Abstract
The liver performs numerous vital functions, including the detoxification of blood before access to the brain while simultaneously secreting and internalizing scores of proteins and lipids to maintain appropriate blood chemistry. Furthermore, the liver also synthesizes and secretes bile to enable the digestion of food. These diverse attributes are all performed by hepatocytes, the parenchymal cells of the liver. As predicted, these cells possess a remarkably well-developed and complex membrane trafficking machinery that is dedicated to moving specific cargos to their correct cellular locations. Importantly, while most epithelial cells secrete nascent proteins directionally toward a single lumen, the hepatocyte secretes both proteins and bile concomitantly at its basolateral and apical domains, respectively. In this Beyond the Cell review, we will detail these central features of the hepatocyte and highlight how membrane transport processes play a key role in healthy liver function and how they are affected by disease.

Abstract
Rab small GTPases (∼60 genes in mammals) are the master regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking. Homma et al. establish a comprehensive collection of knockout epithelial cell lines for all the mammalian Rabs, revealing that Rab6 is required for basement membrane formation and soluble cargo secretion. The Rab family of small GTPases comprises the largest number of proteins (∼60 in mammals) among the regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, but the precise function of many Rabs and the functional redundancy and diversity of Rabs remain largely unknown. Here, we generated a comprehensive collection of knockout (KO) MDCK cells for the entire Rab family. We knocked out closely related paralogs simultaneously (Rab subfamily knockout) to circumvent functional compensation and found that Rab1A/B and Rab5A/B/C are critical for cell survival and/or growth. In addition, we demonstrated that Rab6-KO cells lack the basement membrane, likely because of the inability to secrete extracellular matrix components. Further analysis revealed the general requirement of Rab6 for secretion of soluble cargos. Transport of transmembrane cargos to the plasma membrane was also significantly delayed in Rab6-KO cells, but the phenotype was relatively mild. Our Rab-KO collection, which shares the same background, would be a valuable resource for analyzing a variety of membrane trafficking events.

Abstract
Secretory cells produce diverse cargoes, yet how they regulate concomitant secretory traffic remains insufficiently explored. Rab GTPases control intracellular vesicular transport. To map secretion pathways, we generated a library of lentivirus-expressed dominant-negative Rab mutants and used it in a large-scale screen to identify regulators of hepatic lipoprotein secretion. We identified several candidate pathways, including those mediated by Rab11 and Rab8. Surprisingly, inhibition of Rab1b, the major regulator of transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi, differently affected the secretion of the very-low-density lipoprotein components ApoE and ApoB100, despite their final association on mature secreted lipoprotein particles. Since hepatitis C virus (HCV) incorporates ApoE and ApoB100 into its virus particle, we also investigated infectious HCV secretion and show that its regulation by Rab1b mirrors that of ApoB100. These observations reveal differential regulation of hepatocyte secretion by Rab1b and advance our understanding of lipoprotein assembly and lipoprotein and HCV secretion.

Abstract
Hepatocytes, like other epithelia, are situated at the interface between the organism's exterior and the underlying internal milieu and organize the vectorial exchange of macromolecules between these two spaces. To mediate this function, epithelial cells, including hepatocytes, are polarized with distinct luminal domains that are separated by tight junctions from lateral domains engaged in cell-cell adhesion and from basal domains that interact with the underlying extracellular matrix. Despite these universal principles, hepatocytes distinguish themselves from other nonstriated epithelia by their multipolar organization. Each hepatocyte participates in multiple, narrow lumina, the bile canaliculi, and has multiple basal surfaces that face the endothelial lining. Hepatocytes also differ in the mechanism of luminal protein trafficking from other epithelia studied. They lack polarized protein secretion to the luminal domain and target single-spanning and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored bile canalicular membrane proteins via transcytosis from the basolateral domain. We compare this unique hepatic polarity phenotype with that of the more common columnar epithelial organization and review our current knowledge of the signaling mechanisms and the organization of polarized protein trafficking that govern the establishment and maintenance of hepatic polarity. The serine/threonine kinase LKB1, which is activated by the bile acid taurocholate and, in turn, activates adenosine monophosphate kinase-related kinases including AMPK1/2 and Par1 paralogues has emerged as a key determinant of hepatic polarity. We propose that the absence of a hepatocyte basal lamina and differences in cell-cell adhesion signaling that determine the positioning of tight junctions are two crucial determinants for the distinct hepatic and columnar polarity phenotypes.

Abstract
Viruses commonly utilize the cellular trafficking machinery of polarized cells to effect viral export. Hepatocytes are polarized in vivo, but most in vitro hepatocyte models are either nonpolarized or have morphology unsuitable for the study of viral export. Here, we investigate the mechanisms of trafficking and export for the hepadnaviruses hepatitis B virus (HBV) and duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) in polarized hepatocyte-derived cell lines and primary duck hepatocytes. DHBV export, but not replication, was dependent on the development of hepatocyte polarity, with export significantly abrogated over time as primary hepatocytes lost polarity. Using Transwell cultures of polarized N6 cells and adenovirus-based transduction, we observed that export of both HBV and DHBV was vectorially regulated and predominantly basolateral. Monitoring of polarized N6 cells and nonpolarized C11 cells during persistent, long-term DHBV infection demonstrated that newly synthesized sphingolipid and virus displayed significant colocalization and fluorescence resonance energy transfer, implying cotransportation from the Golgi complex to the plasma membrane. Notably, 15% of virus was released apically from polarized cells, corresponding to secretion into the bile duct in vivo, also in association with sphingolipids. We conclude that DHBV and, probably, HBV are reliant upon hepatocyte polarity to be efficiently exported and this export is in association with sphingolipid structures, possibly lipid rafts. This study provides novel insights regarding the mechanisms of hepadnavirus trafficking in hepatocytes, with potential relevance to pathogenesis and immune tolerance.

Abstract
Alcoholic liver disease is a major biomedical health concern in the United States. Despite considerable research efforts aimed at understanding the progression of the disease, the specific mechanisms leading to alcohol-induced damage remain elusive. Numerous proteins are known to have alcohol-induced alterations in their dynamics. Defining these defects in protein trafficking is an active area of research. In general, two trafficking pathways are affected: transport of newly synthesized secretory or membrane glycoproteins from the Golgi to the basolateral membrane and clathrin-mediated endocytosis from the sinusoidal surface. Both impaired secretion and internalization require ethanol metabolism and are likely mediated by acetaldehyde. Although the mechanisms by which ethanol exposure impairs protein trafficking are not fully understood, recent work implicates alcohol-induced modifications on tubulin or components of the clathrin machinery as potential mediators. Furthermore, the physiological ramifications of impaired protein trafficking are not fully understood. In this review, we will list and discuss the proteins whose trafficking patterns are known to be impaired by ethanol exposure. We will then describe what is known about the possible mechanisms leading to impaired protein trafficking and how disrupted protein trafficking alters liver function and may explain clinical features of the alcoholic patient.

Abstract
Organelle purification procedures capitalize on the differences in size, density, and (occasionally) surface charge density of individual types of organelles. Most fractionation procedures that are based on centrifugation involve some combination of procedures that distinguish both size and density. Initially, a homogenate is prepared in isoosmotic (or slightly hyperosmotic) sucrose or some other predominantly nonelectrolyte medium. A wide range of procedures have been used to fractionate tissue homogenates. The protocols in this unit emphasize different fractionation techniques that have been used for rat liver, an abundant tissue that has been a favorite of many investigators and has served as the source of many organelle preparations of excellent purity. For selected procedures, examples have been given using other tissue sources (e.g., glandular tissues that maintain protein storage granules for regulated secretion) or, where particularly favorable, cultured cells.

Abstract
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is an enterically transmitted virus that replicates predominantly in hepatocytes within the liver before excretion via bile through feces. Hepatocytes are polarized epithelial cells, and it has been assumed that the virus load in bile results from direct export of HAV via the apical domain of polarized hepatocytes. We have developed a subclone of hepatocyte-derived HepG2 cells (clone N6) that maintains functional characteristics of polarized hepatocytes but displays morphology typical of columnar epithelial cells, rather than the complex morphology that is typical of hepatocytes. N6 cells form microcolonies of polarized cells when grown on glass and confluent monolayers of polarized cells on semipermeable membranes. When N6 microcolonies were exposed to HAV, infection was restricted to peripheral cells of polarized colonies, whereas all cells could be infected in colonies of nonpolarized HepG2 cells (clone C11) or following disruption of tight junctions in N6 colonies with EGTA. This suggests that viral entry occurs predominantly via the basolateral plasma membrane, consistent with uptake of virus from the bloodstream after enteric exposure, as expected. Viral export was also found to be markedly vectorial in N6 but not C11 cells. However, rather than being exported from the apical domain as expected, more than 95% of HAV was exported via the basolateral domain of N6 cells, suggesting that virus is first excreted from infected hepatocytes into the bloodstream rather than to the biliary tree. Enteric excretion of HAV may therefore rely on reuptake and transcytosis of progeny HAV across hepatocytes into the bile. These studies provide the first example of the interactions between viruses and polarized hepatocytes.

Abstract
The composition and identity of cell organelles are dictated by the flux of lipids and proteins that they receive and lose through cytosolic exchange and membrane trafficking. The trans-Golgi network (TGN) is a major sorting centre for cell lipids and proteins at the crossroads of the endocytic and exocytic pathways; it has a complex dynamic structure composed of a network of tubular membranes that generate pleiomorphic carriers targeted to different destinations. Live-cell imaging combined with three-dimensional tomography has recently provided the temporal and topographical framework that allows the assembly of the numerous molecular machineries so far implicated in sorting and trafficking at the TGN.

Abstract
Neurotrophins, such as NGF and BDNF, induce sustained activation of Rap1 small G protein and ERK, which are essential for neurite outgrowth. We show involvement of a GDP/GTP exchange factor (GEF) for Rap1, PDZ-GEF1, in these processes. PDZ-GEF1 is activated by GTP-Rap1 via a positive feedback mechanism. Upon NGF binding, the TrkA neurotrophin receptor is internalized from the cell surface, passes through early endosomes, and arrives in late endosomes. A tetrameric complex forms between PDZ-GEF1, synaptic scaffolding molecule and ankyrin repeat-rich membrane spanning protein which interacts directly with the TrkA receptor. At late endosomes, the complex induces sustained activation of Rap1 and ERK, resulting in neurite outgrowth. In cultured rat hippocampal neurons, PDZ-GEF1 is recruited to late endosomes in a BDNF-dependent manner involved in BDNF-induced neurite outgrowth. Thus, the interaction of PDZ-GEF1 with an internalized neurotrophin receptor transported to late endosomes induces sustained activation of both Rap1 and ERK and neurite outgrowth.

Abstract
Receptor activation leads to the dynamic remodeling of the plasma membrane. Previous work using immunoelectron microscopy showed that aggregated high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (FcRI) and aggregated Thy-1, a glycerophosphoinositol (GPI)-anchored protein, have distinct membrane distributions. We now report lipidomics analysis of FcRI- and Thy-1-enriched vesicles obtained by magnetic bead isolation in the absence of detergent. Protein analyses show that FcRI domains are enriched in receptors and associated signaling molecules, whereas Thy-1 domains are devoid of FcRI subunits. Positive and negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry demonstrated that both domains retained a complex mixture of phospholipid classes and molecular species, predominantly glycerophosphocholine, glycerophosphoethanolamine (GPE), and sphingomyelin as well as glycerophosphoserine and GPI lipids. Analysis of total acyl groups showed that < 50% of fatty acids in these domains are fully saturated, inconsistent with the recruitment of aggregated receptors or GPI-anchored proteins to liquid ordered domains. However, further analysis showed that FcRI domains contain two times more sphingomyelin and a high ratio of cholesterol to total fatty acid content compared with Thy 1-enriched domains. Remarkably, plasmenyl glycerophosphoethanolamine phospholipids (plasmalogen GPE) were also 2.5-3 times more abundant in FcRI domains than in the Thy-1 microdomains, whereas most diacyl GPE molecular species were equally abundant in the two domains.

Abstract
We have determined the concentration effects of feeding for 8 weeks 10.8%, 21.6%, and 36% dietary ethanol calories on the activities and relative synthetic rates (RSRs) of various subcellular sialidases of rat liver. The hepatic RSRs of each species of sialidase was determined based on the ratio of 1-hour incorporation of [35S]-methionine into immunoprecipitable sialidase as percent of the incorporation into total protein in each subcellular fraction. Ganglioside sialidase activities in the hepatic subcellular fractions were also determined. Ethanol feeding at 36% dietary calories caused an increase in the ganglioside sialidase activity of the plasma membrane sialidase (PMS) by 232% (P < .01) and that of cytosolic sialidase (CS) by 184% (P < .05), but decreased the lysosomal membrane sialidase (LMS) by 54% (P < .01) when compared with the control animals. The specificity of each antisialidase antibody was verified by immunoblots. The RSR of PMS was increased by 40% (P < .01), 67% (P < .01), and 220% (P < .01) in the 10.8%, 21.6%, and 36% ethanol groups, respectively. Similarly, the RSR of CS was increased by 17% (P < .01), 19% (P < .01), and 63% (P < .01), respectively, in these ethanol groups. In contrast, the RSR of LMS was inhibited by 36% (P < .01), 34% (P < .01), and 69% (P < .01), respectively, in these ethanol groups. Intralysosomal sialidase failed to hydrolyze gangliosides. Thus, PMS and CS, but not LMS or intralysosomal sialidase, may play important roles in ethanol-modulated desialylation of gangliosides and consequent liver injury and behavioral alterations.

Abstract
In this report, we characterize GIV (Galpha-interacting vesicle-associated protein), a novel protein that binds members of the Galpha(i) and Galpha subfamilies of heterotrimeric G proteins. The Galpha(s) interaction site was mapped to an 83-amino acid region of GIV that is enriched in highly charged amino acids. BLAST searches revealed two additional mammalian family members, Daple and an uncharacterized protein, FLJ00354. These family members share the highest homology at the Galpha binding domain, are homologous at the N terminus and central coiled coil domain but diverge at the C terminus. Using affinity-purified IgG made against two different regions of the protein, we localized GIV to COPI, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi transport vesicles concentrated in the Golgi region in GH3 pituitary cells and COS7 cells. Identification as COPI vesicles was based on colocalization with beta-COP, a marker for these vesicles. GIV also codistributes in the Golgi region with endogenous calnuc and the KDEL receptor, which are cis Golgi markers and with Galpha(i3)-yellow fluorescent protein expressed in COS7 cells. By immunoelectron microscopy, GIV colocalizes with beta-COP and Galpha(i3) on vesicles found in close proximity to ER exit sites and to cis Golgi cisternae. In cell fractions prepared from rat liver, GIV is concentrated in a carrier vesicle fraction (CV2) enriched in ER-Golgi transport vesicles. beta-COP and several Galpha subunits (Galpha(i1-3), Galpha(s)) are also most enriched in CV2. Our results demonstrate the existence of a novel Galpha-interacting protein associated with COPI transport vesicles that may play a role in Galpha-mediated effects on vesicle trafficking within the Golgi and/or between the ER and the Golgi.

Abstract
The AtT20 pituitary cell is the one that was originally used to define the pathways taken by secretory proteins in mammalian cells. It possesses two secretory pathways, the constitutive for immediate secretion and the regulated for accumulation and release under hormonal stimulation. It is in the regulated pathway, most precisely in the immature granule of the regulated pathway, that proteolytic maturation takes place. A pathway that stems from the regulated one, namely the constitutive-like pathway releases proteins present in immature granules that are not destined for accumulation in mature granules. In AtT20 cells proopiomelanocortin the endogenous precursor of the accumulated adrenocorticotropic hormone, is predominantly secreted in a constitutive manner without proteolytic maturation. In order to better understand by which secretory pathway intact proopiomelanocortin is secreted by a cell line possessing a regulated secretory pathway, it was transfected with rat serum albumin (a marker of constitutive secretory proteins), and pancreatic amylase (a marker of regulated proteins). COS cells were also transfected in order to serve as control of release by the constitutive pathway. It was observed that both the basal and stimulated secretions of albumin and proopiomelanocortin from AtT20 cells are identical. In addition, secretagogue stimulation when POMC is in transit in the trans-Golgi network decreases its constitutive secretion by 50%. It was also observed using cell fractionation and 20 degrees C secretion blocks that albumin and proopiomelanocortin are present in the regulated pathway, presumably in the immature granules, and are secreted by the constitutive-like secretory pathway. These observations show that stimulation can increase sorting into the regulated pathway, and confirm the importance of the constitutive-like secretory pathway in the model AtT20 cell line.

Abstract
E-cadherin is a key cell–cell adhesion molecule at adherens junctions (AJs) and undergoes endocytosis when AJs are disrupted by the action of extracellular signals. To elucidate the mechanism of this endocytosis, we developed here a new cell-free assay system for this reaction using the AJ-enriched fraction from rat liver. We found here that non-trans-interacting, but not trans-interacting, E-cadherin underwent endocytosis in a clathrin-dependent manner. The endocytosis of trans-interacting E-cadherin was inhibited by Rac and Cdc42 small G proteins, which were activated by trans-interacting E-cadherin or trans-interacting nectins, which are known to induce the formation of AJs in cooperation with E-cadherin. This inhibition was mediated by reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton by Rac and Cdc42 through IQGAP1, an actin filament-binding protein and a downstream target of Rac and Cdc42. These results indicate the important role of the Rac/Cdc42-IQGAP1 system in the dynamic organization and maintenance of the E-cadherin–based AJs.

Abstract
Plasma membranes of epithelial cells consist of two domains, an apical and a basolateral domain, the surfaces of which differ in composition. The separation of these domains by a tight junction and the fact that specific transport pathways exist for intracellular communication between these domains and distinct intracellular compartments relevant to cell polarity development, have triggered extensive research on issues that focus on how the polarity is generated and maintained. Apart from proper assembly of tight junctions, their potential functioning as landmark for the transport machinery, cell-cell adhesion is obviously instrumental in barrier formation. In recent years, distinct endocytic compartments, defined as subapical compartment or common endosome, were shown to play a prominent role in regulating membrane trafficking to and from polarized membrane domains. Sorting devices remain to be determined but likely include distinct rab proteins, and evidence is accumulating to indicate that signaling events may direct intracellular membrane transport, intimately involved in the biogenesis and maintenance of polarized membrane domains and hence the development of cell polarity.

Abstract
Bile duct ligation (BDL) impairs basolateral-to-apical transcytosis in hepatocytes, causing accumulation of transcytotic carriers for the polymeric IgA receptor (pIgA-R) and redistribution of secretory component (SC) from bile to blood. To gain insight into the mechanisms regulating transcytosis and the pathophysiology of cholestasis, we investigated nascent protein trafficking in control and BDL livers using cell fractionation in the context of in vivo pulse-chase experiments and immunoblot analysis. Control and cholestatic hepatocytes trafficked [35S]-labeled serum proteins and the pIgA-R along the secretory pathway with identical kinetics. However, BDL impaired transcytosis, causing (1) accumulation of the pIgA-R, rab3D, rab11a, and other candidate regulators of apical-directed secretion in a crude vesicle carrier fraction (CVCF) enriched in transcytotic carriers; (2) slow delivery of [35S]-labeled SC to bile; and (3) paracellular reflux of SC from bile to blood. In conclusion, these data indicate that the secretory and transcytotic pathways remain polarized in cholestatic hepatocytes and suggest that the pIgA-R traffics through postendosomal rab3D-, rab11a-, and syntaxin 2-associated compartments, implicating these proteins in the regulation of transcytosis.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident molecular chaperones interact with apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB) during its maturation. The initial stages of apoB folding occur while it is bound to the ER membrane, where it becomes partially lipidated to form a primordial intermediate. We determined whether this intermediate is dependent on the assistance of molecular chaperones for its subsequent folding steps. To that end, microsomes were prepared from HepG2 cells and luminal contents were subjected to KBr density gradient centrifugation. Immunoprecipitation of apoB followed by Western blotting showed that the luminal pool floated at a density of 1.12 g/ml and, like the membrane-bound pool, was associated with GRP94, ERp72, BiP, calreticulin, and cyclophilin B. Except for calreticulin, chaperone/apoB ratio in the lumen was severalfold higher than that in the membrane, suggesting a role for these chaperones both in facilitating the release of the primordial intermediate into the ER lumen and in providing stability. Subcellular fractionation on sucrose gradients showed that apoB in the Golgi was associated with the same array of chaperones as the pool of apoB recovered from heavy microsomes containing the ER, except that chaperone/apoB ratio was lower. KBr density gradient fractionation showed that the major pool of luminal apoB in the Golgi was recovered from 1.02 < d < 1.08 g/ml, whereas apoB in ER was recovered primarily from 1.08 < d < 1.2 g/ml. Both fractions were associated with the same spectrum of chaperones. Together with the finding that GRP94 was found associated with sialylated apoB, we conclude that correct folding of apoB is dependent on the assistance of molecular chaperone, which play multiple roles in its maturation throughout the secretory pathway including distal compartments such as the trans-Golgi network.

Abstract
In HepG2 cells, the subapical compartment (SAC) is involved in the biogenesis of membrane polarity. By contrast, direct apical transport originating from the trans-Golgi network (TGN), which may contribute to polarity establishment, has been poorly defined in these cells. Thus, although newly synthesized sphingolipids can be directly transported from the TGN to the apical membrane, numerous apical resident proteins are traveling via the transcytotic route. Here, we developed an in vitro transport assay and compared the molecular sorting of 6-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3 diazol-4-yl)amino] hexanoyl-sphingomyelin (C(6)NBD-SM) and C(6)NBD-glucosylceramide (C(6)NBD-GlcCer) in TGN and SAC. SM is released from both TGN and SAC in the lumenal leaflet of transport vesicles. This holds also for GlcCer released from the SAC but not for a substantial fraction that departed from the Golgi. Distinct transport vesicles, enriched in either SM or GlcCer are released from SAC, consistent with their rigid sorting in this compartment. Different vesicle populations could not be recovered from TGN, although in situ experiments reveal that GlcCer is preferentially transported to the apical membrane, reflecting different transport mechanisms. The results indicate that in HepG2 cells sphingolipids are mainly sorted in the SAC membrane and that the release of SM from SAC and TGN is differentially regulated.

Abstract
In epithelial cells, soluble cargo proteins destined for basolateral or apical secretion are packaged into distinct trans-Golgi network-derived transport carriers. Similar carriers, termed basolateral- and apical-like, have been observed in nonepithelial cells using ectopically expressed membrane marker proteins. Whether these cells are capable of selectively packaging secretory proteins into distinct carriers is still an open question. Here, we have addressed this issue by analyzing the packaging and transport of secretory human chromogranin B fusion proteins using a green fluorescent protein-based high-resolution, dual-color imaging technique. We were able to show that these secretory markers were selectively packaged at the Golgi into tubular/vesicular-like transport carriers containing basolateral membrane markers, resulting in extensive cotransport. In contrast, deletion mutants of the human chromogranin B fusion proteins lacking an N-terminal loop structure were efficiently transported in both basolateral- and apical-like carriers, the latter displaying a spherical morphology. Similarly, in polarized epithelial cells, the human chromogranin B fusion protein was secreted basolaterally and the loop-deleted analogue into both the basolateral and apical medium. These findings suggest that nonepithelial cells, like their epithelial counterparts, possess a sorting machinery capable of selective packaging of secretory cargo into distinct types of carriers.

Abstract
Yeast produce two classes of secretory vesicles (SVs) that differ in both density and cargo protein content. In late-acting secretory mutants (e.g. snc1(ala43) and sec6-4), both low- (LDSV) and high-density (HDSV) classes of vesicles accumulate at restrictive temperatures. Here, we have found that disruptions in the genes encoding a dynamin-related protein (VPS1) or clathrin heavy chain (CHC1) abolish HDSV production, yielding LDSVs that contain all secreted cargos. Interestingly, disruption of the PEP12 gene, which encodes the t-SNARE that mediates all Golgi to pre-vacuolar compartment (PVC) transport, also abolishes HDSV production. In contrast, deletions in genes that selectively confer vacuolar hydrolase sorting to the PVC or protein transport to the vacuole (i.e. VPS34 and VAM3, respectively) have no effect. Thus, one branch of the secretory pathway in yeast involves an intermediate sorting compartment and has a specific requirement for clathrin and a dynamin-related protein in SV biogenesis.

Abstract
Exocytic vesicles that accumulate in a temperature-sensitive sec6 mutant at a restrictive temperature can be separated into at least two populations with different buoyant densities and unique cargo molecules. Using a sec6 mutant background to isolate vesicles, we have found that vacuolar protein sorting mutants that block an endosome-mediated route to the vacuole, including vps1, pep12, vps4, and a temperature-sensitive clathrin mutant, missort cargo normally transported by dense exocytic vesicles, such as invertase, into light exocytic vesicles, whereas transport of cargo specific to the light exocytic vesicles appears unaffected. Immunoisolation experiments confirm that missorting, rather than a changed property of the normally dense vesicles, is responsible for the altered density gradient fractionation profile. The vps41Delta and apl6Delta mutants, which block transport of only the subset of vacuolar proteins that bypasses endosomes, sort exocytic cargo normally. Furthermore, a vps10Delta sec6 mutant, which lacks the sorting receptor for carboxypeptidase Y (CPY), accumulates both invertase and CPY in dense vesicles. These results suggest that at least one branch of the yeast exocytic pathway transits through endosomes before reaching the cell surface. Consistent with this possibility, we show that immunoisolated clathrin-coated vesicles contain invertase.

Abstract
The absence of a direct route to the apical plasma membrane (PM) for single transmembrane domain (TMD) proteins in polarized hepatic cells has been inferred but never directly demonstrated. The genes encoding three pairs of apical PM proteins, whose extracellular domains are targeted exclusively to the apical milieu in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, were packaged into recombinant adenovirus and delivered to WIF-B cells in vitro and liver hepatocytes in vivo. By immunofluorescence and pulse-chase metabolic labeling, we found that the soluble constructs were overwhelmingly secreted into the basolateral milieu, which in vivo is the blood and in vitro is the culture medium. The full-length proteins were first delivered to the basolateral surface but then concentrated in the apical PM. Our results imply that hepatic cells lack trans-Golgi network (TGN)-based machinery for directly sorting single transmembrane domain apical proteins and raise interesting questions about current models of PM protein sorting in polarized and nonpolarized cells.

Abstract
Because of the important roles of rabs in protein trafficking, we tested whether chronic ethanol exposure affected the trafficking of newly synthesized apolipoprotein E (apoE) or transferrin (O-glycosylated and N-glycosylated proteins, respectively) attached to acylated or prenylated rabs. The in vivo 30-min incorporation ratios of [3H]palmitate:[35S]methionine or [3H]mevalonate:[35S]methionine (relative ratios of rabs acylation or prenylation to total protein or to immunoisolated apoE or transferrin) were measured in various hepatic subcellular organelles of 8 week-ethanol-fed (E) and pair-fed control (C) Wistar-Furth rats. With respect to total protein trafficking, ethanol increased rabs acylation ratio by 136% (P <.01), 69% (P <.05), and 64% (P <.01) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi light fraction (GLF), and Golgi heavy fraction (GHF), respectively, and decreased this ratio by 76% (P <.01) in carrier vesicle fraction 2 (CV2). With respect to apoE trafficking, ethanol increased rabs acylation ratio by 121% in GHF and decreased this ratio by 27% in CV2. Rabs prenylation ratio increased by 21% and 53% in GHF and CV2, respectively, and decreased by 42% in GLF. With respect to transferrin trafficking, ethanol increased rabs acylation ratio by 53% (P <.01) in GHF, with no significant effect in ER, whereas rabs prenylation ratio increased by 26% (P <.05) in ER, with no significant effect in GHF. Therefore, we conclude that ethanol-induced impaired trafficking of newly synthesized O- and N-glycosylated proteins occurs primarily in ER and Golgi and is due to altered lipidation of rabs, possibly rabs 1, 2, or 6 or combinations of these three rabs.

Abstract
Adipose cells produce and secrete several physiologically important proteins, such as lipoprotein lipase (LPL), leptin, adipsin, Acrp30, etc. However, secretory pathways in adipocytes have not been characterized, and vesicular carriers responsible for the accumulation and transport of secreted proteins have not been identified. We have compared the intracellular localization of two proteins secreted from adipose cells: leptin and LPL. Adipocytes accumulate large amounts of both proteins, suggesting that neither of them is targeted to the constitutive secretory pathway. By means of velocity centrifugation in sucrose gradients, equilibrium density centrifugation in iodixanol gradients, and immunofluorescence confocal microscopy, we determined that LPL and leptin were localized in different membrane structures. LPL was found mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum with a small pool being present in low density membrane vesicles that may represent a secretory compartment in adipose cells. Virtually all intracellular leptin was localized in these low density secretory vesicles. Insulin-sensitive Glut4 vesicles did not contain either LPL or leptin. Thus, secretion from adipose cells is controlled both at the exit from the endoplasmic reticulum as well as at the level of "downstream" secretory vesicles.

Abstract
Activation of insulin receptors stimulates a rapid increase in the ion permeability of liver cells. To evaluate whether this response involves insertion of ion channels, plasma membrane turnover was measured in a model liver cell line using the fluorescent membrane marker FM1-43. Under basal conditions, the rate of constitutive membrane turnover was approximately 2%min(-1), and balanced exocytosis and endocytosis maintained the total cell membrane area constant. Exposure to insulin stimulated a transient increase in membrane turnover of up to 10-fold above constitutive rates. The response was concentration-dependent (0.001-10 microm). Insulin also caused a parallel increase in membrane conductance as measured by whole-cell patch clamp recording due to opening of Cl(-)- and K(+)-selective ion channels. The insulin-stimulated membrane turnover did not appear to involve the constitutive recycling compartments, suggesting that a distinct pool of vesicles may be involved. The effects of insulin on membrane turnover and membrane conductance were inhibited by blockers of phosphoinositide 3-kinase LY294002 and wortmannin or by disrupting microtubule assembly with nocodazole. Taken together, these findings indicate that insulin stimulates recruitment of new membranes through phosphoinositide 3-kinase-dependent mechanisms. Thus, regulated insertion of a separate population of ion channel-containing vesicles may represent one mechanism for mediating the changes in membrane conductance that are essential for the cellular response to insulin.

Abstract
To investigate trafficking in neuroendocrine cells, green fluorescent protein (GFP) tags were fused to various portions of the preproneuropeptide Y (NPY) precursor. Two neuroendocrine cell lines, AtT-20 corticotrope tumor cells and PC-12 pheochromocytoma cells, along with primary anterior pituitary cells, were examined. Expression of chimeric constructs did not disrupt trafficking or regulated secretion of endogenous ACTH and prohormone convertase 1 in AtT-20 cells. Western blot and immunocytochemical analyses demonstrated that the chimeric constructs remained intact, as long as the Lys-Arg cleavage site within preproNPY was deleted. GFP was stored in, and released from, regulated granules in cells expressing half of the NPY precursor fused to GFP, and also in cells in which only the signal sequence of preproNPY was fused to GFP. Thus, in neuroendocrine cells, entering the lumen of the secretory pathway is sufficient to target GFP to regulated secretory granules.

Abstract
The major leptin-containing membrane compartment was identified and characterized in rat adipose cells by means of equilibrium density and velocity sucrose gradient centrifugation. This compartment appears to be different from peptide-containing secretory granules present in neuronal, endocrine, and exocrine cells, as well as from insulin-sensitive GLUT-4-containing vesicles abundant in adipocytes. Exocytosis of both leptin- and GLUT-4-containing vesicles can be induced by insulin; however, only leptin secretion is responsive to serum stimulation. This latter effect is resistant to cycloheximide, suggesting that serum triggers the release of a stored pool of presynthesized leptin molecules. We conclude that regulated secretion of leptin and insulin-dependent translocation of GLUT-4 represent different pathways of membrane trafficking in rat adipose cells. NIH 3T3 cells ectopically expressing CAAT box enhancer binding protein-alpha and Swiss 3T3 cells expressing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma undergo differentiation in vitro and acquire adipocyte morphology and insulin-responsive glucose uptake. Only the former cell line, however, is capable of leptin secretion. Thus different transcriptional mechanisms control the developmental onset of these two major and independent physiological functions in adipose cells.

Abstract
Bile salt-dependent lipase (BSDL) was detected in human SOJ-6 and rat AR4-2J pancreatic cells. Whereas AR4-2J cells actively secreted the enzyme, BSDL was retained within the Golgi compartment of SOJ-6 cells. Because Rab6 is involved in vesicle transport in the Golgi apparatus and the trans-Golgi network, we confirmed the presence of Rab6 in these cells. In rat AR4-2J cells, Rab6 as well as Rab1A/B and Rab2, partitioned between the cytosol and microsomes. In SOJ-6 cells Rab1A/B and Rab2 also partitioned between the cytosol and microsomes, but Rab6 was strictly associated with microsome membranes, suggesting a specific defect of Rab6 cycling in human SOJ-6 cells. The apparent defect of cycling in these cells is not due to the expression of a defective Rab6 since its correct sequence was confirmed. We further demonstrated that AR4-2J and SOJ-6 cells express the Rab-GDIbeta and Rab-GDIalpha isoforms, respectively. However, the sequence of Rab-GDIbeta, which may be the main form expressed by SOJ-6 cells, identified a few substitutions located in regions that are essential for Rab-GDI function. We conclude that the deficient secretion of BSDL by SOJ-6 cells could be due to the expression of defective Rab-GDIbeta. In spite of the alterations in Rab-GDIbeta, membrane proteins such as CD71 and NHE3 were correctly localized to the cell plasma membrane of SOJ-6 cells, suggesting that two functional distinct secretory pathway coexist in pancreatic cells.

Abstract
Rab3 isotypes are expressed in regulated secretory cells. Here, we report that rab3D is also expressed in rat hepatocytes, classic models for constitutive secretion. Using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with primers specific for rat rab3D, we amplified a 151 base pair rab3D fragment from total RNA extracted from primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. Immunoblot analysis using polyclonal antibodies to peptides representing the N- and C-terminal hypervariable regions of murine rab3D recognized a protein of approximately 25 kd in hepatocyte lysates, hepatic subcellular fractions, and tissue extracts. The distribution of rab3D was primarily cytosolic; however, only membrane-associated rab3D significantly bound guanosine triphosphate (GTP) in overlay assays. Several lines of investigation indicate that rab3D is associated with the transcytotic pathway. First, rab3D was enriched in a crude vesicle carrier fraction (CVCF), which includes transcytotic carriers. Vesicular compartments immunoisolated from the CVCF on magnetic beads coated with anti-rab3D antibody were enriched in the transcytosed form of the polymeric IgA receptor (pIgA-R), but lacked not only the pIgA-R precursor form associated with the secretory pathway, but also a Golgi marker protein. Second, indirect immunofluorescence on frozen liver sections and in polarized cultured hepatocytes localized rab3D-positive sites at or near the apical plasma membrane and to the pericanalicular cytoplasm. Finally, cholestasis induced by bile duct ligation (BDL), a manipulation known to slow transcytosis, caused rab3D to accumulate in the pericanalicular cytoplasm of cholestatic hepatocytes. Our results indicate that rab3D plays a role in the regulation of apically directed transcytosis in rat hepatocytes.

Abstract
The function of acidification in protein sorting along the biosynthetic pathway has been difficult to elucidate, in part because reagents used to alter organelle pH affect all acidified compartments and are poorly reversible. We have used a novel approach to examine the role of acidification in protein sorting in polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. We expressed the influenza virus M2 protein, an acid-activated ion channel that equilibrates lumenal and cytosolic pH, in polarized MDCK cells and examined the consequences on the targeting and delivery of apical and basolateral proteins. M2 activity affects the pH of only a subset of acidified organelles, and its activity can be rapidly reversed using ion channel blockers (Henkel, J.R., G. Apodaca, Y. Altschuler, S. Hardy, and O.A. Weisz. 1998. Mol. Biol. Cell. 8:2477-2490; Henkel, J.R., J.L. Popovich, G.A. Gibson, S.C. Watkins, and O.A. Weisz. 1999. J. Biol. Chem. 274:9854-9860). M2 expression significantly decreased the kinetics of cell surface delivery of the apical membrane protein influenza hemagglutinin, but not of the basolaterally delivered polymeric immunoglobulin receptor. Similarly, the kinetics of apical secretion of a soluble form of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase were reduced with no effect on the basolaterally secreted fraction. Interestingly, M2 activity had no effect on the rate of secretion of a nonglycosylated protein (human growth hormone [hGH]) that was secreted equally from both surfaces. However, M2 slowed apical secretion of a glycosylated mutant of hGH that was secreted predominantly apically. Our results suggest a role for acidic trans-Golgi network pH in signal-mediated loading of apical cargo into forming vesicles.

Abstract
The ruffled membrane, the resorptive organelle of the osteoclast, is generated by fusion of intracytoplasmic acidifying vesicles with the plasma membrane, an event analogous to regulated exocytosis. While the ruffled membrane is essential to the bone resorptive process, the mechanisms governing its generation are unknown. However, regulated exocytosis is mediated, in part, by isoforms of the Rab3 subset of Rab GTPases. Because of similarities between exocytosis and ruffled membrane formation, we asked if Rab3 proteins are expressed by osteoclasts or their precursors, and if so, are these molecules regulated by agents known to prompt the osteoclast phenotype? We find murine osteoclast precursors, in the form of bone marrow macrophages (BMMs), express at least two Rab3 isoforms, namely A and B/C, which are individually enhanced by a variety of hematopoietic cytokines. Consistent with the osteoclastogenic properties of a number of these cytokines, differentiation of BMMs into osteoclasts, in vitro, is associated with increased expression of both isoforms, particularly Rab3B/C. Finally, Rab3B/C localizes with the avian osteoclast H+ATPase (vacuolar proton pump) and pp60c-src, both intracellularly and within acidifying vesicles derived largely from the ruffled membrane. Thus, expression of specific rab3 proteins, an event which may control formation of the osteoclast ruffled membrane, is modulated by cytokines during osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Sorting of membrane proteins is generally mediated by cytosolic coats, which create a scaffold to form coated buds and vesicles and to selectively concentrate cargo by interacting with cytosolic signals. The classical paradigm is the interaction between clathrin coats and associated adaptor proteins, which cluster receptors with characteristic tyrosine and dileucine motifs during endocytosis. Clathrin in association with different sets of adaptors is found in addition at the trans-Golgi network and endosomes. Sequences similar to internalization signals also direct lysosomal and basolateral sorting, which implicates related clathrinadaptor coats in the respective sorting pathways. This review concentrates on the recognition of sorting signals by clathrin-associated adaptor proteins, an area of significant recent progress due to new methodological and conceptual approaches.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that CALNUC, a Ca2+-binding protein with two EF-hands, is the major Ca2+-binding protein in the Golgi by 45Ca2+ overlay (Lin, P., H. Le-Niculescu, R. Hofmeister, J.M. McCaffery, M. Jin, H. Henneman, T. McQuistan, L. De Vries, and M. Farquhar. 1998. J. Cell Biol. 141:1515-1527). In this study we investigated CALNUC's properties and the Golgi Ca2+ storage pool in vivo. CALNUC was found to be a highly abundant Golgi protein (3.8 microg CALNUC/mg Golgi protein, 2.5 x 10(5) CALNUC molecules/NRK cell) and to have a single high affinity, low capacity Ca2+-binding site (Kd = 6.6 microM, binding capacity = 1.1 micromol Ca2+/micromol CALNUC). 45Ca2+ storage was increased by 2.5- and 3-fold, respectively, in HeLa cells transiently overexpressing CALNUC-GFP and in EcR-CHO cells stably overexpressing CALNUC. Deletion of the first EF-hand alpha helix from CALNUC completely abolished its Ca2+-binding capability. CALNUC was correctly targeted to the Golgi in transfected cells as it colocalized and cosedimented with the Golgi marker, alpha-mannosidase II (Man II). Approximately 70% of the 45Ca2+ taken up by HeLa and CHO cells overexpressing CALNUC was released by treatment with thapsigargin, a sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) (Ca2+ pump) blocker. Stimulation of transfected cells with the agonist ATP or IP3 alone (permeabilized cells) also resulted in a significant increase in Ca2+ release from Golgi stores. By immunofluorescence, the IP3 receptor type 1 (IP3R-1) was distributed over the endoplasmic reticulum and codistributed with CALNUC in the Golgi. These results provide direct evidence that CALNUC binds Ca2+ in vivo and together with SERCA and IP3R is involved in establishment of the agonist-mobilizable Golgi Ca2+ store.

Abstract
A protein of 66k was purified to homogeneity from the total secretion of rat coagulating gland. Its close structural relationship to serum albumin was demonstrated by N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis, proteolytic fingerprinting and Western blotting studies using polyclonal antibodies raised against the 66k protein and rat serum albumin. Immunofluorescence staining showed that the 66k protein was localised in the cytoplasm of coagulating gland epithelial cells from which it is released via apocrine blebs. Performing immunoelectron microscopy, the 66k protein was by no means detectable in the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. Reverse transcription-PCR, Northern blotting studies and in situ hybridisation experiments demonstrated that mRNA of albumin is not expressed by coagulating gland epithelial cells. Therefore, intravascular albumin should be transferred into the epithelial cells of the rat coagulating gland followed by secretion via aposomes. Furthermore, overlay blots proved that the 66k protein binds to the apocrine proteins carbonic anhydrase II and secretory transglutaminase and vice versa. In contrast, no binding was evident to the merocrine 115k protein and to cytoplasmic resident proteins e.g. lactate dehydrogenase. These findings point to the assumption that serum albumin taken up from extracellular sources could function as a selective carrier for cytoplasmic proteins destined for apocrine secretion.

Abstract
Administration of phalloidin, one of the toxic peptides of the mushroom Amanita phalloides, leads to rapid and sustained cholestasis in rats. Although attributed to the interaction of phalloidin with microfilaments, the events leading to cholestasis are incompletely understood. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent, apical conjugate export pump, termed multidrug resistance protein 2 (Mrp2) or canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter, is the major driving force for bile salt-independent bile flow. We investigated the role of Mrp2 in phalloidin-induced cholestasis. Bile flow decreased to 53% and 31% of control at 15 and 30 minutes after phalloidin (0.5 mg/kg), respectively. Mrp2-mediated [3H]leukotriene excretion into bile during the initial 45 minutes was reduced to 44% of control when [3H]LTC4 was injected 15 minutes after phalloidin treatment. Mrp2 was progressively lost from the hepatocyte canalicular membrane and detected predominantly on intracellular membrane structures together with other canalicular proteins including P-glycoproteins, ecto-ATPase, and dipeptidyl-peptidase IV. By contrast, structures involved in intercellular adhesion (zonula occludens, zonula adhaerens, and desmosomes) as well as intermediate filaments of the cytokeratin type appeared largely unaffected within 30 minutes after phalloidin. In line with the immunofluorescence analysis, immunoblots indicated a loss of Mrp2 and P-glycoproteins from the canalicular membrane and a 3- and 4.6-fold increase of these transport proteins in the microsomal fraction, respectively. Our results indicate that phalloidin induces marked alterations of the hepatocyte canalicular architecture and a loss of Mrp2 together with other proteins from the canalicular membrane. The resulting cholestasis can therefore be explained in part by the loss of export pumps, including Mrp2, from the canalicular membrane.

Abstract
We found that the magnesium salt of ilimaquinone, named 201-F, specifically disassembled dynamically unstable microtubules in fibroblasts and various epithelial cell lines. Unlike classical tubulin- interacting drugs such as nocodazole or colchicine which affect all classes of microtubules, 201-F did not depolymerize stable microtubules. In WIF-B-polarized hepatic cells, 201-F disrupted the Golgi complex and inhibited albumin and alpha1-antitrypsin secretion to the same extent as nocodazole. By contrast, 201-F did not impair the transport of membrane proteins to the basolateral surface, which was only affected by the total disassembly of cellular microtubules. Transcytosis of two apical membrane proteins-the alkaline phosphodiesterase B10 and dipeptidyl peptidase IV-was affected to the same extent by 201-F and nocodazole. Taken together, these results indicate that only dynamically unstable microtubules are involved in the transport of secretory proteins to the plasma membrane, and in the transcytosis of membrane proteins to the apical surface. By contrast, stable microtubules, which are not functionally affected by 201-F treatment, are involved in the transport of membrane proteins to the basolateral surface. By specifically disassembling highly dynamic microtubules, 201-F is an invaluable tool with which to study the functional specialization of stable and dynamic microtubules in living cells.

Abstract
Transcytosis plays a central role in the immunological functions of epithelia, including the sampling of antigens that enter the body via the digestive, respiratory and urogenital tracts and their presentation to underlying lymphoid tissues, the secretion of specific immunoglobulins required for the immune protection of mucosal surfaces and the transfer of maternal immunoglobulins to the fetus or newborn, providing the latter with passive immunity for the first weeks of independent life.

Abstract
We have identified CALNUC, an EF-hand, Ca2+-binding protein, as a Golgi resident protein. CALNUC corresponds to a previously identified EF-hand/calcium-binding protein known as nucleobindin. CALNUC interacts with Galphai3 subunits in the yeast two-hybrid system and in GST-CALNUC pull-down assays. Analysis of deletion mutants demonstrated that the EF-hand and intervening acidic regions are the site of CALNUC's interaction with Galphai3. CALNUC is found in both cytosolic and membrane fractions. The membrane pool is tightly associated with the luminal surface of Golgi membranes. CALNUC is widely expressed, as it is detected by immunofluorescence in the Golgi region of all tissues and cell lines examined. By immunoelectron microscopy, CALNUC is localized to cis-Golgi cisternae and the cis-Golgi network (CGN). CALNUC is the major Ca2+-binding protein detected by 45Ca2+-binding assay on Golgi fractions. The properties of CALNUC and its high homology to calreticulin suggest that it may play a key role in calcium homeostasis in the CGN and cis-Golgi cisternae.

Abstract
Immuno-isolation is a powerful technique for the isolation of cells as well as subcellular organelle populations based on their antigenic properties. We have established a method for immuno-isolation of peroxisomes (PO) from both rat liver and the human hepatoblastoma cell line HepG2 using magnetic beads as solid support. A polyclonal antibody raised against the cytoplasmic C-terminal 10 amino acids of the rat 70 kDa peroxisomal membrane protein was covalently bound to magnetic beads (Dynabeads M-450). The coated beads were incubated with a light mitochondrial fraction and the organelle-bead complexes formed were separated by magnetic sorting in a free-flow system without pelleting the complexes during the isolation procedure. Scanning electron microscopy revealed decoration of beads with particles measuring 150-400 nm in diameter. The particles were identified as PO by catalase cytochemistry and biochemically by marker enzyme analysis, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) as well as immunoblotting for specific detection of peroxisomal matrix, core and membrane proteins. The functional significance of PO in man is emphasized by the existence of inherited diseases such as the Zellweger syndrome in which intact PO are lacking, but peroxisomal remnants called "ghosts" are observed instead. Peroxisomal disorders are usually studied using skin fibroblast cell lines derived from afflicted patients and immuno-magnetic separation may prove particularly useful for the investigation of such cultured cells and for further elucidation of the pathogenesis of fatal peroxisomal disorders.

Abstract
The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) transports polymeric immunoglobulins (IgA) from the basolateral to the apical surface of epithelial cells. At the apical surface, its amino-terminal domain, termed secretory component (SC), is proteolytically cleaved and released either unbound (free SC) or bound to IgA. We examined the effects of changes in water balance and vasopressin on the production and secretion of the pIgR in the rat kidney in vivo. Water deprivation induced a 2.7-fold increase in the pIgR mRNA and a 2.2-fold increase in intracellular pIgR protein compared with water-loaded animals. Physiological doses of desmopressin reproduced the effects of water deprivation on mRNA and intracellular protein levels, suggesting that pIgR expression may be regulated by a vasopressin-coupled mechanism. Secretion of free SC and secretory IgA in the urine, however, correlated directly with water intake and urine flow. These results suggest that hydration status and vasopressin may affect the mucosal immunity of the kidney by regulating at different steps the epithelial cell production and secretion of the polymeric immunoglobulin transporter/ secretory component.

GAIP is a GAP or guanosine triphosphatase-activating protein that was initially discovered by virtue of its ability to bind to the heterotrimeric G protein Galphai3, which is found on both the plasma membrane (PM) and Golgi membranes. Previously, we demonstrated that, in contrast to most other GAPs, GAIP is membrane anchored and palmitoylated. In this work we used cell fractionation and immunocytochemistry to determine with what particular membranes GAIP is associated. In pituitary cells we found that GAIP fractionated with intracellular membranes, not the PM; by immunogold labeling GAIP was found on clathrin-coated buds or vesicles (CCVs) in the Golgi region. In rat liver GAIP was concentrated in vesicular carrier fractions; it was not found in either Golgi- or PM-enriched fractions. By immunogold labeling it was detected on clathrin-coated pits or CCVs located near the sinusoidal PM. These results suggest that GAIP may be associated with both TGN-derived and PM-derived CCVs. GAIP represents the first GAP found on CCVs or any other intracellular membranes. The presence of GAIP on CCVs suggests a model whereby a GAP is separated in space from its target G protein with the two coming into contact at the time of vesicle fusion.

Abstract
Partitioning of the mammalian Golgi apparatus during cell division involves disassembly at M-phase. Despite the importance of the disassembly/reassembly pathway in Golgi biogenesis, it remains unclear whether mitotic Golgi breakdown in vivo proceeds by direct vesiculation or involves fusion with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To test whether mitotic Golgi is fused with the ER, we compared the distribution of ER and Golgi proteins in interphase and mitotic HeLa cells by immunofluorescence microscopy, velocity gradient fractionation, and density gradient fractionation. While mitotic ER appeared to be a fine reticulum excluded from the region containing the spindle-pole body, mitotic Golgi appeared to be dispersed small vesicles that penetrated the area containing spindle microtubules. After cell disruption, M-phase Golgi was recovered in two size classes. The major breakdown product, accounting for at least 75% of the Golgi, was a population of 60-nm vesicles that were completely separated from the ER using velocity gradient separation. The minor breakdown product was a larger, more heterogenously sized, membrane population. Double-label fluorescence analysis of these membranes indicated that this portion of mitotic Golgi also lacked detectable ER marker proteins. Therefore we conclude that the ER and Golgi remain distinct at M-phase in HeLa cells. To test whether the 60-nm vesicles might form from the ER at M-phase as the result of a two-step vesiculation pathway involving ER-Golgi fusion followed by Golgi vesicle budding, mitotic cells were generated with fused ER and Golgi by brefeldin A treatment. Upon brefeldin A removal, Golgi vesicles did not emerge from the ER. In contrast, the Golgi readily reformed from similarly treated interphase cells. We conclude that Golgi-derived vesicles remain distinct from the ER in mitotic HeLa cells, and that mitotic cells lack the capacity of interphase cells for Golgi reemergence from the ER. These experiments suggest that mitotic Golgi breakdown proceeds by direct vesiculation independent of the ER.

Abstract
The presence of CYP2D6 at the surface of isolated rat and human hepatocytes and its recognition by autoantibodies were reported recently. We wondered whether the unexpected outside orientation at the plasma membrane could be related to topological inversion (luminal-oriented form) of cytochrome P450 in the endoplasmic reticulum. To examine the potential role of cDNA polymorphism, a CYP2D6 variant carrying three positive charges at the amino terminus (2D6ext) was constructed and expressed in yeast. Immunoblotting, flow cytometry, and electron microscopy showed that wild-type CYP2D6 expressed in yeast was present on the outer face of the cell plasma membrane in addition to the regular microsomal location. This location reproduces the hepatocyte situation. 2D6ext expressed in yeast and COS7 cells seemed to be partially N-glycosylated and was located at the plasma membrane surface. Nevertheless, the glycosylated form was not enriched in the plasma membranes compared with microsomes. The relationship between CYP2D6 and 2D6ext topologies and catalytic competence was tested. Cumene hydroperoxide-dependent dextromethorphan demethylation was performed on microsomal vesicles after combined proteolysis and immunoinhibition experiments. CYP2D6 activity was completely abolished, whereas the glycosylated and luminal-oriented fraction of 2D6ext remained active. This suggests that a luminal-oriented glycosylated form is not involved in cytochrome P450 transport to the plasma membrane. Yeast thus reproduces the unusual CYP2D6 plasma membrane location and orientation, which do not require sequence alteration, glycosylation, or even an inverted endoluminal orientation.
