Type IV P-type ATPases (P4-ATPases) are phospholipid flippases that translocate phospholipids from the exoplasmic (or luminal) to the cytoplasmic leaflet of lipid bilayers. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, P4-ATPases are localized to specific subcellular compartments and play roles in compartment-mediated membrane trafficking; however, roles of mammalian P4-ATPases in membrane trafficking are poorly understood. We previously reported that ATP9A, one of 14 human P4-ATPases, is localized to endosomal compartments and the Golgi complex. In this study, we found that ATP9A is localized to phosphatidylserine (PS)-positive early and recycling endosomes, but not late endosomes, in HeLa cells. Depletion of ATP9A delayed the recycling of transferrin from endosomes to the plasma membrane, although it did not affect the morphology of endosomal structures. Moreover, depletion of ATP9A caused accumulation of glucose transporter 1 in endosomes, probably by inhibiting their recycling. By contrast, depletion of ATP9A affected neither the early/late endosomal transport and degradation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) nor the transport of Shiga toxin B fragment from early/recycling endosomes to the Golgi complex. Therefore ATP9A plays a crucial role in recycling from endosomes to the plasma membrane.

Cells can rapidly and reversibly alter solute transport rates by changing the kinetics of transport proteins resident within the plasma membrane. Most notably, this can be brought about by reversible phosphorylation of the transporter. An additional mechanism for acute regulation of plasma membrane transport rates is by the regulated exocytic insertion of transport proteins from intracellular vesicles into the plasma membrane and their subsequent regulated endocytic retrieval. Over the past few years, the number of transporters undergoing this regulated trafficking has increased dramatically, such that what was once an interesting translocation of a few transporters has now become a widespread modality for regulating plasma membrane solute permeabilities. The aim of this article is to review the models proposed for the regulated trafficking of transport proteins and what lines of evidence should be obtained to document regulated exocytic insertion and endocytic retrieval of transport proteins. We highlight four transporters, the insulin-responsive glucose transporter, the antidiuretic hormone-responsive water channel, the urinary bladder H(+)-ATPase, and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator Cl- channel, and discuss the various approaches taken to document their regulated trafficking. Finally, we discuss areas of uncertainty that remain to be investigated concerning the molecular mechanisms involved in regulating the trafficking of proteins.

ABSTRACT In mammalian cells, alphavirus replication complexes are anchored to the plasma membrane. This interaction with lipid bilayers is mediated through the viral methyl/guanylyltransferase nsP1 and reinforced by palmitoylation of cysteine residue(s) in the C-terminal region of this protein. Lipid content of membranes supporting nsP1 anchoring remains poorly studied. Here, we explore the membrane binding capacity of nsP1 with regard to cholesterol. Using the medically important chikungunya virus (CHIKV) as a model, we report that nsP1 cosegregates with cholesterol-rich detergent-resistant membrane microdomains (DRMs), also called lipid rafts. In search for the critical factor for cholesterol partitioning, we identify nsP1 palmitoylated cysteines as major players in this process. In cells infected with CHIKV or transfected with CHIKV trans-replicase plasmids, nsP1, together with the other nonstructural proteins, are detected in DRMs. While the functional importance of CHIKV nsP1 preference for cholesterol-rich membrane domains remains to be determined, we observed that U18666A- and imipramine-induced sequestration of cholesterol in late endosomes redirected nsP1 to these compartments and simultaneously dramatically decreased CHIKV genome replication. A parallel study of Sindbis virus (SINV) revealed that nsP1 from this divergent alphavirus displays a low affinity for cholesterol and only moderately segregates with DRMs. Behaviors of CHIKV and SINV with regard to cholesterol, therefore, match with the previously reported differences in the requirement for nsP1 palmitoylation, which is dispensable for SINV but strictly required for CHIKV replication. Altogether, this study highlights the functional importance of nsP1 segregation with DRMs and provides new insight into the functional role of nsP1 palmitoylated cysteines during alphavirus replication. IMPORTANCE Functional alphavirus replication complexes are anchored to the host cell membranes through the interaction of nsP1 with the lipid bilayers. In this work, we investigate the importance of cholesterol for such an association. We show that nsP1 has affinity for cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains formed at the plasma membrane and identify conserved palmitoylated cysteine(s) in nsP1 as the key determinant for cholesterol affinity. We demonstrate that drug-induced cholesterol sequestration in late endosomes not only redirects nsP1 to this compartment but also dramatically decreases genome replication, suggesting the functional importance of nsP1 targeting to cholesterol-rich plasma membrane microdomains. Finally, we show evidence that nsP1 from chikungunya and Sindbis viruses displays different sensitivity to cholesterol sequestering agents that parallel with their difference in the requirement for nsP1 palmitoylation for replication. This research, therefore, gives new insight into the functional role of palmitoylated cysteines in nsP1 for the assembly of functional alphavirus replication complexes in their mammalian host.

AbstractContextPlacental transport capacity influences fetal glucose supply. The syncytiotrophoblast is the transporting epithelium in the human placenta, expressing glucose transporters (GLUTs) and insulin receptors (IRs) in its maternal-facing microvillous plasma membrane (MVM) and fetal-facing basal plasma membrane (BM).ObjectiveThe objectives of this study were to (i) determine the expression of the insulin-sensitive GLUT4 glucose transporter and IR in the syncytiotrophoblast plasma membranes across gestation in normal pregnancy and in pregnancies complicated by maternal obesity, and (ii) assess the effect of insulin on GLUT4 plasma membrane trafficking in human placental explants.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsPlacental tissue was collected across gestation from women with normal body mass index (BMI) and mothers with obesity with appropriate for gestational age and macrosomic infants. MVM and BM were isolated.Main Outcome MeasuresProtein expression of GLUT4, GLUT1, and IR were determined by western blot.ResultsGLUT4 was exclusively expressed in the BM, and IR was predominantly expressed in the MVM, with increasing expression across gestation. BM GLUT1 expression was increased and BM GLUT4 expression was decreased in women with obesity delivering macrosomic babies. In placental villous explants, incubation with insulin stimulated Akt (S473) phosphorylation (+76%, P = 0.0003, n = 13) independent of maternal BMI and increased BM GLUT4 protein expression (+77%, P = 0.0013, n = 7) in placentas from lean women but not women with obesity.ConclusionWe propose that maternal insulin stimulates placental glucose transport by promoting GLUT4 trafficking to the BM, which may enhance glucose transfer to the fetus in response to postprandial hyperinsulinemia in women with normal BMI.

The peripheral Golgi protein golgin-160 is induced during 3T3L1 adipogenesis and is primarily localized to the Golgi cisternae distinct from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) in a general distribution similar to p115. Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated reduction in golgin-160 protein resulted in an increase accumulation of the insulin-responsive amino peptidase (IRAP) and the insulin-regulated glucose transporter (GLUT4) at the plasma membrane concomitant with enhanced glucose uptake in the basal state. The redistribution of GLUT4 was rescued by expression of a siRNA-resistant golgin-160 cDNA. The basal state accumulation of plasma membrane GLUT4 occurred due to an increased rate of exocytosis without any significant effect on the rate of endocytosis. This GLUT4 trafficking to the plasma membrane in the absence of golgin-160 was independent of TGN/Golgi sorting, because it was no longer inhibited by the expression of a dominant-interfering Golgi-localized, γ-ear–containing ARF-binding protein mutant and displayed reduced binding to the lectin wheat germ agglutinin. Moreover, expression of the amino terminal head domain (amino acids 1–393) had no significant effect on the distribution or insulin-regulated trafficking of GLUT4 or IRAP. In contrast, expression of carboxyl α helical region (393–1498) inhibited insulin-stimulated GLUT4 and IRAP translocation, but it had no effect on the sorting of constitutive membrane trafficking proteins, the transferrin receptor, or vesicular stomatitis virus G protein. Together, these data demonstrate that golgin-160 plays an important role in directing insulin-regulated trafficking proteins toward the insulin-responsive compartment in adipocytes.

Retinal endothelial cells are believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. In previous studies, we and others demonstrated that glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) is downregulated in response to hyperglycemia. Increased oxidative stress is likely to be the event whereby hyperglycemia is transduced into endothelial cell damage. However, the effects of sustained oxidative stress on GLUT1 regulation are not clearly established. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of increased oxidative stress on glucose transport and on GLUT1 subcellular distribution in a retinal endothelial cell line and to elucidate the signaling pathways associated with such regulation. Conditionally immortalized rat retinal endothelial cells (TR-iBRB) were incubated with glucose oxidase, which increases the intracellular hydrogen peroxide levels, and GLUT1 regulation was investigated. The data showed that oxidative stress did not alter the total levels of GLUT1 protein, although the levels of mRNA were decreased, and there was a subcellular redistribution of GLUT1, decreasing its content at the plasma membrane. Consistently, the half-life of the protein at the plasma membrane markedly decreased under oxidative stress. The proteasome appears to be involved in GLUT1 regulation in response to oxidative stress, as revealed by an increase in stabilization of the protein present at the plasma membrane and normalization of glucose transport following proteasome inhibition. Indeed, levels of ubiquitinated GLUT1 increase as revealed by immunoprecipitation assays. Furthermore, data indicate that protein kinase B activation is involved in the stabilization of GLUT1 at the plasma membrane. Thus subcellular redistribution of GLUT1 under conditions of oxidative stress is likely to contribute to the disruption of glucose homeostasis in diabetes.

Abstract There is considerable interest in the elucidation of the mechanism that governs the linkage of elongated spectrin molecules to the erythrocyte plasma membrane. The mechanism by which the “head” region of the spectrin dimer, which participates in tetramer formation, binds to the membrane via ankyrin and band 3 has been reasonably well characterized. However, the mechanism by which the tail end of the spectrin dimer is anchored to the plasma membrane is not completely understood. Dematin and adducin are actin binding proteins located at the spectrin-actin junctions or “junctional complex” in the erythrocyte membrane. Individual suppression of their function in mice by the gene deletion exerts a modest effect on erythrocyte shape and membrane stability. In contrast, the combined deletion of dematin and adducin genes results in severe defects of erythrocyte shape, membrane instability, and hemolysis. Based on these findings, we proposed a model whereby dematin and adducin could function as a molecular bridge linking the junctional complex to the plasma membrane. Using a combination of cell surface labeling, immunoprecipitation, and vesicle proteomics, we have identified glucose transporter-1 as the receptor for dematin and adducin in the human erythrocyte membrane. This finding is the first description of a transmembrane protein that binds to dematin and adducin, thus providing a rationale for the attachment of the cytoskeletal junctional complex to the lipid bilayer via glucose transporter-1. Since homologues of dematin, adducin, and glucose transporter-1 exist in many non-erythroid cells, we propose that a conserved mechanism may exist that couples sugar and other related transporters to the actin cytoskeleton.

Insulin stimulates glucose transport by recruiting the GLUT4 glucose transporter to the plasma membrane. Here we use total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy to show that two trafficking motifs of GLUT4, a FQQI motif and a TELE-based motif, target GLUT4 to specialized vesicles that accumulate adjacent to the plasma membrane of unstimulated adipocytes. Mutations of these motifs redistributed GLUT4 to transferrin-containing recycling vesicles adjacent to the plasma membrane, and the degree of redistribution correlated with the increases of the GLUT4 mutants in the plasma membrane of basal adipocytes. These results establish that GLUT4 defaults to recycling endosomes when trafficking to specialized vesicles is disrupted, supporting the hypothesis that the specialized vesicles are derived from an endosomal compartment. Insulin stimulates both the accumulation of GLUT4 in the evanescent field and the fraction of this GLUT4 that is inserted into the plasma membrane. Unexpectedly, these two steps are differentially affected by the development of insulin resistance. We ascribe this selective insulin resistance to inherent differences in the sensitivities of GLUT4 vesicle accumulation and insertion into the plasma membrane to insulin. Differences in insulin sensitivities of various processes may be a general mechanism for the development of the physiologically important phenomenon of selective insulin resistance.

Abstract Background Skeletal muscle has an important role in regulating whole-body energy homeostasis, and energy production depends on the efficient function of mitochondria. We demonstrated previously that AT-rich interactive domain 5b (Arid5b) knockout (Arid5b−/−) mice were lean and resistant to high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. While a potential role of Arid5b in energy metabolism has been suggested in adipocytes and hepatocytes, the role of Arid5b in skeletal muscle metabolism has not been studied. Therefore, we investigated whether energy metabolism is altered in Arid5b−/− skeletal muscle. Results Arid5b−/− skeletal muscles showed increased basal glucose uptake, glycogen content, glucose oxidation and ATP content. Additionally, glucose clearance and oxygen consumption were upregulated in Arid5b−/− mice. The expression of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and 4 (GLUT4) in the gastrocnemius (GC) muscle remained unchanged. Intriguingly, the expression of TBC domain family member 1 (TBC1D1), which negatively regulates GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane, was suppressed in Arid5b−/− skeletal muscle. Coimmunofluorescence staining of the GC muscle sections for GLUT4 and dystrophin revealed increased GLUT4 localization at the plasma membrane in Arid5b−/− muscle. Conclusions The current study showed that the knockout of Arid5b enhanced glucose metabolism through the downregulation of TBC1D1 and increased GLUT4 membrane translocation in skeletal muscle.

Rab22a is a small GTPase that is expressed ubiquitously in mammalian tissues and displays the highest sequence homology to Rab5. In BHK-21 cells,overexpression of the wild-type Rab22a caused formation of abnormally large vacuole-like structures containing the early-endosomal antigen EEA1 but not Rab11, a marker of recycling endosomes or the late-endosomal/lysosomal markers LAMP-1 and lyso-bis-phosphatidic acid. In HeLa cells, overexpressed Rab22a was found on smaller EEA1-positive endosomes, but a portion of the protein was also found in the Golgi complex. Using the yeast two-hybrid system and a biochemical pull-down assay, the GTP-bound form of Rab22a was found to interact with the N-terminus of EEA1. In HeLa cells overexpressing Rab22a or its mutants affected in the GTPase cycle, no significant changes were observed in the uptake of Alexa-transferrin. However, the GTPase-deficient Rab22a Q64L mutant caused a redistribution of transferrin-positive endosomes to the leading edges of cells and a fragmentation of the Golgi complex. In BHK cells,the Q64L mutant caused the accumulation of a fluid phase marker,TRITC-dextran, and a lysosomal hydrolase, aspartylglucosaminidase, in abnormal vacuole-like structures that contained both early and late endosome markers. Both the wild-type Rab22a and the Q64L mutant were found to interfere with the degradation of EGF. These results suggest that Rab22a may regulate the dynamic interactions of endosomal compartments and it may be involved in the communication between the biosynthetic and early endocytic pathways.
