Saccharomyces cerevisiae sec7 mutants exhibit pleiotropic deficiencies in the transit of proteins through the Golgi apparatus, and elaborate an array of Golgi apparatus-like cisternae at a restrictive growth temperature (37 degrees C). The SEC7 gene encodes an essential high-molecular weight protein (227 kD) that is phosphorylated in vivo. In cell lysates, Sec7 protein (Sec7p) is recovered in both sedimentable and soluble fractions. A punctate immunofluorescent pattern of Sec7p-associated structures seen in SEC cells coalesces in sec14 mutant yeast that accumulate exaggerated Golgi cisternae at 37 degrees C. Sec7p may function as a peripheral membrane protein that cycles between a soluble, cytosolic pool and a sedimentable, membrane-associated complex for its essential role in vesicular traffic through the Golgi apparatus. The transmembrane Kex2 protease, which processes precursors of secreted peptides within the yeast secretory pathway, is also localized by indirect immunofluorescence to multiple structures in the yeast cell (Redding, K., and R. Fuller, manuscript submitted for publication). In double-immunofluorescence labeling experiments, significant colocalization of Sec7 and Kex2 proteins was found. Colocalization of the two antigens, one implicated in protein transport through the Golgi apparatus and the other in processing within a late Golgi compartment, supports the conclusion that we have visualized the yeast Golgi apparatus.

ABSTRACT Infection of cells with picornaviruses can lead to a block in protein secretion. For poliovirus this is achieved by the 3A protein, and the consequent reduction in secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and surface expression of major histocompatibility complex class I proteins may inhibit host immune responses in vivo. Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), another picornavirus, can cause persistent infection of ruminants, suggesting it too may inhibit immune responses. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-Golgi apparatus transport of proteins is blocked by the FMDV 2BC protein. The observation that 2BC is processed to 2B and 2C during infection and that individual 2B and 2C proteins are unable to block secretion stimulated us to study the effects of 2BC processing on the secretory pathway. Even though 2BC was processed rapidly to 2B and 2C, protein transport to the plasma membrane was still blocked in FMDV-infected cells. The block could be reconstituted by coexpression of 2B and 2C, showing that processing of 2BC did not compromise the ability of FMDV to slow secretion. Under these conditions, 2C was located to the Golgi apparatus, and the block in transport also occurred in the Golgi apparatus. Interestingly, the block in transport could be redirected to the ER when 2B was coexpressed with a 2C protein fused to an ER retention element. Thus, for FMDV a block in secretion is dependent on both 2B and 2C, with the latter determining the site of the block.

Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) and OSBP-related proteins (ORPs) constitute a large gene family that differentially localize to organellar membranes, reflecting a functional role in sterol signaling and/or transport. OSBP partitions between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus where it imparts sterol-dependent regulation of ceramide transport and sphingomyelin synthesis. ORP9L also is localized to the ER–Golgi, but its role in secretion and lipid transport is unknown. Here we demonstrate that ORP9L partitioning between the trans-Golgi/trans-Golgi network (TGN), and the ER is mediated by a phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI-4P)-specific PH domain and VAMP-associated protein (VAP), respectively. In vitro, both OSBP and ORP9L mediated PI-4P–dependent cholesterol transport between liposomes, suggesting their primary in vivo function is sterol transfer between the Golgi and ER. Depletion of ORP9L by RNAi caused Golgi fragmentation, inhibition of vesicular somatitus virus glycoprotein transport from the ER and accumulation of cholesterol in endosomes/lysosomes. Complete cessation of protein transport and cell growth inhibition was achieved by inducible overexpression of ORP9S, a dominant negative variant lacking the PH domain. We conclude that ORP9 maintains the integrity of the early secretory pathway by mediating transport of sterols between the ER and trans-Golgi/TGN.

Drosophila ovarian follicles were examined ultrastructurally to study the vesicular traffic in the cortical ooplasm. The endocytic pathway leading to the production of yolk spheres was visualized following in vivo or in vitro exposure to peroxidase. The Golgi apparatus and the yolk spheres of wild-type ovarian follicles were preferentially labelled by fixation with osmium zinc iodide (OZI). Labelling of wild-type ovarian follicles was compared to that of several mutant follicles--L186/Basc, fs(2)A17 and ap4--which are defective in vitellogenesis. In these mutants, the Golgi apparatus and the vesicles nearby were either scantly labelled or not labelled at all. In oocytes from flies homozygous for the gene fs(1)1163, the Golgi apparatus was labelled as in the controls, but no yolk spheres appeared to be labelled with OZI at any of the developmental stages. In several Drosophila strains, the pattern of OZI label in the cortical ooplasm was seen to vary in relation to the number of yp structural genes. In starved Drosophila females, OZI labelling of the cortical ooplasm appeared restricted to the Golgi apparatus and to an extended tubular network. A similar labelling pattern was also detected in in vitro cultured vitellogenic follicles. Refeeding, topical application of juvenile hormone analogue to starved females or hormone addition to the culture medium, all caused the yolk spheres to become labelled with OZI and to incorporate peroxidase. These observations prove that impairing endocytic uptake by either mutation or lack of juvenile hormone prevents fusion of coated vesicles and tubules with the yolk spheres and leads them instead to form an intermediate cell compartment with Golgi-derived vesicles.

Many eukaryotic cell surface proteins are anchored in the lipid bilayer through glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). GPI anchors are covalently attached in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The modified proteins are then transported through the secretory pathway to the cell surface. We have identified two genes inSaccharomyces cerevisiae, LAG1 and a novel gene termed DGT1 (for “delayed GPI-anchored protein transport”), encoding structurally related proteins with multiple membrane-spanning domains. Both proteins are localized to the ER, as demonstrated by immunofluorescence microscopy. Deletion of either gene caused no detectable phenotype, whereas lag1Δ dgt1Δ cells displayed growth defects and a significant delay in ER-to-Golgi transport of GPI-anchored proteins, suggesting thatLAG1 and DGT1 encode functionally redundant or overlapping proteins. The rate of GPI anchor attachment was not affected, nor was the transport rate of several non–GPI-anchored proteins. Consistent with a role of Lag1p and Dgt1p in GPI-anchored protein transport, lag1Δ dgt1Δ cells deposit abnormal, multilayered cell walls. Both proteins have significant sequence similarity to TRAM, a mammalian membrane protein thought to be involved in protein translocation across the ER membrane. In vivo translocation studies, however, did not detect any defects in protein translocation in lag1Δ dgt1Δcells, suggesting that neither yeast gene plays a role in this process. Instead, we propose that Lag1p and Dgt1p facilitate efficient ER-to-Golgi transport of GPI-anchored proteins.

ARF GAP1, a 415-amino acid GTPase activating protein (GAP) for ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) contains an amino-terminal 115-amino acid catalytic domain and no other recognizable features. Amino acids 203–334 of ARF GAP1 were sufficient to target a GFP-fusion protein to Golgi membranes in vivo. When overexpressed in COS-1 cells, this protein domain inhibited protein transport between the ER and Golgi and, in vitro, competed with the full-length ARF GAP1 for binding to membranes. Membrane binding by ARF GAP1 in vitro was increased by a factor in cytosol and this increase was inhibited by IC261, an inhibitor selective for casein kinase Iδ (CKIδ), or when cytosol was treated with antibody to CKIδ. The noncatalytic domain of ARF GAP1 was phosphorylated both in vivo and in vitro by CKI. IC261 blocked membrane binding by ARF GAP1 in vivo and inhibited protein transport in the early secretory pathway. Overexpression of a catalytically inactive CKIδ also inhibited the binding of ARF GAP1 to membranes and interfered with protein transport. Thus, a CKI isoform is required for protein traffic through the early secretory pathway and can modulate the amount of ARF GAP1 that can bind to membranes.

Golgi Ribbon

The mammalian GRASPs (Golgi reassembly stacking proteins) GRASP65 and GRASP55 were first discovered more than a decade ago as factors involved in the stacking of Golgi cisternae. Since then, orthologues have been identified in many different organisms and GRASPs have been assigned new roles that may seem disconnected. In vitro, GRASPs have been shown to have the biochemical properties of Golgi stacking factors, but the jury is still out as to whether they act as such in vivo. In mammalian cells, GRASP65 and GRASP55 are required for formation of the Golgi ribbon, a structure which is fragmented in mitosis owing to the phosphorylation of a number of serine and threonine residues situated in its C-terminus. Golgi ribbon unlinking is in turn shown to be part of a mitotic checkpoint. GRASP65 also seems to be the key target of signalling events leading to re-orientation of the Golgi during cell migration and its breakdown during apoptosis. Interestingly, the Golgi ribbon is not a feature of lower eukaryotes, yet a GRASP homologue is present in the genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi, suggesting they have other roles. GRASPs have no identified function in bulk anterograde protein transport along the secretory pathway, but some cargo-specific trafficking roles for GRASPs have been discovered. Furthermore, GRASP orthologues have recently been shown to mediate the unconventional secretion of the cytoplasmic proteins AcbA/Acb1, in both Dictyostelium discoideum and yeast, and the Golgi bypass of a number of transmembrane proteins during Drosophila development. In the present paper, we review the multiple roles of GRASPs.

In the yeast secretory pathway, two genes SEC12 and SAR1, which encode a 70-kD integral membrane protein and a 21-kD GTP-binding protein, respectively, cooperate in protein transport from the ER to the Golgi apparatus. In vivo, the elevation of the SAR1 dosage suppresses temperature sensitivity of the sec12 mutant. In this paper, we show cell-free reconstitution of the ER-to-Golgi transport that depends on both of these gene products. First, the membranes from the sec12 mutant cells reproduce temperature sensitivity in the in vitro ER-to-Golgi transport reaction. Furthermore, the addition of the Sar1 protein completely suppresses this temperature-sensitive defect of the sec12 membranes. The analysis of Sar1p partially purified by E. coli expression suggests that GTP hydrolysis is essential for Sar1p to execute its function.

The Golgi apparatus lies at the heart of the secretory pathway where it is required for secretory trafficking and cargo modification. Disruption of Golgi architecture and function has been widely observed in neurodegenerative disease, but whether Golgi dysfunction is causal with regard to the neurodegenerative process, or is simply a manifestation of neuronal death, remains unclear. Here we report that targeted loss of the golgin GM130 leads to a profound neurological phenotype in mice. Global KO of mouse GM130 results in developmental delay, severe ataxia, and postnatal death. We further show that selective deletion of GM130 in neurons causes fragmentation and defective positioning of the Golgi apparatus, impaired secretory trafficking, and dendritic atrophy in Purkinje cells. These cellular defects manifest as reduced cerebellar size and Purkinje cell number, leading to ataxia. Purkinje cell loss and ataxia first appear during postnatal development but progressively worsen with age. Our data therefore indicate that targeted disruption of the mammalian Golgi apparatus and secretory traffic results in neuronal degeneration in vivo, supporting the view that Golgi dysfunction can play a causative role in neurodegeneration.

Recent studies on purified subcellular fractions of hepatic Golgi apparatus have provided insight into the functioning of the Golgi apparatus in vivo.The hepatocyte is the site of synthesis of most circulating plasma proteins. On a total protein basis, purified Golgi fractions revealed mainly secretory content (albumin, transferrin and other plasma proteins) as major constituents. After an in vivo injection of radiolabeled leucine, newly synthesized secretory protein followed a temporal route from cis to trans regions of Golgi apparatus before appearance in the plasma. This route was revealed by studies on disrupted Golgi fractions enriched in disparate regions of the Golgi apparatus.The terminal glycosylation of secretory glcyoproteins (e.g. transferrin) can be studied by observing the transfer of UDP-(3H)-galactose to endogenous acceptors within Golgi fractions. Transfer was shown to occur to a glycolipid (dolichyl galactosyl phosphate) probably on the cytosolic aspect of the Golgi membrane. Translocation of the labeled galactose across the membrane coincided with fusion of Golgi saccules in vitro. It is felt that during the process of Golgi membrane fusion, inverted lipid- micellar membrane structures translocate the dolichyl galactosyl phosphate from a cytosolic to a luminal orientation. Luminally oriented dolichyl galactosyl phosphate would then serve as substrate for galactose transfer to intraluminal glycopeptide acceptors via intraluminal galactosyl transferase enzyme.
