We recently reported that SMAP1, a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for Arf6, directly interacts with clathrin and regulates the clathrin-dependent endocytosis of transferrin receptors from the plasma membrane. Here, we identified a SMAP1 homologue that we named SMAP2. Like SMAP1, SMAP2 exhibits GAP activity and interacts with clathrin heavy chain (CHC). Furthermore, we show that SMAP2 interacts with the clathrin assembly protein CALM. Unlike SMAP1, however, SMAP2 appears to be a regulator of Arf1 in vivo, because cells transfected with a GAP-negative SMAP2 mutant were resistant to brefeldin A. SMAP2 colocalized with the adaptor proteins for clathrin AP-1 and EpsinR on the early endosomes/trans-Golgi-network (TGN). Moreover, overexpression of SMAP2 delayed the accumulation of TGN38/46 molecule on the TGN. This suggests that SMAP2 functions in the retrograde, early endosome-to-TGN pathway in a clathrin- and AP-1–dependent manner. Thus, the SMAP gene family constitutes an important ArfGAP subfamily, with each SMAP member exerting both common and distinct functions in vesicle trafficking.

Membrane microcompartments of the early endosomes serve as a sorting and signaling platform, where receptors are either recycled back to the plasma membrane or forwarded to the lysosome for destruction. In metazoan cells, three complexes, termed BLOC-1 to -3, mediate protein sorting from the early endosome to lysosomes and lysosome-related organelles. We now demonstrate that BLOC-1 is an endosomal Rab-GAP (GTPase-activating protein) adapter complex in yeast. The yeast BLOC-1 consisted of six subunits, which localized interdependently to the endosomes in a Rab5/Vps21-dependent manner. In the absence of BLOC-1 subunits, the balance between recycling and degradation of selected cargoes was impaired. Additionally, our data show that BLOC-1 is both a Vps21 effector and an adapter for its GAP Msb3. BLOC-1 and Msb3 interacted in vivo, and both mutants resulted in a redistribution of active Vps21 to the vacuole surface. We thus conclude that BLOC-1 controls the lifetime of active Rab5/Vps21 and thus endosomal maturation along the endocytic pathway.

The trans-Golgi network (TGN) of MDCK cells is exquisitely sensitive to the fungal metabolite brefeldin A (BFA), in contrast to the refractory Golgi stack of these cells. At a concentration of 1 microgram/ml, BFA promoted extensive tubulation of the TGN while the medical Golgi marker alpha-mannosidase II was not affected. Tubules emerging minutes after addition of the drug contained both the apical marker influenza hemagglutinin (HA), previously accumulated at 20 degrees C, and the fusion protein interleukin receptor/TGN38 (TGG), a TGN marker that recycles basolaterally, indicating that, in contrast to TGN vesicles, TGN-derived tubules cannot sort apical and basolateral proteins. After 60 minutes treatment with BFA, HA and TGG tubules formed extensive networks widely spread throughout the cell, different from the focused centrosomal localization previously described in non-polarized cells. The TGG network partially codistributed with an early endosomal tubular network loaded with transferrin, suggesting that the TGG and endosomal networks had fused or that TGG had entered the endosomal network via surface recycling and endocytosis. The extensive structural alterations of the TGN were accompanied by functional disruptions, such as the extensive mis-sorting of influenza HA, and by the release of the TGN marker gamma-adaptin. Our results suggest the involvement of BFA-sensitive adaptor proteins in TGN-->surface transport.

Treatment of cultured cells with brefeldin A (BFA) induces the formation of extensive membrane tubules from the Golgi apparatus,trans-Golgi network, and early endosomes in a microtubule-dependent manner. We have reconstituted this transport process in vitro using Xenopus egg cytosol and a rat liver Golgi-enriched membrane fraction. The presence of BFA results in the formation of an intricate, interconnected tubular membrane network, a process that, as in vivo, is inhibited by nocodazole, the H1 anti-kinesin monoclonal antibody, and by membrane pretreatment with guanosine 5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate). Surprisingly, membrane tubule formation is not due to the action of conventional kinesin or any of the other motors implicated in Golgi membrane dynamics. Two candidate motors of ∼100 and ∼130 kDa have been identified using the H1 antibody, both of which exhibit motor properties in a biochemical assay. Finally, BFA-induced membrane tubule formation does not occur in metaphase cytosol, and because membrane binding of both candidate motors is not altered after incubation in metaphase compared with interphase cytosol, these results suggest that either the ATPase or microtubule-binding activity of the relevant motor is cell cycle regulated.

SOI3 was identified by a mutation, soi3-1, that suppressed a mutant trans-Golgi network (TGN) localization signal in the Kex2p cytosolic tail. SOI3, identical to RAV1, encodes a protein important for regulated assembly of vacuolar ATPase. Here, we show that Soi3/Rav1p is required for transport between the early endosome and the late endosome/prevacuolar compartment (PVC). By electron microscopy, soi3-1 mutants massively accumulated structures that resembled early endosomes. soi3Δ mutants exhibited a kinetic delay in transfer of the endocytic tracer dye FM4-64, from the 14°C endocytic intermediate to the vacuole. The soi3Δ mutation delayed vacuolar degradation but not internalization of the a-factor receptor Ste3p. By density gradient fractionation, Soi3/Rav1p associated as a peripheral protein with membranes of a density characteristic of early endosomes. The soi3 null mutation markedly reduced the rate of Kex2p transport from the TGN to the PVC but had no effect on vacuolar protein sorting or cycling of Vps10p. These results suggest that assembly of vacuolar ATPase at the early endosome is required for transport of both Ste3p and Kex2p from the early endosome to the PVC and support a model in which cycling through the early endosome is part of the normal itinerary of Kex2p and other TGN-resident proteins.

Brefeldin A (BFA) induces the formation of an extensively fused network of membranes derived from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and early endosomes (EE). We describe in detail here the unaffected passage of endocytosed material through the fused TGN/EE compartments to lysosomes in BFA-treated cells. We also confirmed that BFA caused the formation of tubular lysosomes, although the kinetics and extent of tubulation varied greatly between different cell types. The BFA-induced tubular lysosomes were often seen to form simple networks. Formation of tubular lysosomes was microtubule-mediated and energy-dependent; interestingly, however, maintenance of the tubulated lysosomes only required microtubules and was insensitive to energy poisons. Upon removal of BFA, the tubular lysosomes rapidly recovered in an energy-dependent process. In most cell types examined, the extensive TGN/EE network is ephemeral, eventually collapsing into a compact cluster of tubulo-vesicular membranes in a process that precedes the formation of tubular lysosomes. However, in primary bovine testicular cells, the BFA-induced TGN/EE network was remarkably stable (for > 12 h). During this time, the TGN/EE network coexisted with tubular lysosomes, however, the two compartments remained completely separate. These results show that BFA has multiple, profound effects on the morphology of various compartments of the endosome-lysosome system. In spite of these changes, endocytic traffic can continue through the altered compartments suggesting that transport occurs through noncoated vesicles or through vesicles that are insensitive to BFA.

Drs2p is a resident type 4 P-type ATPase (P4-ATPase) and potential phospholipid translocase of the trans-Golgi network (TGN) where it has been implicated in clathrin function. However, precise protein transport pathways requiring Drs2p and how it contributes to clathrin-coated vesicle budding remain unclear. Here we show a functional codependence between Drs2p and the AP-1 clathrin adaptor in protein sorting at the TGN and early endosomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Genetic criteria indicate that Drs2p and AP-1 operate in the same pathway and that AP-1 requires Drs2p for function. In addition, we show that loss of AP-1 markedly increases Drs2p trafficking to the plasma membrane, but does not perturb retrieval of Drs2p from the early endosome back to the TGN. Thus AP-1 is required at the TGN to sort Drs2p out of the exocytic pathway, presumably for delivery to the early endosome. Moreover, a conditional allele that inactivates Drs2p phospholipid translocase (flippase) activity disrupts its own transport in this AP-1 pathway. Drs2p physically interacts with AP-1; however, AP-1 and clathrin are both recruited normally to the TGN in drs2Δ cells. These results imply that Drs2p acts independently of coat recruitment to facilitate AP-1/clathrin-coated vesicle budding from the TGN.

Phosphatidylinositol 4 phosphate (PI4P) is highly enriched in the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Here we establish that PI4P is a key regulator of the recruitment of the GGA clathrin adaptor proteins to the TGN and that PI4P has a novel role in promoting their recognition of the ubiquitin (Ub) sorting signal. Knockdown of PI4KIIα by RNA interference (RNAi), which depletes the TGN′s PI4P, impaired the recruitment of the GGAs to the TGN. GGAs bind PI4P primarily through their GAT domain, in a region called C-GAT, which also binds Ub but not Arf1. We identified two basic residues in the GAT domain that are essential for PI4P binding in vitro and for the recruitment of GGAs to the TGN in vivo. Unlike wild-type GGA, GGA with mutated GATs failed to rescue the abnormal TGN phenotype of the GGA RNAi-depleted cells. These residues partially overlap with those that bind Ub, and PI4P increased the affinity of the GAT domain for Ub. Because the recruitment of clathrin adaptors and their cargoes to the TGN is mediated through a web of low-affinity interactions, our results show that the dual roles of PI4P can promote specific GGA targeting and cargo recognition at the TGN.

Previously we described clathrin-coated buds on tubular early endosomes that are distinct from those at the plasma membrane and the trans-Golgi network. Here we show that these clathrin-coated buds, like plasma membrane clathrin-coated pits, contain endogenous dynamin-2. To study the itinerary that is served by endosome-derived clathrin-coated vesicles, we used cells that overexpressed a temperature-sensitive mutant of dynamin-1 (dynamin-1G273D) or, as a control, dynamin-1 wild type. In dynamin-1G273D–expressing cells, 29–36% of endocytosed transferrin failed to recycle at the nonpermissive temperature and remained associated with tubular recycling endosomes. Sorting of endocytosed transferrin from fluid-phase endocytosed markers in early endosome antigen 1-labeled sorting endosomes was not inhibited. Dynamin-1G273D associated with accumulated clathrin-coated buds on extended tubular recycling endosomes. Brefeldin A interfered with the assembly of clathrin coats on endosomes and reduced the extent of transferrin recycling in control cells but did not further affect recycling by dynamin-1G273D–expressing cells. Together, these data indicate that the pathway from recycling endosomes to the plasma membrane is mediated, at least in part, by endosome-derived clathrin-coated vesicles in a dynamin-dependent manner.
