The clathrin assembly lymphoid myeloid leukemia (CALM) gene encodes a putative homologue of the clathrin assembly synaptic protein AP180. Hence the biochemical properties, the subcellular localization, and the role in endocytosis of a CALM protein were studied. In vitro binding and coimmunoprecipitation demonstrated that the clathrin heavy chain is the major binding partner of CALM. The bulk of cellular CALM was associated with the membrane fractions of the cell and localized to clathrin-coated areas of the plasma membrane. In the membrane fraction, CALM was present at near stoichiometric amounts relative to clathrin. To perform structure-function analysis of CALM, we engineered chimeric fusion proteins of CALM and its fragments with the green fluorescent protein (GFP). GFP-CALM was targeted to the plasma membrane-coated pits and also found colocalized with clathrin in the Golgi area. High levels of expression of GFP-CALM or its fragments with clathrin-binding activity inhibited the endocytosis of transferrin and epidermal growth factor receptors and altered the steady-state distribution of the mannose-6-phosphate receptor in the cell. In addition, GFP-CALM overexpression caused the loss of clathrin accumulation in the trans-Golgi network area, whereas the localization of the clathrin adaptor protein complex 1 in the trans-Golgi network remained unaffected. The ability of the GFP-tagged fragments of CALM to affect clathrin-mediated processes correlated with the targeting of the fragments to clathrin-coated areas and their clathrin-binding capacities. Clathrin-CALM interaction seems to be regulated by multiple contact interfaces. The C-terminal part of CALM binds clathrin heavy chain, although the full-length protein exhibited maximal ability for interaction. Altogether, the data suggest that CALM is an important component of coated pit internalization machinery, possibly involved in the regulation of clathrin recruitment to the membrane and/or the formation of the coated pit.

In neuroendocrine cells sorting of proteins from immature secretory granules (ISGs) occurs during maturation and is achieved by clathrin-coated vesicles containing the adaptor protein (AP)-1. We have investigated the role of the mannose-6-phosphate receptors (M6PRs) in the recruitment of AP-1 to ISGs. M6PRs were detected in ISGs isolated from PC12 cells by subcellular fractionation, and by immuno-EM labelling on cryosections. In light of our previous results, where greater than 80% of the ISGs were found to contain furin, we examined the relationship between furin and M6PR on ISGs. By immunoisolation techniques we find that 50% at most of the ISGs contain the cation-independent (CI)-M6PR. Using sequential immunoisolation we could demonstrate that there are two populations of ISGs: those that have both M6PR and furin, and those which contain only furin. Furthermore, using immobilized GST-fusion proteins containing the cytoplasmic domain of the CI-M6PR we have shown binding of AP-1 requires casein kinase II phosphorylation of the CI-M6PR fusion protein, and in particular phosphorylation of Ser(2474). Addition of these phosphorylated GST-CI-M6PR fusion proteins to a cell-free assay reconstituting AP-1 binding to ISGs inhibits AP-1 recruitment to ISGs.

The role of ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) in Golgi associated, gamma-adaptin homologous, Arf-interacting protein (GGA)-mediated membrane traffic was examined. GGA is a clathrin adaptor protein that binds Arf through its GAT domain and the mannose-6-phosphate receptor through its VHS domain. The GAT and VHS domains interacted such that Arf and mannose-6-phosphate receptor binding to GGA were mutually exclusive. In vivo, GGA bound membranes through either Arf or mannose-6-phosphate receptor. However, mannose-6-phosphate receptor excluded Arf from GGA-containing structures outside of the Golgi. These data are inconsistent with predictions based on the model for Arf's role in COPI veside coat function. We propose that Arf recruits GGA to a membrane and then, different from the current model, 'hands-off' GGA to mannose-6-phosphate receptor. GGA and mannose-6-phosphate receptor are then incorporated into a transport intermediate that excludes Arf.

A novel peripheral membrane protein (2c18) that interacts directly with the gamma 'ear' domain of the adaptor protein complex 1 (AP-1) in vitro and in vivo is described. Ultrastructural analysis demonstrates a colocalization of 2c18 and gamma1-adaptin at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and on vesicular profiles. Overexpression of 2c18 increases the fraction of membrane-bound gamma1-adaptin and inhibits its release from membranes in response to brefeldin A. Knockdown of 2c18 reduces the steady-state levels of gamma1-adaptin on membranes. Overexpression or downregulation of 2c18 leads to an increased secretion of the lysosomal hydrolase cathepsin D, which is sorted by the mannose-6-phosphate receptor at the TGN, which itself involves AP-1 function for trafficking between the TGN and endosomes. This suggests that the direct interaction of 2c18 and gamma1-adaptin is crucial for membrane association and thus the function of the AP-1 complex in living cells. We propose to name this protein gamma-BAR.

Mutations in the large BEACH domain-containing protein LYST causes Chediak-Higashi syndrome. The diagnostic hallmark is enlarged lysosomes and lysosome-related organelles in various cell types. Dysfunctional secretion of enlarged lysosome-related organelles has been observed in cells with mutations in LYST, but the capacity of the enlarged lysosomes to degrade endogenous proteins has not been studied. Here, we show for the first time that small interfering RNA-depletion of LYST in human cell lines recapitulates the LYST mutant phenotype of enlarged lysosomes. We found no evidence for an effect of LYST depletion on autophagy or endocytic degradation. Autophagosomes are formed in normal size and quantities and are able to fuse to the enlarged lysosomes, leading to normal rates of degradation. Degradation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was similarly not affected, indicating that the enlarged lysosomes are fully functional in degrading endogenous proteins. Retrograde trafficking of toxins as well as the localization of transporters of lysosomal proteins, adaptor protein-3 (AP-3) and cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR), were all found to be unaffected by LYST. Quantitative analysis of the enlarged lysosomes shows that LYST depletion causes a reduction in vesicle quantity per cell, while the total enzymatic content and vesicular pH are unaffected, supporting a role for LYST in lysosomal fission and/or fusion events.

Accumulating evidence has indicated a role for autophagy-related (Atgs) proteins in cell regulation which is independent of their autophagic activities. As the only known transmembrane protein essential for autophagy, Atg9 cycles between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes. Here, we report a function for mammalian Atg9 (mAtg9) in the transport of lysosomal hydrolases which impacts the lysosomal degradation capacity. Depletion of mAtg9 inhibits the degradation of epidermal growth factor receptor and the maturation of cathepsin D and cathepsin L. mAtg9 interacts with adaptor protein-1 (AP1) and the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor, facilitating AP1 polymerization and the transport of cathepsin D from the TGN. These results suggest that mAtg9 may serve as a coreceptor of lysosomal hydrolases for their TGN export by cycling between the TGN and endosomes.
