Abstract
Although there is mounting evidence indicating that lipids serve crucial functions in cells and are implicated in a growing number of human diseases, their precise roles remain largely unknown. This is particularly true in the case of neurosecretion, where fusion with the plasma membrane of specific membrane organelles is essential. Yet, little attention has been given to the role of lipids. Recent groundbreaking research has emphasized the critical role of lipid localization at exocytotic sites and validated the essentiality of fusogenic lipids, such as phospholipase D (PLD)-generated phosphatidic acid (PA), during membrane fusion. Nevertheless, the regulatory mechanisms synchronizing the synthesis of these key lipids and neurosecretion remain poorly understood. The vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) has been involved both in vesicle neurotransmitter loading and in vesicle fusion. Thus, it represents an ideal candidate to regulate the fusogenic status of secretory vesicles according to their replenishment state. Indeed, the cytosolic V1 and vesicular membrane-associated V0 subdomains of V-ATPase were shown to dissociate during the stimulation of neurosecretory cells. This allows the subunits of the vesicular V0 to interact with different proteins of the secretory machinery. Here, we show that V0a1 interacts with the Arf nucleotide-binding site opener (ARNO) and promotes the activation of the Arf6 GTPase during the exocytosis in neuroendocrine cells. When the interaction between V0a1 and ARNO was disrupted, it resulted in the inhibition of PLD activation, synthesis of phosphatidic acid during exocytosis, and changes in the timing of fusion events. These findings indicate that the separation of V1 from V0 could function as a signal to initiate the ARNO-Arf6-PLD1 pathway and facilitate the production of phosphatidic acid, which is essential for effective exocytosis in neuroendocrine cells.

Abstract
TRIM (tripartite motif) proteins have been demonstrated to exert critical roles in host defense against different microbial pathogens. Among them, TRIM23 acts as an important regulatory factor in antiviral immune and inflammatory responses, but the roles of fish TRIM23 against virus infection still remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the characteristics of TRIM23 homolog from orange spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) (EcTRIM23). EcTRIM23 encoded a 580 amino acid peptide, which shared 93.1%, 89.73% and 86.36% identity with golden perch (Perca flavescens), zebrafish (Danio rerio) and human (Homo sapiens), respectively. The transcription levels of EcTRIM23 were significantly up-regulated in response to Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) and red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) infection. EcTRIM23 overexpression in vitro significantly inhibited RGNNV and SGIV replication, evidenced by the delayed cytopathic effect (CPE) progression and the decreased expression of viral core genes. EcTRIM23 significantly increased the expression levels of interferon (IFN) related signaling molecules and pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as the promoter activities of IFN and NF-κB, suggesting that EcTRIM23 exerted antiviral function by positively regulating host IFN response. Exogenous EcTRIM23 exhibited either diffuse or aggregated localization in grouper cells. After co-transfection, TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1), TNF receptor associated factor (TRAF) 3 and TRAF4, TRAF5 and TRAF6 were found to interact with EcTRIM23 in grouper cells. Moreover, these proteins could be recruited and co-localized with EcTRIM23 in vitro. Together, our results demonstrated that fish TRIM23 exerted antiviral activity against fish viruses by interacting with multiple host proteins to regulate immune responses.

Molecular evolution and expression analysis of ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) from longan embryogenic callus. Gene 2021; 777:145461.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation modification considered as a model to study histone post-translational modification in chromatin modification. Despite it was reported in many plants, the study of ARFs gene family in longan was still unclear. In this study, 14 longan ARFs genes were identified using the longan genome (the third-generation genome) and further divided into two major groups, including the DlARF in the I-II group and the ARF-like (DlARL) in the III-V group, according to their structure and evolutionary characteristics. Whole-genome duplication (WGD) and segmental duplication events played a major role in the expansion of the DlARFs gene family, the synteny and phylogenetic analyses provided a deeper insight into the evolutionary characteristics of the DlARFs. Protein-protein interactions suggested that some DlARFs proteins may interact to participate in biological processes. Promoter analysis showed more stress response elements in DlARF5, DlGB1, DlARL1, DlARL2, and DlARL8a, suggesting that they may participate in abiotic stress. Expression profiles of DlARFs by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) showed that they were abundant accumulation during early somatic embryogenesis (SE). Expression pattern analysis of RNA-seq and qRT-PCR revealed that some ARFs members regulated early SE, and respond to exogenous hormones and abiotic stress such as abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellin A3 (GA3), salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), cold, and heat. Our study provides new insights for further research on the potential function of DlARFs, which may be useful for the improvement of longan.

Abstract
Phosphatidic acid (PA) produced by phospholipase D1 has been shown to contribute to secretory vesicle exocytosis in a large number of cell models. Among various hypotheses, PA may contribute to recruit and/or activate at the exocytotic site a set of proteins from the molecular machinery dedicated to secretion, but also directly influence membrane curvature thereby favoring membrane rearrangements required for membrane fusion. The release of informative molecules by regulated exocytosis is a tightly controlled process. It is thus expected that PA produced to trigger membrane fusion should be rapidly metabolized and converted in a lipid that does not present similar characteristics. PA-phosphatases of the lipin family are possible candidates as they convert PA into diacylglycerol. We show here that lipin 1 and lipin 2 are expressed in neuroendocrine cells where they are cytosolic, but also partially associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. Silencing of lipin 1 or 2 did not affect significantly either basal or evoked secretion from PC12 cells, suggesting that it is unlikely that conversion of PA into a secondary lipid by lipins might represent a regulatory step in exocytosis in neurosecretory cells. However, in agreement with a model in which PA-metabolism could contribute to prevent entering into exocytosis of additional secretory vesicles, ectopic expression of lipin1B-GFP in bovine chromaffin cells reduced the number of exocytotic events as revealed by carbon fiber amperometry recording. Furthermore, individual spike parameters reflecting fusion pore dynamics were also modified by lipin1B-GFP, suggesting that a tight control of PA levels represents an important regulatory step of the number and kinetic of exocytotic events.

Abstract
The Us11 protein encoded by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) functions to impair autophagy; however, the molecular mechanisms of this inhibition remain to be fully established. Here, we report that the Us11 protein targets tripartite motif protein 23 (TRIM23), which is a key regulator of autophagy-mediated antiviral defense mediated by TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1). In virus-infected cells, the Us11 protein drastically reduces the formation of autophagosomes mediated by TRIM23 or TBK1. This autophagy-inhibitory effect is attributable to the binding of the Us11 protein to the ARF domain in TRIM23. Furthermore, such interaction spatially excludes TBK1 from the TRIM23 complex that also contains heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). When stably expressed alone in host cells, the Us11 protein recapitulates the observed phenotypes seen in cells infected with the US11-expressing or wild-type virus. Consistent with this, expression of the Us11 protein promotes HSV-1 growth, while expression of TRIM23 restricts HSV-1 replication in the absence of US11. Together, these results suggest that disruption of the TRIM23-TBK1 complex by the Us11 protein inhibits autophagy-mediated restriction of HSV-1 infection.IMPORTANCE Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that restricts certain intracellular pathogens, including HSV-1. Although HSV-1 is well known to inhibit autophagy, little is known about the precise molecular mechanisms of autophagy inhibition. We demonstrate that the Us11 protein of HSV-1 spatially disrupts the TRIM23-TBK1 complex, which subsequently suppresses autophagy and autophagy-mediated virus restriction. Thus, expression of the Us11 protein facilitates HSV-1 replication. These data unveil new insight into viral escape from autophagy-mediated host restriction mechanisms.

Abstract
Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins are a versatile family of ubiquitin E3 ligases involved in a multitude of cellular processes. Studies in recent years have demonstrated that many TRIM proteins play central roles in the host defense against viral infection. While some TRIM proteins directly antagonize distinct steps in the viral life cycle, others regulate signal transduction pathways induced by innate immune sensors, thereby modulating antiviral cytokine responses. Furthermore, TRIM proteins have been implicated in virus-induced autophagy and autophagy-mediated viral clearance. Given the important role of TRIM proteins in antiviral restriction, it is not surprising that several viruses have evolved effective maneuvers to neutralize the antiviral action of specific TRIM proteins. Here, we describe the major antiviral mechanisms of TRIM proteins as well as viral strategies to escape TRIM-mediated host immunity.

Abstract
Autophagy and interferon (IFN)-mediated innate immunity are critical antiviral defence mechanisms, and recent evidence indicated that tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins are important regulators of both processes. Although the role of TRIM proteins in modulating antiviral cytokine responses has been well established, much less is known about their involvement in autophagy in response to different viral pathogens. Through a targeted RNAi screen examining the relevance of selected TRIM proteins in autophagy induced by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) and influenza A virus (IAV), we identified several TRIM proteins that regulate autophagy in a virus-species-specific manner, as well as a few TRIM proteins that were essential for autophagy triggered by all three viruses and rapamycin, among them TRIM23. TRIM23 was critical for autophagy-mediated restriction of multiple viruses, and this activity was dependent on both its RING E3 ligase and ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) GTPase activity. Mechanistic studies revealed that unconventional K27-linked auto-ubiquitination of the ARF domain is essential for the GTP hydrolysis activity of TRIM23 and activation of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) by facilitating its dimerization and ability to phosphorylate the selective autophagy receptor p62. Our work identifies the TRIM23-TBK1-p62 axis as a key component of selective autophagy and further reveals a role for K27-linked ubiquitination in GTPase-dependent TBK1 activation.

Abstract
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is the simplest phospholipid naturally existing in living organisms, but it constitutes only a minor fraction of total cell lipids. PA has attracted considerable attention because it is a phospholipid precursor, a lipid second messenger, and a modulator of membrane shape, and it has thus been proposed to play key cellular functions. The dynamics of PA in cells and in subcellular compartments, however, remains an open question. The recent generation of fluorescent probes for PA, by fusing GFP to PA-binding domains, has provided direct evidence for PA dynamics in different intracellular compartments. Here, three PA sensors were characterized in vitro, and their preferences for different PA species in particular lipidic environments were compared. In addition, the localization of PA in macrophages during frustrated phagocytosis was examined using these PA sensors and was combined with a lipidomic analysis of PA in intracellular compartments. The results indicate that the PA sensors display some preferences for specific PA species, depending on the lipid environment, and the localization study in macrophages revealed the complexity of intracellular PA dynamics.

Abstract
Annexin A2, a calcium-, actin-, and lipid-binding protein involved in exocytosis, mediates the formation of lipid microdomains required for the structural and spatial organization of fusion sites at the plasma membrane. To understand how annexin A2 promotes this membrane remodeling, the involvement of cortical actin filaments in lipid domain organization was investigated. 3D electron tomography showed that cortical actin bundled by annexin A2 connected docked secretory granules to the plasma membrane and contributed to the formation of GM1-enriched lipid microdomains at the exocytotic sites in chromaffin cells. When an annexin A2 mutant with impaired actin filament-bundling activity was expressed, the formation of plasma membrane lipid microdomains and the number of exocytotic events were decreased and the fusion kinetics were slower, whereas the pharmacological activation of the intrinsic actin-bundling activity of endogenous annexin A2 had the opposite effects. Thus, annexin A2-induced actin bundling is apparently essential for generating active exocytotic sites.

Abstract
The TRIM family comprises proteins characterized by the presence of thetripartite motifthat is composed of a RING domain, one or two B-box domains and a Coiled-coil region. These proteins are implicated in a plethora of cellular processes such as apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, muscular physiology and innate immune response. Consistently, their alteration results in several pathological conditions emphasizing their medical relevance. The TRIM members domain structure underscores a common biochemical function as E3 ligases within the ubiquitylation cascade, which is then translated into diverse biological processes. The TRIM proteins represent one of the largest families in mammals counting in human almost 70 members. TRIM proteins are metazoan-specific and have been now identified in several species although the great increase in their number was generated in vertebrate species. The important expansion of the number of TRIM genes underlie the success of the tripartite module in ubiquitylation process. Furthermore, their massive diversification among species was achieved through fast evolution of the TRIM genes implicated in pathogen response.

Abstract
In addition to forming bilayers to separate cellular compartments, lipids participate in vesicular trafficking and signal transduction. Among others, phosphatidic acid (PA) is emerging as an important signaling molecule. The spatiotemporal distribution of cellular PA appears to be tightly regulated by localized synthesis and a rapid metabolism. Although PA has been long proposed as a pleiotropic bioactive lipid, when and where PA is produced in the living cells have only recently been explored using biosensors that specifically bind to PA. The probes that we have generated are composed of the PA-binding domains of either Spo20p or Raf1 directly fused to GFP. In this chapter, we will describe the expression and purification of GST-fusion proteins of these probes, and the use of phospholipid strips to validate the specificity of their interaction with PA. We will then illustrate the use of GFP-tagged probes to visualize the synthesis of PA in the neurosecretory PC12 cells and RAW 267.4 macrophages. Interestingly, the two probes show a differential distribution in these cell types, indicating that they may have different affinities for PA or recognize different pools of PA. In conclusion, the development of a broader choice of probes may be required to adequately follow the complex dynamics of PA in different cell types, in order to determine the cellular distribution of PA and its role in various cellular processes.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factor domain protein 1 (ARD1) is a 64-kDa protein containing a functional ADP-ribosylation factor (GTP hydrolase, GTPase), GTPase-activating protein, and E3 ubiquitin ligase domains. ARD1 activation by the guanine nucleotide-exchange factor cytohesin-1 was known. GTPase and E3 ligase activities of ARD1 suggest roles in protein transport and turnover. To explore this hypothesis, we used mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) from ARD1-/- mice stably transfected with plasmids for inducible expression of wild-type ARD1 protein (KO-WT), or ARD1 protein with inactivating mutations in E3 ligase domain (KO-E3), or containing persistently active GTP-bound (KO-GTP), or inactive GDP-bound (KO-GDP) GTPase domains. Inhibition of proteasomal proteases in mifepristone-induced KO-WT, KO-GDP, or KO-GTP MEFs resulted in accumulation of these ARD1 proteins, whereas KO-E3 accumulated without inhibitors. All data were consistent with the conclusion that ARD1 regulates its own steady-state levels in cells by autoubiquitination. Based on reported growth factor receptor-cytohesin interactions, EGF receptor (EGFR) was investigated in induced MEFs. Amounts of cell-surface and total EGFR were higher in KO-GDP and lower in KO-GTP than in KO-WT MEFs, with levels in both mutants greater (p = 0.001) after proteasomal inhibition. Significant differences among MEF lines in content of TGF-β receptor III were similar to those in EGFR, albeit not as large. Differences in amounts of insulin receptor mirrored those in EGFR, but did not reach statistical significance. Overall, the capacity of ARD1 GTPase to cycle between active and inactive forms and its autoubiquitination both appear to be necessary for the appropriate turnover of EGFR and perhaps additional growth factor receptors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The TRIM family is composed of multi-domain proteins that display the Tripartite Motif (RING, B-box and Coiled-coil) that can be associated with a C-terminal domain. TRIM genes are involved in ubiquitylation and are implicated in a variety of human pathologies, from Mendelian inherited disorders to cancer, and are also involved in cellular response to viral infection. RESULTS Here we defined the entire human TRIM family and also identified the TRIM sets of other vertebrate (mouse, rat, dog, cow, chicken, tetraodon, and zebrafish) and invertebrate species (fruitfly, worm, and ciona). By means of comparative analyses we found that, after assembly of the tripartite motif in an early metazoan ancestor, few types of C-terminal domains have been associated with this module during evolution and that an important increase in TRIM number occurred in vertebrate species concomitantly with the addition of the SPRY domain. We showed that the human TRIM family is split into two groups that differ in domain structure, genomic organization and evolutionary properties. Group 1 members present a variety of C-terminal domains, are highly conserved among vertebrate species, and are represented in invertebrates. Conversely, group 2 is absent in invertebrates, is characterized by the presence of a C-terminal SPRY domain and presents unique sets of genes in each mammal examined. The generation of independent sets of group 2 genes is also evident in the other vertebrate species. Comparing the murine and human TRIM sets, we found that group 1 and 2 genes evolve at different speeds and are subject to different selective pressures. CONCLUSION We found that the TRIM family is composed of two groups of genes with distinct evolutionary properties. Group 2 is younger, highly dynamic, and might act as a reservoir to develop novel TRIM functions. Since some group 2 genes are implicated in innate immune response, their evolutionary features may account for species-specific battles against viral infection.

Abstract
Exocytosis of neurotransmitters and hormones occurs through the fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane. This highly regulated process involves key proteins, such as SNAREs, and specific lipids at the site of membrane fusion. Phospholipase D (PLD) has recently emerged as a promoter of membrane fusion in various exocytotic events potentially by providing fusogenic cone-shaped phosphatidic acid. We show here that PLD1 is regulated by ribosomal S6 kinase 2 (RSK2)-dependent phosphorylation. RSK2 is activated by a high K(+)-induced rise in cytosolic calcium. Expression of inactive RSK2 mutants or selective knockdown of endogenous RSK2 dramatically affects the different kinetic components of the exocytotic response in chromaffin cells. RSK2 physically interacts with and stimulates PLD activity through the phosphorylation of Thr-147 in the PLD1 amino-terminal phox homology domain. Expression of PLD1 phosphomimetic mutants fully restores secretion in cells depleted of RSK2, suggesting that RSK2 is a critical upstream signaling element in the activation of PLD1 to produce the lipids required for exocytosis. We propose that PLD-related defects in neuronal and endocrine activities could contribute to the effect observed after the loss-of-function mutations in Rsk2 that lead to Coffin-Lowry syndrome, an X-linked form of growth and mental retardation.

Abstract
The Ras superfamily is comprised of at least four large families of regulatory guanosine triphosphate-binding proteins, including the Arfs. The Arf family includes three different groups of proteins: the Arfs, Arf-like (Arls), and SARs. Several Arf family members have been very highly conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution and have orthologues in evolutionally diverse species. The different means by which Arf family members have been identified have resulted in an inconsistent and confusing array of names. This confusion is further compounded by differences in nomenclature between different species. We propose a more consistent nomenclature for the human members of the Arf family that may also serve as a guide for nomenclature in other species.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3)-kinase enhancer (PIKE) is a nuclear GTPase that enhances PI3-kinase activity in a GTP-dependent manner. Both PIKE-L and -A isoforms contain GTPase, pleckstrin homology (PH), ADP ribosylation factor-GTPase-activating protein, and two ankyrin repeats domains, and C-terminal ADP ribosylation factor-GTPase-activating protein activates its internal GTPase activity. However, whether PH domain modulates the intramolecular action and subsequently influences its downstream signalings remains elusive. Here we show that PH domain from PIKE-L robustly binds PI(3,4,5)P(3) and exclusively resides in the nucleus. By contrast, the mutant (K679,687N), unable to bind phosphoinositol lipids, translocates to the cytoplasm. This mutation substantially compromises the stimulatory effects on PI3-kinase by PIKE-L. Surprisingly, PH domain from PIKE-A distributes in the cytoplasm. Similar mutation in PH domain of PIKE-A abolishes its binding to PI(3,4,5)P(3) and significantly decreases its activation of Akt. Moreover, amplified PIKE-A from human cancers contains mutations and highly stimulates Akt kinase activity, correlating with its GTPase activity. Thus, phosphatidylinositols regulate PIKE GTPase activity, mediating its downstream PI3-kinase/Akt signaling through a feedback mechanism by binding to its PH domain.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) and Arf-like (Arl) proteins are a family of highly conserved 21 kDa GTPases that emerged early in the evolution of eukaryotes. These proteins serve regulatory roles in vesicular traffic, lipid metabolism, microtubule dynamics, development, and likely other cellular processes. We found evidence for the presence of 6 Arf family members in the protist Giardia lamblia and 22 members in mammals. A phylogenetic analysis was performed to delineate the evolutionary relationships among Arf family members and to attempt to organize them by both their evolutionary origins and functions in cells and/or organisms. The approximately 100 protein sequences analyzed from animals, fungi, plants, and protists clustered into 11 groups, including Arfs, nine Arls, and Sar proteins. To begin functional analyses of the family in a metazoan model organism, we examined roles for all three C. elegans Arfs (Arf-1, Arf-3, and Arf-6) and three Arls (Arl-1, Arl-2, and Arl-3) by use of RNA-mediated interference (RNAi). Injection of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) encoding Arf-1 or Arf-3 into N2 hermaphrodites produced embryonic lethality in their offspring and, later, sterility in the injected animals themselves. Injection of Arl-2 dsRNA resulted in a disorganized germline and sterility in early offspring, with later offspring exhibiting an early embryonic arrest. Thus, of the six Arf family members examined in C. elegans, at least three are required for embryogenesis. These data represent the first analysis of the role(s) of multiple members of this family in the development of a multicellular organism.

Abstract
We have identified and characterised a cluster of six TRIM-B30.2 genes flanking the chicken BF/BL region of the B complex. The TRIM-B30.2 proteins are a subgroup of the TRIM protein family containing the tripartite motif (TRIM), consisting of a RING domain, a B-box and a coiled coil region, and a B30.2-like domain. In humans, a cluster of seven TRIM-B30.2 genes has been characterised within the MHC on Chromosome 6p21.33. Among the six chicken TRIM-B30.2 genes two are orthologous to those of the human MHC, and two (TRIM41 and TRIM7) are orthologous to human genes located on Chromosome 5. In humans, these last two genes are adjacent to GNB2L1, a guanine nucleotide-binding protein gene, the ortholog of the chicken c12.3 gene situated in the vicinity of the TRIM-B30.2 genes. This suggests that breakpoints specific to mammals have occurred and led to the remodelling of their MHC structure. In terms of structure, like their mammalian counterparts, each chicken gene consists of five coding exons; exon 1 encodes the RING domain and the B-box, exons 2, 3 and 4 form the coiled-coil region, and the last exon represents the B30.2-like domain. Phylogenetic analysis led us to assume that this extended BF/BL region may be similar to the human extended class I region, because it contains a cluster of BG genes sharing an Ig-V like domain with the BTN genes (Henry et al. 1997a) and six TRIM-B30.2 genes containing the B30.2-like domain, shared with the TRIM-B30.2 members and the BTN genes.

Abstract
Protein ubiquitinylation plays a key role in many important cellular processes. Ubiquitinylation requires the E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme, an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, and, frequently, a substrate-specific E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. In one class of E3 ubiquitin ligases, the catalytic domain contains a zinc-binding RING finger motif. ARD1 (ADP-ribosylation factor domain protein 1), with a RING finger domain in the N-terminal region, two predicted B-Boxes, and a coiled-coil protein interaction motif immediately preceding an ADP-ribosylation factor domain at the C terminus, belongs to the TRIM (Tripartite motif) or RBCC (RING, B-Box, coiled-coil) family. The region containing the B-Boxes and the coiled-coil motif acts as a GTPase-activating protein for the ADP-ribosylation factor domain of ARD1. We report here that full-length ARD1 or the RING finger domain (residues 1-110) produced polyubiquitinylated proteins in vitro in the presence of mammalian E1, an E2 enzyme (UbcH6 or UbcH5a, -5b, or -5c), ATP, and ubiquitin. Deletion of the RING region or point mutations within the RING sequence abolished ARD1 E3 ligase activity. All data are consistent with a potential function for ARD1 as an E3 ubiquitin ligase in cells.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factor domain protein 1 (ARD1) is a multifunctional protein that belongs to the family of 20-kDa ARF proteins. The ARD1 gene encodes a 64-kDa protein with a structure comprising an 18-kDa ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) domain at the C-terminus (amino acids 403-574), and a 46-kDa N-terminal domain (amino acids 1-402) that contains, from the translation start site, a RING finger domain, two predicted B-Boxes, and a coiled-coil protein interaction motif, which places it among the TRIM (tripartite motif) or RBCC (RING, B-Box, coiled-coil) protein families. Recombinant ARD1 (amino acids 1-574) or its RING finger domain (amino acids 1-110) produced polyubiquitylated proteins when incubated in vitro with a mammalian E1, an E2 enzyme (UbcH6 or UbcH5a, -5b, or -5c), ATP, and ubiquitin. Via its C-terminal ARF domain, recombinant ARD1 binds guanine nucleotides, through which it can enhance, in a GTP-dependent manner, cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Unlike ARFs, ARD1, but not its ARF domain, exhibits significant GTPase activity. Hydrolysis of GTP bound to the C-terminal ARF domain was stimulated by addition of the 46-kDa N-terminal domain (amino acids 1-402) via its GTPase activating protein (GAP) activity. The rate of GDP dissociation from the C-terminal ARF domain in ARD1, is slowed by the adjacent 15 amino acids, which act as a GDP-dissociation inhibitor (GDI) domain. Cytohesin-1, known already as a guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) ARF activator, also specifically activated recombinant human ARD1, via activation of the ARF domain. Overexpressed ARD1 fusion proteins were associated with structures resembling lysosomes and Golgi membranes, as well as the nucleus, in different types of cells, and sequences potentially responsible for the intracellular localizations were identified.

Abstract
Mammalian cytohesins are a family of very similar guanine nucleotide-exchange proteins (GEPs) that activate ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs). Cytohesins are multifunctional molecules comprising a Sec7 domain that is responsible for the GEP activity, a PH domain that binds specific phosphatidylinositol phosphates, and a coiled-coil domain responsible for homodimerization and interaction with other proteins. Cytohesin proteins are ubiquitous and have been implicated in several functions including cell spreading and adhesion, chemotaxis, protein trafficking, and cytoskeletal rearrangements, only some of which appear to depend on their ability to activate ARFs. Unlike the GEP activity of BIG1 and BIG2, the acceleration by cytohesins of guanine nucleotide exchange to generate active ARF-GTP is not inhibited by the fungal metabolite brefeldin, A (BFA). This chapter is concerned for the most part with cytohesin-1 and the assay of its GEP activity.

Abstract
G proteins are molecular switches that control a wide variety of physiological functions, including neurotransmission, transcriptional activation, cell migration, cell growth. and proliferation. The ability of GTPases to participate in signaling events is determined by the ratio of GTP-bound to GDP-bound forms in the cell. All known GTPases exist in an inactive (GDP-bound) and an active (GTP-bound) conformation, which are catalyzed by guanine nucleotide exchange factors and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), respectively. In this study, we identified and characterized a new family of bifunctional GTP-binding and GTPase-activating proteins, named GGAP. GGAPs contain an N-terminal Ras homology domain, called the G domain, followed by a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a C-terminal GAP domain, and a tandem ankyrin (ANK) repeat domain. Expression analysis indicates that this new family of proteins has distinct cell localization, tissue distribution, and even message sizes. GTPase assays demonstrate that GGAPs have high GTPase activity through direct intramolecular interaction of the N-terminal G domain and the C-terminal GAP domain. In the absence of the GAP domain, the N-terminal G domain has very low activity, suggesting a new model of GGAP protein regulation via intramolecular interaction like the multidomain protein kinases. Overexpression of GGAPs leads to changes in cell morphology and activation of gene transcription.

Abstract
Typical members of the Ras superfamily of small monomeric GTP-binding proteins function as regulators of diverse processes by cycling between biologically active GTP- and inactive GDP-bound conformations. Proteins that control this cycling include guanine nucleotide exchange factors or GEFs, which activate Ras superfamily members by catalyzing GTP for GDP exchange, and GTPase activating proteins or GAPs, which accelerate the low intrinsic GTP hydrolysis rate of typical Ras superfamily members, thus causing their inactivation. Two among the latter class of proteins have been implicated in common genetic disorders associated with an increased cancer risk, neurofibromatosis-1, and tuberous sclerosis. To facilitate genetic analysis, I surveyed Drosophila and human sequence databases for genes predicting proteins related to GAPs for Ras superfamily members. Remarkably, close to 0.5% of genes in both species (173 human and 64 Drosophila genes) predict proteins related to GAPs for Arf, Rab, Ran, Rap, Ras, Rho, and Sar family GTPases. Information on these genes has been entered into a pair of relational databases, which can be used to identify evolutionary conserved proteins that are likely to serve basic biological functions, and which can be updated when definitive information on the coding potential of both genomes becomes available.

Abstract
PML is a component of a multiprotein complex, termed nuclear bodies, and the PML protein was originally discovered in patients suffering from acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL). APL is associated with a reciprocal chromosomal translocation of chromosomes 15 and 17, which results in a fusion protein comprising PML and the retinoic acid receptor alpha. The PML genomic locus is approximately 35 kb and is subdivided into nine exons. A large number of alternative spliced transcripts are synthesized from the PML gene, resulting in a variety of PML proteins ranging in molecular weight from 48-97 kDa. In this review we summarize the data on the known PML isoforms and splice variants and present a new unifying nomenclature. Although, the function/s of the PML variants are unclear, all PML isoforms contain an identical N-terminal region, suggesting that these sequences are indispensable for function, but differ in their C-terminal sequences. The N-terminal region harbours a RING-finger, two B-boxes and a predicted alpha-helical Coiled-Coil domain, that together form the RBCC/TRIM motif found in a large family of proteins. In PML this motif is essential for PML nuclear body formation in vivo and PML-homo and hetero interactions conferring growth suppressor, apoptotic and anti-viral activities. In APL oligomerization mediated by the RBCC/TRIM motif is essential for the transformation potential of the PML-RARalpha fusion protein.

Abstract
A functional genomic approach, based on systematic data gathering, was used to characterize a family of proteins containing a tripartite motif (TRIM). A total of 37 TRIM genes/proteins were studied, 21 of which were novel. The results demonstrate that TRIM proteins share a common function: by means of homo-multimerization they identify specific cell compartments.

Abstract
Small GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) exist in eukaryotes from yeast to human and constitute a superfamily consisting of more than 100 members. This superfamily is structurally classified into at least five families: the Ras, Rho, Rab, Sar1/Arf, and Ran families. They regulate a wide variety of cell functions as biological timers (biotimers) that initiate and terminate specific cell functions and determine the periods of time for the continuation of the specific cell functions. They furthermore play key roles in not only temporal but also spatial determination of specific cell functions. The Ras family regulates gene expression, the Rho family regulates cytoskeletal reorganization and gene expression, the Rab and Sar1/Arf families regulate vesicle trafficking, and the Ran family regulates nucleocytoplasmic transport and microtubule organization. Many upstream regulators and downstream effectors of small G proteins have been isolated, and their modes of activation and action have gradually been elucidated. Cascades and cross-talks of small G proteins have also been clarified. In this review, functions of small G proteins and their modes of activation and action are described.

Abstract
Adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation factor (Arf) proteins are members of the Arf arm of the Ras superfamily of guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins. Arfs are named for their activity as cofactors for cholera toxin-catalyzed adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation of the heterotrimeric G protein Gs. Physiologically, Arfs regulate membrane traffic and the actin cytoskeleton. Arfs function both constitutively within the secretory pathway and as targets of signal transduction in the cell periphery. In each case, the controlled binding and hydrolysis of GTP is critical to Arf function. The activities of some guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase)-activating proteins (GAPs) are stimulated by phosphoinositides, including phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), and phosphatidic acid (PA), likely providing both a means to respond to regulatory signals and a mechanism to coordinate GTP binding and hydrolysis. Arfs affect membrane traffic in part by recruiting coat proteins, including COPI and clathrin adaptor complexes, to membranes. However, Arf function likely involves many additional biochemical activities. Arf activates phospholipase D and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase with the consequent production of PA and PIP2, respectively. In addition to mediating Arf's effects on membrane traffic and the actin cytoskeleton, PA and PIP2 are involved in the regulation of Arf. Arf also works with Rho family proteins to affect the actin cytoskeleton. Several Arf-binding proteins suspected to be effectors have been identified in two-hybrid screens. Arf-dependent biochemical activities, actin cytoskeleton changes, and membrane trafficking may be integrally related. Understanding Arf's role in complex cellular functions such as protein secretion or cell movement will involve a description of the temporal and spatial coordination of these multiple Arf-dependent events.

Abstract
ADP ribosylation factors (ARFs) are approximately 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that activate cholera toxin and phospholipase D and are critical components of vesicular trafficking pathways. ARF domain protein 1 (ARD1), a member of the ARF superfamily, contains a 46-kDa amino-terminal extension, which acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) with activity towards its ARF domain. When overexpressed, ARD1 was associated with lysosomes and the Golgi apparatus. In agreement with this finding, lysosomal and Golgi membranes isolated from human liver by immunoaffinity contained native ARD1. ARD1, expressed as a green fluorescent fusion protein, was initially associated with the Golgi network and subsequently appeared on lysosomes, suggesting that ARD1 might undergo vectorial transport between the two organelles. Here we show by microscopic colocalization that GAP and ARF domains determine lysosomal and Golgi localization, respectively, consistent with the presence of more than one signal motif. Using truncated ARD1 molecules, expressed as green fluorescent fusion proteins, it was found that the signal for lysosomal localization was present in residues 301 to 402 of the GAP domain. Site-specific mutagenesis demonstrated that the sequence (369)KXXXQ(373) in the GAP domain was responsible for lysosomal localization. Association of ARD1 with the Golgi apparatus required tyrosine-based motifs. A green fluorescent fusion protein containing the QKQQQQF motif was partially associated with lysosomes, suggesting that this motif contains the information sufficient for lysosomal targeting. These results suggest that ARD1 is a multidomain protein with ARF and GAP regions, which contain Golgi and lysosomal localization signals, respectively, that could function in vesicular trafficking.

Abstract
Activation of ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) is mediated by guanine nucleotide-exchange proteins, which accelerate conversion of inactive ARF-GDP to active ARF-GTP. ARF domain protein (ARD1), a 64-kDa GTPase with a C-terminal ADP-ribosylation factor domain, is localized to lysosomes and the Golgi apparatus. When ARD1 was used as bait to screen a human liver cDNA library using the yeast two-hybrid system, a cDNA for cytohesin-1, a approximately 50-kDa protein with ARF guanine nucleotide-exchange protein activity, was isolated. In this system, ARD1-GDP interacted well with cytohesin-1 but very poorly with cytohesin-2. In agreement, cytohesin-1, but not cytohesin-2, markedly accelerated [(35)S]guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate binding to ARD1. The effector region of the ARF domain of ARD1 appeared to be critical for the specific interaction with cytohesin-1. Replacement of single amino acids in the Sec7 domains of cytohesin-1 and -2 showed that residue 30 is critical for specificity. In transfected COS-7 cells, overexpressed ARD1 and cytohesin-1 were partially colocalized, as determined by confocal fluorescence microscopy. It was concluded that cytohesin-1 is likely to be involved in ARD1 activation, consistent with a role for ARD1 in the regulation of vesicular trafficking.

Abstract
Regulated exocytosis, which occurs in response to stimuli, is a two-step process involving the docking of secretory granules (SGs) at specific sites on the plasma membrane (PM), with subsequent fusion and release of granule contents. This process plays a crucial role in a number of tissues, including exocrine glands, chromaffin cells, platelets, and mast cells. Over the years, our understanding of the proteins involved in vesicular trafficking has increased dramatically. Evidence from genetic, biochemical, immunological, and functional assays supports a role for ras-like monomeric GTP-binding proteins (smgs) as well as heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein (G-protein) subunits in various steps of the vesicular trafficking pathway, including the transport of secretory vesicles to the PM. Data suggest that the function of GTP-binding proteins is likely related to their localization to specific cellular compartments. The presence of both G-proteins and smgs on secretory vesicles/granules implicates a role for these proteins in the final stages of exocytosis. Molecular mechanisms of exocytosis have been postulated, with the identification of a number of proteins that modify, regulate, and interact with GTP-binding proteins, and with the advent of approaches that assess the functional importance of GTP-binding proteins in downstream, exocytotic events. Further, insight into vesicle targeting and fusion has come from the characterization of a SNAP receptor (SNARE) complex composed of vesicle, PM, and soluble membrane trafficking components, and identification of a functional linkage between GTP-binding and SNARES.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that require specific guanine nucleotide-exchange proteins (GEPs) to accelerate the conversion of inactive ARF-GDP to active ARF-GTP. Cytohesin-1, a 46-kDa ARF GEP, contains a central Sec7 domain of 188 amino acids similar in sequence to a region of the yeast Sec7 protein. Cytohesin-1 and its 22-kDa Sec7 domain (C-1 Sec7), synthesized in Escherichia coli, were assayed with recombinant non-myristoylated ARFs and related proteins to compare their GEP activities. Both were effective with native mammalian ARFs 1 and 3. Cytohesin-1 accelerated GTPgammaS (guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate) binding to recombinant human ARF1 (rARF1), yeast ARF3, and ARD1 (a 64-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding protein containing a C-terminal ARF domain). In contrast, C-1 Sec7 enhanced GTPgammaS binding to recombinant human ARFs 1, 5, and 6; yeast ARFs 1, 2, and 3; ARD1; two ARD1 mutants that contain the ARF domain; and Delta13ARF1, which lacks the N-terminal alpha-helix. Neither C-1 Sec7 nor cytohesin-1 increased GTPgammaS binding to human ARF-like ARL proteins 1, 2, and 3. Thus, ARLs, initially differentiated from ARFs because of their inability to activate cholera toxin, differ also in their failure to interact functionally with C-1 Sec7 or cytohesin-1. As C-1 Sec7 was much less substrate-specific than cytohesin-1, it appears that structure outside of the Sec7 domain is important for ARF specificity. Data obtained with mutant ARF constructs are all consistent with the conclusion that the ARF N terminus is an important determinant of cytohesin-1 specificity.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factor domain protein 1 (ARD1) is a member of the ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) family of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that differs from other ARFs by the presence of a 46-kDa amino-terminal extension which acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for its ARF domain. Similar to ARF GAPs, the GAP domain of ARD1 contains a zinc finger motif and arginine residues that are critical for activity. It differs from other ARF GAPs in its covalent association with the GTP-binding domain and its specificity for the ARF domain of ARD1. ARFs are presumed to play a key role in the formation of intracellular transport vesicles and in their movement from one compartment to another. We report here that ARD1 overexpressed in cells, as a fusion or nonfusion protein, is localized in vesicular structures that are concentrated mainly in the perinuclear region, but are found also throughout the cytosol. Microscopic colocalization and subcellular fractionation studies showed that ARD1 was associated with the Golgi complex and lysosomal structures. ARD1 expressed as a green fluorescent fusion protein was initially associated with the Golgi network and subsequently localized to lysosomes. Lysosomal and Golgi membranes isolated from human liver by immunoaffinity contained native ARD1. Localization to these organelles, therefore, did not appear to be a result of overexpression. These observations suggest that the ARF-related protein ARD1 may play a role in the formation or function of lysosomes and in protein trafficking between Golgi and lysosomes.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are approximately 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins recognized as critical components in intracellular vesicular transport and phospholipase D activation. Both guanine nucleotide-exchange proteins and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) for ARFs have been cloned recently. A zinc finger motif near the amino terminus of the ARF1 GAP was required for stimulation of GTP hydrolysis. ARD1 is an ARF family member that differs from other ARFs by the presence of a 46-kDa amino-terminal extension. We had reported that the ARF domain of ARD1 binds specifically GDP and GTP and that the amino-terminal extension acts as a GAP for the ARF domain of ARD1 but not for ARF proteins. The GAP domain of ARD1, synthesized in Escherichia coli, stimulated hydrolysis of GTP bound to the ARF domain of ARD1. Using ARD1 truncations, it appears that amino acids 101-190 are critical for GAP activity, whereas residues 190-333 are involved in physical interaction between the two domains of ARD1 and are required for GTP hydrolysis. The GAP function of the amino-terminal extension of ARD1 required two arginines, an intact zinc finger motif, and a group of residues which resembles a sequence present in Rho/Rac GAPs. Interaction between the two domains of ARD1 required two negatively charged residues (Asp427 and Glu428) located in the effector region of the ARF domain and two basic amino acids (Arg249 and Lys250) found in the amino-terminal extension. The GAP domain of ARD1 thus is similar to ARF GAPs but differs from other GAPs in its covalent association with the GTP-binding domain.

ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are approximately 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins initially identified by their ability to stimulate cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and later recognized as critical components in intracellular vesicular transport and phospholipase D activation. ARF domain protein 1 (ARD1) is a member of the ARF family that differs from other ARFs by the presence of a 46-kDa amino-terminal extension. We previously reported that this extension acts as a GTPase-activating protein for the ARF domain of ARD1 (Vitale, N., Moss, J., and Vaughan, M. (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 93, 1941-1944). Both GTP binding and GTP hydrolysis are necessary for physiological function of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, and the rates of GDP/GTP exchange and GTPase activity are critical in the activation/deactivation cycle. Dissociation of GDP from the ARF domain of ARD1 was faster than from ARD1 itself (both proteins synthesized in Escherichia coli). Using deletion mutations, it was demonstrated that the 15 amino acids directly preceding the ARF domain were responsible for decreasing the rate of GDP dissociation but not guanosine 5-[gamma-thio]triphosphate dissociation. By site-specific mutagenesis it was shown that hydrophobic amino acids in this region were particularly important in stabilizing the GDP-bound form of ARD1. It is suggested that, like the amino-terminal segment of ARF, the equivalent region in ARD1, located between the GTPase-activating protein and ARF domains, may act as a GDP dissociation inhibitor.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are a family of approximately 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins and members of the Ras superfamily, originally identified and purified by their ability to enhance the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of cholera toxin and more recently recognized as critical participants in vesicular trafficking pathways and phospholipase D activation. ARD1 is a 64-kDa protein with an 18-kDa carboxyl-terminal ARF domain (p3) and a 46-kDa amino-terminal extension (p5) that is widely expressed in mammalian tissues. Using recombinant proteins, we showed that p5, the amino-terminal domain of ARD1, stimulates the GTPase activity of p3, the ARF domain, and appears to be the GTPase-activating protein (GAP) component of this bifunctional protein, whereas in other members of the Ras superfamily a separate GAP molecule interacts with the effector region of the GTP-binding protein. p5 stimulated the GTPase activity of p3 but not of ARF1, which differs from p3 in several amino acids in the effector domain. After substitution of 7 amino acids from p3 in the appropriate position in ARF1, the chimeric protein ARF1(39-45p3) bound to p5, which increased its GTPase activity. Specifically, after Gly40 and Thr45 in the putative effector domain of ARF1 were replaced with the equivalent Asp and Pro, respectively, from p3, functional interaction of the chimeric ARF1 with p5 was increased. Thus, Asp25 and Pro30 of the ARF domain (p3) of ARD1 are involved in its functional and physical interaction with the GTPase-activating (p5) domain of ARD1. After deletion of the amino-terminal 15 amino acids from ARF1(39-45p3), its interaction with p5 was essentially equivalent to that of p3, suggesting that the amino terminus of ARF1(39-45p3) may interfere with binding to p5. These results are consistent with the conclusion that the GAP domain of ARD1 interacts with the effector region of the ARF domain and thereby stimulates GTP hydrolysis.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are approximately20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that participate in vesicular transport in the Golgi and other intracellular compartments and stimulate cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Both GTP binding and hydrolysis are necessary for its physiological functions, although purified mammalian ARF lacks detectable GTPase activity. An ARF GTPase-activating protein (GAP) was purified >15,000-fold from rat spleen cytosol using (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and chromatography on Ultrogel AcA 34, DEAE-Sephacel, heparin-Sepharose, hydroxylapatite, and Ultrogel AcA 44. In fractions ( approximately100-kDa proteins) from Ultrogel AcA 44, a major protein band of approximately50 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis correlated with GAP activity, consistent with it being a homodimer, thus differing from an ARF GAP purified from rat liver (Makler, V., Cukierman, E., Rotman, M., Admon, A., and Cassel, D. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 5232-5237). Purified spleen GAP accelerated hydrolysis of GTP bound to recombinant ARF1, ARF3, ARF5, and ARF6; no effect of NH2-terminal myristoylation was observed. ARF GAP also activated GTP hydrolysis by ARL1, which is 56% identical in amino acid sequence to ARF1, but lacks ARF activity. ARD1 is a 64-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding protein that contains an 18-kDa ARF domain at its carboxyl terminus; the ARF domain lacks the amino-terminal alpha-helix found in native ARF and hence is similar to the amino-terminal truncated mutant Delta13ARF1. Both the ARF domain of ARD1 and Delta13ARF1 were poor substrates for ARF GAP. The non-ARF1 domain of ARD1 enhanced the GTPase activity of the ARF domain, but not that of the ARF proteins and Delta13ARF1, i.e. it lacks the relatively broad substrate specificity exhibited by ARF GAP.
