Abstract
The C-terminus of GABA transporter 1 (GAT1, SLC6A1) is required for trafficking of the protein through the secretory pathway to reach its final destination, i.e. the rim of the synaptic specialization. We identified a motif of three hydrophobic residues (569VMI571) that was required for export of GAT1 from the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC). This conclusion was based on the following observations: (i) GAT1-SSS, the mutant in which 569VMI571 was replaced by serine residues, was exported from the ER in a COPII-dependent manner but accumulated in punctate structures and failed to reach the Golgi; (ii) under appropriate conditions (imposing a block at 15 degrees C, disruption of COPI), these structures also contained ERGIC53; (iii) the punctae were part of a dynamic compartment, because it was accessible to a second anterograde cargo [the temperature-sensitive variant of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSV-G)] and because GAT1-SSS could be retrieved from the punctate structures by addition of a KKxx-based retrieval motif, which supported retrograde transport to the ER. To the best of our knowledge, the VMI-motif of GAT1 provides the first example of a cargo-based motif that specifies export from the ERGIC.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is considered a specialized molecular chaperone that controls the folding of cell-regulatory proteins such as steroid receptors and kinases. However, its high abundance is suggestive of a more general function in other fundamental processes. Here, we show that HSP90 is required for vesicular protein transport in the cell. We have identified a novel chaperone complex comprising HSP90 and TPR1 that is recruited to the membrane protein VAP-33. Depletion of the TPR1 protein in mammalian cells inhibits transport of vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSVG) and leads to accumulation of this cargo protein in the Golgi apparatus. Furthermore, trafficking of VSVG between Golgi stacks is dependent on the ATPase function of HSP90 and can be inhibited by drugs specific for HSP90. Our results identify a new role for HSP90 in protein sorting, pointing to a central role for this molecular chaperone in the cell.

Abstract
E-Cadherin is a key cell-cell adhesion molecule at adherens junctions (AJs) and undergoes endocytosis when AJs are disrupted by the action of extracellular signals. To elucidate the mechanism of this endocytosis, we developed a new cell-free assay system for this reaction using the AJ-enriched fraction from rat liver. Non-trans-interacting E-cadherin, but not the trans-interacting one, underwent endocytosis in a clathrin-dependent manner. The endocytosis of trans-interacting E-cadherin was inhibited by Rac and Cdc42 small G proteins, which were activated by trans-interacting E-cadherin. Here, we describe the assay method for the endocytosis of E-cadherin from the AJ-enriched fraction prepared from rat liver.

Abstract
SNARE proteins control intracellular membrane fusion through formation of membrane-bridging helix bundles of amphipathic SNARE motifs. Repetitive cycles of membrane fusion likely involve repetitive folding/unfolding of the SNARE motif helical structure. Despite these conformational demands, little is known about conformational regulation of SNAREs by other proteins. Here we demonstrate that hsc70 chaperones stimulate in vitro SNARE complex formation among the ER/Golgi SNAREs syntaxin 5, membrin, rbetl and sec22b, under conditions in which assembly is normally inhibited. Thus, molecular chaperones can render the SNARE motif more competent for assembly. Partially purified hsc70 fractions from brain cytosol had higher specific activities than fully purified hsc70, suggesting the involvement of unidentified cofactors. Using chemical crosslinking of cells followed by immunoprecipitation, we found that hsc70 was associated with ER/Golgi SNAREs in vivo. Consistent with a modulatory role for hsc70 in transport, we found that excess hsc70 specifically inhibited ER-to-Golgi transport in permeabilized cells.

Abstract
Cortactin is an actin-binding protein that has recently been implicated in endocytosis. It binds directly to dynamin-2 (Dyn2), a large GTPase that mediates the formation of vesicles from the plasma membrane and the Golgi. Here we show that cortactin associates with the Golgi to regulate the actin- and Dyn2-dependent transport of cargo. Cortactin antibodies stain the Golgi apparatus, labelling peripheral buds and vesicles that are associated with the cisternae. Notably, in vitro or intact-cell experiments show that activation of Arf1 mediates the recruitment of actin, cortactin and Dyn2 to Golgi membranes. Furthermore, selective disruption of the cortactin-Dyn2 interaction significantly reduces the levels of Dyn2 at the Golgi and blocks the transit of nascent proteins from the trans-Golgi network, resulting in swollen and distended cisternae. These findings support the idea of an Arf1-activated recruitment of an actin, cortactin and Dyn2 complex that is essential for Golgi function.

Abstract
Although some of the principles of N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) function are well understood, remarkably little detail is known about sec1/munc18 (SM) protein function and its relationship to SNAREs. Popular models of SM protein function hold that these proteins promote or maintain an open and/or monomeric pool of syntaxin molecules available for SNARE complex formation. To address the functional relationship of the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi SM protein rsly1 and its SNARE binding partner syntaxin 5, we produced a conformation-specific monoclonal antibody that binds only the available, but not the cis-SNARE-complexed nor intramolecularly closed form of syntaxin 5. Immunostaining experiments demonstrated that syntaxin 5 SNARE motif availability is nonuniformly distributed and focally regulated. In vitro endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi transport assays revealed that rsly1 was acutely required for transport, and that binding to syntaxin 5 was absolutely required for its function. Finally, manipulation of rsly1-syntaxin 5 interactions in vivo revealed that they had remarkably little impact on the pool of available syntaxin 5 SNARE motif. Our results argue that although rsly1 does not seem to regulate the availability of syntaxin 5, its function is intimately associated with syntaxin binding, perhaps promoting a later step in SNARE complex formation or function.

Abstract
Nonviral vectors are safer and more cost-effective than viral vectors but are significantly less efficient, and thus, increasing the efficiency of nonviral vectors remains an important objective. One way to overcome this problem is by stimulating the nuclear localization of exogenous genes. Nuclear localization signals (NLSs) are known to be involved in the active transport of exogenous proteins and probes into the nucleus. However, stimulation of nuclear localization of plasmid DNA has yet to be confirmed completely. In the present study, we prepared plasmid DNA-NLS peptide conjugates and adjusted spacer length and number introduced in an attempt to increase transfection efficiency. In comparison to conjugates with unmodified plasmid DNA and short spacers, we found that NLS-plasmid DNA conjugates with covalent bonding by diazo coupling through PEG chain (MW 3400) stimulated complexation with the nuclear transport proteins importin alpha and importin beta. Evaluation of transfection showed higher expression efficiency with plasmid DNA-NLS peptide conjugates than with unmodified plasmids. However, evaluation of intracellular trafficking after microinjection into the cytoplasm showed plasmid DNA-NLS peptide conjugates only within the cytoplasm; there was no NLS-plasmid stimulation of nuclear localization. Our findings suggest that stimulation of plasmid nuclear localization cannot be achieved merely by changing spacer length or chemically modifying plasmid DNA-NLS peptide conjugates. An additional mechanism must be involved.

Abstract
The transport factor p115 is essential for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi traffic. P115 interacts with two Golgi proteins, GM130 and giantin, suggesting that they might also participate in ER-Golgi traffic. Here, we show that peptides containing the GM130 or the giantin p115 binding domain and anti-GM130 and anti-giantin antibodies inhibit transport of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-G protein to a mannosidase II-containing Golgi compartment. To determine whether p115, GM130, and giantin act together or sequentially during transport, we compared kinetics of traffic inhibition. Anti-p115, anti-GM130, and anti-giantin antibodies inhibited transport at temporally distinct steps, with the p115-requiring step before the GM130-requiring stage, and both preceding the giantin-requiring stage. Examination of the distribution of the arrested VSV-G protein showed that anti-p115 antibodies inhibited transport at the level of vesicular-tubular clusters, whereas anti-GM130 and anti-giantin antibodies inhibited after the VSV-G protein moved to the Golgi complex. Our results provide the first evidence that GM130 and giantin are required for the delivery of a cargo protein to the mannosidase II-containing Golgi compartment. These data are most consistent with a model where transport from the ER to the cis/medial-Golgi compartments requires the action of p115, GM130, and giantin in a sequential rather than coordinate mechanism.

Abstract
The membrane transport factor p115 functions in the secretory pathway of mammalian cells. Using biochemical and morphological approaches, we show that p115 participates in the assembly and maintenance of normal Golgi structure and is required for ER to Golgi traffic at a pre-Golgi stage. Injection of antibodies against p115 into intact WIF-B cells caused Golgi disruption and inhibited Golgi complex reassembly after BFA treatment and wash-out. Addition of anti-p115 antibodies or depletion of p115 from a VSVtsO45 based semi-intact cell transport assay inhibited transport. The inhibition occurred after VSV glycoprotein (VSV-G) exit from the ER but before its delivery to the Golgi complex, and resulted in VSV-G protein accumulating in peripheral vesicular tubular clusters (VTCs). The p115-requiring step of transport followed the rab1-requiring step and preceded the Ca(2+)-requiring step. Unexpectedly, mannosidase I redistributed from the Golgi complex to colocalize with VSV-G protein arrested in pre-Golgi VTCs by p115 depletion. Redistribution of mannosidase I was also observed in cells incubated at 15 degrees C. Our data show that p115 is essential for the translocation of pre-Golgi VTCs from peripheral sites to the Golgi stack. This defines a previously uncharacterized function for p115 at the VTC stage of ER to Golgi traffic.

Abstract
Many Golgi glycosyltransferases are type II membrane proteins which are cleaved to produce soluble forms that are released from cells. Cho and Cummings recently reported that a soluble form of alpha1, 3-galactosyltransferase was comparable to its membrane bound counterpart in its ability to galactosylate newly synthesized glycoproteins (Cho,S.K. and Cummings,R.D. (1997) J. Biol. Chem., 272, 13622-13628). To test the generality of their findings, we compared the activities of the full length and soluble forms of two such glycosyltransferases, ss1,4 N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GM2/GD2/ GA2 synthase; GalNAcT) and beta galactoside alpha2,6 sialyltransferase (alpha2,6-ST; ST6Gal I), for production of their glycoconjugate products in vivo . Unlike the full length form of GalNAcT which produced ganglioside GM2 in transfected cells, soluble GalNAcT did not produce detectable GM2 in vivo even though it possessed in vitro GalNAcT activity comparable to that of full length GalNAcT. When compared with cells expressing full length alpha2,6-ST, cells expressing a soluble form of alpha2,6-ST contained 3-fold higher alpha2,6-ST mRNA levels and secreted 7-fold greater alpha2,6-ST activity as measured in vitro , but in striking contrast contained 2- to 4-fold less of the alpha2,6-linked sialic acid moiety in cellular glycoproteins in vivo . In summary these results suggest that unlike alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase the soluble forms of these two glycosyltransferases are less efficient at glycosylation of membrane proteins and lipids in vivo than their membrane bound counterparts.
