Abstract
Coat protein complex I (COPI) vesicles mediate the retrograde transfer of cargo between Golgi cisternae and from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, their roles in the cell cycle and proliferation are unclear. This study shows that TANGO6 associates with COPI vesicles via two transmembrane domains. The TANGO6 N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic fragments capture RNA polymerase II subunit B (RPB) 2 in the cis-Golgi during the G1 phase. COPI-docked TANGO6 carries RPB2 to the ER and then to the nucleus. Functional disruption of TANGO6 hinders the nuclear entry of RPB2, which accumulates in the cytoplasm, causing cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase. The conditional depletion or overexpression of TANGO6 in mouse hematopoietic stem cells results in compromised or expanded hematopoiesis. Our study results demonstrate that COPI vesicle-associated TANGO6 plays a role in the regulation of cell cycle progression by directing the nuclear transfer of RPB2, making it a potential target for promoting or arresting cell expansion.

Abstract
PURPOSE In type 2 Diabetes, β-cell failure is caused by loss of cell mass, mostly by apoptosis, but also by simple dysfunction (dedifferentiation, decline of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion). Apoptosis and dysfunction are caused, at least in part, by glucotoxicity, in which increased flux of glucose in the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway plays a role. In this study, we sought to clarify whether increased hexosamine biosynthetic pathway flux affects another important aspect of β-cell physiology, that is β-cell-β-cell homotypic interactions. METHODS We used INS-1E cells and murine islets. The expression and cellular distribution of E-cadherin and β-catenin was evaluated by immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry and western blot. Cell-cell adhesion was examined by the hanging-drop aggregation assay, islet architecture by isolation and microscopic observation. RESULTS E-cadherin expression was not changed by increased hexosamine biosynthetic pathway flux, however, there was a decrease of cell surface, and an increase in intracellular E-cadherin. Moreover, intracellular E-cadherin delocalized, at least in part, from the Golgi complex to the endoplasmic reticulum. Beta-catenin was found to parallel the E-cadherin redistribution, showing a dislocation from the plasmamembrane to the cytosol. These changes had as a phenotypic consequence a decreased ability of INS-1E to aggregate. Finally, in ex vivo experiments, glucosamine was able to alter islet structure and to decrease surface abundandance of E-cadherin and β-catenin. CONCLUSION Increased hexosamine biosynthetic pathway flux alters E-cadherin cellular localization both in INS-1E cells and murine islets and affects cell-cell adhesion and islet morphology. These changes are likely caused by alterations of E-cadherin function, highlighting a new potential target to counteract the consequences of glucotoxicity on β-cells.

Abstract
Cervical and endometrial cancers are among the most dangerous gynaecological malignancies, with high fatality and recurrence rates due to frequent diagnosis at an advanced stage and chemoresistance onset. The NRF2/KEAP1 signalling pathway plays an important role in protecting cells against oxidative damage due to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. NRF2, activated by ROS, induces the expression of antioxidant enzymes such as heme oxygenase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase which neutralize ROS, protecting cells against oxidative stress damage. However, activation of NRF2/KEAP1 signalling in cancer cells results in chemoresistance, inactivating drug-mediated oxidative stress and protecting cancer cells from drug-induced cell death. We review the literature on the role of the NRF2/KEAP1 pathway in cervical and endometrial cancers, with a focus on the expression of its components and downstream genes. We also examine the role of the NRF2/KEAP1 pathway in chemotherapy resistance and how this pathway can be modulated by natural and synthetic modulators.

Abstract
Retrograde trafficking towards the trans-Golgi network (TGN) is important for dense core vesicle (DCV) biogenesis. Here, we used Vti1a/b deficient neurons to study the impact of disturbed retrograde trafficking on Golgi organization and cargo sorting. In Vti1a/b deficient neurons, staining intensity of cis-/medial Golgi proteins (e.g., GM130 and giantin) was increased, while the intensity of two recycling TGN proteins, TGN38 and TMEM87A, was decreased and the TGN-resident protein Golgin97 was normal. Levels and localization of DCV cargo markers, LAMP1 and KDEL were also altered. This phenotype was not caused by reduced Golgi size or absence of a TGN compartment. The phenotype was partially phenocopied by disturbing sphingolipid homeostasis, but was not rescued by overexpression of sphingomyelin synthases or the sphingolipid synthesis inhibitor myriocin. We conclude that Vti1a/b are important for distinct aspects of TGN and cis-/medial Golgi organization. Our data underline the importance of retrograde trafficking for Golgi organization, DCV cargo sorting and the distribution of proteins of the regulated secretory pathway.

Abstract
Mammalian homologs of yeast Atg8 protein (mAtg8s) are important in autophagy, but their exact mode of action remains ill-defined. Syntaxin 17 (Stx17), a SNARE with major roles in autophagy, was recently shown to bind mAtg8s. Here, we identified LC3-interacting regions (LIRs) in several SNAREs that broaden the landscape of the mAtg8-SNARE interactions. We found that Syntaxin 16 (Stx16) and its cognate SNARE partners all have LIR motifs and bind mAtg8s. Knockout of Stx16 caused defects in lysosome biogenesis, whereas a Stx16 and Stx17 double knockout completely blocked autophagic flux and decreased mitophagy, pexophagy, xenophagy, and ribophagy. Mechanistic analyses revealed that mAtg8s and Stx16 control several properties of lysosomal compartments including their function as platforms for active mTOR. These findings reveal a broad direct interaction of mAtg8s with SNAREs with impact on membrane remodeling in eukaryotic cells and expand the roles of mAtg8s to lysosome biogenesis.

Abstract
Golgi S-nitro-N-acetylpenicillamine receptor complex 1 (GS28) has been implicated in Golgi vesicle transport. We examined the role of GS28 and its molecular mechanisms in sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-induced cell death using GS28 siRNA (siGS28)-transfected HeLa cells. Significant inhibition of cytotoxicity was observed in the cells treated with SNP, and photodegraded SNP showed equal cytotoxicity to SNP. Pretreatment with an ERK inhibitor or siErk1 cotransfection blocked the inhibition in cytotoxicity. Additionally, increased phosphorylation of ERK was maintained in the cells treated with SNP, and Nrf2 level was dependent on ERK phosphorylation. However, pretreatment with a pan-caspase inhibitor had no effect on cytotoxicity or procaspase-3 level. Pretreatment with an autophagy inhibitor or siATG5 cotransfection blocked the inhibition of cytotoxicity. The changes of LC3 corresponded to that in siErk1-cotransfected cells. These data suggest that GS28 has an inductive role in SNP-induced cell death via inhibition of ERK, leading to inhibition of autophagic processes in HeLa cells.

Abstract
The SNAREs Vti1a/1b are implicated in regulated secretion, but their role relative to canonical exocytic SNAREs remains elusive. Here, we show that synaptic vesicle and dense-core vesicle (DCV) secretion is indeed severely impaired in Vti1a/b-deficient neurons. The synaptic levels of proteins that mediate secretion were reduced, down to 50% for the exocytic SNARE SNAP25. The delivery of SNAP25 and DCV-cargo into axons was decreased and these molecules accumulated in the Golgi. These defects were rescued by either Vti1a or Vti1b expression. Distended Golgi cisternae and clear vacuoles were observed in Vti1a/b-deficient neurons. The normal non-homogeneous distribution of DCV-cargo inside the Golgi was lost. Cargo trafficking out of, but not into the Golgi, was impaired. Finally, retrograde Cholera Toxin trafficking, but not Sortilin/Sorcs1 distribution, was compromised. We conclude that Vti1a/b support regulated secretion by sorting secretory cargo and synaptic secretion machinery components at the Golgi.

Abstract
Glycosylation often plays a key role in the safety and efficacy of therapeutic proteins to patients, thus underlying the need for consistent control of this important post-translational modification during biologics production. In this study, we profiled the site-specific evolution of N-glycans on a CTLA4-Fc-fusion protein, from the intracellular secretory pathway to the conditioned medium (CM) in fed-batch cell culture. For this, we developed an approach that combined sub-cellular fractionation with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analyses. The study revealed that there was a significant amount of heterogeneity in the glycans displayed amongst the three distinct N-glycosylation sites. Furthermore, 54-60% of the intracellular protein was characterized by Man8 and Man9 glycans on day 10, when the cell density peaks, indicative of a significant bottleneck between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the cis-Golgi. At longer culture duration, the accumulation of intracellular protein with bi-antennary-fucosylated GlcNAc-terminated residues identified the formation of another bottleneck in the medial and trans-Golgi compartments, which subsequently led to a decrease in sialylated species in the secreted protein. Glucose deprivation caused a reduction in the Man8 and Man9 glycans in favor of Man5 glycans and bi-antennary-fucosylated GlcNAc-terminated residues in the organellar pool of the Fc-fusion protein. However, transient deprivation of glucose did not lead to major differences in the glycan profile of proteins secreted into the CM. The approach developed here allows us to probe the secretory pathway and sheds light on the site-specific intracellular processing of glycans during fed-batch cell culture, thus serving as an initial step towards their rational control.

Abstract
Aims: GS28 (Golgi SNARE protein, 28 kDa), a member of the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNARE) protein family, plays a critical role in mammalian endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi or intra-Golgi vesicle transport. To date, few researches on the GS28 protein in human cancer tissues have been reported. In this study, we assessed the prognostic value of GS28 in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods and results: We screened for GS28 expression using immunohistochemistry in 230 surgical CRC specimens. The CRCs were right-sided and left-sided in 28.3% (65/230) and 71.3% (164/230) of patients, respectively. GS28 staining results were available in 214 cases. Among these, there were 26 nuclear predominant cases and 188 non-nuclear predominant cases. Stromal GS28 expression was noted in 152 cases of CRC. GS28 nuclear predominant immunoreactivity was significantly associated with advanced tumour stage (p = 0.045) and marginally associated with perineural invasion (p = 0.064). Decreased GS28 expression in the stromal cells was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (N stage; p = 0.036). GS28 expression was not associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) immunohistochemical positivity or KRAS mutation status. Investigation of the prognostic value of GS28 with Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a correlation with overall survival (p = 0.004). Cases with GS28 nuclear predominant expression had significantly poorer overall survival than those with a non-nuclear predominant pattern. Conclusions: Taken together, these results indicate that GS28 nuclear predominant expression could serve as a prognostic marker for CRC and may help in identifying aggressive forms of CRC.

Abstract
Objective The protein GS28 (28-kDa Golgi SNARE protein) has been described as a SNARE (Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors) protein family member that plays a critical role in mammalian ER-Golgi or intra-Golgi vesicle transport. Little is known about the possible roles of GS28 in pathological conditions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate GS28 expression in cervical cancer tissues and explore its correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis. Methods We investigated GS28 expression in 177 cervical cancer tissues by using immunohistochemistry and evaluated the correlation of GS28 expression with clinicopathological features, the expression of p53 and Bcl-2, and prognosis of cervical cancer patients. Immunoblotting was performed using six freshly frozen cervical cancer tissues to confirm the subcellular localization of GS28. Results Immunoreactivity of GS28 was observed in both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments of cervical cancer cells. High nuclear expression of GS28 was associated with advanced tumor stages (P = 0.036) and negative expression of p53 (P = 0.036). In multivariate analyses, patients with high nuclear expression of GS28 showed significantly worse overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio = 3.785, P = 0.003) and progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio = 3.019, P = 0.008), compared to those with low or no nuclear expression. It was also a reliable, independent prognostic marker in subgroups of patients with early stage T1 and negative lymph node metastasis in OS (P = 0.008 and 0.019, respectively). The nuclear expression of GS28 was confirmed by immunoblotting. Conclusion High nuclear expression of GS28 is associated with poor prognosis in early-stage cervical cancer patients. GS28 might be a novel prognostic marker and a potential therapeutic target in cervical cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathological Golgi fragmentation represents a constant pre-clinical feature of many neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) but its molecular mechanisms remain hitherto unclear. RESULTS Here, we show that the severe Golgi fragmentation in transgenic mutant SOD1(G85R) and SOD1(G93A) mouse motor neurons is associated with defective polymerization of Golgi-derived microtubules, loss of the COPI coat subunit β-COP, cytoplasmic dispersion of the Golgi tether GM130, strong accumulation of the ER-Golgi v-SNAREs GS15 and GS28 as well as tubular/vesicular Golgi fragmentation. Data mining, transcriptomic and protein analyses demonstrate that both SOD1 mutants cause early presymptomatic and rapidly progressive up-regulation of the microtubule-destabilizing proteins Stathmins 1 and 2. Remarkably, mutant SOD1-triggered Golgi fragmentation and Golgi SNARE accumulation are recapitulated by Stathmin 1/2 overexpression but completely rescued by Stathmin 1/2 knockdown or the microtubule-stabilizing drug Taxol. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that Stathmin-triggered microtubule destabilization mediates Golgi fragmentation in mutant SOD1-linked ALS and potentially also in related motor neuron diseases.

Abstract
The Conserved Oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex is an evolutionarily conserved hetero-octameric protein complex that has been proposed to organize vesicle tethering at the Golgi apparatus. Defects in seven of the eight COG subunits are linked to Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG)-type II, a family of rare diseases involving misregulation of protein glycosylation, alterations in Golgi structure, variations in retrograde trafficking through the Golgi and system-wide clinical pathologies. A troublesome aspect of these diseases are the neurological pathologies such as low IQ, microcephaly, and cerebellar atrophy. The essential function of the COG complex is dependent upon interactions with other components of trafficking machinery, such as Rab-GTPases and SNAREs. COG-interacting Rabs and SNAREs have been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Defects in Golgi maintenance disrupts trafficking and processing of essential proteins, frequently associated with and contributing to compromised neuron function and human disease. Despite the recent advances in molecular neuroscience, the subcellular bases for most neurodegenerative diseases are poorly understood. This article gives an overview of the potential contributions of the COG complex and its Rab and SNARE partners in the pathogenesis of different neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Although the genes essential for life have been identified in less complex model organisms, their elucidation in human cells has been hindered by technical barriers. We used extensive mutagenesis in haploid human cells to identify approximately 2000 genes required for optimal fitness under culture conditions. To study the principles of genetic interactions in human cells, we created a synthetic lethality network focused on the secretory pathway based exclusively on mutations. This revealed a genetic cross-talk governing Golgi homeostasis, an additional subunit of the human oligosaccharyltransferase complex, and a phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase β adaptor hijacked by viruses. The synthetic lethality map parallels observations made in yeast and projects a route forward to reveal genetic networks in diverse aspects of human cell biology.

Abstract
SNARE proteins play indispensable roles in membrane fusion events in many cellular processes, including synaptic transmission and protein trafficking. Here, we characterize the Golgi SNARE protein, Gos28, and its role in rhodopsin (Rh1) transport through Drosophila photoreceptors. Mutations in gos28 lead to defective Rh1 trafficking and retinal degeneration. We have pinpointed a role for Gos28 in the intra-Golgi transport of Rh1, downstream from α-mannosidase-II in the medial- Golgi. We have confirmed the necessity of key residues in Gos28's SNARE motif and demonstrate that its transmembrane domain is not required for vesicle fusion, consistent with Gos28 functioning as a t-SNARE for Rh1 transport. Finally, we show that human Gos28 rescues both the Rh1 trafficking defects and retinal degeneration in Drosophila gos28 mutants, demonstrating the functional conservation of these proteins. Our results identify Gos28 as an essential SNARE protein in Drosophila photoreceptors and provide mechanistic insights into the role of SNAREs in neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Post-Golgi trafficking of mature VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein) is crucial in maintaining normal TAG (triacylglycerol) homoeostasis of hepatocytes; however, the mechanism that regulates the exit of mature VLDL from the TGN (trans-Golgi network) is not known. We developed an in vitro TGN-budding assay that allowed us to examine the formation of secretory vesicles from the TGN in primary rat hepatocytes. We isolated TAG-rich PG-VTVs (post-TGN VLDL transport vesicles) using a continuous sucrose density gradient. PG-VTVs were distributed in low-density fractions, whereas protein transport vesicles were present in relatively higher-density fractions of the same sucrose gradient. EM revealed large intact PG-VTVs ranging 300-350 nm in size. The biogenesis of PG-VTVs from the TGN required cytosol, ATP, GTP hydrolysis and incubation at 37°C. PG-VTVs concentrated the VLDL proteins: apolipoproteins apoB100, apoAIV, apoAI and apoE, but did not contain either albumin or transferrin. Proteinase K treatment did not degrade VLDL core proteins, suggesting that PG-VTVs were sealed. PG-VTVs were able to fuse with and deliver VLDL to the PM (plasma membrane) in a vectorial manner. We conclude that we have identified a new TGN-derived vesicle, the PG-VTV, which specifically transports mature VLDL from the TGN to the PM.

Abstract
mel-28 (maternal-effect-lethal-28) encodes a conserved protein required for nuclear envelope function and chromosome segregation in Caenorhabditis elegans. Because mel-28 is a strict maternal-effect lethal gene, its function is required in the early embryo but appears to be dispensable for larval development. We wanted to test the idea that mel-28 has postembryonic roles that are buffered by the contributions of other genes. To find genes that act coordinately with mel-28, we did an RNA interference−based genetic interaction screen using mel-28 and wild-type larvae. We screened 18,364 clones and identified 65 genes that cause sterility in mel-28 but not wild-type worms. Some of these genes encode components of the nuclear pore. In addition we identified genes involved in dynein and dynactin function, vesicle transport, and cell-matrix attachments. By screening mel-28 larvae we have bypassed the requirement for mel-28 in the embryo, uncovering pleiotropic functions for mel-28 later in development that are normally provided by other genes. This work contributes toward revealing the gene networks that underlie cellular processes and reveals roles for a maternal-effect lethal gene later in development.

Abstract
The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) is a member of the family of hnRNPs and was recently shown in a genome-wide small interfering RNA (siRNA) screen to support vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) growth. To decipher the role of hnRNP K in VSV infection, we conducted studies which suggest that the protein is required for VSV spreading. Virus binding to cells, entry, and nucleocapsid uncoating steps were not adversely affected in the absence of hnRNP K, whereas viral genome transcription and replication were reduced slightly. These results indicate that hnRNP K is likely involved in virus assembly and/or release from infected cells. Further studies showed that hnRNP K suppresses apoptosis of virus-infected cells, resulting in increased cell survival during VSV infection. The increased survival of the infected cells was found to be due to the suppression of proapoptotic proteins such as Bcl-XS and Bik in a cell-type-dependent manner. Additionally, depletion of hnRNP K resulted in not only significantly increased levels of T-cell-restricted intracellular antigen 1 (TIA1) but also switching of the expression of the two isoforms of the protein (TIA1a and TIA1b), both of which inhibited VSV replication. hnRNP K was also found to support expression of several cellular proteins known to be required for VSV infection. Overall, our studies demonstrate hnRNP K to be a multifunctional protein that supports VSV infection via its role(s) in suppressing apoptosis of infected cells, inhibiting the expression of antiviral proteins, and maintaining the expression of proteins required for the virus.

Abstract
Two distinct sets of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNARE) catalyze membrane fusion in the cis-Golgi and trans-Golgi. The mechanism that controls Golgi localization of SNAREs remains largely unknown. Here we tested three potential mechanisms, including vesicle recycling between the Golgi and the endoplasmic reticulum, partitioning in Golgi lipid microdomains, and selective intra-Golgi retention. Recycling rates showed a linear relationship with intra-Golgi mobility of SNAREs. The cis-Golgi SNAREs had higher mobility than intra-Golgi SNAREs, whereas vesicle SNAREs had higher mobility than target membrane SNAREs. The differences in SNARE mobility were not due to preferential partitioning into detergent-resistant membrane microdomains. We propose that intra-Golgi retention precludes entropy-driven redistribution of SNAREs to the endoplasmic reticulum and endocytic compartments.

Golgi-SNARE GS28 potentiates cisplatin-induced apoptosis by forming GS28-MDM2-p53 complexes and by preventing the ubiquitination and degradation of p53. Biochem J 2012; 444:303-14.

Abstract
In the present study, we observed that the Golgi-SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein-attachment protein receptor) GS28 forms a complex with p53 in HEK (human embryonic kidney)-293 cells. Given that p53 represents a tumour suppressor that affects the sensitivity of cancer cells to various chemotherapeutic drugs, we examined whether GS28 may influence the level of sensitivity to the DNA-damaging drug cisplatin. Indeed, knockdown of GS28 using short-hairpin RNA (shGS28) induced resistance to cisplatin in HEK-293 cells. On the other hand, overexpression of GS28 sensitized HEK-293 cells to cisplatin, whereas no sensitization effect was noted for the mitotic spindle-damaging drugs vincristine and taxol. Accordingly, we observed that knockdown of GS28 reduced the accumulation of p53 and its pro-apoptotic target Bax. Conversely, GS28 overexpression induced the accumulation of p53 and Bax as well as the pro-apoptotic phosphorylation of p53 on Ser(46). Further experiments showed that these cellular responses could be abrogated by the p53 inhibitor PFT-α (pifithrin-α), indicating that GS28 may affect the stability and activity of p53. The modulatory effects of GS28 on cisplatin sensitivity and p53 stability were absent in lung cancer H1299 cells which are p53-null. As expected, ectopic expression of p53 in H1299 cells restored the modulatory effects of GS28 on sensitivity to cisplatin. In addition, GS28 was found to form a complex with the p53 E3 ligase MDM2 (murine double minute 2) in H1299 cells. Furthermore, the ubiquitination of p53 was reduced by overexpression of GS28 in cells, confirming that GS28 enhances the stability of the p53 protein. Taken together, these results suggest that GS28 may potentiate cells to DNA-damage-induced apoptosis by inhibiting the ubiquitination and degradation of p53.

Abstract
Antero- and retrograde cargo transport through the Golgi requires a series of membrane fusion events. Fusion occurs at the cis- and trans-side and along the rims of the Golgi stack. Four functional SNARE complexes have been identified mediating lipid bilayer merger in the Golgi. Their function is tightly controlled by a series of reactions involving vesicle tethering and SM proteins. This network of protein interactions spatially and temporally determines the specificity of transport vesicle targeting and fusion within the Golgi.

Abstract
ORP7 is a member of oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) family, the function of which has remained obscure. In this study, we identified by yeast two-hybrid screening an interaction partner of ORP7, GATE-16, which (i) regulates Golgi SNARE of 28kDa (GS28) function and stability, and (ii) plays a role in autophagosome biogenesis. The interaction was confirmed by bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay in living cells. The interacting regions were delineated within aa 1-142 of ORP7 and aa 30-117 of GATE-16. ORP7 knock-down in 293A cells resulted in a 40% increase of GS28 protein while ORP7 overexpression had the opposite effect (25% decrease of GS28). We show evidence that the regulation of GS28 by ORP7 does not occur at the level of transcription, but involves degradation of GS28 on proteasomes. Truncated ORP7 that lacks the GATE-16 binding region failed to affect GS28 stability, evidencing for specificity of the observed effect. Similar to ORP7 overexpression, treatment of cells with 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-OH) resulted in GS28 destabilization, which was potentiated by excess ORP7 and inhibited by ORP7 silencing. Overexpression of ORP7 led in most cells to formation of vacuolar structures positive for RFP-LC3, thus representing autophagic elements. Also GATE-16 was found in the vacuolar ORP7-positive elements, suggesting that excess ORP7 increases entrapment of GATE-16 in autophagosomes. Taken together, our results suggest that ORP7 negatively regulates GS28 protein stability via sequestration of GATE-16, and may mediate the effect of 25-OH on GS28 and Golgi function.

Abstract
Intra-Golgi retrograde transport is assumed to maintain Golgi function by recycling Golgi-resident proteins to younger cisternae in the progression of entire Golgi stack from cis to trans. GS28 (Golgi SNARE of 28 kDa, also known as GOS28) is a Golgi-localized SNARE protein and has been implicated in intra-Golgi retrograde transport. However, the in vivo functions of GS28, and consequently, the roles of the intra-Golgi retrograde transport in animal development are largely unknown. In this study, we generated deletion mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans GS28 and performed a synthetic lethal RNAi screen using GS28 mutants. We found that another Golgi-localized SNARE, Ykt6, functions cooperatively with GS28 in embryonic development. During post-embryonic development, GS28 mutants exhibited reduced seam cell numbers and a missing ray phenotype under Ykt6 knockdown conditions, suggesting that cell proliferation and/or differentiation of stem cell-like seam cells are impaired in GS28- and Ykt6-depleted worms. We also demonstrated that GS28 and Ykt6 act redundantly for the proper expression of Golgi-resident proteins in adult intestinal cells. This study reveals the in vivo importance of the Golgi-localized SNAREs GS28 and Ykt6.

Abstract
Menkes disease (MD) is an X-linked recessive disorder of copper metabolism. It is caused by mutations in the ATP7A gene encoding a copper-translocating P-type ATPase, which contains six N-terminal copper-binding sites (CBS1-CBS6). Most patients die in early childhood. We investigated the functional effect of a large frameshift deletion in ATP7A (including exons 3 and 4) identified in a patient with MD with unexpectedly mild symptoms and long survival. The mutated transcript, ATP7A(Delta ex3+ex4), contains a premature termination codon after 46 codons. Although such transcripts are generally degraded by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), it was established by real-time PCR quantification that the ATP7A(Delta ex3+ex4) transcript was protected from degradation. A combination of in vitro translation, recombinant expression, and immunocytochemical analysis provided evidence that the ATP7A(Delta ex3+ex4) transcript was protected from degradation because of reinitiation of protein translation. Our findings suggest that reinitiation takes place at two downstream internal codons. The putative N-terminally truncated proteins contain only CBS5 and CBS6. Cellular localization and copper-dependent trafficking of the major part of endogenous and recombinant ATP7A(Delta ex3+ex4) proteins were similar to the wild-type ATP7A protein. Furthermore, the ATP7A(Delta ex3+ex4) cDNA was able to rescue a yeast strain lacking the homologous gene, CCC2. In summary, we propose that reinitiation of the NMD-resistant ATP7A(Delta ex3+ex4) transcript leads to the synthesis of N-terminally truncated and at-least-partially functional Menkes proteins missing CBS1-CBS4. This finding--that a mutation that would have been assumed to be null is not--highlights the need to examine the biochemical phenotype of patients to deduce the efficacy of copper therapy.

Abstract
ATP7A encodes a copper-translocating ATPase that belongs to the large family of P-type ATPases. Eight conserved regions define the core of the P-type ATPase superfamily. We report here the identification of 21 novel missense mutations in the conserved part of ATP7A that encodes the residues p.V842-p.S1404. Using the coordinates of X-ray crystal structures of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, as determined in the presence and absence of Ca(2+), we created structural homology models of ATP7A. By mapping the substituted residues onto the models, we found that these residues are more clustered three-dimensionally than expected from the primary sequence. The location of the substituted residues in conserved regions supports the functional similarities between the two types of P-type ATPases. An immunofluorescence analysis of Menkes fibroblasts suggested that the localization of a large number of the mutated ATP7A protein variants was correct. In the absence of copper, they were located in perinuclear regions of the cells, just like the wild type. However, two of the mutated ATP7A variants showed only partly correct localization, and in five cultures no ATP7A protein could be detected. These findings suggest that although a disease-causing mutation may indicate a functional significance of the affected residue, this is not always the case.

Abstract
The cellular endomembrane system requires the proper kinetic balance of synthesis and degradation of its individual components, which is maintained in part by a specific membrane fusion apparatus. In this study, we describe the molecular properties of D12, which was identified from a mouse expression library. This C-terminal anchored membrane protein has sequence similarity to both a yeast soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein (SNAP) receptor (SNARE), Use1p/Slt1p, and a recently identified human syntaxin 18-binding protein, p31. D12 formed a tight complex with syntaxin 18 as well as Sec22b and bound to alpha-SNAP, indicating that D12 is a SNARE protein. Although the majority of D12 is located in the endoplasmic reticulum and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartments at steady state, overexpression or knockdown of D12 had no obvious effects on membrane trafficking in the early secretory pathway. However, suppression of D12 expression caused rapid appearance of lipofuscin granules, accompanied by apoptotic cell death without the apparent activation of the unfolded protein response. The typical cause of lipofuscin formation is the impaired degradation of mitochondria by lysosomal degradative enzymes, and, consistent with this, we found that proper post-Golgi maturation of cathepsin D was impaired in D12-deficient cells. This unexpected observation was supported by evidence that D12 associates with VAMP7, a SNARE in the endosomal-lysosomal pathway. Hence, we suggest that D12 participates in the degradative function of lysosomes.

Abstract
Synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy (microXRF) is a powerful tool to study the two-dimensional distribution of a wide range of biologically relevant elements in tissues and cells. By growing mouse fibroblast cells directly on formvar-carbon coated electron microscopy grids, microXRF elemental maps with well-defined subcellular resolution were obtained. In order to colocalize the elemental distribution with the location of specific cellular structures and organelles, we explored the application of a commercially available secondary antibody conjugated to FluoroNanogold, a dual-label that combines a regular organic fluorophore with a 1.4 nm Au-cluster as xenobiotic label for microXRF imaging. Adherent mouse fibroblast cells were grown on silicon nitride windows serving as biocompatible XRF support substrate, and labeled with FluoroNanogold in combination with primary antibodies specific for mitochondria or the Golgi apparatus, respectively. Raster scanning of the in-air dried cells with an incident X-ray energy of 11.95 keV, sufficient to ensure excitation of the Au Lalpha line, provided two-dimensional maps with submicron resolution for Au as well as for most biologically relevant elements. MicroXRF proved to be sufficiently sensitive to image the location and structural details of the Au-labeled organelles, which correlated well with the subcellular distribution visualized by means of optical fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) in the ER has been extensively studied, whereas the molecular events during the transport of GPI-APs from the ER to the cell surface are poorly understood. Here, we established new mutant cell lines whose surface expressions of GPI-APs were greatly decreased despite normal biosynthesis of GPI-APs in the ER. We identified a gene responsible for this defect, designated PGAP2 (for Post-GPI-Attachment to Proteins 2), which encoded a Golgi/ER-resident membrane protein. The low surface expression of GPI-APs was due to their secretion into the culture medium. GPI-APs were modified/cleaved by two reaction steps in the mutant cells. First, the GPI anchor was converted to lyso-GPI before exiting the trans-Golgi network. Second, lyso-GPI-APs were cleaved by a phospholipase D after transport to the plasma membrane. Therefore, PGAP2 deficiency caused transport to the cell surface of lyso-GPI-APs that were sensitive to a phospholipase D. These results demonstrate that PGAP2 is involved in the processing of GPI-APs required for their stable expression at the cell surface.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Hepcidin is a liver-expressed peptide which plays an important role in the regulation of iron metabolism. It is a negative regulator of iron absorption and release of iron from cells. The aims of this study were to analyse the expression and localisation of prohepcidin in liver and cell lines. METHODS We generated antibodies against recombinant mouse prohepcidin and studied its expression in cell lines, primary hepatocytes and livers of normal mice and mice with abnormalities in iron metabolism. RESULTS Prohepcidin localised to the secretory pathway, primarily the Golgi apparatus in liver cells and tissues. Hfe and beta2-microglobulin knockout mice have similar levels of prohepcidin protein expression as compared to wild-type mice despite increased iron stores. Sex-linked anaemia mice have iron deficiency and no prohepcidin expression in the liver. CONCLUSIONS Prohepcidin protein is present in the secretory pathway of liver cells. Despite iron loading, mouse models of haemochromatosis have comparatively normal levels of prohepcidin expression whereas mice with iron deficiency have no prohepcidin expression.

Abstract
The highly secretory Clara cells play a pivotal role in protecting the lung against inflammation and oxidative stress. This study reports the positional cloning of a novel protein required for Clara cell physiology in mouse lung development. The perinatal lethal N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea-induced l7Rn6(4234SB) allele contained a nonsense mutation in the previously hypothetical gene NM_026304 on chromosome 7. Whereas l7Rn6 mRNA levels were indistinguishable from wild type, l7Rn6(4234SB) homozygotes exhibited decreased expression of the truncated protein, suggesting protein instability. During late gestation, l7Rn6 was widely expressed in the cytoplasm of lung epithelial cells, whereas perinatal expression was restricted to the bronchiolar epithelium. Homozygosity for the l7Rn6(4234SB) allele did not affect early steps in lung patterning, growth, or cellular differentiation. Rather, mutant lungs demonstrated severe emphysematous enlargement of the distal respiratory sacs at birth. Clara cell pathophysiology was evident from decreased cytoplasmic CCSP and SP-B protein levels, enlargement and disorganization of the Golgi complex, and formation of aberrant vesicular structures. Additional support for a role in the secretory pathway derived from l7Rn6 localization to the endoplasmic reticulum. Thus, l7Rn6 represents a novel protein required for organization and/or function of the secretory apparatus in Clara cells in mouse lung.

Abstract
MACF1 (microtubule actin crosslinking factor), also called ACF7 (actin crosslinking family 7) is a cytoskeletal linker protein that can associate with both actin filaments and microtubules. We have identified a novel alternatively spliced isoform of MACF1. We named this isoform MACF1b and renamed the original isoform MACF1a. MACF1b is identical to MACF1a, except that it has a region containing plakin (or plectin) repeats in the middle of the molecule. MACF1b is ubiquitously expressed in adult tissues with especially high levels in the lung. We studied the subcellular localization of MACF1b proteins in mammalian cell lines. In two lung cell lines, MACF1b was chiefly localized to the Golgi complex. Upon treatments that disrupt the Golgi complex, MACF1b redistributed into the cytosol, but remained co-localized with the dispersed Golgi ministacks. MACF1b proteins can be detected in the enriched Golgi fraction by western blotting. The domain of MACF1b that targets it to the Golgi was found at the N-terminal part of the region that contains the plakin repeats. Reducing the level of MACF1 proteins by small-interfering RNA resulted in the dispersal of the Golgi complex.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that inhibition of a Golgi-complex-associated lysophospholipid acyltransferase (LPAT) activity by the drug CI-976 stimulates Golgi tubule formation and subsequent redistribution of resident Golgi proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we show that CI-976 stimulates tubule formation from all subcompartments of the Golgi complex, and often these tubules formed independently, i.e. individual tubules usually did not contain markers from different subcompartments. Whereas the cis, medial and trans Golgi membranes redistributed to the ER, the trans Golgi network (TGN) collapsed back to a compact juxtanuclear position similar to that seen with brefeldin A (BFA) treatment. Also similar to BFA, CI-976 induced the formation of endosome tubules, but unlike BFA, these tubules did not fuse with TGN tubules. Finally, CI-976 produced an apparently irreversible block in the endocytic recycling pathway of transferrin (Tf) and Tf receptors (TfRs) but had no direct effect on Tf uptake from the cell surface. Tf and TfRs accumulated in centrally located, Rab11-positive vesicles indicating that CI-976 inhibits export of cargo from the central endocytic recycling compartment. These results, together with previous studies, demonstrate that CI-976 inhibits multiple membrane trafficking steps, including ones found in the endocytic and secretory pathways, and imply a wider role for lysophospholipid acyltransferases in membrane trafficking.

Abstract
We isolated a human cDNA by expression cloning and characterized its gene product as a new human protein that enables entry and infection of herpes simplex virus (HSV). The gene, designated hfl-B5, encodes a type II cell surface membrane protein, B5, that is broadly expressed in human primary tissue and cell lines. It contains a high-scoring heptad repeat at the extracellular C terminus that is predicted to form an alpha-helix for coiled coils like those in cellular SNAREs or in some viral fusion proteins. A synthetic 30-mer peptide that has the same sequence as the heptad repeat alpha-helix blocks HSV infection of B5-expressing porcine cells and human HEp-2 cells. Transient expression of human B5 in HEp-2 cells results in increased polykarocyte formation even in the absence of viral proteins. The B5 protein fulfills all criteria as a receptor or coreceptor for HSV entry. Use by HSV of a human cellular receptor, such as B5, that contains putative membrane fusion domains provides an example where a pathogenic virus with broad tropism has usurped a widely expressed cellular protein to function in infection at events that lead to membrane fusion.

Abstract
Ethanol exposure induces retention of glycoproteins in growing astrocytes. We examined the intracellular sites at which this retention occurs and investigated whether this effect is accompanied by alterations in the Golgi complex and microtubular system. We studied the effects of ethanol on the Golgi complex structure, as well as on the secretory pathway functionality by monitoring both the transport of the VSV-G protein and the protein levels of several molecules involved in the regulation of this pathway. Ethanol was found to delay VSV-G transport, modify Golgi complex morphology, and reduce the number of secretory vesicles. Moreover, ethanol affected the levels of mannosidase II, p58, betaCOP, rbet1, and several Rab GTPases. It also affected microtubule organization and polymerization and the levels of the motor proteins kinesin and dynein. Most of these effects were dose-dependent. These alterations, together with those previously reported concerning biosynthesis of glycoconjugates, provide novel insights into how ethanol impairs brain development.

Examining how key components of coat protein I (COPI) transport participate in cargo sorting, we find that, instead of ADP ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1), its GTPase-activating protein (GAP) plays a direct role in promoting the binding of cargo proteins by coatomer (the core COPI complex). Activated ARF1 binds selectively to SNARE cargo proteins, with this binding likely to represent at least a mechanism by which activated ARF1 is stabilized on Golgi membrane to propagate its effector functions. We also find that the GAP catalytic activity plays a critical role in the formation of COPI vesicles from Golgi membrane, in contrast to the prevailing view that this activity antagonizes vesicle formation. Together, these findings indicate that GAP plays a central role in coupling cargo sorting and vesicle formation, with implications for simplifying models to describe how these two processes are coupled during COPI transport.

Abstract
The TRAPP complex identified in yeast regulates vesicular transport in the early secretory pathway. Although some components of the TRAPP complex are structurally conserved in mammalian cells, the function of the mammalian components has not been examined. We describe our biochemical and functional analysis of mammalian Bet3, the most conserved component of the TRAPP complex. Bet3 mRNA is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues. Antibodies raised against recombinant Bet3 specifically recognize a protein of 22 kDa. In contrast to yeast Bet3p, the majority of Bet3 is present in the cytosol. To investigate the possible involvement of Bet3 in transport events in mammalian cells, we utilized a semi-intact cell system that reconstitutes the transport of the envelope glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-G) from the ER to the Golgi apparatus. In this system, antibodies against Bet3 inhibit transport in a dose-dependent manner, and cytosol that is immunodepleted of Bet3 is also defective in this transport. This defect can be rescued by supplementing the Bet3-depleted cytosol with recombinant GST-Bet3. We also show that Bet3 acts after COPII but before Rab1, alpha-SNAP and the EGTA-sensitive stage during ER-Golgi transport. Gel filtration analysis demonstrates that Bet3 exists in two distinct pools in the cytosol, the high-molecular-weight pool may represent the TRAPP complex, whereas the other probably represents the monomeric Bet3.

Abstract
Microarray technology has been used to discover 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)) induced gene expression changes in rat small intestine in vivo. Here, we report gene expression changes related to intestinal absorption or transport, the immune system and angiogenesis in response to 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3). Vitamin D deficient rats were intrajugularly given vehicle or vehicle containing 730 ng of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)/kg of body weight. Intestinal mRNA was harvested from duodenal mucosa at 15 min, 1, 3, and 6 h post-injection and studied by Affymetrix microarrays. Genes significantly affected by 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) were confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR with remarkable agreement. The most strongly affected gene in intestine was CYP24 with 97-fold increase at 6 h post-1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) treatment. Intestinal calcium absorption genes: TRPV5, TRPV6, calbindin D(9k), and Ca(2+) dependent ATPase all were up-regulated in response to 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3), supporting the currently accepted mechanism of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) induced transcellular calcium transport. However, a 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) suppression of several intra-/intercellular matrix modeling proteins such as sodium/potassium ATPase, claudin 3, aquaporin 8, cadherin 17, and RhoA suggests a vitamin D regulation of tight junction permeability and paracellular calcium transport. Several other genes related to the immune system and angiogenesis whose expression was changed in response to 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) provided evidence for an immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenic role of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3).

Abstract
The transmembrane domain (TM) and flanking regions of glycosyltransferases (GTs) have been implicated in the localization of these proteins in the Golgi apparatus (GA). alpha3/4 Fucosyltransferase III (FT3wt) (EC 2.4.1.65) is localized in the trans-Golgi and trans-Golgi network (TGN) of baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells and synthesizes Lewis determinants associated with cell adhesion events. We have evaluated the effect of removing the cytosolic domain on the localization of the enzyme and its capacity for synthesizing the Lewis A (Le A) determinant. The mutant where the cytoplasmic domain (Asp-2 to Trp-13) of FT3wt has been deleted (FT3dc) was localized in the Golgi but it was shifted to earlier compartments than FT3wt. The mutant was not detected on the plasma membrane (PM) and glycosylation analysis indicated that FT3dc was transported beyond the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) since complex type glycosylation was observed. Cells expressing FT3dc showed a significantly lower efficiency to synthesize Le A when compared with cells expressing FT3wt, in vivo. This reduction was not due to lower specific activity because both enzyme forms had a similar specific activity in vitro. Therefore, removal of FT3 cytosolic tail caused a shift in enzyme distribution to earlier Golgi compartments concomitant to the decrease of its biosynthetic capacity.

Abstract
Oxysterols play a significant role in cholesterol homeostasis. 25-Hydroxycholesterol (25HC) in particular has been demonstrated to regulate cholesterol homeostasis via oxysterol-binding protein and oxysterol-related proteins, the sterol regulatory element binding protein, and the rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis, hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase. We have examined the effect of 25HC on pigmentation of cultured murine melanocytes and demonstrated a decrease in pigmentation with an IC(50) of 0.34 microM and a significant diminution in levels of melanogenic protein tyrosinase. Pulse-chase studies of 25HC-treated cells demonstrated enhanced degradation of tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme of melanin synthesis, following endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi maturation. Protein levels of GS28, a member of an ER/cis-Golgi SNARE protein complex, were also diminished in 25HC-treated melanocytes, however levels of the ER chaperone calnexin and the cis-Golgi matrix protein GM130 were unaffected. Effects of 25HC on tyrosinase were completely reversed by 4 alpha-allylcholestan-3 alpha-ol, a sterol identified by its ability to reverse effects of 25HC on cholesterol homeostasis. Finally, the addition of 25HC to lipid deficient serum inhibited correct processing of tyrosinase. We conclude that 25HC acts in the Golgi compartment to regulate pigmentation by a mechanism shared with cholesterol homeostasis.

Abstract
An in vitro transport assay, established with a modified Shiga toxin B subunit (STxB) as a marker, has proved to be useful for the study of transport from the early/recycling endosome (EE/RE) to the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Here, we modified this assay to test antibodies to all known soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) that have been shown to localize in the Golgi and found that syntaxin 5, GS28, Ykt6, and GS15 antibodies specifically inhibited STxB transport. Because syntaxin 5, GS28, Ykt6, and GS15 exist as a unique SNARE complex, our observation indicates that these four SNAREs function as a complex in EE/RE-TGN transport. The importance of GS15 in EE/RE-TGN transport was further demonstrated by a block in recombinant STxB transport in HeLa cells when GS15 expression was knocked down by its small interfering iRNA. Morphological analyses showed that some GS15 and Ykt6 were redistributed from the Golgi to the endosomes when the recycling endosome was perturbed by SNX3-overexpression, suggesting that GS15 and Ykt6 might cycle between the endosomes and the Golgi apparatus. Further studies indicated that syntaxin 5 and syntaxin 16 exerted their role in EE/RE-TGN transport in an additive manner. The kinetics of inhibition exhibited by syntaxin 16 and syntaxin 5 antibodies is similar.

Abstract
The conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex is a soluble hetero-octamer associated with the cytoplasmic surface of the Golgi. Mammalian somatic cell mutants lacking the Cog1 (ldlB) or Cog2 (ldlC) subunits exhibit pleiotropic defects in Golgi-associated glycoprotein and glycolipid processing that suggest COG is involved in the localization, transport, and/or function of multiple Golgi processing proteins. We have identified a set of COG-sensitive, integral membrane Golgi proteins called GEARs (mannosidase II, GOS-28, GS15, GPP130, CASP, giantin, and golgin-84) whose abundances were reduced in the mutant cells and, in some cases, increased in COG-overexpressing cells. In the mutants, some GEARs were abnormally localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and were degraded by proteasomes. The distributions of the GEARs were altered by small interfering RNA depletion of epsilon-COP in wild-type cells under conditions in which COG-insensitive proteins were unaffected. Furthermore, synthetic phenotypes arose in mutants deficient in both epsilon-COP and either Cog1 or Cog2. COG and COPI may work in concert to ensure the proper retention or retrieval of a subset of proteins in the Golgi, and COG helps prevent the endoplasmic reticulum accumulation and degradation of some GEARs.

Abstract
We report the caspase-dependent cleavage of two Golgi-associated transport factors during apoptosis. The tethering factor giantin is rapidly cleaved both in vitro and in vivo at a conserved site, to generate a stable membrane-anchored domain and a soluble domain that is subject to further caspase-dependent cleavage. The t-SNARE syntaxin 5 is also cleaved rapidly, resulting in the separation of the catalytic membrane-proximal domain from an N-terminal regulatory domain. Cleavage of giantin and syntaxin 5 is accompanied by a cessation of vesicular transport between the ER and the Golgi complex, which first manifests itself as a block in ER exit. The contribution that such an inhibition of trafficking may make towards the generation of an apoptotic phenotype is discussed.

Abstract
Genetic and biochemical evidence has established that a SNARE complex consisting of syntaxin 5 (Sed5)-mYkt6 (Ykt6)-GOS28 (Gos1)-GS15 (Sft1) is required for transport of proteins across the Golgi stack in animals (yeast). We have utilized quantitative immunogold labeling to establish the cis-trans distribution of the v-SNARE GS15 and the t-SNARE subunits GOS28 and syntaxin 5. Whereas the distribution of the t-SNARE is nearly even across the Golgi stack from the cis to the trans side, the v-SNARE GS15 is present in a gradient of increasing concentration toward the trans face of the stack. This contrasts with a second distinct SNARE complex, also required for intra-Golgi transport, consisting of syntaxin 5 (Sed5)-membrin (Bos1)-ERS24 (Sec22)-rBet1 (Bet1), whose v-(rBet1) and t-SNARE subunits (membrin and ERS24), progressively decrease in concentration toward the trans face. Transport within the stack therefore appears to utilize countercurrent gradients of two Golgi SNAREpins and may involve a mechanism akin to homotypic fusion.

Abstract
Rab7 and Rab34 are implicated in regulation of lysosomal morphology and they share a common effector referred to as the RILP (Rab-interacting lysosomal protein). Two novel proteins related to RILP were identified and are tentatively referred to as RLP1 and RLP2 (for RILP-like protein 1 and 2, respectively). Overexpression of RILP caused enlarged lysosomes that are positioned more centrally in the cell. However, the morphology and distribution of lysosomes were not affected by overexpression of either RLP1 or RLP2. The molecular basis for the effect of RILP on lysosomes was investigated, leading to the demonstration that a 62-residue region (amino acids 272-333) of RILP is necessary for RILP's role in regulating lysosomal morphology. Remarkably, transferring this 62-residue region unique to RILP into corresponding sites in RLP1 rendered the chimeric protein capable of regulating lysosome morphology. A correlation between the interaction with GTP-bound form of both Rab proteins and the capability of regulating lysosomes was established. These results define a unique region in RILP responsible for its specific role in regulating lysosomal morphology as well as in its interaction with Rab7 and Rab34.
