Golgi-localized, γ-Ear–containing, ADP-ribosylation factor-binding proteins (GGAs) and adaptor protein-1 (AP-1) mediate clathrin-dependent trafficking of transmembrane proteins between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes. In yeast, the vacuolar sorting receptor Vps10p follows a direct pathway from the TGN to the late endosome/prevacuolar compartment (PVC), whereas, the processing protease Kex2p partitions between the direct pathway and an indirect pathway through the early endosome. To examine the roles of the Ggas and AP-1 in TGN–PVC transport, we used a cell-free assay that measures delivery to the PVC of either Kex2p or a chimeric protein (K-V), in which the Vps10p cytosolic tail replaces the Kex2p tail. Either antibody inhibition or dominant-negative Gga2p completely blocked K-V transport but only partially blocked Kex2p transport. Deletion of APL2, encoding the β subunit of AP-1, did not affect K-V transport but partially blocked Kex2p transport. Residual Kex2p transport seen with apl2Δ membranes was insensitive to dominant-negative Gga2p, suggesting that the apl2Δ mutation causes Kex2p to localize to a compartment that precludes Gga-dependent trafficking. These results suggest that yeast Ggas facilitate the specific and direct delivery of Vps10p and Kex2p from the TGN to the PVC and that AP-1 modulates Kex2p trafficking through a distinct pathway, presumably involving the early endosome.

We have previously identified a novel family of proteins called the GGAs (Golgi-localized, γ-ear-containing, ADP-ribosylation factor-binding proteins). These proteins consist of an NH2-terminal VHS domain, followed by a GAT domain, a variable domain, and a γ-adaptin ear homology domain. Studies from our own laboratory and others, making use of both yeast and mammals cells, indicate that the GGAs facilitate trafficking from the trans-Golgi network to endosomes. Here we have further investigated the function of the GGAs. We find that GGA-deficient yeast are not only defective in vacuolar protein sorting but they are also impaired in their ability to process α-factor. Using deletion mutants and chimeras, we show that the VHS domain is required for GGA function and that the VHS domain from Vps27p will not substitute for the GGA VHS domain. In contrast, the γ-adaptin ear homology domain contributes to GGA function but is not absolutely required, and full function can be restored by replacing the GGA ear domain with the γ-adaptin ear domain. Deleting the γ-adaptin gene together with the twoGGA genes exacerbates the phenotype in yeast, suggesting that they function on parallel pathways. In mammalian cells, the association of GGAs with the membrane is extremely unstable, which may account for their absence from purified clathrin-coated vesicles. Double- and triple-labeling immunofluorescence experiments indicate that the GGAs and AP-1 are associated with distinct populations of clathrin-coated vesicles budding from the trans-Golgi network. Together with results from other studies, our findings suggest that the GGAs act as monomeric adaptors, with the four domains involved in cargo selection, membrane localization, clathrin binding, and accessory protein recruitment.

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.

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae it is generally accepted that there are two routes for trafficking of proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the vacuole. One involves direct transport from the TGN to the vacuole. The second involves transport from the TGN to the prevacuolar compartment (PVC) via GGA coated vesicles, followed by PVC to vacuole transport. We propose that there is a third route. This route entails transit from the TGN to the early endosome (EE), followed by delivery to the PVC and vacuole. In support of an alternative route, the processing kinetics of A(F[arrow]A)-ALP are not affected by mutations in the GGA proteins. This is in contrast to proteins that use the GGA pathway, as their delivery to the vacuole is significantly slowed when GGA function is ablated. Further support of an EE itinerary is the observation that A(F[arrow]A)-ALP co localizes with the lipophilic dye, FM4-64 at a time when the dye is associated with the EE. Disruption of the AP-1 vesicle coat complex leads to an accelerated processing of A(F[arrow]A)-ALP. Appending the region of A(F[arrow]A)-ALP that interacts with AP-1 to Cps1p delays its progress to the vacuole. These results are consistent with a model in which A(F[arrow]A)-ALP passes through the EE in transit to the vacuole. A(F[arrow]A)-ALP physically interacts with AP-1, and this interaction delays its delivery to the vacuole. Data presented in this thesis suggests that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae AP-1 functions as a retrieval mechanism from the EE to the TGN.

Gap Junction Hemichannels

Cells that express multiple connexins have the capacity to form heteromeric (mixed) gap junction hemichannels. We used a dominant negative connexin construct, consisting of bacterial β-galactosidase fused to the C terminus of connexin43 (Cx43/β-gal), to examine connexin compatibility in NIH 3T3 cells. Cx43/β-gal is retained in a perinuclear compartment and inhibits Cx43 transport to the cell surface. The intracellular connexin pool induced by Cx43/β-gal colocalized with a medial Golgi apparatus marker and was readily disassembled by treatment with brefeldin A. This was unexpected, since previous studies indicated that Cx43 assembly into hexameric hemichannels occurs in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and is sensitive to brefeldin A. Further analysis by sucrose gradient fractionation showed that Cx43 and Cx43/β-gal were assembled into a subhexameric complex. Cx43/β-gal also specifically interacted with Cx46, but not Cx32, consistent with the ability of Cx43/β-gal to simultaneously inhibit multiple connexins. We confirmed that interactions between Cx43/β-gal and Cx46 reflect the ability of Cx43 and Cx46 to form heteromeric complexes, using HeLa and alveolar epithelial cells, which express both connexins. In contrast, ROS osteoblastic cells, which differentially sort Cx43 and Cx46, did not form Cx43/Cx46 heteromers. Thus, cells have the capacity to regulate whether or not compatible connexins intermix.

It has been shown previously that whilst the rat type I integral membrane protein TGN38 (ratTGN38) is predominantly localised to the trans-Golgi network this protein does reach the cell surface from where it is internalised and delivered back to the trans-Golgi network. This protein thus provides a suitable tool for the investigation of trafficking pathways between the trans-Golgi network and the cell surface and back again. The human orthologue of ratTGN38, humTGN46, behaves in a similar fashion. These proteins are internalised from the cell surface via clathrin mediated endocytosis, a process which is dependent upon the GTPase activity of dynamin. We thus reasoned that humTGN46 would accumulate at the surface of cells rendered defective in clathrin mediated endocytosis by virtue of the fact that they express a GTPase defective mutant of dynamin I. It did not. In fact, expression of a dominant negative GTPase defective mutant of dynamin I had no detectable effect on the steady state distribution of humTGN46. One explanation for this observation is that humTGN46 does not travel directly to the cell surface from the trans-Golgi network. Further studies on cells expressing the dominant negative GTPase defective mutant of dynamin I indicate that the major recycling pathway for humTGN46 is in fact between the trans-Golgi network and the early endosome.
