Host Plasma Membrane

Salmonella interact with eucaryotic membranes to trigger internalization into non-phagocytic cells. In this study we examined the distribution of host plasma membrane proteins during S. typhimurium invasion of epithelial cells. Entry of S. typhimurium into HeLa epithelial cells produced extensive aggregation of cell surface class I MHC heavy chain, beta 2-microglobulin, fibronectin-receptor (alpha 5 beta 1 integrin), and hyaluronate receptor (CD-44). Other cell surface proteins such as transferrin-receptor or Thy-1 were aggregated by S. typhimurium to a much lesser extent. Capping of these plasma membrane proteins was observed in membrane ruffles localized to invading S. typhimurium and in the area surrounding these structures. In contrast, membrane ruffling induced by epidermal growth factor only produced minor aggregations of surface proteins, localized exclusively in the membrane ruffle. This result suggests that extensive redistribution of these proteins requires a signal related to bacterial invasion. This bacteria-induced process was associated with rearrangement of polymerized actin but not microtubules, since preincubation of epithelial cells with cytochalasin D blocked aggregation of these proteins while nocodazole treatment did not. Of the host surface proteins aggregated by S. typhimurium, only class I MHC heavy chain was predominantly present in the bacteria-containing vacuoles. No extensive aggregation of host plasma membrane proteins was detected when HeLa epithelial cells were infected with invasive bacteria that do not induce membrane ruffling, including Yersinia enterocolitica, a bacterium that triggers internalization via binding to beta 1 integrin, and a S. typhimurium invasion mutant that utilizes the Yersinia-internalization route. In contrast to the situation with S. typhimurium, class I MHC heavy chain was not selectively internalized into vacuoles containing these other bacteria. Extensive aggregation of host plasma membrane proteins was also not observed when other S. typhimurium mutants that are defective for invasion were used. The amount of internalized host plasma membrane proteins in the bacteria-containing vacuoles decreased over time with all invasive bacteria examined, indicating that modification of the composition of these vacuoles occurs. Therefore, our data show that S. typhimurium induces selective aggregation and internalization of host plasma membrane proteins, processes associated with the specific invasion strategy used by this bacterium to enter into epithelial cells.

Phosphoinositide 3 Kinase

The architectural complexity of the hepatocyte canalicular surface has prevented examination of apical membrane dynamics with methods used for other epithelial cells. By adopting a pharmacological approach, we have documented for the first time the internalization of membrane proteins from the hepatic apical surface. Treatment of hepatocytes or WIF-B cells with phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors, wortmannin or LY294002, led to accumulation of the apical plasma membrane proteins, 5′-nucleotidase and aminopeptidase N in lysosomal vacuoles. By monitoring the trafficking of antibody-labeled molecules, we determined that the apical proteins in vacuoles came from the apical plasma membrane. Neither newly synthesized nor transcytosing apical proteins accumulated in vacuoles. In wortmannin-treated cells, transcytosing apical proteins traversed the subapical compartment (SAC), suggesting that this intermediate in the basolateral-to-apical transcytotic pathway remained functional. Ultrastructural analysis confirmed these results. However, apically internalized proteins did not travel through SAC en route to lysosomal vacuoles, indicating that SAC is not an intermediate in the apical endocytic pathway. Basolateral membrane protein distributions did not change in treated cells, uncovering another difference in endocytosis from the two domains. Similar effects were observed in polarized MDCK cells, suggesting conserved patterns of phosphoinositide 3-kinase regulation among epithelial cells. These results confirm a long-held but unproven assumption that lysosomes are the final destination of apical membrane proteins in hepatocytes. Significantly, they also confirm our hypothesis that SAC is not an apical endosome.

Polarized Epithelial Cells

The plasma membrane of polarized epithelial cells is composed of two structurally and functionally distinct domains -- the apical and basolateral -- that also differ in molecular composition. The routes followed by integral membrane proteins from their site of synthesis to their site of function varies between different kinds of epithelia. Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells deliver plasma membrane proteins directly to the correct domain, while polarized hepatocytes deliver all newly synthesized plasma membrane proteins initially to the basolateral membrane, then retrieve and redirect the apical membrane proteins. We are studying the targeting signals and delivery routes of DPPIV, a single transmembrane protein whose destination is the apical domain in polarized epithelial cells.DPPIV transfected into MDCK cells is delivered to the basolateral plasma membrane after long (13hr) treatment with Brefeldin A (BFA). After BFA’s removal these molecules are retrieved from the basolateral membrane and transcytosed to the apical plasma membrane. This protocol provides a useful model for studies of the indirect route of protein sorting in polarized epithelial cells, since DPPIV at the basolateral surface can be labeled with specific antibody and then subsequently followed in living cells.
