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.

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.

Photoaffinity labeling has been performed on pancreatic zymogen granule membranes using 8-azido-[α-32P]ATP (8-N3-ATP). Proteins of 92, 67, 53, and 35 kdaltons (kDa) were specifically labeled. ATP (100 μM) inhibited very strongly the labeling with 8-N3-ATP, while ADP was much less potent, AMP and cAMP being inefficient. The apparent constants for 8-N3-ATP binding were in the micromolar concentration range for the four labeled proteins. Without irradiation, 8-N3-ATP was a competitive inhibitor (Ki = 2.66 μM) for the hydrolysis of ATP by the ATP diphosphohydrolase. The optimal conditions for the photolabeling of the 92- and 53-kDa proteins were pH 6.0 in presence of divalent cations. On the other hand the 67- and 35-kDa proteins required an alkaline pH and the addition of EDTA in the photolabeling medium. No proteins could be labeled on intact zymogen granules, showing that all the high-affinity ATP-binding sites of the membrane were located at the interior of the granule. Both the 92- and 53-kDa glycoproteins could bind to concanavalin A–Sepharose and be extracted in the detergent phase in the Triton X-114 phase separation system. These latter properties are typical of integral membrane proteins. In addition, the 53-kDa labeled protein was sensitive to endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase digestion. Photolabeling with 8-N3-ATP of two different preparations of purified ATP diphosphohydrolase also led to the labeling of a 53-kDa protein. Thus among the four proteins labeled with 8-N3-ATP on the pancreatic zymogen granule membrane, the 53-kDa integral membrane glycoprotein was shown to bear the catalytic site of the ATP diphosphohydrolase.

Heterotetrameric adaptor protein (AP) complexes play key roles in protein sorting and transport vesicle formation in the endomembrane system of eukaryotic cells. One of these complexes, AP-4, was identified over 20 years ago but, up until recently, its function remained unclear. AP-4 associates with the trans-Golgi network (TGN) through interaction with small GTPases of the ARF family and recognizes transmembrane proteins (i.e. cargos) having specific sorting signals in their cytosolic domains. Recent studies identified accessory proteins (tepsin, RUSC2 and the FHF complex) that co-operate with AP-4, and cargos (amyloid precursor protein, ATG9A and SERINC3/5) that are exported from the TGN in an AP-4-dependent manner. Defective export of ATG9A from the TGN in AP-4-deficient cells was shown to reduce ATG9A delivery to pre-autophagosomal structures, impairing autophagosome formation and/or maturation. In addition, mutations in AP-4-subunit genes were found to cause neurological dysfunction in mice and a form of complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia referred to as ‘AP-4-deficiency syndrome’ in humans. These findings demonstrated that mammalian AP-4 is required for the development and function of the central nervous system, possibly through its role in the sorting of ATG9A for the maintenance of autophagic homeostasis. In this article, we review the properties and functions of AP-4, and discuss how they might explain the clinical features of AP-4 deficiency.

Immature Secretory Granule

We have previously characterized the processing of secretogranin II (SgII) in PC12 cells that were stably transfected with the endopeptidase PC2. Here we show that processing of SgII can be observed in isolated immature secretory granules (ISGs) derived from this cell line in a temperature- and ATP-dependent manner. The stimulatory effect of ATP on processing can be attributed to the activation of the vacuolar H+-ATPase and a concomitant decrease in intragranular pH. The immature secretory granule therefore provides an adequate environment for correct processing of SgII by PC2. The rate of SgII processing was strongly dependent on the intragranular pH, suggesting that processing of SgII can be used as a pH indicator for the granule interior. A standard curve was prepared using SgII processing in ISGs equilibrated at a range of pH values. The extent of processing in ISGs incubated in the presence of ATP at physiological pH was compared with the standard curve, and the intragranular pH was determined. From these observations, we propose an intragranular pH of 6.3±0.1 for ISGs in a physiological buffer in the presence of ATP. Hence, the pH of ISGs seems to be similar to the pH of the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and is clearly higher than the pH of mature secretory granules (pH 5.0–5.5). Interestingly, no processing of SgII could be observed in a membrane fraction that is highly enriched in TGN under conditions for which processing was readily obtained in isolated ISGs.

Different Levels

The major protein of the pig pancreatic zymogen granule membrane is an integral glycoprotein of 92 × 103 daltons (Da) which amounts to 25% of the total proteins of this membrane. When zymogen granule membranes were prepared in presence of 5 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), this glycoprotein specifically vanished from the membrane preparation. During membrane purification two other fractions were produced out of the purified granules: a soluble fraction of zymogens referred to as granule content and a dense pellet. The possibility that DTT could release the 92-kDa protein from the membrane to these other fractions has been rejected. Altogether, addition of DTT during the lysis of the granules induced a total degradation of the 92-kDa protein. This hydrolysis could be inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride but not by N-α-p-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone or L-1-tosylamide-2-phenylethylchloromethyl ketone. In the course of these experiments, using gel filtration of the granule content, it was found that the 92-kDa protein was also present in the granule content in the form of an aggregate of 300 kDa. A protease was present in this aggregate and could hydrolyse the 92-kDa protein upon addition of DTT. From immunoblotting studies and rocket immunoelectrophoresis, it was found that the soluble 92-kDa protein was antigenically similar to the membrane protein and that 44% of the immunoreactive glycoprotein of the granule was soluble in the content. A cross-reacting fragment of 65 kDa has been observed in all the fractions, yet at different levels. It is concluded that as much of the 92-kDa protein is soluble in the content as it is anchored in the membrane. The protease responsible for its degradation upon addition of DTT seems to be closely associated with the protein and could be involved in its posttranslational solubilization leading to its secretion.

Initial Capture

The KDEL-retrieval pathway captures escaped ER proteins with a KDEL or variant C-terminal signal at acidic pH in the Golgi and releases them at neutral pH in the ER. To address the mechanism of signal binding and the molecular basis for differences in signal affinity, we determined the HDEL and RDEL bound structures of the KDEL-receptor. Affinity differences are explained by interactions between the variable -4 position of the signal and W120, whereas initial capture of retrieval signals by their carboxyl-terminus is mediated by a baton-relay mechanism involving a series of conserved arginine residues in the receptor. This explains how the signal is first captured and then pulled into the binding cavity. During capture, retrieval signals undergo a selective proofreading step involving two gatekeeper residues D50 and E117 in the receptor. These mechanisms operate upstream of the pH-dependent closure of the receptor and explain the selectivity of the KDEL-retrieval pathway.

To identify antigens on the platelet plasma membrane that are exposed after activation, we developed a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) designated RUU-SP 1.77. The RUU-SP 1.77 antigen is present on the membrane of resting platelets at a basal level and is strongly expressed on the plasma membrane after thrombin activation. Freshly fixed platelets bound 4,150 +/- 1,935 (mean +/- SD) RUU-SP 1.77 molecules per platelet; on fixed thrombin-stimulated platelets the number of binding sites was upregulated to 19,050 +/- 5,120 (kd 4.5 +/- 0.8 nmol/L). MoAb RUU-SP 1.77 recognized a major protein of 33 Kd and a minor 28-Kd protein, both under nonreduced and reduced conditions. Immunoelectron microscopic studies showed the presence of the protein associated with the membrane of alpha-granules. Due to the localization associated with the alpha-granule membrane, we have designated it GMP-33 (granule membrane protein with a molecular weight of 33 Kd). Based on structural properties, we conclude that GMP-33 is a protein associated with the alpha-granule membrane that has not been described before.

ABSTRACTThe Wilson disease protein, ATP7B maintains copper (herein referring to the Cu+ ion) homeostasis in the liver. ATP7B traffics from trans-Golgi network to endolysosomes to export excess copper. Regulation of ATP7B trafficking to and from endolysosomes is not well understood. We investigated the fate of ATP7B after copper export. At high copper levels, ATP7B traffics primarily to acidic, active hydrolase (cathepsin-B)-positive endolysosomes and, upon subsequent copper chelation, returns to the trans-Golgi network (TGN). At high copper, ATP7B colocalizes with endolysosomal markers and with a core member of retromer complex, VPS35. Knocking down VPS35 did not abrogate the copper export function of ATP7B or its copper-responsive anterograde trafficking to vesicles; rather upon subsequent copper chelation, ATP7B failed to relocalize to the TGN, which was rescued by overexpressing wild-type VPS35. Overexpressing mutants of the retromer complex-associated proteins Rab7A and COMMD1 yielded a similar non-recycling phenotype of ATP7B. At high copper, VPS35 and ATP7B are juxtaposed on the same endolysosome and form a large complex that is stabilized by in vivo photoamino acid labeling and UV-crosslinking. We demonstrate that retromer regulates endolysosome to TGN trafficking of copper transporter ATP7B in a manner that is dependent upon intracellular copper.
