Abstract
Synonymous mutations, such as I507-ATC→ATT, in deletion of Phe508 in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (ΔF508 CFTR), the most frequent disease-associated mutant of CFTR, may affect protein biogenesis, structure, and function and contribute to an altered disease phenotype. Small-molecule drugs are being developed to correct ΔF508 CFTR. To understand correction mechanisms and the consequences of synonymous mutations, we analyzed the effect of mechanistically distinct correctors, corrector 4a (C4) and lumacaftor (VX-809), on I507-ATT and I507-ATC ΔF508 CFTR biogenesis and function. C4 stabilized I507-ATT ΔF508 CFTR band B, but without considerable biochemical and functional correction. VX-809 biochemically corrected ∼10% of both of the variants, leading to stable, forskolin+3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX)-activated whole-cell currents in the presence of the corrector. Omitting VX-809 during whole-cell recordings led to a spontaneous decline of the currents, suggesting posttranslational stabilization by VX-809. Treatment of cells with the C4+VX-809 combination resulted in enhanced rescue and 2-fold higher forskolin+IBMX-activated currents of both I507-ATT and I507-ATC ΔF508 CFTR, compared with VX-809 treatment alone. The lack of an effect of C4 on I507-ATC ΔF508 CFTR, but its additive effect in combination with VX-809, implies that C4 acted on VX-809-modified I507-ATC ΔF508 CFTR. Our results suggest that binding of C4 and VX-809 to ΔF508 CFTR is conformation specific and provide evidence that synonymous mutations can alter the drug sensitivity of proteins.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a fatal genetic disease caused by mutations in cftr, a gene encoding a PKA-regulated Cl−channel. The most common mutation results in a deletion of phenylalanine at position 508 (ΔF508-CFTR) that impairs protein folding, trafficking, and channel gating in epithelial cells. In the airway, these defects alter salt and fluid transport, leading to chronic infection, inflammation, and loss of lung function. There are no drugs that specifically target mutant CFTR, and optimal treatment of CF may require repair of both the folding and gating defects. Here, we describe two classes of novel, potent small molecules identified from screening compound libraries that restore the function of ΔF508-CFTR in both recombinant cells and cultures of human bronchial epithelia isolated from CF patients. The first class partially corrects the trafficking defect by facilitating exit from the endoplasmic reticulum and restores ΔF508-CFTR-mediated Cl−transport to more than 10% of that observed in non-CF human bronchial epithelial cultures, a level expected to result in a clinical benefit in CF patients. The second class of compounds potentiates cAMP-mediated gating of ΔF508-CFTR and achieves single-channel activity similar to wild-type CFTR. The CFTR-activating effects of the two mechanisms are additive and support the rationale of a drug discovery strategy based on rescue of the basic genetic defect responsible for CF.

Abstract
The biogenesis of endothelial-specific Weibel-Palade bodies (WPB) is poorly understood, despite their key role in both haemostasis and inflammation. Biogenesis of specialized organelles of haemopoietic cells is often adaptor protein complex 3-dependent (AP-3-dependent), and AP-3 has previously been shown to play a role in the trafficking of both WPB membrane proteins, P-selectin and CD63. However, WPB are thought to form at the trans Golgi network (TGN), which is inconsistent with a role for AP-3, which operates in post-Golgi trafficking. We have therefore investigated in detail the mechanisms of delivery of these two membrane proteins to WPB. We find that P-selectin is recruited to forming WPB in the trans-Golgi by AP-3-independent mechanisms that use sorting information within both the cytoplasmic tail and the lumenal domain of the receptor. In contrast, CD63 is recruited to already-budded WPB by an AP-3-dependent route. These different mechanisms of recruitment lead to the presence of distinct immature and mature populations of WPB in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).

Abstract
Efficient endocytosis of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is mediated by a tyrosine-based internalization signal in the CFTR carboxyl-terminal tail 1424YDSI1427. In the present studies, two naturally occurring cystic fibrosis mutations in the amino terminus of CFTR, R31C, and R31L were examined. To determine the defect that these mutations cause, the Arg-31 mutants were expressed in COS-7 cells and their biogenesis and trafficking to the cell surface tested in metabolic pulse-chase and surface biotinylation assays, respectively. The results indicated that both Arg-31 mutants were processed to band C at approximately 50% the efficiency of the wild-type protein. However, once processed and delivered to the cell surface, their half-lives were the same as wild-type protein. Interestingly, indirect immunofluorescence and cell surface biotinylation indicated that the surface pool was much smaller than could be accounted for based on the biogenesis defect alone. Therefore, the Arg-31 mutants were tested in internalization assays and found to be internalized at 2x the rate of the wild-type protein. Patch clamp and 6-methoxy-N-(3-sulfopropyl)quinolinium analysis confirmed reduced amounts of functional Arg-31 channels at the cell surface. Together, the results suggest that both R31C and R31L mutations compromise biogenesis and enhance internalization of CFTR. These two additive effects contribute to the loss of surface expression and the associated defect in chloride conductance that is consistent with a disease phenotype.

Abstract
The transient appearance of P-selectin on the surface of endothelial cells helps recruit leukocytes into sites of inflammation. The tight control of cell surface P-selectin on these cells depends on regulated exocytosis of Weibel-Palade bodies where the protein is stored and on its rapid endocytosis. After endocytosis, P-selectin is either sorted via endosomes and the Golgi apparatus for storage in Weibel-Palade bodies or targeted to lysosomes for degradation. A potential player in this complex endocytic itinerary is SNX17, a member of the sorting nexin family, which has been shown in a yeast two-hybrid assay to bind P-selectin. Here, we show that overexpression of SNX17 in mammalian cells can influence two key steps in the endocytic trafficking of P-selectin. First, it promotes the endocytosis of P-selectin from the plasma membrane. Second, it inhibits the movement of P-selectin into lysosomes, thereby reducing its degradation.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-dependent protein kinase A-activated chloride channel that resides on the apical surface of epithelial cells. One unusual feature of this protein is that during biogenesis, approximately 75% of wild type CFTR is degraded by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradative (ERAD) pathway. Examining the biogenesis and structural instability of the molecule has been technically challenging due to the limited amount of CFTR expressed in epithelia. Consequently, investigators have employed heterologous overexpression systems. Based on recent results that epithelial specific factors regulate both CFTR biogenesis and function, we hypothesized that CFTR biogenesis in endogenous CFTR expressing epithelial cells may be more efficient. To test this, we compared CFTR biogenesis in two epithelial cell lines endogenously expressing CFTR (Calu-3 and T84) with two heterologous expression systems (COS-7 and HeLa). Consistent with previous reports, 20 and 35% of the newly synthesized CFTR were converted to maturely glycosylated CFTR in COS-7 and HeLa cells, respectively. In contrast, CFTR maturation was virtually 100% efficient in Calu-3 and T84 cells. Furthermore, inhibition of the proteasome had no effect on CFTR biogenesis in Calu-3 cells, whereas it stabilized the immature form of CFTR in HeLa cells. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR indicated that CFTR message levels are approximately 4-fold lower in Calu-3 than HeLa cells, yet steady-state protein levels are comparable. Our results question the structural instability model of wild type CFTR and indicate that epithelial cells endogenously expressing CFTR efficiently process this protein to post-Golgi compartments.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a chloride channel that undergoes endocytosis through clathrin-coated pits. Previously, we demonstrated that Y1424A is important for CFTR endocytosis (Prince, L. S., Peter, K., Hatton, S. R., Zaliauskiene, L., Cotlin, L. F., Clancy, J. P., Marchase, R. B., and Collawn, J. F. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 3602-3609). Here we show that a second substitution in the carboxyl-terminal tail of CFTR, I1427A, on Y1424A background more than doubles CFTR surface expression as monitored by surface biotinylation. Internalization assays indicate that enhanced surface expression of Y1424A,I1427A CFTR is caused by a 76% inhibition of endocytosis. Patch clamp recording of chloride channel activity revealed that there was a corresponding increase in chloride channel activity of Y1424A,I1427A CFTR, consistent with the elevated surface expression, and no change in CFTR channel properties. Y14124A showed an intermediate phenotype compared with the double mutation, both in terms of surface expression and chloride channel activity. Metabolic pulse-chase experiments demonstrated that the two mutations did not affect maturation efficiency or protein half-life. Taken together, our data show that there is an internalization signal in the COOH terminus of CFTR that consists of Tyr(1424)-X-X-Ile(1427) where both the tyrosine and the isoleucine are essential residues. This signal regulates CFTR surface expression but not CFTR biogenesis, degradation, or chloride channel function.

Abstract
Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs) are the lysosome-related secretory organelles of endothelial cells. Their content protein von Willebrand factor, plays a key role in haemostasis, whilst P-selectin in the membranes is critical in the initiation of inflammation. Biogenesis of these rod-shaped structures is driven by von Willebrand factor, since its heterologous expression leads to formation of organelles morphologically indistinguishable from bona fide WPBs. The two main membrane proteins of WPBs, CD63 and P-selectin, have complex itineraries controlled largely by cytoplasmic targeting signals. We are only just beginning to understand the way in which these three proteins come together to form mature WPBs.

Abstract
The biogenesis of secretory lysosomes, which combine characteristics of both lysosomes and secretory granules, is currently of high interest. In particular, it is not clear whether delivery of membrane proteins to the secretory lysosome requires lysosomal, secretory granule, or some novel targeting determinants. Heterologous expression of P-selectin has established that this membrane protein contains targeting signals for both secretory granules and lysosomes. P-selectin is therefore an ideal probe with which to determine the signals required for targeting to secretory lysosomes. We have exploited subcellular fractionation and immunofluorescence microscopy to monitor targeting of transiently expressed wild-type and mutant horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-P-selectin chimeras to secretory lysosomes of Rbl-2H3 cells. The exposure of the HRP chimeras to intracellular proteolysis was also determined as a third monitor of secretory lysosome targeting. Our data show that HRP-P-selectin accumulates in secretory lysosomes of Rbl-2H3 cells using those cytoplasmic sequences previously found to be sufficient for targeting to conventional lysosomes. This work highlights the similar sorting signals used for targeting of membrane proteins to conventional lysosomes and secretory lysosomes.

Abstract
Amyloid beta protein, the major component of the senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease, is generated by secretory and endocytic processing of amyloid precursor protein. Internalized amyloid precursor protein either recycles to the plasma membrane, where alpha-secretase resides, or moves to acidic compartment(s) for beta-secretase exposure. While the trans-Golgi network contains beta-secretase activity, recent examination of the subcellular distribution of this proteinase, called BACE, has led to the suggestion that beta-secretase activity might also reside at the plasma membrane and in endosomes. To examine the role of endocytic compartments in beta-secretase processing of amyloid precursor protein, the wild-type and endosomal sorting mutant P-selectin cytoplasmic domains were used to control movement of amyloid precursor protein through endosomes. Amyloid precursor protein/P-selectin, which is sorted from early to late endosomes, undergoes significantly less alpha-secretase cleavage, and more beta-secretase cleavage, than amyloid precursor protein/P-selectin768A, a mutant that recycles more efficiently to the cell surface. Our results demonstrate that endosomal sorting influences relative exposure of the amyloid precursor protein/P-selectin chimeras to alpha- and beta-secretase activities, and suggest that, because delivery to late endocytic compartments favors beta-secretase processing of amyloid precursor protein, there is likely limited beta-secretase activity in early endosomes or at the cell surface. We propose that the trans-Golgi network may be involved in both secretory and endocytic generation of amyloid beta protein.

Abstract
P-selectin, a cell adhesion protein participating in the early stages of inflammation, contains multiple sorting signals that regulate its cell surface expression. Targeting to secretory granules regulates delivery of P-selectin to the cell surface. Internalization followed by sorting from early to late endosomes mediates rapid removal of P-selectin from the surface. We show here that the P-selectin cytoplasmic domain bound AP-2 and AP-3 adaptor complexes in vitro. The amino acid substitution L768A, which abolishes endosomal sorting and impairs granule targeting of P-selectin, reduced binding of AP-3 adaptors but not AP-2 adaptors. Turnover of P-selectin was 2.4-fold faster than turnover of transferrin receptor in AP-3-deficient mocha fibroblasts, similar to turnover of these two proteins in AP-3-competent cells, demonstrating that AP-3 function is not required for endosomal sorting. However, sorting P-selectin to secretory granules was defective in endothelial cells from AP-3-deficient pearl mice, demonstrating a role for AP-3 adaptors in granule assembly in endothelial cells. P-selectin sorting to platelet alpha-granules was normal in pearl mice, consistent with earlier evidence that granule targeting of P-selectin is mechanistically distinct in endothelial cells and platelets. These observations establish that AP-3 adaptor functions in assembly of conventional secretory granules, in addition to lysosomes and the 'lysosome-like' secretory granules of platelets and melanocytes.

Abstract
Internalization signals of the Yxx phi type (phi = bulky hydrophobic side chain) interact with the mu 2 chain of AP-2 adaptors. Internalization activity is intolerant of non-conservative substitution of either the tyrosine or the phi side chains, which bind to hydrophobic pockets in mu 2 adaptin in a conformation described as 'a two pinned plug into a socket'. P-selectin, a type I transmembrane protein, contains the Yxx phi-like sequence YGVF in its cytoplasmic domain, but substitution of either the tyrosine or phenylalanine with alanine in the full-length protein causes only small changes in the rate of endocytosis. It is shown here that the sequence YGVF contained within a peptide corresponding to the 17 COOH-terminal amino acids of P-selectin binds to mu 2 adaptin in the same fashion previously seen for other Yxx phi motifs. In addition, the P-selectin peptide binds to a third hydrophobic pocket in mu 2 adaptin through a leucine at position Y-3 in the peptide. This structure suggests that some sequences can function as a 'three pinned plug', in which internalization activity is not critically dependent on any one of the three interacting side chains.

Abstract
Prior studies on receptor recycling through late endosomes and the TGN have suggested that such traffic may be largely limited to specialized proteins that reside in these organelles. We present evidence that efficient recycling along this pathway is functionally important for nonresident proteins. P-selectin, a transmembrane cell adhesion protein involved in inflammation, is sorted from recycling cell surface receptors (e.g., low density lipoprotein [LDL] receptor) in endosomes, and is transported from the cell surface to the TGN with a half-time of 20-25 min, six to seven times faster than LDL receptor. Native P-selectin colocalizes with LDL, which is efficiently transported to lysosomes, for 20 min after internalization, but a deletion mutant deficient in endosomal sorting activity rapidly separates from the LDL pathway. Thus, P-selectin is sorted from LDL receptor in early endosomes, driving P-selectin rapidly into late endosomes. P-selectin then recycles to the TGN as efficiently as other receptors. Thus, the primary effect of early endosomal sorting of P-selectin is its rapid delivery to the TGN, with rapid turnover in lysosomes a secondary effect of frequent passage through late endosomes. This endosomal sorting event provides a mechanism for efficiently recycling secretory granule membrane proteins and, more generally, for downregulating cell surface receptors.

Abstract
How recycling receptors are segregated from down-regulated receptors in the endosome is unknown. In previous studies, we demonstrated that substitutions in the transferrin receptor (TR) transmembrane domain (TM) convert the protein from an efficiently recycling receptor to one that is rapidly down regulated. In this study, we demonstrate that the "signal" within the TM necessary and sufficient for down-regulation is Thr(11)Gln(17)Thr(19) (numbering in TM). Transplantation of these polar residues into the wild-type TR promotes receptor down-regulation that can be demonstrated by changes in protein half-life and in receptor recycling. Surprisingly, this modification dramatically increases the TR internalization rate as well ( approximately 79% increase). Sucrose gradient centrifugation and cross-linking studies reveal that propensity of the receptors to self-associate correlates with down-regulation. Interestingly, a number of cell surface proteins that contain TM polar residues are known to be efficiently down-regulated, whereas recycling receptors for low-density lipoprotein and transferrin conspicuously lack these residues. Our data, therefore, suggest a simple model in which specific residues within the TM sequences dramatically influence the fate of membrane proteins after endocytosis, providing an alternative signal for down-regulation of receptor complexes to the well-characterized cytoplasmic tail targeting signals.

Abstract
A short while ago, we could only inhibit post-Golgi membrane traffic with crude, unselective tools, such as low temperature or high extracellular sucrose. Molecular dissection of vesiculation steps has revealed unexpected complexity in the coating machinery that has initiated a search for more specific inhibitors. We have learned that membrane vesiculation is driven by a tightly regulated multicomponent, membrane-associated protein machine held together by carefully specified interaction domains. An experimental advantage of such complex interacting machinery is that it is very susceptible to disruption by dominant negative inhibitors or by overexpression. As a result, we now have much more specific inhibitors of post-Golgi membrane traffic. Some, such as dynamin K44A, may be general inhibitors, whereas others can distinguish classes of endocytotic events (10), binding events that require clathrin from those that do not (42), or specific steps of endocytosis (62). Ligand-mediated uptake of EGF and numerous, but not all, GPCRs can be inhibited by overexpression of an ARF GTPase-activating protein that has no effect on transferrin uptake (67). We can look forward to increasingly powerful and selective inhibitors that should help us to navigate successfully the complex routes of post-Golgi membrane traffic.

Abstract
In PC12 neuroendocrine cells, synaptic-like microvesicles (SLMV) are thought to be formed by two pathways. One pathway sorts the proteins to SLMV directly from the plasma membrane (or a specialized domain thereof) in an adaptor protein complex 2-dependent, brefeldin A (BFA)-insensitive manner. Another pathway operates via an endosomal intermediate, involves adaptor protein complex 3, and is BFA sensitive. We have previously shown that when expressed in PC12 cells, HRP-P-selectin chimeras are directed to SLMV mostly via the endosomal, BFA-sensitive route. We have now found that two endosomal intermediates are involved in targeting of HRP-P-selectin chimeras to SLMV. The first intermediate is the early, transferrin-positive, epidermal growth factor-positive endosome, from which exit to SLMV is controlled by the targeting determinants YGVF and KCPL, located within the cytoplasmic domain of P-selectin. The second intermediate is the late, transferrin-negative, epidermal growth factor-positive late endosome, from where HRP-P-selectin chimeras are sorted to SLMV in a YGVF- and DPSP-dependent manner. Both sorting steps, early endosomes to SLMV and late endosomes to SLMV, are affected by BFA. In addition, analysis of double mutants with alanine substitutions of KCPL and YGVF or KCPL and DPSP indicated that chimeras pass sequentially through these intermediates en route both to lysosomes and to SLMV. We conclude that a third site of formation for SLMV, the late endosomes, exists in PC12 cells.

Abstract
In order to determine if the sequence patterns known to specify internalization represent the majority of possible internalization signals, we identified random sequences capable of causing a reporter protein to be internalized at least several-fold faster than the rate of non-selective internalization of membrane by clathrin-coated pits. A library of influenza hemagglutinin (HA) proteins, bearing short random sequences in place of the wild-type cytoplasmic domain, was prepared in recombinant SV40 virus. The library was expressed and screened for HAs that could internalize anti-HA antibody from the medium. The cytoplasmic sequences of the selected proteins were determined. From a small sample of sequences we detected several that did not resemble those previously identified. The known internalization signals must represent only a subset of the sequences that can serve as internalization signals.

Abstract
The membrane proteins of all regulated secretory organelles (RSOs) recycle after exocytosis. However, the recycling of those membrane proteins that are targeted to both dense core granules (DCGs) and synaptic-like microvesicles (SLMVs) has not been addressed. Since neuroendocrine cells contain both RSOs, and the recycling routes that lead to either organelle overlap, transfer between the two pools of membrane proteins could occur during recycling. We have previously demonstrated that a chimeric protein containing the cytosolic and transmembrane domains of P-selectin coupled to horseradish peroxidase is targeted to both the DCG and the SLMV in PC12 cells. Using this chimera, we have characterized secretagogue-induced traffic in PC12 cells. After stimulation, this chimeric protein traffics from DCGs to the cell surface, internalizes into transferrin receptor (TFnR)-positive endosomes and thence to a population of secretagogue-responsive SLMVs. We therefore find a secretagogue-dependent rise in levels of HRP within SLMVs. In addition, the levels within SLMVs of the endogenous membrane protein, synaptotagmin, as well as a green fluorescent protein-tagged version of vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)/synaptobrevin, also show a secretagogue-dependent increase.

Abstract
By analyzing the trafficking of HRP-P-selectin chimeras in which the lumenal domain of P-selectin was replaced with horseradish peroxidase, we determined the sequences needed for targeting to synaptic-like microvesicles (SLMV), dense core granules (DCG), and lysosomes in neuroendocrine PC12 cells. Within the cytoplasmic domain of P-selectin, Tyr777 is needed for the appearance of P-selectin in immature and mature DCG, as well as for targeting to SLMV. The latter destination also requires additional sequences (Leu768 and 786DPSP789) which are responsible for movement through endosomes en route to the SLMV. Leu768 also mediates transfer from early transferrin (Trn)-positive endosomes to the lysosomes; i.e., operates as a lysosomal targeting signal. Furthermore, SLMV targeting of HRP-P-selectin chimeras, but not the endogenous SLMV protein synaptophysin/p38, previously shown to be delivered to SLMV directly from the plasma membrane, is a Brefeldin A-sensitive process. Together, these data are consistent with a model of SLMV biogenesis which involves an endosomal intermediate in PC12 cells. In addition, we have discovered that impairment of SLMV or DCG targeting results in a concomitant increase in lysosomal delivery, illustrating the entwined relationships between routes leading to regulated secretory organelles (RSO) and to lysosomes.
