Abstract
A subpopulation of the alpha-1-antitrypsin misfolding Z mutant (ATZ) is cleared from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via an ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) pathway. Here, we report that the COPII subunit SEC24C and the p24-family of proteins facilitate the clearance of ATZ via ERLAD. In addition to the previously reported ERLAD components calnexin and FAM134B, we discovered that ATZ coimmunoprecipitates with the p24-family members TMP21 and TMED9. This contrasts with wild type alpha1-antitrypsin, which did not coimmunoprecipitate with FAM134B, calnexin or the p24-family members. Live-cell imaging revealed that ATZ and the p24-family members traffic together from the ER to lysosomes. Using chemical inhibitors to block ER exit or autophagy, we demonstrated that p24-family members and ATZ co-accumulate at SEC24C marked ER-exit sites or in ER-derived compartments, respectively. Furthermore, depletion of SEC24C, TMP21, or TMED9 inhibited lysosomal trafficking of ATZ and resulted in the increase of intracellular ATZ levels. Conversely, overexpression of these p24-family members resulted in the reduction of ATZ levels. Intriguingly, the p24-family members coimmunoprecipitate with ATZ, FAM134B, and SEC24C. Thus, we propose a model in which the p24-family functions in an adaptor complex linking SEC24C with the ERLAD machinery for the clearance of ATZ.

MHC Class I Stability is Modulated by Cell Surface Sialylation in Human Dendritic Cells. Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:pharmaceutics12030249. [PMID: 32164343 PMCID: PMC7150992 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics12030249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2020] [Revised: 03/04/2020] [Accepted: 03/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Maturation of human Dendritic Cells (DCs) is characterized by increased expression of antigen presentation molecules, and overall decreased levels of sialic acid at cell surface. Here, we aimed to identify sialylated proteins at DC surface and comprehend their role and modulation. Mass spectrometry analysis of DC’s proteins, pulled down by a sialic acid binding lectin, identified molecules of the major human histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I), known as human leucocyte antigen (HLA). After desialylation, DCs showed significantly higher reactivity with antibodies specific for properly folded MHC-I-β2-microglobulin complex and for β2-microglobulin but showed significant lower reactivity with an antibody specific for free MHC-I heavy chain. Similar results for antibody reactivities were observed for TAP2-deficient lymphoblastoid T2 cells, which express HLA-A*02:01. Using fluorescent peptide specifically fitting the groove of HLA-A*02:01, instead of antibody staining, also showed higher peptide binding on desialylated cells, confirming higher surface expression of MHC-I complex. A decay assay showed that desialylation doubled the half-life of MHC-I molecules at cell surface in both DCs and T2 cells. The biological impact of DC´s desialylation was evaluated in co-cultures with autologous T cells, showing higher number and earlier immunological synapses, and consequent significantly increased production of IFN-γ by T cells. In summary, sialic acid content modulates the expression and stability of complex MHC-I, which may account for the improved DC-T synapses.

Abstract
Intracellular delivery is a key step in biological research and has enabled decades of biomedical discoveries. It is also becoming increasingly important in industrial and medical applications ranging from biomanufacture to cell-based therapies. Here, we review techniques for membrane disruption-based intracellular delivery from 1911 until the present. These methods achieve rapid, direct, and universal delivery of almost any cargo molecule or material that can be dispersed in solution. We start by covering the motivations for intracellular delivery and the challenges associated with the different cargo types-small molecules, proteins/peptides, nucleic acids, synthetic nanomaterials, and large cargo. The review then presents a broad comparison of delivery strategies followed by an analysis of membrane disruption mechanisms and the biology of the cell response. We cover mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, and chemical strategies of membrane disruption with a particular emphasis on their applications and challenges to implementation. Throughout, we highlight specific mechanisms of membrane disruption and suggest areas in need of further experimentation. We hope the concepts discussed in our review inspire scientists and engineers with further ideas to improve intracellular delivery.

Abstract
Small-molecular-weight GTPase Rab2 has been shown to be a resident of pre-Golgi intermediates and is required for protein transport from the ER to the Golgi complex; however, Rab2 has yet to be characterized in Dictyostelium discoideum. DdRabS is a Dictyostelium Rab that is 80 percent homologous to DdRab1 which is required for protein transport between the ER and Golgi. Expression of GFP-tagged DdRab2 and DdRabS proteins showed localization to Golgi membranes and to the contractile vacuole system (CV) in Dictyostelium. Microscopic imaging indicates that the DdRab2 and DdRabS proteins localize at, and are essential for, the proper structure of Golgi membranes and the CV system. Dominant negative (DN) forms show fractionation of Golgi membranes, supporting their role in the structure and function of it. DdRab2 and DdRabS proteins, and their dominant negative and constitutively active (CA) forms, affect osmoregulation of the cells, possibly by the influx and discharge of fluids, which suggests a role in the function of the CV system. This is the first evidence of GTPases being localized to both Golgi membranes and the CV system in Dictyostelium.

Abstract
During the asexual intraerythrocytic stage, the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum must traffic newly-synthesized proteins to a broad array of destinations within and beyond the parasite's plasma membrane. In this study, we have localized two well-conserved protein components of eukaryotic endosomes, the retromer complex and the small GTPase Rab7, to define a previously-undescribed endosomal compartment in P. falciparum. Retromer and Rab7 co-localized to a small number of punctate structures within parasites. These structures, which we refer to as endosomes, lie in close proximity to the Golgi apparatus and, like the Golgi apparatus, are inherited by daughter merozoites. However, the endosome is clearly distinct from the Golgi apparatus as neither retromer nor Rab7 redistributed to the endoplasmic reticulum upon brefeldin A treatment. Nascent rhoptries (specialized secretory organelles required for invasion) developed adjacent to endosomes, an observation that suggests a role for the endosome in rhoptry biogenesis. A P. falciparum homolog of the sortilin family of protein sorting receptors (PfSortilin) was localized to the Golgi apparatus. Together, these results elaborate a putative Golgi-to-endosome protein sorting pathway in asexual blood stage parasites and suggest that one role of retromer is to mediate the retrograde transport of PfSortilin from the endosome to the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
Identification and validation of protein targets of bioactive small molecules is an important problem in chemical biology and drug discovery. Currently, no single method is satisfactory for this task. Here, we provide an overview of common methods for target identification and validation that historically were most successful. We have classified for the first time the existing methods into two distinct and complementary types, the 'top-down' and 'bottom-up' approaches. In a typical top-down approach, the cellular phenotype is used as a starting point and the molecular target is approached through systematic narrowing down of possibilities by taking advantage of the detailed existing knowledge of cellular pathways and processes. In contrast, the bottom-up approach entails the direct detection and identification of the molecular targets using affinity-based or genetic methods. A special emphasis is placed on target validation, including correlation analysis and genetic methods, as this area is often ignored despite its importance.

Abstract
Coat protein complex I (COPI) vesicles play a central role in the recycling of proteins in the early secretory pathway and transport of proteins within the Golgi stack. Vesicle formation is initiated by the exchange of GDP for GTP on ARF1 (ADP-ribosylation factor 1), which, in turn, recruits the coat protein coatomer to the membrane for selection of cargo and membrane deformation. ARFGAP1 (ARF1 GTPase-activating protein 1) regulates the dynamic cycling of ARF1 on the membrane that results in both cargo concentration and uncoating for the generation of a fusion-competent vesicle. Two human orthologues of the yeast ARFGAP Glo3p, termed ARFGAP2 and ARFGAP3, have been demonstrated to be present on COPI vesicles generated in vitro in the presence of guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate. Here, we investigate the function of these two proteins in living cells and compare it with that of ARFGAP1. We find that ARFGAP2 and ARFGAP3 follow the dynamic behavior of coatomer upon stimulation of vesicle budding in vivo more closely than does ARFGAP1. Electron microscopy of ARFGAP2 and ARFGAP3 knockdowns indicated Golgi unstacking and cisternal shortening similarly to conditions where vesicle uncoating was blocked. Furthermore, the knockdown of both ARFGAP2 and ARFGAP3 prevents proper assembly of the COPI coat lattice for which ARFGAP1 does not seem to play a major role. This suggests that ARFGAP2 and ARFGAP3 are key components of the COPI coat lattice and are necessary for proper vesicle formation.

Abstract
This unit describes an in vitro assay that uses video-enhanced differential interference contrast (VE-DIC) microscopy to examine the motile interactions between isolated organelle fractions and microtubules (MTs). The method can be used to dissect the molecular requirements for organelle movement and membrane trafficking. A field of axoneme-nucleated MTs, growing and shortening as they would in a living cell (dynamic MTs), is generated in a simple microscope perfusion chamber. Various combinations of isolated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus organelles, cytosol containing motor proteins and other soluble factors, nucleotides, and specific pharmacological reagents are then added to the dynamic MT, and the motile interactions between the organelles and MTs are observed by VE-DIC microscopy.

Abstract
The formation and maturation of membrane carriers that transport cargo from the ER to the Golgi complex involves the sequential action of the coat protein complexes COPII and COPI. Recruitment of COPI to nascent carriers requires activation of ADP-ribosylation factors by a BrefeldinA-sensitive guanine nucleotide exchange factor. Using new antisera and a GFP-tagged protein, we demonstrate that the exchange factor GBF1 localized to both Golgi membranes and peripheral puncta, near but separate from ER exit sites. Live cell imaging revealed that GFP-GBF1 associates dynamically with both membranes through rapid exchange with a large cytosolic pool. Treatment with BrefeldinA dramatically altered this rapid exchange, causing accumulation of GBF1 on both Golgi and peripheral puncta before eventual redistribution to the ER in a microtubule-dependent manner. Measurement of diffusion coefficients and subcellular fractionation confirmed this shift in GBF1 from cytosolic to membrane bound. BrefeldinA-induced accumulation of GBF1 coincided with loss of COPI from peripheral puncta. Furthermore, recruitment of GBF1 to cargo-containing peripheral puncta coincided with recruitment of COPI, but not COPII. Strikingly, microinjection of anti-GBF1 antibodies specifically caused dissociation of COPI from membranes. These observations strongly suggest that GBF1 regulates COPI membrane recruitment in the early secretory pathway.

Abstract
Complex glycolipid synthesis is catalyzed by different glycosyltransferases resident of the Golgi complex. Most of them are type II membrane proteins comprising a lumenal, C-terminal domain linked to an N-terminal domain (Ntd) constituted by a short cytoplasmic tail (ct), a transmembrane, and a lumenal stem regions. They concentrate selectively in different sub-Golgi compartments, in an overlapped manner, acting in succession in the addition of sugars to acceptor glycolipids. The Ntds are sufficient to localize glycosyltransferases in the Golgi complex, but it is not clear whether they also confer selective concentration in sub-Golgi compartments. Here, we studied whether the Ntd of SialT2, localized in the proximal Golgi, and the one of GalNAcT, a trans/TGN Golgi-concentrated enzyme, concentrate reporter proteins in the corresponding sub-Golgi compartment. The sub-Golgi concentration of the Ntds fused to spectral variants of the GFP was determined in CHO-K1 cells from their behavior upon addition of brefeldin A. Fluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation showed that the SialT2 Ntd concentrates in a proximal sub-Golgi compartment - and that of GalNAcT in TGN elements. Exchanging the transmembrane region and the cts of SialT2 and GalNAcT indicates that information for proximal or distal Golgi concentration is associated with the cts.

Abstract
The trans-Golgi matrix consists of a group of proteins dynamically associated with the trans-Golgi and thought to be involved in anterograde and retrograde Golgi traffic, as well as interactions with the cytoskeleton and maintenance of the Golgi structure. GMx33 is localized to the cytoplasmic face of the trans-Golgi and is also present in a large cytoplasmic pool. Here we demonstrate that GMx33 is dynamically associated with the trans-Golgi matrix, associating and dissociating with the Golgi in seconds. GMx33 can be locked onto the trans-Golgi matrix by GTPgammaS, indicating that its association is regulated in a GTP-dependent manner like several other Golgi matrix proteins. Using live-cell imaging we show that GMx33 exits the Golgi associated with tubules and within these tubules GMx33 segregates from transmembrane proteins followed by fragmentation of the tubules into smaller tubules and vesicles. Within vesicles produced by an in vitro budding reaction, GMx33 remains segregated in a matrixlike tail region that sometimes contains Golgin-245. This trans-matrix often links a few vesicles together. Together these data suggest that GMx33 is a member of the trans-Golgi matrix and offer clues regarding the role of the trans-Golgi matrix in sorting and exit from the Golgi.

Abstract
Aluminum fluoride (AlFx) is known to activate directly the alpha subunit of G-proteins but not the homologous small GTP-binding proteins. However, AlFx can stabilize complexes formed between Ras, RhoA or Cdc42 and their corresponding GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). Here, we demonstrate that Arf1GDP can be converted into an active conformation by AlFx to form a complex with the Arf-GAP ASAP1 in vitro and in vivo. Within this complex ASAP1, which GAP activity is inoperative, can still alter the recruitment of paxillin to the focal complexes, thus indicating that ASAP1 interferes with focal complexes independently of its GAP activity.

Abstract
We established a transient human joining (J)-chain gene expression system in the baby hamster kidney (BHK) cell. The J-chain was detected as a 29-kDa single band on Western blotting. Immunofluorescent staining of the transfectant revealed an exclusive localization of the J-chain in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Intracellular transport experiment revealed that incubating conditions favorable for vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G) transport did not allow the J-chain to exit from the ER. Analysis of glycosylation status of the J-chain in the transfectant was examined by tunicamycin treatment, endoglycosidase H digestion, and also by treatment with brefeldin A. It was found that an N-glycosylation consensus site of the J-chain was functional, and intracellular J-chain was endoglycosidase H sensitive. These results indicate that, in the absence of any immunoglobulin molecules, J-chain localizes exclusively in the ER. We also tested whether the J-chain could be exported from the ER by perturbing the Ca2+ concentration in the ER. Cultivation of the J-chain transfectant in the presence of ionomycin resulted in the time-dependent secretion of the J-chain. The secreted J-chain was modified by the Golgi resident glycosylation enzymes, indicating that the secreted J-chain passed through the normal exocytic pathway.

Abstract
Non-clathrin-coated vesicles mediate membrane traffic through the Golgi complex. The proteins that constitute the coats of these vesicles have similar molecular weights to the clathrin coat proteins. A major component of the coat of non-clathrin-coated vesicles, beta-COP, has significant homology with the clathrin coat protein beta-adaptin, indicating that the coats of the two different classes of vesicles may be structurally and functionally homologous.

Abstract
Clathrin has long been known to provide the structural basis for vesicle budding from the plasma membrane during endocytosis, but how is clathrin targeted specifically to some cellular membranes and not others? The answer seems to lie in the adaptors--protein complexes whose shape resembles the head of Mickey Mouse--which seem to be required both for clathrin-coat assembly and for sequestering specific receptors by interacting with their cytoplasmic domains. In this article, Margaret Robinson describes what is currently known about these versatile proteins.

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
The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) UL51 gene products are virion-associated phosphoproteins with apparent molecular masses of 27, 29, and 30 kDa in HSV-1-infected cells. In this study, we have investigated the intracellular localization and distribution of UL51 protein both in infected cells and in transfected cells expressing only UL51. We found that this protein colocalized closely with Golgi marker proteins such as the Golgi-58K protein and GM130 in transfected cells expressing only UL51. However, in infected cells, the UL51 protein localized to the juxtanuclear region but only partially colocalized with the Golgi maker proteins. Mutant protein analysis revealed that the N-terminal 15 amino acid residues of the UL51 protein sufficed for this Golgi localization property. The UL51 protein redistributed on addition of brefeldin A. This was prevented by pretreatment with 2-deoxyglucose and sodium azide, which results in ATP depletion, but not by pretreatment with NaF and AlCl(3), which activates heterotrimeric G proteins. Moreover, we found that palmitoylation of the UL51 protein through the N-terminal cysteine at position 9 was necessary for its Golgi localization. Protease digestion analysis suggested that the UL51 protein localized on the cytoplasmic face of the membrane in UL51-transfected cells, while in infected cells it localized mainly to the inside of cytoplasmic vesicles and/or the viral envelope. Transmission immunoelectron microscopy revealed an association of UL51 protein-specific labeling with cytoplasmic virions and also with some membranous structure. We infer from these observations that internalization of UL51 protein into the cytoplasmic vesicle and/or virion may occur in association with viral envelopment in HSV-infected cells.

Abstract
Picornavirus RNA replication requires the formation of replication complexes (RCs) consisting of virus-induced vesicles associated with viral nonstructural proteins and RNA. Brefeldin A (BFA) has been shown to strongly inhibit RNA replication of poliovirus but not of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV). Here, we demonstrate that the replication of parechovirus 1 (ParV1) is partly resistant to BFA, whereas echovirus 11 (EV11) replication is strongly inhibited. Since BFA inhibits COPI-dependent steps in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi transport, we tested a hypothesis that different picornaviruses may have differential requirements for COPI in the formation of their RCs. Using immunofluorescence and cryo-immunoelectron microscopy we examined the association of a COPI component, beta-COP, with the RCs of EMCV, ParV1, and EV11. EMCV RCs did not contain beta-COP. In contrast, beta-COP appeared to be specifically distributed to the RCs of EV11. In ParV1-infected cells beta-COP was largely dispersed throughout the cytoplasm, with some being present in the RCs. These results suggest that there are differences in the involvement of COPI in the formation of the RCs of various picornaviruses, corresponding to their differential sensitivity to BFA. EMCV RCs are likely to be formed immediately after vesicle budding from the ER, prior to COPI association with membranes. ParV1 RCs are formed from COPI-containing membranes but COPI is unlikely to be directly involved in their formation, whereas formation of EV11 RCs appears to be dependent on COPI association with membranes.

Abstract
Prosomatostatin, the precursor of the hormone somatostatin, harbors an N-glycosylation site in its prodomain that has never been shown to be modified by the N-oligosaccharyl transferase (OST) of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The addition of Brefeldin A (BFA) to prosomatostatin transfected AtT20 cells leads to a quantitative glycosylation of the prohormone. Upon removal of the BFA the glycosylated hormone precursor is not deglycosylated, and is secreted after maturation of its oligosaccharide chain in the late secretory pathway. In addition, a significant proportion of the glycosylated hormone precursor remains in the cell. Since BFA is known to induce an effective collapse of the Golgi complex into the ER, the hypothesis that a prolonged exposure to the ER glycosylation machinery is responsible for the glycosylation was tested. No N-glycosylation was detected using a coupled in vitro transcription-translation system in the presence of canine pancreatic microsomes, indicating that rapid transit through the ER does not explain the lack of glycosylation observed in vivo in the absence of BFA. These observations show that co-translational glycosylation by OST becomes possible due to a still unidentified modification in the luminal environment brought about by the coalescence of the Golgi into the ER caused by BFA.

Abstract
To quantitatively investigate the trafficking of the transmembrane lectin VIP36 and its relation to cargo-containing transport carriers (TCs), we analyzed a C-terminal fluorescent-protein (FP) fusion, VIP36-SP-FP. When expressed at moderate levels, VIP36-SP-FP localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and intermediate transport structures, and colocalized with epitope-tagged VIP36. Temperature shift and pharmacological experiments indicated VIP36-SP-FP recycled in the early secretory pathway, exhibiting trafficking representative of a class of transmembrane cargo receptors, including the closely related lectin ERGIC53. VIP36-SP-FP trafficking structures comprised tubules and globular elements, which translocated in a saltatory manner. Simultaneous visualization of anterograde secretory cargo and VIP36-SP-FP indicated that the globular structures were pre-Golgi carriers, and that VIP36-SP-FP segregated from cargo within the Golgi and was not included in post-Golgi TCs. Organelle-specific bleach experiments directly measured the exchange of VIP36-SP-FP between the Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Fitting a two-compartment model to the recovery data predicted first order rate constants of 1.22 +/- 0.44%/min for ER --> Golgi, and 7.68 +/- 1.94%/min for Golgi --> ER transport, revealing a half-time of 113 +/- 70 min for leaving the ER and 1.67 +/- 0.45 min for leaving the Golgi, and accounting for the measured steady-state distribution of VIP36-SP-FP (13% Golgi/87% ER). Perturbing transport with AlF(4)(-) treatment altered VIP36-SP-GFP distribution and changed the rate constants. The parameters of the model suggest that relatively small differences in the first order rate constants, perhaps manifested in subtle differences in the tendency to enter distinct TCs, result in large differences in the steady-state localization of secretory components.

Abstract
Calcium has been implicated in regulating vesicle fusion reactions, but its potential role in regulating other aspects of protein transport, such as vesicle assembly, is largely unexplored. We find that treating cells with the membrane-permeable calcium chelator, 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetrakis(acetoxymethyl ester) (BAPTA-AM), leads to a dramatic redistribution of the vesicle coat protein, coatomer, in the cell. We have used the cell-free reconstitution of coat-protomer I (COPI) vesicle assembly to characterize the mechanisms of this redistribution. We find that the recovery of COPI-coated Golgi vesicles is inhibited by the addition of BAPTA to the cell-free vesicle budding assay. When coatomer-coated membranes are incubated in the presence of calcium chelators, the membranes "uncoat," indicating that calcium is necessary for maintaining the integrity of the coat. This uncoating is reversed by the addition of calcium. Interestingly, BAPTA, a calcium chelator with fast binding kinetics, is more potent at uncoating the coatomer-coated membrane than EGTA, suggesting that a calcium transient or a calcium gradient is important for stabilizing COPI vesicle coat. The primary target for the effects of calcium on coatomer recruitment is a step that occurs after ADP-ribosylation factor binding to the membrane. We suggest that a calcium gradient may serve to regulate the timing of vesicle uncoating.

Abstract
An expansion of polyglutamines in the N terminus of huntingtin causes Huntington's disease (HD) and results in the accrual of mutant protein in the nucleus and cytoplasm of affected neurons. How mutant huntingtin causes neurons to die is unclear, but some recent observations suggest that an autophagic process may occur. We showed previously that huntingtin markedly accumulates in endosomal-lysosomal organelles of affected HD neurons and, when exogenously expressed in clonal striatal neurons, huntingtin appears in cytoplasmic vacuoles causing cells to shrink. Here we show that the huntingtin-enriched cytoplasmic vacuoles formed in vitro internalized the lysosomal enzyme cathepsin D in proportion to the polyglutamine-length in huntingtin. Huntingtin-labeled vacuoles displayed the ultrastructural features of early and late autophagosomes (autolysosomes), had little or no overlap with ubiquitin, proteasome, and heat shock protein 70/heat shock cognate 70 immunoreactivities, and altered the arrangement of Golgi membranes, mitochondria, and nuclear membranes. Neurons with excess cytoplasmic huntingtin also exhibited increased tubulation of endosomal membranes. Exogenously expressed human full-length wild-type and mutant huntingtin codistributed with endogenous mouse huntingtin in soluble and membrane fractions, whereas human N-terminal huntingtin products were found only in membrane fractions that contained lysosomal organelles. We speculate that mutant huntingtin accumulation in HD activates the endosomal-lysosomal system, which contributes to huntingtin proteolysis and to an autophagic process of cell death.

Abstract
The fungal metabolite brefeldin A (BFA) induces the disassembly of the Golgi complex in mammalian cells. The drug seems to accentuate tubule formation and causes the subsequent fusion with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To investigate the biochemical requirements and kinetics of BFA-induced Golgi disassembly, we have reconstituted the process of green fluorescent protein-tagged Golgi complex disassembly in streptolysin O-permeabilized semi-intact Chinese hamster ovary cells. For quantitative analysis of the morphological changes to the Golgi complex in semi-intact cells, we developed a novel morphometric analysis. Based on this analysis, we have dissected the BFA-induced Golgi disassembly process biochemically into two processes, Golgi tubule formation and fusion with the ER, and found that the formation is induced by only ATP and the residual factors in the cells and that the subsequent fusion is mediated in an N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-dependent manner via Golgi tubules. Tubulation occurs by two pathways that depend on either microtubule integrity or exogenously added cytosol. In the presence of GTPgammaS, coat protein I inhibited the Golgi tubule fusion with the ER but showed no apparent effect on tubulation. Additionally, we analyzed the kinetics of tubulation and fusion independently in nocodazole-treated and -untreated semi-intact cells and found that tubulation is a rate-limiting step of the Golgi disassembly.

Abstract
Treatment of cultured cells with brefeldin A (BFA) induces the formation of extensive membrane tubules from the Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network, and early endosomes in a microtubule-dependent manner. We have reconstituted this transport process in vitro using Xenopus egg cytosol and a rat liver Golgi-enriched membrane fraction. The presence of BFA results in the formation of an intricate, interconnected tubular membrane network, a process that, as in vivo, is inhibited by nocodazole, the H1 anti-kinesin monoclonal antibody, and by membrane pretreatment with guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate). Surprisingly, membrane tubule formation is not due to the action of conventional kinesin or any of the other motors implicated in Golgi membrane dynamics. Two candidate motors of approximately 100 and approximately 130 kDa have been identified using the H1 antibody, both of which exhibit motor properties in a biochemical assay. Finally, BFA-induced membrane tubule formation does not occur in metaphase cytosol, and because membrane binding of both candidate motors is not altered after incubation in metaphase compared with interphase cytosol, these results suggest that either the ATPase or microtubule-binding activity of the relevant motor is cell cycle regulated.

Abstract
The membrane transport factor p115 functions in the secretory pathway of mammalian cells. Using biochemical and morphological approaches, we show that p115 participates in the assembly and maintenance of normal Golgi structure and is required for ER to Golgi traffic at a pre-Golgi stage. Injection of antibodies against p115 into intact WIF-B cells caused Golgi disruption and inhibited Golgi complex reassembly after BFA treatment and wash-out. Addition of anti-p115 antibodies or depletion of p115 from a VSVtsO45 based semi-intact cell transport assay inhibited transport. The inhibition occurred after VSV glycoprotein (VSV-G) exit from the ER but before its delivery to the Golgi complex, and resulted in VSV-G protein accumulating in peripheral vesicular tubular clusters (VTCs). The p115-requiring step of transport followed the rab1-requiring step and preceded the Ca(2+)-requiring step. Unexpectedly, mannosidase I redistributed from the Golgi complex to colocalize with VSV-G protein arrested in pre-Golgi VTCs by p115 depletion. Redistribution of mannosidase I was also observed in cells incubated at 15 degrees C. Our data show that p115 is essential for the translocation of pre-Golgi VTCs from peripheral sites to the Golgi stack. This defines a previously uncharacterized function for p115 at the VTC stage of ER to Golgi traffic.

Abstract
UDP-GalNAc:lactosylceramide/GM3/GD3 beta-1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAc-T) transforms its acceptors into the gangliosides GA2, GM2 and GD2. It is well established that it is a Golgi-located glycosyltransferase, but its sub-Golgi localization is still unclear. We addressed this question in Chinese hamster ovary K1 cell clones stably transfected with a c-myc-tagged version of GalNAc-T which express the enzyme at different levels of activity. In these cell clones we examined the effect of brefeldin A (BFA) on the synthesis of glycolipids (in metabolic-labelling experiments) and on the sub-Golgi localization of the GalNAc-T (by immunocytochemistry). We found that in cell clones expressing moderate levels of activity, GalNAc-T immunoreactivity behaved as the trans-Golgi network (TGN) marker mannose-6-P receptor (M6PR) both in BFA-treated and untreated cells, and that BFA completely blocked the synthesis of GM2, GM1 and GD1a. On the other hand, in cell clones expressing high levels of activity and treated with BFA, most GalNAc-T immunoreactivity redistributed to the endoplasmic reticulum, as did the medial-Golgi marker mannosidase II, and the synthesis of GM2, GM1 and GD1a was not completely blocked. These results indicate that GalNAc-T is a TGN-located enzyme and that the mechanism that localizes it to this compartment involves steps that, when saturated, lead to its mislocalization to the cis-, medial- or trans-Golgi. Changes of Golgi membrane properties by modification of local glycolipid composition due to the activity of the expressed enzyme were not the main cause of mislocalization, since it persists when glycolipid synthesis is inhibited with d, l-threo-1-phenyl-2-hexadecanoylamino-3-pyrrolidino-1-propanol-HCl.

Abstract
The dense granules of the intracellular protozoan Toxoplasma gondii are secretory vesicles that play a major role in the structural modifications of the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) in which the parasite develops. The biogenesis of dense granules as well as the regulatory mechanisms controlling their specific exocytosis are still poorly understood. In this paper, we analyzed the secretory pathway of dense granule proteins (GRA proteins) in extracellular T. gondii through the effects of brefeldin A (BFA). Ultrastructural studies of BFA-treated parasites showed disassembly of the Golgi apparatus and accumulation of GRA proteins in a dilated vacuolar system connected to the nuclear envelope. BFA reversibly blocked the intracellular transport of the newly synthesized GRA proteins in a dose-dependent manner (blockade of 95% at 1 microg/ml of BFA). By contrast, discharge of GRA proteins from preformed dense granules was unaffected by BFA over a course of 60 min incubation. GRA protein secretion was dependent on incubation temperature as it only occurred above 26 degrees C and it could be stimulated by external factors. This stimulus might be provided by factor(s) present in the serum of the extracellular medium, as incubation of parasites in serum-free medium resulted in a dramatic decrease in protein secretion. Exocytosis can be restored in a dose-dependent fashion by serum addition (maximal stimulatory activity in the 30-200 kDa range) and was optimal at an extracellular pH of 6.5. Altogether, these results demonstrate that GRA proteins are exported through the Golgi apparatus via the classical secretory pathway and can be experimentally discharged from storage dense granules as regulated secretory proteins in response to specific stimulation, arguing in favor of a regulated component for dense granule exocytosis in T. gondii.

Abstract
We noted previously that certain aminoglycoside antibiotics inhibit the binding of coatomer to Golgi membranes in vitro. The inhibition is mediated in part by two primary amino groups present at the 1 and 3 positions of the 2-deoxystreptamine moiety of the antibiotics. These two amines appear to mimic the epsilon-amino groups present in the two lysine residues of the KKXX motif that is known to bind coatomer. Here we report the effects of 1, 3-cyclohexanebis(methylamine) (CBM) on secretion in vivo, a compound chosen for study because it contains primary amino groups that resemble those in 2-deoxystreptamine and it should penetrate lipid bilayers more readily than antibiotics. CBM inhibited coatomer binding to Golgi membranes in vitro and in vivo and inhibited secretion by intact cells. Despite depressed binding of coatomer in vivo, the Golgi complex retained its characteristic perinuclear location in the presence of CBM and did not fuse with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Transport from the ER to the Golgi was also not blocked by CBM. These data suggest that a full complement of coat protein I (COPI) on membranes is not critical for maintenance of Golgi integrity or for traffic from the ER to the Golgi but is necessary for transport through the Golgi to the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Recently, p24A and p23 (also termed Tmp21), two members of the p24 protein family, have been proposed to function as integral receptors for the COPI-vesicle coat. This study describes the intracellular localization and trafficking of p24A in comparison to p23. For immunolocalization of p24A and p23, strong reduction and denaturation conditions were necessary to allow antibody interaction. Both p24A and p23 cycle continuously between intermediate compartment (IC) elements and the cis-Golgi network. In vivo trafficking of p24A and p23 tagged to green fluorescent protein (GFP) revealed that both proteins travel by large (up to 1 micrometer in length) microtubule-dependent pre-Golgi carriers with a maximum speed of up to 1.6 micrometer s-1 from the IC to the Golgi cisternae. Aluminum fluoride, a general activator of heterotrimeric G-proteins, blocked peripheral pre-Golgi movements of GFP-p24A/p23 and inhibited fluorescence recovery after photobleaching in the perinuclear Golgi area. p24A and p23 are predominantly colocalized. Overexpression of GFP-p24A, to an extent which did not destroy the Golgi complex, induced delocalization of part of the proteins into ER elements. This study therefore gives new insights into the localization and trafficking behavior of the two COPI-binding proteins p24A and p23.

Abstract
The small GTPase ARF1 is a key regulator of intracellular membrane traffic. In its active, GTP-bound form, ARF1 is associated with Golgi membranes and promotes the recruitment of the cytosolic coat protein complex, which will result in membrane budding and vesicle formation. ARNO (ARF nucleotide site opener) has been shown to act in vitro as a GTP exchange factor for ARF1. Here, we have investigated the function of ARNO in vivo. By immunofluorescence and cell fractionation, ARNO was found to be mostly cytosolic in HeLa cells. Its overexpression led to a strong inhibition of the secretion of SEAP (secreted form of alkaline phosphatase). Newly synthesized SEAP failed to acquire endoglycosidase H resistance, indicating a block in the early secretory pathway. This effect on secretion was accompanied by a disassembly of the Golgi complex and a redistribution of Golgi resident proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). On the other hand, ARNO overexpression did not affect the early endocytic pathway. These results show that ARNO functions in vivo in Golgi to ER transport. Its behavior is then consistent with ARNO being an exchange factor for ARF1.

Abstract
Phagocytosis requires extension of F-actin-rich pseudopods and is accompanied by membrane fusion events. Members of the ARF family of GTPases are essential for many aspects of membrane trafficking. To test a role for this family of proteins in Fcgamma receptor-mediated phagocytosis, we utilized the fungal metabolite brefeldin A (BFA). The addition of 100 microM BFA to a subclone of RAW 264.7 macrophages disrupted the appearance and function of the Golgi apparatus as indicated by altered immunofluorescent distribution of beta-COP and reduced efflux of BODIPY C5-ceramide, a phospholipid that normally accumulates in the Golgi apparatus. In contrast, BFA had no effect on phagocytosis of IgG-coated erythrocytes. These results suggested that activation of BFA-sensitive ARFs is not required for phagocytosis. ARF6 is unique among members of the ARF family in that its membrane association is unaffected by BFA. Expression of ARF6 mutants defective in either GTP hydrolysis (Q67L) or binding (T27N) inhibited phagocytosis of IgG-coated erythrocytes and attenuated the focal accumulation of F-actin beneath the test particles. These results indicate a requirement for ARF6 in Fcgamma receptor-mediated phagocytosis and suggest that ARF6 is an important mediator of cytoskeletal alterations after Fcgamma receptor activation.

Abstract
To study the function of the endogenous ARF6 GTP binding protein in cells, we generated an antibody which specifically recognizes ARF6, and not the other ARF proteins. Using this antibody, ARF6 was detected in all mouse organs tested and in a variety of cultured cell lines including RBL, MDCK, NRK, BHK, COS, and HeLa cells. In NRK cells, by immunofluorescence, ARF6 localized to the plasma membrane, especially at regions exhibiting membrane ruffling, and was also concentrated in a fine punctate distribution in the juxtanuclear region. This pattern of localization of the endogenous protein was similar to the localization of ARF6 when overexpressed in NRK, or HeLa, cells. Treatments which perturb cortical actin in NRK cells, such as replating of cells after trypsinization or treatment with phorbol ester, resulted in the recruitment of endogenous ARF6 to the regions of cortical actin rearrangement. ARF6 activation and subsequent membrane recycling was required for cell spreading activity since expression of the dominant-negative, GTP-binding defective mutant of ARF6, T27N, previously shown to inhibit ARF6-regulated membrane recycling, inhibited cell attachment and spreading in HeLa cells. Furthermore, phorbol ester treatment enhanced the cell spreading activities in NRK cells, and in HeLa cells, but was not observed in cells expressing T27N. Taken together, these observations support a role for endogenous ARF6 in modeling the plasma membrane and cortical actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Secretory granules are specialized intracellular organelles that serve as a storage pool for selected secretory products. The exocytosis of secretory granules is markedly amplified under physiologically stimulated conditions. While granules have been recognized as post-Golgi carriers for almost 40 years, the molecular mechanisms involved in their formation from the trans-Golgi network are only beginning to be defined. This review summarizes and evaluates current information about how secretory proteins are thought to be sorted for the regulated secretory pathway and how these activities are positioned with respect to other post-Golgi sorting events that must occur in parallel. In the first half of the review, the emerging role of immature secretory granules in protein sorting is highlighted. The second half of the review summarizes what is known about the composition of granule membranes. The numerous similarities and relatively limited differences identified between granule membranes and other vesicular carriers that convey products to and from the plasmalemma, serve as a basis for examining how granule membrane composition might be established and how its unique functions interface with general post-Golgi membrane traffic. Studies of granule formation in vitro offer additional new insights, but also important challenges for future efforts to understand how regulated secretory pathways are constructed and maintained.

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
The ER is uniquely enriched in chaperones and folding enzymes that facilitate folding and unfolding reactions and ensure that only correctly folded and assembled proteins leave this compartment. Here we address the extent to which proteins that leave the ER and localize to distal sites in the secretory pathway are able to return to the ER folding environment during their lifetime. Retrieval of proteins back to the ER was studied using an assay based on the capacity of the ER to retain misfolded proteins. The lumenal domain of the temperature-sensitive viral glycoprotein VSVGtsO45 was fused to Golgi or plasma membrane targeting domains. At the nonpermissive temperature, newly synthesized fusion proteins misfolded and were retained in the ER, indicating the VSVGtsO45 ectodomain was sufficient for their retention within the ER. At the permissive temperature, the fusion proteins were correctly delivered to the Golgi complex or plasma membrane, indicating the lumenal epitope of VSVGtsO45 also did not interfere with proper targeting of these molecules. Strikingly, Golgi-localized fusion proteins, but not VSVGtsO45 itself, were found to redistribute back to the ER upon a shift to the nonpermissive temperature, where they misfolded and were retained. This occurred over a time period of 15 min-2 h depending on the chimera, and did not require new protein synthesis. Significantly, recycling did not appear to be induced by misfolding of the chimeras within the Golgi complex. This suggested these proteins normally cycle between the Golgi and ER, and while passing through the ER at 40 degrees C become misfolded and retained. The attachment of the thermosensitive VSVGtsO45 lumenal domain to proteins promises to be a useful tool for studying the molecular mechanisms and specificity of retrograde traffic to the ER.

Abstract
An important new tool for investigating how the Golgi receives cargo and maintains its integrity in the face of ongoing secretory traffic has emerged with the advent of green fluorescent protein (GFP) chimeras. GFP chimeras, which can be visualized in the unperturbed environment of a living cell, are being used in a wide variety of applications to study Golgi dynamics. These include time-lapse imaging, double-label and photobleach experiments. These studies are helping to clarify the steps involved in the formation, translocation and fate of transport intermediates associated with the Golgi complex, including the roles of cytoskeletal elements. They are also providing insights into mechanisms of protein retention and localization within Golgi membranes.

Abstract
The small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1) is a key regulator of intracellular membrane traffic. Regulators of ARF1, its GTPase-activating protein (GAP) and its guanine nucleotide exchange factor have been identified recently. However, it remains uncertain whether these regulators drive the GTPase cycle of ARF1 autonomously or whether their activities can be regulated by other proteins. Here, we demonstrate that the intracellular KDEL receptor, ERD2, self-oligomerizes and interacts with ARF1 GAP, and thereby regulates the recruitment of cytosolic ARF1 GAP to membranes. Because ERD2 overexpression enhances the recruitment of GAP to membranes and results in a phenotype that reflects ARF1 inactivation, our findings suggest that ERD2 regulates ARF1 GAP, and thus regulates ARF1-mediated transport.

Abstract
Further investigation of the targeting of the intracellular membrane lectin endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi intermediate compartment-53 (ERGIC-53) by site-directed mutagenesis revealed that its lumenal and transmembrane domains together confer ER retention. In addition we show that the cytoplasmic domain is required for exit from the ER indicating that ERGIC-53 carries an ER-exit determinant. Two phenylalanines at the C terminus are essential for ER-exit. Thus, ERGIC-53 contains determinants for ER retention as well as anterograde transport which, in conjunction with a dilysine ER retrieval signal, control the continuous recycling of ERGIC-53 in the early secretory pathway. In vitro binding studies revealed a specific phenylalanine-dependent interaction between an ERGIC-53 cytosolic tail peptide and the COPII coat component Sec23p. These results suggest that the ER-exit of ERGIC-53 is mediated by direct interaction of its cytosolic tail with the Sec23p.Sec24p complex of COPII and that protein sorting at the level of the ER occurs by a mechanism similar to receptor-mediated endocytosis or Golgi to ER retrograde transport.

Abstract
Insulin inhibits apolipoprotein B (apoB) secretion by primary rat hepatocytes through activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-K). Current studies demonstrate that the PI 3-K inhibitor wortmannin inhibits both basal and insulin-stimulated PI 3-K activities. Wortmannin and LY 294002, two structurally distinct PI 3-K inhibitors, prevent insulin-dependent inhibition of apoB secretion in a dose-dependent manner. To link PI 3-K activation to insulin action on apoB, we investigated whether insulin induced localization of activated PI 3-K to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where apoB biogenesis is initiated. Insulin action results in a significant redistribution of PI 3-K to a low density microsome (LDM) fraction containing apoB protein and apoB mRNA. Insulin stimulates a significant increase in PI 3-K activity associated with insulin receptor substrate-1 as well as an increase in insulin receptor substrate-1/PI 3-K mass in LDM. Subfractionation of LDM on sucrose density gradients shows that insulin significantly increases the amount of PI 3-K present in an ER fraction containing apoB. Insulin stimulates PI 3-K activity in smooth and rough microsomes isolated from rat hepatocytes, the latter of which contain rough ER as demonstrated by electron microscopy. Studies indicate that 1) PI 3-K activity is necessary for insulin-dependent inhibition of apoB secretion by rat hepatocytes; 2) insulin action leads to the activation and localization of PI 3-K in an ER fraction containing apoB; and 3) insulin stimulates PI 3-K activity in the rough ER.

Abstract
The Golgi complex is a dynamic organelle engaged in both secretory and retrograde membrane traffic. Here, we use green fluorescent protein-Golgi protein chimeras to study Golgi morphology in vivo. In untreated cells, membrane tubules were a ubiquitous, prominent feature of the Golgi complex, serving both to interconnect adjacent Golgi elements and to carry membrane outward along microtubules after detaching from stable Golgi structures. Brefeldin A treatment, which reversibly disassembles the Golgi complex, accentuated tubule formation without tubule detachment. A tubule network extending throughout the cytoplasm was quickly generated and persisted for 5-10 min until rapidly emptying Golgi contents into the ER within 15-30 s. Both lipid and protein emptied from the Golgi at similar rapid rates, leaving no Golgi structure behind, indicating that Golgi membranes do not simply mix but are absorbed into the ER in BFA-treated cells. The directionality of redistribution implied Golgi membranes are at a higher free energy state than ER membranes. Analysis of its kinetics suggested a mechanism that is analogous to wetting or adsorptive phenomena in which a tension-driven membrane flow supplements diffusive transfer of Golgi membrane into the ER. Such nonselective, flow-assisted transport of Golgi membranes into ER suggests that mechanisms that regulate retrograde tubule formation and detachment from the Golgi complex are integral to the existence and maintenance of this organelle.

Abstract
We have investigated the role of the ADP- ribosylation induced by brefeldin A (BFA) in the mechanisms controlling the architecture of the Golgi complex. BFA causes the rapid disassembly of this organelle into a network of tubules, prevents the association of coatomer and other proteins to Golgi membranes, and stimulates the ADP-ribosylation of two cytosolic proteins of 38 and 50 kD (GAPDH and BARS-50; De Matteis, M.A., M. DiGirolamo, A. Colanzi, M. Pallas, G. Di Tullio, L.J. McDonald, J. Moss, G. Santini, S. Bannykh, D. Corda, and A. Luini. 1994. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 91:1114-1118; Di Girolamo, M., M.G.

To study the role of ADP-ribosylation, this reaction was inhibited by depletion of NAD+ (the ADP-ribose donor) or by using selective pharmacological blockers in permeabilized cells. In NAD+-depleted cells and in the presence of dialized cytosol, BFA detached coat proteins from Golgi membranes with normal potency but failed to alter the organelle's structure. Readdition of NAD+ triggered Golgi disassembly by BFA. This effect of NAD+ was mimicked by the use of pre-ADP- ribosylated cytosol. The further addition of extracts enriched in native BARS-50 abolished the ability of ADP-ribosylated cytosol to support the effect of BFA. Pharmacological blockers of the BFA-dependent ADP-ribosylation (Weigert, R., A. Colanzi, A. Mironov, R. Buccione, C. Cericola, M.G. Sciulli, G. Santini, S. Flati, A. Fusella, J. Donaldson, M. DiGirolamo, D. Corda, M.A. De Matteis, and A. Luini. 1997. J. Biol. Chem. 272:14200-14207) prevented Golgi disassembly by BFA in permeabilized cells. These inhibitors became inactive in the presence of pre-ADP-ribosylated cytosol, and their activity was rescued by supplementing the cytosol with a native BARS-50-enriched fraction. These results indicate that ADP-ribosylation plays a role in the Golgi disassembling activity of BFA, and suggest that the ADP-ribosylated substrates are components of the machinery controlling the structure of the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) 6 localizes to the plasma membrane (PM) in its GTP state and to a tubulovesicular compartment in its GDP state in HeLa cells that express wild-type or mutant forms of this GTPase. Aluminum fluoride (AlF) treatment of ARF6-transfected cells redistributes ARF6 to the PM and stimulates the formation of actin-rich surface protrusions. Here we show that cytochalasin D (CD) treatment inhibited formation of the AlF-induced protrusions and shifted the distribution of ARF6 to a tubular membrane compartment emanating from the juxtanuclear region of cells, which resembled the compartment where the GTP-binding defective mutant of ARF6 localized. This membrane compartment was distinct from transferrin-positive endosomes, could be detected in the absence of ARF6 overexpression or CD treatment, and was accessible to loading by PM proteins lacking clathrin/AP-2 cytoplasmic targeting sequences, such as the IL-2 receptor alpha subunit Tac. ARF6 and surface Tac moved into this compartment and back out to the PM in the absence of pharmacologic treatment. Whereas AlF treatment blocked internalization, CD treatment blocked the recycling of wild-type ARF6 and Tac back to the PM; these blocks were mimicked by expression of ARF6 mutants Q67L and T27N, which were predicted to be in either the GTP- or GDP-bound state, respectively. Thus, the ARF6 GTP cycle regulates this membrane traffic pathway. The delivery of ARF6 and membrane to defined sites along the PM may provide components necessary for remodeling the cell surface and the underlying actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Brefeldin A, a toxin inhibitor of vesicular traffic, induces the selective mono-ADP-ribosylation of two cytosolic proteins, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and the novel GTP-binding protein BARS-50. Here, we have used a new quantitative assay for the characterization of this reaction and the development of specific pharmacological inhibitors. Mono-ADP-ribosylation is activated by brefeldin A with an EC50 of 17.0 +/- 3.1 microg/ml, but not by biologically inactive analogs including a brefeldin A stereoisomer. Brefeldin A acts by increasing the Vmax of the reaction, whereas it does not influence the Km of the enzyme for NAD+ (154 +/- 13 microM). The enzyme is an integral membrane protein present in most tissues and is modulated by Zn2+, Cu2+, ATP (but not by other nucleotides), pH, temperature, and ionic strength. To identify inhibitors of the reaction, a large number of drugs previously tested as blockers of bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferases were screened. Two classes of molecules, one belonging to the coumarin group (dicumarol, coumermycin A1, and novobiocin) and the other to the quinone group (ilimaquinone, benzoquinone, and naphthoquinone), rather potently and specifically inhibited brefeldin A-dependent mono-ADP-ribosylation. When tested in living cells, these molecules antagonized the tubular reticular redistribution of the Golgi complex caused by brefeldin A at concentrations similar to those active in the mono-ADP-ribosylation assay in vitro, suggesting a role for mono-ADP-ribosylation in the cellular actions of brefeldin A.

Abstract
Addition of brefeldin A (BFA) to mammalian cells rapidly results in the removal of coatomer from membranes and subsequent delivery of Golgi enzymes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Microinjected anti-EAGE (intact IgG or Fab-fragments), antibodies against the "EAGE"-peptide of beta-COP, inhibit BFA-induced redistribution of beta-COP in vivo and block transfer of resident proteins of the Golgi complex to the ER; tubulo-vesicular clusters accumulate and Golgi membrane proteins concentrate in cytoplasmic patches containing beta-COP. These patches are devoid of marker proteins of the ER, the intermediate compartment (IC), and do not contain KDEL receptor. Interestingly, relocation of KDEL receptor to the IC, where it colocalizes with ERGIC53 and ts-O45-G, is not inhibited under these conditions. While no stacked Golgi cisternae remain in these injected cells, reassembly of stacks of Golgi cisternae following BFA wash-out is inhibited to only approximately 50%. Mono- or divalent anti-EAGE stabilize binding of coatomer to membranes in vitro, at least as efficiently as GTP(gamma)S. Taken together these results suggest that enhanced binding of coatomer to membranes completely inhibits the BFA-induced retrograde transport of Golgi resident proteins to the ER, probably by inhibiting fusion of Golgi with ER membranes, but does not interfere with the disassembly of the stacked Golgi cisternae and recycling of KDEL receptor to the IC. These results confirm our previous results suggesting that COPI is involved in anterograde membrane transport from the ER/IC to the Golgi complex (Pepperkok et al., 1993), and corroborate that COPI regulates retrograde membrane transport between the Golgi complex and ER in mammalian cells.

Abstract
We have compared the abilities of mammalian ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) 1, 5, and 6 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ARF2 to serve as substrates for the rat liver Golgi membrane guanine nucleotide exchange factor and to initiate the formation of clathrin- and coatomer protein (COP) I-coated vesicles on these membranes. While Golgi membranes stimulated the exchange of GTPgammaS for GDP on all of the ARFs tested, mammalian ARF1 was the best substrate, with an apparent Km of 5 microM. In all cases myristoylation of ARF was required for stimulation. Agents that inhibit the Golgi membrane guanine nucleotide exchange factor (the fungal metabolite brefeldin A and trypsin treatment) selectively inhibited the guanine nucleotide exchange on mammalian ARF1. Taken together, these data indicate that of the ARFs tested, only mammalian ARF1 is activated efficiently by the Golgi guanine nucleotide exchange factor. The other ARFs are activated mainly by another mechanism, possibly phospholipid-mediated. Once activated, all of the membrane-associated, myristoylated ARFs promoted the recruitment of coatomer to about the same extent. Mammalian ARFs 1 and 5 were the most effective in promoting the recruitment of the AP-1 adaptor complex, whereas yeast ARF2 was the least active. These data indicate that the specificity for ARF action on the Golgi membranes is primarily determined by the Golgi guanine nucleotide exchange factor, which has a strong preference for myristoylated mammalian ARF1.

Abstract
hGHDAF28 is a chimaeric protein consisting of human growth hormone fused to a crippled signal sequence for glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor addition from decay-accelerating factor, and serves as a model for quality control of GPI-anchor addition. hGHDAF28 is retained in a pre-Golgi compartment and degraded intracellularly by a mechanism with similarity to that for other endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-retained proteins (Field, Moran, Lee, Keller and Caras (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 10830-10837). We have studied the specific pathway of degradation for hGHDAF28 using a number of compounds which affect protein folding and trafficking pathways in eukaryotic cells. We found that high concentrations of dithiothreitol (DTT) accelerated loss of hGHDAF28 by degradation from cell lysates, without promoting secretion or alteration of disulphide-bond distribution, in contrast to a number of other examples of ER-retained proteins where DTT alters disulphide-bond formation. Additionally, degradation of hGHDAF28 was sensitive to pH, being promoted at pH 6.0 and inhibited at pH 8.0; however, the latter effect was transient, indicating incomplete blockade. Degradation was also partially enhanced by depletion of ER calcium with thapsigargin, but this was again a partial and transient effect. Furthermore, degradation was temperature sensitive, with a gradual decrease in rate observed at lower temperatures. However, a sharp decrease in turnover between 15 degrees C and 20 degrees C, indicative of a requirement for transport to a post-ER compartment, was not observed. Degradation of hGHDAF28 was insensitive to treatment with nocodozole or compounds preventing cytoplasmic autophagy, suggesting that ER degradation is independent of classical autophagy and microtubule-dependent processes. In addition, disruption of N-glycosylation with tunicamycin, or inhibition of processing of immature N-glycan chains with castanospermine or deoxynojirimycin, had little effect on the stability of hGHDAF28, suggesting that disruption of the BiP/calnexin quality-control system by bulk cellular secretory proteins does not influence the ER-degradation pathway of hGHDAF28. Intermolecular hGHDAF28 cysteine bonds result in the formation of aggregates which are probably important in the retention of the molecule. The insensitivity of this structure to reduction in vivo, together with the enhanced degradation rate, indicates that DTT mediates its effect on stability via a molecule involved in degradation of hGHDAF28, possibly a thiol-sensitive protease.
