The glycoside digitonin was used to selectively permeabilize the plasma membrane exposing functionally and morphologically intact ER and Golgi compartments. Permeabilized cells efficiently transported vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G) through sealed, membrane-bound compartments in an ATP and cytosol dependent fashion. Transport was vectorial. VSV-G protein was first transported to punctate structures which colocalized with p58 (a putative marker for peripheral punctate pre-Golgi intermediates and the cis-Golgi network) before delivery to the medial Golgi compartments containing alpha-1,2-mannosidase II and processing of VSV-G to endoglycosidase H resistant forms. Exit from the ER was inhibited by an antibody recognizing the carboxyl-terminus of VSV-G. In contrast, VSV-G protein colocalized with p58 in the absence of Ca2+ or the presence of an antibody which inhibits the transport component NSF (SEC18). These studies demonstrate that digitonin permeabilized cells can be used to efficiently reconstitute the early secretory pathway in vitro, allowing a direct comparison of the morphological and biochemical events involved in vesicular tafficking, and identifying a key role for the p58 containing compartment in ER to Golgi transport.

Using the glycoprotein of the tsO45 mutant of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-G) as a marker, we have developed a system capable of measuring vesicular transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the trans Golgi network (TGN) in vitro. Movement from the ER to the cis Golgi compartment was assessed by the conversion of VSV-G from a totally endoglycosidase D (endo D)-resistant form to a species containing one endo D-resistant and one endo D-sensitive oligosaccharide (GD1). Similarly, delivery to the medial cisternae was measured by the appearance of the completely endo D-sensitive form of VSV-G (GD2) or by the acquisition of complete resistance to endoglycosidase H (endo H) (GHr) and delivery to the TGN by the appearance of an endo H-resistant form of VSV-G which was sensitive to digestion with neuraminidase and subsequently beta-galactosidase (GHt). Movement between each sequential compartment required ATP and soluble proteins (cytosol) and was inhibited by nonhydrolyzable analogues of GTP and by an antibody toward the N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor NSF. In contrast, fractionation of the cytosol by ammonium sulfate precipitation indicated that distinct proteins were required for movement between successive compartments. Similarly, inclusion of a mutant form of the small molecular weight GTP-binding protein rab1A inhibited movement between the ER and cis Golgi, and between the cis and medial cisternae, but did not affect transport from the medial Golgi to the TGN. Conversely, the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine prevented movement between the medial Golgi and the TGN but did not influence transport between the ER and early Golgi compartments. This study provides the first demonstration that vesicular transport between the ER and TGN can be reconstituted in a cytosol-dependent fashion in vitro, allowing a direct analysis of the roles of individual components in multiple transport events.

The question of how membrane proteins are delivered from the TGN to the cell surface in fibroblasts has received little attention. In this paper we have studied how their post-Golgi delivery routes compare with those in epithelia] cells. We have analyzed the transport of the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein, the Semliki Forest virus spike glycoprotein, both basolateral in MDCK cells, and the influenza virus hemagglutinin, apical in MDCK cells. In addition, we also have studied the transport of a hemagglutinin mutant (Cys543Tyr) which is basolateral in MDCK cells. Aluminum fluoride, a general activator of heterotrimeric G proteins, inhibited the transport of the basolateral cognate proteins, as well as of the hemagglutinin mutant, from the TGN to the cell surface in BHK and CHO cells, while having no effect on the surface delivery of the wild-type hemagglutinin. Only wild-type hemagglutinin became insoluble in the detergent CHAPS during transport through the BHK and CHO Golgi complexes, whereas the basolateral marker proteins remained CHAPS-soluble. We also have developed an in vitro assay using streptolysin O-permeabilized BHK cells, similar to the one we have previously used for analyzing polarized transport in MDCK cells (Pimplikar, S.W., E. Ikonen, and K. Simons. 1994. J. Cell Biol. 125:1025-1035). In this assay anti-NSF and rab-GDI inhibited transport of Semliki Forest virus spike glycoproteins from the TGN to the cell surface while having little effect on transport of the hemagglutinin. Altogether these data suggest that fibroblasts have apical and basolateral cognate routes from the TGN to the plasma membrane.

We have developed a system that recreates in vitro the generation of post-Golgi vesicles from an isolated Golgi fraction prepared from vesicular stomatitis virus- or influenza virus-infected Madin-Darby canine kidney or HepG2 cells. In this system, vesicle generation is temperature- and ATP-dependent and requires a supply of cytosolic proteins, including an N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor distinct from NSF. Cytosolic proteins obtained from yeast were as effective as mammalian cytosolic proteins in supporting vesicle formation and had the same requirements. The vesicles produced (50-80 nm in diameter) are depleted of the trans Golgi marker sialyltransferase, contain the viral glycoprotein molecules with their cytoplasmic tails exposed, and do not show an easily recognizable protein coat. Vesicle generation was inhibited by brefeldin A, which indicates that it requires the activation of an Arf-like GTP-binding protein that promotes assembly of a vesicle coat. Vesicles formed in the presence of the nonhydrolyzable GTP analogue guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate retained a nonclathrin protein coat resembling that of COP-coated vesicles, and sedimented more rapidly in a sucrose gradient than the uncoated ones generated in its absence. This indicates that GTP hydrolysis is not required for vesicle generation but that it is for vesicle uncoating. The activity of a Golgi-associated protein kinase C (PKC) was found to be necessary for the release of post-Golgi vesicles, as indicated by the capacity of a variety of inhibitors and antibodies to PKC to suppress it, as well as by the stimulatory effect of the PKC activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate.

Yeast Sec22p participates in both anterograde and retrograde vesicular transport between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus by functioning as a v-SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor [NSF] attachment protein receptor) of transport vesicles. Three mammalian proteins homologous to Sec22p have been identified and are referred to as Sec22a, Sec22b/ERS-24, and Sec22c, respectively. The existence of three homologous proteins in mammalian cells calls for detailed cell biological and functional examinations of each individual protein. The epitope-tagged forms of all three proteins have been shown to be primarily associated with the ER, although functional examination has not been carefully performed for any one of them. In this study, using antibodies specific for Sec22b/ERS-24, it is revealed that endogenous Sec22b/ERS-24 is associated with vesicular structures in both the perinuclear Golgi and peripheral regions. Colabeling experiments for Sec22b/ERS-24 with Golgi mannosidase II, the KDEL receptor, and the envelope glycoprotein G (VSVG) of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) en route from the ER to the Golgi under normal, brefeldin A, or nocodazole-treated cells suggest that Sec22b/ERS-24 is enriched in the pre-Golgi intermediate compartment (IC). In a well-established semi-intact cell system that reconstitutes transport from the ER to the Golgi, transport of VSVG is inhibited by antibodies against Sec22b/ERS-24. EGTA is known to inhibit ER-Golgi transport at a stage after vesicle/transport intermediate docking but before the actual fusion event. Antibodies against Sec22b/ERS-24 inhibit ER-Golgi transport only when they are added before the EGTA-sensitive stage. Transport of VSVG accumulated in pre-Golgi IC by incubation at 15 degreesC is also inhibited by Sec22b/ERS-24 antibodies. Morphologically, VSVG is transported from the ER to the Golgi apparatus via vesicular intermediates that scatter in the peripheral as well as the Golgi regions. In the presence of antibodies against Sec22b/ERS-24, VSVG is seen to accumulate in these intermediates, suggesting that Sec22b/ERS-24 functions at the level of the IC in ER-Golgi transport.

The Semliki Forest virus (SFV) glycoprotein precursor p62 is processed to the E2 and E3 during the transport from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the cell surface. We have studied the regulation of the membrane fusion machinery (Rab/N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-sensitive fusion protein (NSF)/soluble NSF attachment protein (SNAP)-SNAP receptor) in this processing. Activation of the disassembly of this complex with recombinant NSF stimulated the cleavage of p62 in permeabilized cells. Inactivation of NSF with a mutant alpha-SNAP(L294A) or NEM treatment inhibited processing of p62. Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor inhibited the cleavage. Inactivation of NSF blocks the transport of SFV glycoproteins and vesicular stomatitis virus G-glycoprotein from the TGN membranes to the cell surface. The results support the conclusion that inhibition of membrane fusion arrests p62 in the TGN and prevents its processing by furin.
