Abstract
Cargo traffic through the Golgi apparatus is mediated by cisternal maturation, but it remains largely unclear how the cis-cisternae, the earliest Golgi sub-compartment, is generated and how the Golgi matures into the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Here, we use high-speed and high-resolution confocal microscopy to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of a diverse set of proteins that reside in and around the Golgi in budding yeast. We find many mobile punctate structures that harbor yeast counterparts of mammalian endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) proteins, which we term 'yeast ERGIC'. It occasionally exhibits approach and contact behavior toward the ER exit sites and gradually matures into the cis-Golgi. Upon treatment with the Golgi-disrupting agent brefeldin A, the ERGIC proteins form larger aggregates corresponding to the Golgi entry core compartment in plants, while cis- and medial-Golgi proteins are absorbed into the ER. We further analyze the dynamics of several late Golgi proteins to better understand the Golgi-TGN transition. Together with our previous studies, we demonstrate a detailed spatiotemporal profile of the entire cisternal maturation process from the ERGIC to the Golgi and further to the TGN.

Abstract
Accurately measuring the ability of the K/HDEL receptor (ERD2) to retain the ER cargo Amy-HDEL has questioned earlier results on which the popular receptor recycling model is based upon. Here we demonstrate that ERD2 Golgi-retention, rather than fast ER export supports its function. Ligand-induced ERD2 redistribution is only observed when the C-terminus is masked or mutated, compromising the signal that prevents Golgi-to-ER transport of the receptor. Forcing COPI mediated retrograde transport destroys receptor function, but introducing ER-to-Golgi export or cis-Golgi retention signals re-activate ERD2 when its endogenous Golgi-retention signal is masked or deleted. We propose that ERD2 remains fixed as a Golgi gatekeeper, capturing K/HDEL proteins when they arrive and releasing them again into a subdomain for retrograde transport back to the ER. An in vivo ligand:receptor ratio far greater than 100 to 1 strongly supports this model, and the underlying mechanism appears to be extremely conserved across kingdoms.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus represents a central compartment of membrane traffic. Its apparent architecture, however, differs considerably among species, from unstacked and scattered cisternae in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to beautiful ministacks in plants and further to gigantic ribbon structures typically seen in mammals. Considering the well-conserved functions of the Golgi, its fundamental structure must have been optimized despite seemingly different architectures. In addition to the core layers of cisternae, the Golgi is usually accompanied by next-door compartments on its cis and trans sides. The trans-Golgi network (TGN) can be now considered as a compartment independent from the Golgi stack. On the cis side, the intermediate compartment between the ER and the Golgi (ERGIC) has been known in mammalian cells, and its functional equivalent is now suggested for yeast and plant cells. High-resolution live imaging is extremely powerful for elucidating the dynamics of these compartments and has revealed amazing similarities in their behaviors, indicating common mechanisms conserved along the long course of evolution. From these new findings, I would like to propose reconsideration of compartments and suggest a new concept to describe their roles comprehensively around the Golgi and in the post-Golgi trafficking.

Abstract
ER lumenal proteins have a K(H)DEL motif at their C-terminus. This is recognized by the ERD2 receptor (KDEL receptor in animals), which localizes to the Golgi apparatus and serves to capture escaped ER lumenal proteins. ERD2-ligand complexes are then transported back to the ER via COPI coated vesicles. The neutral pH of the ER causes the ligands to dissociate with the receptor being returned to the Golgi. According to this generally accepted scenario, ERD2 cycles between the ER and the Golgi, although it has been found to have a predominant Golgi localization. In this short article, we present a model for the functioning of ERD2 receptors in higher plants that explains why it is difficult to detect fluorescently tagged ERD2 proteins in the ER. The model assumes that the residence time for ERD2 in the ER is very brief and restricted to a specific domain of the ER. This is the small disc of ER immediately subjacent to the first cis-cisterna of the Golgi stack, representing specialized ER export and import sites and therefore constituting part of what is known as the "secretory unit", a mobile aggregate of ER domain plus Golgi stack. ERD2 molecules in the ER domain of the secretory unit may be small in number, transient and optically difficult to differentiate from the larger population of ERD2 molecules in the overlying Golgi stack in the confocal microscope.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum protein of 29 kDa (ERp29) is a thioredoxin-homologous endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein that regulates the biogenesis of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). ERp29 may promote ENaC cleavage and increased open probability by directing ENaC to the Golgi via coat complex II (COP II) during biogenesis. We hypothesized that ERp29's C-terminal KEEL ER retention motif, a KDEL variant that is associated with less robust ER retention, strongly influences its regulation of ENaC biogenesis. As predicted by our previous work, depletion of Sec24D, the cargo recognition component of COP II that we previously demonstrated to interact with ENaC, decreases ENaC functional expression without altering β-ENaC expression at the apical surface. We then tested the influence of KDEL ERp29, which should be more readily retrieved from the proximal Golgi by the KDEL receptor (KDEL-R), and a KEEL-deleted mutant (ΔKEEL ERp29), which should not interact with the KDEL-R. ENaC functional expression was decreased by ΔKEEL ERp29 overexpression, whereas KDEL ERp29 overexpression did not significantly alter ENaC functional expression. Again, β-ENaC expression at the apical surface was unaltered by either of these manipulations. Finally, we tested whether the KDEL-R itself has a role in ENaC forward trafficking and found that KDEL-R depletion decreases ENaC functional expression, again without altering β-ENaC expression at the apical surface. These results support the hypothesis that the KDEL-R plays a role in the biogenesis of ENaC and in its exit from the ER through its association with COP II. The cleavage of the extracellular loops of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) α and γ subunits increases the channel's open probability and function. During ENaC biogenesis, such cleavage is regulated by the novel 29-kDa chaperone of the ER, ERp29. Our data here are consistent with the hypothesis that ERp29 must interact with the KDEL receptor to exert its regulation of ENaC biogenesis. The classically described role of the KDEL receptor is to retrieve ER-retained species from the proximal Golgi and return them to the ER via coat complex I machinery. In contrast, our data suggest a novel and important role for the KDEL receptor in the biogenesis and forward trafficking of ENaC.

Abstract
Accumulation of soluble proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of plants is mediated by a receptor termed ER RETENTION DEFECTIVE2 (ERD2) or K/HDEL receptor. Using two gain-of-function assays and by complementing loss of function in Nicotiana benthamiana, we discovered that compromising the lumenal N terminus or the cytosolic C terminus with fluorescent fusions abolishes its biological function and profoundly affects its subcellular localization. Based on the confirmed asymmetrical topology of ERD2, we engineered a new fluorescent ERD2 fusion protein that retains biological activity. Using this fusion, we show that ERD2 is exclusively detected at the Golgi apparatus, unlike nonfunctional C-terminal fusions, which also label the ER. Moreover, ERD2 is confined to early Golgi compartments and does not show ligand-induced redistribution to the ER. We show that the cytosolic C terminus of ERD2 plays a crucial role in its function. Two conserved leucine residues that do not correspond to any known targeting motifs for ER-Golgi trafficking were shown to be essential for both ERD2 Golgi residency and its ability to mediate ER retention of soluble ligands. The results suggest that anterograde ER to Golgi transport of ERD2 is either extremely fast, well in excess of the bulk flow rate, or that ERD2 does not recycle in the way originally proposed.

Abstract
Despite its discovery more than three decades ago and well-established role in protein sorting and trafficking in the early secretory pathway, the intermediate compartment (IC) has remained enigmatic. The prevailing view is that the IC evolved as a specialized organelle to mediate long-distance endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–Golgi communication in metazoan cells, but is lacking in other eukaryotes, such as plants and fungi. However, this distinction is difficult to reconcile with the high conservation of the core machineries that regulate early secretory trafficking from yeast to man. Also, it has remained unclear whether the pleiomorphic IC components—vacuoles, tubules and vesicles—represent transient transport carriers or building blocks of a permanent pre-Golgi organelle. Interestingly, recent studies have revealed that the IC maintains its compositional, structural and spatial properties throughout the cell cycle, supporting a model that combines the dynamic and stable aspects of the organelle. Moreover, the IC has been assigned novel functions, such as cell signaling, Golgi-independent trafficking and autophagy. The emerging permanent nature of the IC and its connections with the centrosome and the endocytic recycling system encourage reconsideration of its relationship with the Golgi ribbon, role in Golgi biogenesis and ubiquitous presence in eukaryotic cells.

Novel Drosophila model for mitochondrial diseases by targeting of a solute carrier protein SLC25A46. Brain Res 2018; 1689:30-44.

Abstract
Mutations in SLC25A46 gene have been identified in mitochondrial diseases that are sometimes classified as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2, optic atrophy and Leigh syndrome. Human SLC25A46 functions as a transporter across the outer mitochondrial membrane. However, it is still unknown how the neurodegeneration occurring in these diseases relates to the loss of SLC25A46 function. Drosophila has CG5755 (dSLC25A46) as a single human SLC25A46 homolog. Here we established pan-neuron specific dSLC25A46 knockdown flies, and examined their phenotypes. Neuron specific knockdown of dSLC25A46 resulted in an impaired motility in both larvae and adults. Defects at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), such as reduced synaptic branch length, decreased number and size of bouton, reduced density and size of active zone were also observed with the dSLC25A46 knockdown flies. Mitochondrial hyperfusion in synapse at NMJ, accumulation of reactive oxygen species and reduction of ATP were also observed in the dSLC25A46 knockdown flies. These results indicate that depletion of SLC25A46 induces mitochondrial defects accompanied with aberrant morphology of motoneuron and reduction of active zone that results in defect in locomotive ability. In addition, it is known that SLC25A46 mutations in human cause optic atrophy and knockdown of dSLC25A46 induces aberrant morphology of optic stalk of photoreceptor neurons in third instar larvae. Morphology and development of optic stalk of photoreceptor neurons in Drosophila are precisely regulated via cell proliferation and migration. Immunocytochemical analyses of subcellular localization of dSLC25A46 revealed that dSLC25A46 localizes not only in mitochondria, but also in plasma membrane. These observations suggest that in addition to the role in mitochondrial function, plasma membrane-localized dSLC25A46 plays a role in cell proliferation and/or migration to control optic stalk formation. The dSLC25A46 knockdown fly thus recapitulates most of the phenotypes in mitochondrial disease patients, providing a useful tool to study these diseases.

Abstract
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an atypical bacterium that causes respiratory illnesses in humans, including pharyngitis, tracheobronchitis, and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). It has also been directly linked to reactive airway disease, asthma, and extrapulmonary pathologies. During its colonization, M. pneumoniae expresses a unique ADP-ribosylating and vacuolating cytotoxin designated community-acquired respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) toxin. CARDS toxin persists and localizes in the airway in CAP patients, asthmatics, and trauma patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia. Although CARDS toxin binds to specific cellular receptors, is internalized, and induces hyperinflammation, histopathology, mucus hyperplasia, and other airway injury, the intracellular trafficking of CARDS toxin remains unclear. Here, we show that CARDS toxin translocates through early and late endosomes and the Golgi complex and concentrates at the perinuclear region to reach the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Using ER-targeted SNAP-tag, we confirmed the association of CARDS toxin with the ER and determined that CARDS toxin follows the retrograde pathway. In addition, we identified a novel CARDS toxin amino acid fingerprint, KELED, that is required for toxin transport to the ER and subsequent toxin-mediated cytotoxicity.IMPORTANCEMycoplasma pneumoniae, a leading cause of bacterial community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) among children and adults in the United States, synthesizes a 591-amino-acid ADP-ribosylating and vacuolating protein, designated community-acquired respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) toxin. CARDS toxin alone is sufficient to induce and mimic major inflammatory and histopathological phenotypes associated with M. pneumoniae infection in rodents and primates. In order to elicit its ADP-ribosylating and vacuolating activities, CARDS toxin must bind to host cell receptors, be internalized via clathrin-mediated pathways, and subsequently be transported to specific intracellular organelles. Here, we demonstrate how CARDS toxin utilizes its unique KELED sequence to exploit the retrograde pathway machinery to reach the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and fulfill its cytopathic potential. The knowledge generated from these studies may provide important clues to understand the mode of action of CARDS toxin and develop interventions that reduce or eliminate M. pneumoniae-associated airway and extrapulmonary pathologies.

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
SOX17 is a key transcriptional regulator that can act by regulating other transcription factors including HNF1β and FOXA2, which are known to regulate postnatal β cell function. Given this, we investigated the role of SOX17 in the developing and postnatal pancreas and found a novel role for SOX17 in regulating insulin secretion. Deletion of the Sox17 gene in the pancreas (Sox17-paLOF) had no observable impact on pancreas development. However, Sox17-paLOF mice had higher islet proinsulin protein content, abnormal trafficking of proinsulin, and dilated secretory organelles suggesting that Sox17-paLOF adult mice are prediabetic. Consistant with this, Sox17-paLOF mice were more susceptible to aged-related and high fat diet-induced hyperglycemia and diabetes. Overexpression of Sox17 in mature β cells using Ins2-rtTA driver mice resulted in precocious secretion of proinsulin. Transcriptionally, SOX17 appears to broadly regulate secretory networks since a 24-hour pulse of SOX17 expression resulted in global transcriptional changes in factors that regulate hormone transport and secretion. Lastly, transient SOX17 overexpression was able to reverse the insulin secretory defects observed in MODY4 animals and restored euglycemia. Together, these data demonstrate a critical new role for SOX17 in regulating insulin trafficking and secretion and that modulation of Sox17-regulated pathways might be used therapeutically to improve cell function in the context of diabetes.

Structural characterization and subcellular localization of Drosophila organic solute carrier partner 1. BMC BIOCHEMISTRY 2014; 15:11. [PMID: 24939707 PMCID: PMC4074837 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2091-15-11] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2014] [Accepted: 06/13/2014] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Background Organic solute carrier partner 1 (OSCP1) is known to facilitate the transport of various organic solutes into cells and reported to play a role in cell growth and cell differentiation. Moreover, OSCP1 is known as a tumor suppressor gene that is frequently down-expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinomas and acute myeloid leukemia. However, the underlying mechanisms of action remain unclear and the subcellular localization of OSCP1 has yet to be determined in detail. Results Drosophila contains a single orthologue of OSCP1 (dOSCP1) that shares 58% homology with its human counterpart. To study the expression pattern and subcellular localization of dOSCP1, we prepared a specific antibody. Subcellular localization analyses of dOSCP1 with these revealed localization in the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and mitochondria, but no detection in cytosol. dOSCP1 signals were also detected in the nucleus, although at weaker intensity than in plasma membranes and subcellular organelles. In addition, native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis with and without β-mercaptoethanol treatment revealed that recombinant dOSCP1 forms dimers and trimers in solution. The dimer form of dOSCP1 could also be detected by Western immunoblot analyses in third instar larval extracts. Conclusions The data revealed that dOSCP1 localizes not only in the plasma membrane but also in the nucleus, ER, Golgi apparatus and mitochondria. It is therefore conceivable that this protein may interact with various partners or form multimeric complexes with other proteins to play multiple roles in cells, providing clues to understanding the functions of dOSCP1 during Drosophila development.

Abstract
A small molecule called dispergo is identified that acutely and reversibly induces ER tubulation and the ER export block that results in the gradual merge of the Golgi membrane with the ER. It is the first reported small molecule with such a phenotype and could facilitate the functional study of the ER. The mammalian endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle that maintains a complex, compartmentalized organization of interconnected cisternae and tubules while supporting a continuous flow of newly synthesized proteins and lipids to the Golgi apparatus. Using a phenotypic screen, we identify a small molecule, dispergo, that induces reversible loss of the ER cisternae and extensive ER tubulation, including formation of ER patches comprising densely packed tubules. Dispergo also prevents export from the ER to the Golgi apparatus, and this traffic block results in breakdown of the Golgi apparatus, primarily due to maintenance of the constitutive retrograde transport of its components to the ER. The effects of dispergo are reversible, since its removal allows recovery of the ER cisternae at the expense of the densely packed tubular ER patches. This recovery occurs together with reactivation of ER-to-Golgi traffic and regeneration of a functional Golgi with correct morphology. Because dispergo is the first small molecule that reversibly tubulates the ER and inhibits its export function, it will be useful in studying these complex processes.

Identification of two Legionella pneumophila effectors that manipulate host phospholipids biosynthesis. PLoS Pathog 2012; 8:e1002988.

Abstract
The intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila translocates a large number of effector proteins into host cells via the Icm/Dot type-IVB secretion system. Some of these effectors were shown to cause lethal effect on yeast growth. Here we characterized one such effector (LecE) and identified yeast suppressors that reduced its lethal effect. The LecE lethal effect was found to be suppressed by the over expression of the yeast protein Dgk1 a diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase enzyme and by a deletion of the gene encoding for Pah1 a phosphatidic acid (PA) phosphatase that counteracts the activity of Dgk1. Genetic analysis using yeast deletion mutants, strains expressing relevant yeast genes and point mutations constructed in the Dgk1 and Pah1 conserved domains indicated that LecE functions similarly to the Nem1-Spo7 phosphatase complex that activates Pah1 in yeast. In addition, by using relevant yeast genetic backgrounds we examined several L. pneumophila effectors expected to be involved in phospholipids biosynthesis and identified an effector (LpdA) that contains a phospholipase-D (PLD) domain which caused lethal effect only in a dgk1 deletion mutant of yeast. Additionally, LpdA was found to enhance the lethal effect of LecE in yeast cells, a phenomenon which was found to be dependent on its PLD activity. Furthermore, to determine whether LecE and LpdA affect the levels or distribution of DAG and PA in-vivo in mammalian cells, we utilized fluorescent DAG and PA biosensors and validated the notion that LecE and LpdA affect the in-vivo levels and distribution of DAG and PA, respectively. Finally, we examined the intracellular localization of both LecE and LpdA in human macrophages during L. pneumophila infection and found that both effectors are localized to the bacterial phagosome. Our results suggest that L. pneumophila utilize at least two effectors to manipulate important steps in phospholipids biosynthesis. Legionella pneumophila is an intracellular pathogen that causes a severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease. Following infection, the bacteria use a Type-IVB secretion system to translocate multiple effector proteins into macrophages and generate the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV). The formation of the LCV involves the recruitment of specific bacterial effectors and host cell factors to the LCV as well as changes in its lipids composition. By screening L. pneumophila effectors for yeast growth inhibition, we have identified an effector, named LecE, that strongly inhibits yeast growth. By using yeast genetic tools, we found that LecE activates the yeast lipin homolog – Pah1, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid, these two molecules function as bioactive lipid signaling molecules in eukaryotic cells. In addition, by using yeast deletion mutants in genes relevant to lipids biosynthesis, we have identified another effector, named LpdA, which function as a phospholipase-D enzyme. Both effectors were found to be localized to the LCV during infection. Our results reveal a possible mechanism by which an intravacuolar pathogen might change the lipid composition of the vacuole in which it resides, a process that might lead to the recruitment of specific bacterial and host cell factors to the vacoule.

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
As major effector cells of the innate immune response, macrophages must adeptly migrate from blood to infected tissues. Endothelial transmigration is accomplished by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-induced degradation of basement membrane and extracellular matrix components. The classical activation of macrophages with LPS and IFN-γ causes enhanced microtubule (MT) stabilization and secretion of MMPs. Macrophages up-regulate MMP-9 expression and secretion upon immunological challenge and require its activity for migration during the inflammatory response. However, the dynamics of MMP-9 production and intracellular distribution as well as the mechanisms responsible for its trafficking are unknown. Using immunofluorescent imaging, we localized intracellular MMP-9 to small Golgi-derived cytoplasmic vesicles that contained calreticulin and protein-disulfide isomerase in activated RAW 264.7 macrophages. We demonstrated vesicular organelles of MMP-9 aligned along stable subsets of MTs and showed that selective modulation of MT dynamics contributes to the enhanced trafficking of MMP-9 extracellularly. We found a Rab3D-dependent association of MMP-9 vesicles with the molecular motor kinesin, whose association with the MT network was greatly enhanced after macrophage activation. Finally, we implicated kinesin 5B and 3B isoforms in the effective trafficking of MMP-9 extracellularly.

Abstract
Pseudomonas exotoxin A (PE) is a highly toxic protein secreted by the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The modular structure and corresponding mechanism of action of PE make it amenable to extensive modifications that can redirect its potent cytotoxicity from disease to a therapeutic function. In combination with a variety of artificial targeting elements, such as receptor ligands and antibody fragments, PE becomes a selective agent for the elimination of specific cell populations. This review summarizes our current understanding of PE, its intoxication pathway, and the ongoing efforts to convert this toxin into a treatment for cancer.

Abstract
Many proteins mature within the secretory pathway by the acquisition of glycans. Failure to maintain the proper distribution of the glycosylation machinery might lead to disease. High expression levels of the ubiquitous Golgi protein estrogen receptor-binding fragment-associated gene 9 (EBAG9) in human tumors correlate with poor clinical prognosis, and EBAG9 overexpression in epithelial cell lines induces truncated glycans, typical of many carcinomas. Here, we addressed the pathogenetic link between EBAG9 expression and the alteration of the cellular glycome. We applied confocal microscopy, live imaging, pulse-chase labeling in conjunction with immunoprecipitation, and enzymatic activity assays in a variety of EBAG9-overexpressing or depleted epithelial tumor cell lines. EBAG9 shuttles between the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment and the cis-Golgi, and we demonstrate association of EBAG9 with coat protein complex I (COPI)-coated transport vesicles. EBAG9 overexpression imposes delay of endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi transport and mislocalizes components of the ER quality control and glycosylation machinery. Conversely, EBAG9 down-regulation accelerates glycoprotein transport through the Golgi and enhances mannosidase activity. Thus, EBAG9 acts as a negative regulator of a COPI-dependent ER-to-Golgi transport pathway in epithelial cells and represents a novel pathogenetic principle in which interference with intracellular membrane trafficking results in the emergence of a tumor-associated glycome.

Abstract
Syntaxin 10 is a soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) protein localized to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), where two other members of the syntaxin family, syntaxins 6 and 16, also reside. The role of syntaxin 10 in regulating TGN protein traffic is not yet defined. Syntaxin 10 co-localizes well with syntaxins 6 and 16 at the TGN in interphase cells, and appears to interact with both syntaxin 6 and 16 as evidenced by co-immunoprecipitation analyses. However, unlike syntaxin 6 and 16, neither syntaxin 10 antibodies nor its cytosolic domain inhibits endosome-TGN transport of shiga toxin. Syntaxin 16 knockdown with small interfering RNA (siRNA) affects the TGN localization of syntaxin 6 but not syntaxin 10, and clearly inhibits endosome-TGN transport. On the other hand, knockdown of syntaxin 10 expressions had no significant effect on the TGN localization of syntaxin 6 and 16, and did not inhibit endosome-TGN transport. Unlike syntaxin 16, syntaxin 10 does not interact specifically with Vps45, the Sec1/Munc18 (SM) family member at the TGN. On the other hand, syntaxin 10 reciprocally co-immunoprecipitated endosomal syntaxin 12/13, and knockdown of syntaxin 10 expressions affects the surface expression of transferrin receptor (TfR) and seems to induce the formation of an immobile TfR pool. Therefore, in spite of its co-localization and possible interaction with syntaxin 16, syntaxin 10 is not part of the syntaxin 16-based SNARE complex involved in endosome-TGN transport, and may have a hitherto unrecognized function in the TGN-endosome boundary.

Abstract
Cell-based therapy for neuropathic pain could provide analgesics to local pain modulatory regions in a sustained, renewable fashion. In order to provide enhanced analgesic efficacy, transplantable cells may be engineered to produce complementary or increased levels of analgesic peptides. In addition, genetic labeling of modified cells is desirable for identification and tracking, but it should be retained intracellularly as desired analgesic peptides are secreted. Usually constructs encode proteins destined for either extra- or intracellular compartments, as these pathways do not cross. However, interactions between intracellular destinations provide a window of opportunity to overcome this limitation. In this report, we have explored this approach using a potential supplementary analgesic peptide, [Ser1]-histogranin (SHG), the stable synthetic derivative of a naturally occurring peptide with N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonistic properties. A synthetic SHG gene was combined with (i) nerve growth factor-β (NGF-β) amino-terminal signal peptide to enable secretion, and (ii) a fluorescent cellular label (mRFP) with intervening cathepsin L cleavage site, and subcloned into a lentiviral vector. In addition, an endoplasmic retention signal, KDEL, was added to enable retrieval of mRFP. Using immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopic profile analysis, cells transduced by such lentiviruses were shown to synthesize a single SHG-mRFP polypeptide that was processed, targeted to expected subcellular destinations in several cell types. Dot blot and Western analysis revealed stable transduction and long-term secretion of SHG from PC12 cells in vitro. Transplantation of such cells provided modest analgesia in a rodent pain model consistent with low levels of SHG peptide in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). These results suggest that it is possible to deliver proteins with different final destinations from a single construct, such as pharmacologically active peptide for secretion and intracellular label for identifying transplantable cells.

Abstract
Transport through the secretory pathway begins with COPII regulation of ER export. Driven by the Sar1 GTPase cycle, cytosolic COPII proteins exchange on and off the membrane at specific sites on the ER to regulate cargo exit. Here recent developments in COPII research are discussed, particularly the use of live-cell imaging, which has revealed surprising insights into the coat's role. The seemingly static ER exit sites are in fact highly dynamic, and the ability to visualise trafficking processes in intact living cells has highlighted the adaptable nature of COPII in cargo transport and the emerging roles of auxiliary factors.

Abstract
Genes encoding members of the p24 family of intracellular trafficking proteins are present throughout animal and plant lineages. However, very little is known about p24 developmental, spatial, or sex-specific expression patterns or how localized expression affects function. We investigated these problems in Drosophila melanogaster, which contains nine genes encoding p24 proteins. One of these genes, logjam (loj), is expressed in the adult female nervous system and ovaries and is essential for oviposition. Nervous system-specific expression of loj, but not ovary-specific expression, rescues the behavioral defect of mutants. The Loj protein localizes to punctate structures in the cellular cytoplasm. These structures colocalize with a marker specific to the intermediate compartment and cis-Golgi, consistent with experimental evidence from other systems suggesting that p24 proteins function in intracellular transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. Our findings reveal that Drosophila p24 transcripts are developmentally and tissue-specifically expressed. CG31787 is male-specifically expressed gene that is present during the larval, pupal, and adult stages. Female CG9053 mRNA is limited to the head, whereas males express this gene widely. Together, our studies provide experimental evidence indicating that some p24 genes have sex-specific expression patterns and tissue- and sex-limited functions.

Abstract
A striking characteristic of a Rab protein is its steady-state localization to the cytosolic surface of a particular subcellular membrane. In this study, we have undertaken a combined bioinformatic and experimental approach to examine the evolutionary conservation of Rab protein localization. A comprehensive primary sequence classification shows that 10 out of the 11 Rab proteins identified in the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) genome can be grouped within a major subclass, each comprising multiple Rab orthologs from diverse species. We compared the locations of individual yeast Rab proteins with their localizations following ectopic expression in mammalian cells. Our results suggest that green fluorescent protein-tagged Rab proteins maintain localizations across large evolutionary distances and that the major known player in the Rab localization pathway, mammalian Rab-GDI, is able to function in yeast. These findings enable us to provide insight into novel gene functions and classify the uncharacterized Rab proteins Ypt10p (YBR264C) as being involved in endocytic function and Ypt11p (YNL304W) as being localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, where we demonstrate it is required for organelle inheritance.

Abstract
Under artificial conditions Golgi enzymes have the capacity to rapidly accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These observations prompted the idea that Golgi enzymes constitutively recycle through the ER. We have tested this hypothesis under physiological conditions through use of a procedure that captures Golgi enzymes in the ER. In the presence of rapamycin, which induces a tight association between FKBP (FK506-binding protein) and FRAP (FKBP-rapamycin-associated protein), an FKBP-tagged Golgi enzyme can be trapped when it visits the ER by an ER-retained protein fused to FRAP. We find that although FKBP-ERGIC-53 of the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) rapidly cycles through the ER (30 min), FKBP-Golgi enzyme chimeras remain stably associated with Golgi membranes. We also demonstrate that Golgi dispersion upon nocodazole treatment mainly occurs through a mechanism that does not involve the recycling of Golgi membranes through the ER. Our findings suggest that the Golgi apparatus, as defined by its collection of resident enzymes, exists independent of the ER.

Abstract
We describe a novel syntaxin family member, syntaxin 9 (Syn 9), which does not possess a typical C-terminal hydrophobic tail anchor. Syn 9 has, however, a Q-SNARE domain and an overall homology to syntaxins (with the highest overall homology with mammalian syntaxin 11). Syn 9 is enriched in some epithelial cells, particularly that of the stomach lining and the skin. At the skin, it is found in the epidermal layers as well as structures associated with hair follicles. A biochemical interaction screen revealed that Syn 9 interacts specifically with the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. Overexpression of Syn 9 perturbed EGF receptor endocytosis but does not appear to affect the internalization of the transferrin receptor. Syn 9 may therefore have a role in EGF receptor transport and signaling in certain epithelial cell types.

Abstract
We previously reported that the secretory capacity of Pichia pastoris is limited with respect to the secretion of a 96.5-kDa bivalent anti-CD3 immunotoxin; double-copy expression generated more translation products than single-copy expression but did not increase the secretion of the immunotoxin. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae heterologous protein secretion has been reported to increase the expression of molecular chaperones, most prominently BiP/Kar2p. We therefore investigated the relationships between immunotoxin secretion and Kar2p expression in P. pastoris. We found that expression of the immunotoxin in P. pastoris increased the expression of Kar2p to levels that surpassed the retrieval capacity of the cell, leading to secretion of Kar2p into the medium. The level of Kar2p secretion was correlated with the copy number of the immunotoxin gene. Intracellular Kar2p was found to bind exclusively to the unprocessed immunotoxin containing the prosequence of alpha-factor in the endoplasmic reticulum. These results show that Kar2p is intimately involved in immunotoxin secretion in P. pastoris. The limited capacity of P. pastoris to retain a sufficiently high level of intracellular Kar2p may be a factor restricting the production of the immunotoxin.

Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii and its apicomplexan relatives (such as Plasmodium falciparum, which causes malaria) are obligate intracellular parasites that rely on sequential protein release from specialized secretory organelles for invasion and multiplication within host cells. Because of the importance of these unusual membrane trafficking pathways for drug development and comparative cell biology, characterizing them is essential. In particular, it is unclear what role retrieval mechanisms play in parasite membrane trafficking or where they operate. Previously, we showed that T. gondii's beta-COP (TgBetaCOP; a subunit of coatomer protein complex I, COPI) and retrieval reporters localize exclusively to the zone between the parasite endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus. This suggested the existence of an HDEL receptor in T. gondii. We have now identified, cloned, and sequenced this receptor, TgERD2. TgERD2 localizes in a Golgi or ER pattern suggestive of the HDEL retrieval reporter (K. M. Hager, B. Striepen, L. G. Tilney, and D. S. Roos, J. Cell Sci. 112:2631-2638, 1999). A functional assay reveals that TgERD2 is able to complement the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ERD2 null mutant. Retrieval studies reveal that stable expression of a fluorescent exogenous retrieval ligand results in a dispersal of betaCOP signal throughout the cytoplasm and, surprisingly, results in betaCOP staining of the vacuolar space of the parasite. In contrast, stable expression of TgERD2GFP does not appear to disturb betaCOP staining. In addition to TgERD2, Toxoplasma contains two more divergent ERD2 relatives. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that these proteins belong to a previously unrecognized ERD2 subfamily common to plants and alveolate organisms and as such could represent mediators of parasite-specific retrieval functions. No evidence of class 2 ERD2 proteins was found in metazoan organisms or fungi.

Abstract
First discovered by genetic analysis of yeast secretion mutants, the evolutionarily conserved vesicular coat protein II (COPII) complex is responsible for membrane transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus. In recent years, extensive efforts in structural, morphological, genetic and molecular analysis have greatly enhanced our understanding of the structural and molecular basis of COPII subunit assembly and selective cargo packaging during ER export. Very recent data have also indicated that a more "classical" picture of vesicle formation from ER exit sites (ERES) followed by their transport to the Golgi is far from accurate. Proteins modulating the function of COPII have also emerged in recent analysis. They either affect COPII-based cargo selection, the formation of vesicle/transport carrier, or subsequent targeting of the transport carrier. Together, elucidation of COPII-mediated ER export has painted a fascinating picture of molecular complexity for an essential process in all eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
Golgins are a family of coiled-coil proteins that are associated with the Golgi apparatus. They are necessary for tethering events in membrane fusion and may act as structural support for Golgi cisternae. Here we report on the identification of an Arabidopsis golgin which is a homologue of CASP, a known transmembrane mammalian and yeast golgin. Similar to its homologues, the plant CASP contains a long N-terminal coiled-coil region protruding into the cytosol and a C-terminal transmembrane domain with amino acid residues which are highly conserved across species. Through fluorescent protein tagging experiments, we show that plant CASP localizes at the plant Golgi apparatus and that the C-terminus of this protein is sufficient for its localization, as has been shown for its mammalian counterpart. In addition, we demonstrate that the plant CASP is able to localize at the mammalian Golgi apparatus. However, mutagenesis of a conserved tyrosine in the transmembrane domain revealed that it is necessary for ER export and Golgi localization of the Arabidopsis CASP in mammalian cells, but is not required for its correct localization in plant cells. These data suggest that mammalian and plant cells have different mechanisms for concentrating CASP in the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
After integration into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, ER-resident membrane proteins must be segregated from proteins that are exported to post-ER compartments. Here we analyze how human Gaa1 and PIG-T, two of the five subunits of the ER-localized glycosylphosphatidylinositol transamidase complex, are retained in the ER. Neither protein contains a known ER localization signal. Gaa1 is a polytopic membrane glycoprotein with a cytoplasmic N terminus and a large luminal loop between its first two transmembrane spans; PIG-T is a type I membrane glycoprotein. To simplify our analyses, we studied Gaa1 and PIG-T constructs that could not interact with other subunits of the transamidase. We now show that Gaa1(282), a truncated protein consisting of the first TM domain and luminal loop of Gaa1, is correctly oriented, N-glycosylated, and ER-localized. Removal of a potential ER localization signal in the form of a triple arginine cluster near the N terminus of Gaa1 or Gaa1(282) had no effect on ER localization. Fusion proteins consisting of different elements of Gaa1(282) appended to alpha2,6-sialyltransferase or transferrin receptor could exit the ER, indicating that Gaa1(282), and by implication Gaa1, does not contain any dominant ER-sorting determinants. The data suggest that Gaa1 is passively retained in the ER by a signalless mechanism. In contrast, similar analyses of PIG-T revealed that it is ER-localized because of information in its transmembrane span; fusion of the PIG-T transmembrane span to Tac antigen, a plasma membrane-localized protein, caused the fusion protein to remain in the ER. These data are discussed in the context of models that have been proposed to account for retention of ER membrane proteins.

Abstract
Loci for several human genetic diseases including glaucoma have been mapped to q23 region on chromosome 8. We carried out homology search analysis of the genomic sequence of a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone, KB1590E11, on 8q23 region, and mapped a previously described cDNA, KIAA1472, to this BAC clone. In this study, we determined the complete genomic structure of the KIAA1472 gene and its expression in various tissues and cell lines. Four mRNA species (types 1a, 1b, 1c, and 2) were produced from this gene by use of alternative transcription start sites and alternative-splicing events. These mRNAs were expressed in various tissues, except for type 1a, which was found only in the brain. Further, type 1 mRNA could be translated into two protein isoforms with different N-terminal sequences; and type 2 mRNA, into another type of isoform. All three of these KIAA1472 gene products were localized in Golgi apparatus and contained a C-terminal hydrophobic segment characteristic of a transmembrane domain, thus indicating them to be Golgi membrane-bound proteins. Furthermore, these proteins were homologous to syntaphilin, a molecule involved in guiding vesicular transport. These results indicate that KIAA1472 gene products may play an important role in vesicular traffic in various tissues including the brain.

Abstract
The majority of hepatic intracellular triacylglycerol (TG) is mobilized by lipolysis followed by reesterification to reassemble TG before incorporation into a very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particle. Triacylglycerol hydrolase (TGH) is a lipase that hydrolyzes TG within hepatocytes. Immunogold electron microscopy in transfected cells revealed a disparate distribution of this enzyme within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), with particularly intense localization in regions surrounding mitochondria. TGH is localized to the lumen of the ER by the C-terminal tetrapeptide sequence HIEL functioning as an ER retention signal. Deletion of HIEL resulted in secretion of catalytically active TGH. Mutation of HIEL to KDEL, which is the consensus ER retrieval sequence in animal cells, also resulted in ER retention and conservation of lipolytic activity. However, KDEL-TGH was not as efficient at mobilizing lipids for VLDL secretion and exhibited an altered distribution within the ER. TGH is a glycoprotein, but glycosylation is not required for catalytic activity. TGH does not hydrolyze apolipoprotein B-associated lipids. This suggests a mechanism for vectored movement of TGs onto developing VLDL in the ER as TGH may mobilize TG for VLDL assembly, but will not access this lipid once it is associated with VLDL.

Abstract
Cycling proteins play important roles in the organization and function of the early secretory pathway by participating in membrane traffic and selective transport of cargo between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the intermediate compartment (ERGIC), and the Golgi. To identify new cycling proteins, we have developed a novel procedure for the purification of ERGIC membranes from HepG2 cells treated with brefeldin A, a drug known to accumulate cycling proteins in the ERGIC. Membranes enriched 110-fold over the homogenate for ERGIC-53 were obtained and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Major proteins corresponded to established and putative cargo receptors and components mediating protein maturation and membrane traffic. Among the uncharacterized proteins, a 32-kDa protein termed ERGIC-32 is a novel cycling membrane protein with sequence homology to Erv41p and Erv46p, two proteins enriched in COPII vesicles of yeast. ERGIC-32 localizes to the ERGIC and partially colocalizes with the human homologs of Erv41p and Erv46p, which mainly localize to the cis-Golgi. ERGIC-32 interacts with human Erv46 (hErv46) as revealed by covalent cross-linking and mistargeting experiments, and silencing of ERGIC-32 by small interfering RNAs increases the turnover of hErv46. We propose that ERGIC-32 functions as a modulator of the hErv41-hErv46 complex by stabilizing hErv46. Our novel approach for the isolation of the ERGIC from BFA-treated cells may ultimately lead to the identification of all proteins rapidly cycling early in the secretory pathway.

Abstract
The location of sarco/endoplasmic-reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) retention/retrieval motifs in the sequence of the SERCA1 has been investigated by examining the subcellular location in COS-7 cells of enhanced-green-fluorescent-protein-tagged calcium-pump chimaeras. These chimaeras have been constructed from the fast-twitch SERCA1 and the plasma-membrane calcium ATPase PMCA3. The N-terminal, central and C-terminal segments of these calcium pumps were exchanged between SERCA1 and PMCA3. The segments exchanged correspond to residues 1-211, 212-711 and 712-994 of SERCA1, and residues 1-264, 265-788 and 789-1159 of PMCA3 respectively. Only chimaeras containing the N-terminal segment of SERCA1 were located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), whereas chimaeras containing the N-terminal segment from PMCA3 were able to escape from the ER and enter the endomembrane pathway en route for the plasma membrane. Co-localization of SERCA1 in COS-7 cells with the ER/Golgi-intermediate compartment marker ERGIC53 indicates that SERCA1 is maintained in the ER by a process of retrieval. These results indicate that the N-terminal region of SERCA1, containing transmembrane helices M1 and M2, contains an ER-retrieval signal.

Abstract
Many endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins maintain their residence by dynamic retrieval from downstream compartments of the secretory pathway. In previous work we compared the retrieval process mediated by the two signals, KKMP and KDEL, by appending them to the same neutral reporter protein, CD8, and found that the two signals determine a different steady-state localization of the reporter. CD8-K (the KDEL-bearing form) was restricted mainly to the ER, whereas CD8-E19 (the KKMP-bearing form) was distributed also to the intermediate compartment and Golgi complex. To investigate whether this different steady-state distribution reflects a difference in exit rates from the ER and/or in retrieval, we have now followed the first steps of export of the two constructs from the ER and their trafficking between ER and Golgi complex. Contrary to expectation, we find that CD8-K is efficiently recruited into transport vesicles, whereas CD8-E19 is not. Thus, the more restricted ER localization of CD8-K must be explained by a more efficient retrieval to the ER. Moreover, because most of ER resident CD8-K is not O-glycosylated but almost all CD8-E19 is, the results suggest that CD8-K is retrieved from the intermediate compartment, before reaching the Golgi, where O-glycosylation begins. These results illustrate how different retrieval signals determine different trafficking patterns and pose novel questions on the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
The p24 proteins belong to a highly conserved family of membrane proteins that cycle in the early secretory pathway. They bind to the coat proteins of COPI and COPII vesicles, and are proposed to be involved in vesicle biogenesis, cargo uptake, and quality control, but their precise function is still under debate. Most p24 proteins form hetero-oligomers, essential for their correct localization and stability. Functional insights regarding the mechanisms of their steady state localization and the role of interaction with coat proteins has been hampered by a lack of data on their concentration and state of oligomerization within the endoplasmic reticulum, the intermediate compartment, and Golgi complex. We have determined for all mammalian p24 family members the size of the oligomers formed and their stoichiometric relation in each of these individual organelles. In contrast to earlier reports, we show that individual members exist as dimers and monomers and that the ratio between these two forms depends on both the organelle investigated and the p24 protein. We find unequal quantities, with p23 and p27 building up concentration gradients, ruling out a simple 1:1 stoichiometry. In addition, we show differential cycling of individual p24 members. These data point to a complex and dynamic system of altering dimerizations of the family members.

Abstract
The subcellular localization, interacting partners, and function of GS15, a Golgi SNARE, remain to be established. In our present study, it is revealed that unlike proteins (Bet1 and the KDEL receptor) cycling between the Golgi and the intermediate compartment (IC, inclusive of the ER exit sites), GS15 is not redistributed into the IC upon incubation at 15 degrees C or when cells are treated with brefeldin A. Immuno-electron microscopy (immuno-EM) reveals that GS15 is mainly found in the medial-cisternae of the Golgi apparatus and adjacent tubulo-vesicular elements. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments suggest that GS15 exists in a distinct SNARE complex that contains SNAREs (syntaxin5, GS28, and Ykt6) that are implicated in both ER-to-Golgi and intra-Golgi transport but not with SNAREs involved exclusively in ER-to-Golgi traffic. Furthermore, components of COPI coat can be selectively coimmunoprecipitated with GS15 from Golgi extracts. Overexpression of mutant forms of GS15 affects the normal distribution of cis- and medial-Golgi proteins (GS28, syntaxin 5, and Golgi mannosidase II), whereas proteins of the trans-Golgi and TGN (Vti1-rp2/Vti1a and syntaxin 6) and Golgi matrix/scaffold (GM130 and p115) are less affected. When the level of GS15 is reduced by duplex 21-nt small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown approach, diverse markers of the Golgi apparatus are redistributed into small dotty and diffuse labeling, suggesting an essential role of GS15 in the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
We have studied the localization of functional components of cellular Ca2+ transport and storage and the effects of thapsigargin (TG), a specific inhibitor of the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), with respect to the p58-containing pre-Golgi intermediate compartment (IC). The depletion of Ca2+ stores in normal rat kidney (NRK) cells by TG abolished the retention of the KDEL-containing, Ca2+-binding, luminal ER chaperones GRP94/endoplasmin and GRP78/BiP, and resulted in the appearance of the proteins in the culture medium before inducing their synthesis. Immunolocalization of GRP94 in TG-treated cells showed that the protein was transported to the Golgi complex and, in parallel, the KDEL receptor was redistributed from the Golgi to p58-positive IC structures, but was not transported further to the ER. Similarly, p58 that normally cycles between the ER, IC, and cis-Golgi, was largely depleted from the cell periphery and arrested in large-sized IC elements and numerous vesicles or buds in the Golgi region, showing that TG selectively blocks its recycling from the IC back to the ER. Importantly, cell fractionation analyses and confocal fluorescence microscopy provided evidence that the IC elements in unperturbed cells contain SERCA and a considerable pool of GRP94. Thus, the observed effects of TG on protein retention and recycling can be explained by a change in the luminal Ca2+ concentration of the IC. Moreover, the compositional properties of the IC elements suggest that they participate in intracellular Ca2+ storage.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) has been implicated in beta 1 integrin-mediated cell migration. Expression of the novel PKC isoform, PKC epsilon, in PKC epsilon(-/-) cells is shown here to stimulate directional migration of cells towards beta 1 integrin substrates in a manner dependent on PKC catalytic activity. On PKC inhibition, integrin beta 1 and PKC epsilon become reversibly trapped in a tetraspanin (CD81)-positive intracellular compartment, correlating with reduced haptotaxis. Immunofluorescence and pulse labelling studies indicate that this is a previously uncharacterized recycling compartment trapped by inhibition of PKC. Electron microscopy demonstrated the co-localization of PKC epsilon and integrin beta 1 on the vesicular membranes. Finally, using a reconstituted in vitro system, the dissociation of PKC epsilon from these vesicles is shown to be dependent on both the presence of cytosolic components and energy, and on PKC catalytic activity. The evidence presented indicates that PKC epsilon controls an internal traffic step that under uninhibited conditions permits the recycling of beta 1 integrin, contributing to cell motility.

Abstract
Formation of coated carrier vesicles, such as COPI-coated vesicles from the cis-Golgi, is triggered by membrane binding of the GTP-bound form of ADP-ribosylation factors. This process is blocked by brefeldin A, which is an inhibitor of guanine nucleotide exchange factors for ADP-ribosylation factor. GBF1 is one of the guanine nucleotide-exchange factors for ADP-ribosylation factor and is localized in the Golgi region. In the present study, we have determined the detailed subcellular localization of GBF1. Immunofluorescence microscopy of cells treated with nocodazole or incubated at 15 degrees C has suggested that GBF1 behaves similarly to proteins recycling between the cis-Golgi and the endoplasmic reticulum. Immunoelectron microscopy has revealed that GBF1 localizes primarily to vesicular and tubular structures apposed to the cis-face of Golgi stacks and minor fractions to the Golgi stacks. GBF1 overexpressed in cells causes recruitment of class I and class II ADP-ribosylation factors onto Golgi membranes. Furthermore, overexpressed GBF1 antagonizes various effects of brefeldin A, such as inhibition of membrane recruitment of ADP-ribosylation factors and the COPI coat, and redistribution of Golgi-resident and itinerant proteins. These observations indicate that GBF1 is involved in the formation of COPI-coated vesicles from the cis-Golgi or the pre-Golgi intermediate compartment through activating ADP-ribosylation factors.

Abstract
Group 1 of plant pathogenesis-related proteins (PR-1) and a variety of related mammalian proteins constitute a superfamily of proteins that share structural similarities. Little is known about their function, but all the family members identified to date are co-translationally translocated to the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and are secreted as soluble proteins or are targeted to vacuoles. Here we report the identification of a novel family member that localizes to the cytosolic site of the endomembrane system in mammalian cells. After detergent solubilization of isolated Golgi membranes, a 17 kDa protein was found associated with a low-density detergent-insoluble fraction. The amino-acid sequence, determined by microsequencing and molecular cloning, revealed a significant homology with the superfamily of PR-1 proteins. Golgi-associated PR-1 protein (GAPR-1) showed a brefeldin-A-sensitive Golgi localization in immunofluorescence. Interestingly,the protein remained associated with the microdomain fraction in the presence of Brefeldin A.
By mass spectrometry, GAPR-1 was shown to be myristoylated. Immunoprecipitation of GAPR- 1 from Golgi membranes resulted in the coimmunoprecipitation of caveolin-1, indicating a direct interaction between these two proteins. Myristoylation, together with protein-protein or electrostatic interactions at physiological pH owing to the highly basic pI of GAPR-1 (pI 9.4) could explain the strong membrane association of GAPR-1.
Tissue screening revealed that GAPR-1 is not detectably expressed in liver,heart or adrenal glands. High expression was found in monocytes, leukocytes,lung, spleen and embryonic tissue. Consistent with the involvement of PR-1 proteins in the plant immune system, these data could indicate that GAPR-1 is involved in the immune system.

Abstract
The subcellular localization of the human Ca(2+)-binding EF-hand/leucine zipper protein NEFA was studied in HeLa cells by immunofluorescence microscopy. Double immunostaining using mouse anti-NEFA monoclonal antibody 1H8D12 and rabbit anti-ERD2 polyclonal antibody proved that NEFA is localized in the Golgi apparatus. The result was confirmed by the expression of NEFA-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion protein in the Golgi in the same cell line. Cycloheximide treatment proved NEFA to be a Golgi-resident protein. Seven NEFA deletion mutants were constructed to ascertain the peptide region relevant for Golgi retention. The expression of each NEFA-GFP variant was detected by fluorescence microscopy and immunoblotting. Only the DeltaN mutant, lacking the N-terminal Leu/Ile-rich region, failed to be retained in the Golgi after cycloheximide treatment. The other six deletion mutants in which either the basic region, the complete EF-hand pair domain, the two EF-hand motifs separately, the leucine zipper and the leucine zipper plus the C-terminal region is deleted, were localized to the Golgi. The peptide sequence within the Leu/Ile-rich region is discussed as a novel Golgi retention motif.

Abstract
Although all mammalian COPII components have now been cloned, little is known of their interactions with other regulatory proteins involved in exit from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We report here that a mammalian protein (Yip1A) that is about 31% identical to S. cerevisiae and which interacts with and modulates COPII-mediated ER-Golgi transport. Yip1A transcripts are ubiquitously expressed. Transcripts of a related mammalian homologue, Yip1B, are found specifically in the heart. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that Yip1A is localized to vesicular structures that are concentrated at the perinuclear region. The structures marked by Yip1A co-localized with Sec31A and Sec13, components of the COPII coat protein complex. Immunoelectron microscopy also showed that Yip1A co-localizes with Sec13 at ER exit sites. Overexpression of the hydrophilic N terminus of Yip1A arrests ER-Golgi transport of the vesicular stomatitis G protein and causes fragmentation and dispersion of the Golgi apparatus. A glutathione S-transferase fusion protein with the hydrophilic N terminus of Yip1A (GST-Yip1A) is able to bind to and deplete vital components from rat liver cytosol that is essential for in vitro vesicular stomatitis G transport. Peptide sequence analysis of cytosolic proteins that are specifically bound to GST-Yip1A revealed, among other proteins, mammalian COPII components Sec23 and Sec24. A highly conserved domain at the N terminus of Yip1A is required for Sec23/Sec24 interaction. Our results suggest that Yip1A is involved in the regulation of ER-Golgi traffic at the level of ER exit sites.

Abstract
PDZ domains are involved in the scaffolding and assembly of multi-protein complexes at various subcellular sites. We describe here the isolation and characterization of a novel PDZ domain-containing protein that localizes to the Golgi apparatus. Using an in silico cloning approach, we have identified and isolated a cDNA encoding a ubiquitously expressed 59-kDa protein that we call FIG. It is composed of two coiled coil regions, a leucine zipper, and a single PDZ domain. Cytological studies using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that FIG is a peripheral protein that uses one of its coiled coil domains to localize to the Golgi apparatus. To ascertain the modalities of this Golgi localization, the same coiled coil region was tested for its ability to interact with a panel of coiled coil domain-containing integral membrane Golgi proteins. Using a series of GST fusion protein binding assays, co-immunofluorescence and co-immunoprecipitation experiments, we show that FIG specifically binds to the coiled coil domain-containing Q-SNARE (Q-soluble NSF attachment protein receptor) protein syntaxin 6 both in vitro and in vivo. The structural features of FIG and its interaction with a SNARE protein suggest that FIG may play a role in membrane vesicle trafficking. This is the first example of a PDZ domain-containing peripheral protein that localizes to the Golgi through a coiled coil-mediated interaction with a resident membrane protein. Our results broaden the scope of PDZ domain-mediated functions.
