Microtubule motors, such as the minus end-directed motor, cytoplasmic dynein, play an important role in maintaining the integrity, intracellular location, and function of the Golgi apparatus, as well as in the translocation of membrane between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. We have immunolocalised conventional cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain to the Golgi apparatus in cultured vertebrate cells. In addition, we present evidence that cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain cycles constitutively between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus: it colocalises partially with the intermediate compartment, it is found on nocodazole-induced peripheral Golgi elements and, most strikingly, on Brefeldin A-induced tubules that are moving towards microtubule plus ends. The direction of movement of membrane between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus is therefore unlikely to be regulated by controlling motor-membrane interactions: rather, the motors probably remain bound throughout the whole cycle, with their activity being modulated instead. We also report that the overexpression of p50/dynamitin results in the loss of cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain from the membrane of peripheral Golgi elements. These results explain how dynamitin overexpression causes the inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi transport complex movement towards the centrosomal region, and support the general model that an intact dynactin complex is required for cytoplasmic dynein binding to all cargoes.

And Function

The Golgi apparatus forms stacks of cisternae in many eukaryotic cells. However, little is known about how such a stacked structure is formed and maintained. To address this question, plant cells provide a system suitable for live-imaging approaches because individual Golgi stacks are well separated in the cytoplasm. We established tobacco BY-2 cell lines expressing multiple Golgi markers tagged by different fluorescent proteins and observed their responses to brefeldin A (BFA) treatment and BFA removal. BFA treatment disrupted cis, medial, and trans cisternae but caused distinct relocalization patterns depending on the proteins examined. Medial- and trans-Golgi proteins, as well as one cis-Golgi protein, were absorbed into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), but two other cis-Golgi proteins formed small punctate structures. After BFA removal, these puncta coalesced first, and then the Golgi stacks regenerated from them in the cis-to-trans order. We suggest that these structures have a property similar to the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment and function as the scaffold of Golgi regeneration.

In axons, organelles move away from (anterograde) and toward (retrograde) the cell body along microtubules. Previous studies have provided compelling evidence that conventional kinesin is a major motor for anterograde fast axonal transport. It is reasonable to expect that cytoplasmic dynein is a fast retrograde motor, but relatively few tests of dynein function have been reported with neurons of intact organisms. In extruded axoplasm, antibody disruption of kinesin or the dynactin complex (a dynein activator) inhibits both retrograde and anterograde transport. We have tested the functions of the cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain (cDhc64C) and the p150Glued(Glued) component of the dynactin complex with the use of genetic techniques in Drosophila.cDhc64C and Glued mutations disrupt fast organelle transport in both directions. The mutant phenotypes, larval posterior paralysis and axonal swellings filled with retrograde and anterograde cargoes, were similar to those caused by kinesin mutations. Why do specific disruptions of unidirectional motor systems cause bidirectional defects? Direct protein interactions of kinesin with dynein heavy chain and p150Glued were not detected. However, strong dominant genetic interactions between kinesin, dynein, and dynactin complex mutations in axonal transport were observed. The genetic interactions between kinesin and either Glued orcDhc64C mutations were stronger than those betweenGlued and cDhc64C mutations themselves. The shared bidirectional disruption phenotypes and the dominant genetic interactions demonstrate that cytoplasmic dynein, the dynactin complex, and conventional kinesin are interdependent in fast axonal transport.

Dependent Transport

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of most vertebrate cells is spread out by kinesin-dependent transport along microtubules, whereas studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae indicated that motility of fungal ER is an actin-based process. However, microtubules are of minor importance for organelle transport in yeast, but they are crucial for intracellular transport within numerous other fungi. Herein, we set out to elucidate the role of the tubulin cytoskeleton in ER organization and dynamics in the fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis. An ER-resident green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fusion protein localized to a peripheral network and the nuclear envelope. Tubules and patches within the network exhibited rapid dynein-driven motion along microtubules, whereas conventional kinesin did not participate in ER motility. Cortical ER organization was independent of microtubules or F-actin, but reformation of the network after experimental disruption was mediated by microtubules and dynein. In addition, a polar gradient of motile ER-GFP stained dots was detected that accumulated around the apical Golgi apparatus. Both the gradient and the Golgi apparatus were sensitive to brefeldin A or benomyl treatment, suggesting that the gradient represents microtubule-dependent vesicle trafficking between ER and Golgi. Our results demonstrate a role of cytoplasmic dynein and microtubules in motility, but not peripheral localization of the ER inU. maydis.

Dynein Heavy Chain

RT-PCR cloning was performed to find unknown members of the dynein superfamily expressed in rat brain. Six kinds of degenerate primers designed for the dynein catalytic domain consensuses were used for extensive PCR amplifications. We have sequenced 550 plasmid clones which turned out to include 13 kinds of new dynein-like sequences (DLP1-8, 9A/B, 10–12) and cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain. In these clones, alternative splicing was detected for a 105 nt-domain containing the CFDEFNRI consensus just downstream of the most N-terminal P-loop (DLP9A and 9B). By using these obtained sequences, initial hybridization studies were performed. Genomic Southern blotting showed each sequence corresponds to a single copy of the gene, while northern blotting of adult brain presented more than one band for some subtypes. We further accomplished molecular evolutionary analysis to recognize their phylogenetic origins for the axonemal and non-axonemal (cytoplasmic) functions. Different methods (UPGMA, NJ and MP) presented well coincident phylogenetic trees from 44 partial amino acid sequences of dynein heavy chain from various eukaryotes. The trunk for all the cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain homologues diverged directly from the root of the phylogenetic tree, suggesting that the first dynein gene duplication defined two distinct functions as respective subfamilies. Of particular interest, we found a duplication event of the cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain gene giving rise to another subtype, DLP4, located between the divergence of yeast and that of Dictyostelium. Such evolutionary topology builds up an inceptive hypothesis that there are at least two non-axonemal dynein heavy chains in mammals.

Golgi Matrix

It is unclear whether the mammalian Golgi apparatus can form de novo from the ER or whether it requires a preassembled Golgi matrix. As a test, we assayed Golgi reassembly after forced redistribution of Golgi matrix proteins into the ER. Two conditions were used. In one, ER redistribution was achieved using a combination of brefeldin A (BFA) to cause Golgi collapse and H89 to block ER export. Unlike brefeldin A alone, which leaves matrix proteins in relatively large remnant structures outside the ER, the addition of H89 to BFA-treated cells caused ER accumulation of all Golgi markers tested. In the other, clofibrate treatment induced ER redistribution of matrix and nonmatrix proteins. Significantly, Golgi reassembly after either treatment was robust, implying that the Golgi has the capacity to form de novo from the ER. Furthermore, matrix proteins reemerged from the ER with faster ER exit rates. This, together with the sensitivity of BFA remnants to ER export blockade, suggests that presence of matrix proteins in BFA remnants is due to cycling via the ER and preferential ER export rather than their stable assembly in a matrix outside the ER. In summary, the Golgi apparatus appears capable of efficient self-assembly.

We have isolated a cDNA clone (mERD2) for the mammalian (bovine) homologue of the yeast ERD2 gene, which codes for the yeast HDEL receptor. The deduced amino acid sequence bears extensive homology to its yeast counterpart and is almost identical to a previously described human sequence. The sequence predicts a very hydrophobic protein with multiple membrane spanning domains, as confirmed by analysis of the in vitro translation product. The protein encoded by mERD2 (p23) has widespread occurrence, being present in all the cell types examined. p23 was localized to the cis-side of the Golgi apparatus and to a spotty intermediate compartment which mediates ER to Golgi transport. A majority of the intracellular staining could be accumulated in the intermediate compartment by a low temperature (15 degrees C) or brefeldin A. During recovery from these treatments, the spotty intermediate compartment staining of p23 was shifted to the perinuclear staining of the Golgi apparatus and tubular structures marked by p23 were observed. These tubular structures may serve to mediate transport between the intermediate compartment and the Golgi apparatus.
