Sorting and export of transmembrane cargoes and lysosomal hydrolases at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) are well understood. However, elucidation of the mechanism by which secretory cargoes are segregated for their release into the extracellular space remains a challenge. We have previously demonstrated that, in a reaction that requires Ca2+, the soluble TGN-resident protein Cab45 is necessary for the sorting of secretory cargoes at the TGN. Here, we report that Cab45 reversibly assembles into oligomers in the presence of Ca2+. These Cab45 oligomers specifically bind secretory proteins, such as COMP and LyzC, in a Ca2+-dependent manner in vitro. In intact cells, mutation of the Ca2+-binding sites in Cab45 impairs oligomerization, as well as COMP and LyzC sorting. Superresolution microscopy revealed that Cab45 colocalizes with secretory proteins and the TGN Ca2+ pump (SPCA1) in specific TGN microdomains. These findings reveal that Ca2+-dependent changes in Cab45 mediate sorting of specific cargo molecules at the TGN.

Sorting of soluble proteins for transport to intracellular compartments and for secretion from cells is essential for cell and tissue homeostasis. The trans-Golgi network (TGN) is a major sorting station that sorts secretory proteins into specific carriers to transport them to their final destinations. The sorting of lysosomal hydrolases at the TGN by the mannose 6-phosphate receptor is well understood. The recent discovery of a Ca2+-based sorting of secretory cargo at the TGN is beginning to uncover the mechanism by which cells sort secretory cargoes from Golgi residents and cargoes destined to the other cellular compartments. This Ca2+-based sorting involves the cytoplasmic actin cytoskeleton, which through membrane anchored Ca2+ ATPase SPCA1 and the luminal Ca2+ binding protein Cab45 sorts of a subset of secretory proteins at the TGN. We present this discovery and highlight important challenges that remain unaddressed in the overall pathway of cargo sorting at the TGN.

Regulated secretory proteins are thought to be sorted in the trans-Golgi network towards the secretory granule via acidic aggregation. In the exocrine pancreas, amylase is one of the major zymogens. It is a basic protein of pI 8.6 and does not precipitate in acidic conditions. To identify the mechanism by which amylase aggregates in the acidic cisternæ of the pancreatic trans-Golgi network, we have developed an in vitro model in which amylase was fixed to plastic microtiter plates. The fixed amylase was probed with two ligands: amylase itself and GP-2, the major protein of the zymogen granule membrane. Biotinylated amylase bound to fixed amylase in a strict pH-dependent manner with optimal binding between pH 5.0 and 5.7. The affinity of binding was in the nanogram range (Kd ≈ 20.0 ng/mL) at pH 5.5. Acid binding of amylase was not reversible by incubation at neutral pH, nor could it be displaced by native amylase. GP-2 binding to fixed amylase was also pH dependent with optimal binding between pH 5.0 and 5.7. As for amylase, it was not reversible by incubation at neutral pH. GP-2 binding sites on fixed amylase appeared to be different from those of biotinylated amylase. While native and biotinylated amylase did not bind to GP-2, polymerized amylase precipitated GP-2 at acidic pH. Taken together these data suggest that slight modifications are sufficient to reveal on the amylase molecule binding sites for GP-2 and for amylase itself. These new binding capacities acquired at acidic pH could be involved in the cascade of reactions that lead to the in vivo formation of the immature secretory granule.Key words: regulated secretion, sorting, granules, trans-Golgi network.

The actin filament severing protein cofilin-1 (CFL-1) is required for actin and P-type ATPase secretory pathway calcium ATPase (SPCA)-dependent sorting of secretory proteins at the trans-Golgi network (TGN). How these proteins interact and activate the pump to facilitate cargo sorting, however, is not known. We used purified proteins to assess interaction of the cytoplasmic domains of SPCA1 with actin and CFL-1. A 132–amino acid portion of the SPCA1 phosphorylation domain (P-domain) interacted with actin in a CFL-1–dependent manner. This domain, coupled to nickel nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) agarose beads, specifically recruited F-actin in the presence of CFL-1 and, when expressed in HeLa cells, inhibited Ca2+ entry into the TGN and secretory cargo sorting. Mutagenesis of four amino acids in SPCA1 that represent the CFL-1 binding site also affected Ca2+ import into the TGN and secretory cargo sorting. Altogether, our findings reveal the mechanism of CFL-1–dependent recruitment of actin to SPCA1 and the significance of this interaction for Ca2+ influx and secretory cargo sorting.

The generation of inositol phosphates upon muscarinic-receptor activation was studied in [3H]inositol-loaded exocrine cells from the nasal salt glands of the duck Anas platyrhynchos, and the metabolism of different inositol phosphates in vitro was studied in tissue homogenates, with particular reference to the possible interaction of changes in intracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) with the metabolic processes. In intact cells, there was a rapid (within 15 s) generation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, followed by an accumulation of their breakdown products, Ins(1,3,4)P3 and inositol bis- and monophosphates. Ca(2+)-sensitivity of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase was demonstrated in tissue homogenates, with the rate of phosphorylation increasing 2-fold at free Ca2+ concentrations greater than 1 microM. However, addition of calmodulin or the presence of the calmodulin inhibitor W-7 (up to 100 microM) had no effect. 3-Kinase activity increased proportionally with the initial Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration up to 1 microM, but a 10-fold higher substrate concentration produced only a doubling in the phosphorylation rate. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was dephosphorylated to Ins(1,3,4)P3, which accumulated in the homogenate assays as well as in intact cells. Depending on its concentration, Ins(1,3,4)P3 was phosphorylated [in part to Ins(1,3,4,6)P4] or dephosphorylated. To investigate the Ca(2+)-sensitivity of the 3-kinase in intact cells, excess quin2 was used to buffer the receptor-mediated transient changes in [Ca2+]i in [3H]inositol-loaded cells. These experiments revealed that increasing [Ca2+]i from less than 100 to approx. 400 nM (i.e. within the physiological range) has no effect on the partitioning of Ins(1,4,5)P3 metabolism (phosphorylation versus dephosphorylation) and on the accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. This indicates that activation of the 3-kinase by physiologically relevant Ca2+ concentrations may not play a major role in the generation of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 signals upon receptor activation in these cells. The latter are mainly achieved by the receptor-mediated increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the cell and its phosphorylation by the 3-kinase in a substrate-concentration-dependent manner.

We have recently described a cell-free system that reconstitutes the vesicular transport of 300-kD mannose 6-phosphate receptors from late endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN). We report here that the endosome----TGN transport reaction was significantly inhibited by low concentrations of the alkylating agent, N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). Addition of fresh cytosol to NEM-inactivated reaction mixtures restored transport to at least 80% of control levels. Restorative activity was only present in cytosol fractions, and was sensitive to trypsin treatment or incubation at 100 degrees C. A variety of criteria demonstrated that the restorative activity was distinct from NSF, an NEM-sensitive protein that facilitates the transport of proteins from the ER to the Golgi complex and between Golgi cisternae. Cytosol fractions immunodepleted of greater than or equal to 90% of NSF protein, or heated to 37 degrees C to inactivate greater than or equal to 93% of NSF activity, were fully able to restore transport to NEM-treated reaction mixtures. The majority of restorative activity sedimented as a uniform species of 50-100 kD upon glycerol gradient centrifugation. We have termed this activity ETF-1, for endosome----TGN transport factor-1. Kinetic experiments showed that ETF-1 acts at a very early stage in vesicular transport, which may reflect a role for this factor in the formation of nascent transport vesicles. GTP hydrolysis appears to be required throughout the transport reaction. The ability of GTP gamma S to inhibit endosome----TGN transport required the presence of donor, endosome membranes, and cytosol, which may reflect a role for guanine nucleotides in vesicle budding. Finally, ETF-1 appears to act before a step that is blocked by GTP gamma S, during the process by which proteins are transported from endosomes to the TGN in vitro.

A crucial step in lysosomal biogenesis is catalyzed by “uncovering” enzyme (UCE), which removes a coveringN-acetylglucosamine from the mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) recognition marker on lysosomal hydrolases. This study shows that UCE resides in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and cycles between the TGN and plasma membrane. The cytosolic domain of UCE contains two potential endocytosis motifs: 488YHPL and C-terminal 511NPFKD. YHPL is shown to be the more potent of the two in retrieval of UCE from the plasma membrane. A green-fluorescent protein-UCE transmembrane-cytosolic domain fusion protein colocalizes with TGN 46, as does endogenous UCE in HeLa cells, showing that the transmembrane and cytosolic domains determine intracellular location. These data imply that the Man-6-P recognition marker is formed in the TGN, the compartment where Man-6-P receptors bind cargo and are packaged into clathrin-coated vesicles.

Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) is a receptor for two unrelated ligands with disparate activities, vascular endothelial growth factor-165 (VEGF165), an angiogenesis factor, and semaphorin/collapsins, mediators of neuronal guidance. To determine whether semaphorin/collapsins could interact with NRP1 in nonneuronal cells, the effects of recombinant collapsin-1 on endothelial cells (EC) were examined. Collapsin-1 inhibited the motility of porcine aortic EC (PAEC) expressing NRP1 alone; coexpressing KDR and NRP1 (PAEC/KDR/NRP1), but not parental PAEC; or PAEC expressing KDR alone. The motility of PAEC expressing NRP1 was inhibited by 65–75% and this inhibition was abrogated by anti-NRP1 antibody. In contrast, VEGF165 stimulated the motility of PAEC/KDR/NRP1. When VEGF165 and collapsin-1 were added simultaneously to PAEC/KDR/NRP1, dorsal root ganglia (DRG), and COS-7/NRP1 cells, they competed with each other in EC motility, DRG collapse, and NRP1-binding assays, respectively, suggesting that the two ligands have overlapping NRP1 binding sites. Collapsin-1 rapidly disrupted the formation of lamellipodia and induced depolymerization of F-actin in an NRP1-dependent manner. In an in vitro angiogenesis assay, collapsin-1 inhibited the capillary sprouting of EC from rat aortic ring segments. These results suggest that collapsin-1 can inhibit EC motility as well as axon motility, that these inhibitory effects on motility are mediated by NRP1, and that VEGF165 and collapsin-1 compete for NRP1-binding sites.

SNARE proteins are known to play a role in regulating intracellular protein transport between donor and target membranes. This docking and fusion process involves the interaction of specific vesicle-SNAREs (e.g. VAMP) with specific cognate target-SNAREs (e.g. syntaxin and SNAP-23). Using human SNAP-23 as the bait in a yeast two-hybrid screen of a human B-lymphocyte cDNA library, we have identified the 287-amino-acid SNARE protein syntaxin 11. Like other syntaxin family members, syntaxin 11 binds to the SNARE proteins VAMP and SNAP-23 in vitro and also exists in a complex with SNAP-23 in transfected HeLa cells and in native human B lymphocytes. Unlike other syntaxin family members, no obvious transmembrane domain is present in syntaxin 11. Nevertheless, syntaxin 11 is predominantly membrane-associated and colocalizes with the mannose 6-phosphate receptor on late endosomes and the trans-Golgi network. These data suggest that syntaxin 11 is a SNARE that acts to regulate protein transport between late endosomes and the trans-Golgi network in mammalian cells.

Recent studies showed that heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) enhances nitric oxide (NO) synthesis from endothelial and neuronal NO synthase (eNOS and nNOS, respectively). However, these findings were based on indirect NO measurements. Moreover, although our previous studies showed that the action of HSP90 involves increased Ca2+/calmodulin (Ca2+/CaM) binding, quantitative measurements of the effect of HSP90 on CaM binding to nNOS have been lacking. With electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, we directly measured NO signals from purified nNOS. HSP90 augmented NO formation from nNOS in a dose-dependent manner. Tryptophan fluorescence-quenching measurements revealed that HSP90 markedly reduced the K d of CaM to nNOS (0.5 ± 0.1 nM vs. 9.4 ± 1.8 nM in the presence and absence of HSP90, P < 0.01). Ca2+ ionophore triggered strong NO production from nNOS-transfected cells, and this was significantly reduced by the HSP90 inhibitor geldanamycin. Thus these studies provide direct evidence demonstrating that HSP90 enhances nNOS catalytic function in vitro and in intact cells. The effect of HSP90 is mediated by the enhancement of CaM binding to nNOS.

The interactions of dipyridamole with α1-acid glycoprotein of plasma and with human platelets are related to inhibition of adenosine uptake by platelets. One mole of dipyridamole binds to one mole of α1-acid glycoprotein with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 1.3 μM. It was found that platelets contain both high and low affinity binding sites for the drug. The binding of dipyridamole to the high affinity sites follows a Michaelis Menten binding pattern with a Kd of 0.04 μM. Approximately 2x104 dipyridamole molecules are bound at the high affinity sites of each platelet. The lower affinity sites bind the drug with a Kd of 4 μM. In the presence of α1acid glycoprotein the binding of dipyridamole to platelets is inhibited. Correspondingly, the dipyridamole inhibition of adenosine uptake by platelets is reduced 1000-fold by α1acid glycoprotein. Binding of dipyridamole to human platelets is essential for its inhibition of adenosine uptake by platelets. Dipyridamole reduced the [14C]-ATP to [14C]-ADP ratio in the platelets. Purified α1acid glycoprotein reversed these effects of dipyridamole on adenosine metabolism of platelets in a concentration dependent manner. A correlationwas observed between the level of circulating dipyridamole in plasma and the inhibition of [14C]-adenosine uptake by platelets of PRP samples of 12 human volunteers given different amounts of dipyridamole. The in vitro and ex vivo effects of dipyridamole on the [14C]-adenosine uptake by platelets were found to be identical. Our data suggest the presence of dipyridamole binding sites in platelets that regulate adenosine transport across the cell surface.
