Abstract
Extracellular vesicles-mediated exchange of miRNA cargos between diverse types of mammalian cells is a major mechanism of controlling cellular miRNA levels and activity, thus regulating the expression of miRNA-target genes in both donor and recipient cells. Despite tremendous excitement related to extracellular vesicles-associated miRNAs as biomarkers or having therapeutic potential, the mechanism of selective packaging of miRNAs into endosomes and multivesicular bodies for subsequent extracellular export is poorly studied due to the lack of an in vitro assay system. Here, we have developed an in vitro assay with endosomes isolated from mammalian macrophage cells to follow miRNA packaging into endocytic organelles. The synthetic miRNAs, used in the assay, get imported inside the isolated endosomes during the in vitro reaction and become protected from RNase in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The selective miRNA accumulation inside endosomes requires both ATP and GTP hydrolysis and the miRNA-binding protein HuR. The HuR-miRNA complex binds and stimulates the endosomal RalA GTPase to facilitate the import of miRNAs into endosomes and their subsequent export as part of the extracellular vesicles. The endosomal targeting of miRNAs is also very much dependent on the endosome maturation process that is controlled by Rab5 protein and ATP. In summary, we provide an in vitro method to aid in the investigation of the mechanism of miRNA packaging process for its export from mammalian macrophage cells.

Abstract
While the role of endocytosis in focal adhesion turnover-coupled cell migration has been established in addition to its conventional role in cellular functions, the molecular regulators and precise molecular mechanisms that underlie this process remain largely unknown. In this study, we report that proto-oncoprotein hematopoietic PBX-interacting protein (HPIP) localizes to focal adhesions as well as endosomal compartments along with RUN FYVE domain-containing protein 3 (RUFY3) and Rab5, an early endosomal protein. HPIP contains two coiled-coil domains (CC1 and CC2) that are necessary for its association with Rab5 and RUFY3 as CC domain double mutant, that is, mtHPIPΔCC1-2 failed to support it. Furthermore, we show that HPIP and RUFY3 activate Rab5 by serving as noncanonical guanine nucleotide exchange factors of Rab5. In support of this, either deletion of coiled-coil domains or silencing of HPIP or RUFY3 impairs Rab5 activation and Rab5-dependent cell migration. Mechanistic studies further revealed that loss of HPIP or RUFY3 expression severely impairs Rab5-mediated focal adhesion disassembly, FAK activation, fibronectin-associated-β1 integrin trafficking, and thus cell migration. Together, this study underscores the importance of HPIP and RUFY3 as noncanonical guanine nucleotide exchange factors of Rab5 and in integrin trafficking and focal adhesion turnover, which implicates in cell migration.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Although Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) causes serious fish epidemics worldwide, the detailed mechanism of MSRV entry into host cells remains unknown. Here, we comprehensively investigated the mechanism of MSRV entry into epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC) cells. This study demonstrated that MSRV enters EPC cells via a low pH, dynamin-dependent, microtubule-dependent, and clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Subsequently, MSRV transports from early endosomes to late endosomes and further into lysosomes in a microtubule-dependent manner. The characterization of MSRV entry will further advance the understanding of rhabdovirus cellular entry pathways and provide novel targets for antiviral drug against MSRV infection.

Abstract
Rab GTPases are important regulators of intracellular vesicular trafficking. RAB5C is a member of the Rab GTPase family that plays an important role in the endocytic pathway, membrane protein recycling and signaling. Here we report on 12 individuals with nine different heterozygous de novo variants in RAB5C. All but one patient with missense variants (n = 9) exhibited macrocephaly, combined with mild-to-moderate developmental delay. Patients with loss of function variants (n = 2) had an apparently more severe clinical phenotype with refractory epilepsy and intellectual disability but a normal head circumference. Four missense variants were investigated experimentally. In vitro biochemical studies revealed that all four variants were damaging, resulting in increased nucleotide exchange rate, attenuated responsivity to guanine exchange factors and heterogeneous effects on interactions with effector proteins. Studies in C. elegans confirmed that all four variants were damaging in vivo and showed defects in endocytic pathway function. The variant heterozygotes displayed phenotypes that were not observed in null heterozygotes, with two shown to be through a dominant negative mechanism. Expression of the human RAB5C variants in zebrafish embryos resulted in defective development, further underscoring the damaging effects of the RAB5C variants. Our combined bioinformatic, in vitro and in vivo experimental studies and clinical data support the association of RAB5C missense variants with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by macrocephaly and mild-to-moderate developmental delay through disruption of the endocytic pathway.

Abstract
Despite their significance in receptor-mediated internalization and continued signal transduction in cells, early/sorting endosomes (EE/SE) remain incompletely characterized, with many outstanding questions that surround the dynamics of their size and number. While several studies have reported increases in EE/SE size and number resulting from endocytic events, few studies have addressed such dynamics in a methodological and quantitative manner. Herein we apply quantitative fluorescence microscopy to measure the size and number of EE/SE upon internalization of two different ligands: transferrin and epidermal growth factor. Additionally, we used siRNA knock-down to determine the involvement of 5 different endosomal RAB proteins (RAB4, RAB5, RAB8A, RAB10 and RAB11A) in EE/SE dynamics. Our study provides new information on the dynamics of endosomes during endocytosis, an important reference for researchers studying receptor-mediated internalization and endocytic events.

Abstract
Complement activation and Rab GTPase trafficking are commonly observed in inflammatory responses. Recruitment of innate immune cells to sites of infection or injury and secretion of inflammatory chemokines are promoted by complement component 5a (C5a) that activates the cell surface protein C5a receptor1 (C5aR1). Persistent activation can lead to a myriad of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Here, we demonstrate that the mechanism of C5a induced chemotaxis of human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDMs) and their secretion of inflammatory chemokines are controlled by Rab5a. We find that C5a activation of the G protein coupled receptor C5aR1 expressed on the surface of HMDMs, recruits β-arrestin2 via Rab5a trafficking, then activates downstream phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling that culminates in chemotaxis and secretion of pro-inflammatory chemokines from HMDMs. High-resolution lattice light-sheet microscopy on live cells showed that C5a activates C5aR1-GFP internalization and colocalization with Rab5a-tdTomato but not with dominant negative mutant Rab5a-S34N-tdTomato in HEK293 cells. We found that Rab5a is significantly upregulated in differentiated HMDMs and internalization of C5aR1 is dependent on Rab5a. Interestingly, while knockdown of Rab5a inhibited C5aR1-mediated Akt phosphorylation, it did not affect C5aR1-mediated ERK1/2 phosphorylation or intracellular calcium mobilization in HMDMs. Functional analysis using transwell migration and µ-slide chemotaxis assays indicated that Rab5a regulates C5a-induced chemotaxis of HMDMs. Further, C5aR1 was found to mediate interaction of Rab5a with β-arrestin2 but not with G proteins in HMDMs. Furthermore, C5a-induced secretion of pro-inflammatory chemokines (CCL2, CCL3) from HMDMs was attenuated by Rab5a or β-arrestin2 knockdown or by pharmacological inhibition with a C5aR1 antagonist or a PI3K inhibitor. These findings reveal a C5a-C5aR1-β-arrestin2-Rab5a-PI3K signaling pathway that regulates chemotaxis and pro-inflammatory chemokine secretion in HMDMs and suggests new ways of selectively modulating C5a-induced inflammatory outputs.

Abstract
Transmembrane proteins are internalized by clathrin- and caveolin-dependent endocytosis. Both pathways converge on early endosomes and are thought to share the small GTPase Rab5 as common regulator. In contrast to this notion, we show here that the clathrin- and caveolin-mediated endocytic pathways are differentially regulated. Rab5 and Rab21 localize to distinct populations of early endosomes in cortical neurons and preferentially regulate clathrin- and caveolin-mediated pathways, respectively, suggesting heterogeneity in the early endosomes, rather than a converging point. Suppression of Rab21, but not Rab5, results in decreased plasma membrane localization and total protein levels of caveolin-1, which perturbs immature neurite pruning of cortical neurons, an in vivo-specific step of neuronal maturation. Taken together, our data indicate that clathrin- and caveolin-mediated endocytic pathways run in parallel in early endosomes, which show different molecular regulation and physiological function.

Abstract
The posttranscriptional control of gene expression mediated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is essential to determine tumor cell fate. HuR is an RBP with increased expression in various cancer types. This study aimed to clarify the regulatory mechanism of HuR's contribution to breast cancer (BC) cell proliferation by inducing RAB5C expression. First, we analyzed the expression level of HuR and RAB5C in BC tissues and cell lines by immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR, and western blot. Next, to further investigate the effect of HuR on RAB5C expression, we used short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) to silence endogenous HuR expression in BC cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-231. The binding site of RAB5C mRNA and HuR was confirmed by RNA immunoprecipitation. Finally, the function of RAB5C was investigated using flow cytometry, colony formation, and MTT assays. We found that the expression of HuR and RAB5C was significantly upregulated in BC tissues and MCF-7 and MDA-MB231 cell lines. Importantly, RAB5C mRNA stability was increased through binding of HuR to its 3'UTR. Inhibition of HuR expression using shRNA decreased RAB5C mRNA, suggesting that HuR plays a role in regulating RAB5C expression level. In addition, suppression of RAB5C expression reduced BC cell growth. These results suggest RAB5C functions as an oncogene in BC cells, HuR promoted BC cell survival by facilitating RAB5C expression. Our findings suggest that HuR and RAB5C play important roles in BC cell survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy resistance is a major cause of recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Increasing evidence indicates that lncRNA BCAR4 is involved in the occurrence and development of various cancers. However, the effect of BCAR4 on CRC chemotherapy resistance remains unclear. METHODS Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression levels of gene and protein, respectively. The role of BCAR4 in drug resistance was evaluated by cell viability and apoptosis experiments. Luciferase reporter assay and Western blot analysis confirmed the relationship between BCAR4, miR-483-3p, and RAB5C. RESULTS Luciferase reporter assay and Western blotting analysis confirmed the relationship among BCAR4, miR-483-3p, and RAB5C. The results showed that the expression levels of BCAR4 and RAB5C were increased in CRC tumor tissue. The expression levels of BCAR4 were increased in patients with chemotherapy resistance. Functional analysis showed that knockdown of BCAR4 reduced the expression levels of proteins related to stemness, decreased the activity of cells, and promoted apoptosis of CRC cells, while overexpression of RAB5C reversed these effects. Moreover, the results showed that BCAR4 promoted oxaliplatin resistance by inhibiting cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, BCAR4 sponged miR-483-3p and promoted the expression of RAB5C. Knockdown of BCAR4 reduced tumor size and enhanced cell sensitivity to oxaliplatin in vivo. CONCLUSION The results suggested that BCAR4/miR-483-3p/RAB5C axis has the potential to be explored as a novel therapeutic target for CRC treatment.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a highly contagious virus that causes severe vesicular disease of cloven-hoofed animals. Various endocytosis mechanisms are involved in the entry of FMDV after binding to the integrin and heparan sulfate (HS) receptors. However, the mechanism of FMDV using other unknown receptors to enter the cells remains unclear. Here, we reported that the endocytosis and endosomal pathways are employed by FMDV to invade the Chinese hamster ovary cell line (CHO-677) without the integrin and HS receptors. We demonstrated that the internalization of FMDV into CHO-677 cells was abrogated by chlorpromazine, an inhibitor of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Knockdown of the clathrin heavy chain decreased the viral protein abundance. Incubation of the CHO-677 cells with the inhibitors of caveolae-mediated endocytosis or transfection by caveolin-1 siRNA also limited FMDV replication. In addition, we determined that the acidic environment and the existence of dynamin were essential for FMDV infection in CHO-677 cells. The endosomal proteins Rab5 (early endosome) and Rab7 (late endosome), but not Rab11 (recycling endosome), were utilized by FMDV during infection. These data provide a new entry model of FMDV by unknown receptors which will help to better understand the pathogenesis mediated by FMDV.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of continuing exercise and load-bearing interval exercise on skeletal muscle tissue cell morphology, Ras-related proteins 5 (Rab5) mRNA and protein expression and glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) rats. Methods: Eight SD rats were selected as controls group (CR), the others SD rats were fed with high fat and high sugar diet for 6 weeks before injecting STZ (35 mg/kg) to construct the T2DM model. Twenty-four T2DM rats were randomly devided into T2DM model group (DRM), continuing exercise group (DCRE) and load-bearing interval exercise group (DWRE), 8 rats in each group. DCRE exercise protocol, that was 15 m/min (10 min), 20 m/min (40 min), 15 m/min (10 min), during the first 1~2 weeks, and 18 m/min (10 min), 25 m/min (40 min), 15 m/min (10 min), during the second 3~8 weeks. DWRE exercise protocol: load weight 15% / 1~2 weeks, 30% / 3~4 weeks, 45% / 5~8 weeks, with 15 m/min (5 min), 12 groups and 3 min rest between groups. After 8 weeks, pathological and morphological changes of skeletal muscle were observed by HE. Rab5 and Glucose transporte 4 (GLUT4) mRNA expressions of skeletal muscle were tested by qRT-PCR. Rab5 protein expression in skeletal muscle was tested by immunofluorescence histochemistry and Western blot, and plasma Rab5 and Glycosylated Hemoglobin (GHb) concentrations were detected by ELISA. Results: Comparison with CR, DRM showed pathological damage of skeletal muscle, the expressions of Rab5 mRNA, protein and GLUT4 mRNA were all decreased in skeletal muscle (P<0.01), the serum levels of Rab5 and GHb were both significantly elevated (P<0.01). Comparison with DRM, both DCRE and DWRE significantly improved pathological damages of skeletal muscle, the expressions of Rab5 mRNA, protein and GLUT4 mRNA were all increased in skeletal muscle (P< 0.05, P<0.01), the serum levels of Rab5 and GHb were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and there was no statistical difference between DCRE and DWRE groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Two exercise modes can improve the pathological injury of skeletal muscle in type 2 diabetic rats, and enhance GLUT4 transport capacity by improving the expression of Rab5 gene and protein in skeletal muscle, and alleviate the imbalance of glucose metabolism homeostasis in skeletal muscle. However, there was no significant difference between the effects of two exercise modes on Rab5 protein and glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Maturation of megakaryocytes culminates with extensive membrane rearrangements necessary for proplatelet formation. Mechanisms required for proplatelet extension and origin of membranes are still poorly understood. GTPase Rab5 (Ras-related protein in brain 5) regulates endocytic uptake and homotypic fusion of early endosomes and regulates phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate production important for binding of effector proteins during early-to-late endosomal/lysosomal maturation. Approach and Results: To investigate the role of Rab5 in megakaryocytes, we expressed GFP (green fluorescent protein)-coupled Rab5 wild type and its point mutants Q79L (active) and N133L (inactive) in primary murine fetal liver-derived megakaryocytes. Active Rab5 Q79L induced the formation of enlarged early endosomes, while inactive Rab5 N133L caused endosomal fragmentation. Consistently, an increased amount of transferrin internalization in Rab5 Q79L was impaired in Rab5 N133L expressing megakaryocytes, when compared with GFP or Rab5 wild type. Moreover, trafficking of GPIbβ (glycoprotein Ib subunit beta), a subunit of major megakaryocytes receptor and membrane marker, was found to be mediated by Rab5 activity. While GPIbβ was mostly present along the plasma membrane, and within cytoplasmic vesicles in Rab5 wild type megakaryocytes, it accumulated in the majority of Rab5 Q79L enlarged endosomes. Conversely, Rab5 N133L caused mostly GPIbβ plasma membrane retention. Furthermore, Rab5 Q79L expression increased incorporation of the membrane dye (PKH26), indicating higher membrane content. Finally, while Rab5 Q79L increased proplatelet production, inactive Rab5 N133L strongly inhibited it and was coupled with a decrease in late endosomes/lysosomes. Localization of GPIbβ in enlarged endosomes was phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate dependent. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our results demonstrate that Rab5-dependent endocytosis plays an important role in megakaryocytes receptor trafficking, membrane formation, and thrombopoiesis.

Abstract
Endocytosis and endosome dynamics are controlled by proteins of the small GTPase Rab family. Besides possible recycling routes to the plasma membrane and various organelles, previously described endocytic pathways (e.g., clathrin-mediated endocytosis, macropinocytosis, CLIC/GEEC pathway) all appear to funnel the endocytosed material to Rab5-positive early endosomes that then mature into Rab7-positive late endosomes/lysosomes. By studying the uptake of a series of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), we identify an endocytic pathway that moves material to nonacidic Lamp1-positive late endosomes. Trafficking via this endocytic route is fully independent of Rab5 and Rab7 but requires the Rab14 protein. The pathway taken by CPPs differs from the conventional Rab5-dependent endocytosis at the stage of vesicle formation already, as it is not affected by a series of compounds that inhibit macropinocytosis or clathrin-mediated endocytosis. The Rab14-dependent pathway is also used by physiological cationic molecules such as polyamines and homeodomains found in homeoproteins.

Abstract
Choroideremia-like (CHML) has been demonstrated to be related to the development of urothelial carcinoma, multiple myeloma, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Whereas, the association between CHML and lung cancer remains dimness. CHML expression was analyzed in NSCLC patients from TCGA dataset and evaluated in our collected NSCLC tissues and NSCLC cell lines. The effects of CHML on the proliferation and apoptosis of NSCLC were investigated in A549 and H1299 cells that downregulation of CHML as well as in H1299-induced xenograft mouse model. An upstream miRNA of CHML was further analyzed. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis and co-immunoprecipitation assay were carried out to explore the mechanism of CHML in NSCLC. We found CHML expression was upregulated in NSCLC patients and cell lines compared with their controls. Knockdown of CHML suppressed the viability and BrdU-positive cell number, and elevated the proportion of Tunel-positive cells and levels of Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved-caspase-3 in NSCLC cells. In mouse models, downregulation of CHML decreased tumor volume and weight, attenuated Ki-67 staining, whereas elevated numbers of Tunel-positive cells, and upregulated levels of Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved-caspase-3. CHML was demonstrated to be a target of miR-199a-3p. miR-199a-3p inhibitor significantly promoted the proliferation, and attenuated the apoptosis of H1299 cells, which were abrogated by CHML silencing. CHML promoted the proliferation of NSCLC cells via directly binding to Rab5A. Taken together, this study revealed that CHML was an oncogene in NSCLC and it could promote the proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of NSCLC cells through binding to Rab5A. CHML was targeted by miR-199a-3p in this cancer.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), is currently infecting millions of people worldwide and is causing drastic changes in people’s lives. Recent studies have shown that neurological symptoms are a major issue for people infected with SARS-CoV-2. However, the mechanism through which the pathological effects emerge is still unclear. Brain endothelial cells (ECs), one of the components of the blood–brain barrier, are a major hurdle for the entry of pathogenic or infectious agents into the brain. They strongly express angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) for its normal physiological function, which is also well-known to be an opportunistic receptor for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, facilitating their entry into host cells. First, we identified rapid internalization of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) S1 domain (S1) and active trimer (Trimer) of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein through ACE2 in brain ECs. Moreover, internalized S1 increased Rab5, an early endosomal marker while Trimer decreased Rab5 in the brain ECs. Similarly, the permeability of transferrin and dextran was increased in S1 treatment but decreased in Trimer, respectively. Furthermore, S1 and Trimer both induced mitochondrial damage including functional deficits in mitochondrial respiration. Overall, this study shows that SARS-CoV-2 itself has toxic effects on the brain ECs including defective molecular delivery and metabolic function, suggesting a potential pathological mechanism to induce neurological signs in the brain.

Abstract
The Scar/WAVE complex drives actin nucleation during cell migration. Interestingly, the same complex is important in forming membrane ruffles during macropinocytosis, a process mediating nutrient uptake and membrane receptor trafficking. Mammalian CYRI-B is a recently described negative regulator of the Scar/WAVE complex by RAC1 sequestration, but its other paralogue, CYRI-A, has not been characterized. Here, we implicate CYRI-A as a key regulator of macropinosome formation and integrin internalization. We find that CYRI-A is transiently recruited to nascent macropinosomes, dependent on PI3K and RAC1 activity. CYRI-A recruitment precedes RAB5A recruitment but follows sharply after RAC1 and actin signaling, consistent with it being a local inhibitor of actin polymerization. Depletion of both CYRI-A and -B results in enhanced surface expression of the α5β1 integrin via reduced internalization. CYRI depletion enhanced migration, invasion, and anchorage-independent growth in 3D. Thus, CYRI-A is a dynamic regulator of macropinocytosis, functioning together with CYRI-B to regulate integrin trafficking.

Abstract
Prototype foamy virus (PFV) is a member of the oldest family of retroviruses and maintains lifelong latent infection in the host. The lifelong latent infection of PFV may be maintained by the restriction factors of viral replication in the host. However, the mechanisms involved in PFV latent infection are poorly understood. Here, we found that TBC1D16, a TBC domain-containing protein, is significantly down-regulated after PFV infection. Tre2/Bub2/Cdc16 (TBC) domain-containing proteins function as Rab GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) and are participates in the progression of some diseases and many signaling pathways. However, whether TBC proteins are involved in PFV replication has not been determined. Here, we found that TBC1D16 is a novel antiviral protein that targets Rab5C to suppress PFV replication. Overexpression TBC1D16 inhibited the transcription and expression of Tas and Gag, and silencing TBC1D16 enhanced the PFV replication. Moreover, the highly conserved amino acid residues R494 and Q531 in the TBC domain of TBC1D16 were essential for inhibiting PFV replication. We also found that TBC1D16 promoted the production of PFV-induced IFN-β and the transcription of downstream genes. These results suggest that TBC1D16 might be the first identified TBC proteins that inhibited PFV replication and the mechanism by which TBC1D16 inhibited PFV replication could provide new insights for PFV latency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioma is a common primary intracranial tumor, with high infiltration and aggression. Propofol (Pro) is associated with growth and metastasis in glioma. Meanwhile, circular RNA non-SMC condensin I complex subunit G (circNCAPG; hsa_circ_0007244) has been reported to be upregulated in glioma. This study explored the role and mechanism of circNCAPG in Pro-induced glioma progression. METHODS Cell viability was determined by cell counting kit-8 assay. Levels of circNCAPG, microRNA-200a-3p (miR-200a-3p), and member RAS oncogene family (RAB5A) were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Colony number, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were analyzed by colony formation, flow cytometry, wound healing, and transwell assays. Matrix metallopeptidase 2, matrix metallopeptidase 9, and RAB5A protein levels were detected by Western blot assay. The binding relationship between miR-200a-3p and circNCAPG or RAB5A was predicted by starBase 2.0 and then verified by a dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. The biological roles of circNCAPG and Pro on glioma tumor growth were examined by the xenograft tumor model in vivo. RESULTS Expression of circNCAPG and RAB5A was upregulated, and miR-200a-3p was decreased in glioma tissues and cells, while their expression presented an opposite trend in Pro-treated glioma cells. Moreover, circNCAPG overexpression could abolish Pro-mediated proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion in glioma cells in vitro. Mechanically, circNCAPG could regulate RAB5A expression by sponging miR-200a-3p. Pro blocked glioma tumor growth in vivo by modulating circNCAPG. CONCLUSIONS Pro could inhibit glioma cell growth and metastasis through the circNCAPG/miR-200a-3p/RAB5A axis, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for glioma treatment.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment exerts a critical role in cancer progression and metastasis. Exosomes, cell-cell communicators and major players of the tumor microenvironment are considered as a serious mediator of cancer metastasis. Here, we determined the effect of RAB5A gene on the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells particularly whether RAB5A could affect HCC metastasis via regulating the pro-invasive content of exosomes. In response to RAB5A knockdown, we analyzed the proliferation rate and migration capability of HCC cells. Then, we estimated changes in the total protein composition of exosomes via analyzing the expression of exosomal markers, CD63 and Alix. Thereafter, alterations of the pro-invasive content of exosomes were functionally evaluated using matrigel invasion assay. Our results revealed that knockdown of RAB5A could decrease HCC cell proliferation rate and migration capability significantly. Moreover, no significant changes in the expression of exosomal CD63 and Alix reflected that no differences might be occurred in protein composition of RAB5A knockdown cell-derived exosomes. Matrigel invasion assay functionally showed that exosomes-derived from RAB5A knockdown cells still had pro-invasive properties and their pro-invasive content was not affected in response to RAB5A knockdown. In conclusion, we believe that our results propose a new explanation about RAB5A and metastatic potentials of exosomes-derived from HCC cells.

Abstract
Mutations in the human ALS2 gene cause recessive juvenile-onset amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and related motor neuron diseases. Although the ALS2 protein has been identified as a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor for the small GTPase Rab5, its physiological roles remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the Drosophila homologue of ALS2 (dALS2) promotes postsynaptic development by activating the Frizzled nuclear import (FNI) pathway. dALS2 loss causes structural defects in the postsynaptic subsynaptic reticulum (SSR), recapitulating the phenotypes observed in FNI pathway mutants. Consistently, these developmental phenotypes are rescued by postsynaptic expression of the signaling-competent C-terminal fragment of Drosophila Frizzled-2 (dFz2). We further demonstrate that dALS2 directs early to late endosome trafficking and that the dFz2 C terminus is cleaved in late endosomes. Finally, dALS2 loss causes age-dependent progressive defects resembling ALS, including locomotor impairment and brain neurodegeneration, independently of the FNI pathway. These findings establish novel regulatory roles for dALS2 in endosomal trafficking, synaptic development, and neuronal survival.

Abstract
Notch and Wnt are two essential signalling pathways that help to shape animals during development and to sustain adult tissue homeostasis. Although they are often active at the same time within a tissue, they typically have opposing effects on cell fate decisions. In fact, crosstalk between the two pathways is important in generating the great diversity of cell types that we find in metazoans. Several different mechanisms have been proposed that allow Notch to limit Wnt signalling, driving a Notch-ON/Wnt-OFF state. Here we explore these different mechanisms in human cells and demonstrate two distinct mechanisms by which Notch itself, can limit the transcriptional activity of β-catenin. At the membrane, independently of DSL ligands, Notch1 can antagonise β-catenin activity through an endocytic mechanism that requires its interaction with Deltex and sequesters β-catenin into the membrane fraction. Within the nucleus, the intracellular domain of Notch1 can also limit β-catenin induced transcription through the formation of a complex that requires its interaction with RBPjκ. We believe these mechanisms contribute to the robustness of cell-fate decisions by sharpening the distinction between opposing Notch/Wnt responses.

Abstract
Filopodia are slender actin-rich plasma membrane protrusions that function to drive cell migration and invasion. Despite the observation of defective filopodia formation in many malignant tumors, the regulation mechanism remained unknown to date. In the present study, for the first time, we demonstrate that RAB5A, a Rab GTPase family protein, is a potent regulator of filopodia formation in pancreatic cancer cells. High expression of RAB5A was associated with filopodia formation and migration in pancreatic cancer cells. Overexpression of RAB5A promoted filopodia formation and migration in CF Pac-1 cells. In contrast, down-regulation of RAB5A expression in SW1990 cells with a high endogenous RAB5A expression level impeded the formation of filopodia. Further analysis indicated that RAB5A was required for cdc42 activation in CF Pac-1 and SW1990 cells. Moreover, to investigate the underlying mechanism by which the activation of cdc42 mediates RAB5A-induced filopodia formation, the active state of β1-integrin was examined in cells with different expression levels of RAB5A. We observed that RAB5A regulated the accumulation of the active β1-integrin. We demonstrated that down-regulation of the expression of β1-integrin strongly suppressed filopodia formation and cdc42 activation mediated by RAB5A. These results indicate the important role of RAB5A in the regulation of filopodia formation in pancreatic cancer cells, which is dependent on the activation of cdc42 and β1-integrin.

Abstract
Rab GTPases are essentially molecular switches. They serve as master regulators in intracellular membrane trafficking from the formation and transport of vesicles at the originating organelle to its fusion to the membrane at the target organelle. Their functions are diversified and each has their specific subcellular location. Their expression may vary significantly in the same cell when the level of protein production is significantly different in different physiologic status. One of the best examples is the transition from fetal to mature status of cells. Expression and localization of Rab GTPases in mature and developing brains have not been well studied. Immunohistochemistry is an efficient way in the detection, semiquantitation, and localization of Rab GTPases in tissue sections. It is inexpensive and fast which allow efficient mass screening of many sections. In this chapter, we describe the immunohistochemical assay protocol for analyzing several Rab protein expressions of the Rab5 subfamily, including Rab5, Rab17, Rab22, and Rab31, in developmental (fetal) and mature human brains.

Abstract
The glucagon receptor (GCGR) activated by the peptide hormone glucagon is a seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that regulates blood glucose levels. Ubiquitination influences trafficking and signaling of many GPCRs, but its characterization for the GCGR is lacking. Using endocytic colocalization and ubiquitination assays, we have identified a correlation between the ubiquitination profile and recycling of the GCGR. Our experiments revealed that GCGRs are constitutively ubiquitinated at the cell surface. Glucagon stimulation not only promoted GCGR endocytic trafficking through Rab5a early endosomes and Rab4a recycling endosomes, but also induced rapid deubiquitination of GCGRs. Inhibiting GCGR internalization or disrupting endocytic trafficking prevented agonist-induced deubiquitination of the GCGR. Furthermore, a Rab4a dominant negative (DN) that blocks trafficking at recycling endosomes enabled GCGR deubiquitination, whereas a Rab5a DN that blocks trafficking at early endosomes eliminated agonist-induced GCGR deubiquitination. By down-regulating candidate deubiquitinases that are either linked with GPCR trafficking or localized on endosomes, we identified signal-transducing adaptor molecule-binding protein (STAMBP) and ubiquitin-specific protease 33 (USP33) as cognate deubiquitinases for the GCGR. Our data suggest that USP33 constitutively deubiquitinates the GCGR, whereas both STAMBP and USP33 deubiquitinate agonist-activated GCGRs at early endosomes. A mutant GCGR with all five intracellular lysines altered to arginines remains deubiquitinated and shows augmented trafficking to Rab4a recycling endosomes compared with the WT, thus affirming the role of deubiquitination in GCGR recycling. We conclude that the GCGRs are rapidly deubiquitinated after agonist-activation to facilitate Rab4a-dependent recycling and that USP33 and STAMBP activities are critical for the endocytic recycling of the GCGR.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) causes significant morbidity and mortality in humans worldwide. HSV-1 enters epithelial cells via an endocytosis mechanism that is low-pH dependent. However, the precise intracellular pathway has not been identified, including the compartment where fusion occurs. In this study, we utilized a combination of molecular and pharmacological approaches to better characterize HSV entry by endocytosis. HSV-1 entry was unaltered in both cells treated with small interfering RNA (siRNA) to Rab5 or Rab7 and cells expressing dominant negative forms of these GTPases, suggesting entry is independent of the conventional endo-lysosomal network. The fungal metabolite brefeldin A (BFA) and the quinoline compound Golgicide A (GCA) inhibited HSV-1 entry via beta-galactosidase reporter assay and impaired incoming virus transport to the nuclear periphery, suggesting a role for trans-Golgi network (TGN) functions and retrograde transport in HSV entry. Silencing of Rab9 or Rab11 GTPases, which are involved in the retrograde transport pathway, resulted in only a slight reduction in HSV infection. Together, these results suggest that HSV enters host cells by an intracellular route independent of the lysosome-terminal endocytic pathway.IMPORTANCE Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), the prototype alphaherpesvirus, is ubiquitous in the human population and causes lifelong infection that can be fatal in neonatal and immunocompromised individuals. HSV enters many cell types by endocytosis, including epithelial cells, the site of primary infection in the host. The intracellular itinerary for HSV entry remains unclear. We probed the potential involvement of several Rab GTPases in HSV-1 entry and suggest that endocytic entry of HSV-1 is independent of the canonical lysosome-terminal pathway. A nontraditional endocytic route may be employed, such as one that intersects with the trans-Golgi network (TGN). These results may lead to novel targets for intervention.

Abstract
Neuronal endosomal dysfunction, the earliest known pathobiology specific to Alzheimer's disease (AD), is mediated by the aberrant activation of Rab5 triggered by APP-β secretase cleaved C-terminal fragment (APP-βCTF). To distinguish pathophysiological consequences specific to overactivated Rab5 itself, we activate Rab5 independently from APP-βCTF in the PA-Rab5 mouse model. We report that Rab5 overactivation alone recapitulates diverse prodromal and degenerative features of AD. Modest neuron-specific transgenic Rab5 expression inducing hyperactivation of Rab5 comparable to that in AD brain reproduces AD-related Rab5-endosomal enlargement and mistrafficking, hippocampal synaptic plasticity deficits via accelerated AMPAR endocytosis and dendritic spine loss, and tau hyperphosphorylation via activated glycogen synthase kinase-3β. Importantly, Rab5-mediated endosomal dysfunction induces progressive cholinergic neurodegeneration and impairs hippocampal-dependent memory. Aberrant neuronal Rab5-endosome signaling, therefore, drives a pathogenic cascade distinct from β-amyloid-related neurotoxicity, which includes prodromal and neurodegenerative features of AD, and suggests Rab5 overactivation as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Enterovirus A71 (EVA71) and Coxsackievirus A10 (CVA10) are representative types of Enterovirus A. Dependent on the host cell types, the EVA71 entry may utilize clathrin-, caveola-, and endophilin-A2-mediated endocytosis. However, the cell-entry and intracellular trafficking pathways of CVA10, using KREMEN1 as its receptor, are unclear. Here, we tested the relevant mechanisms through RNA interference (RNAi) and chemical inhibitors. We found that endocytosis of EVA71 and CVA10 in rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells engaged multiple pathways, and both viruses required Rac1. Interestingly, while CDC42 and Pak1 participated in EVA71 infection, PI3K played a role in CVA10 infection. The functions of Rab proteins in intracellular trafficking of CVA10 and EVA71 were examined by RNAi. Knockdown of Rab5 and Rab21 significantly reduced CVA10 infectivity, while knockdown of Rab5, Rab7 and Rab9 reduced EVA71 infectivity. Confocal microscopy confirmed the colocalization of CVA10 virions with Rab5 or Rab21, and colocalization of EVA71 virions with Rab5 or Rab7. Additionally, we observed that both CVA10 and EVA71 infections were inhibited by endosome acidification inhibitors, bafilomycin-A1 and NH4Cl. Together, our findings comparatively illustrate the entry and intracellular trafficking processes of representative Enterovirus A types and revealed novel enterovirus intervention targets.

Abstract
Endosome biogenesis in eukaryotic cells is critical for nutrient uptake and plasma membrane integrity. Early endosomes initially contain Rab5, which is replaced by Rab7 on late endosomes prior to their fusion with lysosomes. Recruitment of Rab7 to endosomes requires the Mon1-Ccz1 guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF). Here, we show that full function of the Drosophila Mon1-Ccz1 complex requires a third stoichiometric subunit, termed Bulli (encoded by CG8270). Bulli localises to Rab7-positive endosomes, in agreement with its function in the GEF complex. Using Drosophila nephrocytes as a model system, we observe that absence of Bulli results in (i) reduced endocytosis, (ii) Rab5 accumulation within non-acidified enlarged endosomes, (iii) defective Rab7 localisation and (iv) impaired endosomal maturation. Moreover, longevity of animals lacking bulli is affected. Both the Mon1-Ccz1 dimer and a Bulli-containing trimer display Rab7 GEF activity. In summary, this suggests a key role for Bulli in the Rab5 to Rab7 transition during endosomal maturation rather than a direct influence on the GEF activity of Mon1-Ccz1.

Abstract
Positive-strand RNA [(+)RNA] viruses assemble numerous membrane-bound viral replicase complexes (VRCs) with the help of viral replication proteins and co-opted host proteins within large viral replication compartments in the cytosol of infected cells. In this study, we found that deletion or depletion of Sac1 phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PI(4)P] phosphatase reduced tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) replication in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and plants. We demonstrate a critical role for Sac1 in TBSV replicase assembly in a cell-free replicase reconstitution assay. The effect of Sac1 seems to be direct, based on its interaction with the TBSV p33 replication protein, its copurification with the tombusvirus replicase, and its presence in the virus-induced membrane contact sites and within the TBSV replication compartment. The proviral functions of Sac1 include manipulation of lipid composition, sterol enrichment within the VRCs, and recruitment of additional host factors into VRCs. Depletion of Sac1 inhibited the recruitment of Rab5 GTPase-positive endosomes and enrichment of phosphatidylethanolamine in the viral replication compartment. We propose that Sac1 might be a component of the assembly hub for VRCs, likely in collaboration with the co-opted the syntaxin18-like Ufe1 SNARE protein within the TBSV replication compartments. This work also led to demonstration of the enrichment of PI(4)P phosphoinositide within the replication compartment. Reduction in the PI(4)P level due to chemical inhibition in plant protoplasts; depletion of two PI(4)P kinases, Stt4p and Pik1p; or sequestration of free PI(4)P via expression of a PI(4)P-binding protein in yeast strongly inhibited TBSV replication. Altogether, Sac1 and PI(4)P play important proviral roles during TBSV replication.IMPORTANCE Replication of positive-strand RNA viruses depends on recruitment of host components into viral replication compartments or organelles. Using TBSV, we uncovered the critical roles of Sac1 PI(4)P phosphatase and its substrate, PI(4)P phosphoinositide, in promoting viral replication. Both Sac1 and PI(4)P are recruited to the site of viral replication to facilitate the assembly of the viral replicase complexes, which perform viral RNA replication. We found that Sac1 affects the recruitment of other host factors and enrichment of phosphatidylethanolamine and sterol lipids within the subverted host membranes to promote optimal viral replication. In summary, this work demonstrates the novel functions of Sac1 and PI(4)P in TBSV replication in the model host yeast and in plants.

Abstract
It is well known that various developmental signals play diverse roles in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) production; however, how these signaling pathways are orchestrated remains incompletely understood. Here, we report that Rab5c is essential for HSPC specification by endocytic trafficking of Notch and AKT signaling in zebrafish embryos. Rab5c deficiency leads to defects in HSPC production. Mechanistically, Rab5c regulates hemogenic endothelium (HE) specification by endocytic trafficking of Notch ligands and receptor. We further show that the interaction between Rab5c and Appl1 in the endosome is required for the survival of HE in the ventral wall of the dorsal aorta through AKT signaling. Interestingly, Rab5c overactivation can also lead to defects in HSPC production, which is attributed to excessive endolysosomal trafficking inducing Notch signaling defect. Taken together, our findings establish a previously unrecognized role of Rab5c-mediated endocytic trafficking in HSPC development and provide new insights into how spatiotemporal signals are orchestrated to accurately execute cell fate transition. Cell-autonomous Notch signaling regulated by the membrane trafficking protein Rab5c plays an instructive role in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell specification, while the AKT signaling seems to provide a permissive signal to maintain hemogenic endothelium survival.

Abstract
The eukaryotic endomembrane system is controlled by small GTPases of the Rab family, which are activated at defined times and locations in a switch-like manner. While this switch is well understood for an individual protein, how regulatory networks produce intracellular activity patterns is currently not known. Here, we combine in vitro reconstitution experiments with computational modeling to study a minimal Rab5 activation network. We find that the molecular interactions in this system give rise to a positive feedback and bistable collective switching of Rab5. Furthermore, we find that switching near the critical point is intrinsically stochastic and provide evidence that controlling the inactive population of Rab5 on the membrane can shape the network response. Notably, we demonstrate that collective switching can spread on the membrane surface as a traveling wave of Rab5 activation. Together, our findings reveal how biochemical signaling networks control vesicle trafficking pathways and how their nonequilibrium properties define the spatiotemporal organization of the cell.

Abstract
Dendrite microtubules are polarized with minus-end-out orientation in Drosophila neurons. Nucleation sites concentrate at dendrite branch points, but how they localize is not known. Using Drosophila, we found that canonical Wnt signaling proteins regulate localization of the core nucleation protein γTubulin (γTub). Reduction of frizzleds (fz), arrow (low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein [LRP] 5/6), dishevelled (dsh), casein kinase Iγ, G proteins, and Axin reduced γTub-green fluorescent protein (GFP) at branch points, and two functional readouts of dendritic nucleation confirmed a role for Wnt signaling proteins. Both dsh and Axin localized to branch points, with dsh upstream of Axin. Moreover, tethering Axin to mitochondria was sufficient to recruit ectopic γTub-GFP and increase microtubule dynamics in dendrites. At dendrite branch points, Axin and dsh colocalized with early endosomal marker Rab5, and new microtubule growth initiated at puncta marked with fz, dsh, Axin, and Rab5. We propose that in dendrites, canonical Wnt signaling proteins are housed on early endosomes and recruit nucleation sites to branch points.

Abstract
We identified a glucosyltransferase (YGT) and an ADP-ribosyltransferase (YART) in Yersinia mollaretii, highly related to glucosylating toxins from Clostridium difficile, the cause of antibiotics-associated enterocolitis. Both Yersinia toxins consist of an amino-terminal enzyme domain, an autoprotease domain activated by inositol hexakisphosphate, and a carboxyl-terminal translocation domain. YGT N-acetylglucosaminylates Rab5 and Rab31 at Thr52 and Thr36, respectively, thereby inactivating the Rab proteins. YART ADP-ribosylates Rab5 and Rab31 at Gln79 and Gln64, respectively. This activates Rab proteins by inhibiting GTP hydrolysis. We determined the crystal structure of the glycosyltransferase domain of YGT (YGTG) in the presence and absence of UDP at 1.9- and 3.4-Å resolution, respectively. Thereby, we identified a previously unknown potassium ion-binding site, which explains potassium ion-dependent enhanced glycosyltransferase activity in clostridial and related toxins. Our findings exhibit a novel type of inverse regulation of Rab proteins by toxins and provide new insights into the structure-function relationship of glycosyltransferase toxins.

Abstract
Storage protein is the most abundant nutritional component in soybean seed. Morphology-based evidence has verified that storage proteins are initially synthesized on the endoplasmic reticulum, and then follow the Golgi-mediated pathway to the protein storage vacuole. However, the molecular mechanisms of storage protein trafficking in soybean remain unknown. Here, we clone the soybean homologs of Rab5 and its guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) VPS9. GEF activity combined with yeast two-hybrid assays demonstrated that GmVPS9a2 might specifically act as the GEF of the canonical Rab5, while GmVPS9b functions as a common activator for all Rab5s. Subcellular localization experiments showed that GmRab5a was dually localized to the trans-Golgi network and pre-vacuolar compartments in developing soybean cotyledon cells. Expression of a dominant negative variant of Rab5a, or RNAi of either Rab5a or GmVPS9s, significantly disrupted trafficking of mRFP-CT10, a cargo marker for storage protein sorting, to protein storage vacuoles in maturing soybean cotyledons. Together, our results systematically revealed the important role of GmRab5a and its GEFs in storage protein trafficking, and verified the transient expression system as an efficient approach for elucidating storage protein trafficking mechanisms in seed.

Abstract
The high expression of somatostatin receptor 2 (SST2) in growth hormone (GH)-secreting tumors represents the rationale for the clinical use of somatostatin analogs (SSAs) in acromegaly. Recently, the cytoskeletal protein Filamin A (FLNA) has emerged as key modulator of the responsiveness of GH-secreting pituitary tumors to SSAs by regulating SST2 signaling and expression. The aim of this study was to explore FLNA involvement in SST2 intracellular trafficking in tumor somatotroph cells. By biotinylation assay, we found that FLNA silencing abolished octreotide-mediated SST2 internalization in rat GH3 cell line (28.0 ± 2.7 vs. 4 ± 4.3% SST2 internalization, control versus FLNA small interfering RNAs (siRNA) cells, respectively, p < 0.001) and human GH-secreting primary cultured cells (70.3 ± 21.1 vs. 24 ± 19.2% SST2 internalization, control versus FLNA siRNA cells, respectively, p < 0.05). In addition, confocal imaging revealed impaired SST2 recycling to the plasma membrane in FLNA silenced GH3 cells. Coimmunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence experiments showed that FLNA, as well as β-arrestin2, is timely dependent recruited to octreotide-stimulated SST2 receptors both in rat and human tumor somatotroph cells. Although FLNA expression knock down did not prevent the formation of β-arrestin2-SST2 complex in GH3 cells, it significantly impaired efficient SST2 loading into cytosolic vesicles positive for the early endocytic and recycling markers Rab5 and 4, respectively (33.7 ± 8.9% down to 25.9 ± 6.9%, p < 0.05, and 28.4 ± 7.4% down to 17.6 ± 5.7%, p < 0.01, for SST2-Rab5 and SST2-Rab4 colocalization, respectively, in control versus FLNA siRNA cells). Altogether these data support an important role for FLNA in the mediation of octreotide-induced SST2 trafficking in GH-secreting pituitary tumor cells through Rab5 and 4 sorting endosomes.

Abstract
Early endosomes, also called sorting endosomes, are known to mature into late endosomes via the Rab5-mediated endolysosomal trafficking pathway. Thus, early endosome existence is thought to be maintained by the continual fusion of transport vesicles from the plasma membrane and the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Here we show instead that endocytosis is dispensable and post-Golgi vesicle transport is crucial for the formation of endosomes and the subsequent endolysosomal traffic regulated by yeast Rab5 Vps21p. Fittingly, all three proteins required for endosomal nucleotide exchange on Vps21p are first recruited to the TGN before transport to the endosome, namely the GEF Vps9p and the epsin-related adaptors Ent3/5p. The TGN recruitment of these components is distinctly controlled, with Vps9p appearing to require the Arf1p GTPase, and the Rab11s, Ypt31p/32p. These results provide a different view of endosome formation and identify the TGN as a critical location for regulating progress through the endolysosomal trafficking pathway.

Abstract
During wound repair, branching morphogenesis and carcinoma dissemination, cellular rearrangements are fostered by a solid-to-liquid transition, known as unjamming. The biomolecular machinery behind unjamming and its pathophysiological relevance remain, however, unclear. Here, we study unjamming in a variety of normal and tumorigenic epithelial two-dimensional (2D) and 3D collectives. Biologically, the increased level of the small GTPase RAB5A sparks unjamming by promoting non-clathrin-dependent internalization of epidermal growth factor receptor that leads to hyperactivation of the kinase ERK1/2 and phosphorylation of the actin nucleator WAVE2. This cascade triggers collective motility effects with striking biophysical consequences. Specifically, unjamming in tumour spheroids is accompanied by persistent and coordinated rotations that progressively remodel the extracellular matrix, while simultaneously fluidizing cells at the periphery. This concurrent action results in collective invasion, supporting the concept that the endo-ERK1/2 pathway is a physicochemical switch to initiate collective invasion and dissemination of otherwise jammed carcinoma.

Abstract
The Rab5 small GTPase is a regulator of endosomal trafficking and vesicle fusion. It possesses two adjacent cysteine residues for post-translational geranylgeranylation at its C-terminus for the protein to associate with the early endosome membrane. We compare the effect of mono-lipidification of only one cysteine residue with the doubly modified, fully functional Rab protein in both guanosine diphosphate (GDP)- and guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-bound states and in different membranes (one, three, and six-component membranes). Molecular simulations show that the mono-geranylgeranylated protein is less strongly associated with the membranes and diffuses faster than the doubly lipidated protein. The geranylgeranyl anchor membrane insertion depth is smaller and the protein–membrane distance distribution is broad and uncharacteristic for the membrane composition. The mono-geranylgeranylated protein reveals an unspecific association with the membrane and an orientation at the membrane that does not allow a nucleotide-specific recruitment of further effector proteins. This work shows that double-lipidification is critical for Rab5 to perform its physiological function and mono-geranylgeranylation renders it membrane-associated but non-functional.

Abstract
SCOPE Oxidative stress and dysregulated intracellular trafficking are associated with an unhealthy diet which underlies pathology. Here, these effects on photoreceptor outer segment (POS) trafficking in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a major pathway of disease underlying irreversible sight-loss, are studied. METHODS AND RESULTS POS trafficking is studied in ARPE-19 cells using an algorithm-based quantification of confocal-immunofluorescence data supported by ultrastructural studies. It is shown that although POS are tightly regulated and trafficked via Rab5, Rab7 vesicles, LAMP1/2 lysosomes and LC3b-autophagosomes, there is also a considerable degree of variation and flexibility in this process. Treatment with H2 O2 and bafilomycin A1 reveals that oxidative stress and dysregulated autophagy target intracellular compartments and trafficking in strikingly different ways. These effects appear limited to POS-containing vesicles, suggesting a cargo-specific effect. CONCLUSION The findings offer insights into how RPE cells cope with stress, and how mechanisms influencing POS transport/degradation can have different outcomes in the senescent retina. These shed new light on cellular processes underlying retinopathies such as age-related macular degeneration. The discoveries reveal how diet and nutrition can cause fundamental alterations at a cellular level, thus contributing to a better understanding of the diet-disease axis.

Abstract
Upon phagocytosis into macrophages, the intracellular bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila secretes effector proteins that manipulate host cell components, enabling it to evade lysosomal degradation. However, the bacterial proteins involved in this evasion are incompletely characterized. Here we show that the L. pneumophila effector protein RavD targets host membrane compartments and contributes to the molecular mechanism the pathogen uses to prevent encounters with lysosomes. Protein-lipid binding assays revealed that RavD selectively binds phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI(3)P) in vitro We further determined that a C-terminal RavD region mediates the interaction with PI(3)P and that this interaction requires Arg-292. In transiently transfected mammalian cells, mCherry-RavD colocalized with the early endosome marker EGFP-Rab5 as well as the PI(3)P biosensor EGFP-2×FYVE. However, treatment with the phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin did not disrupt localization of mCherry-RavD to endosomal compartments, suggesting that RavD's interaction with PI(3)P is not necessary to anchor RavD to endosomal membranes. Using superresolution and immunogold transmission EM, we observed that, upon translocation into macrophages, RavD was retained onto the Legionella-containing vacuole and was also present on small vesicles adjacent to the vacuole. We also report that despite no detectable effects on intracellular growth of L. pneumophila within macrophages or amebae, the lack of RavD significantly increased the number of vacuoles that accumulate the late endosome/lysosome marker LAMP-1 during macrophage infection. Together, our findings suggest that, although not required for intracellular replication of L. pneumophila, RavD is a part of the molecular mechanism that steers the Legionella-containing vacuole away from endolysosomal maturation pathways.

Abstract
Gadolinium-metallofullerenols (Gd@C82(OH)22) are a promising agent for cancer therapy and have shown beneficial effects in regulating the tumor microenvironment with low toxicity. However, the underlying mechanism by which Gd@C82(OH)22 interacts with fibroblasts remains unclear. In order to explore the critical role that activated fibroblasts play in tumorigenesis and fibrosis, we investigated the regulatory effect of Gd@C82(OH)22 in fibroblast activation and oncogenic transformation, and found that the PDGFR-α is an essential molecule in modulating the morphology and functional changes in fibroblasts after Gd@C82(OH)22 treatment. Apart from increasing the PDGFR-α protein level, Gd@C82(OH)22 nanoparticles also significantly increased the protein level of Rab5, which is required for regulating PDGFR-α endosomal recycling. The Rab5-mediated recycling of PDGFR-α maybe attributed to the Gd@C82(OH)22 regulated inhibition of fibroblast activation. Overall, our work demonstrated that Gd@C82(OH)22 nanoparticles can attenuate the PDGF-stimulated phosphorylation of PDGFR-α in fibroblasts and suppress the fibroblast activation by interrupting endosomal recycling. These findings may be contributed to the collagen accumulation for encaging cancer.

Abstract
Given that cancer stem cells (CSC) play a key role in drug resistance and relapse, targeting CSCs remains promising in cancer therapy. Here we show that RAB5/7, which are involved in the endolysosomal pathway, play key roles in the maintenance of CSC survival via regulation of the mitophagic pathway. Inhibition of RAB5/7 efficiently eliminated colorectal CSCs and disrupted cancer foci. In addition, we identified mefloquine hydrochloride, an antimalarial drug, as a novel RAB5/7 inhibitor and promising colorectal CSC-targeting drug. Endolysosomal RAB5/7 and LAMP1/2 mediated parkin-dependent mitochondrial clearance and modulated mitophagy through lysosomal dynamics. In a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model of colon cancer, treatment with mefloquine resulted in suppression of mitophagic PINK1/PARKIN and increased mitochondrial disorder and mitochondria-induced apoptosis without apparent side effects. These results suggest that the combination of mefloquine with chemotherapeutic agents in the PDX model potentially disrupts the hierarchy of colorectal cancer cells and identify endolysosomal RAB5/7 and LAMP1/2 as promising therapeutic targets in CSCs. SIGNIFICANCE: These findings show that endosomal/lysosomal RAB5 and RAB7, which regulate mitophagy, are essential for the survival of colon cancer stem cells.Graphical Abstract: http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/canres/79/7/1426/F1.large.jpg.

Abstract
The Bunyavirales is one of the largest groups of RNA viruses, which encompasses many strains that are highly pathogenic to animals and humans. Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is an emerging tick-borne bunyavirus that causes severe disease in humans, with a high fatality rate of up to 30%. To date, the entry process of bunyavirus infection remains obscure. Here, using quantum dot (QD)-based single-particle tracking and multicolor imaging, the dynamic molecular process of SFTSV entry and penetration is systematically dissected. The results show that internalization of SFTSV into host cells is initiated by recruiting clathrin onto the cell membrane for the formation of clathrin-coated pits and further pinching off from the plasma membrane to form discrete vesicles. These vesicular carriers further deliver virions to Rab5+ early endosomes, and then to Rab7+ late endosomes. The intracellular transport of virion-carrying endocytic vesicles is dependent first on actin filaments at the cell periphery, and then on microtubules toward the cell interior. The final fusion events occur at ≈15-60 min post-entry, and are triggered by the acidic environment at ≈pH5.6 within the late endosomes. These results reveal the multistep SFTSV entry process and the dynamic virus-host interactions involved.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway plays a central role in the regulation of cell signaling, proliferation, survival, migration and vesicle trafficking in normal cells and is frequently deregulated in many cancers. The p85α protein is the most characterized regulatory subunit of the class IA PI3Ks, best known for its regulation of the p110-PI3K catalytic subunit. In this review, we will discuss the impact of p85α mutations or alterations in expression levels on the proteins p85α is known to bind and regulate. We will focus on alterations within the N-terminal half of p85α that primarily regulate Rab5 and some members of the Rho-family of GTPases, as well as those that regulate PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10), the enzyme that directly counteracts PI3K signaling. We highlight recent data, mapping the interaction surfaces of the PTEN⁻p85α breakpoint cluster region homology (BH) domain, which sheds new light on key residues in both proteins. As a multifunctional protein that binds and regulates many different proteins, p85α mutations at different sites have different impacts in cancer and would necessarily require distinct treatment strategies to be effective.

Abstract
Axonal transport is required for neuronal development and survival. Transport from the axon to the soma is driven by the molecular motor cytoplasmic dynein, yet it remains unclear how dynein is spatially and temporally regulated. We find that the dynein effector Hook1 mediates transport of TrkB-BDNF-signaling endosomes in primary hippocampal neurons. Hook1 comigrates with a subpopulation of Rab5 endosomes positive for TrkB and BDNF, which exhibit processive retrograde motility with faster velocities than the overall Rab5 population. Knockdown of Hook1 significantly reduced the motility of BDNF-signaling endosomes without affecting the motility of other organelles. In microfluidic chambers, Hook1 depletion resulted in a significant decrease in the flux and processivity of BDNF-Qdots along the mid-axon, an effect specific for Hook1 but not Hook3. Hook1 depletion inhibited BDNF trafficking to the soma and blocked downstream BDNF- and TrkB-dependent signaling to the nucleus. Together, these studies support a model in which differential association with cargo-specific effectors efficiently regulates dynein in neurons.

Abstract
Although several reports suggest that the entry of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) depends on lipid rafts and low pH, the endocytic route and intracellular trafficking are unclear. In this study, we aimed to shed greater light on early steps in IBV infection. By using chemical inhibitors, RNA interference, and dominant negative mutants, we observed that lipid rafts and low pH was indeed required for virus entry; IBV mainly utilized the clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME) for entry; GTPase dynamin 1 was involved in virus containing vesicle scission; and the penetration of IBV into cells led to active cytoskeleton rearrangement. By using R18 labeled virus, we found that virus particles moved along with the classical endosome/lysosome track. Functional inactivation of Rab5 and Rab7 significantly inhibited IBV infection. Finally, by using dual R18/DiOC labeled IBV, we observed that membrane fusion was induced after 1 h.p.i. in late endosome/lysosome. Intact lipid rafts is involved in IBV entry. Low pH in intracyplasmic vesicles is required for IBV entry. IBV penetrates cells via clathrin mediated endocytosis. IBV moves along with the classical endosome/lysosome track, finally fuses with late endosome/lysosome.

Abstract
The transport of rice glutelin storage proteins to the storage vacuoles requires the Rab5 GTPase and its related guanine nucleotide exchange factor (Rab5-GEF). Loss of function of these membrane vesicular trafficking factors results in the initial secretion of storage proteins and later their partial engulfment by the plasma membrane to form an extracellular paramural body (PMB), an aborted endosome complex. Here, we show that in the rice Rab5-GEF mutant glup6, glutelin RNAs are specifically mislocalized from their normal location on the cisternal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the protein body-ER, and are also apparently translocated to the PMBs. We substantiated the association of mRNAs with this aborted endosome complex by RNA-seq of PMBs purified by flow cytometry. Two PMB-associated groups of RNA were readily resolved: those that were specifically enriched in this aborted complex and those that were highly expressed in the cytoplasm. Examination of the PMB-enriched RNAs indicated that they were not a random sampling of the glup6 transcriptome but, instead, encompassed only a few functional mRNA classes. Although specific autophagy is also an alternative mechanism, our results support the view that RNA localization may co-opt membrane vesicular trafficking, and that many RNAs that share function or intracellular location are co-transported in developing rice seeds.

Abstract
Leishmania donovani possess two isoforms of Rab5 (Rab5a and Rab5b), which are involved in fluid phase and receptor-mediated endocytosis, respectively. We have characterized the solution structure and dynamics of a stabilized truncated LdRab5a mutant. For the purpose of NMR structure determination, protein stability was enhanced by systematically introducing various deletions and mutations. Deletion of hypervariable C-terminal and the 20 residues LdRab5a specific insert slightly enhanced the stability, which was further improved by C107S mutation. The final construct, truncated LdRab5a with C107S mutation, was found to be stable for longer durations at higher concentration, with an increase in melting temperature by 10°C. Solution structure of truncated LdRab5a shows the characteristic GTPase fold having nucleotide and effector binding sites. Orientation of switch I and switch II regions match well with that of guanosine 5'-(β, γ-imido)triphosphate (GppNHp)-bound human Rab5a, indicating that the truncated LdRab5a attains the canonical GTP bound state. However, the backbone dynamics of the P-loop, switch I, and switch II regions were slower than that observed for guanosine 5'-(β, γ-imido)triphosphate (GMPPNP)-bound H-Ras. This dynamic profile may further complement the residue-specific complementarity in determining the specificity of interaction with the effectors. In parallel, biophysical investigations revealed the urea induced unfolding of truncated LdRab5a to be a four-state process that involved two intermediates, I1 and I2. The maximal 4,4'-dianilino-1,1'-binaphthyl-5,5'-disulfonic acid (Bis-ANS) binding was observed for I2 state, which was inferred to have molten globule like characteristics. Overall, the strategy presented would have significant impact for studying other Rab and small GTPase proteins by NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The small Rab GTPases are key regulators of membrane vesicle trafficking. Ovaries of Periplaneta americana (Linnaeus) (Blattodea: Blattidae) have small molecular weight GTP/ATP-binding proteins during early and late vitellogenic periods of oogenesis. However, the identification and characterization of the detected proteins have not been yet reported. Herein, we cloned a cDNA encoding Rab5 from the American cockroach, P. americana, ovaries (PamRab5). It comprises 796 bp, encoding a protein of 213 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular weight of 23.5 kDa. PamRab5 exists as a single-copy gene in the P. americana genome, as revealed by Southern blot analysis. An approximate 2.6 kb ovarian mRNA was transcribed especially at high levels in the previtellogenic ovaries, detected by Northern blot analysis. The muscle and head tissues also showed high levels of PamRab5 transcript. PamRab5 protein was localized, via immunofluorescence labeling, to germline-derived cells of the oocytes, very early during oocyte differentiation. Immunoblotting detected a ∼25 kDa signal as a membrane-associated form revealed after application of detergent in the extraction buffer, and 23 kDa as a cytosolic form consistent with the predicted molecular weight from amino acid sequence in different tissues including ovary, muscles and head. The PamRab5 during late vitellogenic periods is required to regulate the endocytotic machinery during oogenesis in this cockroach. This is the first report on Rab5 from a hemimetabolan, and presents an inaugural step in probing the molecular premises of insect oocyte endocytotic trafficking important for oogenesis and embryonic development.
