 is concentrated at clathrin-coated endocytic intermediates in nerve terminals. Furthermore, we report that synaptojanin-170, an alternatively spliced isoform of synaptojanin 1, binds Eps15, a clathrin coat-associated protein. Binding is mediated by the COOH-terminal region of synaptojanin-170 which we show here to be poorly conserved from rat to humans, but to contain in both species three asparagine-proline-phenylalanine (NPF) repeats. This motif has been found to be the core of the binding site for the EH domains of Eps15. Together with previous data, our results suggest that synaptojanin 1 can be recruited to clathrin-coated pits via a multiplicity of interactions.

Abstract
In polarized MDCK cells, proteins and lipids are sorted in the trans-Golgi network /TGN) and packaged into different vesicular carriers that are delivered to the apical or basolateral cell surface. To gain insight into the sorting and trafficking machinery, we have previously isolated TGN-derived carrier vesicles from perforated MDCK cells. The composition of immuno-isolated apical and basolateral carriers was mapped by two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. Here we describe the identification of several components of the vesicle fraction by using three different methods. 2-D gel comigration was performed with carrier vesicles isolated from metabolically labeled MDCK cells and human epidermal keratinocyte lysates. This allowed us to assign eleven known components by a comparison with the comprehensive keratinocyte 2-D gel database. These comprised two members of the 14-3-3 family of proteins that have been implicated in vesicular trafficking. Five proteins were purified from preparative 2-D gels and identified by peptide microsequencing, including the beta1 and beta2 subunit of trimeric G proteins and an annexin II variant. A member of the SNARE family of proteins was identified by immunoblotting. The combination of 2-D gel electrophoresis and 2-D gel databases allows the rapid assessment of the purity of subcellular fractions and to characterize components involved in vesicular transport.

Abstract
This report compares trafficking routes of a plasma membrane protein that was misfolded either during its synthesis or after it had reached the cell surface. A temperature-sensitive mutant form of the yeast alpha-factor pheromone receptor (ste2-3) was found to provide a model substrate for quality control of plasma membrane proteins. We show for the first time that a misfolded membrane protein is recognized at the cell surface and rapidly removed. When the ste2-3 mutant cells were cultured continuously at 34 degrees C, the mutant receptor protein (Ste2-3p) failed to accumulate at the plasma membrane and was degraded with a half-life of 4 min, compared with a half-life of 33 min for wild-type receptor protein (Ste2p). Degradation of both Ste2-3p and Ste2p required the vacuolar proteolytic activities controlled by the PEP4 gene. At 34 degrees C, Ste2-3p comigrated with glycosylated Ste2p on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicating that Ste2-3p enters the secretory pathway. Degradation of Ste2-3p did not require delivery to the plasma membrane as the sec1 mutation failed to block rapid turnover. Truncation of the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the mutant receptors did not permit accumulation at the plasma membrane; thus, the endocytic signals contained in this domain are unnecessary for intracellular retention. In the pep4 mutant, Ste2-3p accumulated as series of high-molecular-weight species, suggesting a potential role for ubiquitin in the elimination process. When ste2-3 mutant cells were cultured continuously at 22 degrees C, Ste2-3p accumulated in the plasma membrane. When the 22 degrees C culture was shifted to 34 degrees C, Ste2-3p was removed from the plasma membrane and degraded by a PEP4-dependent mechanism with a 24-min half-life; the wild-type Ste2p displayed a 72-min half-life. Thus, structural defects in Ste2-3p synthesized at 34 degrees C are recognized in transit to the plasma membrane, leading to rapid degradation, and Ste2-3p that is preassembled at the plasma membrane is also removed and degraded following a shift to 34 degrees C.

Abstract
Protein transport to the lysosome-like vacuole in yeast is mediated by multiple pathways, including the biosynthetic routes for vacuolar hydrolases, the endocytic pathway, and autophagy. Among the more than 40 genes required for vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mutations in the four class C VPS genes result in the most severe vacuolar protein sorting and morphology defects. Herein, we provide complementary genetic and biochemical evidence that the class C VPS gene products (Vps18p, Vps11p, Vps16p, and Vps33p) physically and functionally interact to mediate a late step in protein transport to the vacuole. Chemical cross-linking experiments demonstrated that Vps11p and Vps18p, which both contain RING finger zinc-binding domains, are components of a hetero-oligomeric protein complex that includes Vps16p and the Sec1p homologue Vps33p. The class C Vps protein complex colocalized with vacuolar membranes and a distinct dense membrane fraction. Analysis of cells harboring a temperature-conditional vps18 allele (vps18tsf) indicated that Vps18p function is required for the biosynthetic, endocytic, and autophagic protein transport pathways to the vacuole. In addition, vps18tsf cells accumulated multivesicular bodies, autophagosomes, and other membrane compartments that appear to represent blocked transport intermediates. Overproduction of either Vps16p or the vacuolar syntaxin homologue Vam3p suppressed defects associated with vps18tsf mutant cells, indicating that the class C Vps proteins and Vam3p may functionally interact. Thus we propose that the class C Vps proteins are components of a hetero-oligomeric protein complex that mediates the delivery of multiple transport intermediates to the vacuole.

Abstract
Our understanding of both membrane traffic in mammalian cells and the cell biology of infection with intracellular pathogens has increased dramatically in recent years. In this review, we discuss the cell biology of the host-microbe interaction for four intracellular pathogens: Chlamydia spp., Legionella pneumophila, Mycobacterium spp., and the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. All of these organisms reside in vacuoles inside cells that have restricted fusion with host organelles of the endocytic cascade. Despite this restricted fusion, the vacuoles surrounding each pathogen display novel interactions with other host cell organelles. In addition to the effect of infection on host membrane traffic, we focus on these novel interactions and relate them where possible to nutrient acquisition by the intracellular organisms.

Abstract
The GTPase dynamin I and the inositol 5-phosphatase synaptojanin are nerve terminal proteins implicated in synaptic vesicle recycling. Both proteins contain COOH-terminal proline-rich domains that can interact with a variety of Src homology 3 (SH3) domains. A major physiological binding partner for dynamin I and synaptojanin in the nervous system is amphiphysin I, an SH3 domain-containing protein also concentrated in nerve terminals. We have used the proline-rich tail of synaptojanin to screen a rat brain library by the two-hybrid method to identify additional interacting partners of synaptojanin. Three related proteins containing SH3 domains that are closely related to the SH3 domains of Grb2 were isolated: SH3p4, SH3p8, and SH3p13. Further biochemical studies demonstrated that the SH3p4/8/13 proteins bind to both synaptojanin and dynamin I. The SH3p4/8/13 transcripts are differentially expressed in tissues: SH3p4 mRNA was detected only in brain, SH3p13 mRNA was present in brain and testis, and the SH3p8 transcript was detected at similar levels in multiple tissues. Members of the SH3p4/8/13 protein family were found to be concentrated in nerve terminals, and pools of synaptojanin and dynamin I were coprecipitated from brain extracts with antibodies recognizing SH3p4/8/13. These findings underscore the important role of SH3-mediated interactions in synaptic vesicle recycling.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence indicate that enzymes that modify membrane lipids function in the regulation of constitutive membrane traffic. Recent evidence suggests that specific phosphatidylinositides may regulate the activity of proteins with diverse functions in membrane transport, such as dynamin, the clathrin-associated AP-2 complex, and proteins that stimulate guanine nucleotide exchange on ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs). ARF proteins activate a phospholipase D that produces phosphatidic acid from phosphatidylcholine, and this may be essential for the formation of certain types of transport vesicles or may be constitutive vesicular transport to signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
Several proteins from diverse organisms have been shown to share a region of sequence homology with the mammalian epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase substrate Eps15. Included in this new protein family, termed EH domain proteins, are two yeast proteins, Pan1p and End3p. We have shown previously that Pan1p is required for normal organization of the actin cytoskeleton and that it associates with the actin patches on the cell cortex. End3p has been shown by others to be an important factor in the process of endocytosis. End3p is also known to be required for the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Here we report that Pan1p and End3p act as a complex in vivo. Using the pan1-4 mutant which we isolated and characterized previously, the END3 gene was identified as a suppressor of pan1-4 when overexpressed. Suppression of the pan1-4 mutation by multicopy END3 required the presence of the mutant Pan1p protein. Coimmunoprecipitation and two-hybrid protein interaction experiments indicated that Pan1p and End3p associate with each other. The localization of Pan1p to the cortical actin cytoskeleton became weakened in the end3 mutant at the permissive temperature and undetectable at the restrictive temperature, suggesting that End3p may be important for proper localization of Pan1p to the cortical actin cytoskeleton. The finding that the pan1-4 mutant was defective in endocytosis as severely as the end3 mutant under nonpermissive conditions supports the notion that the association between Pan1p and End3p is of physiological relevance. Together with results of earlier reports, these results provide strong evidence suggesting that Pan1p and End3p are the components of a complex that has essential functions in both the organization of cell membrane-associated actin cytoskeleton and the process of endocytosis.

Abstract
Agonist stimulation of G protein-coupled receptors causes a dramatic reorganization of their intracellular distribution. Activation of receptors triggers receptor endocytosis and, since receptors recycle back to the surface continuously, a new steady state is reached where a significant proportion of receptors is located internally. Although this movement of receptors is remarkable, its role has been enigmatic. Recent developments have provided insight into the compartments through which the receptors move, the nature of the signals that trigger receptor translocation, and the significance of receptor cycling for cell function. In this article, Jennifer Koenig and Michael Edwardson review recent progress in this field and place receptor cycling into a mathematical framework that reveals the extent and rate of intracellular receptor movement.

Abstract
Internalization of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) requires two receptors, the uPA receptor (uPAR) and the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP)/alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha2M) receptor. Here, we address whether protein kinases are involved in the internalization of uPA by human melanoma cells. Initially, we found that the internalization of uPA was significantly inhibited by the serine/threonine protein kinase inhibitors staurosporine, K-252a and H-89, but not by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, genistein and lavendustin A. Internalization of uPA was also inhibited by a pseudosubstrate peptide for cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), but not by a pseudosubstrate peptide for protein kinase C. We confirmed a requirement for PKA-activity and implicated a specific isoform by using an antisense oligonucleotide against the regulatory subunit RI alpha of PKA which suppresses PKA-I activity. Exposure of cells to this oligonucleotide led to a specific, dose-dependent decrease in RI alpha protein and to a significant inhibition in the rate of uPA internalization. We further demonstrate that treatment of melanoma cells with either H-89 or PKA RI alpha antisense oligonucleotides also resulted in a decreased internalization of two other ligands of LRP, activated alpha2M and lactoferrin, indicating that PKA activity is associated with LRP. Finally, we demonstrate that PKA activity is also required for the internalization of transferrin, but not for the internalization of the epidermal growth factor or adenovirus 2, suggesting that in melanoma cells, PKA activity is not generally required for clathrin-mediated endocytosis, but is rather associated with specific internalization receptors.
