The subcellular distribution of the regulatory (RII) subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PK-A) was analyzed at the electron-microscopical level using thawed cryo-sections of Madin Darby Bovine Kidney (MDBK) cells. The highest density of labelling for RII was found on membranes of the prelysosomal compartment (PLC; marked with the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor, MPR) and the trans-Golgi network, TGN (at 20 degrees C, marked with the G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus, VSV), as well as in coated buds on the latter. Significant labelling was also localized to the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane, including clathrin-coated pits and microvilli, and to early endosomes (identified using internalized HRP). In contrast, no significant label was seen over the Golgi compartments proximal to the TGN, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or over lysosomes. From these results we conclude that PK-A type II is associated with the membranes of precisely those subcellular compartments that are active in endocytosis and recycling of cell surface receptors. We believe these findings to be related to the well-established role of cyclic AMP in signal transduction. In particular, we propose that activation of PK-A in endocytic compartments may contribute to regulation (via phosphorylation) of the subcellular distribution of internalized surface receptors or their functional coupling to effector systems involved in signal propagation.

A Chinese hamster ovary cell mutant DTG 1-5-4, was selected for pleiotropic defects in receptor-mediated endocytosis by methods previously described (Robbins, A. R., S. S. Peng, and J. L. Marshall, 1983, J. Cell Biol., 96:1064-1071). DTG 1-5-4 exhibited increased resistance to modeccin, Pseudomonas toxin, diphtheria toxin, Sindbis virus, and vesicular stomatitis virus, as well as decreased uptake via the mannose 6-phosphate receptor. Fluorescein-dextran-labeled endosomes isolated from DTG 1-5-4 were deficient in ATP-dependent acidification in vitro. Endocytosis and endosome acidification were both restored in revertants of DTG 1-5-4 and in hybrids of DTG 1-5-4 with DTF 1-5-1, another endocytosis mutant exhibiting decreased ATP-dependent endosome acidification. Both DTG 1-5-4 and DTF 1-5-1 were blocked at two stages of infection with Sindbis virus: at low multiplicities of infecting virus, resistance reflected a block in viral penetration into the cytoplasm, but at higher multiplicities of infection the block was in virus release. Like endocytosis, release of Sindbis virus was increased in revertants of DTG 1-5-4 and in DTG 1-5-4 X DTF 1-5-1 hybrids. Decreased release of virus from DTG 1-5-4 correlated with defects in some of the Golgi apparatus-associated steps of Sindbis glycoprotein maturation: proteolytic processing of the precursor pE2, galactosylation, and transport to the cell surface all were inhibited. In contrast, mannosylation, fucosylation, and acylation of the Sindbis glycoproteins, and galactosylation of vesicular stomatitis virus and cellular glycoproteins occurred to similar respective extents in mutant and parent. Electron microscopic examination of Sindbis-infected DTG 1-5-4 showed a remarkable accumulation of nucleocapsids bound to cisternae adjacent to the Golgi apparatus; virions were observed in the lumina of some of these cisternae. That the alterations in both endocytosis and Golgi-associated steps of viral maturation result from a single genetic lesion indicates that these processes are dependent on a common biochemical mechanism. We suggest that endocytic and secretory pathways may share a common component involved in ion transport.

Rab5 and rab7 proteins belong to a superfamily of small molecular weight GTPases known to be associated with early and late endosomes, respectively. The rab5 protein plays an important regulatory role in early endocytosis, yet the function of rab7 protein was previously uncharacterized. This question was addressed by comparing the kinetics of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein internalization in baby hamster kidney cells overexpressing wild-type or dominant negative mutant forms of the rab7 protein (rab7N125I and rab7T22N). Overexpression of wild-type rab7 protein allowed normal transport to late endosomes (mannose 6-phosphate receptor positive), while the rab7N125I mutant caused the VSV G protein to accumulate specifically in early (transferrin receptor positive) endosomes. Horseradish peroxidase and paramyxovirus SV5 hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) were used in quantitative biochemical assays to further demonstrate that rab7 function was not required for early internalization events, but was crucial in downstream degradative events. The characteristic cleavage of SV5 HN in the late endosome distinguishes internalization from transport to later stages of the endocytic pathway. Mutant rab7N125I or rab7T22N proteins had no effect on the internalization of either horseradish peroxidase or SV5 HN protein. In contrast, the mutant proteins markedly inhibited the subsequent cleavage of the SV5 HN protein. Taken together, these data support a key role for rab7, downstream of rab5, in regulating membrane transport leading from early to late endosomes. We compare our findings to those obtained for the yeast homologues Ypt51p, Ypt52p, Ypt53p, and Ypt7p.

Influenza virus enters cells by endocytosis, and requires the low pH of the late endosome for successful infection. Here, we investigated the requirements for sorting into the multivesicular body pathway of endocytosis. We show that treatment of host cells with the proteasome inhibitors MG132 and lactacystin directly affects the early stages of virus replication. Unlike other viruses, such as retroviruses, influenza virus budding was not affected. The requirement for proteasome function was not shared by two other pH-dependent viruses: Semliki Forest virus and vesicular stomatitis virus. With MG132 treatment, incoming influenza viruses were retained in endosomes that partially colocalized with mannose 6-phosphate receptor, but not with classical markers of early or late endosomes. Colocalization was also observed with Rme-1, which is part of the recycling pathway of endocytosis. In addition, influenza virus entry was dependent on the vacuolar protein sorting pathway, as over-expression of dominant-negative hVPS4 caused arrest of viruses in endosome-like populations that partially colocalized with the hVPS4 protein. Overall, we conclude that influenza virus selectively requires the ubiquitin/vacuolar protein sorting pathway for entry into host cells, and that it must communicate with a specific cellular machinery for intracellular sorting during the initial phase of virus infection.

The small GTPase Rab22B (or Rab31) has been suspected to be involved in trafficking at trans-Golgi network. However, its exact cellular localization, tissue expression profile, and functions have not been uncharacterized. Specific antibody raised against Rab22B's protein revealed that Rab22B is brain-enriched, but is also present in substantial levels in spleen and intestine. In HeLa cells, endogenous Rab22B is largely associated with the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Over-expression of a GDP-binding mutant (Rab22BSN), but not wild-type Rab22B, specifically disrupts the TGN localization of TGN46, a dynamic marker which cycles between the TGN and the plasma membrane. The TGN resident membrane protein syntaxin 16, cis-Golgi markers such as GM130 and syntaxin 5, as well as the TGN/late endosome marker mannose 6-phosphate receptor (M6PR) are not affected by Rab22BSN, neither was endosomal-TGN transport of the Shiga toxin B subunit. The disruption of TGN46 staining by Rab22BSN could be specifically attributed to a domain at the C-terminal portion of Rab22B, where its sequence deviates the most from Rab22A. Over-expression of Rab22BSN inhibits the cell surface transport of the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein. Thus, Rab22B may have a role in anterograde exit from the TGN.

Golgi-localized Rab34 has been implicated in repositioning lysosomes and activation of macropinocytosis. Using HeLa cells, we undertook a detailed investigation of Rab34 involvement in intracellular vesicle transport. Immunoelectron microscopy and immunocytochemistry confirmed that Rab34 is localized to the Golgi stack and that active Rab34 shifts lysosomes to the cell center. Contrary to a previous report, we found that Rab34 is not concentrated at membrane ruffles and is not involved in fluid-phase uptake. Also, Rab34-induced repositioning of lysosomes does not affect mannose 6-phosphate receptor trafficking. Most strikingly, HeLa cells depleted of Rab34 by transfection with dominant-negative Rab34 or after RNA interference, failed to transport the temperature-sensitive vesicular stomatitis virus G-protein (VSVG) fused to green fluorescent protein (VSVG-GFP) from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. Transfection with mouse Rab34 rescued this defect. Using endogenous major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) as a marker, an endoglycosidase H resistance assay showed that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to medial Golgi traffic remains intact in knockdown cells, indicating that Rab34 specifically functions downstream of the ER. Further, brefeldin A treatment revealed that Rab34 effects intra-Golgi transport, not exit from the trans-Golgi network. Collectively, these results define Rab34 as a novel member of the secretory pathway acting at the Golgi.

Rab31, a protein that we originally cloned from a rat oligodendrocyte cDNA library, localizes in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes. However, its function has not yet been established. Here we show the involvement of Rab31 in the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) from TGN to endosomes. We demonstrate the specific sorting of cation-dependent-MPR (CD-MPR), but not CD63 and vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSVG) protein, to Rab31-containing trans-Golgi network carriers. CD-MPR and Rab31 containing carriers originate from extending TGN tubules that also contain clathrin and GGA1 coats. Expression of constitutively active Rab31 reduced the content of CD-MPR in the TGN relative to that of endosomes, while expression of dominant negative Rab31 triggered reciprocal changes in CD-MPR distribution. Expression of dominant negative Rab31 also inhibited the formation of carriers containing CD-MPR in the TGN, without affecting the exit of VSVG from this compartment. Importantly, siRNA-mediated depletion of endogenous Rab31 caused the collapse of the Golgi apparatus. Our observations demonstrate that Rab31 is required for transport of MPRs from TGN to endosomes and for the Golgi/TGN organization.

Rab31, a protein that we cloned from an oligodendrocyte cDNA library, is required for transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to endosomes and for Golgi/TGN organization. Here we extend the knowledge of the mechanism of action of Rab31 by demonstrating its interaction with OCRL-1, a phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate 5-phosphatase (PI(4,5)P(2) 5-phosphatase) that regulates the levels of PI(4,5)P(2) and PI(4)P, molecules involved in transport and Golgi/TGN organization. We show that Rab31 interacts with OCRL-1 in a yeast two-hybrid system, GST-Rab31 pull-down experiments, and coimmunoprecipitation of OCRL-1 using oligodendrocyte culture lysates. Rab31 and OCRL-1 colocalize in the TGN, post-TGN carriers, and endosomes. Cation-dependent MPR (CD-MPR) is sorted to OCRL-1-containing carriers, but CD63 and vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSVG) are not. siRNA-mediated depletion of endogenous Rab31 causes collapse of the TGN apparatus and markedly decreases the levels of OCRL-1 in the TGN and endosomes. Our observations indicate that the role of Rab31 in the Golgi/TGN structure and transport of MPRs depends on its capability to recruit OCRL-1 to domains of the TGN where the formation of carriers occurs. The importance of our observations is highlighted by the fact that mutation of OCRL-1 causes demyelination in humans.

Rabankyrin-5 (Rank-5) has been implicated as an effector of the small GTPase Rab5 and plays an important role in macropinocytosis. We have now identified Rank-5 as an interaction partner for the recycling regulatory protein, Eps15 homology domain 1 (EHD1). We have demonstrated this interaction by glutathione S-transferase-pulldown, yeast two-hybrid assay, isothermal calorimetry and co-immunoprecipitation, and found that the binding occurs between the EH domain of EHD1 and the NPFED motif of Rank-5. Similar to EHD1, we found that Rank-5 colocalizes and interacts with components of the retromer complex such as vacuolar protein sorting 26 (Vps26), suggesting a role for Rank-5 in retromer-based transport. Indeed, depletion of Rank-5 causes mislocalization of Vps26 and affects both the retrieval of mannose 6-phosphate receptor transport to the Golgi from endosomes and biosynthetic transport. Moreover, Rank-5 is required for normal retromer distribution, as overexpression of a wild-type Rank-5-small interfering RNA-resistant construct rescues retromer mislocalization. Finally, we show that depletion of either Rank-5 or EHD1 impairs secretion of vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein. Overall, our data identify a new interaction between Rank-5 and EHD1, and novel endocytic regulatory roles that include retromer-based transport and secretion.
