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

Abstract
Nine mutations in the switch I and switch II regions of human ADP-ribosylation factor 3 (ARF3) were isolated from loss-of-interaction screens, using two-hybrid assays with three different effectors. We then analyzed the ability of the recombinant proteins to (i) bind guanine nucleotides, (ii) activate phospholipase D1 (PLD1), (iii) recruit coatomer (COP-I) to Golgi-enriched membranes, and (iv) expand and vesiculate Golgi in intact cells. Correlations of activities in these assays were used as a means of testing specific hypotheses of ARF action, including the role of PLD1 activation in COP-I recruitment, the role of COP-I in Golgi vesiculation caused by expression of the dominant activating mutant [Q71L]ARF3, and the need for PLD1 activation in Golgi vesiculation. Because we were able to find at least one example of a protein that has lost each of these activities with retention of the others, we conclude that activation of PLD1, recruitment of COP-I to Golgi, and vesiculation of Golgi in cells are functionally separable processes. The ability of certain mutants of ARF3 to alter Golgi morphology without changes in PLD1 activity or COP-I binding is interpreted as evidence for at least one additional, currently unidentified, effector for ARF action at the Golgi.

Abstract
Using a cell free assay, we have previously shown that ARF is not required for endosome fusion but that inhibition of fusion by GTPgammaS is dependent on a cytosolic pool of ARFs. Since ARF is proposed to function in intracellular membrane traffic by promoting vesicle biogenesis, and components of clathrin- and COP-coated vesicles have been localized on endosomal structures, we investigated whether ARF-mediated inhibition of early endosome fusion involves the recruitment or irreversible association of these proteins onto endosomal membranes. We now report that depletion of components of clathrin coated vesicles (clathrin, AP-1 and AP-2) or COPI vesicles (beta COP) does not affect the capacity of GTPgammaS-activated ARF to inhibit endosome fusion. Inhibition of fusion by activated ARF is also independent of endosomal acidification since assays performed in the presence of the vacuolar ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1 are equally sensitive to GTPgammaS-bound ARF. Finally, in contrast to reported effects on lysosomes, we demonstrate that ARF-GTPgammaS does not induce endosomal lysis. These combined data argue that sequestration of known coat proteins to membranes by activated ARF is not involved in the inhibition of early endosome fusion and that its capacity to inhibit fusion involves other specific interactions with the endosome surface. These results contrast with the mechanistic action of ARF on intra-Golgi transport and nuclear envelope assembly.

Abstract
The effects of two aminoglycoside antibiotics, neomycin and Geneticin, on the endocytic pathway were studied using a cell-free assay that reconstitutes endosome-endosome fusion. Both drugs inhibit the rate and extent of endosome fusion in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 values of approximately 45 microM and approximately 1 mM, respectively. Because the IC50 for neomycin falls within the range of affinities reported for its binding to acidic phospholipids, notably phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), these data suggest that negatively charged lipids are required for endosome fusion. A role for negatively charged lipids in membrane traffic has been postulated to involve the activity of a PIP2-dependent phospholipase D (PLD) stimulated by the GTP-binding protein ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF). Although neomycin blocks endosome fusion at a stage of the in vitro reaction that is temporally related to steps inhibited by cytosolic ARFs when they bind guanosine-5'-gamma-thiophosphate (GTPgammaS), these inhibitors appear to act in a synergistic manner. This idea is confirmed by the fact that addition of a PIP2-independent PLD does not suppress neomycin inhibition of endosome fusion; moreover, in vitro fusion activity is not affected by the pleckstrin homology domain of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C delta1, which binds to acidic phospholipids, particularly PIP2, with high affinity. Thus, although aminoglycoside-sensitive elements of endosome fusion are required at mechanistic stages that are also blocked by GTPgammaS-bound ARF, these effects are unrelated to inhibition of the PIP2-dependent PLD activity stimulated by this GTP-binding protein. These results argue that there are additional mechanistic roles for acidic phospholipids in the endosomal pathway.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are a family of small molecular, monomeric GTP-binding (G) proteins, initially identified by their ability to enhance cholera toxin (CTX) ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. ARFs have been implicated in protein transport and vesicle and endosome fusion. Although several reports show that synthetic peptides of the N-terminus of ARF inhibited Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis in permeabilized adrenal chromaffin cells, the role of ARFs in exocytosis has not been established. In this study, we investigated the translocation of ARFs to the membrane fraction from the cytosol fraction in PC12 cells after exocytotic stimulation by measuring the immunoreactivity of ARFs (with anti-ARF anti-serum and with anti-ARF3 antibodies) and enzymatic ARF activity, which enhances the CTX effect. Both the immunoreactivity and the enzymatic activity of ARF in the membrane fraction increased about twofold, significantly, after exocytotic stimulation with ATP and KCl. The translocation of ARF and noradrenaline release was observed in the presence of extracellular CaCl2, but not in the absence of CaCl2. The ARF translocated to the membrane fraction after stimulation in intact cells seemed to be an inactive, perhaps is the GDP form, because ARF did not activate CTX in the absence of guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S). As previously reported, ARF in the active, GTP gamma S-bound state bound to the membrane fractions. Thus ARF may have been active during translocation and inactivated later. The immunoreactivity of Gs alpha, one of the trimeric G proteins, was not changed before or after stimulation. These findings suggest that ARFs translocate to membranes from the cytosolic fraction after exocytotic stimulation in PC12 cells, and raise the possibility that ARFs regulate exocytosis.

Abstract
We characterized the in vitro fusion of endosomal compartments from Dictyostelium discoideum. Fusion activity was restricted to early compartments, was dependent on cytosolic proteins, and was activated by GTP and guanosine 5'-O(3-thio)triphosphate (GTPgammaS). This stimulation suggests the involvement of a small G protein, which we propose to be Rab7 on the basis of the strong inhibitory effect of anti-Rab7 antibodies. It is noteworthy that in the presence of GTPgammaS, the concentration of ATP-Mg2+ could be reduced to less than 1 nM without loss of fusion activity. Under these conditions, competing residual ATP with adenosine 5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate-Mg2+ also failed to inhibit endosome fusion. The presence of an ATP-depleting system alone blocked fusion probably because endogenous GTP was removed by coupling through NDP kinase. Moreover, whether ATP was present or not, GTPgammaS-activated fusion was equally sensitive to anti-Rab7 antibodies or N-ethylmaleimide and was restricted to early compartments. These results show that soluble ATP-Mg2+ is not needed for endosome fusion. Since homotypic fusion of endosomes in D. discoideum has been shown to depend on the ATPase N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (Lenhard, J. M., Mayorga, L. , and Stahl, P. D. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 1896-1903), the nucleotide exchange on the N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor must take place before GTPgammaS activation in this system.

Abstract
In vitro or cell-free assays of homotypic fusion between early endosomes have provided several insights into the means by which an intracellular membrane fusion event can be regulated. In this report we show that homotypic fusion between early endosomes from baby-hamster kidney cells is partially blocked by 340 mM ethanol (2% v/v) and by 100 mM butan-1-ol, but not by the secondary alcohol butan-2-ol. We ascribe the effect of primary alcohols to their participation in a well-characterised transphosphatidylation reaction catalysed by phospholipase D activity, which results in the production of phasphatidylalcohol at the expense of phosphatidic acid. In accordance with this interpretation, we find that addition of exogenous phospholipase D results in stimulation of early endosome fusion.

Abstract
Signal-dependent transport of proteins into the nucleus is a multi-step process mediated by nuclear pore complexes and cytosolic transport factors. One of the cytosolic factors, Ran, is the only GTPase that has a characterized role in the nuclear import pathway. We have used a mutant form of Ran with altered nucleotide binding specificity to investigate whether any other GTPases are involved in nuclear protein import. D125N Ran (XTP-Ran) binds specifically to xanthosine triphosphate (XTP) and has a greatly reduced affinity for GTP, so it is no longer sensitive to inhibition by nonhydrolyzable analogues of GTP such as guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S). using in vitro transport assays, we have found that nuclear import supported by XTP-Ran is nevertheless inhibited by the addition of non-hydrolyzable GTP analogues. This in conjunction with the properties of the inhibitory effect indicates that at least one additional GTPase is involved in the import process. Initial characterization suggests that the inhibited GTPase plays a direct role in protein import and could be a component of the nuclear pore complex.

Abstract
We have investigated the effects of Concanamycin A (CMA), a specific inhibitor of vacuolar type H(+)-ATPases, on acidification and function of the endo-lysosomal and contractile vacuole (CV) systems of D. discoideum. This drug inhibited acidification and increased the pH of endo-lysosomal vesicles both in vivo and in vitro in a dose dependent manner. Treatment also inhibited endocytosis and exocytosis of fluid phase, and phagocytosis of latex beads. This report also confirms our previous conclusions (Cardelli et al. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 3454–3463) that maintenance of acidic pH in lumenal compartments is required for efficient processing and targeting of a lysosomal enzyme, alpha-mannosidase. CMA treatment compromised the function of the contractile vacuole complex as amoebae exposed to a hypo-osmotic environment in the presence of CMA, swelled rapidly and ruptured. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that CMA treatment induced gross morphological changes in D. discoideum cells, characterized by the formation of large intracellular vacuoles containing fluid phase. The reticular membranes of the CV system were also no longer as apparent in drug treated cells. Finally, this is the first report describing cells that can adapt in the presence of CMA; in nutrient medium, D. discoideum overcame the effects of CMA after one hour of drug treatment even in the absence of protein synthesis. Upon adaptation to CMA, normal sized endo-lysosomal vesicles reappeared, endo-lysosomal pH decreased, and the rate of endocytosis, exocytosis and phagocytosis returned to normal. This study demonstrates that the V-H(+)-ATPase plays an important role in maintaining the integrity and function of the endo-lysosomal and CV systems and that D. discoideum can compensate for the loss of a functional V-H(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
At the nonpermissive temperature of 39.5 degrees C, the Chinese hamster ovary cell conditionally lethal, temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant ldlF exhibits the following defects: rapid degradation of low density lipoprotein receptors, disruption of ER-through Golgi transport, and disintegration of the Golgi apparatus. All of these are corrected by transfection with an expression vector for wild-type epsilon-COP, a subunit of coatomers (Guo, Q., Vasile, E., and Krieger, M. (1994) J. Cell Biol. 125, 1213-1224). We now report the identification in ldlF cells of a point mutation in the epsilon-COP gene, Glu251 to Lys251, which prevents the corresponding cDNA from correcting the defects in transfected ldlF cells and the immunochemical analysis of the synthesis, structure, and stability of epsilon-COP. At the permissive temperature (34 degrees C), the steady state level of ts-epsilon-COP in ldlF cells was about half that of epsilon-COP in wild-type Chinese hamster ovary cells and the isoelectric point of ts-epsilon-COP was 0.14 pH units higher than that of the wild-type protein. The stability but not the biosynthesis of ts-epsilon-COP was temperature-sensitive (t1/2 > 6 h at 34 degrees C and approximately 1-2 h at 39.5 degrees C), and this accounts for the virtual absence of detectable ts-epsilon-COP protein in ldlF cells after incubation at 39.5 degrees C for > 6h. The steady state levels in ldlF cells of another coatomer subunit, beta-COP, and the peripheral Golgi protein ldlCp were not temperature-sensitive. Thus, a mutation in epsilon-COP that causes instability at 39.5 degrees C is responsible for all of the temperature-sensitive defects in ldlF cells, and the stability of beta-COP is not linked directly to that of epsilon-COP. ldlF cells should be useful for the future analysis of the structure and function of epsilon-COP, the assembly of COPs into coatomers, and the participation of coatomers in intracellular membrane transport.
