Abstract
Granule-plasma membrane docking and fusion can only occur when proteins that enable these reactions are present at the granule-plasma membrane contact. Thus, the mobility of granule membrane proteins may influence docking, and membrane fusion. We measured the mobility of vesicle associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2), synaptotagmin 1 (Syt1), and synaptotagmin 7 (Syt7) in chromaffin granule membranes in living chromaffin cells. We used a method that is not limited by standard optical resolution. A bright flash of strongly decaying evanescent field produced by total internal reflection (TIR) was used to photobleach GFP-labeled proteins in the granule membrane. Fluorescence recovery occurs as unbleached protein in the granule membrane distal from the glass interface diffuses into the more bleached proximal regions, enabling the measurement of diffusion coefficients. We found that VAMP2-EGFP and Syt7-EGFP are mobile with a diffusion coefficient of approximately 3 × 10-10 cm2/s. Syt1-EGFP mobility was below the detection limit. Utilizing these diffusion parameters, we estimated the time required for these proteins to arrive at docking and nascent fusion sites to be many tens of milliseconds. Our analyses raise the possibility that the diffusion characteristics of VAMP2 and Syt proteins could be a factor that influences the rate of exocytosis.

Abstract
Despite its discovery more than three decades ago and well-established role in protein sorting and trafficking in the early secretory pathway, the intermediate compartment (IC) has remained enigmatic. The prevailing view is that the IC evolved as a specialized organelle to mediate long-distance endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–Golgi communication in metazoan cells, but is lacking in other eukaryotes, such as plants and fungi. However, this distinction is difficult to reconcile with the high conservation of the core machineries that regulate early secretory trafficking from yeast to man. Also, it has remained unclear whether the pleiomorphic IC components—vacuoles, tubules and vesicles—represent transient transport carriers or building blocks of a permanent pre-Golgi organelle. Interestingly, recent studies have revealed that the IC maintains its compositional, structural and spatial properties throughout the cell cycle, supporting a model that combines the dynamic and stable aspects of the organelle. Moreover, the IC has been assigned novel functions, such as cell signaling, Golgi-independent trafficking and autophagy. The emerging permanent nature of the IC and its connections with the centrosome and the endocytic recycling system encourage reconsideration of its relationship with the Golgi ribbon, role in Golgi biogenesis and ubiquitous presence in eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
We studied Golgi apparatus disorganizations and reorganizations in human HepG2 hepatoblastoma cells by using the nonmetabolizable glucose analogue 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2DG) and analyzing the changes in Golgi stack architectures by 3D-electron tomography. Golgi stacks remodel in response to 2DG-treatment and are replaced by tubulo-glomerular Golgi bodies, from which mini-Golgi stacks emerge again after removal of 2DG. The Golgi stack changes correlate with the measured ATP-values. Our findings indicate that the classic Golgi stack architecture is impeded, while cells are under the influence of 2DG at constantly low ATP-levels, but the Golgi apparatus is maintained in forms of the Golgi bodies and Golgi stacks can be rebuilt as soon as 2DG is removed. The 3D-electron microscopic results highlight connecting regions that interlink membrane compartments in all phases of Golgi stack reorganizations and show that the compact Golgi bodies mainly consist of continuous intertwined tubules. Connections and continuities point to possible new transport pathways that could substitute for other modes of traffic. The changing architectures visualized in this work reflect Golgi stack dynamics that may be essential for basic cell physiologic and pathologic processes and help to learn, how cells respond to conditions of stress.

Abstract
The Golgi complex is the Grand Central Station of intracellular membrane trafficking in the secretory and endocytic pathways. Anterograde and retrograde export of cargo from the Golgi complex involves a complex interplay between the formation of coated vesicles and membrane tubules, although much less is known about tubule-mediated trafficking. Recent advances using in vitro assays have identified several cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes that are required for the biogenesis of membrane tubules and their roles in the functional organization of the Golgi complex. In this chapter we describe methods for the cell-free reconstitution of PLA2-dependent Golgi membrane tubule formation. These methods should facilitate the identification of other proteins that regulate this process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studying the biological pathways involved in mammalian milk production during lactation could have many clinical implications. The mammary gland is unique in its requirement for transport of free glucose into the cell for the synthesis of lactose, the primary carbohydrate in milk. OBJECTIVE To study GLUT1 trafficking and subcellular targeting in living mammary epithelial cells (MEC) in culture. METHODS Immunocytochemistry was used to study GLUT1 hormonally regulated subcellular targeting in human MEC (HMEC). To study GLUT1 targeting and recycling in living mouse MEC (MMEC) in culture, we constructed fusion proteins of GLUT1 and green fluorescent protein (GFP) and expressed them in CIT3 MMEC. Cells were maintained in growth medium (GM), or exposed to secretion medium (SM), containing prolactin. RESULTS GLUT1 in HMEC localized primarily to the plasma membrane in GM. After exposure to prolactin for 4 days, GLUT1 was targeted intracellularly and demonstrated a perinuclear distribution, co-localizing with lactose synthetase. The dynamic trafficking of GFP-GLUT1 fusion proteins in CIT3 MMEC suggested a basal constitutive GLUT1 recycling pathway between an intracellular pool and the cell surface that targets most GLUT1 to the plasma membrane in GM. Upon exposure to prolactin in SM, GLUT1 was specifically targeted intracellularly within 90-110 minutes. CONCLUSIONS Our studies suggest intracellular targeting of GLUT1 to the central vesicular transport system upon exposure to prolactin. The existence of a dynamic prolactin-induced sorting machinery for GLUT1 could be important for transport of free glucose into the Golgi for lactose synthesis during lactation.

Abstract
Background In animals and fungi, dimerization is crucial for targeting GRIP domain proteins to the Golgi apparatus. Only one gene in the Arabidopsis genome, AtGRIP, codes for a GRIP domain protein. It remains unclear whether AtGRIP has properties similar to those of GRIP domain proteins. Results In this study, western blot and yeast two-hybrid analyses indicated that AtGRIPs could form a parallel homodimer. In addition, yeast two-hybrid analysis indicated that AtGRIPaa711–753, AtGRIPaa711–766 and AtGRIPaa711–776 did not interact with themselves, but the intact GRIP domain with the AtGRIP C-terminus did. Confocal microscopy showed that only an intact GRIP domain with an AtGRIP C-terminus could localize to the Golgi stacks in Arabidopsis leaf protoplasts. A BLAST analysis showed that the C-terminus of GRIP proteins was conserved in the plant kingdom. Mutagenesis and yeast two-hybrid analyses showed that the L742 of AtGRIP contributed to dimerization and was crucial for Golgi localization. Conclusions These results indicate that the C-terminus of GRIP proteins is essential for self-association and for targeting of Golgi stacks in plant cells. We suggest that several properties of GRIP proteins differ between plant and animal cells.

Abstract
Rab29 (also referred as Rab7L1) is a novel Rab protein, and is recently demonstrated to regulate phagocytosis and traffic from the Golgi to the lysosome. However, its roles in membrane trafficking have not been investigated extensively. Our results in this study revealed that Rab29 is associated with the trans-Golgi network (TGN), and is essential for maintaining the integrity of the TGN, because inhibition of the activity of Rab29 or depletion of Rab29 resulted in fragmentation of the TGN marked by TGN46. Expression of the dominant negative form Rab29T21N or shRNA-Rab29 also altered the distribution of mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR), and interrupted the retrograde trafficking of M6PR through monitoring the endocytosis of CD8-tagged calcium dependent M6PR (cdM6PR) or calcium independent M6PR (ciM6PR), but without significant effects on the anterograde trafficking of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSV-G). Our results suggest that Rab29 is essential for the integrity of the TGN and participates in the retrograde trafficking of M6PRs.

Abstract
Leaf epidermal cells make ideal specimens for the investigation of the plant secretory pathway in that it is relatively easy to tag with fluorescent proteins and visualize in vivo the various organelles of the pathway. A number of techniques can be employed to identify and study proteins within the endomembrane organelles and to study their dynamics and interactions. Here, we discuss the most commonly used approaches to express proteins within arabidopsis and tobacco leaves, the use of mutant screens to identify trafficking proteins, and the use of two in vivo techniques, Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and Förster resonance energy transfer, to study protein dynamics in plant cells.

Abstract
A wave of structural reorganization involving centrosomes, microtubules, Golgi complex and ER exit sites takes place early during skeletal muscle differentiation and completely remodels the secretory pathway. The mechanism of these changes and their functional implications are still poorly understood, in large part because all changes occur seemingly simultaneously. In an effort to uncouple the reorganizations, we have used taxol, nocodazole, and the specific GSK3-β inhibitor DW12, to disrupt the dynamic microtubule network of differentiating cultures of the mouse skeletal muscle cell line C2. Despite strong effects on microtubules, cell shape and cell fusion, none of the treatments prevented early differentiation. Redistribution of centrosomal proteins, conditional on differentiation, was in fact increased by taxol and nocodazole and normal in DW12. Redistributions of Golgi complex and ER exit sites were incomplete but remained tightly linked under all circumstances, and conditional on centrosomal reorganization. We were therefore able to uncouple microtubule reorganization from the other events and to determine that centrosomal proteins lead the reorganization hierarchy. In addition, we have gained new insight into structural and functional aspects of the reorganization of microtubule nucleation during myogenesis.

Abstract
We report a multifunctional gene-trapping approach, which generates full-length Citrine fusions with endogenous proteins and conditional mutants from a single integration event of the FlipTrap vector. We identified 170 FlipTrap zebrafish lines with diverse tissue-specific expression patterns and distinct subcellular localizations of fusion proteins generated by the integration of an internal citrine exon. Cre-mediated conditional mutagenesis is enabled by heterotypic lox sites that delete Citrine and "flip" in its place mCherry with a polyadenylation signal, resulting in a truncated fusion protein. Inducing recombination with Cerulean-Cre results in fusion proteins that often mislocalize, exhibit mutant phenotypes, and dramatically knock down wild-type transcript levels. FRT sites in the vector enable targeted genetic manipulation of the trapped loci in the presence of Flp recombinase. Thus, the FlipTrap captures the functional proteome, enabling the visualization of full-length fluorescent fusion proteins and interrogation of function by conditional mutagenesis and targeted genetic manipulation.

Abstract
Receptors localized at the plasma membrane are critical for the recognition of pathogens. The molecular determinants that regulate receptor transport to the plasma membrane are poorly understood. In a screen for proteins that interact with the FLAGELIN-SENSITIVE2 (FLS2) receptor using Arabidopsis thaliana protein microarrays, we identified the reticulon-like protein RTNLB1. We showed that FLS2 interacts in vivo with both RTNLB1 and its homolog RTNLB2 and that a Ser-rich region in the N-terminal tail of RTNLB1 is critical for the interaction with FLS2. Transgenic plants that lack RTNLB1 and RTNLB2 (rtnlb1 rtnlb2) or overexpress RTNLB1 (RTNLB1ox) exhibit reduced activation of FLS2-dependent signaling and increased susceptibility to pathogens. In both rtnlb1 rtnlb2 and RTNLB1ox, FLS2 accumulation at the plasma membrane was significantly affected compared with the wild type. Transient overexpression of RTNLB1 led to FLS2 retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and affected FLS2 glycosylation but not FLS2 stability. Removal of the critical N-terminal Ser-rich region or either of the two Tyr-dependent sorting motifs from RTNLB1 causes partial reversion of the negative effects of excess RTNLB1 on FLS2 transport out of the ER and accumulation at the membrane. The results are consistent with a model whereby RTNLB1 and RTNLB2 regulate the transport of newly synthesized FLS2 to the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Arf3 associates with the TGN in a manner that is both temperature-sensitive and uniquely dependent on BIGs. TGN localization and release at 20°C are readily separated and depend on pairs of residues absolutely conserved and unique to Arf3 present at opposite ends of the protein. These results suggest that Arf3 plays a unique function at the TGN. It is widely assumed that class I and II Arfs function interchangeably throughout the Golgi complex. However, we report here that in vivo, Arf3 displays several unexpected properties. Unlike other Golgi-localized Arfs, Arf3 associates selectively with membranes of the trans-Golgi network (TGN) in a manner that is both temperature-sensitive and uniquely dependent on guanine nucleotide exchange factors of the BIGs family. For example, BIGs knockdown redistributed Arf3 but not Arf1 from Golgi membranes. Furthermore, shifting temperature to 20°C, a temperature known to block cargo in the TGN, selectively redistributed Arf3 from Golgi membranes. Arf3 redistribution occurred slowly, suggesting it resulted from a change in membrane composition. Arf3 knockdown and overexpression experiments suggest that redistribution is not responsible for the 20°C block. To investigate in more detail the mechanism for Arf3 recruitment and temperature-dependent release, we characterized several mutant forms of Arf3. This analysis demonstrated that those properties are readily separated and depend on pairs of residues present at opposite ends of the protein. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis established that all four critical residues were absolutely conserved and unique to Arf3. These results suggest that Arf3 plays a unique function at the TGN that likely involves recruitment by a specific receptor.

Abstract
Microtubules are indispensable for Golgi complex assembly and maintenance, which are integral parts of cytoplasm organization during interphase in mammalian cells. Here, we show that two discrete microtubule subsets drive two distinct, yet simultaneous, stages of Golgi assembly. In addition to the radial centrosomal microtubule array, which positions the Golgi in the centre of the cell, we have identified a role for microtubules that form at the Golgi membranes in a manner dependent on the microtubule regulators CLASPs. These Golgi-derived microtubules draw Golgi ministacks together in tangential fashion and are crucial for establishing continuity and proper morphology of the Golgi complex. We propose that specialized functions of these two microtubule arrays arise from their specific geometries. Further, we demonstrate that directional post-Golgi trafficking and cell migration depend on Golgi-associated CLASPs, suggesting that correct organization of the Golgi complex by microtubules is essential for cell polarization and motility.

Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated that sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) phosphohydrolase 1 (SPP-1), which is located mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), regulates sphingolipid metabolism and apoptosis (H. Le Stunff et al., J. Cell Biol. 158:1039-1049, 2002). We show here that the treatment of SPP-1-overexpressing cells with S1P, but not with dihydro-S1P, increased all ceramide species, particularly the long-chain ceramides. This was not due to inhibition of ceramide metabolism to sphingomyelin or monohexosylceramides but rather to the inhibition of ER-to-Golgi trafficking, determined with the fluorescent ceramide analog N-(4,4-difluoro-5,7-dimethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene-3-pentanoyl)-d-erythro-sphingosine (DMB-Cer). Fumonisin B1, an inhibitor of ceramide synthase, prevented S1P-induced elevation of all ceramide species and corrected the defect in ER transport of DMB-Cer, readily allowing its detection in the Golgi. In contrast, ceramide accumulation had no effect on either the trafficking or the metabolism of 6-([N-(7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino]hexanoyl)-sphingosine, which rapidly labels the Golgi even at 4 degrees C. Protein trafficking from the ER to the Golgi, determined with vesicular stomatitis virus ts045 G protein fused to green fluorescent protein, was also inhibited in SPP-1-overexpressing cells in the presence of S1P but not in the presence of dihydro-S1P. Our results suggest that SPP-1 regulates ceramide levels in the ER and thus influences the anterograde membrane transport of both ceramide and proteins from the ER to the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
In order to demonstrate the power of quantitative microscopy, the endocytic apparatus of rat hepatocytes was reexamined using in situ liver and short term cultured hepatocyte couplets that were allowed to internalize endocytic markers for various time intervals. Correlative confocal light and electron microscopy demonstrate a tubulovesicular reticulum representing the endocytic apparatus. Volume and membrane area account for 2% of cell volume and 30% plasma membrane surface. Colocalization analysis demonstrated that pathway-specific ligands and fluid-phase markers enter EEA1-positive vesicles, the early endosomal compartment, immediately after internalization. These vesicles are translocated rapidly from basolateral to perinuclear and apical locations. Ligands are sorted within 5 min to their respective pathways. Sequential colocalization of an asialoglycoprotein-pulse with rab7 and lamp3 demonstrates that early endosomes change into or fuse with late endosomes and lysosomes. Alternatively, markers are sequestered into the common endosome consisting of rab11-positive, long tubules that originate from early endosomes and show an affinity for the transcytotic marker pIgA and its receptor. This compartment mediates transcytosis by delivering the receptor-ligand complex to the subapical compartment, a set of apical, rab11-positive vesicles, which are connected to the tubular reticulum. We conclude that vesicular traffic between preexisting compartments, maturation or fusion of endocytic organelles, and transport in tubules act in concert and together mediate transport between compartments of a tubulovesicular endocytic apparatus. In addition, we show that quantitative microscopy using high resolution data sets can detect and characterize kinetics of various parameters thus adding a dynamic component to 3D information.

Abstract
We have identified a novel gene, six transmembrane protein of prostate 2 (STAMP2), named for its high sequence similarity to the recently identified STAMP1 gene. STAMP2 displays a tissue-restricted expression with highest expression levels in placenta, lung, heart, and prostate and is predicted to code for a 459-amino acid six transmembrane protein. Using a form of STAMP2 labeled with green flourescent protein (GFP) in quantitative time-lapse and immunofluorescence confocal microscopy, we show that STAMP2 is primarily localized to the Golgi complex, trans-Golgi network, and the plasma membrane. STAMP2 also localizes to vesicular-tubular structures in the cytosol and colocalizes with the Early Endosome Antigen1 (EEA1) suggesting that it may be involved in the secretory/endocytic pathways. STAMP2 expression is exquisitely androgen regulated in the androgen-sensitive, androgen receptor-positive prostate cancer cell line LNCaP, but not in androgen receptor-negative prostate cancer cell lines PC-3 and DU145. Analysis of STAMP2 expression in matched normal and tumor samples microdissected from prostate cancer specimens indicates that STAMP2 is overexpressed in prostate cancer cells compared with normal prostate epithelial cells. Furthermore, ectopic expression of STAMP2 in prostate cancer cells significantly increases cell growth and colony formation suggesting that STAMP2 may have a role in cell proliferation. Taken together, these data suggest that STAMP2 may contribute to the normal biology of the prostate cell, as well as prostate cancer progression.

Abstract
As thousands of new genes are identified in genomics efforts, the rush is on to learn something about the functional roles of the proteins encoded by those genes. Clues to protein functions, activation states and protein-protein interactions have been revealed in focused studies of protein localization. With technical breakthroughs such as GFP protein tagging and recombinase cloning systems, large-scale screens of protein localization are now being undertaken.

Abstract
The four mammalian golgins, p230/golgin-245, golgin-97, GCC88 and GCC185 are targeted to trans-Golgi network (TGN) membranes by their C-terminal GRIP domain in a G-protein-dependent process. The Arf-like GTPase, Arl1, has been shown to mediate TGN recruitment of p230/golgin245 and golgin-97 by interaction with their GRIP domains; however, it is not known whether all the TGN golgins bind to Arl1 and whether they are all recruited to the same or different TGN domains. Here we demonstrate differences in membrane binding properties and TGN domain recruitment of the mammalian GRIP domain proteins. Overexpression of full-length GCC185 resulted in the appearance of small punctate structures dispersed in the cytoplasm of transfected cells that were identified as membrane tubular structures by immunoelectron microscopy. The cytoplasmic GCC185-labelled structures were enriched for membrane binding determinants of GCC185 GRIP, whereas the three other mammalian GRIP family members did not colocalize with the GCC185-labelled structures. These GCC185-labelled structures included the TGN resident protein α2,6 sialyltransferase and excluded the recycling TGN protein, TGN46. The Golgi stack was unaffected by overexpression of GCC185. Overexpression of both full-length GCC185 and GCC88 showed distinct and nonoverlapping structures. We also show that the GRIP domains of GCC185 and GCC88 differ in membrane binding properties from each other and, in contrast to p230/golgin-245 and golgin-97, do not interact with Arl1 in vivo. Collectively these results show that GCC88, GCC185 and p230/golgin245 are recruited to functionally distinct domains of the TGN and are likely to be important for the maintenance of TGN subdomain structure, a critical feature for mediating protein sorting and membrane transport.

Abstract
The trans-Golgi network is the major sorting compartment of the secretory pathway for protein, lipid and membrane traffic. There is a constant flow of membrane and cargo to and from this compartment. Evidence is emerging that the trans-Golgi network has multiple biochemically and functionally distinct subdomains, each of which contributes to the combined sorting and transport requirements of this dynamic compartment. The recruitment of distinct arrays of protein complexes to trans-Golgi network membranes is likely to produce the diversity of structure and biochemistry observed amongst subdomains that serve to generate different carriers or maintain resident trans-Golgi network components. This review discusses how these subdomains may be formed and examines the molecular players involved, including G proteins, clathrin adaptors and golgin tethers. Diversity within these protein families is highlighted and shown to be critical for the functionality of the trans-Golgi network, as a mediator of protein sorting and membrane transport, and for the maintenance of Golgi structure.

Abstract
Dictyostelium cells are professional phagocytes that are optimally suited for the imaging of phagosome processing from particle uptake to exocytosis. In order to design fluorescent probes for monitoring membrane trafficking in the endocytic pathway, we have dissected a membrane protein, golvesin, and have linked fragments of its sequence to GFP. Endogenous golvesin is partitioned between the ER, the Golgi apparatus, endosomes, and the contractile vacuole complex. We have localized signals that are required for exit from the Golgi to post-Golgi compartments to the C-terminal region of the golvesin sequence. One GFP-tagged fragment turned out to be a highly specific Golgi marker and was used to demonstrate the interaction of Golgi tubules with phagosomes. Signals essential for the retrieval of golvesin at the end of phagosome processing were localized to the N-terminal region. A truncated golvesin construct escaping retrieval was employed in recording the delivery of a phagosomal protein to the plasma membrane. Applying this construct to a phagosome filled with multiple particles, we observed that the phagosome is segmented during exocytosis, meaning that sequential release of particles alternates with membrane fusion.

Abstract
A careful scrutiny of the dynamics of secretory compartments in the entire eukaryotic world reveals many common themes. The most fundamental theme is that the Golgi apparatus and related structures appear as compartments formed by the act of transporting cargo. The second common theme is the pivotal importance for endomembrane dynamics of shifting back and forth the equilibrium between full and perforated cisternae along the pathway. The third theme is the role of a continuous membrane flow in anterograde transfer of molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum through the Golgi apparatus. The last common theme is the self-regulatory balance between anatomical continuities and discontinuities of the endomembrane system. As this balance depends on secretory activity, it provides a source of morphological variability among cell types or, for a given cell type, according to environmental conditions. Beyond this first source of variability, it appears that divergent strategies pave the evolutionary routes in different eukaryotic kingdoms. These divergent strategies primarily affect the levels of stacking, of stabilization, and of clustering of the Golgi apparatus. They presumably underscore a trade-off between versatility and stability to adapt the secretory function to the degree of environmental variability. Nonequilibrium secretory structures would provide yeasts, and plants to a lesser extent, with the required versatility to cope with ever changing environments, by contrast to the stabler milieu intérieur of homeothermic animals.

Abstract
In the developing nervous system, controlled neurite extension and branching are critical for the establishment of connections between neurons and their targets. Although much is known about the regulation of axonal development, many of the molecular events that regulate axonal extension remain unknown. ADP-ribosylation factor nucleotide-binding site opener (ARNO) and ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF)6 have important roles in the regulation of the cytoskeleton as well as membrane trafficking. To investigate the role of these molecules in axonogenesis, we expressed ARNO and ARF6 in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. Expression of catalytically inactive ARNO or dominant negative ARF6 resulted in enhanced axonal extension and branching and this effect was abrogated by coexpression of constitutively active ARF6. We sought to identify the downstream effectors of ARF6 during neurite extension by coexpressing phosphatidyl-inositol-4-phosphate 5-Kinase alpha [PI(4)P 5-Kinase alpha] with catalytically inactive ARNO and dominant negative ARF6. We found that PI(4)P 5-Kinase alpha plays a role in neurite extension and branching downstream of ARF6. Also, expression of inactive ARNO/ARF6 depleted the actin binding protein mammalian ena (Mena) from the growth cone leading edge, indicating that these effects on axonogenesis may be mediated by changes in cytoskeletal dynamics. These results suggest that ARNO and ARF6, through PI(4)P 5-Kinase alpha, regulate axonal elongation and branching during neuronal development.

Abstract
Sulfation of endothelial glycoproteins by the sulfotransferase GlcNAc6ST-2 is a regulatory modification that promotes binding of the leukocyte adhesion molecule L-selectin. GlcNAc6ST-2 is a member of a family of related enzymes that act on similar carbohydrate substrates in vitro but discrete glycoproteins in vivo. We demonstrate that GlcNAc6ST-1, -2, and -3 have distinct Golgi distributions, with GlcNAc6ST-1 confined to the trans-Golgi network, GlcNAc6ST-3 confined to the early secretory pathway, and GlcNAc6ST-2 distributed throughout the Golgi. Their localization was correlated with preferred activity on either N-linked or O-linked glycoproteins. A chimera comprising the localization domain of GlcNAc6ST-1 fused to the catalytic domain of GlcNAc6ST-2 was confined to the trans-Golgi network and adopted the substrate preference of GlcNAc6ST-1. We propose a model in which Golgi enzyme localization and competition orchestrate the biosynthesis of L-selectin ligands.

Abstract
We studied influenza virus M1 protein by generating HeLa and MDCK cell lines that express M1 genetically fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP). GFP-M1 was incorporated into virions produced by influenza virus infected MDCK cells expressing the fusion protein indicating that the fusion protein is at least partially functional. Following infection of either HeLa or MDCK cells with influenza A virus (but not influenza B virus), GFP-M1 redistributes from its cytosolic/nuclear location and accumulates in nuclear dots. Immunofluorescence revealed that the nuclear dots represent nuclear dot 10 (ND10) structures. The colocalization of authentic M1, as well as NS1 and NS2 protein, with ND10 was confirmed by immunofluorescence following in situ isolation of ND10. These findings demonstrate a previously unappreciated involvement of influenza virus with ND10, a structure involved in cellular responses to immune cytokines as well as the replication of a rapidly increasing list of viruses.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by the progressive damage or loss of oligodendrocytes. In an effort to better understand the causes of oligodendrocyte destruction in MS plaques, we treated immature oligodendrocytes with glucose oxidase, ceramide, or brefeldin A. These treatments model the different mechanisms by which oligodendrocytes are thought to die. We report that the AP-1 and Egr-1 transcription factors are induced within an hour of treatment. Of the AP-1 proteins studied, c-Jun was expressed at the highest level, followed by JunD, c-Fos, and Fra-2, although different treatments induced slightly different levels of expression. Bcl-2 overexpression protects against all treatments, to differing degrees. Although Bcl-2 did not have a dramatic effect on AP-1 or Egr-1 induction within the first 3 h, it caused a lowering of steady-state redox levels with a concomitant increase in cellular glutathione. We propose that the lowering of cellular redox and the upregulation of glutathione are responsible in part for the protective properties of Bcl-2.

Abstract
The following review on galactosyltransferase (gal-T1) intends to cover genetic, biochemical, structural, biotechnological, cell biological and medical aspects of this enzyme in a comprehensive manner from discovery to the present day which have brought to light a genetic defect of this enzyme. Early work has only been included if it appeared relevant to ongoing issues. Following the evolution of a research topic over 40 years is in itself a fascinating endeavor as it permits to observe the ins and outs of hypotheses, fashions and errors. Gal-T1 is a beautiful example as it has been involved in almost every aspect of life science. Importantly, there is a future to this enzyme as a research topic, since many questions still remain unanswered: to which extent is it a representative Golgi protein? What is the role of the gene family of gal-Ts? Does gal-T1 exert any functions other than a catalytic one? Why is it phosphorylated? Does it form homodimers in vivo? Surely, there is room for further work, which is likely to reveal further insights into cellular trafficking and signaling and, in the context of the gene family, shall contribute to understanding development and morphogenesis.

Abstract
Recent observations made in live cells expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged cargo markers have demonstrated the existence of large, mobile transport intermediates linking peripheral ER exit sites (ERES) to the perinuclear Golgi. Using a procedure of rapid ethane freezing, we examined ultrastructurally the intermediates involved in ER-Golgi transport of the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein. When released at the permissive temperature of 32 degrees C, VSVG is first found to be concentrated in pleiomorphic, membrane-bound structures (of about 0.4 to 1 microm in diameter) with extensive budding profiles. These structures are devoid of COPII components and Golgi markers, but are enriched in COPI, the retrograde cargo ERGIC53, and the tethering protein p115. The structures appear to be able to undergo fusion with the Golgi stack and are tentatively referred to as ER-Golgi transport containers, or EGTCs. VSVG protein exiting the ERES at 15 degrees C is first found in clusters or strings of COPII-containing small vesicles, and morphological analysis indicates that these clusters and strings of COPII vesicles may coalesce by homotypic fusion to form the EGTCs. Together with the large transport containers mediating transport from the trans-Golgi network to the plasma membrane, EGTCs represents an emerging class of large membranous structures mediating anterograde transport between the major stations of the exocytic pathway.

Abstract
We have identified a novel gene, six transmembrane protein of prostate 1 (STAMP1), which is largely specific to prostate for expression and is predicted to code for a 490-amino acid six transmembrane protein. Using a form of STAMP1 labeled with green fluorescent protein in quantitative time-lapse and immunofluorescence confocal microscopy, we show that STAMP1 is localized to the Golgi complex, predominantly to the trans-Golgi network, and to the plasma membrane. STAMP1 also localizes to vesicular tubular structures in the cytosol and colocalizes with the early endosome antigen 1 (EEA1), suggesting that it may be involved in the secretory/endocytic pathways. STAMP1 is highly expressed in the androgen-sensitive, androgen receptor-positive prostate cancer cell line LNCaP, but not in androgen receptor-negative prostate cancer cell lines PC-3 and DU145. Furthermore, STAMP1 expression is significantly lower in the androgen-dependent human prostate xenograft CWR22 compared with the relapsed derivative CWR22R, suggesting that its expression may be deregulated during prostate cancer progression. Consistent with this notion, in situ analysis of human prostate cancer specimens indicated that STAMP1 is expressed exclusively in the epithelial cells of the prostate and its expression is significantly increased in prostate tumors compared with normal glands. Taken together, these data suggest that STAMP1 may have an important role in the normal prostate cell as well as in prostate cancer progression.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein B (gB) is a major virion component, essential for various steps of virus replication in cells, such as entry and maturation, and cell fusion. In addition, gB is a strong inducer of the immune response in humans and has been involved in neuropathogenesis. To analyze gB during infection, a recombinant HSV-1 was generated containing gB fused to the green fluorescent protein (GFP). The GFP-gB fusion protein was incorporated into fully infectious viral particles. In cells infected with the recombinant KGFP-gB, the spontaneous fluorescence emitted by the fusion protein was observed as early as 5 h post infection, and its transport through cell compartments was followed during an entire viral replication cycle. The results show that GFP can be inserted into an essential viral envelope component of HSV-1 such as gB while preserving the infectivity of the resulting recombinant. This virus allows the investigation of several events of the viral life cycle involving gB, and provides the basis for the development of new diagnostic assays.

Abstract
KIFC3, a microtubule (MT) minus end-directed kinesin superfamily protein, is expressed abundantly and is associated with the Golgi apparatus in adrenocortical cells. We report here that disruption of the kifC3 gene induced fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus when cholesterol was depleted. Analysis of the reassembly process of the Golgi apparatus revealed bidirectional movement of the Golgi fragments in both wild-type and kifC3-/- cells. However, we observed a markedly reduced inwardly directed motility of the Golgi fragments in cholesterol-depleted kifC3-/- cells compared with either cholesterol-depleted wild-type cells or cholesterol-replenished kifC3-/- cells. These results suggest that (a) under the cholesterol-depleted condition, reduced inwardly directed motility of the Golgi apparatus results in the observed Golgi scattering phenotype in kifC3-/- cells, and (b) cholesterol is necessary for the Golgi fragments to attain sufficient inwardly directed motility by MT minus end-directed motors other than KIFC3, such as dynein, in kifC3-/- cells. Furthermore, we showed that Golgi scattering was much more drastic in kifC3-/- cells than in wild-type cells to the exogenous dynamitin expression even in the presence of cholesterol. These results collectively demonstrate that KIFC3 plays a complementary role in Golgi positioning and integration with cytoplasmic dynein.

Abstract
Modern light microscopy has evolved to provide a variety of quantitative imaging techniques and also the capability to perturb structure-function relationships in living cells. The advances have been especially useful in the study of cell adhesion and migration. This review will focus on how such microscopy-based techniques can be useful in situ to study the molecular interactions and dynamics, to locally perturb actin-based structures and to measure the traction forces exerted by motile cells.

Abstract
Modern light microscopy has become a most powerful analytical tool for studying molecular processes in live cells. Recent advances in sample preparation, microscope design and image processing allow the generation of "multidimensional" data, simultaneously reporting the three-dimensional distribution and concentrations of several different molecules within cells and tissues at multiple time points with sub-micron spatial resolution and sub-second temporal resolution. Thus, molecular interactions and processes that were approached by biochemical analyses in vitro can now be directly monitored in live cells. Here, we address different aspects of multidimensional microscopy and, in particular, image quantification and the characterization of molecular dynamics, as applied to the study of cell adhesion.

Abstract
We examined the functional co-localization and continuity of glycosyltransferases and sugar nucleotide transporters in the Golgi of two Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines that synthesize different types of O-linked oligosaccharides. CHO cells normally synthesize primarily Sia2,3Galbeta1,3GalNAc- on glycoproteins. CHO cells transfected with core-2 GlcNAc transferase (Core 2) can synthesize glycoproteins containing branched O-linked oligosaccharides with poly-N-acetyllactosamines. CHO lines incubated with [(3)H]galactose and GalNAc-alpha-phenyl (GAP) as a primer, synthesize labeled glycoside products that faithfully resemble those found on the endogenous acceptors: CHO cells make Sia2,3[(3)H]Gal(beta)1,3GAP, while CHO Core2 cells synthesize GAPs with complex branched chains including poly-N-acetyllactosamines. To determine if isolated Golgi preparations make similar products, we prepared Golgi by established homogenization methods, documented their intactness, and added tracer UDP-[(3)H]Gal, unlabeled sugar nucleotides, and GAP. CHO Golgi preparations synthesized only Sia2,3[(3)H]Gal(beta)1,3GAP. CHO Core2, also made this product and a small amount of Core-2 GlcNAc transferase-dependent products. No endogenous glycoproteins were labeled. However, when either cell line was gently permeabilized with streptolysin-O or given hypo-osmotic shock, both GAP and endogenous acceptors were efficiently glycosylated within an intact functional Golgi lumen and remained there. Significantly, Golgi from CHO Core2 cells made mostly branched GAP products including some with poly-N-acetyllactosamines as complex as those made and secreted by living cells incubated with GAP. These results suggest that the lumen of the Golgi apparatus is functionally continuous or interconnected. Once glycosides diffuse into the Golgi lumen, they have access to all the sugar nucleotide transporters and glycosyltransferases used for complex GAP-based products without requiring metabolic energy or inter-vesicular transport. Glycosylation of artificial acceptors could be used to track the functional continuity or co-localization of multiple glycosyltransferases and transporters under conditions where Golgi morphology disintegrates and/or reappears.

Abstract
In order to examine connexin transport, assembly, and turnover in living cells, we tagged green fluorescent protein or its color variants to several members of the connexin family of proteins. When green fluorescent protein was tagged to the carboxyl terminal end of connexin43 (Cx43-GFP), the resulting fusion protein was transported and assembled into functional gap junctions. However, when GFP was tagged to the amino terminal end of Cx43 (GFP-Cx43), this chimera was biosynthesized, transported to the plasma membrane, but failed to form gap junction channels that could transfer Lucifer yellow. Single cells that expressed Cx43-GFP were capable of transporting this fusion protein to the cell surface in the absence of cell-cell contact. Imaging of Cx43-yellow (Y)FP (Cx43-YFP) was quite efficient; however, the low quantum yield Cx43-BFP and the requirement for ultraviolet excitation made this chimera less suitable for time-lapse imaging. Cx43-cyan C(FP) (Cx43-CFP) was more suitable for imaging than Cx43-blue (B)FP and could be effectively separated from Cx43-YFP. The versatility of tagging GFP to the carboxyl terminal end of other members of the connexin family was established when Cx32-GFP and Cx26-YFP were found to assemble into gap junctions capable of transferring Lucifer yellow. Finally, we are examining the effectiveness of using a new red fluorescent protein (DsRed) fused to connexins in combination with Cx-GFP to simultaneously examine the kinetics, transport and turnover of two connexins. Together, our studies suggest that tagging fluorescent proteins to the carboxyl terminal end of connexins is an effective and valuable approach for studying the life cycle and dynamics of connexins in living cells.

Abstract
Caveolins form interlocking networks on the cytoplasmic face of caveolae. The cytoplasmically directed N and C termini of caveolins are separated by a central hydrophobic segment, which is believed to form a hairpin within the membrane. Here, we report that the caveolin scaffolding domain (CSD, residues 82-101), and the C terminus (residues 135-178) of caveolin-1 are each sufficient to anchor green fluorescent protein (GFP) to membranes in vivo. We also show that the first 16 residues of the C terminus (i.e. residues 135-150) are necessary and sufficient to attach GFP to membranes. When fused to the caveolin-1 C terminus, GFP co-localizes with two trans-Golgi markers and is excluded from caveolae. In contrast, the CSD targets GFP to caveolae, albeit less efficiently than full-length caveolin-1. Thus, caveolin-1 contains at least two membrane attachment signals: the CSD, dictating caveolar localization, and the C terminus, driving trans-Golgi localization. Additionally, we find that caveolin-1 oligomer/oligomer interactions require the distal third of the caveolin-1 C terminus. Thus, the caveolin-1 C-terminal domain has two separate functions: (i) membrane attachment (proximal third) and (ii) protein/protein interactions (distal third).

Abstract
Vesicular membrane trafficking during acrosome biogenesis in bull and rhesus monkey spermatogenesis differs from the somatic cell paradigm as imaged dynamically using the Golgi apparatus probes beta-COP, giantin, Golgin-97, and Golgin-95/GM130. In particular, sorting and delivery of proteins seemed less precise during spermatogenesis. In early stages of spermiogenesis, many Golgi resident proteins and specific acrosomal markers were present in the acrosome. Trafficking in both round and elongating spermatids was similar to what has been described for somatic cells, as judged by the kinetics of Golgi protein incorporation into endoplasmic reticulum-like structures after brefeldin A treatment. These Golgi components were retrieved from the acrosome at later stages of differentiation and were completely devoid of immature spermatozoa. Our data suggest that active anterograde and retrograde vesicular transport trafficking pathways, involving both beta-COP- and clathrin-coated vesicles, are involved in retrieving Golgi proteins missorted to the acrosome and in controlling the growth and shape of this organelle.

Abstract
Sphingolipids constitute a sizeable fraction of the membrane lipids in all eukaryotes and are indispensable for eukaryotic life. First of all, the involvement of sphingolipids in organizing the lateral domain structure of membranes appears essential for processes like protein sorting and membrane signaling. In addition, recognition events between complex glycosphingolipids and glycoproteins are thought to be required for tissue differentiation in higher eukaryotes and for other specific cell interactions. Finally, upon certain stimuli like stress or receptor activation, sphingolipids give rise to a variety of second messengers with effects on cellular homeostasis. All sphingolipid actions are governed by their local concentration. The intricate control of their intracellular topology by the proteins responsible for their synthesis, hydrolysis and intracellular transport is the topic of this review.

Abstract
A cell's biochemistry is now known to be the biochemistry of molecular machines, that is, protein complexes that are assembled and dismantled in particular locations within the cell as needed. One important element in our understanding has been the ability to begin to see where proteins are in cells and what they are doing as they go about their business. Accordingly, there is now a strong impetus to discover new ways of looking at the workings of proteins in living cells. Although the use of fluorescent tags to track individual proteins in cells has a long history, the availability of laser-based confocal microscopes and the imaginative exploitation of the green fluorescent protein from jellyfish have provided new tools of great diversity and utility. It is now possible to watch a protein bind its substrate or its partners in real time and with submicron resolution within a single cell. The importance of processes of self-organisation represented by protein folding on the one hand and subcellular organelles on the other are well recognised. Self-organisation at the intermediate level of multimeric protein complexes is now open to inspection. BioEssays 22:180-187, 2000.

Abstract
To study the aggregation of cell-to-cell channels into gap junctions at individual cell-cell contacts, we transfected cells with an expression vector for a chimeric protein composed of the cell-to-cell channel protein connexin43 and a green fluorescent protein. The chimeric channel protein was visualized in the fluorescence microscope and was found to form gap junctions at the cell-cell contacts just like wild-type connexin43. Cells expressing the chimeric protein had functional cell-to-cell channels. Using timelapse videomicroscopy on live cells we observed individual gap junctions over long periods and recorded the time course of aggregation of the chimeric channel protein into gap junctions at newly formed cell-cell contacts. We found that individual small gap junctions were very dynamic, moving about or becoming assembled and disassembled in the course of minutes. Larger gap junctions were more stable than small punctate ones. In control condition, stable new gap junctions were not formed during observation times of 30 min or longer. But at elevated levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, the chimeric channel protein began aggregating at new junctions 5-10 minutes after cell-cell contact and continued to concentrate there for at least one hour. Also already established junctions grew in size. The fluorescent chimeric channel protein will be an excellent tool to investigate the regulation of trafficking of connexin from and to the membrane and the mechanism of connexin channel aggregation into gap junctions.

Abstract
Although membrane tubules can be found extending from, and associated with, the Golgi complex of eukaryotic cells, their physiological function has remained unclear. To gain insight into the biological significance of membrane tubules, we have developed methods for selectively preventing their formation. We show here that a broad range of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) antagonists not only arrest membrane tubule-mediated events that occur late in the assembly of the Golgi complex but also perturb its normal steady-state tubulovesicular architecture by inducing a reversible fragmentation into separate "mini-stacks." In addition, we show that these same compounds prevent the formation of membrane tubules from Golgi stacks in an in vitro reconstitution system. This in vitro assay was further used to demonstrate that the relevant PLA2 activity originates from the cytoplasm. Taken together, these results demonstrate that Golgi membrane tubules, sensitive to potent and selective PLA2 antagonists, mediate both late events in the reassembly of the Golgi complex and the dynamic maintenance of its steady-state architecture. In addition, they implicate a role for cytoplasmic PLA2 enzymes in mediating these membrane trafficking events.

Abstract
A well-characterized cell-free assay that reconstitutes Golgi transport is shown to require physically fragmented Golgi fractions for maximal activity. A Golgi fraction containing large, highly stacked flattened cisternae associated with coatomer-rich components was inactive in the intra-Golgi transport assay. In contrast, more fragmented hepatic Golgi fractions of lower purity were highly active in this assay. Control experiments ruled out defects in glycosylation, the presence of excess coatomer or inhibitory factors, as well as the lack or consumption of limiting diffusible factors as responsible for the lower activity of intact Golgi fractions. Neither Brefeldin A treatment, preincubation with KCl (that completely removed associated coatomer) or preincubation with imidazole buffers that caused unstacking, activated stacked fractions for transport. Only physical fragmentation promoted recovery of Golgi fractions active for transport in vitro. Rate-zonal centrifugation partially separated smaller transport-active Golgi fragments with a unique v-SNARE pattern, away from the bulk of Golgi-derived elements identified by their morphology and content of Golgi marker enzymes (N-acetyl glucosaminyl and galactosyl transferase activities). These fragments released during activation likely represent intra-Golgi continuities involved in maintaining the dynamic redistribution of resident enzymes during rapid anterograde transport of secretory cargo through the Golgi in vivo.

Abstract
Many stages of the herpes simplex virus maturation pathway have not yet been defined. In particular, little is known about the assembly of the virion tegument compartment and its subsequent incorporation into maturing virus particles. Here we describe the construction of a herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) recombinant in which we have replaced the gene encoding a major tegument protein, VP22, with a gene expressing a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-VP22 fusion protein (GFP-22). We show that this virus has growth properties identical to those of the parental virus and that newly synthesized GFP-22 is detectable in live cells as early as 3 h postinfection. Moreover, we show that GFP-22 is incorporated into the HSV-1 virion as efficiently as VP22, resulting in particles which are visible by fluorescence microscopy. Consequently, we have used time lapse confocal microscopy to monitor GFP-22 in live-cell infection, and we present time lapse animations of GFP-22 localization throughout the virus life cycle. These animations demonstrate that GFP-22 is present in a diffuse cytoplasmic location when it is initially expressed but evolves into particulate material which travels through an exclusively cytoplasmic pathway to the cell periphery. In this way, we have for the first time visualized the trafficking of a herpesvirus structural component within live, infected cells.

Abstract
Here we visualize new aspects of the dynamics of endocytotic clathrin-coated pits and vesicles in mammalian cells by using a fusion protein consisting of green fluorescent protein and clathrin light chain a. Clathrin-coated pits invaginating from the plasma membrane show definite, but highly limited, mobility within the membrane that is relaxed upon treatment with latrunculin B, an inhibitor of actin assembly, indicating that an actin-based framework may be involved in the mobility of these pits. Transient, motile coated vesicles that originate from coated pits can be detected, with multiple vesicles occasionally appearing to emanate from a single pit. Despite their seemingly random distribution, coated pits tend to form repeatedly at defined sites while excluding other regions. This spatial regulation of coated-pit assembly and function is attributable to the attachment of the coated pits to the membrane skeleton.

Abstract
Trafficking pathways underlying the assembly of connexins into gap junctions were examined using living COS-7 cells expressing a range of connexin-aequorin (Cx-Aeq) chimeras. By measuring the chemiluminescence of the aequorin fusion partner, the translocation of oligomerized connexins from intracellular stores to the plasma membrane was shown to occur at different rates that depended on the connexin isoform. Treatment of COS-7 cells expressing Cx32-Aeq and Cx43-Aeq with brefeldin A inhibited the movement of these chimera to the plasma membrane by 84 +/- 4 and 88 +/- 4%, respectively. Nocodazole treatment of the cells expressing Cx32-Aeq and Cx43-Aeq produced 29 +/- 16 and 4 +/- 7% inhibition, respectively. In contrast, the transport of Cx26 to the plasma membrane, studied using a construct (Cx26/43T-Aeq) in which the short cytoplasmic carboxyl-terminal tail of Cx26 was replaced with the extended carboxyl terminus of Cx43, was inhibited 89 +/- 5% by nocodazole and was minimally affected by exposure of cells to brefeldin A (17 +/-11%). The transfer of Lucifer yellow across gap junctions between cells expressing wild-type Cx32, Cx43, and the corresponding Cx32-Aeq and Cx43-Aeq chimeras was reduced by nocodazole treatment and abolished by brefeldin A treatment. However, the extent of dye coupling between cells expressing wild-type Cx26 or the Cx26/43T-Aeq chimeras was not significantly affected by brefeldin A treatment, but after nocodazole treatment, transfer of dye to neighboring cells was greatly reduced. These contrasting effects of brefeldin A and nocodazole on the trafficking properties and intercellular dye transfer are interpreted to suggest that two pathways contribute to the routing of connexins to the gap junction.
