The trans-Golgi network (TGN) is the major sorting station in the secretory pathway of all eukaryotic cells. How the TGN sorts proteins and lipids to generate the enrichment of sphingolipids and sterols at the plasma membrane is poorly understood. To address this fundamental question in membrane trafficking, we devised an immunoisolation procedure for specific recovery of post-Golgi secretory vesicles transporting a transmembrane raft protein from the TGN to the cell surface in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using a novel quantitative shotgun lipidomics approach, we could demonstrate that TGN sorting selectively enriched ergosterol and sphingolipid species in the immunoisolated secretory vesicles. This finding, for the first time, indicates that the TGN exhibits the capacity to sort membrane lipids. Furthermore, the observation that the immunoisolated vesicles exhibited a higher membrane order than the late Golgi membrane, as measured by C-Laurdan spectrophotometry, strongly suggests that lipid rafts play a role in the TGN-sorting machinery.

ABSTRACT Establishment and maintenance of cell polarity in eukaryotes depends upon the regulation of Rho GTPases. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae , the Rho GTPase activating protein (RhoGAP) Rgd1p stimulates the GTPase activities of Rho3p and Rho4p, which are involved in bud growth and cytokinesis, respectively. Consistent with the distribution of Rho3p and Rho4p, Rgd1p is found mostly in areas of polarized growth during cell cycle progression. Rgd1p was mislocalized in mutants specifically altered for Golgi apparatus-based phosphatidylinositol 4-P [PtdIns(4)P] synthesis and for PtdIns(4,5)P 2 production at the plasma membrane. Analysis of Rgd1p distribution in different membrane-trafficking mutants suggested that Rgd1p was delivered to growth sites via the secretory pathway. Rgd1p may associate with post-Golgi vesicles by binding to PtdIns(4)P and then be transported by secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane. In agreement, we show that Rgd1p coimmunoprecipitated and localized with markers specific to secretory vesicles and cofractionated with a plasma membrane marker. Moreover, in vivo imaging revealed that Rgd1p was transported in an anterograde manner from the mother cell to the daughter cell in a vectoral manner. Our data indicate that secretory vesicles are involved in the delivery of RhoGAP Rgd1p to the bud tip and bud neck.

Phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs) regulate the interface between lipid metabolism and specific steps in membrane trafficking through the secretory pathway in eukaryotes. Herein, we describe the cis-acting information that controls PITPβ localization in mammalian cells. We demonstrate PITPβ localizes predominantly to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and that this localization is independent of the phospholipid-bound state of PITPβ. Domain mapping analyses show the targeting information within PITPβ consists of three short C-terminal specificity elements and a nonspecific membrane-binding element defined by a small motif consisting of adjacent tryptophan residues (the W202W203motif). Combination of the specificity elements with the W202W203motif is necessary and sufficient to generate an efficient TGN-targeting module. Finally, we demonstrate that PITPβ association with the TGN is tolerant to a range of missense mutations at residue serine 262, we describe the TGN localization of a novel PITPβ isoform with a naturally occurring S262Q polymorphism, and we find no other genetic or pharmacological evidence to support the concept that PITPβ localization to the TGN is obligately regulated by conventional protein kinase C (PKC) or the Golgi-localized PKC isoforms δ or ε. These latter findings are at odds with a previous report that conventional PKC-mediated phosphorylation of residue Ser262is required for PITPβ targeting to Golgi membranes.

Yeast Viability

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses two genes that encode phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4-kinases,STT4 and PIK1. Both gene products phosphorylate PtdIns at the D-4 position of the inositol ring to generate PtdIns(4)P, which plays an essential role in yeast viability because deletion of either STT4 orPIK1 is lethal. Furthermore, although both enzymes have the same biochemical activity, increased expression of either kinase cannot compensate for the loss of the other, suggesting that these kinases regulate distinct intracellular functions, each of which is required for yeast cell growth. By the construction of temperature-conditional single and double mutants, we have found that Stt4p activity is required for the maintenance of vacuole morphology, cell wall integrity, and actin cytoskeleton organization. In contrast, Pik1p is essential for normal secretion, Golgi and vacuole membrane dynamics, and endocytosis. Strikingly,pik1tscells exhibit a rapid defect in secretion of Golgi-modified secretory pathway cargos, Hsp150p and invertase, whereas stt4tscells exhibit no detectable secretory defects. Both single mutants reduce PtdIns(4)P by ∼50%; however,stt4ts/pik1tsdouble mutant cells produce more than 10-fold less PtdIns(4)P as well as PtdIns(4,5)P2. The aberrant Golgi morphology found in pik1tsmutants is strikingly similar to that found in cells lacking the function of Arf1p, a small GTPase that is known to regulate multiple membrane trafficking events throughout the cell. Consistent with this observation, arf1 mutants exhibit reduced PtdIns(4)P levels. In contrast, diminished levels of PtdIns(4)P observed in stt4tscells at restrictive temperature result in a dramatic change in vacuole size compared with pik1tscells and persistent actin delocalization. Based on these results, we propose that Stt4p and Pik1p act as the major, if not the only, PtdIns 4-kinases in yeast and produce distinct pools of PtdIns(4)P and PtdIns(4,5)P2that act on different intracellular membranes to recruit or activate as yet uncharacterized effector proteins.

Golgi Network

One of the Golgi compartments of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is defined by the presence of a specific endoproteinase, Kex2p, which cleaves precursor polypeptides at pairs of basic residues. We have used antibodies directed against the cytoplasmically disposed C-terminal domain of Kex2p to develop an immuno-affinity procedure for the isolation of Kex2p-containing organelles. The method gives a high yield of sealed organelles that are essentially free of contamination from other secretory pathway organelles while being significantly enriched for two other late Golgi enzymes, dipeptidylaminopeptidase A and the Kex1 carboxypeptidase. Our findings provide clear evidence for a single yeast Golgi compartment containing all three late-processing enzymes, which is likely to be the functional equivalent in yeast of the mammalian trans-Golgi network.

ABSTRACTActivator of G-protein signaling 3 (AGS3, also known as GPSM1) regulates the trans-Golgi network. The AGS3 GoLoco motif binds to Gαi and thereby regulates the transport of proteins to the plasma membrane. Compaction of early embryos is based on the accumulation of E-cadherin (Cdh1) at cell-contacted membranes. However, how AGS3 regulates the transport of Cdh1 to the plasma membrane remains undetermined. To investigate this, AGS3 was knocked out using the Cas9-sgRNA system. Both trans-Golgi network protein 46 (TGN46, also known as TGOLN2) and transmembrane p24-trafficking protein 7 (TMED7) were tracked in early mouse embryos by tagging these proteins with a fluorescent protein label. We observed that the majority of the AGS3-edited embryos were developmentally arrested and were fragmented after the four-cell stage, exhibiting decreased accumulation of Cdh1 at the membrane. The trans-Golgi network and TMED7-positive vesicles were also dispersed and were not polarized near the membrane. Additionally, increased Gαi1 (encoded by GNAI1) expression could rescue AGS3-overexpressed embryos. In conclusion, AGS3 reinforces the dynamics of the trans-Golgi network and the transport of TMED7-positive cargo containing Cdh1 to the cell-contact surface during early mouse embryo development.

Syntaxin 16, a Qa-SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor activating protein receptor), is involved in a number of membrane-trafficking activities, particularly transport processes at the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Recent works have now implicated syntaxin 16 in the autophagy process. In fact, syntaxin 16 appears to have dual roles, firstly in facilitating the transport of ATG9a-containing vesicles to growing autophagosomes, and secondly in autolysosome formation. The former involves a putative SNARE complex between syntaxin 16, VAMP7 and SNAP-47. The latter occurs via syntaxin 16’s recruitment by Atg8/LC3/GABARAP family proteins to autophagosomes and endo-lysosomes, where syntaxin 16 may act in a manner that bears functional redundancy with the canonical autophagosome Qa-SNARE syntaxin 17. Here, I discuss these recent findings and speculate on the mechanistic aspects of syntaxin 16’s newly found role in autophagy.
