Abstract
The sialomucin endolyn is implicated in adhesion, migration, and differentiation of various cell types. Apical delivery of endolyn requires recognition of sialic acids on its N-glycans possibly (or likely) mediated by galectin-9. The sialomucin endolyn is implicated in adhesion, migration, and differentiation of various cell types. Along rat kidney tubules, endolyn is variously localized to the apical surface and endosomal/lysosomal compartments. Apical delivery of newly synthesized rat endolyn predominates over direct lysosomal delivery in polarized Madin–Darby canine kidney cells. Apical sorting depends on terminal processing of a subset of lumenal N-glycans. Here we dissect the requirements of N-glycan processing for apical targeting and investigate the underlying mechanism. Modulation of glycan branching and subsequent polylactosamine elongation by knockdown of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III or V had no effect on apical delivery of endolyn. In contrast, combined but not individual knockdown of sialyltransferases ST3Gal-III, ST3Gal-IV, and ST6Gal-I, which together are responsible for addition of α2,3- and α2,6-linked sialic acids on N-glycans, dramatically decreased endolyn surface polarity. Endolyn synthesized in the presence of kifunensine, which blocks terminal N-glycan processing, reduced its interaction with several recombinant canine galectins, and knockdown of galectin-9 (but not galectin-3, -4, or -8) selectively disrupted endolyn polarity. Our data suggest that sialylation enables recognition of endolyn by galectin-9 to mediate efficient apical sorting. They raise the intriguing possibility that changes in glycosyltransferase expression patterns and/or galectin-9 distribution may acutely modulate endolyn trafficking in the kidney.

Abstract
Furin is a proprotein convertase which activates a variety of regulatory proteins in the constitutive exocytic and endocytic pathway. The effect of genetic ablation of fur was studied in the endocrine pancreas to define its physiological function in the regulated secretory pathway. Pdx1-Cre/loxP furin KO mice show decreased secretion of insulin and impaired processing of known PC2 substrates like proPC2 and proinsulin II. Both secretion and PC2 activity depend on granule acidification, which was demonstrated to be significantly decreased in furin-deficient beta cells by using the acidotrophic agent 3-(2,4-dinitroanilino)-3'amino-N-methyldipropylamine (DAMP). Ac45, an accessory subunit of the proton pump V-ATPase, was investigated as a candidate substrate. Ac45 is highly expressed in islets of Langerhans and furin was able to cleave Ac45 ex vivo. Furthermore, the exact cleavage site was determined. In addition, reduced regulated secretion and proinsulin II processing could be obtained in the insulinoma cell line betaTC3 by downregulation of either furin or Ac45. Together, these data establish an important role for furin in regulated secretion, particularly in intragranular acidification most likely due to impaired processing of Ac45.

Abstract
In arterial myocytes the Ca(2+) mobilizing messenger NAADP evokes spatially restricted Ca(2+) bursts from a lysosome-related store that are subsequently amplified into global Ca(2+) waves by Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+)-release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via ryanodine receptors (RyRs). Lysosomes facilitate this process by forming clusters that co-localize with a subpopulation of RyRs on the SR. We determine here whether RyR subtypes 1, 2 or 3 selectively co-localize with lysosomal clusters in pulmonary arterial myocytes using affinity purified specific antibodies. The density of: (1) alphalgP120 labelling, a lysosome-specific protein, in the perinuclear region of the cell (within 1.5mum of the nucleus) was approximately 4-fold greater than in the sub-plasmalemmal (within 1.5mum of the plasma membrane) and approximately 2-fold greater than in the extra-perinuclear (remainder) regions; (2) RyR3 labelling within the perinuclear region was approximately 4- and approximately 14-fold greater than that in the extra-perinuclear and sub-plasmalemmal regions, and approximately 2-fold greater than that for either RyR1 or RyR2; (3) despite there being no difference in the overall densities of fluorescent labelling of lysosomes and RyR subtypes between cells, co-localization with alphalgp120 labelling within the perinuclear region was approximately 2-fold greater for RyR3 than for RyR2 or RyR1; (4) co-localization between alphalgp120 and each RyR subtype declined markedly outside the perinuclear region. Furthermore, selective block of RyR3 and RyR1 with dantrolene (30muM) abolished global Ca(2+) waves but not Ca(2+) bursts in response to intracellular dialysis of NAADP (10nM). We conclude that a subpopulation of lysosomes cluster in the perinuclear region of the cell and form junctions with SR containing a high density of RyR3 to comprise a trigger zone for Ca(2+) signalling by NAADP.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a disorder of hyperglycemia resulting from failure of beta cells to produce adequate insulin to accommodate an increased metabolic demand. Here we show that regulation of mRNA translation through phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2alpha) is essential to preserve the integrity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and to increase insulin production to meet the demand imposed by a high-fat diet. Accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER activates phosphorylation of eIF2alpha at Ser51 and inhibits translation. To elucidate the role of this pathway in beta-cell function we studied glucose homeostasis in Eif2s1(tm1Rjk) mutant mice, which have an alanine substitution at Ser51. Heterozygous (Eif2s1(+/tm1Rjk)) mice became obese and diabetic on a high-fat diet. Profound glucose intolerance resulted from reduced insulin secretion accompanied by abnormal distension of the ER lumen, defective trafficking of proinsulin, and a reduced number of insulin granules in beta cells. We propose that translational control couples insulin synthesis with folding capacity to maintain ER integrity and that this signal is essential to prevent diet-induced type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The adaptor protein complex AP-3 is involved in the sorting of lysosomal membrane proteins to late endosomes/lysosomes. It is unclear whether AP-3-containing vesicles form at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) or early endosomes. We have compared the trafficking routes of endolyn/CD164 and 'typical' lysosomal membrane glycoproteins (lgp120/lamp-1 and CD63/lamp-3) containing cytosolic YXXPhi-targeting motifs preceded by asparagine and glycine, respectively. Endolyn, which has a NYHTL-motif, is concentrated in lysosomes, but also occurs in endosomes and at the cell surface. We observed predominant interaction of the NYHTL-motif with the mu-subunits of AP-3 in the yeast two-hybrid system. Endolyn was mislocalized to the cell surface in AP-3-deficient pearl cells, confirming a major role of AP-3 in endolyn traffic. However, lysosomal delivery of endolyn (or a NYHTL-reporter), but not GYXXPhi-containing proteins, was practically abolished when AP-2-mediated endocytosis or traffic from early to late endosomes was inhibited in NRK and 3T3 cells. This indicates that endolyn is mostly transported along the indirect lysosomal pathway (via the cell surface), rather than directly from the TGN to late endosomes/lysosomes. Our results suggest that AP-3 mediates lysosomal sorting of some membrane proteins in early endosomes in addition to sorting of proteins with intrinsically strong AP-3-interacting lysosomal targeting motifs at the TGN.

Abstract
Delivery of endocytosed macromolecules to mammalian cell lysosomes occurs by direct fusion of late endosomes with lysosomes, resulting in the formation of hybrid organelles from which lysosomes are reformed. The molecular mechanisms of this fusion are analogous to those of homotypic vacuole fusion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We report herein the major roles of the mammalian homolog of yeast Vps18p (mVps18p), a member of the homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting complex. When overexpressed, mVps18p caused the clustering of late endosomes/lysosomes and the recruitment of other mammalian homologs of the homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting complex, plus Rab7-interacting lysosomal protein. The clusters were surrounded by components of the actin cytoskeleton, including actin, ezrin, and specific unconventional myosins. Overexpression of mVps18p also overcame the effect of wortmannin treatment, which inhibits membrane traffic out of late endocytic organelles and causes their swelling. Reduction of mVps18p by RNA interference caused lysosomes to disperse away from their juxtanuclear location. Thus, mVps18p plays a critical role in endosome/lysosome tethering, fusion, intracellular localization and in the reformation of lysosomes from hybrid organelles.

Abstract
Annexins are a family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins, which have been implicated in a variety of biological processes including membrane trafficking. The annexin 6/lgp120 prelysosomal compartment of NRK cells was loaded with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and then its transport from this endocytic compartment and its degradation in lysosomes were studied. NRK cells were microinjected with the mutated annexin 6 (anx6(1-175)), to assess the possible involvement of annexin 6 in the transport of LDL from the prelysosomal compartment. The results indicated that microinjection of mutated annexin 6, in NRK cells, showed the accumulation of LDL in larger endocytic structures, denoting retention of LDL in the prelysosomal compartment. To confirm the involvement of annexin 6 in the trafficking and the degradation of LDL we used CHO cells transfected with mutated annexin 6(1-175). Thus, in agreement with NRK cells the results obtained in CHO cells demonstrated a significant inhibition of LDL degradation in CHO cells expressing the mutated form of annexin 6 compared to controls overexpressing wild-type annexin 6. Therefore, we conclude that annexin 6 is involved in the trafficking events leading to LDL degradation.

Abstract
A number of recent studies have highlighted the importance of lipid domains within endocytic organelles in the sorting and movement of integral membrane proteins. In particular, considerable attention has become focussed upon the role of the unusual phospholipid lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA). This lipid appears to be directly involved in the trafficking of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids, and accumulates in a number of lysosomal storage disorders. Antibody-mediated disruption of LBPA function also leads to mis-sorting of cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptors. We now report that the converse is also true, and that spontaneous loss of cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptors from a rat fibroblast cell line led to the formation of aberrant late endocytic structures enriched in LBPA. Accumulation of LBPA was directly dependent upon the loss of the receptors, and could be reversed by expression of bovine cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptors in the mutant cell line. Ultrastructural analysis indicated that the abnormal organelles were electron-dense, had a multi-lamellar structure, accumulated endocytosed probes, and were distinct from dense-core lysosomes present within the same cells. The late endocytic structures present at steady state within any particular cell likely reflect the balance of membrane traffic through the endocytic pathway of that cell, and the rate of maturation of individual endocytic organelles. Moreover, there is considerable evidence which suggests that cargo receptors also play a direct mechanistic role in membrane trafficking events. Therefore, loss of such a protein may disturb the overall equilibrium of the pathway, and hence cause the accumulation of aberrant organelles. We propose that this mechanism underlies the phenotype of the mutant cell line, and that the formation of inclusion bodies in many lysosomal storage diseases is also due to an imbalance in membrane trafficking within the endocytic pathway.

Abstract
Protein traffic from the cell surface or the trans-Golgi network reaches the lysosome via a series of endosomal compartments. One of the last steps in the endocytic pathway is the fusion of late endosomes with lysosomes. This process has been reconstituted in vitro and has been shown to require NSF, alpha and gamma SNAP, and a Rab GTPase based on inhibition by Rab GDI. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, fusion events to the lysosome-like vacuole are mediated by the syntaxin protein Vam3p, which is localized to the vacuolar membrane. In an effort to identify the molecular machinery that controls fusion events to the lysosome, we searched for mammalian homologues of Vam3p. One such candidate is syntaxin 7. Here we show that syntaxin 7 is concentrated in late endosomes and lysosomes. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments show that syntaxin 7 is associated with the endosomal v-SNARE Vamp 8, which partially colocalizes with syntaxin 7. Importantly, we show that syntaxin 7 is specifically required for the fusion of late endosomes with lysosomes in vitro, resulting in a hybrid organelle. Together, these data identify a SNARE complex that functions in the late endocytic system of animal cells.

Abstract
Annexin VI is an abundant calcium- and phospholipid-binding protein whose intracellular distribution and function are still controversial. Using a highly specific antibody, we have studied the distribution of annexin VI in NRK fibroblasts and the polarized hepatic cell line WIF-B by confocal microscopy. In NRK cells, annexin VI was almost exclusively found associated with endocytic compartments, which were defined by their ability to receive fluid-phase marker internalized from the cell surface. However, extensive colocalization of annexin VI and the endocytic marker was only observed after about 45 min, indicating that annexin VI was primarily in late endocytic compartments or (pre)lysosomes. Consistent with this, annexin VI was predominantly seen on structures that contained the lysosomal protein lgp120, although not on dense core lysosomes by electron microscopy. Two major populations of annexin VI-containing structures were present in polarized WIF-B hepatocytes. One correlated to lgp120-positive (pre)lysosomes and was still observed after treatment with brefeldin A (BFA), while the other appeared to be partially associated with Golgi membranes and was BFA-sensitive. The striking association with prelysosomal compartments in NRK and WIF-B cells suggests that annexin VI could play a role in fusion events in the late endocytic pathway, possibly by acting as a tether between membranes.

Abstract
Endolyn (endolyn-78) is a membrane protein found in lysosomal and endosomal compartments of mammalian cells. Unlike 'classical' lysosomal membrane proteins, such as lysosome-associated membrane protein (lamp)-1, it is also present in a subapical compartment in polarized WIF-B hepatocytes. The structural features that determine sorting of endolyn are unknown. We have identified a rat endolyn cDNA by expression screening. The cDNA encodes a ubiquitously expressed type I membrane protein with a short cytoplasmic tail of 13 amino acids and many putative sites for N- and O-linked glycosylation in the predicted luminal domain. Endolyn is closely related to two human mucin-like proteins, multi-glycosylated core protein (MGC)-24 and CD164 (MGC-24v), expressed in gastric carcinoma cells and bone marrow stromal and haematopoietic precursor cells respectively. The predicted transmembrane and cytoplasmic tail domains of endolyn, as well as parts of its luminal domain, also show some similarities with lamp-1 and lamp-2. Like these and other known lysosomal membrane proteins, endolyn contains a YXXO motif at the C-terminus of its cytoplasmic tail (where O is a bulky hydrophobic amino acid), but with no preceding glycine. Nonetheless, the last ten amino acids of this tail, when transplanted on to human CD8, caused efficient targeting of the chimaeric protein to endosomes and lysosomes in transfected normal rat kidney cells.

Abstract
Adaptor protein complexes (APs) function as vesicle coat components in different membrane traffic pathways; however, there are a number of pathways for which there is still no candidate coat. To find novel coat components related to AP complexes, we have searched the expressed sequence tag database and have identified, cloned, and sequenced a new member of each of the four AP subunit families. We have shown by a combination of coimmunoprecipitation and yeast two-hybrid analysis that these four proteins (epsilon, beta4, mu4, and sigma4) are components of a novel adaptor-like heterotetrameric complex, which we are calling AP-4. Immunofluorescence reveals that AP-4 is localized to approximately 10-20 discrete dots in the perinuclear region of the cell. This pattern is disrupted by treating the cells with brefeldin A, indicating that, like other coat proteins, the association of AP-4 with membranes is regulated by the small GTPase ARF. Immunogold electron microscopy indicates that AP-4 is associated with nonclathrin-coated vesicles in the region of the trans-Golgi network. The mu4 subunit of the complex specifically interacts with a tyrosine-based sorting signal, indicating that, like the other three AP complexes, AP-4 is involved in the recognition and sorting of cargo proteins with tyrosine-based motifs. AP-4 is of relatively low abundance, but it is expressed ubiquitously, suggesting that it participates in a specialized trafficking pathway but one that is required in all cell types.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies against the limiting membrane of alveolar type II cell lamellar bodies were obtained after immunization of mice with a membrane fraction prepared from lamellar bodies isolated from rat lungs. The specificity of the antibodies was investigated with Western blot analysis, indirect immunofluorescence, and electron-microscopic immunogold studies of freshly isolated or cultured alveolar type II cells, alveolar macrophages, and rat lung tissue. One of the monoclonal antibodies identified, MAb 3C9, recognized a 180-kDa lamellar body membrane (lbm180) protein. Immunogold labeling of rat lung tissue with MAb 3C9 demonstrated that lbm180 protein is primarily localized at the lamellar body limiting membrane and is not found in the lamellar body contents. Most multivesicular bodies of type II cells were also labeled, as were some small cytoplasmic vesicles. Golgi complex labeling and plasma membrane labeling were weak. The appearance of lbm180 protein by immunofluorescence in fetal rat lung cryosections correlated with the biogenesis of lamellar bodies. The lbm180 protein decreased with time in type II cells cultured on plastic. The lbm180 protein is an integral membrane protein of lamellar bodies and was also found in the pancreas and the pancreatic betaHC9 cell line but not in the rat brain, liver, kidney, stomach, or intestine. The present study provides evidence that the lbm180 protein is a lung lamellar body and/or multivesicular body membrane protein and that its antibody, MAb 3C9, will be a valuable reagent in further investigations of the biogenesis and trafficking of type II cell organelles.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that when the cytosolic domains of the type I membrane proteins TGN38 and lysosomal glycoprotein 120 (lgp120) are added to a variety of reporter molecules, the resultant chimeric molecules are localized to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and to lysosomes, respectively. In the present study we expressed chimeric constructs of rat TGN38 and rat lgp120 in HeLa cells. We found that targeting information in the cytosolic domain of TGN38 could be overridden by the presence of the lumenal and transmembrane domains of lgp120. In contrast, the presence of the transmembrane and cytosolic domains of TGN38 was sufficient to deliver the lumenal domain of lgp120 to the trans-Golgi network. On the basis of steady-state localization of the various chimeras and antibody uptake experiments, we propose that there is a hierarchy of targeting information in each molecule contributing to sorting within the endocytic pathway. The lumenal and cytosolic domains of lgp120 contribute to sorting and delivery to lysosomes, whereas the transmembrane and cytosolic domains of TGN38 contribute to sorting and delivery to the trans-Golgi network.

Abstract
We studied basolateral-to-apical transcytosis of three classes of apical plasma membrane (PM) proteins in polarized hepatic WIF-B cells and then compared it to the endocytic trafficking of basolaterally recycling membrane proteins. We used antibodies to label the basolateral cohort of proteins at the surface of living cells and then followed their trafficking at 37 degreesC by indirect immunofluorescence. The apical PM proteins aminopeptidase N, 5'nucleotidase, and the polymeric IgA receptor were efficiently transcytosed. Delivery to the apical PM was confirmed by microinjection of secondary antibodies into the bile canalicular-like space and by EM studies. Before acquiring their apical steady-state distribution, the trafficked antibodies accumulated in a subapical compartment, which had a unique tubulovesicular appearance by EM. In contrast, antibodies to the receptors for asialoglycoproteins and mannose-6-phosphate or to the lysosomal membrane protein, lgp120, distributed to endosomes or lysosomes, respectively, without accumulating in the subapical area. However, the route taken by the endosomal/lysosomal protein endolyn-78 partially resembled the transcytotic pathway, since anti-endolyn-78 antibodies were found in a subapical compartment before delivery to lysosomes. Our results suggest that in WIF-B cells, transcytotic molecules pass through a subapical compartment that functions as a second sorting site for a subset of basolaterally endocytosed membrane proteins reaching this compartment.

Abstract
We have recently shown that two proteins related to two of the adaptor subunits of clathrincoated vesicles, p47 (mu3) and beta-NAP (beta3B), are part of an adaptor-like complex not associated with clathrin (Simpson, F., N.A. Bright, M.A. West, L.S. Newman, R.B. Darnell, and M.S. Robinson, 1996. J. Cell Biol. 133:749-760). In the present study we have searched the EST database and have identified, cloned, and sequenced a ubiquitously expressed homologue of beta-NAP, beta3A, as well as homologues of the alpha/gamma and sigma adaptor subunits, delta and sigma3, which are also ubiquitously expressed. Antibodies raised against recombinant delta and sigma3 show that they are the other two subunits of the adaptor-like complex. We are calling this complex AP-3, a name that has also been used for the neuronalspecific phosphoprotein AP180, but we feel that it is a more appropriate designation for an adaptor-related heterotetramer. Immunofluorescence using anti-delta antibodies reveals that the AP-3 complex is associated with the Golgi region of the cell as well as with more peripheral structures. These peripheral structures show only limited colocalization with endosomal markers and may correspond to a postTGN biosynthetic compartment. The delta subunit is closely related to the protein product of the Drosophila garnet gene, which when mutated results in reduced pigmentation of the eyes and other tissues. Because pigment granules are believed to be similar to lysosomes, this suggests either that the AP-3 complex may be directly involved in trafficking to lysosomes or alternatively that it may be involved in another pathway, but that missorting in that pathway may indirectly lead to defects in pigment granules.

Abstract
The survival, differentiation, and maintenance of responsive neurons are regulated by nerve growth factor (NGF), which is secreted by the target and interacts with receptors on the axon tip. It is uncertain how the NGF signal is communicated retrogradely from distal axons to neuron cell bodies. Retrograde transport of activated receptors in endocytic vesicles could convey the signal. However, little is known about endocytosis of NGF receptors, and there is no evidence that NGF receptors continue to signal after endocytosis. We have examined early events in the membrane traffic of NGF and its receptor, gp140(TrkA) (TrkA), in PC12 cells. NGF induced rapid and extensive endocytosis of TrkA in these cells, and the receptor subsequently moved into small organelles located near the plasma membrane. Some of these organelles contained clathrin and alpha-adaptin, which implies that TrkA is internalized by clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Using mechanical permeabilization and fractionation, intracellular organelles derived from endocytosis were separated from the plasma membrane. After NGF treatment, NGF was bound to TrkA in endocytic organelles, and TrkA was tyrosine-phosphorylated and bound to PLC-gamma1, suggesting that these receptors were competent to initiate signal transduction. These studies raise the possibility that NGF induces formation of signaling endosomes containing activated TrkA. They are an important first step in elucidating the molecular mechanism of NGF retrograde signaling.

Abstract
Addition of wortmannin to normal rat kidney cells caused a redistribution of the lysosomal type I integral membrane proteins Igp110 and Igp120 to a swollen vacuolar compartment. This compartment did not contain the cation independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor and was depleted in acid hydrolases. It was distinct from another swollen vacuolar compartment containing the cation independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor. The swollen Igp110-positive compartment was accessible to a monoclonal antibody against Igp120 added extracellularly, showing that it had the characteristics of an endosomal compartment. Wortmannin had no gross morphological effect on the trans-Golgi network or lysosomes nor any effect on the delivery to the trans-Golgi network of endocytosed antibodies against the type I membrane protein TGN38. We propose that the observed effects of wortmannin were due to inhibition of membrane traffic between cation independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor-positive late endosomes and the trans-Golgi network and to inhibition of membrane traffic between a novel Igp120-positive, cation independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor-negative late endosomal compartment and lysosomes. The effects of wortmannin suggest a function for a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(s) in regulating membrane traffic in the late endocytic pathway.

Abstract
Many of the actions of the neuropeptide substance P (SP) that are mediated by the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-R) desensitize and resensitize, which may be associated with NK1-R endocytosis and recycling. We delineated this endocytic pathway in transfected cells by confocal microscopy using cyanine 3-SP and NK1-R antibodies. SP and the NK1-R were internalized into the same clathrin immunoreactive vesicles, and then sorted into different compartments. The NK1-R was colocalized with a marker of early endosomes, but not with markers of late endosomes or lysosomes. We quantified the NK1-R at the cell surface by incubating cells with an antibody to an extracellular epitope. After exposure to SP, there was a loss and subsequent recovery of surface NK1-R. The loss was prevented by hypertonic sucrose and potassium depletion, inhibitors of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Recovery was independent of new protein synthesis because it was unaffected by cycloheximide. Recovery required endosomal acidification because it was prevented by an H(+)-ATPase inhibitor. The fate of internalized 125I-SP was examined by chromatography. SP was intact at the cell surface and in early endosomes, but slowly degraded in perinuclear vesicles. We conclude that SP induces clathrin-dependent internalization of the NK1-R. The SP/NK1-R complex dissociates in acidified endosomes. SP is degraded, whereas the NK1-R recycles to the cell surface.

Abstract
The insulin storage granule of the pancreatic beta cell is assembled within the trans Golgi network from around 50 or so gene products many of which are synthesized coordinately with the major component, proinsulin. An important contribution to our understanding of the regulation of this process has come from studies of the post-translational processing of proinsulin and of other proteins which are stored in the granule, particularly the processing enzymes themselves. The present review focusses on recent insights into the molecular nature of the processing machinery, and the granule Ca(2+)-dependent subtilisin-related endopeptidases which catalyse the initial rate-limiting step in the enzymic conversion of proinsulin.

Abstract
To study the target antigens of the islet cell cytoplasmic antibodies (ICA), we tried to make a monoclonal islet cell antibody. We made a monoclonal antibody 14A20 (IgM, kappa) that reacted strongly with Wistar and BB rat islet cells and weakly with pancreatic acinar cells. The immunoreactivity of the 14A20 was also found to react extensively in neuroendocrine cells. Immunostaining showed a granular pattern in both neurons and islet cells. Chemical and enzymic studies revealed that the antigen has the property of a protein. We compared immunoreactivity of the monoclonal antibody 14A20 with anti-insulin, -glucagon or -somatostatin antibodies. The antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody 14A20 was equally present in the alpha, beta, and delta cells of islet, which mimicked the immunoreactivity of the ICA in the pancreas. The recognized protein had a relative molecular weight of 220,000, indicating that it is different from the previously identified target antigen of the ICA.

Abstract
Targeting and recruitment of the plasma membrane (PM) clathrin-coated vesicle adaptor complexes has been studied using an in vitro system based on permeabilized acceptor cells and donor cytosol. Through the use of species- and/or tissue-specific antibodies, only newly recruited exogenous PM adaptors are visualized. Targeting of PM adaptors can be switched from the plasma membrane to a perinuclear compartment by GTP gamma S or excess calcium. Prior treatment with brefeldin A prevents GTP gamma S-induced mistargeting. Double-labeling immunofluorescence and immunogold EM indicate that the perinuclear PM adaptor binding compartment is late endosomal. We propose that receptors for PM adaptors cycle between the plasma membrane and an endosomal storage compartment. Normally the receptors would be switched on only at the plasma membrane, but both GTP gamma S and calcium are capable of reversing this switch. Intracellular sequestration of PM adaptor receptors may provide the cell with a mechanism for up-regulating endocytosis following a burst of exocytosis.

Abstract
The biogenesis of secretory granules in endocrine, neuroendocrine, and exocrine cells is thought to involve a selective aggregation of the regulated secretory proteins into a dense-cored structure. The dense-core is then enveloped by membrane in the trans-Golgi network and buds, forming an immature secretory granule. The immature secretory granule then undergoes a maturation process which gives rise to the mature secretory granule. The recent data on the processes of aggregation, budding and maturation are summarized here. In addition, the current knowledge about the mature secretory granule is reviewed with emphasis on the biogenesis of the membrane of this organelle.

Abstract
Efficient transport of cell surface glycoproteins to the Golgi apparatus has been previously demonstrated for a limited number of proteins, and has been proposed to require selective sorting in the endocytic pathway after internalization. We have studied the endocytic fate of several glycoproteins that accumulate in different organelles in a variant clone of PC12, a regulated secretory cell line. The cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor and the low density lipoprotein receptor, both rapidly internalized from the cell surface, and the synaptic vesicle membrane protein synaptophysin, were transported to the Golgi apparatus with equivalent, nonlinear kinetics. Transport to the Golgi apparatus (t1/2 = 2.5-3.0 h) was several times faster than turnover of these proteins (t1/2 greater than or equal to 20 h), indicating that transport of these proteins to the Golgi apparatus occurred on average several times for each protein. In contrast, Thy-1, a protein anchored in the membrane by a glycosylphosphoinositide group, was internalized and transported to the Golgi apparatus more slowly than the three transmembrane proteins. Since each of the transmembrane proteins studied showed the same t1/2 for transport to the Golgi apparatus, we conclude that transport of these proteins from the cell surface to the Golgi apparatus does not require sorting information specific to any one of these proteins. These results suggest that one of the functions of late endosomes is constitutive recycling of cell surface receptors through the Golgi apparatus if they fail to recycle to the cell surface directly from early endosomes, and that the late endosome recycling pathway is followed frequently by many rapidly internalized proteins.

Abstract
Glycoprotein II (GP II) is a protein found in the membranes of chromaffin granules from adrenal medulla. Immunoblotting (one- and two-dimensional) revealed that this antigen is also present in liver and in kidney. Subcellular fractionation of the latter organ indicated that GP II was present in lysosomes. This was confirmed by immunoelectron microscopy. The antiserum against GP II immunolabelled the membranes of organelles which could be identified as lysosomes by the labelling of their contents with an antiserum against cathepsin D. Thus GP II is an antigen common to secretory vesicles and lysosomes.

Abstract
A membrane fraction has been prepared by sucrose density gradient fractionation of purified cortical secretory vesicles from the eggs of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. The purified cortical vesicle membrane fraction has a phospholipid to protein ratio of 1.76 and exhibits a morphology typical of biological membranes as seen by electron microscopy. The protein composition of the purified membranes was analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and shown to be distinct from that of eggs, cell surface complex, cortical vesicles, fertilization product, and yolk platelets. Alkaline extraction (pH 11.0) of peripheral membrane proteins increased the phospholipid to protein ratio to 2.55 and removed several polypeptides. Immunoblot analysis of the isolated cortical vesicle membrane fraction revealed low levels of contamination with two major cortical vesicle content proteins. Fractions enriched in egg plasma membranes and yolk platelet membranes also have been isolated and compared with the cortical vesicle membranes by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein compositions of the three membrane fractions were found to contain very little overlap, indicating that the cortical vesicle membrane preparation is relatively free of contamination from these likely noncortical vesicle sources of membrane. Both the plasma membrane and cortical vesicle membrane samples were found by immunoblotting to contain actin.

Abstract
The insulin secretory granule of the pancreatic B cell is a complex intracellular organelle comprised of a many proteins with different catalytic activities and messenger functions. With the advent of tumour models of the B cells and the application of immunological and molecular cloning techniques considerable progress has been made in recent years towards the elucidation of the structure and function of these granule proteins. A number of examples are selected here for review. Particular emphasis given to how the activities of quite different granule proteins are interdependent and how this contributes to the co-ordination and integration of the organelle's biological functions.

Abstract
This review seeks to illustrate that the concept of a 'diffuse neuroendocrine system' arises from a series of ontogenetic, phylogenetic and functional overlaps borne out at the molecular level, which engender an apparent global unit. Extrapolation from the overlaps should lead to the discovery of new facets in the relationships between molecular components of the DNES, and this approach will lead to a spectrum of markers and probes with a variety of clinical applications. Initial approaches progressed from cellular function toward molecular anatomy, but converse questions starting from anatomical markers are now arising.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of a component SGM 110, specifically localized to the membrane of insulin secretory granules, was studied in rat insulinoma cells and in normal islets of Langerhans. Cells or islets were labelled with [35S]methionine or [3H]mannose and SGM 110 was immunoprecipitated by using a monoclonal antibody. Pulse-chase experiments demonstrated that the nascent polypeptide was cotranslationally glycosylated to form a 97,000 Da peptide which in turn was processed to the mature 110,000 Da form. A 50,000 Da form detected by immunoblotting with the same antibody was not conspicuously labelled even after a 20 h chase incubation, suggesting that it represented late processing of SGM 110 in lysosomes. With insulinoma cells, an increase in medium glucose concentration from 3 mM to 20 mM was without effect on the secretion of insulin or on the biosynthesis of (pro)insulin or SGM 110. In normal islets, however, 20 mM-glucose produced a 17-fold increase in (pro)insulin biosynthesis and a 13-fold increase in SGM 110 biosynthesis, compared with only a 2-fold increase in total protein synthesis, as judged by incorporation of [35S]methionine during a 1 h incubation. The effect of glucose on both (pro)insulin and SGM 110 biosynthesis was blocked by the addition of mannoheptulose, but not by the removal of extracellular calcium, both of which conditions inhibit insulin secretion. In contrast tolbutamide, an agent which stimulates insulin secretion, did not enhance the biosynthesis of (pro)insulin or SGM 110. It is concluded that at least one protein component of the insulin secretory granule membrane is synthesized co-ordinately with proinsulin and is subject to similar regulatory mechanisms. Factors which acutely control insulin secretion may also control granule biogenesis, although the two processes are not coupled in an obligatory fashion.
