The intracellular transport of newly synthesized G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus is blocked at 20 degrees C and this spanning membrane glycoprotein accumulates in the last Golgi compartment, the trans Golgi-network (TGN). Previous morphological evidence suggested that the TGN enlarged significantly under this condition. In the present study we have used stereological procedures to estimate the volume and surface area of the Golgi stack and the TGN of baby hamster kidney cells under different conditions. The results indicate that the increase in the size of the TGN at 20 degrees C is accompanied by a significant decrease in the surface area and volume of the preceding Golgi compartments. A similar effect is also seen in uninfected cells at 20 degrees C, as well as during normal (37 degrees C) infection with Semliki Forest virus. In the latter case, however, the decrease in the size of the Golgi stack and the increase in that of the TGN is not accompanied by inhibition of transport from the Golgi complex to the cell surface. The results indicate that the Golgi stack and the TGN are dynamic and interrelated structures that are capable of rapid alteration in total surface area in response to changes in the rates of membrane transport.

In Vivo Effects

Previous studies have shown that the Golgi stack and the trans-Golgi network (TGN) may play a role in capturing escaped resident endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins, and directing their retrograde transport back to that organelle. Whether this retrograde movement represents a highly specific or more generalized membrane trafficking pathway is unclear. To better understand both the retrograde and anterograde trafficking pathways of the secretory apparatus, we examined more closely the in vivo effects of two structurally unrelated compounds, the potent lipoxygenase inhibitor nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), and the non-steroidal estrogen cyclofenil diphenol (CFD), both of which are known to inhibit secretion. In the presence of these compounds, transport of vesicular stomatitis virus G membrane glycoprotein from the ER to the Golgi complex, and from the TGN to the cell surface, was inhibited potently and rapidly. Surprisingly, we found that NDGA and CFD stimulated the rapid, but not concomitant, retrograde movement of both Golgi stack and TGN membrane proteins back to the ER until both organelles were morphologically absent from cells. Both NDGA- and CFD-stimulated TGN and Golgi retrograde membrane trafficking were inhibited by microtubule depolymerizing agents and energy poisons. Removal of NDGA and CFD resulted in the complete, but not concomitant, reformation of both Golgi stacks and their closely associated TGN compartments. These studies suggest that NDGA and CFD unmask a generalized bulk recycling pathway to the ER for both Golgi and TGN membranes and, further, that NDGA and CFD are useful for investigating the molecular mechanisms that control the formation and maintenance of both the Golgi stack proper and the TGN.

Vesicular Stomatitis

The appearance of newly synthesized glycoprotein (G) of vesicular stomatitis virus at the surface of infected BHK cells is inhibited reversibly by treatment with carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). Under the conditions used, CCCP treatment depleted the cellular ATP levels by 40–60%, consistent with inhibition of transport at energy-requiring stages. The G protein that accumulates in cells treated with CCCP is heterogeneous. Most of it is larger than the newly synthesized G protein, is acylated with palmitic acid, and is resistant to endoglycosidase H (Endo H). Most of the arrested G protein is also sensitive to digestion with neuraminidase, indicating that it has undergone at least partial sialylation. A minority of G protein accumulates under these conditions in a less-mature form, suggesting its inability to reach the mid-Golgi compartment. The oligosaccharides of this G protein are Endo-H-sensitive and seem to be partly trimmed. Whereas sialylated G protein was arrested intracellularly, fucose-labelled G protein was able to complete its transport to the cell surface, indicating that a late CCCP-sensitive step separates sialylation from fucosylation. These post-translational modifications indicate that G protein can be transported as far as the trans-Golgi in the presence of CCCP and is not merely arrested in the endoplasmic reticulum.

In the accompanying paper (Griffiths, G., P. Quinn, and G. Warren, 1983, J. Cell Biol., 96:835-850), we suggested that the Golgi stack could be divided into functionally distinct cis, medial, and trans compartments, each comprising one or two adjacent cisternae. These compartments were identified using Baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells infected with Semliki Forest virus (SFV) and treated with monensin. This drug blocked intracellular transport but not synthesis of the viral membrane proteins that were shown to accumulate in the medial cisternae. In consequence, these cisternae bound nucleocapsids. Here we show that this binding markedly increased the density of the medial cisternae and allowed us to separate them from cis and trans Golgi cisternae. A number of criteria were used to show that the intracellular capsid-binding membranes (ICBMs) observed in vivo were the same as those membranes sedimenting to a higher density in sucrose gradients in vitro, and this separation of cisternae was then used to investigate the distribution, within the Golgi stack, of some specific Golgi functions. After labeling for 2.5 min with [3H]palmitate, most of the fatty acid attached to viral membrane proteins was found in the ICBM fraction. Because the viral membrane proteins appear to move from cis to trans, this suggests that fatty acylation occurs in the cis or medial Golgi cisternae. In contrast, the distribution of alpha 1-2-mannosidase, an enzyme involved in trimming high-mannose oligosaccharides, and of galactosyl transferase, which is involved in the construction of complex oligosaccharides, was not affected by monensin treatment. Together with data in the accompanying paper, this would restrict these two Golgi functions to the trans cisternae. Our data strongly support the view that Golgi functions have specific and discrete locations within the Golgi stack.

The hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza virus has been used as a model system to study the biosynthesis and intracellular transport of integral membrane proteins in mammalian cells. To investigate the role of protein structure in facilitating transport along the secretory pathway, we have examined the expression in monkey CV-1 cells of a large number of mutant HA molecules. The majority of the HA mutants do not progress along the secretory pathway and accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and we have shown that assembly of newly-synthesized HA monomers into correctly folded trimeric structures is required for transport of the protein to the Golgi apparatus. By contrast, only one HA mutant has beegn characterized whose transport is blocked at a post-Golgi stage of the pathway and thus little is known about the factors involved in the sorting of the HA molecule from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane (PM). In this study we are using electron microscopy to precisely define the intracellular site of accumulation of two mutant HAs whose transport is blocked at different stages of the secretory pathway. In mutant HAJS67, a cysteine residue (cys67) involved in a key disulfide bond has been substituted by a serine residue. In mutant HA164, the 10 amino acid cytoplasmic tail of the wild-type HA has been replaced by a non-homologous sequence of 16 amino acids. Biochemical and immunof1uoresence analyses have indicated that HAJS67 molecules remain in the ER compartment while HA164 is largely confined to a post-Golgi compartment, possibly the trans Golgi network (TGN).

Background: Golgi-localized Rab34 has been implicated in repositioning of lysosomes and activation of macropinocytosis. Methods: Using HeLa cells we undertook a detailed investigation of Rab34 involvement in intracellular vesicle transport. Results: Immunoelectron microscopy and immunocytochemistry confirmed that Rab34 is localized to the Golgi stack and that active Rab34 shifts lysosomes to the cell centre. Contrary to a previous report, we found that Rab34 is not concentrated at membrane ruffles and is not involved in macropinocytosis. Also, Rab34 induced repositioning of lysosomes does not affect transport of the mannose 6-phosphate receptor to endosomes. Most strikingly, HeLa cells depleted of Rab34 by transfection with dominant-negative Rab34, or following RNA interference, failed to transport the temperature-sensitive Vesicular Stomatitis Virus G-protein fused to GFP (VSVG-GFP) from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. Transfection with mouse Rab34 rescued this defect. Using endogenous MHC class I (MHC) as a marker, an endoglycosidase H resistance assay showed that ER to medial Golgi traffic remains intact in knock-down cells indicating that Rab34 specifically functions in post-Golgi transport. Further, brefeldin A treatment revealed that Rab34 acts at the Golgi, not the trans-Golgi network. Conclusion: Collectively, these results define Rab34 as a novel member of the secretory pathway acting at the Golgi.

Pro-α-factor (pro-αf) is posttranslationally modified in the yeast Golgi complex by the addition of α1,6-, α1,2-, and α1,3-linked mannose to N-linked oligosaccharides and by a Kex2p-initiated proteolytic processing event. Previous work has indicated that the α1,6- and α1,3-mannosylation and Kex2p-dependent processing of pro-αf are initiated in three distinct compartments of the Golgi complex. Here, we present evidence that α1,2-mannosylation of pro-αf is also initiated in a distinct Golgi compartment. Linkage-specific antisera and an endo-α1,6-d-mannanase (endoM) were used to quantitate the amount of each pro-αf intermediate during transport through the Golgi complex. We found that α1,6-, α1,2-, and α1,3-mannose were sequentially added to pro-αf in a temporally ordered manner, and that the intercompartmental transport factor Sec18p/N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor was required for each step. The Sec18p dependence implies that a transport event was required between each modification event. In addition, most of the Golgi-modified pro-αf that accumulated in brefeldin A-treated cells received only α1,6-mannosylation as did ∼50% of pro-αf transported to the Golgi in vitro. This further supports the presence of an early Golgi compartment that houses an α1,6-mannosyltransferase but lacks α1,2-mannosyltransferase activity in vivo. We propose that the α1,6-, α1,2-, and α1,3-mannosylation and Kex2p-dependent processing events mark the cis, medial,trans, and trans-Golgi network of the yeast Golgi complex, respectively.

Baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells were infected with Semliki Forest virus (SFV) and, 2 h later, were treated for 4 h with 10 microM monensin. Each of the four to six flattened cisternae in the Golgi stack became swollen and separated from the others. Intracellular transport of the viral membrane proteins was almost completely inhibited, but their synthesis continued and they accumulated in the swollen Golgi cisternae before the monensin block. In consequence, these cisternae bound large numbers of viral nucleocapsids and were easily distinguished from other swollen cisternae such as those after the block. These intracellular capsid-binding membranes (ICBMs) were not stained by cytochemical markers for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (glucose-6-phosphatase) or trans Golgi cisternae (thiamine pyrophosphatase, acid phosphatase) but were labeled by Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCA) in thin, frozen sections. Since this lectin labels only Golgi cisternae in the middle and on the trans side of the stack (Griffiths, G., R. Brands, B. Burke, D. Louvard, and G. Warren, 1982, J. Cell Biol., 95:781-792), we conclude that ICBMs are derived from Golgi cisternae in the middle of the stack, which we term medial cisternae. The overall movement of viral membrane proteins appears to be from cis to trans Golgi cisternae (see reference above), so monensin would block movement from medial to the trans cisternae. It also blocked the trimming of the high-mannose oligosaccharides bound to the viral membrane proteins and their conversion to complex oligosaccharides. These functions presumably reside in trans Golgi cisternae. This is supported by data in the accompanying paper, in which we also show that fatty acids are covalently attached to the viral membrane proteins in the cis or medial cisternae. We suggest that the Golgi stack can be divided into three functionally distinct compartments, each comprising one or two cisternae. The viral membrane proteins, after leaving the ER, would all pass in sequence from the cis to the medial to the trans compartment.

The transfer of the vesicular stomatitis virus-encoded glycoprotein (G protein) between Golgi populations in fused cells (Rothman, J. E., L. J. Urbani, and R. Brands. 1984. J. Cell Biol. 99:248-259) is exploited here to study and to help define the compartmental organization of the Golgi stack and to characterize the mechanism of intercompartmental transport. We find that G protein that has just received its peripheral N-acetylglucosamine in the Golgi complex of one cell is efficiently transferred to the Golgi complex of another cell to receive galactose (Gal). Remarkably, this transport occurs at the same rate between these two compartments whether they are present in the same or different Golgi populations. Therefore, a dissociative (presumably vesicular) transport step moves G protein from one part of the Golgi in which N-acetylglucosamine is added to another in which Gal is added. Minutes later, upon receiving Gal, the same G protein molecules are very poorly transferred to an exogenous Golgi population after cell fusion. Therefore, once this intercompartmental transfer has already taken place (before fusion), it cannot take place again (after fusion); i.e., transport across the compartment boundary in the Golgi complex that separates the sites of N-acetylglucosamine and Gal incorporation is a vectorial process. We conclude that transfers between Golgi cisternae occur by a stochastic process in which transport vesicles budding from cisternae dissociate, can diffuse away, and then attach to and fuse with the appropriate target cisterna residing in the same or in a different stack, based on a biochemical pairing after a random encounter. Under these circumstances, a transported protein would almost always randomize among stacks with each intercisternal transfer; it would not progress systematically through a single stack. Altogether, our studies define three sequential compartments in the Golgi stack.

Here we report that the kinesin-5 motor Klp61F, which is known for its role in bipolar spindle formation in mitosis, is required for protein transport from the Golgi complex to the cell surface in Drosophila S2 cells. Disrupting the function of its mammalian orthologue, Eg5, in HeLa cells inhibited secretion of a protein called pancreatic adenocarcinoma up-regulated factor (PAUF) but, surprisingly, not the trafficking of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSV-G) to the cell surface. We have previously reported that PAUF is transported from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the cell surface in specific carriers called CARTS that exclude VSV-G. Inhibition of Eg5 function did not affect the biogenesis of CARTS; however, their migration was delayed and they accumulated near the Golgi complex. Altogether, our findings reveal a surprising new role of Eg5 in nonmitotic cells in the facilitation of the transport of specific carriers, CARTS, from the TGN to the cell surface.

We have developed a novel technique with which to investigate the morphological basis of exocytotic traffic. We have used expression of HRP from cDNA in a variety of cells in combination with peroxidase cytochemistry to outline traffic into and out of the Golgi apparatus at the electron microscopic level with very high sensitivity. A secretory form of the peroxidase (ssHRP) is active from the beginning of the secretory pathway and the activity is efficiently cleared from cells. Investigation of the morphological elements involved in the itinerary of soluble ER proteins using ssHRP tagged with the ER retention motif (ssHRPKDEL) shows that it progresses through the Golgi stack no further than the cis-most element. Traffic between the RER and the Golgi stack as outlined by ssHRPKDEL occurs via vesicular carriers as well as by tubular elements. ssHRP has also been used to investigate the trans side of the Golgi complex, where incubation at reduced temperatures outlines the trans-Golgi network with HRP reaction product. Tracing the endosomal compartment with transferrin receptor in double-labeling experiments with ssHRP fails to show any overlap between these two compartments.
