Role of Erv29p in collecting soluble secretory proteins into ER-derived transport vesicles.

Proteins are transported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in vesicles formed by coat protein complex II (COPII). Soluble secretory proteins are thought to leave the ER in these vesicles by "bulk flow" or through recognition by hypothetical shuttling receptors. We found that Erv29p, a conserved transmembrane protein, was directly required for packaging glycosylated pro-alpha-factor (gpalphaf) into COPII vesicles in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Further, an Erv29p-gpalphaf complex was isolated from ER-derived transport vesicles. In vivo, export of gpalphaf from the ER was saturable and depended on the expression level of Erv29p. These results indicate that membrane receptors can link soluble cargo proteins to the COPII coat.

Bicaudal-D regulates COPI-independent Golgi-ER transport by recruiting the dynein-dynactin motor complex.

The small GTPase Rab6a is involved in the regulation of membrane traffic from the Golgi apparatus towards the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a coat complex coatomer protein I (COPI)-independent pathway. Here, we used a yeast two-hybrid approach to identify binding partners of Rab6a. In particular, we identified the dynein-dynactin-binding protein Bicaudal-D1 (BICD1), one of the two mammalian homologues of Drosophila Bicaudal-D. BICD1 and BICD2 colocalize with Rab6a on the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and on cytoplasmic vesicles, and associate with Golgi membranes in a Rab6-dependent manner. Overexpression of BICD1 enhances the recruitment of dynein-dynactin to Rab6a-containing vesicles. Conversely, overexpression of the carboxy-terminal domain of BICD, which can interact with Rab6a but not with cytoplasmic dynein, inhibits microtubule minus-end-directed movement of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-Rab6a vesicles and induces an accumulation of Rab6a and COPI-independent ER cargo in peripheral structures. These data suggest that coordinated action between Rab6a, BICD and the dynein-dynactin complex controls COPI-independent Golgi-ER transport.

Rab1 recruitment of p115 into a cis-SNARE complex: programming budding COPII vesicles for fusion.

The guanosine triphosphatase Rab1 regulates the transport of newly synthesized proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus through interaction with effector molecules, but the molecular mechanisms by which this occurs are unknown. Here, the tethering factor p115 was shown to be a Rab1 effector that binds directly to activated Rab1. Rab1 recruited p115 to coat protein complex II (COPII) vesicles during budding from the endoplasmic reticulum, where it interacted with a select set of COPII vesicle-associated SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors) to form a cis-SNARE complex that promotes targeting to the Golgi apparatus. We propose that Rab1-regulated assembly of functional effector-SNARE complexes defines a conserved molecular mechanism to coordinate recognition between subcellular compartments.

Golgin tethers define subpopulations of COPI vesicles.

Coiled-coil proteins of the golgin family have been implicated in intra-Golgi transport through tethering coat protein complex I (COPI) vesicles. The p115-golgin tether is the best studied, and here we characterize the golgin-84-CASP tether. The vesicles bound by this tether were strikingly different from those bound by the p115-golgin tether in that they lacked members of the p24 family of putative cargo receptors and contained enzymes instead of anterograde cargo. Microinjected golgin-84 or CASP also inhibited Golgi-enzyme transport to the endoplasmic reticulum, further implicating this tether in retrograde transport. These and other golgins may modulate the flow patterns within the Golgi stack.

COPII-Golgi protein interactions regulate COPII coat assembly and Golgi size.

Under experimental conditions, the Golgi apparatus can undergo de novo biogenesis from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), involving a rapid phase of growth followed by a return to steady state, but the mechanisms that control growth are unknown. Quantification of coat protein complex (COP) II assembly revealed a dramatic up-regulation at exit sites driven by increased levels of Golgi proteins in the ER. Analysis in a permeabilized cell assay indicated that up-regulation of COPII assembly occurred in the absence GTP hydrolysis and any cytosolic factors other than the COPII prebudding complex Sar1p-Sec23p-Sec24p. Remarkably, acting via a direct interaction with Sar1p, increased expression of the Golgi enzyme N-acetylgalactosaminyl transferase-2 induced increased COPII assembly on the ER and an overall increase in the size of the Golgi apparatus. These results suggest that direct interactions between Golgi proteins exiting the ER and COPII components regulate ER exit, providing a variable exit rate mechanism that ensures homeostasis of the Golgi apparatus.

An activating mutation in ARF1 stabilizes coatomer binding to Golgi membranes.

The Ras-related protein ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1) is a low molecular weight GTP binding protein, which in its GTP state supports the binding of coatomer, a cytosolic coat protein complex, to Golgi membranes. To create an "active" ARF, we constructed a point mutation in ARF1, Q71I, which was predicted to slow the rate of GTP hydrolysis. We demonstrate that Q71I, in contrast to wild type ARF1, exhibits a 2-3-fold increase in the half-life of ARF-GTP and is able to promote stable coatomer binding to Golgi membranes in the presence of GTP in vitro. Additionally, Q71I is able to support the binding of a significant amount of coatomer to membranes in the absence of added nucleotides, effectively bypassing the brefeldin A (BFA)-sensitive exchange activity. Furthermore, transfection of cells with Q71I, but not ARF1, renders the Golgi association of coatomer resistant to the effects of BFA in vivo. These observations provide compelling evidence that ARF1 is a necessary GTP binding protein that regulates the reversible binding of coat proteins to Golgi membranes and that the effects of BFA on this process in living cells must be a consequence of BFA's inhibition of guanine nucleotide exchange onto ARF1.

A membrane protein enriched in endoplasmic reticulum exit sites interacts with COPII.

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

Evidence for the intimate relationship between vesicle budding from the ER and the unfolded protein response.

Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sec12p, an ER membrane protein, carries out an essential function as the guanine nucleotide exchange factor of the small GTPase Sar1p. Sar1p-GTP is pivotal for the assembly of a coat protein complex, COPII, on the ER membrane, and thus Sec12p can be regarded as the initiator of vesicle budding from the ER. In an effort to identify genes that positively regulate Sec12p, we isolated IRE1 as a novel multicopy suppressor of the temperature-sensitive sec12-4 mutant. IRE1 encodes a transmembrane kinase/nuclease, which controls the unfolded protein response (UPR) to induce transcription of ER chaperones under stress conditions. The constitutive activation of the UPR by overexpression of either IRE1 or active mutant HAC1, a transcription factor responsible for the UPR, suppresses sec12-4. Interestingly, overproduction of some cargo proteins also results in suppression of sec12-4 through the activation of the UPR. The overexpression of IRE1 suppresses the sec mutants defective in vesicle budding from the ER but not others, highlighting a close relationship between the ER exit and the UPR.

Dsl1p, an essential protein required for membrane traffic at the endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi interface in yeast.

To identify novel factors required for ER to Golgi transport in yeast we performed a screen for genes that, when mutated, confer a dependence on a dominant mutant form of the ER to Golgi vesicle docking factor Sly1p, termed Sly1-20p. DSL1, a novel gene isolated in the screen, encodes an essential protein with a predicted molecular mass of 88 kDa. DSL1 is required for transport between the ER and the Golgi because strains bearing mutant alleles of this gene accumulate the pre-Golgi form of transported proteins at the restrictive temperature. Two strains bearing temperature-sensitive alleles of DSL1 display distinct phenotypes as observed by electron microscopy at the restrictive temperature; although both strains accumulate ER membrane, one also accumulates vesicles. Interestingly, the inviability of strains bearing several mutant alleles of DSL1 can be suppressed by expression of either Erv14p (a protein required for the movement of a specific protein from the ER to the Golgi), Sec21p (the gamma-subunit of the COPI coat protein complex coatomer), or Sly1-20p. Because the strongest suppressor is SEC21, we proposed that Dsl1p functions primarily in retrograde Golgi to ER traffic, although it is possible that Dsl1p functions in anterograde traffic as well, perhaps at the docking stage, as suggested by the suppression by SLY1-20.

A role for BARS at the fission step of COPI vesicle formation from Golgi membrane.

The core complex of Coat Protein I (COPI), known as coatomer, is sufficient to induce coated vesicular-like structures from liposomal membrane. In the context of biological Golgi membrane, both palmitoyl-coenzyme A (p-coA) and ARFGAP1, a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for ADP-Ribosylation Factor 1, also participate in vesicle formation, but how their roles may be linked remains unknown. Moreover, whether COPI vesicle formation from Golgi membrane requires additional factors also remains unclear. We now show that Brefeldin-A ADP-Ribosylated Substrate (BARS) plays a critical role in the fission step of COPI vesicle formation from Golgi membrane. This role of BARS requires its interaction with ARFGAP1, which is in turn regulated oppositely by p-coA and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which act as cofactors of BARS. Our findings not only identify a new factor needed for COPI vesicle formation from Golgi membrane but also reveal a surprising mechanism by which the roles of p-coA and GAP are linked in this process.

Receptor-induced polymerization of coatomer.

Coatomer, the coat protein complex of COPI vesicles, is involved in the budding of these vesicles, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Toward a better understanding of this process, the interaction between coatomer and the cytoplasmic domain of a major transmembrane protein of COPI vesicles, p23, was studied. Interaction of coatomer with this peptide domain results in a conformational change and polymerization of the complex in vitro. This changed conformation also is observed in vivo, i.e., on the surface of authentic, isolated COPI vesicles. An average of four peptides was found associated with one coatomer complex after polymerization. Based on these results, we propose a mechanism by which the induced conformational change of coatomer results in its polymerization, and thus drives formation of the bud on the Golgi membrane during biogenesis of a COPI vesicle.

Evidence for overlapping and distinct functions in protein transport of coat protein Sec24p family members.

Budding of transport vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum in yeast requires the formation, at the budding site, of a coat protein complex (COPII) that consists of two heterodimeric subcomplexes (Sec23p/Sec24p and Sec13p/Sec31p) and the Sar1 GTPase. Sec24p is an essential protein and involved in cargo selection. In addition to Sec24p, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae expresses two non-essential Sec24p-related proteins, termed Sfb2p (product of YNL049c) and Sfb3p/Lst1p (product of YHR098c). We here show that Sfb2p and, less efficiently, Sfb3p/Lst1p are able to bind, like Sec24p, the integral membrane cargo protein Sed5p. We also demonstrate that Sfb2p, like Sec24p and Sfb3p/Lst1p, forms a complex with Sec23p in vivo. Whereas the deletion of SFB2 did not affect transport kinetics of various proteins, the maturation of the glycolipid-anchored plasma membrane protein Gas1p was differentially impaired in sfb3 knock-out cells. We generated several conditional-lethal sec24 mutants that, combined with null alleles of SFB2 and SFB3/LST1, led to a complete block of transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi (sec24-11/Deltasfb2) or to cell death (sec24-11/Deltasfb3). Of the Sec24p family members, Sfb2p is the least abundant at steady state, but high intracellular concentrations of Sfb2p can rescue sec24 mutants under restrictive conditions. The data presented strongly suggest that the Sec24p-related proteins function as COPII components.

Role of coatomer and phospholipids in GTPase-activating protein-dependent hydrolysis of GTP by ADP-ribosylation factor-1.

The binding of the coat protein complex, coatomer, to the Golgi is mediated by the small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor-1 (ARF1), whereas the dissociation of coatomer, requires GTP hydrolysis on ARF1, which depends on a GTPase-activating protein (GAP). Recent studies demonstrate that when GAP activity is assayed in a membrane-free environment by employing an amino-terminal truncation mutant of ARF1 (Delta17-ARF1) and a catalytic fragment of the ARF GTPase-activating protein GAP1, GTP hydrolysis is strongly stimulated by coatomer (Goldberg, J., (1999) Cell 96, 893-902). In this study, we investigated the role of coatomer in GTP hydrolysis on ARF1 both in solution and in a phospholipid environment. When GTP hydrolysis was assayed in solution using Delta17-ARF1, coatomer stimulated hydrolysis in the presence of the full-length GAP1 as well as with a Saccharomyces cerevisiae ARF GAP (Gcs1) but had no effect on hydrolysis in the presence of the phosphoinositide dependent GAP, ASAP1. Using wild-type myristoylated ARF1 loaded with GTP in the presence of phospholipid vesicles, GAP1 by itself stimulated GTP hydrolysis efficiently, and coatomer had no additional effect. Disruption of the phospholipid vesicles with detergent resulted in reduced GAP1 activity that was stimulated by coatomer, a pattern that resembled Delta17-ARF1 activity. Our findings suggest that in the biological membrane, the proximity between ARF1 and its GAP, which results from mutual binding to membrane phospholipids, may be sufficient for stimulation of ARF1 GTPase activity.

Non-conventional trafficking of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator through the early secretory pathway.

The mechanism(s) of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through the Golgi apparatus, the step impaired in individuals afflicted with the prevalent CFTR-DeltaF508 mutation leading to cystic fibrosis, is largely unknown. Recent morphological observations suggested that CFTR is largely absent from the Golgi in situ (Bannykh, S. I., Bannykh, G. I., Fish, K. N., Moyer, B. D., Riordan, J. R., and Balch, W. E. (2000) Traffic 1, 852-870), raising the possibility of a novel trafficking pathway through the early secretory pathway. We now report that export of CFTR from the ER is regulated by the conventional coat protein complex II (COPII) in all cell types tested. Remarkably, in a cell type-specific manner, processing of CFTR from the core-glycosylated (band B) ER form to the complex-glycosylated (band C) isoform followed a non-conventional pathway that was insensitive to dominant negative Arf1, Rab1a/Rab2 GTPases, or the SNAp REceptor (SNARE) component syntaxin 5, all of which block the conventional trafficking pathway from the ER to the Golgi. Moreover, CFTR transport through the non-conventional pathway was potently blocked by overexpression of the late endosomal target-SNARE syntaxin 13, suggesting that recycling through a late Golgi/endosomal system was a prerequisite for CFTR maturation. We conclude that CFTR transport in the early secretory pathway can involve a novel pathway between the ER and late Golgi/endosomal compartments that may influence developmental expression of CFTR on the cell surface in polarized epithelial cells.

Surface expression of inward rectifier potassium channels is controlled by selective Golgi export.

Traffic of integral membrane proteins along the secretory pathway is not simply a default process but can be selective. Such selectivity is achieved by sequence information within the cargo protein that recruits coat protein complexes to drive the formation of transport vesicles. A number of sequence motifs have been identified in the cytoplasmic domains of ion channels that regulate early trafficking events between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex. Here, we demonstrate that the following trafficking step from the Golgi compartment to the plasma membrane can also be selective. The N-terminal domain of the inward rectifier potassium channel Kir2.1 contains specific sequence information that is necessary for its efficient export from the Golgi complex. Lack of this information results in accumulation of the protein within the Golgi and a significant decrease in cell surface expression. As similar results were obtained for the N terminus of another Kir channel subfamily member, Kir4.1, which could functionally substitute for the Kir2.1 N terminus, we propose a more general role of the identified N-terminal domains for post-Golgi trafficking of Kir channels.

Two discontinuous segments in the carboxyl terminus are required for membrane targeting of the rat gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter-1 (GAT1).

Like all members of the Na(+)/Cl(-)-dependent neurotransmitter transporter family, the rat gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter-1 (GAT1) is sorted and targeted to specialized domains of the cell surface. Here we identify two discontinuous signals in the carboxyl terminus of GAT1 that cooperate to drive surface expression. This conclusion is based on the following observations. Upon deletion of the last 37 amino acids, the resulting GAT1-Delta37 remained trapped in the endoplasmic reticulum. The presence of 10 additional residues (GAT1-Delta27) sufficed to support the interaction with the coat protein complex II component Sec24D; surface expression of GAT1-Delta27 reached 50% of the wild type level. Additional extensions up to the position -3 (GAT1-Delta3) did not further enhance surface expression. Thus the last three amino acids (AYI) comprise a second distal signal. The sequence AYI is reminiscent of a type II PDZ-binding motif; accordingly substituting Glu for Ile abrogated the effect of this motif. Neither the AYI motif nor the last 10 residues rescued the protein from intracellular retention when grafted onto GAT1-Delta37 and GAT1-Delta32; the AYI motif was dispensable for targeting of GAT1 to the growth cone of differentiating PC12 cells. We therefore conclude that the two segments act in a hierarchical manner such that the proximal motif ((569)VMI(571)) supports endoplasmic reticulum export of the protein and the distal AYI motif places GAT1 under the control of the exocyst.

Structures of the carbohydrate recognition domain of Ca2+-independent cargo receptors Emp46p and Emp47p.

Emp46p and Emp47p are type I membrane proteins, which cycle between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus by vesicles coated with coat protein complexes I and II (COPI and COPII). They are considered to function as cargo receptors for exporting N-linked glycoproteins from the ER. We have determined crystal structures of the carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) of Emp46p and Emp47p of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in the absence and presence of metal ions. Both proteins fold as a beta-sandwich, and resemble that of the mammalian ortholog, p58/ERGIC-53. However, the nature of metal binding is distinct from that of Ca(2+)-dependent p58/ERGIC-53. Interestingly, the CRD of Emp46p does not bind Ca(2+) ion but instead binds K(+) ion at the edge of a concave beta-sheet whose position is distinct from the corresponding site of the Ca(2+) ion in p58/ERGIC-53. Binding of K(+) ion to Emp46p appears essential for transport of a subset of glycoproteins because the Y131F mutant of Emp46p, which cannot bind K(+) ion fails to rescue the transport in disruptants of EMP46 and EMP47 genes. In contrast the CRD of Emp47p binds no metal ions at all. Furthermore, the CRD of Emp46p binds to glycoproteins carrying high mannosetype glycans and the is promoted by binding not the addition of Ca(2+) or K(+) ion in These results suggest that Emp46p can be regarded as a Ca(2+)-independent intracellular lectin at the ER exit sites.

Potential role for protein kinases in regulation of bidirectional endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi transport revealed by protein kinase inhibitor H89.

Recent evidence suggests a regulatory connection between cell volume, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) export, and stimulated Golgi-to-ER transport. To investigate the potential role of protein kinases we tested a panel of protein kinase inhibitors for their effect on these steps. One inhibitor, H89, an isoquinolinesulfonamide that is commonly used as a selective protein kinase A inhibitor, blocked both ER export and hypo-osmotic-, brefeldin A-, or nocodazole-induced Golgi-to-ER transport. In contrast, H89 did not block the constitutive ER Golgi-intermediate compartment (ERGIC)-to-ER and Golgi-to-ER traffic that underlies redistribution of ERGIC and Golgi proteins into the ER after ER export arrest. Surprisingly, other protein kinase A inhibitors, KT5720 and H8, as well as a set of protein kinase C inhibitors, had no effect on these transport processes. To test whether H89 might act at the level of either the coatomer protein (COP)I or the COPII coat protein complex we examined the localization of betaCOP and Sec13 in H89-treated cells. H89 treatment led to a rapid loss of Sec13-labeled ER export sites but betaCOP localization to the Golgi was unaffected. To further investigate the effect of H89 on COPII we developed a COPII recruitment assay with permeabilized cells and found that H89 potently inhibited binding of exogenous Sec13 to ER export sites. This block occurred in the presence of guanosine-5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate, suggesting that Sec13 recruitment is inhibited at a step independent of the activation of the GTPase Sar1. These results identify a requirement for an H89-sensitive factor(s), potentially a novel protein kinase, in recruitment of COPII to ER export sites, as well as in stimulated but not constitutive Golgi-to-ER transport.
