A Redundant Mechanism of Recruitment Underlies the Remarkable Plasticity of the Requirement of Poliovirus Replication for the Cellular ArfGEF GBF1. J Virol 2019; 93:JVI.00856-19.

Abstract
The replication of many positive-strand RNA viruses [(+)RNA viruses] depends on the cellular protein GBF1, but its role in the replication process is not clear. In uninfected cells, GBF1 activates small GTPases of the Arf family and coordinates multiple steps of membrane metabolism, including functioning of the cellular secretory pathway. The nonstructural protein 3A of poliovirus and related viruses has been shown to directly interact with GBF1, likely mediating its recruitment to the replication complexes. Surprisingly, viral mutants with a severely reduced level of 3A-GBF1 interaction demonstrate minimal replication defects in cell culture. Here, we systematically investigated the conserved elements of GBF1 to understand which determinants are important to support poliovirus replication. We demonstrate that multiple GBF1 mutants inactive in cellular metabolism could still be fully functional in the replication complexes. Our results show that the Arf-activating property, but not the primary structure of the Sec7 domain, is indispensable for viral replication. They also suggest a redundant mechanism of recruitment of GBF1 to the replication sites, which is dependent not only on direct interaction of the protein with the viral protein 3A but also on determinants located in the noncatalytic C-terminal domains of GBF1. Such a double-targeting mechanism explains the previous observations of the remarkable tolerance of different levels of GBF1-3A interaction by the virus and likely constitutes an important element of the resilience of viral replication.IMPORTANCE Enteroviruses are a vast group of viruses associated with diverse human diseases, but only two of them could be controlled with vaccines, and effective antiviral therapeutics are lacking. Here, we investigated in detail the contribution of a cellular protein, GBF1, in the replication of poliovirus, a representative enterovirus. GBF1 supports the functioning of cellular membrane metabolism and is recruited to viral replication complexes upon infection. Our results demonstrate that the virus requires a limited subset of the normal GBF1 functions and reveal the elements of GBF1 essential to support viral replication under different conditions. Since diverse viruses often rely on the same cellular proteins for replication, understanding the mechanisms by which these proteins support infection is essential for the development of broad-spectrum antiviral therapeutics.

Abstract
Polarized epithelial cells line diverse surfaces throughout the body forming selective barriers between the external environment and the internal milieu. To cross these epithelial barriers, large solutes and other cargoes must undergo transcytosis, an endocytic pathway unique to polarized cell types, and significant for the development of cell polarity, uptake of viral and bacterial pathogens, transepithelial signaling, and immunoglobulin transport. Here, we review recent advances in our knowledge of the transcytotic pathway for proteins and lipids. We also discuss briefly the promise of harnessing the molecules that undergo transcytosis as vehicles for clinical applications in drug delivery.

Abstract
Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domains bind phospholipids and proteins. They are critical regulatory elements of a number enzymes including guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) for Ras-superfamily guanine nucleotide binding proteins such as ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs). Recent studies have indicated that many PH domains may bind more than one ligand cooperatively. Here we discuss the molecular basis of PH domain-dependent allosteric behavior of 2 ADP-ribosylation factor exchange factors, Grp1 and Brag2, cooperative binding of ligands to the PH domains of Grp1 and the Arf GTPase-activating protein, ASAP1, and the consequences for activity of the associated catalytic domains.

Abstract
Tight control of actin cytoskeletal dynamics is essential for proper cell function and survival. Arf nucleotide binding-site opener (ARNO), a mammalian guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Arf, has been implicated in actin cytoskeletal regulation but its exact role is still unknown. To explore the role of ARNO in this regulation as well as in actin-mediated processes, the Dictyostelium discoideum homolog, SecG, was examined. SecG peaks during aggregation and mound formation. The overexpression of SecG arrests development at the mound stage. SecG overexpressing (SecG OE) cells fail to stream during aggregation. Although carA is expressed, SecG OE cells do not chemotax toward cAMP, indicating SecG is involved in the cellular response to cAMP. This chemotactic defect is specific to cAMP-directed chemotaxis, as SecG OE cells chemotax to folate without impairment and exhibit normal cell motility. The chemotactic defects of the SecG mutants may be due to an impaired cAMP response as evidenced by altered cell polarity and F-actin polymerization after cAMP stimulation. Cells overexpressing SecG have increased filopodia compared to wild type cells, implying that excess SecG causes abnormal organization of F-actin. The general function of the cytoskeleton, however, is not disrupted as the SecG OE cells exhibit proper cell-substrate adhesion. Taken together, the results suggest proper SecG levels are needed for appropriate response to cAMP signaling in order to coordinate F-actin organization during development.

Abstract
'Gyrating-' or 'G'-clathrin are coated endocytic structures located near peripheral sorting endosomes (SEs), which exhibit highly dynamic but localized movements when visualized by live-cell microscopy. They have been implicated in recycling of transferrin from the sorting endosome directly to the cell surface, but there is no information about their formation or regulation. We show here that G-clathrin comprise a minority of clathrin-coated structures in the cell periphery and are brefeldin A (BFA)-resistant. Arf6-GTP substantially increases G-clathrin levels, probably by lengthening coated bud lifetimes as suggested by photobleaching and photoactivation results, and an Arf6(Q67L)-GTP mutant bearing an internal GFP tag can be directly visualized in G-clathrin structures in live cells. Upon siRNA-mediated depletion of Arf6 or expression of Arf6(T27N), G-clathrin levels rise and are primarily Arf1-dependent, yet still BFA-resistant. However, BFA-sensitive increased G-clathrin levels are observed upon acute incubation with cytohesin inhibitor SecinH3, indicating a shift in GEF usage. Depletion of both Arf6 and Arf1 abolishes G-clathrin, and results in partial inhibition of fast transferrin recycling consistent with the latter's participation in this pathway. Collectively, these results demonstrate that the dynamics of G-clathrin primarily requires completion of the Arf6 guanine nucleotide cycle, but can be regulated by multiple Arf and GEF proteins, reflecting both overlapping mechanisms operative in their regulation and the complexity of processes involved in endosomal sorting.

Abstract
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is independent of actin dynamics in many circumstances but requires actin polymerization in others. We show that membrane tension determines the actin dependence of clathrin-coat assembly. As found previously, clathrin assembly supports formation of mature coated pits in the absence of actin polymerization on both dorsal and ventral surfaces of non-polarized mammalian cells, and also on basolateral surfaces of polarized cells. Actin engagement is necessary, however, to complete membrane deformation into a coated pit on apical surfaces of polarized cells and, more generally, on the surface of any cell in which the plasma membrane is under tension from osmotic swelling or mechanical stretching. We use these observations to alter actin dependence experimentally and show that resistance of the membrane to propagation of the clathrin lattice determines the distinction between 'actin dependent and 'actin independent'. We also find that light-chain-bound Hip1R mediates actin engagement. These data thus provide a unifying explanation for the role of actin dynamics in coated-pit budding.

Abstract
Proteins of the cytohesin/Arno/Grp1 family of Arf activators are positive regulators of the insulin-signaling pathway and control various remodeling events at the plasma membrane. Arno has a catalytic Sec7 domain, which promotes GDP to GTP exchange on Arf, followed by a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. Previous studies have revealed two functions of the PH domain: inhibition of the Sec7 domain and membrane targeting. Interestingly, the Arno PH domain interacts not only with a phosphoinositide (phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate or phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate) but also with an activating Arf family member, such as Arf6 or Arl4. Using the full-length membrane-bound forms of Arf1 and Arf6 instead of soluble forms, we show here that the membrane environment dramatically affects the mechanism of Arno activation. First, Arf6-GTP stimulates Arno at nanomolar concentrations on liposomes compared with micromolar concentrations in solution. Second, mutations in the PH domain that abolish interaction with Arf6-GTP render Arno completely inactive when exchange reactions are reconstituted on liposomes but have no effect on Arno activity in solution. Third, Arno is activated by its own product Arf1-GTP in addition to a distinct activating Arf isoform. Consequently, Arno activity is strongly modulated by competition with Arf effectors. These results show that Arno behaves as a bistable switch, having an absolute requirement for activation by an Arf protein but, once triggered, becoming highly active through the positive feedback effect of Arf1-GTP. This property of Arno might provide an explanation for its function in signaling pathways that, once triggered, must move forward decisively.

From cradle to twilight: the carboxyl terminus directs the fate of the A(2A)-adenosine receptor. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOMEMBRANES 2010; 1808:1350-7.

Abstract
The extended carboxyl terminus of the A(2A)-adenosine receptor is known to engage several proteins other than those canonically involved in signalling by GPCRs (i.e., G proteins, G protein-coupled receptor kinases/GRKs, arrestins). The list includes the deubiquinating enzyme USP4, α-actinin, the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for ARF6 ARNO, translin-X-associated protein, calmodulin, the neuronal calcium binding protein NECAB2 and the synapse associated protein SAP102. However, if the fate of the A(2A)-receptor is taken into account - from its birthplace in the endoplasmic reticulum to its presumed site of disposal in the lysosome, it is evident that many more proteins must interact with the A(2A)-adenosine receptor. There are several arguments that support the conjecture that these interactions will preferentially occur with the carboxyl terminus of the A(2A)-adeonsine receptor: (i) the extended carboxyl terminus (of 122 residues=) offers the required space to accommodate companions; (ii) analogies can be drawn with other receptors, which engage several of these binding partners with their C-termini. This approach allows for defining the nature of the unknown territory. As an example, we posit a chaperone/coat protein complex-II (COPII) exchange model that must occur on the carboxyl terminus of the receptor. This model accounts for the observation that a minimum size of the C-terminus is required for correct folding of the receptor. It also precludes premature recruitment of the COPII-coat to a partially folded receptor.

Abstract
Podocyte damage is the basis of many glomerular diseases with ultrastructural changes and decreased expression of components of the slit diaphragm such as nephrin and podocin. Under physiological conditions it is likely that the slit diaphragm underlies permanent renewal processes to indemnify its stability in response to changes in filtration pressure. This would require constant reorganization of the podocyte foot process and the renewal of slit diaphragm components. Thus far, the mechanisms underlying the turnover of slit diaphragm proteins are largely unknown. In this manuscript we examined a mechanism of nephrin endocytosis via CIN85/Ruk(L)-mediated ubiquitination. We can demonstrate that the loss of nephrin expression and onset of the proteinuria in CD2AP(-/-) mice correlates with an increased accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins and expression of CIN85/Ruk(L) in podocytes. In cultured murine podocytes CD2AP deficiency leads to an early ubiquitination of nephrin and podocin after stimulation with fibroblast growth factor-4. Binding assays with different CIN85/Ruk isoforms and mutants showed that nephrin and podocin are binding to the coiled-coil domain of CIN85/Ruk(L). We found that in the presence of CIN85/Ruk(L), which is involved in down-regulation of receptor-tyrosine kinases, nephrin is internalized after stimulation with fibroblast growth factor-4. Interestingly, coexpression of CIN85/Ruk(L) with CD2AP led to a decreased binding of CIN85/Ruk(L) to nephrin and podocin, which indicates a functional competition between CD2AP and CIN85/Ruk(L). Our results support a novel role for CIN85/Ruk(L) in slit diaphragm turnover and proteinuria.

Abstract
The ARF-GEF ARNO promotes motility by activating ARF6 and a subsequent downstream activation of Rac. ARNO is shown to associate with the Rac GEF Dock180 via its coiled-coil domain. Knockdown of scaffold proteins that bind ARNO disrupts the formation of this complex and disrupts ARF-to-Rac signaling. ARFs are small GTPases that regulate vesicular trafficking, cell shape, and movement. ARFs are subject to extensive regulation by a large number of accessory proteins. The many different accessory proteins are likely specialized to regulate ARF signaling during particular processes. ARNO/cytohesin 2 is an ARF-activating protein that promotes cell migration and cell shape changes. We report here that protein–protein interactions mediated by the coiled-coil domain of ARNO are required for ARNO induced motility. ARNO lacking the coiled-coil domain does not promote migration and does not induce ARF-dependent Rac activation. We find that the coiled-coil domain promotes the assembly of a multiprotein complex containing both ARNO and the Rac-activating protein Dock180. Knockdown of either GRASP/Tamalin or IPCEF, two proteins known to bind to the coiled-coil of ARNO, prevents the association of ARNO and Dock180 and prevents ARNO-induced Rac activation. These data suggest that scaffold proteins can regulate ARF dependent processes by biasing ARF signaling toward particular outputs.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (Arf1) plays a critical role in regulating secretory traffic and membrane transport within the Golgi of eukaryotic cells. Arf1 is activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (ArfGEFs) which confer spatial and temporal specificity to vesicular transport. We describe here the discovery and characterization of Golgicide A (GCA), a potent, highly specific, and reversible inhibitor of the cis-Golgi ArfGEF, GBF1. Inhibition of GBF1 function resulted in rapid dissociation of COPI vesicle coat from Golgi membranes and subsequent disassembly of the Golgi and trans-Golgi network (TGN). Secretion of soluble and membrane-associated proteins was arrested at the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment, whereas endocytosis and recycling of transferrin was unaffected by GBF1 inhibition. Internalized shiga toxin was arrested within the endocytic compartment and was unable to reach the dispersed TGN. Collectively, these results highlight the central role for GBF1 in coordinating bidirectional transport and maintaining structural integrity of the Golgi.

Abstract
During development, neuronal processes extend, branch and navigate to ultimately synapse with target tissue. We have shown a regulatory role for ARNO and ARF6 in dendritic branching and axonal elongation and branching during neuritogenesis, particularly with respect to cytoskeletal dynamics. Here, we have examined the role of ARF6 and the ARF GEF ARNO in endosomal dynamics during neurite elongation in hippocampal neurons. Axonal and dendritic endosomes were labeled by expression of the endosomal marker, endotubin. Expression of endotubin-green fluorescent protein resulted in targeting to tubular-vesicular structures throughout the somatodendritic and axonal domains. These endosomal structures did not colocalize with conventional early or late endosomal markers or with the synaptic vesicle marker, SV2. However, they did label with internalized lectin, indicating that they are endosomal structures. Expression of catalytically inactive ARNO (ARNO-E156K) or inactive ARF6 (ARF6-T27N) caused a redistribution of endotubin to the cell surface of the axons and dendrites. In contrast, expression of these constructs had no effect upon the distribution of SV2-positive structures. Furthermore, expression of inactive ARF1 (ARF1-T31N) did not change endotubin distribution. These results suggest that endotubin labels a distinct endosomal structure in neurons and that ARNO and ARF6 mediate neurite extension through the regulation of this compartment.

Abstract
Cytohesins are guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEF) for the Arf family of GTPases. One member of the Arf family, ARF6, plays an active role in the intracellular trafficking of G protein-coupled receptors. We have previously reported that Galphaq signaling leads to the activation of ARF6, possibly through a direct interaction with cytohesin-2/ARNO. Here, we report that Galphaq can directly interact with cytohesin-1, another Arf-GEF of the ARNO/cytohesin family. Cytohesin-1 preferentially associated with a constitutively active mutant of Galphaq (Galphaq-Q209L) compared to wild-type Galphaq in HEK293 cells. Stimulation of TPbeta, a Galphaq-coupled receptor, to activate Galphaq resulted in the promotion of a protein complex between Galphaq and cytohesin-1. Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that wild-type Galphaq and cytohesin-1 co-localized in intracellular compartments and at or near the plasma membrane. In contrast, expression of Galphaq-Q209L induced a drastic increase in the localization of cytohesin-1 at the plasma membrane. Expression of a dominant-negative mutant of cytohesin-1 reduced by 40% the agonist-induced internalization of TPbeta, a process that we previously demonstrated to be dependent on Galphaq-mediated signaling and Arf6 activation. Using deletion mutants, we show that cytohesin-1 interacts with Galphaq through its N-terminal coiled-coil domain. Cytohesin-1 and cytohesin-2/ARNO mutants lacking the coiled-coil domain were unable to relay Galphaq-mediated activation of Arf6. This is the first report of an interaction between the coiled-coil domain of the cytohesin/ARNO family of Arf-GEFs and a member of the heterotrimeric G proteins.

Abstract
Polarization is a critical mechanism for the proper functioning of many cell types. For lymphocytes, it is essential in a variety of processes, including migration from the blood to other tissue sites and vice versa. In NK cells and CTLs, the cytotoxic granule delivery mechanism requires polarization for granule movement to the immunological synapse (IS), in killing tumor and virus-infected cells. Recently, it has become apparent that endosomes are also involved in the cytotoxic mechanism. Using an in vitro conjugation approach, we show that in NK-92 cells, endosomal Sorting Nexin 27 (SNX27) polarizes to the IS during tumor cell engagement in a distinct compartment adjacent to the cytotoxic granules. We also show that SNX27 polarizes to the apical membrane, opposite the uropod, during NK cell migration. These previously unreported results indicate that SNX27 is a participant in NK cell polarization, as a mediator or target of the mechanism.

Abstract
CASP is a small cytokine-inducible protein, primarily expressed in hematopoetic cells, which associates with members of the Cytohesin/ARNO family of guanine nucleotide-exchange factors. Cytohesins activate ARFs, a group of GTPases involved in vesicular initiation. Functionally, CASP is an adaptor protein containing a PDZ domain, a coiled-coil, and a potential carboxy terminal PDZ-binding motif that we sought to characterize here. Using GST pulldowns and mass spectrometry we identified the novel interaction of CASP and sorting nexin 27 (SNX27). In lymphocytes, CASP's PDZ-binding motif interacts with the PDZ domain of SNX27. This protein is a unique member of the sorting nexin family of proteins, a group generally involved in the endocytic and intracellular sorting machinery. Endogenous SNX27 and CASP co-localize at the early endosomal compartment in lymphocytes and also in transfection studies. These results suggest that endosomal SNX27 may recruit CASP to orchestrate intracellular trafficking and/or signaling complexes.

Abstract
ARNO is a soluble guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the Arf family of GTPases. Although in biochemical assays ARNO prefers Arf1 over Arf6 as a substrate, its localization in cells at the plasma membrane (PM) suggests an interaction with Arf6. In this study, we found that ARNO activated Arf1 in HeLa and COS-7 cells resulting in the recruitment of Arf1 on to dynamic PM ruffles. By contrast, Arf6 was activated less by ARNO than EFA6, a canonical Arf6 GEF. Remarkably, Arf6 in its GTP-bound form recruited ARNO to the PM and the two proteins could be immunoprecipitated. ARNO binding to Arf6 was not mediated through the catalytic Sec7 domain, but via the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. Active Arf6 also bound the PH domain of Grp1, another ARNO family member. This interaction was direct and required both inositol phospholipids and GTP. We propose a model of sequential Arf activation at the PM whereby Arf6-GTP recruits ARNO family GEFs for further activation of other Arf isoforms.

Abstract
The small-GTPase family of ADP ribosylation factors (ARFs) recruit coat proteins to promote vesicle budding. ARFs are activated by an association with sec7-containing exchange factors which load them with GTP. In epithelial cells, the small GTPase ARF6 operates within the endocytic system and has been shown to associate with ARNO to promote apical endocytosis and early to late endosomal trafficking. EFA6 has been shown to stimulate tight-junction formation and maintenance. Here, we show that in polarized epithelial MDCK cells, EFA6 is localized to early endosomes, causes their dramatic enlargement, and promotes basolateral targeting of IgA, which is normally targeted to the apical PM. These results suggest that the physiological function of ARF6 within the endocytic system is regulated by the exchange factor it associates with.
