Abstract
Insulin is synthesized by pancreatic β-cells and stored into secretory granules (SGs). SGs fuse with the plasma membrane in response to a stimulus and deliver insulin to the bloodstream. The mechanism of how proinsulin and its processing enzymes are sorted and targeted from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to SGs remains mysterious. No cargo receptor for proinsulin has been identified. Here, we show that chromogranin (CG) proteins undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) at a mildly acidic pH in the lumen of the TGN, and recruit clients like proinsulin to the condensates. Client selectivity is sequence-independent but based on the concentration of the client molecules in the TGN. We propose that the TGN provides the milieu for converting CGs into a "cargo sponge" leading to partitioning of client molecules, thus facilitating receptor-independent client sorting. These findings provide a new receptor-independent sorting model in β-cells and many other cell types and therefore represent an innovation in the field of membrane trafficking.

Abstract
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4 ) causes hepatotoxicity in mammals, with its hepatocytic metabolism producing radicals that attack the intracellular membrane system and destabilize intracellular vesicle transport. Inhibition of intracellular transport causes lipid droplet retention and abnormal protein distribution. The intracellular transport of synthesized lipids and proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus is performed by coat complex II (COPII) vesicle transport, but how CCl4 inhibits COPII vesicle transport has not been elucidated. COPII vesicle formation on the ER membrane is initiated by the recruitment of Sar1 protein from the cytoplasm to the ER membrane, followed by that of the COPII coat constituent proteins (Sec23, Sec24, Sec13, and Sec31). In this study, we evaluated the effect of CCl4 on COPII vesicle formation using the RLC-16 rat hepatocyte cell line. Our results showed that CCl4 suppressed ER-Golgi transport in RLC-16 cells. Using a reconstituted system of rat liver tissue-derived cytoplasm and RLC-16 cell-derived ER membranes, CCl4 treatment inhibited the recruitment of Sar1 and Sec13 from the cytosolic fraction to ER membranes. CCl4 -induced changes in the ER membrane accordingly inhibited the accumulation of COPII vesicle-coated constituent proteins on the ER membrane, as well as the formation of COPII vesicles, which suppressed lipid and protein transport between the ER and Golgi apparatus. Our data suggest that CCl4 inhibits ER-Golgi intracellular transport by inhibiting COPII vesicle formation on the ER membrane in hepatocytes.

Abstract
Autosomal-dominant, early-onset DYT1 dystonia is associated with an in-frame deletion of a glutamic acid codon (ΔE) in the TOR1A gene. The gene product, torsinA, is an evolutionarily conserved AAA+ ATPase. The fact that constitutive secretion from patient fibroblasts is suppressed indicates that the ΔE-torsinA protein influences the cellular secretory machinery. However, which component is affected remains unclear. Prompted by recent reports that abnormal protein trafficking through the Golgi apparatus, the major protein-sorting center of the secretory pathway, is sometimes associated with a morphological change in the Golgi, we evaluated the influence of ΔE-torsinA on this organelle. Specifically, we examined its structure by confocal microscopy, in cultures of striatal, cerebral cortical and hippocampal neurons obtained from wild-type, heterozygous and homozygous ΔE-torsinA knock-in mice. In live neurons, the Golgi was assessed following uptake of a fluorescent ceramide analog, and in fixed neurons it was analyzed by immuno-fluorescence staining for the Golgi-marker GM130. Neither staining method indicated genotype-specific differences in the size, staining intensity, shape or localization of the Golgi. Moreover, no genotype-specific difference was observed as the neurons matured in vitro. These results were supported by a lack of genotype-specific differences in GM130 expression levels, as assessed by Western blotting. The Golgi was also disrupted by treatment with brefeldin A, but no genotype-specific differences were found in the immuno-fluorescence staining intensity of GM130. Overall, our results demonstrate that the ΔE-torsinA protein does not drastically influence Golgi morphology in neurons, irrespective of genotype, brain region (among those tested), or maturation stage in culture. While it remains possible that functional changes in the Golgi exist, our findings imply that any such changes are not severe enough to influence its morphology to a degree detectable by light microscopy.

Abstract
Many questions remain about how the stacked structure of the Golgi is formed and maintained. In our previous study, we challenged this question using tobacco BY-2 cells and revealed that, upon Brefeldin A (BFA) treatment, previously undescribed small punctate structures containing a particular subset of cis-Golgi proteins are formed adjacent to the ER-exit sites and act as scaffolds for Golgi regeneration after BFA removal. In this study, we analyzed these structures further. The proteins that localize to these punctate structures originate from the cis-most cisternae. 3D time-lapse observations show that the trans-Golgi marker is transported through these structures during Golgi regeneration. These data indicate that the cis-most cisternae have a specialized region that receives cargo from the ER, which becomes obvious upon BFA treatment. Expression of a dominant mutant form of SAR1 does not affect the formation of the punctate structures. We propose to call these punctate structures the 'Golgi entry core compartment' (GECCO). They act as receivers for the rest of the Golgi materials and are formed independently of the COPII machinery.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus plays essential roles in intracellular trafficking, protein and lipid modification, and polysaccharide synthesis in eukaryotic cells. It is well known for its unique stacked structure, which is conserved among most eukaryotes. However, the mechanisms of biogenesis and maintenance of the structure, which are deeply related to ER-Golgi and intra-Golgi transport systems, have long been mysterious. Now having extremely powerful microscopic technologies developed for live-cell imaging, the plant Golgi apparatus provides an ideal system to resolve the question. The plant Golgi apparatus has unique features that are not conserved in other kingdoms, which will also give new insights into the Golgi functions in plant life. In this review, we will summarize the features of the plant Golgi apparatus and transport mechanisms around it, with a focus on recent advances in Golgi biogenesis by live imaging of plants cells.

Abstract
The intracellular pathogenic bacterium Brucella generates a replicative vacuole (rBCV) derived from the endoplasmic reticulum via subversion of the host cell secretory pathway. rBCV biogenesis requires the expression of the Type IV secretion system (T4SS) VirB, which is thought to translocate effector proteins that modulate membrane trafficking along the endocytic and secretory pathways. To date, only a few T4SS substrates have been identified, whose molecular functions remain unknown. Here, we used an in silico screen to identify putative T4SS effector candidate proteins using criteria such as limited homology in other bacterial genera, the presence of features similar to known VirB T4SS effectors, GC content and presence of eukaryotic-like motifs. Using β-lactamase and CyaA adenylate cyclase reporter assays, we identified eleven proteins translocated into host cells by Brucella, five in a VirB T4SS-dependent manner, namely BAB1_0678 (BspA), BAB1_0712 (BspB), BAB1_0847 (BspC), BAB1_1671 (BspE) and BAB1_1948 (BspF). A subset of the translocated proteins targeted secretory pathway compartments when ectopically expressed in HeLa cells, and the VirB effectors BspA, BspB and BspF inhibited protein secretion. Brucella infection also impaired host protein secretion in a process requiring BspA, BspB and BspF. Single or combined deletions of bspA, bspB and bspF affected Brucella ability to replicate in macrophages and persist in the liver of infected mice. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that Brucella modulates secretory trafficking via multiple T4SS effector proteins that likely act coordinately to promote Brucella pathogenesis.

Abstract
Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative diseases characterised by the accumulation of misfolded prion protein (PrP(Sc)) in the brain. They are caused by the templated misfolding of normal cellular protein, PrP(C), by PrP(Sc). We have recently generated a unique cell system in which epitope-tagged PrP(C) competent to produce bona fide PrP(Sc) is expressed in neuroblastoma cells. Using this system we demonstrated that PrP(Sc) forms on the cell surface within minutes of prion exposure. Here, we describe the intracellular trafficking of newly formed PrP(Sc). After formation in GM1-enriched lipid microdomains at the plasma membrane, PrP(Sc) is rapidly internalised to early endosomes containing transferrin and cholera toxin B subunit. Following endocytosis, PrP(Sc) intracellular trafficking diverges: some is recycled to the plasma membrane via Rab11-labelled recycling endosomes; the remaining PrP(Sc) is subject to retromer-mediated retrograde transport to the Golgi. This pathway leads to lysosomal degradation, and we show that this is the dominant PrP(Sc) degradative mechanism in the early stages of prion infection.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus forms stacks of cisternae in many eukaryotic cells. However, little is known about how such a stacked structure is formed and maintained. To address this question, plant cells provide a system suitable for live-imaging approaches because individual Golgi stacks are well separated in the cytoplasm. We established tobacco BY-2 cell lines expressing multiple Golgi markers tagged by different fluorescent proteins and observed their responses to brefeldin A (BFA) treatment and BFA removal. BFA treatment disrupted cis, medial, and trans cisternae but caused distinct relocalization patterns depending on the proteins examined. Medial- and trans-Golgi proteins, as well as one cis-Golgi protein, were absorbed into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), but two other cis-Golgi proteins formed small punctate structures. After BFA removal, these puncta coalesced first, and then the Golgi stacks regenerated from them in the cis-to-trans order. We suggest that these structures have a property similar to the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment and function as the scaffold of Golgi regeneration.

Abstract
Herein, we report the stepwise transport of multiple plant Golgi membrane markers during disassembly of the Golgi apparatus in tobacco leaf epidermal cells in response to the induced expression of the GTP-locked Sar1p or Brefeldin A (BFA), and reassembly on BFA washout. The distribution of fluorescent Golgi-resident N-glycan processing enzymes and matrix proteins (golgins) with specific cis-trans-Golgi sub-locations was followed by confocal microscopy during disassembly and reassembly. The first event during Golgi disassembly was the loss of trans-Golgi enzymes and golgins from Golgi membranes, followed by a sequential redistribution of medial and cis-Golgi enzymes into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), whilst golgins were relocated to the ER or cytoplasm. This event was confirmed by fractionation and immuno-blotting. The sequential redistribution of Golgi components in a trans-cis sequence may highlight a novel retrograde trafficking pathway between the trans-Golgi and the ER in plants. Release of Golgi markers from the ER upon BFA washout occurred in the opposite sequence, with cis-matrix proteins labelling Golgi-like structures before cis/medial enzymes. Trans-enzyme location was preceded by trans-matrix proteins being recruited back to Golgi membranes. Our results show that Golgi disassembly and reassembly occur in a highly ordered fashion in plants.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus plays a central role in processing and sorting proteins and lipids in eukaryotic cells. Golgi compartments constantly exchange material with each other and with other cellular components, allowing them to maintain and reform distinct identities despite dramatic changes in structure and size during cell division, development, and osmotic stress. We have developed three minimal models of membrane and protein exchange in the Golgi-a discrete, stochastic model, a continuous ordinary differential equation model, and a continuous stochastic differential equation model-each based on two fundamental mechanisms: vesicle-coat-mediated selective concentration of cargoes and soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins during vesicle formation and SNARE-mediated selective fusion of vesicles. By exploring where the models differ, we hope to discover whether the discrete, stochastic nature of vesicle-mediated transport is likely to have appreciable functional consequences for the Golgi. All three models show similar ability to restore and maintain distinct identities over broad parameter ranges. They diverge, however, in conditions corresponding to collapse and reassembly of the Golgi. The results suggest that a continuum model provides a good description of Golgi maintenance but that considering the discrete nature of vesicle-based traffic is important to understanding assembly and disassembly of the Golgi. Experimental analysis validates a prediction of the models that altering guanine nucleotide exchange factor expression levels will modulate Golgi size.

Abstract
Cyclic GMP modulates gene expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in part by stimulating cGMP-dependent protein kinase I (PKGI) and the phosphorylation of transcription factors. In some cells, cGMP increases nuclear translocation of PKGI and PKGI-dependent phosphorylation of transcription regulators; however, these observations have been variable, and the mechanisms mediating nuclear PKGI translocation are incompletely understood. We tested the hypothesis that proteolytic cleavage of PKGI is required for cGMP-stimulated nuclear compartmentation of PKGI and phosphorylation of transcription factors. We detected an NH(2)-terminal PKGI fragment with leucine zipper domain immunoreactivity in the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum of SMCs, but only a COOH-terminal PKGI fragment containing the catalytic region (now termed PKGIgamma) was observed in the Golgi apparatus (GA) and nucleoplasm. Posttranslational PKGI processing in the GA was critical for nuclear compartmentation of PKGIgamma because GA disruption with nocodazol or brefeldin A inhibited PKGIgamma nuclear localization. PKGIgamma immunoreactivity was particularly abundant in the nucleolus of interphase SMCs where its colocalization with the nucleolar dense fibrillar component protein fibrillarin closely matched the level of nucleolar assembly. Purified nucleolar PKGIgamma enzyme activity was insensitive to cGMP stimulation, which is consistent with its lack of the NH(2)-terminal autoinhibitory domain. Mutation of a putative proteolytic cleavage region in PKGI inhibited cGMP-mediated phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding protein, cAMP response element-dependent transcription, and nuclear localization of PKGIgamma. These observations suggest that posttranslational modification of PKGI critically influences the nuclear translocation of PKGI and activities of cGMP in SMCs.

Abstract
The new Golgi in the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei grows near to the old and adjacent to the growing new endoplasmic reticulum exit site. Growth is now shown to be at least a two-stage process, in which a representative matrix marker (GRASP) and enzyme (GntB) are delivered to the site of assembly, followed approximately 10 min later by a COPI component (epsilon-COP) and a trans-Golgi network (TGN) marker (GRIP70). A secretory cargo marker (signal sequence-YFP) appeared early near the new endoplasmic reticulum exit site but did not enter the Golgi until the second stage. Together these data suggest that structural and enzymatic components of the new Golgi stack are laid down first, followed by those needed to move and sort the cargo passing through it.

Abstract
The subcompartmentalized structure of the Golgi apparatus contributes to efficient glycosylation in the secretory pathway. Subcompartmentalization driven by maturation relies primarily on constant and accurate vesicle-mediated local recycling of Golgi residents. The precision of this vesicle transport is dependent on the interplay between the key factors that mediate vesicle budding and fusion--the coat proteins and the SNARE fusion machinery. These alone, however, may not be sufficient to ensure establishment of compartments de novo, and additional regulatory mechanisms operate to modify their activity.

Abstract
It is unclear whether the mammalian Golgi apparatus can form de novo from the ER or whether it requires a preassembled Golgi matrix. As a test, we assayed Golgi reassembly after forced redistribution of Golgi matrix proteins into the ER. Two conditions were used. In one, ER redistribution was achieved using a combination of brefeldin A (BFA) to cause Golgi collapse and H89 to block ER export. Unlike brefeldin A alone, which leaves matrix proteins in relatively large remnant structures outside the ER, the addition of H89 to BFA-treated cells caused ER accumulation of all Golgi markers tested. In the other, clofibrate treatment induced ER redistribution of matrix and nonmatrix proteins. Significantly, Golgi reassembly after either treatment was robust, implying that the Golgi has the capacity to form de novo from the ER. Furthermore, matrix proteins reemerged from the ER with faster ER exit rates. This, together with the sensitivity of BFA remnants to ER export blockade, suggests that presence of matrix proteins in BFA remnants is due to cycling via the ER and preferential ER export rather than their stable assembly in a matrix outside the ER. In summary, the Golgi apparatus appears capable of efficient self-assembly.

Abstract
We examined the effects of specific inhibitors, brefeldin A (BFA) and okadaic acid (OA), on the ultrastructural organization of the Golgi apparatus and distributions of amylase, Golgi-associated proteins, and cathepsin D in the rat parotid acinar cells. BFA induced a rapid regression of the Golgi stack into rudimentary Golgi clusters composed of tubulovesicules, in parallel with a redistribution of the Golgi-resident proteins and a coat protein (beta-COP) into the region of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) or cytosol. The rapid disruption of the Golgi stack could also be induced by the effect of OA. However, redistribution of the Golgi proteins in rER or cytosol could not be observed and beta-COP was not dispersed but was retained on the rudimentary Golgi apparatus. These findings suggested that the mechanism of OA in inducing degeneration of the Golgi stack was markedly different from that of BFA. In addition, missorting of amylase, a Golgi protein, and cathepsin D into incorrect transport pathways is apparent in the course of the disruption of the Golgi stack by OA. These Golgi-disrupting effects are reversible and the reconstruction of the stacked structure of the Golgi apparatus started immediately after the removal of inhibitors. In the recovery processes, missorting was also observed until the integrated structure of the Golgi apparatus was completely reconstructed. This suggested that the integrated structure of the Golgi apparatus was quite necessary for the occurrence of normal secretory events, including proper sorting of molecules.

Abstract
The surfactant protein C precursor (proSP-C) is palmitoylated on two cysteines adjacent to its transmembrane domain. We showed previously that palmitoylation of proSP-C occurs in a postendoplasmic reticulum compartment and is not affected by the Golgi-disturbing agent brefeldin A (BFA). In contrast, the investigations presented here showed that BFA almost completely abolished palmitoylation of proSP-C mutants that contained alterations in the region between the palmitoylated cysteines and the transmembrane domain, including a Pro 30 to Leu mutant associated with interstitial lung disease. This differential effect of BFA was not caused by differences in the palmitoylation kinetics between wild-type proSP-C and the mutants and was not mimicked by nocodazole and monensin. However, differences between the mutants and wild-type proSP-C in the relative degree of processing suggest that BFA may unmask a difference in routing. This would imply that the amino acids just N-terminal of the transmembrane domain may be important for a proper sorting of proSP-C.

Abstract
The insulin-sensitive glucose transporter GLUT4 is translocated to the plasma membrane in response to insulin and recycled back to the intracellular store(s) after removal of the hormone. We have used clonal 3T3-L1 fibroblasts and adipocyte-like cells stably expressing wild-type GLUT4 to characterize (a) the intracellular compartment where the bulk of GLUT4 is intracellularly stored and (b) the mechanisms involved in the recycling of endocytosed GLUT4 to the store compartment. Surface internalized GLUT4 is targeted to a large, flat, fenestrated saccular structure resistant to brefeldin A that localized to the vicinity of the Golgi complex is sealed to endocytosed transferrin (GLUT4 storage compartment). Recycling of endocytosed GLUT4 was studied by comparing the cellular distributions of antibody/biotin tagged GLUT4 and GLUT4(Ser(5)), a mutant with the Phe(5)-Gln(6)-Gln(7)-Ile(8) inactivated by the substitution of Ser for Phe(5). Ablation of the Phe(5)-Gln(6)-Gln(7)-Ile(8) inhibits the recycling of endocytosed GLUT4 to the GLUT4 store compartment and results in its transport to late endosomes/lysosomes where it is rapidly degraded.

Abstract
Incubation of NRK cells for 30 to 45 minutes with 50 mM 2-deoxy-D-glucose (DOG) in glucose and pyruvate-free medium results in depletion of the cellular ATP pool and in specific disassembly of the cis-Golgi network (CGN), with the stack of Golgi cisternae (SGC) and the trans-Golgi network (TGN) remaining intact and sensitive to BFA. The disassembly of the CGN is mediated by long tubular structures extending outwards from the Golgi complex and involves microtubules. Upon removal of DOG and addition of glucose and pyruvate to the culture medium, the morphology of the CGN is slowly reestablished. Reconstruction of the CGN involves COPI/COPII-positive vesicles that resume the transport of proteins and in particular of CGN membrane proteins out of the ER. Exit of CGN membrane proteins from the ER is insensitive to BFA. In cells pretreated with nocodazole, the CGN membrane proteins are transported to the vicinity of the SGC fragments dispersed throughout the cytoplasm. Ultrastructural studies of cells engaged in the reconstruction of the CGN revealed that the CGN cisterna emerge as tubular structures extending from 0.2-0.3 microm uncoated vesicles prior to their organization on the cis-side of the SGC.

Abstract
Although membrane tubules can be found extending from, and associated with, the Golgi complex of eukaryotic cells, their physiological function has remained unclear. To gain insight into the biological significance of membrane tubules, we have developed methods for selectively preventing their formation. We show here that a broad range of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) antagonists not only arrest membrane tubule-mediated events that occur late in the assembly of the Golgi complex but also perturb its normal steady-state tubulovesicular architecture by inducing a reversible fragmentation into separate "mini-stacks." In addition, we show that these same compounds prevent the formation of membrane tubules from Golgi stacks in an in vitro reconstitution system. This in vitro assay was further used to demonstrate that the relevant PLA2 activity originates from the cytoplasm. Taken together, these results demonstrate that Golgi membrane tubules, sensitive to potent and selective PLA2 antagonists, mediate both late events in the reassembly of the Golgi complex and the dynamic maintenance of its steady-state architecture. In addition, they implicate a role for cytoplasmic PLA2 enzymes in mediating these membrane trafficking events.

Abstract
The process of stack coalescence, an important mechanism of Golgi recovery from mitosis, was examined using novel experimental paradigms. In living cells with disrupted (by nocodazole) microtubules, galactosyl transferase-GFP-labelled Golgi fragments constantly appeared, grew, sometimes moved with a speed of 1-2 microns/min, coalesced or gradually diminished and disappeared. The rate of Golgi fragment turnover and coalescence was highly balanced to maintain a constant number of Golgi units per cell. Moreover some Golgi islands appear and some received new GalTase-GFP after photobleaching of cell cytoplasm. Short tubules extending from the rims of scattered Golgi fragments frequently formed bridges between ministacks, inducing their coalescence. The frequency of coalescence could also be inhibited by disruption of actin microfilaments. After the Golgi redistribution into endoplasmic reticulum induced by brefeldin A, either the growth of small Golgi fragments or their coalescence leads to compartmentalized stack formation without the participation of microtubules. These results demonstrate that this coalescence between isolated Golgi stacks is microtubule-independent and could thus be mediated by membranous tubules.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic face of the Golgi contains a variety of proteins with coiled-coil domains. We identified one such protein in a yeast two-hybrid screen, using as bait the peripheral Golgi phosphatidylinositol(4,5)P2 5-phosphatase OCRL1 that is implicated in a human disease, the oculocerebrorenal syndrome. The approximately 2.8-kilobase mRNA is ubiquitously expressed and abundant in testis; it encodes a 731-amino acid protein with a predicted mass of 83 kDa. Antibodies against the sequence detect a novel approximately 84-kDa Golgi protein we termed golgin-84. Golgin-84 is an integral membrane protein with a single transmembrane domain close to its C terminus. In vitro, the protein inserts post-translationally into microsomal membranes with an N-cytoplasmic and C-lumen orientation. Cross-linking indicates that golgin-84 forms dimers, consistent with the prediction of an approximately 400-residue dimerizing coiled-coil domain in its N terminus. The dimerization potential is supported by a data base search that showed that the N-terminal 497 residues of golgin-84 contain a coiled-coil domain that when fused to the RET tyrosine kinase domain had the ability to activate it, forming the RET-II oncogene. Data base searching also indicates golgin-84 is similar in structure and sequence to giantin, a membrane protein that tethers coatamer complex I vesicles to the Golgi.

Abstract
In this study, we show that an inhibitor of sphingolipid biosynthesis, D,L-threo-1-phenyl-2- decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (PDMP), inhibits brefeldin A (BFA)-induced retrograde membrane transport from Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum (ER). If BFA treatment was combined with or preceded by PDMP administration to cells, disappearance of discrete Golgi structures did not occur. However, when BFA was allowed to exert its effect before PDMP addition, PDMP could not "rescue" the Golgi compartment. Evidence is presented showing that this action of PDMP is indirect, which means that the direct target is not sphingolipid metabolism at the Golgi apparatus. A fluorescent analogue of PDMP, 6-(N-[7-nitro-2,1, 3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl]amino)hexanoyl-PDMP (C6-NBD-PDMP), did not localize in the Golgi apparatus. Moreover, the effect of PDMP on membrane flow did not correlate with impaired C6-NBD-sphingomyelin biosynthesis and was not mimicked by exogenous C6-ceramide addition or counteracted by exogenous C6-glucosylceramide addition. On the other hand, the PDMP effect was mimicked by the multidrug resistance protein inhibitor MK571. The effect of PDMP on membrane transport correlated with modulation of calcium homeostasis, which occurred in a similar concentration range. PDMP released calcium from at least two independent calcium stores and blocked calcium influx induced by either extracellular ATP or thapsigargin. Thus, the biological effects of PDMP revealed a relation between three important physiological processes of multidrug resistance, calcium homeostasis, and membrane flow in the ER/ Golgi system.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus is a membrane bound organelle involved in synthesis of N-linked oligosaccharides which are trimmed and then lengthened by a series of sugar transferases adding N-acetylglucosamine, galactose and sialic acid in sequence. We previously published qualitative work which localized Galbeta1,4GlcNAc alpha2,6 sialyltransferase of rat hepatocytes to the trans cisternae and the trans Golgi network. We now report the use of combined stereological and immunoelectron microscopical techniques for mapping the Golgi stack composition and distribution of sialyltransferase protein in rat hepatocytes. The Golgi stack showed substantial variation in composition consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 cisternae with an average of 2.5 cisternae. Sialyltransferase labeling was mainly located in the central cisternae of the Golgi stacks irrespective of whether the stacks were oriented in a cis/trans direction using morphological criteria. Only 20% of the total sialyltransferase labeling was present in the transmost cisterna and 2% in the trans Golgi Network. The low labeling in the transmost cisterna was essentially due to the presence of a sialyltransferase negative cisterna. These data emphasize the importance of quantitation in obtaining a representative picture of Golgi enzyme distribution in three dimensions. They indicate that central cisternae, rather than the transmost cisterna and TGN, function in sialylation along the secretory pathway of rat hepatocytes.

Abstract
The organization and function of the Golgi complex was studied in normal rat kidney cells following disruption of the actin cytoskeleton induced by cytochalasin D. In cells treated with these reagents, the reticular and perinuclear Golgi morphology acquired a cluster shape restricted to the centrosome region. Golgi complex alteration affected all Golgi subcompartments as revealed by double fluorescence staining with antibodies to the cis/middle Mannosidase II and the trans-Golgi network TGN38 proteins or vital staining with the lipid derivate C6-NBD-ceramide. The ultrastructural and stereological analysis showed that the Golgi cisternae remained attached in a stacked conformation, but they were swollen and contained electron-dense intra-cisternal bodies. The Golgi complex cluster remained linked to microtubules since it was fragmented and dispersed after treatment with nocodazole. Moreover, the reassembly of Golgi fragments after the disruption of the microtubuli with nocodazole does not utilize the actin microfilaments. The actin microfilament requirement for the disassembly and reassembly of the Golgi complex and for the ER-Golgi vesicular transport were also studied. The results show that actin microfilaments are not needed for either the retrograde fusion of the Golgi complex with the endoplasmic reticulum promoted by brefeldin A or the anterograde reassembly after the removal of the drug, or the ER-Golgi transport of VSV-G glycoprotein. However, actin microfilaments are directly involved in the subcellular localization and the morphology of the Golgi complex.

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. Silletta, M.A. De Matteis, A. Braca, A. Colanzi, D. Pawlak, M.M. Rasenick, A. Luini, and D. Corda. 1995. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 92:7065-7069). 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
Previous studies have demonstrated that neonatal rat hepatocytes cultured in a serum-free medium adopt a fibroblast-like morphology and form a well-developed vimentin network. By immunoblotting, phase-contrast microscopy, and immunolocalization studies we report here that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) induces a pronounced migratory/scatter phenotype in neonatal hepatocytes in primary culture. These fibroblast-like cells are highly elongated and adopt a pronounced spindle shape in the presence of this growth factor. Most of them coexpress vimentin and cytokeratin intermediate filaments. Both EGF and TGF-beta1 also induced vimentin expression in cytokeratin-positive cells but this effect was not correlated with a change of epithelial phenotype. Only in DMSO-supplemented cultures was vimentin expression of hepatocytes inhibited and no coexpression was observed in the presence of this factor. Remarkably, the effect induced by HGF was totally inhibited when DMSO, TGF-beta1, or EGF was added to HGF-supplemented cultures. Epithelial sheets of well-defined hepatocytes were observed with these combinations although the complete epithelial morphology was achieved by combining DMSO with a growth factor. Taken together these results suggest that growth and differentiation factors modulate the migratory effect of HGF/SF in hepatocytes.

Abstract
Infection of Vero cells with poliovirus results in complete disassembly of the Golgi complex. Milestones of the process of disassembly are the release to the cytosol of the beta-COP bound to Golgi membranes, the disruption of the cis-Golgi network into fragments scattered throughout the cytoplasm, and the disassembly of the stacked cisternae by a process mediated by long tubular structures. Transient expression of the viral protein 2B in COS-7 cells also causes the disassembly of the Golgi complex by a process preceded by the accumulation of the protein in the Golgi area. Vero cells infected for 3 h show no recognizable Golgi complexes at the ultrastructural level and display an enormously swollen endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with extensive areas of its surface heavily coated. Ro-090179 (Ro), a flavonoid isolated from the herb Agastache rugosa, provokes the specific swelling and disruption of the Golgi complex and strongly inhibits poliovirus infection. Ro provokes the swelling and the disruption of the stacked cisternae and trans-Golgi elements without affecting the cis-most Golgi cisternae much. Moreover, Ro inhibits the fusion of the Golgi complex with the ER in cells treated with brefeldin A and provokes the accumulation of the intermediate compartment membrane protein p58 into ERD2-positive Golgi elements but has no effect on the anterograde transport involved in protein secretion. Our results indicate that the secretory pathway and specifically the Golgi complex are preferential targets of poliovirus.

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
We have recently described a novel enzymatic mono-ADP-ribosyl transfer reaction induced by brefeldin A, a well characterized inhibitor of vesicular traffic, which selectively modifies two cytosolic proteins of 38 kDa (p38) and 50 kDa (BARS-50). p38 was identified as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), a glycolytic enzyme and a multifunctional protein involved in several cellular processes; BARS-50 might be a novel G protein, since it is able to bind GTP and the beta gamma subunit of G proteins. We have characterized this enzymatic activity and screened in vitro the effects of different drugs belonging to the coumarine (dicumarol, coumermicin A1 and novobiocin) and quinone (ilimaquinones, benzoquinones and naphtoquinones) class. These drugs blocked the BFA-dependent mono-ADP-ribosylation, showed remarkable effects on Golgi morphology in control cells, and antagonized the tubular reticular redistribution of the Golgi complex in brefeldin A treated cells (see papers of Corda and Colanzi in this issue) suggesting a possible role for ADP-ribosylation in both the cellular effects of brefeldin A and the maintenance of the structure/function of the Golgi complex.

Abstract
The human mal gene, identified during a search for cDNAs selectively expressed during T-cell development, encodes a highly hydrophobic protein belonging to a group of proteins, termed proteolipids, characterized by their unusual property of being soluble in organic solvents used to extract cell lipids. To study the localization of the MAL protein we have prepared stable transfectants expressing the MAL protein tagged with a c-myc epitope (MAL/c-myc) using human epithelial A-498 cells. Immunofluorescence analysis suggested that MAL/c-myc is localized mainly to cholesterol-enriched structures with a post-Golgi location and, at low levels, in early endosomes. Moreover, extraction of A-498 cell membranes with Triton X-100 (TX100) and fractionation by centrifugation to equilibrium in sucrose gradients demonstrated the presence of MAL/c-myc in the detergent-insoluble buoyant fraction, known to be enriched in glycolipids and cholesterol. To compare the behaviour of MAL in T-cells with that in epithelial A-498 cells, we prepared stably transfected cells expressing MAL/c-myc using human Jurkat T-cells. When TX100 extracts from Jurkat cells were subjected to centrifugation to equilibrium in sucrose gradients we found MAL exclusively in the floating fractions, together with molecules characteristic of the T-cell insoluble complexes, such as the tyrosine kinase p56lck, the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein CD59 and the ganglioside GM1. These results, taken together, indicate that the MAL proteolipid is a component of the detergent-resistant membrane microdomains present in T-lymphocytes, and suggest that MAL might play a role in modulating the function of these microdomains during T-cell differentiation.

Abstract
In this study we have used wortmannin, a highly specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase, to assess the role of this enzyme on GLUT1 glucose carrier distribution and glucose transport activity in myoblasts from two skeletal-muscle cell lines, L6E9 and Sol8. As detected in L6E9 cells, myoblasts exhibited basal and insulin-stimulated PI 3-kinase activities. Incubation of intact myoblasts with wortmannin resulted in a marked inhibition of both basal and insulin-stimulated PI 3-kinase activities. L6E9 and Sol8 myoblasts showed basal and insulin-stimulated glucose transport activities, both of them inhibited by wortmannin in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 approximately 10-20 nM). Concomitantly, immunofluorescence analysis revealed that 1 h treatment with wortmannin led to a dramatic intracellular accumulation of GLUT1 carriers (the main glucose transporter expressed in L6E9 and Sol8 myoblasts) in both cell systems. The effect of wortmannin on GLUT1 cellular redistribution was independent of the presence of insulin. The cellular distribution of two structural plasma-membrane components such as beta 1-integrin or the alpha 1 subunit of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase were unaffected by wortmannin in both the absence and the presence of insulin. As a whole, our results indicate that PI 3-kinase is necessary to basal and insulin-stimulated glucose transport in L6E9 and Sol8 myoblasts. Moreover, immunofluorescence assays suggest that in both cellular models there is a constitutive GLUT 1 trafficking pathway (independent of insulin) that involves PI 3-kinase and which, when blocked, locks GLUT1 in a perinuclear compartment.

Abstract
A cDNA encoding rat CaBP1 has been isolated and sequenced. The deduced polypeptide chain consists of 440 amino acids including two internal thioredoxin-like domains and a C-terminal KDEL retention/retrieval signal. Regarding the high degree of identity to the hamster protein P5, CaBP1 is considered to be the homologous rat protein. Previous work has suggested that CaBP1 is a resident luminal protein of the intermediate compartment (Schweizer, A., Peter, F., Nguyen Van, P., Soling, H.D. and Hauri, H.P. (1993) Eur. J. Cell Biol. 60, 366–370). Our conclusion that CaBP1 is a resident protein of the endoplasmic reticulum and not of the intermediate compartment is based on three different approaches: subcellular fractionation, indirect immunofluorescence and overexpression of CaBP1. Subcellular fractionation of Vero cells in a velocity controlled step gradient led to copurification of CaBP1-containing vesicles and several marker proteins for the ER including calreticulin and alpha-SSRP. The intermediate compartment, as defined by a monoclonal antibody against the marker protein p53 (ERGIC-53), could be separated from these ER markers. Double immunofluorescence analysed by laser scanning microscopy showed no significant colocalization between CaBP1 and p53, but between CaBP1 and calreticulin. In addition experiments, Vero cells were infected with VSV tsO45. At 15 degrees C the VSV-G protein accumulated in punctuate structures representing the intermediate compartment, while CaBP1 maintained its original reticular localization. Even after high-level overexpression in COS cells, CaBP1 was not detected in the intermediate compartment, but was efficiently retained in the ER as judged by light microscopy.

Abstract
Human autoantibodies offer unique tools for the study of cellular constituents since they usually recognize highly conserved components, the most difficult to detect due to their low immunogenicity. The serum from a patient with Sjögren's syndrome (RM serum) showing a very high reactivity to the Golgi complex has been shown to immunoprecipitate and to immunodetect by Western blotting experiments a protein mol wt 210,000 (p210) that was shown to be peripheral and cytoplasmically disposed. A close examination of the p210 labeling revealed some differences with Golgi markers: RM serum staining was slightly more extensive than several Golgi markers and showed a discontinuous or granular appearance. Nocodazole induced a specific and early segregation of many p210-associated vesicles or tubules from Golgi apparatus. Upon brefeldin A treatment, p210 did not redistribute in the ER as did other Golgi proteins. In contrast, it exhibited a vesicular pattern reminiscent to that displayed by proteins residing in the intermediate compartment. Double staining immunofluorescence using the RM serum and the marker of the intermediate compartment, p58, revealed segregation of both proteins in control conditions but colocalization in BFA-treated cells. We have further demonstrated by combining different drug treatments that p210-containing elements in brefeldin A-treated cells belong indeed to the intermediate compartment. Experiments on brefeldin A recovery suggested that these p210 elements might play a role in reformation and repositioning of the Golgi apparatus. Ultrastructural localization performed by immunoperoxidase staining allowed us to establish that p210 interacted with the external side of an abundant tubulo-vesicular system on the cis side of the Golgi complex which extended to connecting structures and vesicles between saccules or stacks of cisternae, p210 appears to be a novel protein residing in the cis-Golgi network that may cycle between the Golgi apparatus and the intermediate compartment.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus is a dynamic organelle whose structure is sensitive to vesicular traffic and to cell cycle control. We have examined the potential role for rab1a, a GTPase previously associated with ER to Golgi and intra-Golgi transport, in the formation and maintenance of Golgi structure. Bacterially expressed, recombinant rab1a protein was microinjected into rat embryonic fibroblasts, followed by analysis of Golgi morphology by fluorescence and electron microscopy. Three recombinant proteins were tested: wild-type rab, mutant rab1a(S25N), a constitutively GDP-bound form (Nuoffer, C., H. W. Davidson, J. Matteson, J. Meinkoth, and W. E. Balch, 1994. J. Cell Biol. 125: 225-237), and mutant rab1a(N124I) defective in guanine nucleotide binding. Microinjection of wild-type rab1a protein or a variety of negative controls (injection buffer alone or activated ras protein) did not affect the appearance of the Golgi, as visualized by immunofluorescence of alpha-mannosidase II (Man II), used as a Golgi marker. In contrast, microinjection of the mutant forms promoted the disassembly of the Golgi stacks into dispersed vesicular structures visualized by immunofluorescence. When S25N-injected cells were analyzed by EM after immunoperoxidase labeling, Man II was found in isolated ministacks and large vesicular elements that were often surrounded by numerous smaller unlabeled vesicles resembling carrier vesicles. Golgi disassembly caused by rab1a mutants differs from BFA-induced disruption, since beta-COP remains membrane associated, and Man II does not redistribute to the ER. BFA can still cause these residual Golgi elements to fuse and disperse, albeit at a slower rate. Moreover, BFA recovery is incomplete in the presence of rab1 mutants or GTP gamma S. We conclude that GTP exchange and hydrolysis by GTPases, specifically rab1a, are required to form and maintain normal Golgi stacks. The similarity of Golgi disassembly seen with rab1a mutants to that occurring during mitosis, may point to a molecular basis involving rab1a for fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus during cell division.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody CC92 (IgM), raised against a fraction of rat liver enriched in Golgi membranes, recognizes a novel Endo H-resistant 74-kD membrane glycoprotein (gp74). The bulk of gp74 is confined to the cis-Golgi network (CGN). Outside the Golgi gp74 is found in tubulovesicular structures and ER foci. In cells incubated at 37 degrees C the majority of gp74 is segregated from the intermediate compartment (IC) marker p58. However, in cells treated with organelle perturbants such as low temperature, BFA, and [AIF4]- the patterns of the two proteins become indistinguishable. Both proteins are retained in the Golgi complex at 20 degrees C and in the IC at 15 degrees C. Incubation of cells with BFA results in relocation of gp74 to p58 positive IC elements. [AIF4]- induces the redistribution of gp74 from the Golgi to p58-positive vesicles and does not retard the translocation of gp74 to IC elements in cells treated with BFA. Disruption of microtubules by nocodazol results in the rapid disappearance of the Golgi elements stained by gp74 and redistribution of the protein into vesicle-like structures. The responses of gp74 to cell perturbants are in sharp contrast with those of cis/middle and trans-Golgi resident proteins whose location is not affected by low temperatures or [AIF4]-, are translocated to the ER upon addition of BFA, and stay in slow disintegrating Golgi elements in cells treated with nocodazol. The results suggest that gp74 is an itinerant protein that resides most of the time in the CGN and cycles through the ER/IC following the pathway used by p58.

Abstract
We have reported that MG160, an intrinsic membrane sialoglycoprotein of the Golgi apparatus (GA), resides in the medial cisternae of the organelle (Gonatas et al. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 646–653). In order to resolve the question whether MG160 acquires sialic acid residues in the trans cisternae or trans-Golgi network (TGN) prior to its retrograde transport, we have examined the effects of brefeldin A (BFA) on the post-translational processing of MG160, and the distribution of internalized wheat germ agglutinin covalently linked with HRP (WGA-HRP), which labels the TGN (Gonatas et al. (1977) J. Cell Biol. 73, 1–13). In BFA-treated PC12 cells, MG160 acquires resistance to endo H, but fails to be sialylated. This effect occurs in parallel with the redistribution of MG160 into an ER compartment dispersed throughout the cytoplasm including the nuclear envelope, and the collapse of the WGA-HRP-labelled TGN into vesicles and tubules surrounding the centriole. These results suggest that MG160 is not sialylated in BFA-treated cells because it is sequestered from the sialyltransferase enzyme(s), presumably located in the TGN, and provide evidence supporting the hypothesis for a retrograde transport pathway that recycles resident GA proteins, including MG160, between the Golgi cisternae and the TGN. To examine further the above hypothesis we studied cells treated with BFA and then allowed to recover from the effect of the drug for various lengths of time. After 15 minutes of recovery, cisternae of the Golgi apparatus, typically found in the pericentriolar region, are labeled by both MG160 and WGA-HRP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The relationship between adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-mediated Cl- secretion and the cellular location of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) was determined in both polarized (Cl.19A) and unpolarized (parental) HT-29 colonocytes expressing similar levels of CFTR mRNA and protein. CFTR immunolocalized to the apical membrane domain of polarized colonocytes exhibiting cAMP-responsive Cl- secretion. In contrast, CFTR staining was perinuclear in unpolarized colonocytes, which gave little or no cAMP-stimulated Cl- conductance responses. Thus cAMP-stimulated Cl- secretion coincided with an apical localization of CFTR. Brefeldin A (BFA) was used to perturb glycoprotein targeting in these cells. In polarized colonocytes, BFA caused a reversible, time-dependent decrease in the Cl-conductance response to cAMP but not Ca2+. Apical CFTR redistributed into large coalesced intracellular vesicles, located within the same plane as the microtubule organizing center, a marker for the trans-Golgi network (TGN). In preconfluent monolayers or unpolarized HT-29 cells, BFA had no effect on CFTR staining, which remained perinuclear. Mature, Golgi-processed CFTR protein was isolated from both polarized and unpolarized colonocytes. Thus the mechanism for polarization-dependent apical membrane CFTR targeting and the acquisition of cAMP-dependent Cl- secretion lies at or beyond the late Golgi-TGN in epithelial cells.

Abstract
Picornaviruses are among the best understood animal viruses in molecular terms. A number of important human and animal pathogens are members of the Picornaviridae family. The genome organization, the different steps of picornavirus growth and numerous compounds that have been reported as inhibitors of picornavirus functions are reviewed. The picornavirus particles and several agents that interact with them have been solved at atomic resolution, leading to computer-assisted drug design. Picornavirus inhibitors are useful in aiding a better understanding of picornavirus biology. In addition, some of them are promising therapeutic agents. Clinical efficacy of agents that bind to picornavirus particles has already been demonstrated.

Abstract
Beta 1,4 galactosyl- and alpha 2,6 sialyltransferase (gal-T EC 2.4.1.22 and sialyl-T EC 2.4.99.1) sequentially elongate and terminate complex N-glycan chains of glycoproteins. Both enzymes reside in trans Golgi cisternae; their ultrastructural relationship, however, is unknown. To delineate their respective Golgi compartment(s) we conducted a double label immunofluorescent study by conventional and confocal laser scanning microscopy in HepG2, HeLa, and other cells in presence of Golgi-disturbing agents. Polyclonal, peptide-specific antibodies to human sialyl-T expressed as a beta-galactosidase-sialyl-T fusion protein in E. coli were developed and applied together with mABs to human milk gal-T. In untreated HepG2 and HeLa cells Golgi morphology identified by immunofluorescent labeling of sialyl-T and gal-T, respectively, was nearly identical. Treatment of cells with brefeldin A (BFA) led to rapid and coordinated disappearance of immunostaining of both enzymes; after BFA washout, vesicular structures reappeared which first stained for gal-T followed by sialyl-T; in the reassembled Golgi apparatus sialyl-T and gal-T were co-localized again. In contrast, monensin treatment produced a reversible swelling and scattering of gal-T positive Golgi elements while sialyl-T positive structures showed little change. Treatment with nocodazole led to dispersal of Golgi elements in which gal-T and sialyl-T remained co-localized. Treatment with chloroquine affected Golgi structures less than monensin and led to condensation of gal-T positive and to slight enlargement of sialyl-T positive structures. Sequential recovery from BFA of gal-T and sialyl-T and their segregation by monensin suggest that these enzymes are targeted to different Golgi subcompartments.

Abstract
We have identified a novel natural metabolite, ilimaquinone (IQ), from sea sponges that causes Golgi membranes to break down completely in vivo into small vesicular structures (called vesiculated Golgi membranes [VGMs]). Under these conditions, transport of newly synthesized proteins from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cis-Golgi-derived VGMs is unaffected; however, further transport along the secretory pathway is blocked. Upon removal of the drug, VGMs reassemble rapidly into a Golgi complex, and protein transport is restored. By employing a cell-free system that reconstitutes vesicular transport between successive Golgi cisternae, we provide evidence that the inhibition of protein transport by IQ is specifically due to an inhibition of transport vesicle formation. In addition, like brefeldin A (BFA), IQ treatment prevents the association of beta-COP and ADP-ribosylation factor to the Golgi membranes; however, unlike BFA treatment, there is no retrograde transport of Golgi enzymes into ER.

Abstract
We have isolated a cDNA clone (mERD2) for the mammalian (bovine) homologue of the yeast ERD2 gene, which codes for the yeast HDEL receptor. The deduced amino acid sequence bears extensive homology to its yeast counterpart and is almost identical to a previously described human sequence. The sequence predicts a very hydrophobic protein with multiple membrane spanning domains, as confirmed by analysis of the in vitro translation product. The protein encoded by mERD2 (p23) has widespread occurrence, being present in all the cell types examined. p23 was localized to the cis-side of the Golgi apparatus and to a spotty intermediate compartment which mediates ER to Golgi transport. A majority of the intracellular staining could be accumulated in the intermediate compartment by a low temperature (15 degrees C) or brefeldin A. During recovery from these treatments, the spotty intermediate compartment staining of p23 was shifted to the perinuclear staining of the Golgi apparatus and tubular structures marked by p23 were observed. These tubular structures may serve to mediate transport between the intermediate compartment and the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
1. Addition of brefeldin A (BFA) to BHK cells incubated for 4 h with [3H]acetate led to a 3-4-fold increase in incorporation of label into sphingomyelin, monoglucosylceramide and cholesterol ester compared with untreated controls. There was a similar increase in incorporation of [3H]choline into sphingomyelin. The level of cholesterol ester increased 3-fold when BFA was added to cells labelled to equilibrium with [3H]acetate, but no statistically significant changes in the levels of other lipids were seen. 2. BFA appeared to act by diverting incorporation of acetate into sphingolipids and cholesterol ester at the expense of phosphatidylcholine (decreased by up to 15%), cholesterol (decreased by 30-40%) and triacylglycerol (decreased by 35-50%). 3. Forskolin (100 microM) prevented the changes in labelling induced by 0.25 micrograms of BFA/ml, but in the presence of 1 micrograms of BFA/ml it had no effect on sphingomyelin and triacylglycerol labelling and only partly blocked the effects of BFA on labelling of cholesterol and cholesterol ester. 4. None of the labelled sphingomyelin was degraded in BFA-treated cells which were subsequently exposed to an extracellular sphingomyelinase, showing that all the newly synthesized sphingomyelin remained inside the cells. Determinations of phospholipid phosphorus in unlabelled cells confirmed that, in the presence of BFA, no newly synthesized sphingomyelin was able to reach the cell surface, supporting the idea that sphingomyelin normally depends on vesicular transport for its passage to the plasma membrane. 5. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that cholesterol synthesis and esterification processes in BHK cells are sensitive to the plasma-membrane deficit of sphingomyelin caused by BFA.

Abstract
Brefeldin A (BFA) is a macrolide antibiotic that has multiple targets in vesicular transport and blocks membrane traffic between the cis- and trans-Golgi compartments, leading to the disruption of the trans-Golgi apparatus (for a review see Pelham, 1991, Cell 67, 449-451). Consequently, BFA interferes with the maturation of viral glycoproteins and suppresses the formation of infectious viruses that contain a lipid envelope. We report that this antibiotic strongly inhibits poliovirus replication even though this virus lacks a lipid envelope and does not encode any glycoproteins. Addition of BFA from the beginning of poliovirus infection blocks the synthesis of late proteins but has no effect on p220 cleavage, indicating that the input viral RNA is translated to produce active 2Apro. The presence of BFA at later times has no effect on poliovirus protein synthesis, indicating that this step is not a direct target for the antibiotic. Indeed, the target of BFA is viral RNA synthesis, because addition of the antibiotic at any time after poliovirus infection drastically reduces the incorporation of labeled uridine into poliovirus RNA. Both plus- and minus-stranded RNA syntheses are diminished when BFA is present from the beginning of infection, but plus-stranded RNA synthesis is more affected when the inhibitor is added at later times. The replication of poliovirus RNA takes place in close association with membrane vesicles that fill the cytoplasm of the infected cells. Little is known about the origin and function of these vesicles that form part of the viral replication complexes. Our findings suggest that the replication of poliovirus genomes may require the maturation of membranous vesicles from a vesicular compartment that is affected by BFA. The effects of BFA on late protein synthesis by other animal viruses varies according to the virus species examined. Among picornaviruses, rhinoviruses are sensitive to the antibiotic, whereas encephalomyocarditis virus is resistant. A negative-stranded RNA virus such as vesicular stomatitis is blocked by BFA, whereas vaccinia virus, a cytoplasmic DNA virus, is resistant.

Abstract
We have studied the effects of brefeldin A (BFA) on the tubular endosomes in AtT20 and HeLa cells (Tooze, J., and M. Hollinshead. 1991. J. Cell Biol. 115:635-653) by electron microscopy of cells labeled with three endocytic tracers, HRP, BSA-gold, and transferrin conjugated to HRP, and by immunofluorescence microscopy. For the latter we used antibodies specific for transferrin receptor, and, in the case of AtT20 cells, also antibodies specific for synaptophysin. In HeLa cells BFA at concentrations ranging from 1 micrograms to 10 micrograms/ml causes the dispersed patches of network of preexisting tubular early endosomes to be incorporated within 5 min into tubules approximately 50 nm in diameter but up to 40-50 microns long. These long, straight tubular endosomes are aligned along microtubules; they branch relatively infrequently to form an open network or reticulum extending from the cell periphery to the microtubule organizing center (MTOC). As the incubation with BFA is prolonged beyond 5 min, a steady state is reached in which many tubules are located in a dense network enclosing the centrioles, with branches extending in a more open network to the periphery. This effect of BFA, which is fully reversed within 15-30 min of washing out, is inhibited by pre-incubating the cells with sodium azide and 2-deoxy-D-glucose. In AtT20 cells BFA at 5 micrograms/ml or above causes the same sorts of changes, preexisting tubular endosomes are recruited into a more continuous endosomal network, and there is a massive accumulation of this network around the MTOC. Maintenance of the BFA-induced endosomal reticulum in both cell types is dependent upon the integrity of microtubules. In AtT20 cells BFA at 1 microgram/ml has no detectable effect on the early endosomal system but the Golgi stacks are converted to clusters of tubules and vesicles that remain in the region of the MTOC during prolonged incubations. Therefore, the Golgi apparatus in these cells is more sensitive to BFA than the early endosomes. The morphological evidence suggests that all the tubular early endosomes in BFA-treated HeLa and AtT20 cells are linked together in a single reticulum. Consistent with this, incubations as short as 1-3 min with 10 or 20 mg/ml HRP in the medium result in the entire endosomal reticulum in most of the BFA-treated cells being filled with HRP reaction product.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
