Mol Biol Rep 2024; 51:564. [PMID: 38647725 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-024-09516-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) and the small GTPase protein Ras-related protein Rab-22 A (RAB22A) may be colocalized in the cytoplasm and that as a conequence they may enhance the formation of microvesicles in breast cancer cells under hypoxia. Therefore, we sought to determine whether these two proteins are present in intracellular complexes in breast carcinoma cells. METHODS AND RESULTS Evaluation using molecular docking indicated that HIF-1α and RAB22A interact with each other. Co-immunoprecipitation of endogenous or ectopically expressed HIF-1α and RAB22A proteins in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells or HEK-293T cells demonstrated that endogenous HIF-1α and RAB22A can form an intracellular complex; however, transiently expressed HIF-1α and RAB22A failed to interact. Investigating RAB22A and HIF-1α interactions in various cancer cell lines under hypoxia may shed light on their roles in cancer cell survival and progression through regulation of intracellular trafficking by HIF-1α under hypoxic conditions. CONCLUSIONS Our study is the first to reveal the potential involvement of HIF-1α in intracellular trafficking through physical interactions with the small GTPase protein RAB22A. We discuss the implications of our work on the role of exosomes and microvesicles in tumor invasiveness.

Abstract
Small GTPases have been shown to play an important role in several cellular functions, including cytoskeletal remodeling, cell polarity, intracellular trafficking, cell-cycle, progression and lipid transformation. The Ras-associated binding (Rab) family of GTPases constitutes the largest family of GTPases and consists of almost 70 known members of small GTPases in humans, which are known to play an important role in the regulation of intracellular membrane trafficking, membrane identity, vesicle budding, uncoating, motility and fusion of membranes. Mutations in Rab genes can cause a wide range of inherited genetic diseases, ranging from neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) to immune dysregulation/deficiency syndromes, like Griscelli Syndrome Type II (GS-II) and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), as well as a variety of cancers. Here, we provide an extended overview of human Rabs, discussing their function and diseases related to Rabs and Rab effectors, as well as focusing on effects of (aberrant) Rab expression. We aim to underline their importance in health and the development of genetic and malignant diseases by assessing their role in cellular structure, regulation, function and biology and discuss the possible use of stem cell gene therapy, as well as targeting of Rabs in order to treat malignancies, but also to monitor recurrence of cancer and metastasis through the use of Rabs as biomarkers. Future research should shed further light on the roles of Rabs in the development of multifactorial diseases, such as diabetes and assess Rabs as a possible treatment target.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV), which is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus with an envelope, is a member of the Pestivirus genus in the Flaviviridae family. CSFV causes a severe and highly contagious disease in pigs and is prevalent worldwide, threatening the pig farming industry. The detailed mechanisms of the CSFV life cycle have been reported, but are still limited. Some receptors and attachment factors of CSFV, including heparan sulfate (HS), laminin receptor (LamR), complement regulatory protein (CD46), MER tyrosine kinase (MERTK), disintegrin, and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 17 (ADAM17), were identified. After attachment, CSFV internalizes via clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) and/or caveolae/raft-dependent endocytosis (CavME). After internalization, CSFV moves to early and late endosomes before uncoating. During this period, intracellular trafficking of CSFV relies on components of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) and Rab proteins in the endosome dynamics, with a dependence on the cytoskeleton network. This review summarizes the data on the mechanisms of CSFV attachment, internalization pathways, and intracellular trafficking, and provides a general view of the early events in the CSFV life cycle.

Abstract
The small GTPase Rab22A is an important regulator of the formation of tubular endosomes, which are one of the types of recycling endosome compartments of the clathrin-independent endocytosis pathway. In order to regulate tubular endosome formation, Rab22A must be activated by a specific guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF); however, all of the GEFs that have been reported to exhibit Rab22A-GEF activity in vitro also activate Rab5A, an essential regulator of the clathrin-mediated endocytosis pathway, and no Rab22A-specific GEF has ever been identified. Here, we identified Vps9d1, a previously uncharacterized vacuolar protein sorting 9 (VPS9) domain-containing protein, as a novel Rab22A-GEF. The formation of tubular endosome structures was found to be severely impaired in Vps9d1-depleted HeLa cells, but Rab5A localization was unaffected. Expression of a constitutively active Rab22A mutant in Vps9d1-depleted HeLa cells restored tubular endosomes, but expression of a GEF-activity-deficient Vps9d1 mutant did not. Moreover, Vps9d1 depletion altered the distribution of clathrin-independent endocytosed cargos and impaired their recycling. Our findings indicate that Vps9d1 promotes tubular endosome formation by specifically activating Rab22A.

Abstract
Uveal melanoma (UM), a frequently seen adulthood primary ocular malignancy, shows high aggressiveness. Accumulating studies have revealed the crucial effects of microRNAs (miRNAs) on tumorigenesis and development in various human tumors. miR-204, the cancer-associated miRNA, shows dysregulation and is related to several human malignancies, but its effect on UM remains unknown. The present work focused on exploring miR-204's effect on UM and elucidating its possible molecular mechanisms. According to our results, miR-204 expression markedly increased within both UM tissues and cell lines. As revealed by functional analysis, miR-204 suppressed UM cell invasion and migration. Besides, RAB22A expression decreased through directly binding miR-204 into the corresponding 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) in UM cells. Furthermore, the RAB22A mRNA level increased, which was negatively related to the miR-204 level within UM samples. As revealed by mechanical research, miR-204 exerted its inhibition on the invasion and migration of UM cells via RAB22A. Taken together, this study suggested the tumor-suppressing effect of miR-204 on UM through down-regulating RAB22A. Thus, miR-204 may serve as the new anti-UM therapeutic target.

Abstract
Background The protein-coding gene RAB22A, a member of the RAS oncogene family, is amplified or overexpressed in certain cancers. However, its action mechanism in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. Here, we aimed to examine the connection between RAB22A and survival prognosis in HCC and explore the biological significance of RAB22A. Methods A database-based pan-cancer expression analysis of RAB22A was performed. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression were performed to evaluate the association between RAB22A expression and survival prognosis in HCC. Using Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), various potential biological functions and regulatory pathways of RAB22A in HCC were discovered. Tumor immune infiltration was studied using the single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) method. N6-methyladenosine modifications and the regulatory network of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) were verified in the TCGA cohort. Results RAB22A was upregulated in HCC samples and cell lines. A high RAB22A expression in HCC was strongly correlated with sex, race, age, weight, TNM stage, pathological stage, tumor status, histologic grade, TP53 mutation status, and alpha fetal protein (AFP) levels. Overexpression of RAB22A indicated a poor prognosis was related to overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and progression-free interval (PFI). GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the differentially expressed genes related to RAB22A might be involved in the proteasomal protein catabolic process, ncRNA processing, ribosome ribosomal subunit, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, protein serine kinase activity, Endocytosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. GSEA analyses revealed that the differentially expressed genes related to RAB22A might be involved in the T cell receptor, a co-translational protein, that binds to the membrane, axon guidance, ribosome, phagocytosis, and Eukaryotic translation initiation. RAB22A was correlated with N6-methyladenosine expression in HCC and established RAB22A-related ceRNA regulatory networks. Finally,RAB22A expression was positively connected the levels of infiltrating with T helper cells, Tcm cells, and Th2 cells,In contrast, we observed negatively correlations with cytotoxic cells, DCs, and pDCs cells.Moreover,RAB22A expression showed a strong correlation with various immunomarkergroups in HCC. Conclusions RAB22A is a potential therapeutic target for improving HCC prognosis and is closely related to immune cell infiltration.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Within a cell, vesicles play a crucial role in the transport of membrane material and proteins to a given target membrane, and thus regulate a variety of cellular functions. Vesicular transport occurs by means of, among others, endocytosis, where cargoes are taken up by the cell and are processed further upon vesicular trafficking, i.e. transported back to the plasma membrane via recycling endosomes or the degraded by fusion of the vesicles with lysosomes. During evolution, a variety of vesicles with individual functions arose, with some of them building up highly specialised subcellular compartments. In this study, we have analysed the biosynthesis of a new vesicular compartment present in the valve cells of Drosophila melanogaster. We show that the compartment is formed by invaginations of the plasma membrane and grows via re-routing of the recycling endosomal pathway. This is achieved by inactivation of other membrane-consuming pathways and a plasma membrane-like molecular signature of the compartment in these highly specialised heart cells.

Abstract
Rab22 and Rab31 belong to the Rab5 subfamily of GTPases that regulates endocytic traffic and endosomal sorting. Rab22 and Rab31 (a.k.a. Rab22b) are closely related and share 87% amino acid sequence similarity, but they show distinct intracellular localization and function in the cell. Rab22 is localized to early endosomes and regulates early endosomal recycling, while Rab31 is mostly localized to the Golgi complex with only a small fraction in the endosomes at steady state. The specific determinants that affect this differential localization, however, are unclear. In this study, we identify a novel membrane targeting domain (MTD) consisting of the C-terminal hypervariable domain (HVD), inter-switch loop (ISL), and N-terminal domain as a major determinant of endosomal localization for Rab22 and Rab31, as well as Rab5. Rab22 and Rab31 share the same N-terminal domain, but we find Rab22 chimeras with Rab31 HVD exhibit phenotypic Rab31 localization to the Golgi complex while Rab31 chimeras with the Rab22 HVD localize to early endosomes, similar to wild type Rab22. We also find that the Rab22 HVD favors interaction with the early endosomal effector protein Rabenosyn-5, which may stabilize the Rab localization to the endosomes. The importance of effector interaction in endosomal localization is further demonstrated by the disruption of Rab22 endosomal localization in Rabenosyn-5 knockout cells and by the shift of Rab31 to the endosomes in Rabenosyn-5 overexpressing cells. Taken together, we have identified a novel MTD that mediates localization of Rab5 subfamily members to early endosomes via interaction with an effector such as Rabenosyn-5.

Rab22a Promotes Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma by Activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:1874550.

Abstract
Background Rab22a is a member of the RAS superfamily, involved in early endosome formation and intracellular vesicle transport. Rab22a is significantly upregulated in a variety of malignant tumors. However, its function in thyroid cancer has never been addressed. Methods The expression of Rab22a in paraffin sections of 101 patients was detected by immunohistochemical staining. By upregulating and downregulating the expression of Rab22a in thyroid cancer cell lines, the effect of Rab22a on cell proliferation, invasion, and migration was analyzed. Co-IP was employed, and the interaction between Rab22a and PI3Kp85α was shown. The function of Rab22a on PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was further studied by western blot analysis. Results Immunostaining showed that Rab22a was significantly overexpressed in thyroid cancer tissues but negative in adjacent normal tissues or nodular goiters. The proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT in papillary thyroid carcinoma cell lines were enhanced upon Rab22a overexpression but inhibited after knocking down Rab22a. The co-IP assay demonstrated an interaction between Rab22a and PI3K85α, an effector of PI3K. We further found that Rab22a can activate the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. However, the ability of Rab22a to promote the proliferation, invasion, migration, and EMT of papillary thyroid carcinoma cells was significantly inhibited after being treated with LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor. Conclusions Rab22a can promote the EMT process and enhance proliferation, migration, and invasion of papillary thyroid carcinoma cells by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Our study provides new pathological diagnosis clues and clinical treatment targets for thyroid cancer.

Abstract
Host interferons (IFNs) powerfully restrict viruses through the action of several hundred IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) products, many of which remain uncharacterized. Here, using RNAi screening, we identify several ISG restriction factors with previously undescribed contributions to IFN-mediated defense. Notably, RABGAP1L, a Tre2/Bub2/Cdc16 (TBC)-domain-containing protein involved in regulation of small membrane-bound GTPases, robustly potentiates IFN action against influenza A viruses (IAVs). Functional studies reveal that the catalytically active TBC domain of RABGAP1L promotes antiviral activity, and the RABGAP1L proximal interactome uncovered its association with proteins involved in endosomal sorting, maturation, and trafficking. In this regard, RABGAP1L overexpression is sufficient to disrupt endosomal function during IAV infection and restricts an early post-attachment, but pre-fusion, stage of IAV cell entry. Other RNA viruses that enter cells primarily via endocytosis are also impaired by RABGAP1L, while entry promiscuous SARS-CoV-2 is resistant. Our data highlight virus endocytosis as a key target for host defenses.

[PMID: 34989145 PMCID: PMC8841703 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.14300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2021] [Revised: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common cancer in the United States. Previous studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) can affect NSCLC progression, but its regulatory mechanism is still indistinct. In this study, we unfold the roles of circular RNA_0007385 in NSCLC tissues and cells. METHODS Expression levels of circ_0007385, microRNA-493-3p (miR-493-3p) and Ras-related protein Rab-22A (RAB22A) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in NSCLC tissues and cells. Cell proliferation, apoptosis and stemness were examined by cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) assay, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, flow cytometry analysis and sphere-formation assay. The interaction between miR-493-3p and circ_0007385 or RAB22A was forecasted by bioinformatic analysis and detected by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pulldown assays. In vivo experiments were implemented to verify the effect of circ_0007385 in vivo. RESULTS Expression of circ_0007385 and RAB22A increased, whereas miR-493-3p level was decreased in NSCLC tissues in contrast to that in normal tissues. For functional analysis, circ_0007385 deficiency inhibited cell proliferation and stemness, whereas it promoted cell apoptosis in NSCLC cells. Mechanically, circ_0007385 acted as a miR-493-3p sponge to modulate RAB22A expression. Moreover, circ_0007385 could regulate the development of NSCLC by sponging miR-493-3p to regulate the expression of RAB22A. In addition, circ_0007385 silence also attenuated tumor growth in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Circ_0007385 promoted NSCLC progression by sponging miR-493-3p to increase RAB22A expression, which also offered an underlying targeted therapy for NSCLC treatment.

Abstract
Despite the fact that transmembrane proteins represent the main therapeutic targets for decades, complete and in-depth knowledge about their biochemical and pharmacological profiling is not fully available. In this regard, target-tailored small-molecule fluorescent ligands are a viable approach to fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle. Such tools, coupled with the ability of high-precision optical techniques to image with an unprecedented resolution at a single-molecule level, helped unraveling many of the conundrums related to plasma proteins' life-cycle and druggability. Herein, we review the recent progress made during the last two decades in fluorescent ligand design and potential applications in fluorescence microscopy of voltage-gated ion channels, ligand-gated ion channels and G-coupled protein receptors.

Abstract
Rab5 and Rab7a are the main determinants of early and late endosomes and are important regulators of endosomal progression. The transport from early endosomes to late endosome seems to be regulated through an endosomal maturation switch, where Rab5 is gradually exchanged by Rab7a on the same endosome. Here, we provide new insight into the mechanism of endosomal maturation, for which we have discovered a stepwise Rab5 detachment, sequentially regulated by Rab7a. The initial detachment of Rab5 is Rab7a independent and demonstrates a diffusion-like first-phase exchange between the cytosol and the endosomal membrane, and a second phase, in which Rab5 converges into specific domains that detach as a Rab5 indigenous endosome. Consequently, we show that early endosomal maturation regulated through the Rab5-to-Rab7a switch induces the formation of new fully functional Rab5-positive early endosomes. Progression through stepwise early endosomal maturation regulates the direction of transport and, concomitantly, the homeostasis of early endosomes. Highlighted Article: A crucial step in endosomal maturation is the exchange of Rab5 with Rab7a, and we show that this two-phase exchange is finalized by the formation of Rab5-positive early endosomes.

Abstract
Rab GTPases are essentially molecular switches. They serve as master regulators in intracellular membrane trafficking from the formation and transport of vesicles at the originating organelle to its fusion to the membrane at the target organelle. Their functions are diversified and each has their specific subcellular location. Their expression may vary significantly in the same cell when the level of protein production is significantly different in different physiologic status. One of the best examples is the transition from fetal to mature status of cells. Expression and localization of Rab GTPases in mature and developing brains have not been well studied. Immunohistochemistry is an efficient way in the detection, semiquantitation, and localization of Rab GTPases in tissue sections. It is inexpensive and fast which allow efficient mass screening of many sections. In this chapter, we describe the immunohistochemical assay protocol for analyzing several Rab protein expressions of the Rab5 subfamily, including Rab5, Rab17, Rab22, and Rab31, in developmental (fetal) and mature human brains.

Abstract
The skeletal muscle T-tubule is a specialized membrane domain essential for coordinated muscle contraction. However, in the absence of genetically tractable systems the mechanisms involved in T-tubule formation are unknown. Here, we use the optically transparent and genetically tractable zebrafish system to probe T-tubule development in vivo. By combining live imaging of transgenic markers with three-dimensional electron microscopy, we derive a four-dimensional quantitative model for T-tubule formation. To elucidate the mechanisms involved in T-tubule formation in vivo, we develop a quantitative screen for proteins that associate with and modulate early T-tubule formation, including an overexpression screen of the entire zebrafish Rab protein family. We propose an endocytic capture model involving firstly, formation of dynamic endocytic tubules at transient nucleation sites on the sarcolemma, secondly, stabilization by myofibrils/sarcoplasmic reticulum and finally, delivery of membrane from the recycling endosome and Golgi complex.

Abstract
Membrane trafficking establishes and maintains epithelial polarity. Rab22a has a polarized distribution in activated T-cells, but its role in epithelial polarity has not been investigated. We showed previously that Rab14 acts upstream of Arf6 to establish the apical membrane initiation site (AMIS), but its interaction with Rab22a is unknown. Here we show that Rab14 and Rab22a colocalize in endosomes of both unpolarized and polarized MDCK cells and Rab22a localizes to the cell:cell interface of polarizing cell pairs. Knockdown of Rab22a results in a multi-lumen phenotype in three-dimensional culture. Further, overexpression of Rab22a in Rab14 knockdown cells rescues the multi-lumen phenotype observed with Rab14 knockdown, suggesting that Rab22a is downstream of Rab14. Because of the relationship between Rab14 and Arf6, we investigated the effect of Rab22a knockdown on Arf6. We find that Rab22a knockdown results in decreased active Arf6 and that Rab22a co-immunoprecipitates with the Arf6 GEF EFA6. In addition, EFA6 is retained in intracellular puncta in Rab22a KD cells. These results suggest that Rab22a acts downstream of Rab14 to traffic EFA6 to the AMIS to regulate Arf6 in the establishment of polarity.

Abstract
Papillomaviruses (PVs) were the first viruses recognized to cause tumors and cancers in mammalian hosts by Shope, nearly a century ago (Shope and Hurst, 1933). Over 40 years ago, zur Hausen (1976) first proposed that human papillomaviruses (HPVs) played a role in cervical cancer; in 2008, he shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his abundant contributions demonstrating the etiology of HPVs in genital cancers. Despite effective vaccines and screening, HPV infection and morbidity remain a significant worldwide burden, with HPV infections and HPV-related cancers expected increase through 2040. Although HPVs have long-recognized roles in tumorigenesis and cancers, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which these viruses interact with cells and usurp cellular processes to initiate infections and produce progeny virions is limited. This is due to longstanding challenges in both obtaining well-characterized infectious virus stocks and modeling tissue-based infection and the replicative cycles in vitro. In the last 20 years, the development of methods to produce virus-like particles (VLPs) and pseudovirions (PsV) along with more physiologically relevant cell- and tissue-based models has facilitated progress in this area. However, many questions regarding HPV infection remain difficult to address experimentally and are, thus, unanswered. Although an obligatory cellular uptake receptor has yet to be identified for any PV species, Rab-GTPases contribute to HPV uptake and transport of viral genomes toward the nucleus. Here, we provide a general overview of the current HPV infection paradigm, the epithelial differentiation-dependent HPV replicative cycle, and review the specifics of how HPVs usurp Rab-related functions during infectious entry. We also suggest other potential interactions based on how HPVs alter cellular activities to complete their replicative-cycle in differentiating epithelium. Understanding how HPVs interface with Rab functions during their complex replicative cycle may provide insight for the development of therapeutic interventions, as current viral counter-measures are solely prophylactic and therapies for HPV-positive individuals remain archaic and limited.

Abstract
During MHC-I-restricted antigen processing, peptides generated by cytosolic proteasomes are translocated by the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) into the endoplasmic reticulum, where they bind to newly synthesized MHC-I molecules. Dendritic cells and other cell types can also generate MHC-I complexes with peptides derived from internalized proteins, a process called cross-presentation. Here, we show that active proteasomes within cross-presenting cell phagosomes can generate these peptides. Active proteasomes are detectable within endocytic compartments in mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. In TAP-deficient mouse dendritic cells, cross-presentation is enhanced by the introduction of human β2 -microglobulin, which increases surface expression of MHC-I and suggests a role for recycling MHC-I molecules. In addition, surface MHC-I can be reduced by proteasome inhibition and stabilized by MHC-I-restricted peptides. This is consistent with constitutive proteasome-dependent but TAP-independent peptide loading in the endocytic pathway. Rab-GTPase mutants that restrain phagosome maturation increase proteasome recruitment and enhance TAP-independent cross-presentation. Thus, phagosomal/endosomal binding of peptides locally generated by proteasomes allows cross-presentation to generate MHC-I-peptide complexes identical to those produced by conventional antigen processing.

YIPF2 is a novel Rab-GDF that enhances HCC malignant phenotypes by facilitating CD147 endocytic recycle. Cell Death Dis 2019; 10:462.

Abstract
An increased surface level of CIE (clathrin-independent endocytosis) proteins is a new feature of malignant neoplasms. CD147 is a CIE glycoprotein highly up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The ability to sort out the early endosome and directly target the recycling pathway confers on CD147 a prolonged surface half-life. However, current knowledge on CD147 trafficking to and from the cell-surface is limited. In this study, an MSP (membrane and secreted protein)-cDNA library was screened against EpoR/LR-F3/CD147EP-expressed cells by MAPPIT (mammalian protein–protein interaction trap). CD147 co-expressing with the new binder was investigated by GEPIA (gene expression profiling interactive analysis). The endocytosis, ER-Golgi trafficking and recycling of CD147 were measured by confocal imaging, flow cytometry, and biotin-labeled chase assays, respectively. Rab GTPase activation was checked by GST-RBD pull-down and MMP activity was measured by gelatin zymography. HCC malignant phenotypes were determined by cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, Transwell motility, and invasion assays. An ER-Golgi-resident transmembrane protein YIPF2 was identified as an intracellular binder to CD147. YIPF2 correlated and co-expressed with CD147, which is a survival predictor for HCC patients. YIPF2 is critical for CD147 glycosylation and trafficking functions in HCC cells. YIPF2 acts as a Rab-GDF (GDI-displacement factor) regulating three independent trafficking steps. First, YIPF2 recruits and activates Rab5 and Rab22a GTPases to the endomembrane structures. Second, YIPF2 modulates the endocytic recycling of CD147 through distinctive regulation on Rab5 and Rab22a. Third, YIPF2 mediates the mature processing of CD147 via the ER-Golgi trafficking route. Decreased YIPF2 expression induced a CD147 efficient delivery to the cell-surface, promoted MMP secretion, and enhanced the adhesion, motility, migration, and invasion behaviors of HCC cells. Thus, YIPF2 is a new trafficking determinant essential for CD147 glycosylation and transport. Our findings revealed a novel YIPF2-controlled ER-Golgi trafficking signature that promotes CD147-medated malignant phenotypes in HCC.

Abstract
To explore microRNA (miR)-193b expression and its potential role in colon cancer, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the miR-193b expression levels in 62 colon cancer tissues and normal adjacent tissues. The miR-193b-overexpressed cell line SW620 was used to study the role of miR-193b in colon cancer. Subsequently, a Transwell assay and cell cycle assay were performed to observe the functional cell changes in the in vitro expression levels of miR-193b. Results indicated that miR-193b expression levels were significantly decreased in colon cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal tissue (P<0.001) and the expression of miR-193b was significantly correlated with TNM staging (P=0.03) and lymph node invasion (P=0.007). Furthermore, overexpression of miR-193b significantly decreased colon cancer cell cycle progression and its migration ability. In addition, the present findings suggested that the increased expression of miR-193b by RAB22A, inhibited downstream proteins involved in the Ras signaling pathway, including the Ras and extracellular signal-related kinase which may inhibit cancer proliferation and migration. In conclusion, the aim was to clarify the association of miR-193b expression with colon cancer, and to explore the mechanism of miR-193b in colon cancer proliferation and cell migration. The preliminary findings revealed that miR-193b may have an important role in the process in colon cancer cell cycle and migration by the RAB22A-Ras signaling pathway, thus providing a theoretical basis for miR-193b as a potential molecular target for colon cancer treatment.

[PMID: 30797154 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2019.108695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 91] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2018] [Revised: 02/14/2019] [Accepted: 02/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
To elucidate the potential function of lncRNA SNHG3 in the development of osteosarcoma. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was conducted for detection of SNHG3, miRNA-151a-3p and RAB22 A in osteosarcoma tissues and cells. Receiver operating characteristic curve was introduced to analyze the diagnostic potential of SNHG3 in osteosarcoma. Correlation between SNHG3 expression and the overall survival of osteosarcoma patients was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier method. Invasive and migratory potentials of osteosarcoma cells were examined by Transwell assay. Furthermore, dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, RNA-pull down and RIP assay were used to verify the binding of SNHG3/RAB22 A to miRNA-151a-3p. The function of SNHG3/miRNA-151a-3p/RAB22 A axis in osteosarcoma was finally confirmed by rescue experiments. SNHG3 and RAB22 A were highly expressed in osteosarcoma patients, while miRNA-151a-3p was lowly expressed. The overall survival of osteosarcoma patients with high expression of SNHG3 was shorter than those with low expression. SNHG3 overexpression markedly promoted invasive and migratory potentials of osteosarcoma cells. Through dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, both SNHG3 and RAB22 A could bind to miRNA-151a-3p. RAB22 A expression was positively regulated by SNHG3, but negatively regulated by miRNA-151a-3p. Finally, rescue experiments confirmed that RAB22 A overexpression could reverse the promotive effects of miRNA-151a-3p knockdown on invasive and migratory potentials of osteosarcoma cells. SNHG3 is highly expressed in osteosarcoma, and promotes the invasive and migratory potentials of osteosarcoma cells by absorbing miRNA-151a-3p to upregulate RAB22 A expression.

Abstract
Recycling endosomes are stations that sort endocytic cargoes to their appropriate destinations. Tubular endosomes have been characterized as a recycling endosomal compartment for clathrin-independent cargoes. However, the molecular mechanism by which tubular endosome formation is regulated is poorly understood. In this study, we identified Rab10 as a novel protein localized at tubular endosomes by using a comprehensive localization screen of EGFP-tagged Rab small GTPases. Knockout of Rab10 completely abolished tubular endosomal structures in HeLaM cells. We also identified kinesin motors KIF13A and KIF13B as novel Rab10-interacting proteins by means of in silico screening. The results of this study demonstrated that both the Rab10-binding homology domain and the motor domain of KIF13A are required for Rab10-positive tubular endosome formation. Our findings provide insight into the mechanism by which the Rab10-KIF13A (or KIF13B) complex regulates tubular endosome formation. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) molecules are glycoproteins that display peptide epitopes at the cell surface of nucleated cells for recognition by CD8+ T cells. Like other cell surface receptors, MHC class I molecules are continuously removed from the surface followed by intracellular degradation or recycling to the cell surface, in a process likely involving active quality control the mechanism of which remains unknown. The molecular players and pathways involved in internalization and recycling have previously been studied in model cell lines such as HeLa. However, dendritic cells (DCs), which rely on a specialized endocytic machinery that confers them the unique ability to “cross”-present antigens acquired by internalization, may use distinct MHC I recycling pathways and quality control mechanisms. By providing MHC I molecules cross-presenting antigens, these pathways may play an important role in one of the key functions of DCs, priming of T cell responses against pathogens and tumors. In this review, we will focus on endocytic recycling of MHC I molecules in various experimental conditions and cell types. We discuss the organization of the recycling pathway in model cell lines compared to DCs, highlighting the differences in the recycling rates and pathways of MHC I molecules between various cell types, and their putative functional consequences. Reviewing the literature, we find that conclusive evidence for significant recycling of MHC I molecules in primary DCs has yet to be demonstrated. We conclude that endocytic trafficking of MHC class I in DCs remains poorly understood and should be further studied because of its likely role in antigen cross-presentation.

Abstract
Recycling endosomes (REs) are transient endosomal tubular intermediates of early/sorting endosomes (E/SEs) that function in cargo recycling to the cell surface and deliver the cell type‐specific cargo to lysosome‐related organelles such as melanosomes in melanocytes. However, the mechanism of RE biogenesis is largely unknown. In this study, by using an endosomal Rab‐specific RNAi screen, we identified Rab22A as a critical player during RE biogenesis. Rab22A‐knockdown results in reduced RE dynamics and concurrent cargo accumulation in the E/SEs or lysosomes. Rab22A forms a complex with BLOC‐1, BLOC‐2 and the kinesin‐3 family motor KIF13A on endosomes. Consistently, the RE‐dependent transport defects observed in Rab22A‐depleted cells phenocopy those in BLOC‐1‐/BLOC‐2‐deficient cells. Further, Rab22A depletion reduced the membrane association of BLOC‐1/BLOC‐2. Taken together, these findings suggest that Rab22A promotes the assembly of a BLOC‐1‐BLOC‐2‐KIF13A complex on E/SEs to generate REs that maintain cellular and organelle homeostasis.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the main types of cancer affecting the health of females worldwide. Despite improvements in therapeutic approaches, cancer patients succumb to the disease due to metastasis itself, rather than the primary tumor from which metastases arise, emphasizing the need for the better understanding of the biological bases that contribute to disease progression. RAB22A, a member of the proto-oncogene RAS family, plays an important role in the formation, trafficking and metabolism of exosomes, and is associated with the occurrence and development of multiple human cancers. In this study, we demonstrate that the upregulation of RAB22A is associated with breast cancer progression and lymph node metastasis. We identified a signature of RAB22A and miR-193b that exhibited a negative association in metastatic as opposed to the surrounding normal cells, and RAB22A was identified as the target gene of miR-193b. While RAB22A was found to regulate exosomes-mediated breast cancer cell proliferation, invasion and migration, these biological characteristics were diminished in the breast cancer cells in which the RAB22A gene was knocked down or in the cells in which the exosomes were dissolved by proteinase K/RNase treatment. On the whole, the findings of this study demonstrate the critical role that miR-193b plays in the regulation of RAB22A-mediated exosome function during cancer growth and metastasis, which may have significant implications on cancer therapy.

Abstract
The early endosome (EE), also known as the sorting endosome (SE) is a crucial station for the sorting of cargoes, such as receptors and lipids, through the endocytic pathways. The term endosome relates to the receptacle-like nature of this organelle, to which endocytosed cargoes are funneled upon internalization from the plasma membrane. Having been delivered by the fusion of internalized vesicles with the EE or SE, cargo molecules are then sorted to a variety of endocytic pathways, including the endo-lysosomal pathway for degradation, direct or rapid recycling to the plasma membrane, and to a slower recycling pathway that involves a specialized form of endosome known as a recycling endosome (RE), often localized to the perinuclear endocytic recycling compartment (ERC). It is striking that 'the endosome', which plays such essential cellular roles, has managed to avoid a precise description, and its characteristics remain ambiguous and heterogeneous. Moreover, despite the rapid advances in scientific methodologies, including breakthroughs in light microscopy, overall, the endosome remains poorly defined. This Review will attempt to collate key characteristics of the different types of endosomes and provide a platform for discussion of this unique and fascinating collection of organelles. Moreover, under-developed, poorly understood and important open questions will be discussed.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) trigger CD8 + T cell responses after the internalization of exogenous antigens in a process called cross-presentation. Multiple intracellular transport events within the endocytic and secretory routes take place in order to accomplish this fundamental immunological process. The endomembrane system can be envisioned as a complex network of membrane domains coordinately working in the fusion of organelles, the budding of vesicles and tubules, and modifying the molecular composition of the limiting membranes. In this context of tightly regulated and dynamic endomembrane transport, small GTPases of the Rab family display a pivotal role by organizing membrane microdomains and defining specific identities to the different intracellular compartments. In this review, we synthesize and update the current knowledge about Rab22a, which has been involved in several immune functions. In this way, we analyze the intracellular localization of Rab22a and its important role in the endocytic recycling, including its relevance during MHC-I trafficking, antigen cross-presentation by DCs and the formation of T cell conjugates. We also describe how different pathogenic microorganisms hijack Rab22a functions to achieve efficient infection and intracellular survival strategies. Furthermore, we examine the oncogenic properties of Rab22a and how its expression determines the progression of many tumors. In summary, we highlight the role of Rab22a as a key effector of the intracellular trafficking that could be exploited in future therapies to modulate the immune system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The major clinical side effect of the ERBB2-targeted breast cancer therapy, trastuzumab, is a decline in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Improved markers are needed to better identify patients susceptible to cardiotoxicity. METHODS The NCCTG N9831 trial compared adjuvant doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by either weekly paclitaxel (arm A); paclitaxel then trastuzumab (arm B); or concurrent paclitaxel and trastuzumab (arm C) in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. A genome-wide association study was performed on all patients with available DNA (N=1446). We used linear regression to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with decline in LVEF, adjusting for age, baseline LVEF, antihypertensive medications, and the first two principle components. RESULTS In total, 618 863 SNPs passed quality control and DNA from 1191 patients passed genotyping quality control and were identified as Whites of non-Hispanic origin. SNPs at six loci were associated with a decline in LVEF (P=7.73×10 to 8.93×10), LDB2, BRINP1, chr6 intergenic, RAB22A, TRPC6, and LINC01060, in patients who received chemotherapy plus trastuzumab (arms BC, N=800). None of these loci were significant in patients who received chemotherapy only (arm A, N=391) and did not increase in significance in the combined analysis of all patients. We did not observe association, P<0.05, with SNPs previously associated with trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity at ERBB2, I655V, and P1170A. We replicated association, P<0.05, with SNPs previously associated with anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity at CBR3 and ABCB1. CONCLUSION Our study identified six putative novel cardiotoxicity loci in patients treated with combination chemotherapy and trastuzumab that require further investigation and confirmed known associations of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer. RAB22A, a member of RAS oncogene family, has been found to be significantly upregulated in multiple human cancers. In the present study, we found that RAB22A mRNA expression was significantly upregulated in melanoma tissues (including 60 primary melanomas and 84 metastatic melanomas) compared to benign nevi (n = 20), which were significantly higher in metastatic melanoma tissues than primary tissues. Immunohistochemistry data further showed that the positive immunoreactivity of RAB22A was detected in 66% (95/144) melanoma tissues, but not in benign nevi. Moreover, high expression of RAB22A was significantly associated with advanced clinical stage in melanoma. Furthermore, patients with high RAB22A expression had shorter overall survival compared those with low expression of RAB22A. In-vitro study showed that RAB22A was also upregulated in melanoma cell lines WM35, A375, WM451, and SK-MEL-1, when compared with the normal melanocyte HM cells. Knockdown of RAB22A significantly reduced the proliferation, migration and invasion of melanoma A375 cells, while overexpression of RAB22A significantly promoted these malignant phenotypes. In addition, RAB22A was found to be a target of miR-203, a tumor suppressive miRNA in melanoma. Besides, miR-203 was downregulated in melanoma tissues and cell lines, when compared with benign nevi and HM cells, respectively. Taken these findings together, our study could validate an oncogenic role of RAB22A in melanoma, suggesting that RAB22A may be a potential therapeutic target for melanoma.

Abstract
Rab GTPases are important regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking in eukaryotes. Both activating and inactivating mutations in Rab genes have been identified and implicated in human diseases ranging from neurological disorders to cancer. In addition, altered Rab expression is often associated with disease prognosis. As such, the study of diseases associated with Rabs or Rab-interacting proteins has shed light on the important role of intracellular membrane trafficking in disease etiology. In this review, we cover recent advances in the field with an emphasis on cellular mechanisms.

Abstract
Endosomal trafficking can influence the composition of the plasma membrane and the ability of cells to polarize their membranes. Here, we examined whether trafficking through clathrin-independent endocytosis (CIE) affects the ability of T cells to form a cell-cell conjugate with antigen-presenting cells (APCs). We show that CIE occurs in both the Jurkat T cell line and primary human T cells. In Jurkat cells, the activities of two guanine nucleotide binding proteins, Arf6 and Rab22 (also known as Rab22a), influence CIE and conjugate formation. Expression of the constitutively active form of Arf6, Arf6Q67L, inhibits CIE and conjugate formation, and results in the accumulation of vacuoles containing lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) and CD4, molecules important for T cell interaction with the APC. Moreover, expression of the GTP-binding defective mutant of Rab22, Rab22S19N, inhibits CIE and conjugate formation, suggesting that Rab22 function is required for these activities. Furthermore, Jurkat cells expressing Rab22S19N were impaired in spreading onto coverslips coated with T cell receptor-activating antibodies. These observations support a role for CIE, Arf6 and Rab22 in conjugate formation between T cells and APCs.

Abstract
During neurotransmission, synaptic vesicles undergo multiple rounds of exo-endocytosis, involving recycling and/or degradation of synaptic proteins. While ubiquitin signaling at synapses is essential for neural function, it has been assumed that synaptic proteostasis requires the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). We demonstrate here that turnover of synaptic membrane proteins via the endolysosomal pathway is essential for synaptic function. In both human and mouse, hypomorphic mutations in the ubiquitin adaptor protein PLAA cause an infantile-lethal neurodysfunction syndrome with seizures. Resulting from perturbed endolysosomal degradation, Plaa mutant neurons accumulate K63-polyubiquitylated proteins and synaptic membrane proteins, disrupting synaptic vesicle recycling and neurotransmission. Through characterization of this neurological intracellular trafficking disorder, we establish the importance of ubiquitin-mediated endolysosomal trafficking at the synapse.

Abstract
Rab22a is a member of the Ras-related small GTPase family, which plays a key role in regulating the recycling of cargo proteins entering cells through clathrin-independent endocytosis (CIE). Rab22a is overexpressed in different cancer types, including liver cancer, malignant melanoma, ovarian cancer and osteosarcoma. However, its oncogenic role remains unknown. In this study, we found that silencing of Rab22a suppressed the migration and invasion of lung cancer cells. Furthermore, Rab22a interacts with CD147, and knockdown of Rab22a blocks CD147 recycling and promotes CD147 degradation. Taken together, our findings indicate that Rab22a enhances recycling of CD147, which is required for lung cancer cell migration and invasion,and targeting CD147 recycling may be a rational strategy for lung cancer therapy.

Abstract
Endosomal membrane trafficking requires coordination between phosphoinositide lipids, Rab GTPases, and microtubule-based motors to dynamically determine endosome identity and promote long-range organelle transport. Here we report that ankyrin-B (AnkB), through integrating all three systems, functions as a critical node in the protein circuitry underlying polarized recycling of α5β1-integrin in mouse embryonic fibroblasts, which enables persistent fibroblast migration along fibronectin gradients. AnkB associates with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P)-positive organelles in fibroblasts and binds dynactin to promote their long-range motility. We demonstrate that AnkB binds to Rab GTPase Activating Protein 1-Like (RabGAP1L) and recruits it to PI3P-positive organelles, where RabGAP1L inactivates Rab22A, and promotes polarized trafficking to the leading edge of migrating fibroblasts. We further determine that α5β1-integrin depends on an AnkB/RabGAP1L complex for polarized recycling. Our results reveal AnkB as an unexpected key element in coordinating polarized transport of α5β1-integrin and likely of other specialized endocytic cargos.

Abstract
A large group of small Rab GTPases which mediate secretory and endosomal membrane transport, as well as autophagosome biogenesis, are essential components of vesicle trafficking machinery. Specific Rab protein together with the cognate effectors coordinates the dynamics of trafficking pathway and determines the cargo proteins destination. Functional impairments of Rab proteins by mutations or post-translational modifications disrupting the regulatory network of vesicle trafficking have been implicated in tumorigenesis. Therefore, the vesicle transport regulators play essential roles in the mediation of cancer cell biology, including uncontrolled cell growth, invasion and metastasis. The context-dependent role of the same Rab to act as either an oncoprotein or tumor suppressor in different cancers is found. Such discrepancies may be due in part to the interaction of specific Rab protein with different effectors or cargos in various tumors. Here, we review recent advances in the roles of Rab GTPases in communicating with other effectors in tumor progression. In this review, we also emphasize dysregulation of Rab-mediated membrane delivery shifting normal cell behaviors toward malignancy. Thus, recovery of the dysregulated vesicle trafficking systems in cancer cells may provide future directions for potential strategy to restrain tumor progression.

Abstract
IFN-γ is able to modulate endosome dynamics in myelocytic cells, but the molecular mechanisms behind this process remain to be elucidated. Rab20 is identified as part of the molecular machinery that links immune activation and control of endocytic function in macrophages. Little is known about the molecular players that regulate changes in the endocytic pathway during immune activation. Here we investigate the role of Rab20 in the endocytic pathway during activation of macrophages. Rab20 is associated with endocytic structures, but the function of this Rab GTPase in the endocytic pathway remains poorly characterized. We find that in macrophages, Rab20 expression and endosomal association significantly increase after interferon-γ (IFN-γ) treatment. Moreover, IFN-γ and Rab20 expression induce a dramatic enlargement of endosomes. These enlarged endosomes are the result of homotypic fusion promoted by Rab20 expression. The expression of Rab20 or the dominant-negative mutant Rab20T19N does not affect transferrin or dextran 70 kDa uptake. However, knockdown of Rab20 accelerates epidermal growth factor (EGF) trafficking to LAMP-2–positive compartments and EGF receptor degradation. Thus this work defines a function for Rab20 in the endocytic pathway during immune activation of macrophages.

Abstract
The vesicular transport pathways, which shuttle materials to and from the cell surface and within the cell, and the metabolic (growth factor and nutrient) signalling pathways, which integrate a variety of extracellular and intracellular signals to mediate growth, proliferation or survival, are both important for cellular physiology. There is evidence to suggest that the transport and metabolic signalling pathways intersect-vesicular transport can affect the regulation of metabolic signals and vice versa. The Rab family GTPases regulate the specificity of vesicular transport steps in the cell. Together with their interacting proteins, Rabs would likely constitute the points of intersection between vesicular transport and metabolic signalling pathways. Examples of these points would include growth factor signalling, glucose and lipid metabolism, as well as autophagy. Many of these processes involve mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) in downstream cascades, or are regulated by TORC signalling. A general functionality of the vesicular transport processes controlled by the Rabs is also important for spatial and temporal regulation of the transmission of metabolic signals between the cell surface and the nucleus. In other cases, specific Rabs and their interacting proteins are known to function in recruiting metabolism-related proteins to target membranes, or may compete with other factors in the TORC signalling pathway as a means of metabolic regulation. We review and discuss herein examples of how Rabs and their interacting proteins can mediate metabolic signalling and regulation in cells.

Abstract
Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that are important for neuronal development, neuronal survival and neuronal functions. Neurotrophins exert their role by binding to their receptors, the Trk family of receptor tyrosine kinases (TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC) and p75NTR, a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily. Binding of neurotrophins to receptors triggers a complex series of signal transduction events, which are able to induce neuronal differentiation but are also responsible for neuronal maintenance and neuronal functions. Rab proteins are small GTPases localized to the cytosolic surface of specific intracellular compartments and are involved in controlling vesicular transport. Rab proteins, acting as master regulators of the membrane trafficking network, play a central role in both trafficking and signaling pathways of neurotrophin receptors. Axonal transport represents the Achilles' heel of neurons, due to the long-range distance that molecules, organelles and, in particular, neurotrophin-receptor complexes have to cover. Indeed, alterations of axonal transport and, specifically, of axonal trafficking of neurotrophin receptors are responsible for several human neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and some forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. In this review, we will discuss the link between Rab proteins and neurotrophin receptor trafficking and their influence on downstream signaling pathways.

Abstract
Rab5 is a key regulator of early endocytosis by promoting early endosomal fusion and motility. In this study, we have unexpectedly found distinct properties of the two Rab5 homologs (MoRab5A and MoRab5B) from Magnaporthe oryzae, a pathogenic fungus in plants whose infection causes rice blast disease. Like mammalian Rab5, MoRab5A and MoRab5B can bind to several Rab5 effectors in a GTP-dependent manner, including EEA1, Rabenosyn-5, and Rabaptin-5. However, MoRab5A shows distinct binding characteristics in the sense that both the wild-type and the GTP hydrolysis-defective constitutively active mutant bind the effectors equally well in GST pull-down assays, suggesting that MoRab5A is defective in GTP hydrolysis and mostly in the GTP-bound conformation in the cell. Indeed, GTP hydrolysis assays indicate that MoRab5A GTPase activity is dramatically lower than MoRab5B and human Rab5 and is insensitive to RabGAP5 stimulation. We have further identified a Pro residue in the switch I region largely responsible for the distinct MoRab5A properties by characterization of MoRab5A and MoRab5B chimeras and mutagenesis. The differences between MoRab5A and MoRab5B extend to their functions in the cell. Although they both target to early endosomes, only MoRab5B closely resembles human Rab5 in promoting early endosome fusion and stimulating fluid phase endocytosis. In contrast, MoRab5A correlates with another related early endosomal Rab, Rab22, in terms of the presence of the switch I Pro residue and the blocked GTPase activity. Our data thus identify MoRab5B as the Rab5 ortholog and suggest that MoRab5A specializes to perform a non-redundant function in endosomal sorting.

Abstract
Vesicular/membrane trafficking essentially regulates the compartmentalization and abundance of proteins within the cells and contributes in many signalling pathways. This membrane transport in eukaryotic cells is a complex process regulated by a large and diverse array of proteins. A large group of monomeric small GTPases; the Rabs are essential components of this membrane trafficking route. Most of the Rabs are ubiquitously expressed proteins and have been implicated in vesicle formation, vesicle motility/delivery along cytoskeleton elements and docking/fusion at target membranes through the recruitment of effectors. Functional impairments of Rabs affecting transport pathways manifest different diseases. Rab functions are accompanied by cyclical activation and inactivation of GTP-bound and GDP-bound forms between the cytosol and membranes which is regulated by upstream regulators. Rab proteins are characterized by their distinct sub-cellular localization and regulate a wide variety of endocytic, transcytic and exocytic transport pathways. Mutations of Rabs affect cell growth, motility and other biological processes.

Abstract
Rab genes, encoding a large family of monomeric G-proteins, contain over 60 members in the human genome. They have been recognized as crucial regulators for membrane trafficking including cargo sorting, vesicle formation, budding, motility, docking, fusion, secretory and endocytic pathway of host immune responses. However, little is known of the Rab gene family in teleost fish species. The development of full-length transcripts and whole genome sequences allow the identification and annotation of Rab GTPase gene family in catfish. In this study, a total of 52 Rab genes were identified from catfish cDNA and genome databases. Phylogenetic analysis assigned them into eleven subfamilies. Most Rab GTPases are conserved among vertebrates, though some of which are absent in fish genomes. Analysis of multiple RNA-seq datasets, along with real time PCR analysis revealed up-regulation of 10 Rab genes after bacterial infection. These included Rab3a, Rab4a, Rab4b, Rab5a, Rab5c, Rab7a, Rab9a, Rab11a, Rab11b, and Rab33a. Their up-regulation are temporally and spatially regulated in various tissues, but mostly induced at early stages after infection and in the gill and liver tissues, with the exception of Rab5c that is mostly up-regulated in the head kidney and trunk kidney. The complex pattern of their induced expression suggested both specific and cooperative actions of a these Rab genes in the acute immune responses to bacterial infection.

Abstract
The pathogenic bacterium Legionella pneumophila interacts intimately with signaling molecules during the infection of eukaryotic host cells. Among a diverse set of regulatory molecules, host small GTPases appear to be prominent and significant targets. Small GTPases are molecular switches that regulate cellular signaling via their respective nucleotide-bound states: When bound to GDP, they are inactive, but become activated upon binding to GTP. Legionella secretes specific bacterial proteins into the cytosol of the host cell that most prominently modulate the activities of small GTPases involved in vesicular trafficking, but probably also other G-proteins. The master regulators of vesicular trafficking, i.e., Rab and Arf proteins, are majorly targeted G-proteins of Legionella proteins, and among these, Rab1 experiences the most diverse modifications. Generally, the activities of small GTPases are modulated by GDP/GTP exchange (activation), GTP hydrolysis (deactivation), membrane recruitment, post-translational modifications (phosphocholination, adenylylation), and tight and competitive binding. Here, we discuss the consequences and molecular details of the modulation of small GTPases for the infection by Legionella, with a special but not exclusive focus on Rab and Arf proteins.

Abstract
Rab31 is a member of the Rab5 subfamily of Rab GTPases. Although localized largely to the trans-Golgi network, it shares common guanine nucleotide exchange factors and effectors with other Rab5 subfamily members that have been implicated in endocytic membrane traffic. We investigated whether Rab31 also has a role in the trafficking of the ligand-bound EGF receptor (EGFR) internalized through receptor-mediated endocytosis. We found that loss of Rab31 inhibits, but overexpression enhances, EGFR trafficking to the late endosomes and that the effect of Rab31 silencing could be specifically rescued by overexpression of a silencing-resistant form of Rab31. Rab31 was found to interact with the EGFR by coimmunoprecipitation and affinity pulldown analyses, and the primarily trans-Golgi network-localized Rab31 has increased colocalization with the EGFR in A431 cells 30 min after pulsing with EGF. A glycerol gradient sedimentation assay suggested that Rab31 is sequestered into a high molecular weight complex after stimulation with EGF, as was early endosome antigen 1 (EEA1), a factor responsible for endosomal tethering and fusion events. We found that loss of EEA1 reduced the interaction between Rab31 and the EGFR and abrogated the effect of Rab31 overexpression on the trafficking of the EGFR. Likewise, loss of GAPex5, a Rab31 guanine nucleotide exchange factor that has a role in ubiquitination and degradation of the EGFR, reduced the interaction of Rab31 with the EGFR and its effect on EGFR trafficking. Taken together, our results suggest that Rab31 is an important regulator of endocytic trafficking of the EGFR and functions in an EGFR trafficking complex that includes EEA1 and GAPex5.

Abstract
Neuronal cells are characterized by the presence of two confined domains, which are different in their cellular properties, biochemical functions and molecular identity. The generation of asymmetric domains in neurons should logically require specialized membrane trafficking to both promote neurite outgrowth and differential distribution of components. Members of the Rab family of small GTPases are key regulators of membrane trafficking involved in transport, tethering and docking of vesicles through their effectors. RabGTPases activity is coupled to the activity of guanine nucleotide exchange factors or GEFs, and GTPase-activating proteins known as GAPs. Since the overall spatiotemporal distribution of GEFs, GAPs and Rabs governs trafficking through the secretory and endocytic pathways, affecting exocytosis, endocytosis and endosome recycling, it is likely that RabGTPases could have a major role in neurite outgrowth, elongation and polarization. In this review we summarize the evidence linking the functions of several RabGTPases to axonal and dendritic development in primary neurons, as well as neurite formation in neuronal cell lines. We focused on the role of RabGTPases from the trans-Golgi network, early/late and recycling endosomes, as well as the function of some Rab effectors in neuritogenesis. Finally, we also discuss the participation of the ADP-ribosylation factor 6, a member of the ArfGTPase family, in neurite formation since it seems to have an important cross-talk with RabGTPases.

Abstract
The HuH7 liver cell mutant Trf1 is defective in membrane trafficking and is complemented by the casein kinase 2α subunit CK2α''. Here we identify characteristic morphologies, trafficking and mutational changes in six additional HuH7 mutants Trf2-Trf7. Trf1 cells were previously shown to be severely defective in gap junction functions. Using a Lucifer yellow transfer assay, remarkable attenuation of gap junction communication was revealed in each of the mutants Trf2-Trf7. Electron microscopy and light microscopy of thiamine pyrophosphatase showed that several mutants exhibited fragmented Golgi apparatus cisternae compared to parental HuH7 cells. Intracellular trafficking was investigated using assays of transferrin endocytosis and recycling and VSV G secretion. Surface binding of transferrin was reduced in all six Trf2-Trf7 mutants, which generally correlated with the degree of reduced expression of the transferrin receptor at the cell surface. The mutants displayed the same transferrin influx rates as HuH7, and for efflux rate, only Trf6 differed, having a slower transferrin efflux rate than HuH7. The kinetics of VSV G transport along the exocytic pathway were altered in Trf2 and Trf5 mutants. Genetic changes unique to particular Trf mutants were identified by exome sequencing, and one was investigated in depth. The novel mutation Ile34Phe in the GTPase RAB22A was identified in Trf4. RNA interference knockdown of RAB22A or overexpression of RAB22AI34F in HuH7 cells caused phenotypic changes characteristic of the Trf4 mutant. In addition, the Ile34Phe mutation reduced both guanine nucleotide binding and hydrolysis activities of RAB22A. Thus, the RAB22A Ile34Phe mutation appears to contribute to the Trf4 mutant phenotype.

Abstract
The matrix metalloproteinase MT1-MMP has a major impact on invasive cell migration in both physiological and pathological settings such as immune cell extravasation or metastasis of cancer cells. Surface-associated MT1-MMP is able to cleave components of the extracellular matrix, which is a prerequisite for proteolytic invasive migration. However, current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms that regulate MT1-MMP trafficking to and from the cell surface is limited. We have identified three members of the RabGTPase family, Rab5a, Rab8a and Rab14, as crucial regulators of MT1-MMP trafficking and function in primary human macrophages. Both overexpressed and endogenous forms show prominent colocalisation with MT1-MMP-positive vesicles, whereas expression of mutant constructs, as well as siRNA-induced knockdown, reveal that these RabGTPases are crucial in the regulation of MT1-MMP surface exposure, contact of MT1-MMP-positive vesicles with podosomes, extracellular matrix degradation in two and three dimensions, as well as three-dimensional proteolytic invasion of macrophages. Collectively, our results identify Rab5a, Rab8a and Rab14 as major regulators of MT1-MMP trafficking and invasive migration of primary human macrophages, which could be promising potential targets for manipulation of immune cell invasion.

Abstract
ATP7A mediates copper absorption and feeds cuproenzymes in the trans-Golgi network. To regulate copper homeostasis, ATP7A cycles between the TGN and plasma membrane. The roles of clathrin, adaptor complexes, lipid rafts, and Rab22a are assessed in an attempt to decipher the regulatory proteins involved in ATP7A cycling. The transporter ATP7A mediates systemic copper absorption and provides cuproenzymes in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) with copper. To regulate metal homeostasis, ATP7A constitutively cycles between the TGN and plasma membrane (PM). ATP7A trafficking to the PM is elevated in response to increased copper load and is reversed when copper concentrations are lowered. Molecular mechanisms underlying this trafficking are poorly understood. We assess the role of clathrin, adaptor complexes, lipid rafts, and Rab22a in an attempt to decipher the regulatory proteins involved in ATP7A cycling. While RNA interference (RNAi)–mediated depletion of caveolin 1/2 or flotillin had no effect on ATP7A localization, clathrin heavy chain depletion or expression of AP180 dominant-negative mutant not only disrupted clathrin-regulated pathways, but also blocked PM-to-TGN internalization of ATP7A. Depletion of the μ subunits of either adaptor protein-2 (AP-2) or AP-1 using RNAi further provides evidence that both clathrin adaptors are important for trafficking of ATP7A from the PM to the TGN. Expression of the GTP-locked Rab22aQ64L mutant caused fragmentation of TGN membrane domains enriched for ATP7A. These appear to be a subdomain of the mammalian TGN, showing only partial overlap with the TGN marker golgin-97. Of importance, ATP7A remained in the Rab22aQ64L-generated structures after copper treatment and washout, suggesting that forward trafficking out of this compartment was blocked. This study provides evidence that multiple membrane-associated factors, including clathrin, AP-2, AP-1, and Rab22, are regulators of ATP7A trafficking.

Abstract
Transport along the endolysosomal system requires multiple fusion events at early and late endosomes. Deletion of several endosomal fusion factors, including the Vac1 tether and the Class C core vacuole/endosome tethering (CORVET) complex-specific subunits Vps3 and Vps8, results in a class D vps phenotype. As these mutants have an apparently similar defect in endosomal transport, we asked whether CORVET and Vac1 could still act in distinct tethering reactions. Our data reveal that CORVET mutants can be rescued by Vac1 overexpression in the endocytic pathway but not in CPY or Cps1 sorting to the vacuole. Moreover, when we compared the ultrastructure, CORVET mutants were most similar to deletions of the Rab Vps21 and its guanine nucleotide exchange factor Vps9 and different from vac1 deletion, indicating separate functions. Likewise, CORVET still localized to endosomes even in the absence of Vac1, whereas Vac1 localization became diffuse in CORVET mutants. Importantly, CORVET localization requires the Rab5 homologs Vps21 and Ypt52, whereas Vac1 localization is strictly Vps21-dependent. In this context, we also uncover that Muk1 can compensate for loss of Vps9 in CORVET localization, indicating that two Rab5 guanine nucleotide exchange factors operate in the endocytic pathway. Overall, our study reveals a unique role of CORVET in the sorting of biosynthetic cargo to the vacuole/lysosome.
