Phagosomes mature into phagolysosomes by sequential fusion with early endosomes, late endosomes, and lysosomes. Phagosome-with-lysosome fusion (PLF) results in the delivery of lysosomal hydrolases into phagosomes and in digestion of the cargo. The machinery that drives PLF has been little investigated. Using a cell-free system, we recently identified the phosphoinositide lipids (PIPs) phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI(3)P) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P) as regulators of PLF. We now report the identification and the PIP requirements of four distinct subreactions of PLF. Our data show that (i) PI(3)P and PI(4)P are dispensable for the disassembly and activation of (phago)lysosomal soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors, that (ii) PI(3)P is required only after the tethering step, and that (iii) PI(4)P is required during and after tethering. Moreover, our data indicate that PI(4)P is needed to anchor Arl8 (Arf-like GTPase 8) and its effector homotypic fusion/vacuole protein sorting complex (HOPS) to (phago)lysosome membranes, whereas PI(3)P is required for membrane association of HOPS only. Our study provides a first link between PIPs and established regulators of membrane fusion in late endocytic trafficking.

To provide insights into the kiss-and-run and full fusion events resulting in endocytic delivery to lysosomes, we investigated conditions causing increased tethering and pore formation between late endocytic organelles in HeLa cells. Knockout of the SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors) VAMP7 and VAMP8 showed, by electron microscopy, the accumulation of tethered LAMP (lysosome associated membrane protein)-carrier vesicles around multivesicular bodies, as well as the appearance of ‘hourglass’ profiles of late endocytic organelles attached by filamentous tethers, but did not prevent endocytic delivery to lysosomal hydrolases. Subsequent depletion of the SNARE YKT6 reduced this delivery, consistent with it compensating for the absence of VAMP7 and VAMP8. We also investigated filamentous tethering between multivesicular bodies and enlarged endolysosomes following depletion of CHMP6 (charged multi-vesicular body protein 6) and provide the first evidence that pore formation commences at the edge of tether arrays, with pore expansion required for full membrane fusion.

Endocytosis in alveolar macrophages can be reversibly inhibited, permitting the isolation of endocytic vesicles at defined stages of maturation. Using an in vitro fusion assay, we determined that each isolated endosome population was capable of homotypic fusion. All vesicle populations were also capable of heterotypic fusion in a temporally specific manner; early endosomes, isolated 4 min after internalization, could fuse with endosomes isolated 8 min after internalization but not with 12-min endosomes or lysosomes. Lysosomes fuse with 12-min endosomes but not with earlier endosomes. Using homogenous populations of endosomes, we have identified Syntaxin 7 as a soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) required for late endosome–lysosome and homotypic lysosome fusion in vitro. A bacterially expressed human Syntaxin 7 lacking the transmembrane domain inhibited homotypic late endosome and lysosome fusion as well as heterotypic late endosome–lysosome fusion. Affinity-purified antibodies directed against Syntaxin 7 also inhibited lysosome fusion in vitro but had no affect on homotypic early endosome fusion. Previous work suggested that human VAMP-7 (vesicle-associated membrane protein-7) was a SNARE required for late endosome–lysosome fusion. A bacterially expressed human VAMP-7 lacking the transmembrane domain inhibited both late endosome–lysosome fusion and homotypic lysosome fusion in vitro. These studies indicate that: 1) fusion along the endocytic pathway is a highly regulated process, and 2) two SNARE molecules, Syntaxin 7 and human VAMP-7, are involved in fusion of vesicles in the late endocytic pathway in alveolar macrophages.

Direct Fusion

Delivery of endocytosed macromolecules to lysosomes occurs by means of direct fusion of late endosomes with lysosomes. This has been formally demonstrated in a cell-free content mixing assay using late endosomes and lysosomes from rat liver. There is evidence from electron microscopy studies that the same process occurs in intact cells. The fusion process results in the formation of hybrid organelles from which lysosomes are reformed. The discovery of the hybrid organelle has opened up three areas of investigation: (i) the mechanism of direct fusion of late endosomes and lysosomes, (ii) the mechanism of re-formation of lysosomes from the hybrid organelle, and (iii) the function of the hybrid organelle. Fusion has analogies with homotypic vacuole fusion in yeast. It requires syntaxin 7 as part of the functional trans-SNARE [SNAP receptor, where SNAP is soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein] complex and the release of lumenal calcium to achieve membrane fusion. Reformation of lysosomes from the hybrid organelle occurs by a maturation process involving condensation of lumenal content and probably removal of some membrane proteins by vesicular traffic. Lysosomes may thus be regarded as a type of secretory granule, storing acid hydrolases in between fusion events with late endosomes. The hybrid organelle is predicted to function as a ‘cell stomach’, acting as a major site of hydrolysis of endocytosed macromolecules.

Isopycnic Centrifugation

A cell-free model for the transfer of endocytosed material to lysosomes is described. Rat liver late endosomes, loaded in vivo with radiolabeled ligand by intravenous injection shortly before killing the animal, showed a specific interaction with lysosomes when incubated at 37 degrees C in the presence of cytosol and an ATP regenerating system. The location of the ligand, generally asialofetuin, was analyzed by isopycnic centrifugation on Nycodenz gradients. Appearance of radiolabel in the lysosomal position on such gradients was maximal after approximately 30 min at 37 degrees C and required the provision of undamaged cytosol, lysosomes, and an ATP regenerating system. It could not be accounted for by nonspecific bulk aggregation of membranes. Transfer occurred only from late endosomes; radiolabel in early endosomes was unaffected. Digestion of the asialofetuin, as shown by the appearance of TCA-soluble radioactivity, occurred on incubation at 37 degrees C and was increased by the provision of an ATP regenerating system.

During telophase, Golgi cisternae are regenerated and stacked from a heterogeneous population of tubulovesicular clusters. A cell-free system that reconstructs these events has revealed that cisternal regrowth requires interplay between soluble factors and soluble N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)–sensitive fusion protein (NSF) attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) via two intersecting pathways controlled by the ATPases, p97 and NSF. Golgi reassembly stacking protein 65 (GRASP65), an NEM-sensitive membrane-bound component, is required for the stacking process. NSF-mediated cisternal regrowth requires a vesicle tethering protein, p115, which we now show operates through its two Golgi receptors, GM130 and giantin. p97-mediated cisternal regrowth is p115-independent, but we now demonstrate a role for p115, in conjunction with its receptors, in stacking p97 generated cisternae. Temporal analysis suggests that p115 plays a transient role in stacking that may be upstream of GRASP65-mediated stacking. These results implicate p115 and its receptors in the initial alignment and docking of single cisternae that may be an important prerequisite for stack formation.

Fusion of yeast vacuoles requires the Rab GTPase Ypt7p, four SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide–sensitive factor attachment protein receptors), the SNARE disassembly chaperones Sec17p/Sec18p, vacuolar lipids, and the Rab-effector complex HOPS (homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting). Two HOPS subunits have direct affinity for Ypt7p. Although vacuolar fusion has been reconstituted with purified components, the functional relationships between individual lipids and Ypt7p:GTP have remained unclear. We now report that acidic lipids function with Ypt7p as coreceptors for HOPS, supporting membrane tethering and fusion. After phosphorylation by the vacuolar kinase Yck3p, phospho-HOPS needs both Ypt7p:GTP and acidic lipids to support fusion.

Insulin stimulates glucose transport in fat and muscle cells by triggering exocytosis of the glucose transporter GLUT4. To define the intracellular trafficking of GLUT4, we have studied the internalization of an epitope-tagged version of GLUT4 from the cell surface. GLUT4 rapidly traversed the endosomal system en route to a perinuclear location. This perinuclear GLUT4 compartment did not colocalize with endosomal markers (endosomal antigen 1 protein, transferrin) or TGN38, but showed significant overlap with the TGN target (t)-solubleN-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) Syntaxins 6 and 16. These results were confirmed by vesicle immunoisolation. Consistent with a role for Syntaxins 6 and 16 in GLUT4 trafficking we found that their expression was up-regulated significantly during adipocyte differentiation and insulin stimulated their movement to the cell surface. GLUT4 trafficking between endosomes and trans-Golgi network was regulated via an acidic targeting motif in the carboxy terminus of GLUT4, because a mutant lacking this motif was retained in endosomes. We conclude that GLUT4 is rapidly transported from the cell surface to a subdomain of thetrans-Golgi network that is enriched in the t-SNAREs Syntaxins 6 and 16 and that an acidic targeting motif in the C-terminal tail of GLUT4 plays an important role in this process.

Syntaxins are target-soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptors (t-SNAREs) involved in docking and fusion of vesicles in exocytosis and endocytosis. Many syntaxin isoforms have been isolated, and each one displays a distinct intracellular localization pattern. However, the signals that drive the specific intracellular localization of syntaxins are poorly understood. In this study, we used indirect immunofluorescence analysis to examine the localization of syntaxin chimeras, each containing a syntaxin transmembrane domain fused to a cytoplasmic domain derived from a different syntaxin. We show that the cytoplasmic domains of syntaxins 5, 6, 7 and 8 have important effects on intracellular localization. We also demonstrate that the transmembrane domain of syntaxin 5 is sufficient to localize the chimera to the compartment expected for wild-type syntaxin 5. Additionally, we find that syntaxins 6, 7 and 8, but not syntaxin 5, are present at the plasma membrane, and that these syntaxins cycle through the plasma membrane by virtue of their cytoplasmic domains. Finally, we find that di-leucine-based motifs in the cytoplasmic domains of syntaxins 7 and 8 are necessary for their intracellular localization and trafficking via distinct transport pathways. Combined, these results suggest that both the cytoplasmic and the transmembrane domains play important roles in intracellular localization and trafficking of syntaxins.
