The transport factor p115 is essential for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi traffic. P115 interacts with two Golgi proteins, GM130 and giantin, suggesting that they might also participate in ER-Golgi traffic. Here, we show that peptides containing the GM130 or the giantin p115 binding domain and anti-GM130 and anti-giantin antibodies inhibit transport of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-G protein to a mannosidase II-containing Golgi compartment. To determine whether p115, GM130, and giantin act together or sequentially during transport, we compared kinetics of traffic inhibition. Anti-p115, anti-GM130, and anti-giantin antibodies inhibited transport at temporally distinct steps, with the p115-requiring step before the GM130-requiring stage, and both preceding the giantin-requiring stage. Examination of the distribution of the arrested VSV-G protein showed that anti-p115 antibodies inhibited transport at the level of vesicular-tubular clusters, whereas anti-GM130 and anti-giantin antibodies inhibited after the VSV-G protein moved to the Golgi complex. Our results provide the first evidence that GM130 and giantin are required for the delivery of a cargo protein to the mannosidase II-containing Golgi compartment. These data are most consistent with a model where transport from the ER to the cis/medial-Golgi compartments requires the action of p115, GM130, and giantin in a sequential rather than coordinate mechanism.

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.

GalT2 (UDP-Gal:GA2/GM2/GD2 beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase) is a Golgi-resident type II membrane protein that participates in the synthesis of glycosphingolipids. The molecular determinants for traffic and localization of this and other glycosyltransferases are still poorly characterized. Considering the possibility that interactions with other proteins may influence these processes, in the present study we carried out a yeast two-hybrid screening using elements of the N-terminal domain of GalT2 as bait. In this screening, we identified calsenilin and its close homologue CALP (calsenilin-like protein), both members of the recoverin-NCS (neuronal calcium sensor) family of calcium-binding proteins. In vitro, GalT2 binds to immobilized recombinant CALP, and CALP binds to immobilized peptides with the GalT2 cytoplasmic tail sequence. GalT2 and calsenilin interact physically when co-expressed in CHO (Chinese-hamster ovary)-K1 cells. The expression of CALP or calsenilin affect Golgi localization of GalT2, and of two other glycosyltransferases, SialT2 (CMP-NeuAc:GM3 sialyltransferase) and GalNAcT (UDP-GalNAc:lactosylceramide/GM3/GD3 beta1-4 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase), by redistributing them from the Golgi to the ER (endoplasmic reticulum), whereas the localization of the VSV-G (G-protein of the vesicular stomatitis virus) or the Golgin GM130 was essentially unaffected. Conversely, the expression of GalT2 affects the localization of calsenilin and CALP by shifting a fraction of the molecules from being mostly diffuse in the cytosol, to clustered structures in the perinuclear region. These combined in vivo and in vitro results suggest that CALP and calsenilin are involved in the trafficking of Golgi glycosyltransferases.

In eukaryotic cells several physiologic and pathologic conditions generate the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), leading to ER stress. To restore normal function, some ER transmembrane proteins sense the ER stress and activate coordinated signalling pathways collectively called the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR). Little is known on how the UPR relates to post-ER compartments and to the export from the ER of newly synthesized proteins. Here, we report that the ER stress response induced by either thapsigargin or nitric oxide modifies the dynamics of the intracellular distribution of ERGIC-53 and GM130, two markers of the ER Golgi Intermediate Compartment and of the cis-Golgi, respectively. In addition, induction of ER stress alters the morphology of the ERGIC and the Golgi complex and interferes with the reformation of both compartments. Moreover, ER stress rapidly reduces the transport to the Golgi complex of the temperature sensitive mutant of the Vesicular Stomatitis Virus G Glycoprotein (VSV-G) fused with the Green Fluorescent Protein (ts045G), without apparently decreasing the amount of the protein competent for export. Interestingly, a parallel rapid reduction of the number of Sec31 labelled fluorescent puncta on the ER membranes does occur, thus suggesting that the ER stress alters the ER export and the dynamic of post-ER compartments by rapidly targeting the formation of COPII-coated transport intermediates.

Glycolipid glycosyltransferases (GGT) are transported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi, their site of residence, via COPII vesicles. An interaction of a (R/K)X(R/K) motif at their cytoplasmic tail (CT) with Sar1 is critical for the selective concentration in the transport vesicles. In this work using computational docking, we identify three putative binding pockets in Sar1 (sites A, B, and C) involved in the interaction with the (R/K)X(R/K) motif. Sar1 mutants with alanine replacement of amino acids in site A were tested in vitro and in cells. In vitro, mutant versions showed a reduced ability to bind immobilized peptides with the CT sequence of GalT2. In cells, Sar1 mutants (Sar1(D198A)) specifically affect the exiting of GGT from the ER, resulting in an ER/Golgi concentration ratio favoring the ER. Neither the typical Golgi localization of GM130 nor the exiting and transport of the G protein of the vesicular stomatitis virus were affected. The protein kinase inhibitor H89 produced accumulation of Sec23, Sar1, and GalT2 at the ER exit sites; Sar1(D189A) also accumulated at these sites, but in this case GalT2 remained disperse along ER membranes. The results indicate that amino acids in site A of Sar1 are involved in the interaction with the CT of GGT for concentration at ER exiting sites.

We have utilized the enveloped viral model to study the effect of fluvastatin on membrane trafficking in isolated rat myofibers. Our immunofluorescence studies constantly showed that infections in myofibers, which were treated with fluvastatin prior and during the infection with either vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) or influenza A virus, propagated more slowly than in control myofibers without drug treatment. Experiments with a virus expressing Dad1 tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP-Dad1) showed that fluvastatin did not affect its distribution within the ER/SR network and immunofluorescence staining for GM130 did not show any marked effect on the structure of the Golgi components. Furthermore, fluvastatin did not inhibit trafficking of the chimeric transport marker VSV temperature sensitive G protein (tsG-GFP) from the ER to the Golgi. We next subjected VSV infected myofibers for pulse-chase labeling experiments and found that fluvastatin did not slow down the ER-to-Golgi trafficking or Golgi to plasma membrane trafficking of the viral glycoprotein. These studies show that fluvastatin inhibited the propagation of viral infection in skeletal myofibers but no adverse effect on the exocytic trafficking could be demonstrated. These results suggest that other effects of statins rather than inhibition of ER-to-Golgi trafficking might be behind the myotoxic effects of the statins.

Production of a vesicular stomatitis virus spike protein G (VSVG)-pseudotyped lentiviral expression vector in HEK293 cells decreased on overexpression of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) but not that of ICAM1 or TfR1. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) revealed a reduction in vector RNA as a function of LDLR expression. Decreased syncytium formation suggested diminished surface expression of VSVG. Intracellular VSVG granules colocalized with LDLR, ER-Golgi intermediate compartment protein 53 (ERGIC53), LAMP2, and vimentin but not with GM130 or calnexin, suggesting that VSVG interacts with LDLR within the ERGIC, resulting in rerouting into the aggresome/autophagosome pathway.
