Abstract
Golgi homeostasis require the activation of Arf GTPases by the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor requires GBF1, whose recruitment to the Golgi represents a rate limiting step in the process. GBF1 contains a conserved, catalytic, Sec7 domain (Sec7d) and five additional (DCB, HUS, HDS1-3) domains. Herein, we identify the HDS3 domain as essential for GBF1 membrane association in mammalian cells and document the critical role of HDS3 during the development of Drosophila melanogaster. We show that upon binding to Golgi membranes, GBF1 undergoes conformational changes in regions bracketing the catalytic Sec7d. We illuminate GBF1 interdomain arrangements by negative staining electron microscopy of full-length human GBF1 to show that GBF1 forms an anti-parallel dimer held together by the paired central DCB-HUS core, with two sets of HDS1-3 arms extending outward in opposite directions. The catalytic Sec7d protrudes from the central core as a largely independent domain, but is closely opposed to a previously unassigned α-helix from the HDS1 domain. Based on our data, we propose models of GBF1 engagement on the membrane to provide a paradigm for understanding GBF1-mediated Arf activation required for cellular and organismal function.

Site-specific phosphorylations of the Arf activator GBF1 differentially regulate GBF1 function in Golgi homeostasis and secretion versus cytokinesis. Sci Rep 2023; 13:13609.

Abstract
Diverse cellular processes, including membrane traffic, lipid homeostasis, cytokinesis, mitochondrial positioning, and cell motility are critically dependent on the Sec7 domain guanine nucleotide exchange factor GBF1. Yet, how the participation of GBF1 in a particular cellular function is regulated is unknown. Here, we show that the phosphorylation of specific highly conserved serine and tyrosine residues within the N-terminal domain of GBF1 differentially regulates its function in maintaining Golgi homeostasis and facilitating secretion versus its role in cytokinesis. Specifically, GBF1 mutants containing single amino acid substitutions that mimic a stably phosphorylated S233, S371, Y377, and Y515 or the S233A mutant that can't be phosphorylated are fully able to maintain Golgi architecture and support cargo traffic through the secretory pathway when assessed in multiple functional assays. However, the same mutants cause multi-nucleation when expressed in cells, and appear to inhibit the progression through mitosis and the resolution of cytokinetic bridges. Thus, GBF1 participates in distinct interactive networks when mediating Golgi homeostasis and secretion versus facilitating cytokinesis, and GBF1 integration into such networks is differentially regulated by the phosphorylation of specific GBF1 residues.

Abstract
As ultimate parasites, viruses depend on host factors for every step of their life cycle. On the other hand, cells evolved multiple mechanisms of detecting and interfering with viral replication. Yet, our understanding of the complex ensembles of pro- and anti-viral factors is very limited in virtually every virus-cell system. Here we investigated the proteins recruited to the replication organelles of poliovirus, a representative of the genus Enterovirus of the Picornaviridae family. We took advantage of a strict dependence of enterovirus replication on a host protein GBF1, and established a stable cell line expressing a truncated GBF1 fused to APEX2 peroxidase that effectively supported viral replication upon inhibition of the endogenous GBF1. This construct biotinylated multiple host and viral proteins on the replication organelles. Among the viral proteins, the polyprotein cleavage intermediates were overrepresented, suggesting that the GBF1 environment is linked to viral polyprotein processing. The proteomics characterization of biotinylated host proteins identified multiple proteins previously associated with enterovirus replication, as well as more than 200 new factors recruited to the replication organelles. RNA metabolism proteins, many of which normally localize in the nucleus, constituted the largest group, underscoring the massive release of nuclear factors into the cytoplasm of infected cells and their involvement in viral replication. Functional analysis of several newly identified proteins revealed both pro- and anti-viral factors, including a novel component of infection-induced stress granules. Depletion of these proteins similarly affected the replication of diverse enteroviruses indicating broad conservation of the replication mechanisms. Thus, our data significantly expand the knowledge of the composition of enterovirus replication organelles, provide new insights into viral replication, and offer a novel resource for identifying targets for anti-viral interventions.

Abstract
Our understanding of the ways in which peptides are used for communication in the nervous and endocrine systems began with the identification of oxytocin, vasopressin, and insulin, each of which is stored in electron-dense granules, ready for release in response to an appropriate stimulus. For each of these peptides, entry of its newly synthesized precursor into the ER lumen is followed by transport through the secretory pathway, exposing the precursor to a sequence of environments and enzymes that produce the bioactive products stored in mature granules. A final step in the biosynthesis of many peptides is C-terminal amidation by peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase (PAM), an ascorbate- and copper-dependent membrane enzyme that enters secretory granules along with its soluble substrates. Biochemical and cell biological studies elucidated the highly conserved mechanism for amidated peptide production and raised many questions about PAM trafficking and the effects of PAM on cytoskeletal organization and gene expression. Phylogenetic studies and the discovery of active PAM in the ciliary membranes of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a green alga lacking secretory granules, suggested that a PAM-like enzyme was present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor. While the catalytic features of human and C. reinhardtii PAM are strikingly similar, the trafficking of PAM in C. reinhardtii and neuroendocrine cells and secretion of its amidated products differ. A comparison of PAM function in neuroendocrine cells, atrial myocytes, and C. reinhardtii reveals multiple ways in which altered trafficking allows PAM to accomplish different tasks in different species and cell types.

Abstract
The components and subprocesses underlying the formation of COPI-coated vesicles at the Golgi are well understood. The coating cascade is initiated after the small GTPase Arf1 is activated by the Sec7 domain–containing guanine nucleotide exchange factor GBF1 (Golgi brefeldin A resistant guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1). This causes a conformational shift within Arf1 that facilitates stable association of Arf1 with the membrane, a process required for subsequent recruitment of the COPI coat. Although we have atomic-level knowledge of Arf1 activation by Sec7 domain–containing GEFs, our understanding of the biophysical processes regulating Arf1 and GBF1 dynamics is limited. We used fluorescence recovery after photobleaching data and kinetic Monte Carlo simulation to assess the behavior of Arf1 and GBF1 during COPI vesicle formation in live cells. Our analyses suggest that Arf1 and GBF1 associate with Golgi membranes independently, with an excess of GBF1 relative to Arf1. Furthermore, the GBF1-mediated Arf1 activation is much faster than GBF1 cycling on/off the membrane, suggesting that GBF1 is regulated by processes other than its interactions Arf1. Interestingly, modeling the behavior of the catalytically inactive GBF1/E794K mutant stabilized on the membrane is inconsistent with the formation of a stable complex between it and an endogenous Arf1 and suggests that GBF1/E794K is stabilized on the membrane independently of complex formation.

Abstract
The discovery of atrial secretory granules and the natriuretic peptides stored in them identified the atrium as an endocrine organ. Although neither atrial nor brain natriuretic peptide (ANP, BNP) is amidated, the major membrane protein in atrial granules is peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase (PAM), an enzyme essential for amidated peptide biosynthesis. Mice lacking cardiomyocyte PAM (Pam Myh6-cKO/cKO) are viable, but a gene dosage-dependent drop in atrial ANP and BNP content occurred. Ultrastructural analysis of adult Pam Myh6-cKO/cKO atria revealed a 13-fold drop in the number of secretory granules. When primary cultures of Pam 0-Cre-cKO/cKO atrial myocytes (no Cre recombinase, PAM floxed) were transduced with Cre-GFP lentivirus, PAM protein levels dropped, followed by a decline in ANP precursor (proANP) levels. Expression of exogenous PAM in Pam Myh6-cKO/cKO atrial myocytes produced a dose-dependent rescue of proANP content; strikingly, this response did not require the monooxygenase activity of PAM. Unlike many prohormones, atrial proANP is stored intact. A threefold increase in the basal rate of proANP secretion by Pam Myh6-cKO/cKO myocytes was a major contributor to its reduced levels. While proANP secretion was increased following treatment of control cultures with drugs that block the activation of Golgi-localized Arf proteins and COPI vesicle formation, proANP secretion by Pam Myh6-cKO/cKO myocytes was unaffected. In cells lacking secretory granules, expression of exogenous PAM led to the accumulation of fluorescently tagged proANP in the cis-Golgi region. Our data indicate that COPI vesicle-mediated recycling of PAM from the cis-Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum plays an essential role in the biogenesis of proANP containing atrial granules.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV), a plus-sense RNA virus, utilizes host intracellular membrane organelles for its replication. Our previous studies have shown that disruption of the intracellular membrane-trafficking events can inhibit CSFV replication. However, the underlying mechanism of this process in CSFV infection has not been elucidated. To determine the role of Golgi-associated anterograde and retrograde trafficking in CSFV replication, we revealed the effect of vesicular transport between Golgi and ER inhibitors Brefeldin A (BFA) and 2,2-methyl-N-(2,4,6,-trimethoxyphenyl) dodecanamide (CI-976), the GBF1 inhibitor golgicide A (GCA) on virus production. Our results showed that disruption of vesicular trafficking by BFA, CI-976, and GCA significantly inhibited CSFV infection. Subsequent experiments revealed that knockdown of Rab1b by lentiviruses and negative-mutant Rab1b-N121I transfection inhibited CSFV infection. Furthermore, we showed that the Rab1b downstream vesicular component effectors GBF1, and class I and class II ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) were also involved in virus replication. In addition, confocal microscopy assay showed that CSFV infection disrupted the Golgi apparatus resulting in extended Golgi distribution around the nucleus. We also showed that cell secretory pathway, measured using Gaussia luciferase flash assay, was blocked in CSFV infected cells. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that CSFV utilizes Rab1b-GBF1-ARFs mediated trafficking to promote its own replication. These findings also provide new insights into the intracellular trafficking pathways utilized for CSFV life cycle.

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

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