Abstract
Anisotropic cell expansion is crucial for the morphogenesis of land plants, as cell migration is restricted by the rigid cell wall. The anisotropy of cell expansion is regulated by mechanisms acting on the deposition or modification of cell wall polysaccharides. Besides the polysaccharide components in the cell wall, a layer of hydrophobic cuticle covers the outer cell wall and is subjected to tensile stress that mechanically restricts cell expansion. However, the molecular machinery that deposits cuticle materials in the appropriate spatiotemporal manner to accommodate cell and tissue expansion remains elusive. Here, we report that PpABCB14, an ATP-binding cassette transporter in the moss Physcomitrium patens, regulates the anisotropy of cell expansion. PpABCB14 localized to expanding regions of leaf cells. Deletion of PpABCB14 resulted in impaired anisotropic cell expansion. Unexpectedly, the cuticle proper was reduced in the mutants, and the cuticular lipid components decreased. Moreover, induced PpABCB14 expression resulted in deformed leaf cells with increased cuticle lipid accumulation on the cell surface. Taken together, PpABCB14 regulates the anisotropy of cell expansion via cuticle deposition, revealing a regulatory mechanism for cell expansion in addition to the mechanisms acting on cell wall polysaccharides.

Abstract
DNA topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) plays general roles in DNA replication and transcription by regulating DNA topology in land plants and metazoans. TOP1 is also involved in specific developmental events; however, whether TOP1 plays a conserved developmental role among multicellular organisms is unknown. Here, we investigated the developmental roles of TOP1 in the moss Physcomitrium (Physcomitrella) patens with gene targeting, microscopy, 3D image segmentation and crossing experiments. We discovered that the disruption of TOP1α, but not its paralogue TOP1β, leads to a defect in fertilisation and subsequent sporophyte formation in P. patens. In the top1α mutant, the egg cell was functional for fertilisation, while sperm cells were fewer and infertile with disordered structures. We observed that the nuclei volume of wild-type sperm cells synchronously decreases during antheridium development, indicating chromatin condensation towards the compact sperm head. By contrast, the top1α mutant exhibited attenuated cell divisions and asynchronous and defective contraction of the nuclei of sperm cells throughout spermatogenesis. These results indicate that TOP1α is involved in cell division and chromatin condensation during spermatogenesis in P. patens. Our results suggest that the regulation of DNA topology by TOP1 plays a key role in spermatogenesis in both land plants and metazoans.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) occurs in 10% to 20% of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), resulting in a poor short- and long-term prognosis. Reducing the amount of contrast medium can prevent CI-AKI.
Objectives
This study aimed to examine the feasibility and safety of non-contrast PCI in patients with ACS.
Methods
The study was a prospective and single-center registry. Successful non-contrast PCI was confirmed when contrast medium was not injected from the guiding catheter engagement to wire removal in ad-hoc PCI. Coronary angiography after the PCI procedure was permitted once. CI-AKI was defined as an increase in the serum creatinine of ≥0.5 mg/dL from or ≥1.25 times the baseline within 72 hours after PCI. Worsening renal function (WRF) was defined as an increase in the serum creatinine of ≥0.3 mg/dL from baseline after the PCI.
Results
The present study included 106 lesions from 81 patients. Forty-eight lesions were (45%) type C lesions. Successful non-contrast PCI was performed in 95 lesions (90%). CI-AKI was observed in 4 (5%); coronary perforation, 0; no/slow flow, 9 (11%); periprocedural death, 0. The follow-up period was 348 (190–492) days. Successful non-contrast PCI was not associated with the incidence of CI-AKI. However, WRF at 6-month was observed in 18 individuals (22%). Successful non-contrast PCI was inversely associated with WRF (hazard ratio, 0.28; 95% confidence interval, 0.09–0.90) after adjustment for renal function.
Conclusions
The present study suggests that non-contrast PCI is feasible and safe in ACS patients with complex lesions.

Abstract
DNA damage can result from intrinsic cellular processes and from exposure to stressful environments. Such DNA damage generally threatens genome integrity and cell viability1. However, here we report that the transient induction of DNA strand breaks (single-strand breaks, double-strand breaks or both) in the moss Physcomitrella patens can trigger the reprogramming of differentiated leaf cells into stem cells without cell death. After intact leafy shoots (gametophores) were exposed to zeocin, an inducer of DNA strand breaks, the STEM CELL-INDUCING FACTOR 1 (STEMIN1)2 promoter was activated in some leaf cells. These cells subsequently initiated tip growth and underwent asymmetric cell divisions to form chloronema apical stem cells, which are in an earlier phase of the life cycle than leaf cells and have the ability to form new gametophores. This DNA-strand-break-induced reprogramming required the DNA damage sensor ATR kinase, but not ATM kinase, together with STEMIN1 and closely related proteins. ATR was also indispensable for the induction of STEMIN1 by DNA strand breaks. Our findings indicate that DNA strand breaks, which are usually considered to pose a severe threat to cells, trigger cellular reprogramming towards stem cells via the activity of ATR and STEMINs.

Abstract
Epigenetic modifications, including histone modifications, stabilize cell-specific gene expression programmes to maintain cell identities in both metazoans and land plants1-3. Notwithstanding the existence of these stable cell states, in land plants, stem cells are formed from differentiated cells during post-embryonic development and regeneration4-6, indicating that land plants have an intrinsic ability to regulate epigenetic memory to initiate a new gene regulatory network. However, it is less well understood how epigenetic modifications are locally regulated to influence the specific genes necessary for cellular changes without affecting other genes in a genome. In this study, we found that ectopic induction of the AP2/ERF transcription factor STEMIN1 in leaf cells of the moss Physcomitrella patens decreases a repressive chromatin mark, histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), on its direct target genes before cell division, resulting in the conversion of leaf cells to chloronema apical stem cells. STEMIN1 and its homologues positively regulate the formation of secondary chloronema apical stem cells from chloronema cells during development. Our results suggest that STEMIN1 functions within an intrinsic mechanism underlying local H3K27me3 reprogramming to initiate stem cell formation.

Abstract
MIKC classic (MIKCC)-type MADS-box genes encode transcription factors that function in various developmental processes, including angiosperm floral organ identity. Phylogenetic analyses of the MIKCC-type MADS-box family, including genes from non-flowering plants, suggest that the increased numbers of these genes in flowering plants is related to their functional divergence; however, their precise functions in non-flowering plants and their evolution throughout land plant diversification are unknown. Here, we show that MIKCC-type MADS-box genes in the moss Physcomitrella patens function in two ways to enable fertilization. Analyses of protein localization, deletion mutants and overexpression lines of all six genes indicate that three MIKCC-type MADS-box genes redundantly regulate cell division and growth in the stems for appropriate external water conduction, as well as the formation of sperm with motile flagella. The former function appears to be maintained in the flowering plant lineage, while the latter was lost in accordance with the loss of sperm.

Abstract
Both land plants and metazoa have the capacity to reprogram differentiated cells to stem cells. Here we show that the moss Physcomitrella patens Cold-Shock Domain Protein 1 (PpCSP1) regulates reprogramming of differentiated leaf cells to chloronema apical stem cells and shares conserved domains with the induced pluripotent stem cell factor Lin28 in mammals. PpCSP1 accumulates in the reprogramming cells and is maintained throughout the reprogramming process and in the resultant stem cells. Expression of PpCSP1 is negatively regulated by its 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR). Removal of the 3′-UTR stabilizes PpCSP1 transcripts, results in accumulation of PpCSP1 protein and enhances reprogramming. A quadruple deletion mutant of PpCSP1 and three closely related PpCSP genes exhibits attenuated reprogramming indicating that the PpCSP genes function redundantly in cellular reprogramming. Taken together, these data demonstrate a positive role of PpCSP1 in reprogramming, which is similar to the function of mammalian Lin28. Land plants and metazoans are both able to reprogram differentiated cells to stem cells under certain circumstances. Here the authors show that the moss CSP1 protein, which shares conserved domains with the mammalian pluripotent stem cell factor Lin28, promotes reprogramming of leaf cells to apical stem cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulinoma is a tumour of insulin-producing cells of the pancreas and is known to be one of the causes of hypoglycaemia. Usually, appropriate removal of the insulinoma results in normalization of blood glucose levels. However, we found novel cases of insulinoma, in which hyperglycaemia developed soon after resection of the insulinoma. CASE REPORT We encountered two patients with repeated hypoglycaemia caused by insulinoma. Following removal of the insulinoma, unanticipated hyperglycaemia was observed in both patients. Thereafter, their blood tests revealed low levels of serum C-peptide and high titres of anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody, indicating concomitant Type 1 diabetes. Indeed, histological examination of the resected specimen revealed that one patient showed insulitis in non-tumorous pancreatic tissue in which β-cells had already disappeared. Moreover, inflammatory cells infiltrated the insulinoma, as if it were insulitis of Type 1 diabetes, suggesting the existence of anti-islet autoimmunity. CONCLUSION These are first cases of insulinoma associated with underlying Type 1 diabetes. Physicians should be aware of the possibility that insulinoma may mask Type 1 diabetes, and measurement of anti-islet autoantibodies may be helpful to find underlying Type 1 diabetes, such as in these cases. It is pathologically interesting that the immune cell infiltration into insulinoma may be suggestive of anti-islet autoimmunity.

Abstract
Nutrient starvation induces autophagy to degrade cytoplasmic materials in the vacuole/lysosomes. In the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Atg17, Atg29, and Atg31/Cis1 are specifically required for autophagosome formation by acting as a scaffold complex essential for pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS) organization. Here, we show that these proteins constitutively form an Atg17-Atg29-Atg31 ternary complex, in which phosphorylated Atg31 is included. Reconstitution analysis of the ternary complex in E. coli indicates that the three proteins are included in equimolar amounts in the complex. The molecular mass of a monomeric Atg17-Atg29-Atg31 complex is calculated at 97kDa; however, analytical ultracentrifugation shows that the molecular mass of the ternary complex is 198kDa, suggesting a dimeric complex. We propose that this ternary complex acts as a functional unit for autophagosome formation.

Abstract
Autophagy induced by nutrient depletion is involved in survival during starvation conditions. In addition to starvation-induced autophagy, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae also has a constitutive autophagy-like system, the Cvt pathway. Among 31 autophagy-related (Atg) proteins, the function of Atg17, Atg29, and Atg31 is required specifically for autophagy. In this study, we investigated the role of autophagy-specific (i.e., non-Cvt) proteins under autophagy-inducing conditions. For this purpose, we used atg11Delta cells in which the Cvt pathway is abrogated. The autophagy-unique proteins are required for the localization of Atg proteins to the pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS), the putative site for autophagosome formation, under starvation condition. It is likely that these Atg proteins function as a ternary complex, because Atg29 and Atg31 bind to Atg17. The Atg1 kinase complex (Atg1-Atg13) is also essential for recruitment of Atg proteins to the PAS. The assembly of Atg proteins to the PAS is observed only under autophagy-inducing conditions, indicating that this structure is specifically involved in autophagosome formation. Our results suggest that Atg1 complex and the autophagy-unique Atg proteins cooperatively organize the PAS in response to starvation signals.

Abstract
Autophagy is the bulk degradation of cytosolic materials in lysosomes/vacuoles of eukaryotic cells. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 17 Atg proteins are known to be involved in autophagosome formation. Genome wide analyses have shown that Atg17 interacts with numerous proteins. Further studies on these interacting proteins may provide further insights into membrane dynamics during autophagy. Here, we identify Cis1/Atg31 as a protein that exhibits similar phenotypes to Atg17. ATG31 null cells were defective in autophagy and lost viability under starvation conditions. Localization of Atg31 to pre-autophagosomal structures (PAS) was dependent on Atg17. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments indicated that Atg31 interacts with Atg17. Together, Atg31 is a novel protein that, in concert with Atg17, is required for proper autophagosome formation.

Abstract
The etiology of diabetic neuropathy is multifactorial and not fully elucidated, although oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are major factors. We reported previously that complement-inactivated sera from type 2 diabetic patients with neuropathy induce apoptosis in cultured neuronal cells, possibly through an autoimmune immunoglobulin-mediated pathway. Recent evidence supports an emerging role for autophagy in a variety of diseases. Here we report that exposure of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells to sera from type 2 diabetic patients with neuropathy is associated with increased levels of autophagosomes that is likely mediated by increased titers of IgM or IgG autoimmune immunoglobulins. The increased presence of macroautophagic vesicles was monitored using a specific immunohistochemical marker for autophagosomes, anti-LC3-II immunoreactivity, as well as the immunohistochemical signal for beclin-1, and was associated with increased co-localization with mitochondria in the cells exposed to diabetic neuropathic sera. We also report that dorsal root ganglia removed from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats exhibit increased levels of autophagosomes and co-localization with mitochondria in neuronal soma, concurrent with enhanced binding of IgG and IgM autoimmune immunoglobulins. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence that the presence of autophagosomes is increased by a serum factor, likely autoantibody(ies) in a pathological condition. Stimulation of autophagy by an autoantibody-mediated pathway can provide a critical link between the immune system and the loss of function and eventual demise of neuronal tissue in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, nutrient starvation induces the bulk degradation of cellular materials; this process is called autophagy. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, most of the ATG (autophagy) genes are involved in not only the process of degradative autophagy, but also a biosynthetic process, the cytoplasm to vacuole (Cvt) pathway. In contrast, the ATG17 gene is required specifically in autophagy. To better understand the function of Atg17, we have performed a biochemical characterization of the Atg17 protein. We found that the atg17delta mutant under starvation condition was largely impaired in autophagosome formation and only rarely contained small autophagosomes, whose size was less than one-half of normal autophagosomes in diameter. Two-hybrid analyses and coimmunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that Atg17 physically associates with Atg1-Atg13 complex, and this binding was enhanced under starvation conditions. Atg17-Atg1 binding was not detected in atg13delta mutant cells, suggesting that Atg17 interacts with Atg1 through Atg13. A point mutant of Atg17, Atg17(C24R), showed reduced affinity for Atg13, resulting in impaired Atg1 kinase activity and significant defects in autophagy. Taken together, these results indicate that Atg17-Atg13 complex formation plays an important role in normal autophagosome formation via binding to and activating the Atg1 kinase.

Abstract
Rat LC3, a homologue of yeast Atg8 (Aut7/Apg8), localizes to autophagosomal membranes after post-translational modifications. The C-terminal fragment of LC3 is cleaved immediately following synthesis to yield a cytosolic form called LC3-I. A subpopulation of LC3-I is further converted to an autophagosome-associating form, LC3-II. Because yeast Atg8 is conjugated with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) by a ubiquitin-like system, it has been hypothesized that LC3 is modified in a similar manner. Here, we show that [(14)C]-ethanolamine was preferentially incorporated into LC3-II, suggesting that LC3-II is a PE-conjugated form. LC3-II can be a substrate of mammalian Atg4B, a homologue of yeast Atg8-PE deconjugase, supporting the idea that LC3-II is LC3-PE. Moreover, two other mammalian homologues of yeast Atg8, gamma-aminobutyric-acid-type-A-receptor-associated protein (GABARAP) and Golgi-associated ATPase enhancer of 16 kDa (GATE16) also generate form II, which are recovered in membrane fractions. Generation of the form II correlates with autophagosome association of GABARAP and GATE16. These results suggest that all mammalian Atg8 homologues receive a common modification to associate with autophagosomal membrane as the form II.

Abstract
We show that insulin-dependent signals regulate azurophil granule-selective macroautophagy in human myeloid cells. Depletion of insulin from an insulin-transferrin-supplemented serum-free medium caused growth retardation of myeloblastic HL-60 cells, in which sequestration of electronic-dense cytoplasmic materials by autophagosomes was observed. Positive immunoreactivity with anti-CD68, anti-cathepsin D, and anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies indicated that the sequestrated materials were azurophil granules, the granulocyte/macrophage lineage-specific lysosome-like particles. By contrast, other organelles, including the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus remained intact, indicating that the macroautophagy selectively targeted azurophil granules. The addition of insulin induced rapid activations of p70S6K and Akt, and the cells were rescued from macroautophagy. Rapamycin, an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin, did not block the insulin-mediated rescue from macroautophagy, although it nullified the activation of p70S6K and cell growth. Low doses of LY294002, a phosphatidyl-inositol-3-kinase inhibitor, which abolished cell growth and p70S6K activity but did not influence Akt activity, did not block the insulin-mediated rescue either. By contrast, low doses of Akt-specific inhibitors, which inhibited neither cell growth nor p70S6K activity, completely blocked the insulin-mediated rescue from macroautophagy. Thus, insulin-dependent signals are responsible for the control of azurophil granule-selective macroautophagy via Akt-dependent pathways, while p70S6K-dependent pathways promote cell growth.

Abstract
Mammalian enzymes in late cholesterol biosynthesis have been localized uniformly over the endoplasmic reticulum by enzymatic methods. We report here the first mammalian cholesterol biosynthetic enzyme unequivocally localized at the surface of intracellular lipid storage droplets. NAD(P)H steroid dehydrogenase-like protein (Nsdhl), a mammalian C-3 sterol dehydrogenase involved in the conversion of lanosterol into cholesterol, was localized on lipid droplets by immunofluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation. Nsdhl was localized on lipid droplets even when cell growth exclusively depended on cholesterol biosynthesis mediated by this enzyme. Depletion of fatty acids in culture medium reduced the development of lipid droplets and caused Nsdhl redistribution to the endoplasmic reticulum. Elevating oleic acid in medium induced well developed, Nsdhl-positive lipid droplets, and simultaneously caused a reduction in cellular conversion of lanosterol into cholesterol. Manipulated human NSDHL with a missense mutation (G205S) causing a human embryonic developmental disorder, congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform nevus and limb defects (CHILD) syndrome, could no longer be localized on lipid droplets. Although the expression of wild-type NSDHL could restore the defective growth of a CHO cholesterol auxotroph, LEX2 in cholesterol-deficient medium, the expression of NSDHL(G205S) failed to do so. These results point to functional significance of the localization of Nsdhl on lipid droplets. Functional significance was also suggested by the colocalization of Nsdhl on lipid droplets with TIP47, a cargo selection protein for mannose 6-phosphate receptors from late endosomes to the trans-Golgi network. These results add to the growing notion that the lipid droplet is an organelle endowed with more complex roles in various biological phenomena.

Abstract
Mouse SKD1 AAA ATPase is involved in the sorting and transport from endosomes; cells overexpressing a dominant-negative mutant, SKD1(E235Q) were defective in endosomal transport to both the plasma membranes and lysosomes (Yoshimori et al., 2000). In the present study, we demonstrated that overexpression of SKD1(E235Q) using an adenovirus delivery system caused a defect in autophagy-dependent bulk protein degradation. Morphological observations suggested that this inhibition of autophagy results from an impairment of autolysosome formation. SKD1(E235Q) overexpression also inhibited transport from endosomes to autophagosomes, an event normally occurring prior to fusion with lysosomes. These results indicate that SKD1-dependent endosomal membrane trafficking is required for formation of autolysosomes.

Abstract
Autophagy is an intracellular bulk protein degradation system. Beclin is known to be involved in this process; however, its role is unclear. In this study, we showed that Beclin was co-immunoprecipitated with phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase, which is also required for autophagy, suggesting that Beclin is a component of the PtdIns 3-kinase complex. Quantitative analyses using a cross-linker showed that all Beclin forms a complex with PtdIns 3-kinase, whereas approximately 50% of PtdIns 3-kinase remains free from Beclin. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated that the majority of Beclin and PtdIns 3-kinase localize to the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Some PtdIns 3-kinase is also distributed in the late endosome. These results suggest that Beclin and PtdIns 3-kinase control autophagy as a complex at the TGN.

Abstract
In macroautophagy, cytoplasmic components are delivered to lysosomes for degradation via autophagosomes that are formed by closure of cup-shaped isolation membranes. However, how the isolation membranes are formed is poorly understood. We recently found in yeast that a novel ubiquitin-like system, the Apg12-Apg5 conjugation system, is essential for autophagy. Here we show that mouse Apg12-Apg5 conjugate localizes to the isolation membranes in mouse embryonic stem cells. Using green fluorescent protein-tagged Apg5, we revealed that the cup-shaped isolation membrane is developed from a small crescent-shaped compartment. Apg5 localizes on the isolation membrane throughout its elongation process. To examine the role of Apg5, we generated Apg5-deficient embryonic stem cells, which showed defects in autophagosome formation. The covalent modification of Apg5 with Apg12 is not required for its membrane targeting, but is essential for involvement of Apg5 in elongation of the isolation membranes. We also show that Apg12-Apg5 is required for targeting of a mammalian Aut7/Apg8 homologue, LC3, to the isolation membranes. These results suggest that the Apg12-Apg5 conjugate plays essential roles in isolation membrane development.

Abstract
Little is known about the protein constituents of autophagosome membranes in mammalian cells. Here we demonstrate that the rat microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), a homologue of Apg8p essential for autophagy in yeast, is associated to the autophagosome membranes after processing. Two forms of LC3, called LC3-I and -II, were produced post-translationally in various cells. LC3-I is cytosolic, whereas LC3-II is membrane bound. The autophagic vacuole fraction prepared from starved rat liver was enriched with LC3-II. Immunoelectron microscopy on LC3 revealed specific labelling of autophagosome membranes in addition to the cytoplasmic labelling. LC3-II was present both inside and outside of autophagosomes. Mutational analyses suggest that LC3-I is formed by the removal of the C-terminal 22 amino acids from newly synthesized LC3, followed by the conversion of a fraction of LC3-I into LC3-II. The amount of LC3-II is correlated with the extent of autophagosome formation. LC3-II is the first mammalian protein identified that specifically associates with autophagosome membranes.

Abstract
Autophagy and the Cvt pathway are examples of nonclassical vesicular transport from the cytoplasm to the vacuole via double-membrane vesicles. Apg8/Aut7, which plays an important role in the formation of such vesicles, tends to bind to membranes in spite of its hydrophilic nature. We show here that the nature of the association of Apg8 with membranes changes depending on a series of modifications of the protein itself. First, the carboxy-terminal Arg residue of newly synthesized Apg8 is removed by Apg4/Aut2, a novel cysteine protease, and a Gly residue becomes the carboxy-terminal residue of the protein that is now designated Apg8FG. Subsequently, Apg8FG forms a conjugate with an unidentified molecule "X" and thereby binds tightly to membranes. This modification requires the carboxy-terminal Gly residue of Apg8FG and Apg7, a ubiquitin E1-like enzyme. Finally, the adduct Apg8FG-X is reversed to soluble or loosely membrane-bound Apg8FG by cleavage by Apg4. The mode of action of Apg4, which cleaves both newly synthesized Apg8 and modified Apg8FG, resembles that of deubiquitinating enzymes. A reaction similar to ubiquitination is probably involved in the second modification. The reversible modification of Apg8 appears to be coupled to the membrane dynamics of autophagy and the Cvt pathway.

Abstract
The cloned alpha 1-subunits of the smooth muscle Ca(2+) channel (alpha (1C-b)) from rabbit lung were expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The effect of large depolarizations was examined using cell-attached patch clamp techniques. After large, long-duration depolarizations (to +80 mV, 4 s), the cloned smooth muscle Ca(2+) channels were still open, and also showed slow channel closure upon repolarization. The sum of unitary channel currents revealed that the tail current seen after large conditioning depolarizations had a slower deactivation time constant compared to that seen when the cell membrane was depolarized briefly with a test step (to +40 mV), suggesting that large depolarizations transform the conformation of the Ca(2+) channels to a second open state. The decay time course of the tail current induced by large conditioning depolarizations was prolonged by reducing the negativity of the repolarization step, and vice versa. Using the slow deactivating characteristic, the current-voltage relationship was directly measured by applying a ramp pulse after a large depolarization. Its slope conductance was approximately 26 pS. Since the patch pipettes contained Ca(2+) agonists, the transition of the Ca(2+) channel conformation to the second, long open state during a large depolarization was distinct from that caused by Ca(2+) agonists, suggesting that the cloned alpha 1-subunits of smooth muscle Ca(2+) channels preserve the characteristic features seen in native smooth muscle Ca(2+) channels. In addition, when skeletal muscle beta-subunits were coexpressed with the alpha 1-subunits, the long channel openings after large, long-duration depolarizations were frequently suppressed. This phenomenon could be explained if the skeletal muscle beta-subunits increased the inactivation rate during the preconditioning depolarization.

Abstract
The mouse SKD1 is an AAA-type ATPase homologous to the yeast Vps4p implicated in transport from endosomes to the vacuole. To elucidate a possible role of SKD1 in mammalian endocytosis, we generated a mutant SKD1, harboring a mutation (E235Q) that is equivalent to the dominant negative mutation (E233Q) in Vps4p. Overexpression of the mutant SKD1 in cultured mammalian cells caused defect in uptake of transferrin and low-density lipoprotein. This was due to loss of their receptors from the cell surface. The decrease of the surface transferrin receptor (TfR) was correlated with expression levels of the mutant protein. The mutant protein displayed a perinuclear punctate distribution in contrast to a diffuse pattern of the wild-type SKD1. TfR, the lysosomal protein lamp-1, endocytosed dextran, and epidermal growth factor but not markers for the secretory pathway were accumulated in the mutant SKD1-localized compartments. Degradation of epidermal growth factor was inhibited. Electron microscopy revealed that the compartments were exaggerated multivesicular vacuoles with numerous tubulo-vesicular extensions containing TfR and endocytosed horseradish peroxidase. The early endosome antigen EEA1 was also redistributed to these aberrant membranes. Taken together, our findings suggest that SKD1 regulates morphology of endosomes and membrane traffic through them.
