Abstract
Ninety years after the discovery of the virus causing the influenza disease, this malady remains one of the biggest public health threats to mankind. Currently available drugs and vaccines only partially reduce deaths and hospitalizations. Some of the reasons for this disturbing situation stem from the sophistication of the viral machinery, but another reason is the lack of a complete understanding of the molecular and physiological basis of viral infections and host-pathogen interactions. Even the functions of the influenza proteins, their mechanisms of action and interaction with host proteins have not been fully revealed. These questions have traditionally been studied in mammalian animal models, mainly ferrets and mice (as well as pigs and non-human primates) and in cell lines. Although obviously relevant as models to humans, these experimental systems are very complex and are not conveniently accessible to various genetic, molecular and biochemical approaches. The fact that influenza remains an unsolved problem, in combination with the limitations of the conventional experimental models, motivated increasing attempts to use the power of other models, such as low eukaryotes, including invertebrate, and primary cell cultures. In this review, we summarized the efforts to study influenza in yeast, Drosophila, zebrafish and primary human tissue cultures and the major contributions these studies have made toward a better understanding of the disease. We feel that these models are still under-utilized and we highlight the unique potential each model has for better comprehending virus-host interactions and viral protein function.

Abstract
Living cells are complex and dynamic assemblies that carefully sequester and orchestrate multiple diverse processes that enable growth, division, regulation, movement, and communication. Membrane-bound organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, plasma membrane, and others are integral to these processes, and their functions demand dynamic reorganization in both space and time. Visualizing these dynamics in live cells over long time periods demands probes that label discrete organelles specifically, at high density, and withstand long-term irradiation. Here we describe the evolution of our work on the development of a set of high-density environmentally sensitive (HIDE) membrane probes that enable long-term, live-cell nanoscopy of the dynamics of multiple organelles in live cells using single-molecule switching and stimulated emission depletion imaging modalities.

Abstract
Hepatocytes, like other epithelia, are situated at the interface between the organism's exterior and the underlying internal milieu and organize the vectorial exchange of macromolecules between these two spaces. To mediate this function, epithelial cells, including hepatocytes, are polarized with distinct luminal domains that are separated by tight junctions from lateral domains engaged in cell-cell adhesion and from basal domains that interact with the underlying extracellular matrix. Despite these universal principles, hepatocytes distinguish themselves from other nonstriated epithelia by their multipolar organization. Each hepatocyte participates in multiple, narrow lumina, the bile canaliculi, and has multiple basal surfaces that face the endothelial lining. Hepatocytes also differ in the mechanism of luminal protein trafficking from other epithelia studied. They lack polarized protein secretion to the luminal domain and target single-spanning and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored bile canalicular membrane proteins via transcytosis from the basolateral domain. We compare this unique hepatic polarity phenotype with that of the more common columnar epithelial organization and review our current knowledge of the signaling mechanisms and the organization of polarized protein trafficking that govern the establishment and maintenance of hepatic polarity. The serine/threonine kinase LKB1, which is activated by the bile acid taurocholate and, in turn, activates adenosine monophosphate kinase-related kinases including AMPK1/2 and Par1 paralogues has emerged as a key determinant of hepatic polarity. We propose that the absence of a hepatocyte basal lamina and differences in cell-cell adhesion signaling that determine the positioning of tight junctions are two crucial determinants for the distinct hepatic and columnar polarity phenotypes.

Abstract
In this review I describe the several stages of my research career, all of which were driven by a desire to understand the basic mechanisms responsible for the complex and beautiful organization of the eukaryotic cell. I was originally trained as an electron microscopist in Argentina, and my first major contribution was the introduction of glutaraldehyde as a fixative that preserved the fine structure of cells, which opened the way for cytochemical studies at the EM level. My subsequent work on membrane-bound ribosomes illuminated the process of cotranslational translocation of polypeptides across the ER membrane and led to the formulation, with Gunter Blobel, of the signal hypothesis. My later studies with many talented colleagues contributed to an understanding of ER structure and function and aspects of the mechanisms that generate and maintain the polarity of epithelial cells. For this work my laboratory introduced the now widely adopted Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line, and demonstrated the polarized budding of envelope viruses from those cells, providing a powerful new system that further advanced the field of protein traffic.

Abstract
Serum albumin secretion from rat hepatocytes proceeds via the constitutive pathway. Although much is known about the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in regulated secretion, nothing is known about its function in the constitutive process. Here we show that albumin secretion is inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein but relatively insensitive to subtype-selective inhibitors or treatments. Secretion is also blocked in a physiologically identical manner by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors pervanadate and bisperoxo(1,10-phenanthroline)-oxovanadate. Inhibition of either the kinase(s) or phosphatase(s) leads to the accumulation of albumin between the trans-Golgi and the plasma membrane, whereas the immediate precursor proalbumin builds up in a proximal compartment. The trans-Golgi marker TGN38 is rapidly dispersed under conditions that inhibit tyrosine phosphatase action, whereas the distribution of the cis-Golgi marker GM130 is insensitive to genistein or pervanadate. By using a specifically reactive biotinylation probe, we detected protein tyrosine phosphatases in highly purified rat liver Golgi membranes. These membranes also contain both endogenous tyrosine kinases and their substrates, indicating that enzymes and substrates for reversible tyrosine phosphorylation are normal membrane-resident components of this trafficking compartment. In the absence of perturbation of actin filaments and microtubules, we conclude that reversible protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the trans-Golgi network is essential for albumin secretion and propose that the constitutive secretion of albumin is in fact a regulated process.

Abstract
The integrated interplay between proteins and lipids drives many key cellular processes, such as signal transduction, cytoskeleton remodelling and membrane trafficking. The last of these, membrane trafficking, has the Golgi complex as its central station. Not only does this organelle orchestrates the biosynthesis, transport and intracellular distribution of many proteins and lipids, but also its own function and structure is dictated by intimate functional and physical relationships between protein-based and lipid-based machineries. These machineries are involved in the control of the fundamental events that govern membrane traffic, such as in the budding, fission and fusion of transport intermediates, in the regulation of the shape and geometry of the Golgi membranes themselves, and, finally, in the generation of "signals" that can have local actions in the secretory system, or that may affect other cellular systems. Lipid-protein interactions rely on the abilities of certain protein domains to recognize specific lipids. These interactions are mediated, in particular, through the headgroups of the phospholipids, although a few of these protein domains are able to specifically interact with the phospholipid acyl chains. Recent evidence also indicates that some proteins and/or protein domains are more sensitive to the physical environment of the membrane bilayer (such as its curvature) than to its chemical composition.

Abstract
Matrix gamma-carboxyglutamic acid protein (MGP) is a member of the vitamin K-dependent protein family with unique structural and physical properties. MGP has been shown to be an inhibitor of arterial wall and cartilage calcification. One inhibitory mechanism is thought to be binding of bone morphogenetic protein-2. Binding has been shown to be dependent upon the vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylation modification of MGP. Since MGP is an insoluble matrix protein, this work has focused on intracellular processing and transport of MGP to become an extracellular binding protein for bone morphogenetic protein-2. Human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were infected with an adenovirus carrying the MGP construct, which produced non-gamma-carboxylated MGP and fully gamma-carboxylated MGP. Both forms of MGP were found in the cytosolic and microsomal fractions obtained from the cells by differential centrifugation. The crude microsomal fraction was shown to contain an additional, more acidic Ser-phosphorylated form of MGP believed to be the product of Golgi casein kinase. The data suggest that phosphorylation of MGP dictates different transport routes for MGP in VSMCs. A proteomic approach failed to identify a larger soluble precursor of MGP or an intracellular carrier protein for MGP. Evidence is presented for a receptor-mediated uptake mechanism for fetuin by cultured human VSMCs. Fetuin, shown by mass spectrometry not to contain MGP, was found to be recognized by anti-MGP antibodies. Fetuin uptake and secretion by proliferating and differentiating cells at sites of calcification in the arterial wall may represent an additional protective mechanism against arterial calcification.

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
Protein kinase D (PKD) binds to diacylglycerol (DAG) in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and is activated by trimeric G-protein subunits beta gamma. This complex then regulates the formation of transport carriers in the TGN that traffic to the plasma membrane in non-polarized cells. Here we report specificity of different PKD isoforms in regulating protein trafficking from the TGN. Kinase-inactive forms of PKD1, PKD2 and PKD3 localize to the TGN in polarized and non-polarized cells. PKD activity is required only for the transport of proteins containing basolateral sorting information, and seems to be cargo specific.

Abstract
A role for heterotrimeric G proteins in the regulation of Golgi function and formation of secretory granules is generally accepted. We set out to study the effect of activation of heterotrimeric G proteins by aluminum fluoride on secretory granule formation in AtT-20 corticotropic tumor cells and in melanotrophs from the rat pituitary. In AtT-20 cells, treatment with aluminum fluoride or fluoride alone for 60 min induced complete dispersal of Golgi, ER-Golgi intermediate compartment and Golgi matrix markers, while betaCOP immunoreactiviy retained a juxtanuclear position and TGN38 was unaffected. Electron microscopy showed compression of Golgi cisternae followed by conversion of the Golgi stacks into clusters of tubular and vesicular elements. In the melanotroph of the rat pituitary a similar compression of Golgi cisternae was observed, followed by a progressive loss of cisternae from the stacks. As shown in other cells, brefeldin A induced redistribution of the Golgi matrix protein GM130 to punctate structures in the cytoplasm in AtT-20 cells, while mannosidase II immunoreactivity was completely dispersed. Fluoride induced a complete dispersal of mannosidase II and GM130 immunoreactivity. The effect of fluoride was fully reversible with reestablishment of normal mannosidase II and GM130 immunoreactivity within 2 h. After 1 h of recovery, showing varying stages of reassembly, the patterns of mannosidase II and GM130 immunoreactivity were identical in individual cells, indicating that Golgi matrix and cisternae reassemble with similar kinetics during recovery from fluoride treatment. Instead of a specific aluminum fluoride effect on secretory granule formation in the trans-Golgi network, we thus observe a unique form of Golgi dispersal induced by fluoride alone, possibly via its action as a phosphatase inhibitor.

Abstract
Aquaporin 2 (AQP2) phosphorylation at Ser-256 by protein kinase A (PKA) is a key signal for vasopressin-stimulated AQP2 insertion into the plasma membrane in renal cells. This study underscores the possible role of phosphorylation at Ser-256 in regulating AQP2 maturation. AQP2-transfected renal CD8 cells were incubated with brefeldin A (BFA) to accumulate newly synthesized AQP2 in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and AQP2 flow from ER to the vesicular compartment was analyzed after BFA washout. We found that a) in the ER, AQP2 is weakly phosphorylated; b) the amount of phosphorylated AQP2 (p-AQP2) at Ser-256 increased significantly during transit in the Golgi, even in the presence of the PKA inhibitor H89; and c) AQP2 transport from the Golgi to the vasopressin-regulated vesicular compartment occurred with a concomitant decrease in p-AQP2 at Ser-256. These results support the hypothesis that AQP2 transition in the Golgi apparatus is associated with a PKA-independent increase in AQP2 phosphorylation at Ser-256. Conversely, impaired constitutive phosphorylation in a Golgi-associated compartment occurring in cells expressing mutated S256A-AQP2 or E258K-AQP2 causes phosphorylation-defective AQP2 routing to lysosomes. This result might explain the molecular basis of the dominant form of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus caused by the mutation E258K-AQP2, in which the phenotype is caused by an impaired routing of AQP2.

Abstract
In HepG2 cells, the subapical compartment (SAC) is involved in the biogenesis of membrane polarity. By contrast, direct apical transport originating from the trans-Golgi network (TGN), which may contribute to polarity establishment, has been poorly defined in these cells. Thus, although newly synthesized sphingolipids can be directly transported from the TGN to the apical membrane, numerous apical resident proteins are traveling via the transcytotic route. Here, we developed an in vitro transport assay and compared the molecular sorting of 6-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3 diazol-4-yl)amino] hexanoyl-sphingomyelin (C(6)NBD-SM) and C(6)NBD-glucosylceramide (C(6)NBD-GlcCer) in TGN and SAC. SM is released from both TGN and SAC in the lumenal leaflet of transport vesicles. This holds also for GlcCer released from the SAC but not for a substantial fraction that departed from the Golgi. Distinct transport vesicles, enriched in either SM or GlcCer are released from SAC, consistent with their rigid sorting in this compartment. Different vesicle populations could not be recovered from TGN, although in situ experiments reveal that GlcCer is preferentially transported to the apical membrane, reflecting different transport mechanisms. The results indicate that in HepG2 cells sphingolipids are mainly sorted in the SAC membrane and that the release of SM from SAC and TGN is differentially regulated.

Abstract
Movement of proteins and lipids between the various compartments of eukaryotic cells is fundamental to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and an understanding of the molecular mechanisms that govern these processes remains a key goal of cell biological research. This aim has been greatly facilitated by the development of assays that recapitulate specific events in vitro. In the following article we provide an overview of some of the currently used assays that measure the movement of proteins within the exocytic and endocytic pathways, and provide a starting point for those wishing to establish their own systems to study other vesicular transport steps.

Abstract
The small GTP-binding protein ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1) is an essential component of the molecular machinery that catalyzes the formation of membrane-bound transport intermediates. By using an in vitro assay that reproduces recruitment of cytosolic proteins onto purified, high salt-washed Golgi membranes, we have analyzed the role of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) on ARF1 incorporation. Addition to this assay of either pure catalytic subunits of PKA (C-PKA) or cAMP increased ARF1 binding. By contrast, ARF1 association was inhibited following C-PKA inactivation with either PKA inhibitory peptide or RIIalpha as well as after cytosol depletion of C-PKA. C-PKA also stimulated recruitment and activation of a recombinant form of human ARF1 in the absence of additional cytosolic components. The binding step could be dissociated from the activation reaction and found to be independent of guanine nucleotides and saturable. This step was stimulated by C-PKA in an ATP-dependent manner. Dephosphorylated Golgi membranes exhibited a decreased ability to recruit ARF1, and this effect was reverted by addition of C-PKA. Following an increase in the intracellular level of cAMP, ARF proteins redistributed from cytosol to the perinuclear Golgi region of intact cells. Collectively, the results show that PKA exerts a key regulatory role in the recruitment of ARF1 onto Golgi membranes. In contrast, PKA modulators did not affect recruitment of beta-COP onto Golgi membranes containing prebound ARF1.

Abstract
We describe an in vitro system in which post-Golgi vesicles containing metabolically labeled, sialylated, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein molecules (VSV-G) are produced from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) of an isolated Golgi membrane fraction. This fraction is prepared from VSV-infected Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells in which the (35)S-labeled viral envelope glycoprotein was allowed to accumulate in the trans-Golgi network during a prolonged incubation at 20 degrees C. The vesicles produced in this system are separated from the remnant Golgi membranes by differential centrifugation or by velocity sedimentation in a sucrose gradient. Vesicle production, quantified as the percentage of labeled VSV-G released from the Golgi membranes, is optimal at 37 degrees C and does not occur below 20 degrees C. It requires GTP and the small GTP-binding protein Arf (ADP-ribosylation factor), as well as coat protein type I (COPI) coat components (coatomer) and vesicle scission factors-one of which corresponds to the phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP). Formation of the vesicles does not require GTP hydrolysis which, however, is necessary for their uncoating. Thus, vesicles generated in the presence of the nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs, GTPgammaS or GMP-PNP, retain a coatomer coat visible in the electron microscope, sediment more rapidly in sucrose density gradients than those generated with ATP or GTP, and can be captured with anticoatomerantibodies. The process of coatomer-coated vesicle formation from the TGN can be dissected into two distinct sequential phases, corresponding to coat assembly/bud formation and vesicle scission. The first phase is completed when Golgi fractions are incubated with cytosolic proteins and nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs at 20 degrees C. The scission phase, which leads to vesicle release, takes place when coated Golgi membranes, recovered after phase I, are incubated at higher temperatures in the presence of cytosolic proteins. The scission phase does not take place if protein kinase C inhibitors are added during the first phase, even though these inhibitors do not prevent membrane coating and bud formation. The phosphorylating activity of a protein kinase C, however, plays no role in vesicle formation, since this process does not require ATP.

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

Abstract
Colonic epithelial HT29-cl19A cells are polarized and secrete proteins among which alpha(1)-antitrypsin represents about 95%. Secretion occurs via a constitutive pathway, so that the rates of secretion directly reflect the rates of protein transit. In this paper we have demonstrated that: 1) in resting cells phospholipase D (PLD) is implicated in the control of apical protein transit; 2) phorbol esters stimulate apical protein transit (stimulation factor 2.2), which is correlated with a PLD-catalyzed production of phosphatidic acid (PA) (2.45-fold increase); 3) the stimulation of cholinergic receptors by carbachol results in an increase (stimulation factor 1.45) of apical protein transit which is independent of protein kinase C and PLD activities, but related to PA formation (1.7-fold increase) via phospholipase(s) C and diacylglycerol kinase activation; 4) an elevation of the cAMP level enhances apical protein transit by a PA-independent mechanism; 5) a trans-Golgi network or post-trans-Golgi network step of the transit is the target for the regulatory events. In conclusion, we have shown that PA can be produced by two independent signaling pathways; whatever the pathway followed, a close relationship between the amount of PA and the level of secretion was observed.

Abstract
Previous studies indicate that a zinc- and phorbol ester-binding factor is necessary for in vitro endosome fusion and for the effect of Rab5 on endosome fusion. Rab5 is a small GTPase that regulates membrane fusion between early endosomes derived from either receptor-mediated endocytosis or fluid-phase endocytosis. In its GTP-bound form, Rab5 promotes endocytosis and enhances fusion among early endosomes. To determine if PMA stimulates endocytosis by activating a factor required for endosome fusion, we overexpressed wild-type Rab5, a dominant negative mutant (Rab5:S34N), and a GTPase deficient mutant (Rab5:Q79L) in BHK-21 cells. The phorbol ester PMA stimulates endocytosis and increases the number and the size of endocytic vesicles, even in the presence of Rab5:S34N. Zinc depletion with N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN) and addition of calphostin C (CPC), an inhibitor of PKC that interacts with zinc and phorbol ester binding motifs, inhibited both basal and Rab5-stimulated fluid phase endocytosis. These two reagents also inhibited the size and number of endocytic vesicles promoted by Rab5. These results suggest that PMA stimulates endocytosis by regulating the dynamics of the early endosome compartment.

Abstract
Over the past two years, the use of in vitro systems and the identification of autoantibodies to Golgi proteins have provided important new tools for analyzing vesicle and cargo trafficking in the distal secretory pathway. In addition, the phenotypic characterization of mice with knockouts of various prohormone convertases has led to significant progress in understanding the biological relevance of prohormone processing in post-Golgi compartments.

Abstract
Protein secretion through the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi vesicular trafficking system is initiated by the binding of ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) to donor membranes, leading to recruitment of coatomer, bud formation, and eventual vesicle release. ARFs are approximately 20-kDa GTPases that are active with bound GTP and inactive with GDP bound. Conversion of ARF-GDP to ARF-GTP is regulated by guanine nucleotide-exchange proteins. All known ARF guanine nucleotide-exchange proteins contain a Sec7 domain of approximately 200 amino acids that includes the active site and fall into two classes that differ in molecular size and susceptibility to inhibition by the fungal metabolite brefeldin A (BFA). To determine the structural basis of BFA sensitivity, chimeric molecules were constructed by using sequences from the Sec7 domains of BFA-sensitive yeast Sec7 protein (ySec7d) and the insensitive human cytohesin-1 (C-1Sec7). Based on BFA inhibition of the activities of these molecules with recombinant yeast ARF2 as substrate, the Asp965-Met975 sequence in ySec7d was shown to be responsible for BFA sensitivity. A C-1Sec7 mutant in which Ser199, Asn204, and Pro209 were replaced with the corresponding ySec7d amino acids, Asp965, Gln970, and Met975, exhibited BFA sensitivity similar to that of recombinant ySec7d (rySec7d). Single replacement in C-1Sec7 of Ser199 or Pro209 resulted in partial inhibition by BFA, whereas replacement of Gln970 in ySec7d with Asn (as found in C-1Sec7) had no effect. As predicted, the double C-1Sec7 mutant with S199D and P209M was BFA-sensitive, demonstrating that Asp965 and Met975 in ySec7d are major molecular determinants of BFA sensitivity.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine kinase Pyk2 is activated by a variety of G-protein-coupled receptors and by extracellular signals that elevate intracellular Ca2+ concentration. We have identified a new Pyk2 binding protein designated Pap. Pap is a multidomain protein composed of an N-terminal alpha-helical region with a coiled-coil motif, followed by a pleckstrin homology domain, an Arf-GAP domain, an ankyrin homology region, a proline-rich region, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. We demonstrate that Pap forms a stable complex with Pyk2 and that activation of Pyk2 leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of Pap in living cells. Immunofluorescence experiments demonstrate that Pap is localized in the Golgi apparatus and at the plasma membrane, where it is colocalized with Pyk2. In addition, in vitro recombinant Pap exhibits strong GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity towards the small GTPases Arf1 and Arf5 and weak activity towards Arf6. Addition of recombinant Pap protein to Golgi preparations prevented Arf-dependent generation of post-Golgi vesicles in vitro. Moreover, overexpression of Pap in cultured cells reduced the constitutive secretion of a marker protein. We propose that Pap functions as a GAP for Arf and that Pyk2 may be involved in regulation of vesicular transport through its interaction with Pap.

Abstract
Members of the ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) family of small guanosine triphosphate-binding proteins play an essential role in membrane trafficking which subserves constitutive protein transport along exocytic and endocytic pathways within eukaryotic cell bodies. In growing neurons, membrane trafficking within motile growth cones distant from the cell body underlies the rapid plasmalemmal expansion which subserves axon elongation. We report here that ARF is a constituent of axonal growth cones, and that application of brefeldin A to neurons in culture produces a rapid arrest of axon extension that can be ascribed to inhibition of ARF function in growth cones. Our findings demonstrate a role for ARF in growth cones that is coupled tightly to the rapid growth of neuronal processes characteristic of developmental and regenerative axon elongation, and indicate that ARF participates not only in constitutive membrane traffic within the cell body, but also in membrane dynamics within growing axon endings.

Abstract
Previous observations indicate that a zinc and phorbol ester binding factor is necessary for endosome fusion. To further characterize the role of this factor in the process, we used an in vitro endosome fusion assay supplemented with recombinant Rab5 proteins. Both zinc depletion and addition of calphostin C, an inhibitor of protein kinase C, inhibited endosome fusion in the presence of active Rab5. Addition of the phorbol ester PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) reversed the inhibition of endosome fusion caused by a Rab5 negative mutant. Moreover, PMA stimulated fusion in the presence of Rab5 immunodepleted cytosol. These results suggest that the phorbol ester binding protein is acting downstream of Rab5 in endosome fusion.

Abstract
To investigate the mechanism of secretory granule biogenesis in endocrine cells, our laboratory used rat anterior pituitary GH3 cells which secrete growth hormone and prolactin. Here we describe a simple and rapid procedure for generating permeabilized cells to dissect molecular mechanisms involved in nascent secretory vesicle budding from the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Using this system, we demonstrate that vesicle budding is temperature, energy, and cytosol dependent; in addition, cytosol from a variety of cells, including yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), can support vesicle release. The budding of nascent secretory vesicles from the TGN is stimulated by a phospholipase D activity that is associated with Golgi membranes. Our results suggest that phospholipid metabolism plays an important role in the release of nascent secretory vesicles from the TGN.

Abstract
We identified the phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP) as being responsible for a powerful latent, nucleotide-independent, Golgi-vesiculating activity that is present in the cytosol but is only manifested as an uncontrolled activity in a cytosolic protein subfraction, in which it is separated from regulatory components that appear to normally limit its action to the scission of COPI-coated buds from trans-Golgi network membranes. A specific anti-PITP antibody that recognizes the two mammalian PITP isoforms fully inhibited the capacity of the cytosol to support normal vesicle generation as well as the uncontrolled vesiculating activity manifested by the cytosolic protein subfraction. The phosphatidylinositol- (PI) loaded form of the yeast PITP, Sec14p, but not the phosphatidylcholine- (PC) loaded form of the protein, was capable of substituting for the cytosolic subfraction in promoting the scission of coated buds from the trans-Golgi network. At higher concentration, however, Sec14p, when loaded with PI, but not with PC or phosphatidylglycerol, caused by itself an indiscriminate vesiculation of uncoated Golgi membranes that could be suppressed by PC-Sec14p, which also suppresses the uncontrolled vesiculation caused by the cytosolic subfraction. We propose that, by delivering PI to specific sites in the Golgi membrane near the necks of coated buds, PITP induces local changes in the organization of the lipid bilayer, possibly involving PI metabolites, that triggers the fusion of the ectoplasmic faces of the Golgi membrane necessary for the scission of COPI-coated vesicles.

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

Abstract
Microinjected GTP gamma S revealed three distinct steps in the exocytic transport of the temperature sensitive glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (ts-O45-G) from the ER to the cell surface in intact Vero cells. While COPII dependent export of ts-O45-G from the ER is blocked in cells injected with recombinant protein of a dominant mutant of SAR1a (SAR1a[H79G]) inhibited in GTP hydrolysis, neither injected GTP gamma S nor antibodies against beta-COP (anti-EAGE) interfere with this transport step significantly. In contrast, transport to the Golgi complex is blocked by 50 microM GTP gamma S, a dominant mutant of ARF1 (ARF1[Q71L]) inhibited in GTP hydrolysis, or microinjected anti-EAGE, but injected Sar1a[H79G]p has no effect. Microinjection of GTP gamma S or expression of ARF[Q71L] rapidly induces accumulation of COPI coated vesicular structures lacking ts-O45-G. Finally, transport of ts-O45-G from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the cell surface is inhibited only by high concentrations of GTP gamma S (500 microM). Interestingly, this step is only partially brefeldin A sensitive, and injected antibodies against beta-COP and p200/myosin II, a TGN membrane associated protein, have no effect. These data provide first strong in vivo evidence for at least three distinct steps in the exocytic pathway of mammalian cells regulated by different sets of GTPases and coat proteins. COPII, but not COPI, is required for ER export of ts-O45-G. COPI plays a role in subsequent transport to the Golgi complex, and a so far unidentified GTP gamma S sensitive coat appears to be involved in transport from the TGN to the cell surface.

Abstract
We have cloned and sequenced a cDNA encoding GTP-binding protein from a fish cell, CHSE-214. The clone was 1493 bp long and contained an open reading frame encoding 364 amino acids. It has the five sequence motifs G1-G5 that are conserved in all GTP-binding proteins. Its amino acid sequences are strikingly different from those of the well-characterized G-proteins. However, sequences closely related to this protein are found in various kinds of species including human, Arabidopsis, Drosophila and archaebacteria, suggesting a novel subfamily within the superfamily of the GTP-binding proteins. Northern analysis indicates that this gene is constitutively expressed at a low level in normal cells but is induced by fish rhabdovirus infection at about 24 h post infection and disappears thereafter. Based on these observations, we propose that this protein represents an evolutionarily conserved novel subfamily of GTP-binding proteins which may play an important role in fish rhabdovirus infection.

Abstract
Intact cells incubated with calphostin C, an inhibitor of the regulatory domain of protein kinase C, showed fragmentation and dispersal of the Golgi complex by a light-dependent mechanism. At the ultrastructural level Golgi stacks were replaced by clusters of vesicles and short tubules that resembled the Golgi remnants present in control mitotic cells. Vesicle-mediated transport processes along both the exocytic and endocytic routes were also inhibited by calphostin C treatment. Golgi disassembly, however, was not due to protein kinase C inhibition since several inhibitors of the catalytic domain did not cause a similar effect. In contrast, pretreatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate partly protected the Golgi complex from disassembly by calphostin C. The in vitro effect was shown to be reversible, required both cytosol and ATP and it was inhibited by pretreatment of the Golgi membranes with trypsin but not with high salt. These results suggest the interaction of calphostin C with a structural Golgi protein containing a phorbol ester-binding domain and necessary for the stability of this organelle during interphase.

Abstract
Association of the Golgi-specific adaptor protein complex 1 (AP-1) with the membrane is a prerequisite for clathrin coat assembly on the trans-Golgi network (TGN). The AP-1 adaptor is efficiently recruited from cytosol onto the TGN by myristoylated ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1) in the presence of the poorly hydrolyzable GTP analog guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS). Substituting GTP for GTPgammaS, however, results in only poor AP-1 binding. Here we show that both AP-1 and clathrin can be recruited efficiently onto the TGN in the presence of GTP when cytosol is supplemented with ARF1. Optimal recruitment occurs at 4 microM ARF1 and with 1 mM GTP. The AP-1 recruited by ARF1.GTP is released from the Golgi membrane by treatment with 1 M Tris-HCl (pH 7) or upon reincubation at 37 degreesC, whereas AP-1 recruited with GTPgammaS or by a constitutively active point mutant, ARF1(Q71L), remains membrane bound after either treatment. An incubation performed with added ARF1, GTP, and AlFn, used to block ARF GTPase-activating protein activity, results in membrane-associated AP-1, which is largely insensitive to Tris extraction. Thus, ARF1. GTP hydrolysis results in lower-affinity binding of AP-1 to the TGN. Using two-stage assays in which ARF1.GTP first primes the Golgi membrane at 37 degreesC, followed by AP-1 binding on ice, we find that the high-affinity nucleating sites generated in the priming stage are rapidly lost. In addition, the AP-1 bound to primed Golgi membranes during a second-stage incubation on ice is fully sensitive to Tris extraction, indicating that the priming stage has passed the ARF1.GTP hydrolysis point. Thus, hydrolysis of ARF1.GTP at the priming sites can occur even before AP-1 binding. Our finding that purified clathrin-coated vesicles contain little ARF1 supports the concept that ARF1 functions in the coat assembly process rather than during the vesicle-uncoating step. We conclude that ARF1 is a limiting factor in the GTP-stimulated recruitment of AP-1 in vitro and that it appears to function in a stoichiometric manner to generate high-affinity AP-1 binding sites that have a relatively short half-life.

Abstract
A variety of signalling molecules has been implicated over the past 8 years in the regulation of intracellular transport pathways. Those molecules include heterotrimeric GTP binding proteins, members of the protein kinase C family, and members of the Rho subfamily of small GTPases. Until recently, no common theme among the three classes of regulators was apparent. The finding that all three can influence the activity of phospholipase D (PLD), and the fact that members of the Arf subfamily of GTPases (with established roles in intracellular transport) are potent activators of PLD suggests the hypothesis that PLD is a focal point for integration of cellular responses to hormone signalling and for membrane homeostasis. Work during the past 2 years is beginning to uncover some transport pathways where PLD involvement is inferred. It is proposed that, if signalling is required to monitor and adjust transport rates to and from the various membrane organelles, the most economical way to achieve this would be to regulate recycling and allow the concentration of cargo receptors to determine forward transport.

Abstract
Transport from the TGN to the basolateral surface involves a rab/N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF)/soluble NSF attachment protein (SNAP)/SNAP receptor (SNARE) mechanism. Apical transport instead is thought to be mediated by detergent-insoluble sphingolipid-cholesterol rafts. By reducing the cholesterol level of living cells by 60-70% with lovastatin and methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, we show that the TGN-to-surface transport of the apical marker protein influenza virus hemagglutinin was slowed down, whereas the transport of the basolateral marker vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein as well as the ER-to-Golgi transport of both membrane proteins was not affected. Reduction of transport of hemagglutinin was accompanied by increased solubility in the detergent Triton X-100 and by significant missorting of hemagglutinin to the basolateral membrane. In addition, depletion of cellular cholesterol by lovastatin and methyl-beta-cyclodextrin led to missorting of the apical secretory glycoprotein gp-80, suggesting that gp-80 uses a raft-dependent mechanism for apical sorting. Our data provide for the first time direct evidence for the functional significance of cholesterol in the sorting of apical membrane proteins as well as of apically secreted glycoproteins.

Abstract
Using a cytosol and nucleotide dependent assay that we previously developed, we have investigated the requirement for coat proteins in the in vitro production of trans-Golgi network (TGN)-derived vesicles from a Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell Golgi fraction that contains the 35S-labeled, terminally glycosylated, envelope glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-G) accumulated in the TGN. We found that the TGN-derived vesicles, like those involved in intra-Golgi transport and in retrograde transport to the endoplasmic reticulum, contain a coatomer coat and that coatomer is required for their formation. Thus, after they are produced with GTPgammaS, the coated vesicles could be captured on beads containing anticoatomer antibody. Moreover, a cytosolic protein fraction depleted of coatomer could not support vesicle formation but it did so after purified coatomer was added. We also determined that P200/myosin II does not play an essential role in the in vitro generation of TGN-derived vesicles. Thus, removal of this protein from the cytosol, by differential salt precipitation or binding to phalloidin-induced actin filaments, had no effect on vesicle generation. Nevertheless, immunodepletion of cytosol using the anti-P200/myosin II AD7 antibody abolished vesicle generation and that antibody was capable of effectively immunocapturing coated vesicles, even when these were generated in the absence of P200/myosin II. These effects, however, are explained by the unexpected finding that the AD7 antibody interacts with undenatured coatomer.

Abstract
Reduced levels of protein kinase C alpha (PKC alpha) seems to be related to an altered amyloid precursor protein (APP) secretion in fibroblasts from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. In this report we used a specific inhibitor of PKC alpha (Gö-6976), to investigate the role of PKC alpha in the basal and phorbol esters regulated secretion of soluble APP (sAPP) in human fibroblasts derived from healthy aged volunteers. Treatment with Gö-6976 alone reduced basal secretion by a maximum of 39%, compared to untreated cells, suggesting the partial dependence of constitutive APP secretory pathway on PKC alpha enzyme. Moreover Gö-6976 treatment completely abolished the effect of phorbol-esters mediated PKC stimulation on sAPP release, suggesting that PKC alpha is the only PKC isoform involved in controlling the secretion of sAPP in human fibroblasts.

Abstract
We have examined the role played by protein kinase A (PKA) in vesicle-mediated protein transport from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the cell surface. In vivo this transport step was inhibited by inhibitors of PKA catalytic subunits (C-PKA) such as the compound known as H89 and a myristoylated form of the inhibitory peptide sequence contained in the thermostable PKA inhibitor. Inhibition by H89 occurred at an early stage during the transfer of vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein from the TGN to the cell surface. Reversal from this inhibition correlated with a transient increase in the number of free coated vesicles in the Golgi area. Vesicle budding from the TGN was studied in vitro using vesicular stomatitis virus-infected, permeabilized cells. Addition to this assay of C-PKA stimulated vesicle release while it was suppressed by PKA inhibitory peptide, H89, and antibody against C-PKA. Furthermore, vesicle release was decreased when PKA-depleted cytosol was used and restored by addition of C-PKA. These results indicate a regulatory role for PKA activity in the production of constitutive transport vesicles from the TGN.

Abstract
Distinct subcellular localization of activated protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes is mediated by their binding to isozyme-specific RACKs (receptors for activated C-kinase). Our laboratory has previously isolated one such protein, RACK1, and demonstrated that this protein displays specificity for PKCbeta. We have recently shown that at least part of the PKCepsilon RACK-binding site on PKCepsilon lies within the unique V1 region of this isozyme (Johnson, J. A., Gray, M. O., Chen, C.-H., and Mochly-Rosen, D. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 24962-24966). Here, we have used the PKCepsilon V1 region to clone a PKCepsilon-selective RACK, which was identified as the COPI coatomer protein, beta'-COP. Similar to RACK1, beta'-COP contains seven repeats of the WD40 motif and fulfills the criteria previously established for RACKs. Activated PKCepsilon colocalizes with beta'-COP in cardiac myocytes and binds to Golgi membranes in a beta'-COP-dependent manner. A role for PKC in control of secretion has been previously suggested, but this is the first report of direct protein/protein interaction of PKCepsilon with a protein involved in vesicular trafficking.

Abstract
An inhibitory effect of several zinc chelators on endosome fusion reconstituted in an in vitro system has been recently reported (A. Aballay et al., 1995, Biochem. J. 312, 919-923). The factor that requires zinc for its activity is still unknown. Since the regulatory domain of protein kinase C (PKC) contains cysteine-rich motifs which coordinate zinc, we suspected that PKC or a PKC-like protein might be that factor. To test this hypothesis, we studied the effect of calphostin C, a specific inhibitor of PKC that interacts with the cysteine-rich motif, and PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate), an activator of several PKC isoforms that bind to the same region, on endosome fusion. Calphostin C inhibited endosome fusion in a zinc-regulated manner, whereas PMA enhanced endosome fusion. Moreover, fusion was strongly stimulated when both PMA and zinc were added together to zinc-depleted fusion reactions. Inhibitors of the catalytic domain of PKC had no effect on the assay suggesting that the kinase activity is not required. In contrast, a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein containing a cysteine-rich region of the regulatory domain of PKCgamma inhibited endosome fusion in a PMA-dependent manner. Western blot analysis demonstrated the presence of proteins containing PKC-like cysteine-rich regions that are released from endosomal fractions by zinc chelators. These results indicate that the previously proposed zinc-dependent factor required for endosome fusion could be either a PKC isoform or a protein containing the phorbol ester-binding domain of PKC.

Abstract
Carrier vesicle generation from donor membranes typically progresses through a GTP-dependent recruitment of coats to membranes. Here we explore the role of ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) 1, one of the GTP-binding proteins that recruit coats, in the production of neuroendocrine synaptic vesicles (SVs) from PC12 cell membranes. Brefeldin A (BFA) strongly and reversibly inhibited SV formation in vivo in three different PC12 cell lines expressing vesicle-associated membrane protein-T Antigen derivatives. Other membrane traffic events remained unaffected by the drug, and the BFA effects were not mimicked by drugs known to interfere with formation of other classes of vesicles. The involvement of ARF proteins in the budding of SVs was addressed in a cell-free reconstitution system (Desnos, C., L. Clift-O'Grady, and R.B. Kelly. 1995. J. Cell Biol. 130:1041-1049). A peptide spanning the effector domain of human ARF1 (2-17) and recombinant ARF1 mutated in its GTPase activity, both inhibited the formation of SVs of the correct size. During in vitro incubation in the presence of the mutant ARFs, the labeled precursor membranes acquired different densities, suggesting that the two ARF mutations block at different biosynthetic steps. Cell-free SV formation in the presence of a high molecular weight, ARF-depleted fraction from brain cytosol was significantly enhanced by the addition of recombinant myristoylated native ARF1. Thus, the generation of SVs from PC12 cell membranes requires ARF and uses its GTPase activity, probably to regulate coating phenomena.

Abstract
Proteins synthesized on membrane-bound ribosomes are transported through the Golgi apparatus and, on reaching the trans-Golgi network, are sorted for delivery to various cellular destinations. Sorting involves the assembly of cytosol-oriented coat structures which preferentially package cargo into vesicular transport intermediates. Recent studies have shed new light on both the molecular machinery involved and the complexity of the sorting processes.

Abstract
The participation of nonmuscle myosins in the transport of organelles and vesicular carriers along actin filaments has been documented. In contrast, there is no evidence for the involvement of myosins in the production of vesicles involved in membrane traffic. Here we show that the putative TGN coat protein p200 (Narula, N., I. McMorrow, G. Plopper, J. Doherty, K.S. Matlin, B. Burke, and J.L. Stow. 1992. J. Cell Biol. 114: 1113-1124) is myosin II. The recruitment of myosin II to Golgi membranes is dependent on actin and is regulated by G proteins. Using an assay that studies the release of transport vesicles from the TGN in vitro, we provide functional evidence that p200/myosin is involved in the assembly of basolateral transport vesicles carrying vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSVG) from the TGN of polarized MDCK cells. The 50% reduced efficiency in VSVG vesicle release from the TGN in vitro after depletion of p200/myosin II could be reestablished to control levels by the addition of purified nonmuscle myosin II. Several inhibitors of the actin-stimulated ATPase activity of myosin specifically inhibited the release of VSVG-containing vesicles from the TGN.

Abstract
Several recent data indicate that protein traffic is under the control of different phosphorylation pathways. In previous works, we have shown that cell surface expression of apical hydrolases and of a basolateral protein, "525" antigen, was impaired in Caco-2 cells treated with forskolin, a potent PKA activator (L. Baricault et al., 1995, J. Cell Sci., 108, 2109-2121). Surprisingly, in these experiments forskolin did not seem to act through PKA activation. These cAMP-independent effects of FK may rely on cross-talk between intracellular phosphorylation pathways as described recently for PKA and PKC pathways. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that PKC activation may induce effects comparable to those of FK on three brush border hydrolases as well as on 525 antigen cell surface expression in Caco-2 cells. Using enzymatic activity measurements and pulse-chase experiments combined with cell surface biotinylation assays, we show that long-term treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) impairs the overall expression of neither brush border hydrolases nor that of the 525 antigen but decreases total cell surface expression of these proteins. The apical and basolateral delivery pathways are equally affected. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy we show that the DPP IV and the 525 antigen that were not recovered from the cell surface were sequestrated in Lamp-1-positive lysosomal-related vesicles. PMA stimulates PKC translocation even after a 3-week treatment and induces PKC epsilon redistribution to a vesicular- and membrane-associated compartment also labeled with cytokeratins. These results demonstrate that PMA-dependent PKC activation strongly impairs protein cell surface targeting. They also suggest that these PKC-dependent effects which are similar to those previously obtained with FK are relevant to the described cross-talk between PKA- and PKC-dependent phosphorylation pathways.

Abstract
Clathrin-coated vesicles were the first discovered and remain the most extensively characterized transport vesicles. They mediate endocytosis of transmembrane receptors and transport of newly synthesized lysosomal hydrolases from the trans-Golgi network to the lysosome. Cell-free assays for coat assembly, membrane binding, and coated vesicle budding have provided detailed functional and structural information about how the major coat constituents, clathrin and the adaptor protein complexes, interact with each other, with membranes, and with the sorting signals found on cargo molecules. Coat constituents not only serve to shape the budding vesicle, but also play a direct role in the packaging of cargo, suggesting that protein sorting and vesicle budding are functionally integrated. The functional interplay between the coated vesicle machinery and its cargo could ensure sorting fidelity and packaging efficiency and might enable modulation of vesicular trafficking in response to demand.

Abstract
Constitutive secretion of heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs) was stimulated in human hepatoma HepG2 cells by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and inhibited by calphostin C, a specific inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC). To delineate more closely the site of PKC action, the packaging in vitro of 35SO4-labelled HSPGs into transport vesicles was investigated. Formation of transport vesicles at the trans-Golgi network was stimulated by PMA and inhibited by calphostin C or Ro 31-8220 by using a post-nuclear supernatant. Treatment of either isolated Golgi-enriched membranes or cytosolic proteins with calphostin C provided evidence that membrane-bound PKC forms strongly supported vesicle formation, whereas cytosolic PKC forms showed a marginal effect. The PKC isoforms PKC-alpha and PKC-zeta were attached to highly purified Golgi membranes, as shown by Western blotting. Both isoforms were localized by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy in the Golgi area of HepG2 cells. Immunoelectron microscopy of ultrathin cryosections of HepG2 cells showed that PKC-zeta predominantly attaches to the trans-Golgi region, whereas PKC-alpha binds to the cis- and trans-Golgi area.

Abstract
We have recently described a system that recreates in vitro the generation of post-Golgi vesicles from purified Golgi fractions obtained from virus-infected MDCK cells in which the vesicular stomatitis virus-G envelope glycoprotein had been allowed to accumulate in vivo in the TGN. Vesicle formation, monitored by the release of the viral glycoprotein, was shown to require the activation of a GTP-binding ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) protein that promotes the assembly of a vesicle coat in the TGN, and to be regulated by a Golgi-associated protein kinase C (PKC)-like activity. We have now been able to dissect the process of post-Golgi vesicle generation into two sequential stages, one of coat assembly and bud formation, and another of vesicle scission, neither of which requires an ATP supply. The first stage can occur at 20 degrees C, and includes the GTP-dependent activation of the ARF protein, which can be effected by the nonhydrolyzable nucleotide analogue GTP gamma S, whereas the second stage is nucleotide independent and can only occur at a higher temperature of incubation. Cytosolic proteins are required for the vesicle scission step and they cannot be replaced by palmitoyl CoA, which is known to promote, by itself, scission of the coatomer-coated vesicles that mediate intra-Golgi transport. We have found that PKC inhibitors prevented vesicle generation, even when this was sustained by GTP gamma S and ATP levels reduced far below the K(m) of PKC. The inhibitors suppressed vesicle scission without preventing coat assembly, yet to exert their effect, they had to be added before coat assembly took place. This indicates that a target of the putative PKC is activated during the bud assembly stage of vesicle formation, but only acts during the phase of vesicle release. The behavior of the PKC target during vesicle formation resembles that of phospholipase D (PLD), a Golgi-associated enzyme that has been shown to be activated by PKC, even in the absence of the latter's phosphorylating activity. We therefore propose that during coat assembly, PKC activates a PLD that, during the incubation at 37 degrees C, promotes vesicle scission by remodeling the phospholipid bilayer and severing connections between the vesicles and the donor membrane.
