INTRODUCTION Transport between adjacent compartments in the endocytic and exocytic pathways is thought to be mediated by vesicular carriers (Palade, 1975). All so far identified transport vesicles are coated with distinct coat protein complexes (Rothman and Orci, 1992; Kreis et al., 1995; Schekman and Orci, 1996). Clathrin and adaptor proteins are associated with vesicles involved in endocytosis and transport from the TGN to endosomes (Robinson, 1994). COPII coated vesicles mediate ER to Golgi transport in yeast (Barlowe et al., 1993, 1994), and these proteins have also been identified in mammalian cells (Kuge et al., 1994; Shaywitz et al., 1995; Paccaud et al., 1996; Tang et al., 1997). COPI has been shown to be involved in transport between the ER and the Golgi complex (Hosobuchi et al., 1992; Pepperkok et al., 1993; Peter et al., 1993; Griffiths et al., 1995; Aridor et al., 1995; Bednarek et al., 1995; Letourneur et al., 1994; Cosson et al., 1996), and it is also involved in intra Golgi membrane traffic (Orci et al., 1997). Most recently, membrane transport between the ER and the Golgi complex has been visualized directly in living cells, using a chimera of ts-O45-G with the green fluorescent protein (ts-G-GFP; Scales et al., 1997; Presley et al., 1997). COPII exports ts-G-GFP from the ER into vesicular- tubular clusters (VTCs) which may build up an ‘intermediate compartment’ (IC) when membrane traffic is arrested by incubation of cells at 15°C (for a review see also Bannykh and Balch, 1997). These structures then transform into transport complexes (TCs), probably as COPII is replaced by COPI, and move as entire structures in a microtubule dependent manner to the Golgi complex. It has been suggested that recycling of TC associated factors to the ER by COPI is essential for subsequent delivery of cargo to the Golgi (Scales et al., 1997). A COPI related coat has also been proposed to regulate early to late endosome transport (Whitney et al., 1995; Aniento et al., 1996), and a new complex of coat proteins (AP3) with homologies to clathrin adaptors (AP1 and AP2) has been identified in mammalian cells and yeast (Pevsner et al., 1994; Newman et al., 1995; Simpson et al., 1996; Dell’Angelica, 1997; Cowles et al., 1997). Assembly of these coat proteins onto membranes has been proposed to be the driving force for budding of transport vesicles, and it has been speculated that related coat proteins may be involved in the formation of most, if not all, vesicular carriers mediating distinct membrane transport steps in eukaryotic cells. Some of these coat protein complexes have been shown to 1877 Journal of Cell Science 111, 1877-1888 (1998) Printed in Great Britain © The Company of Biologists Limited 1998 JCS9764 Microinjected GTPγS revealed three distinct steps in the exocytic transport of the temperature sensitive glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (ts-O45-G) from the ER to the cell surface in intact Vero cells.

INTRODUCTION

Transport between adjacent compartments in the endocyticexocytic pathways is thought to be mediated by vesicular carr(Palade, 1975). All so far identified transport vesicles are coawith distinct coat protein complexes (Rothman and Orci, 19Kreis et al., 1995; Schekman and Orci, 1996). Clathrin aadaptor proteins are associated with vesicles involvedendocytosis and transport from the TGN to endosom(Robinson, 1994). COPII coated vesicles mediate ER to Gtransport in yeast (Barlowe et al., 1993, 1994), and these prothave also been identified in mammalian cells (Kuge et al., 19Shaywitz et al., 1995; Paccaud et al., 1996; Tang et al., 19COPI has been shown to be involved in transport between theand the Golgi complex (Hosobuchi et al., 1992; Pepperkok et1993; Peter et al., 1993; Griffiths et al., 1995; Aridor et al., 19Bednarek et al., 1995; Letourneur et al., 1994; Cosson et1996), and it is also involved in intra Golgi membrane traf(Orci et al., 1997).

1997). COPII exports ts-G-GFP from the ER into vesiculatubular clusters (VTCs) which may build up an ‘intermediacompartment’ (IC) when membrane traffic is arrested bincubation of cells at 15°C (for a review see also Bannykh aBalch, 1997). These structures then transform into transpcomplexes (TCs), probably as COPII is replaced by COPI, amove as entire structures in a microtubule dependent mannethe Golgi complex. It has been suggested that recycling of associated factors to the ER by COPI is essential for subseqdelivery of cargo to the Golgi (Scales et al., 1997). A COrelated coat has also been proposed to regulate early to endosome transport (Whitney et al., 1995; Aniento et al., 199and a new complex of coat proteins (AP3) with homologies clathrin adaptors (AP1 and AP2) has been identified mammalian cells and yeast (Pevsner et al., 1994; Newman e1995; Simpson et al., 1996; Dell’Angelica, 1997; Cowles et a1997).

directly interact with vesicular cargo. AP1 and AP2, foexample, can interact with mannose-6-phosphate receptothe TGN and LDL receptor on the plasma membranrespectively (Pearse and Robinson, 1990). COPI interacts wproteins that have an ER retrieval sequence at their carbotermini (Cosson and Letourneur, 1994; Letourneur et al., 19Lowe and Kreis, 1995; Harter et al., 1996; Sohn et al., 19or proteins of the p24 family of membrane proteins with anmotif suggested to mediate anterograde transport (Fiedler e1996), and COPII in yeast has been shown to play a roleselective packaging of cargo into ER derived transport vesic(Rexach et al., 1994; Campbell and Schekman, 199Therefore, it can be assumed that these coat proteins mayplay an important function in sorting of cargo into the differevesicular carriers mediating membrane transport.

Membrane transport is, in addition to coat proteins, aregulated by small ras-like GTPases (Zerial and Huber, 199Members of the Arf protein family, as well as Sar1p, plaessential roles in assembly of coat proteins onto membra(Oka et al., 1991; Donaldson et al., 1991; Palmer et al., 19Robinson and Kreis, 1992; Stamnes and Rothman, 1993; Tret al., 1993; Barlowe et al., 1993; Chen and Shields, 1996; Wet al., 1997), and rab proteins have been shown to play a in targeting and docking of transport vesicles to and wacceptor membranes (Zerial and Stenmark, 1993; Novick Brennwald, 1993; Nuoffer and Balch, 1994). Trimeric proteins have also been implicated in some step of formatiotransport intermediates in the regulated secretory pathw(Leyte et al., 1992; Pimplikar and Simons, 1993). Again, relaprotein families with GTPase activity appear to be ubiquitoand universal regulators of vesicular membrane traffic.

To further characterize the regulation of vesicular membratraffic in the exocytic pathway in living cells, we usemicroinjection of non-hydrolysable nucleotide analogs. Nohydrolysable GTP analogs have been shown to interfere wuncoating of coated vesicles in vitro, a prerequisite fsubsequent fusion of these transport intermediates with tacceptor membranes (Melancon et al., 1987; Beckers Balch, 1989; Barlowe et al., 1994; Oka and Nakano, 199Furthermore, mutants of Arfs and Sar1p affecting their GTPactivities lead to severe disorganization of exocytic membratransport (Dascher and Balch, 1994; Teal et al., 1994; Zh

To visualize eventuinhibitory effects of injected nucleotide analogs in the exocytransport we used as a marker the temperature senstransmembrane glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus, O45-G. This protein accumulates at the nonpermisstemperature (39.5°C) in the ER (Bergmann et al., 198accumulates at 15°C (Saraste and Kuismanen, 1984) or 2(Matlin and Simons, 1983) in the IC or the TGN, respectiveand is transported to the cell surface at 31°C. Three distitransport steps could be identified in vivo by their differesensitivities to GTPγS, corroborating previous results obtaineby in vitro assays or with semi-intact cells. Export from the Eis not affected by GTPγS and requires COPII; transport in TCto the Golgi complex is sensitive to GTPγS and inhibition ofCOPI function; finally, delivery of ts-O45-G from the TGN tothe plasma membrane is inhibited only by high concentratioof GTPγS, but insensitive to perturbation of COPI and COP

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Cell culture, microinjection and immunofluorescencelabelingVero cells (African green monkey kidney cells, ATCC CCL81) wermaintained and infected with ts-O45 VSV (Indiana serotype) described earlier (Kreis and Lodish, 1986). Microinjection waperformed on a computer automated microinjection system (AIS froZeiss) as described (Pepperkok et al., 1993). Immunofluorescenceperformed as described (Pepperkok et al., 1993) with antibodagainst calnexin (Hammond and Helenius, 1994), PDI (Vaux et 1990), cd8 (Ponnambalam et al., 1994), ERGIC53 (Schweizer et 1988), γ-adaptin (Robinson and Kreis, 1992), mammalian KDELreceptor (Griffiths et al., 1994), p58 (Bloom and Brashear, 1989),β-COP (Duden et al., 1991; Pepperkok et al., 1993), β′-COP (Lowe andKreis, 1995), mammalian Sec13p (Tang et al., 1997), rab1a (Saret al., 1995), p200 (Narula et al., 1992) and VSV-G (Kreis, 1986). TGolgi complex in Vero cells stably expressing myc-tagged NAGTwas visualized using a monoclonal antibody against a myc-epito(Evan et al., 1985) as described elsewhere (Pierre et al., 1994).

Fluorescence microscopy and image analysesImages of immunofluorescence-labeled cells were recorded on a Zinverted fluorescence microscope (Axiovert TV135) equipped withcooled, slow scan CCD camera (Photometrics CH250, 1,317×1,035pixels, Tucson, AZ, USA), controlled by a Power Macintos

Images were further processed with the software pacIPLab spectrum V3.0 (Signals Analytics Corp., Vienna, VA, USAbefore printing on either Tmax100 film using a slidewriter IS200(Focus Graphics, Forster City, CA, USA), or on paper using a Xalaser press 1800 (Conware Informatic AG, Baar, Switzerland).

ts-O45-G cell surface labeling was quantified as previously descr(Pepperkok et al., 1993). Co-localization of ts-O45-G with differemarker proteins at 15°C was determined as already described (Grifet al., 1995). For each cell analyzed, a square area (200×200 imagepixels, equivalent to about 15-30% of the total projected cell area) randomly chosen, digitally zoomed using the IPLab software, andvesicular structures positive for ts-O45-G marked by circular overl(with a diameter equivalent to 250 nm in microscope coordinates). different membrane compartment marker proteins investigated windicated in the same way. Two structures were scored as co-localwhen their respective overlays overlapped by more than 50%.

Metabolic labeling and biochemical analyses ofmaturation of ts-O45-G~500 cells, grown on glass coverslips (Pepperkok et al., 1993), winfected with ts-O45 VSV and incubated for 2 hours in normal cultumedium, followed by 10 minutes incubation in labeling mediu(culture medium lacking methionine and cysteine). Cells wemetabolically labeled for 20 minutes with 2.8 mC[35S]methionine/cysteine (Amersham) per ml labeling medium. Cewere then washed and placed into low carbonate culture medcontaining 10µg/ml cycloheximide for microinjection (all incubationsup to this step and the microinjection were done at 39.5°C). Cells wfurther chased (in normal cell culture medium containing 100µg/mlcycloheximide) as indicated in the figure legends. Preparation of lysates, immunoprecipitation of ts-O45-G, endoglycosidase H (enddigestion, gel electrophoresis, and fluorography were performeddescribed elsewhere (Pepperkok et al., 1993).

RESULTS

The small GTPases of the Arf family and Sar1p, when treawith non-hydrolysable GTP analogs (e.g. GTPγS) are shiftedto their activated forms. As a consequence, COPI or COcoat proteins are locked onto membranes, and membtraffic is arrested. We have microinjected GTPγS, recombinantSar1p or Arf1 cDNA into living cells and studied their effecon membrane transport from the ER to the cell surface usts-O45-G as a marker protein.

Transport from the ER, ICs and TGN to the cell surfawas inhibited by GTPγS. As shown in Fig. 1A, the concentrationof GTPγS required to inhibit 50% of transport to the cell surfacwas significantly lower from the ER or ICs (50µM) than fromthe TGN (>200µM). Similar results were obtained whenGMPPNP was microinjected, but only little transport inhibitionwas observed with ATPγS (Fig. 1B).

They werethen fixed and double stained for the viral glycoprotein(A,C) and mammalian Sec13p (B,D). GTPγS injected cells(indicated by asterisks) were identified by the co-injectedcoumarin BSA (not shown). Arrows indicate co-localizingstructures. GTPγS does not interfere with transport of ts-O45-G from the ER to the IC, and the viral glycoprotein co-localises with Sec13p in the IC. Bar, 15µm.

IC through the Golgi complex occurred already with 50µMGTPγS microinjected (Fig. 2B), corroborating that GTPγSinhibits transport from the ER through the Golgi compleInterestingly, no difference could be seen whether transpbegan from the ER or the IC.

To characterize early exocytic membrane transport mprecisely, Vero cells were injected with 500µM GTPγS at39.5°C and incubated for an additional 30 minutes at 39.5°under these conditions ts-O45-G remained arrested in theof injected and neighboring control non-injected cells (Fi3A, 4A). Injection of GTPγS had no visible effect on thedistribution of ER resident proteins calnexin and PDI (nshown) or Sec13p, a component of the COPII complex (F3B). When the temperature was subsequently shifted to 1for 3 hours, ts-O45-G accumulated as in the non-injeccontrol cells in distinct patchy structures characteristic of tIC (Figs 3C, 4C,E,G) and co-localised with Sec13p (Fig. 3CTable 1), as well as KDEL-receptor and ERGIC 53 (not showTable 1), but not with β-COP (Fig. 4C-F), γ-adaptin (notshown; Table 1) or PDI and calnexin (not shown). Thuinjected GTPγS at concentrations up to 500µM (higherconcentrations of GTPγS lead to cell damage) does nointerfere with export of ts-O45-G from the ER. Similar resuwere obtained when GMPPNP was injected (not showMicroinjection of antibodies against β-COP (anti-EAGE),which inhibit ER to Golgi transport in vivo (Pepperkok et a1993), also failed to interfere with export from ER into TC(Fig. 4G,H). A notable feature of cells injected with antibodiehowever, was the complete overlap of ts-O45-G and β-COP(visualized by the microinjected antibodies; Fig. 4G,H, arroindicate co-localizing structures). In summary the results shthat GTPγS does not inhibit accumulation of ts-O45-G in thIC, a process which is independent of COPI.

31°C for 1 hour. While ts-O45-G was transported normally tothe plasma membrane (Fig. 5A,C,E,G) in non-injected controcells or cells injected with cascade blue BSA (not shown), iGTPγS-injected cells it was found arrested in extended tubuleas well as in a few distinct punctate structures (Fig. 5A,C,E,GAgain, these ts-O45-G-containing structures exhibited nsignificant overlap with the smaller β-COP buds or vesiclesthat accumulate under these conditions (Fig. 5A,B,A*,B*), bucoincide precisely with the distribution of ERGIC53 (Fig.5C,D) and KDEL receptor (not shown). Although there wasclearly some overlap in a juxtanuclear region of ts-O45-G withthe Golgi resident enzyme NAGT1 (arrows in Fig. 5E,F), it isnot clear (because of the limited resolution of lightmicroscopy), whether this fraction of viral glycoprotein hadtruly entered the Golgi complex or just accumulated onmembranes neighboring the Golgi complex. In fact, oubiochemical analyses indicate that GTPγS inhibits ts-O45-G’sacquisition of endoH resistance by only ~50% (Fig. 2).

Injection of GTPγS had no effect on the distribution ofSec13p (Figs 3, 5G,H), and when cells with ts-O45-Gaccumulated in the ER or in the IC had been shifted to thpermissive temperature, little of the viral glycoproteinremained co-localised with this COPII subunit (Fig. 5G,H).Furthermore, we observed no effect on the distribution orab1a, a small GTPase involved in ER to Golgi transpor(Tisdale et al., 1992; Satoh et al., 1997) in cells microinjectewith 500 µM GTPγS (Fig. 6A,B). In contrast, microinjectedGTPγS induced a dramatic redistribution of β-COP, a subunitof COPI. Compared to non-injected cells, the juxtanuclealabeling of β-COP in the Golgi region was significantlydecreased and a large number of β-COP positive, apparentlyvesicular structures accumulated (Figs 4B, 5B). Similaeffects, albeit initially less dramatic, were also observed incells which were injected with cDNA of the Arf1[Q71L]mutant (Zhang et al., 1994) deficient in GTP hydrolysis (Fig6D,F).

Treatment of cells with brefeldin A (BFA), a drug whichinhibits binding of COPI to membranes (Donaldson et a1990), did not change this GTPγS induced altered distributionof β-COP (not shown; see also Donaldson et al., 199Therefore, the GTPγS induced β-COP positive structures aremost likely vesicles or buds which have accumulated as Arlocked in its activated state with bound nonhydrolyzabGTPγS (Tanigawa et al., 1993). When cells with injecteGTPγS and ts-O45-G accumulated at 15°C where shifted to permissive temperature, the viral glycoprotein moved intubular structures containing ERGIG53 and KDEL receptbut little or no β-COP (Table 1). Furthermore, under thesconditions, COPI positive vesicular structures contained litts-O45-G (Fig. 5A,B; Table 1). Similar results were obtainewhen cells were injected with ARF1[Q71L] cDNA instead owith 500µM GTPγS; in these cells transport of ts-O45-G (noshown), CD8 or ERGIC53 is also arrested in tubular arra(Fig. 6C-F). Thus we conclude that GTPγS affects most likelyArf1 and dramatically shifts the normal steady staequilibrium of cytosolic and membrane bound coatomtowards the membrane bound form and induces a bursbudding vesicles which do not appear to contain significaamounts of cargo.

A dominant negative SAR1a mutant inhibited in GTPhydrolysis interferes with export of ts-O45-G fromthe ER but not from TCs to the plasma membraneBudding of COPII coated vesicles from ER membranedepends on Sar1p GTPase activity (Barlowe et al., 199Bednarek et al., 1995), and fusion incompetent COPII coatvesicles form in the presence of GTPγS in vitro (Oka andNakano, 1994; Barlowe et al., 1994). Therefore, GTPγS shouldinhibit ER to Golgi transport by preventing COPII coatedvesicles from fusing with their target membranes. Transport oof the ER appeared not to be significantly altered or inhibitein the presence of either GTPγS or GMPPNP (Fig. 3, and datanot shown). To address more directly the role of Sar1p in Eto Golgi transport in vivo we purified recombinant protein froma dominant negative SAR1a mutant, inhibited in GTPhydrolysis (SAR1a [H79G]; Aridor et al., 1995). The purifiedprotein was microinjected at 39.5, 15 or 20°C into cells with tO45-G arrested in the ER, IC or TGN, respectivelyMicroinjected cells were subsequently incubated for 1 hour 31°C and effects on transport of the viral glycoproteivisualized by immunofluorescence as described for infectcells injected with GTPγS. While Sar1a[H79G]p completelyblocked transport from the ER to the plasma membrane, it h

At 20°C ts-O45-G was concentrated in the juxtanuclGolgi region (presumably the TGN) and co-localised wip200/myosin II (Fig. 9A,B). No apparent difference betweeinjected and non-injected cells could be observed. Under thconditions more than 90% of ts-O45-G was endoH resistant sensitive to neuraminidase (not shown), corroborating observation that the viral glycoprotein had accumulated in trans-Golgi/TGN. Most of the ts-O45-G remained arrested in tTGN in the juxtanuclear region positive for p200/myosin II anNAGT1 in cells injected with 500µM GTPγS upon shifting to31°C, while in non-injected cells it reached the plasmmembrane normally (Fig. 9A,C,E). Only a few ts-O45-positive vesicular structures could be detected after injectioncontrast, numerous vesicular ts-O45-G containing transpintermediates formed after a five minute release of the 20TGN transport block in non-injected cells (Fig. 10A; see alGriffiths et al., 1995). These vesicular structures did nsignificantly label with antibodies recognizing p200/myosin (Fig. 10A,B), β-COP (see Griffiths et al., 1995), γ-adaptin, orNAGT1 (not shown). Interestingly, these vesicular structuralso formed in cells incubated with BFA (Fig. 10C,D), whichas been shown to rapidly remove p200/myosin II from Gomembranes (Narula et al., 1992), suggesting that their budddoes not require p200/myosin II (or COPI).

these observations, microinjection of neither anti-EAGE nanti-p200 (antibodies which recognize p200 in vivo, injectebefore or after accumulation of ts-O45-G in the TGN; noshown) interfere with transport of ts-O45-G from the TGN tthe plasma membrane (Fig. 11; see also Pepperkok et al., 19Furthermore, BFA did not interfere with the kinetics of transpoof ts-O45-G to the cell surface within the first 15 minutes afttemperature shift from 20 to 31°C, but inhibited transport to thcell surface at later time points (Fig. 11).

DISCUSSION

ts-O45-G is an excellent marker transmembrane protein studying exocytic transport from the ER to the cell surface; it arrested in the ER at the nonpermissive temperature, in theat 15°C and in the TGN at 20°C, and transported to the csurface from each of these compartments at the permisstemperature. Here we show for the first time directly in livinmammalian cells that transport of ts-O45-G in either TCs from the TGN is sensitive to different concentrations of GTPγS.The three transport steps from the ER to the plasma membrthus appear to depend on different GTPases and, asconsequence, are most likely regulated by different coat prote

Export of ts-O45-G from the ER is not inhibited by thehighest concentrations of GTPγS or GMPPNP (500 µM) testedin vivo, nor by antibodies against β-COP (anti-EAGE). Indeed

it has been shown that GTPγS is an at least 50-fold less goodsubstrate for Sar1p than it is for Arf1 (Aridor et al., 1995); thuwhile export of viral glycoprotein from the ER is blocked icells microinjected with GTP restricted Sar1a[H79G]pmicroinjected GTPγS had no effect on this first exocyticmembrane transport step. Compelling in vitro data (Oka et 1991; Oka and Nakano, 1994; Barlowe et al., 1994; Bednaet al., 1995) and experiments in vivo in mammalian cells wSar1p and mutants of that GTPase (Kuge et al., 1994; Ariet al., 1995) strongly suggest that COPII is essential for expof membrane proteins from the ER in yeast and mammalcells. Our results are consistent with these data and conthat in vivo GTPγS does not inhibit the formation of COPIIcoated vesicles transporting ts-O45-G out of the ER towaVTCs, where they accumulate but are probably inhibited fuse because Sar1p, deficient in GTP hydrolysis, cannot releCOPII (Barlowe et al., 1994; Oka and Nakano, 1994).

While export from the ER was not affected by either GTPanalogues or anti-EAGE, both reagents efficiently inhibitetransport in TCs to the Golgi complex, suggesting that COPI involved in membrane traffic between VTCs and the Golgcomplex but not in export from the ER. MicroinjectedSar1a[H79G]p on the other hand had no effect on VTC to Gotransport. The simplest explanation for these results is that, whCOPII regulates ER export, COPI is involved in regulating thsubsequent delivery of cargo in TCs to the Golgi complex. Theresults also support previous in vitro results with digitoninpermeabilized cells suggesting that COPII directs export cargo (ts-O45-G) from the ER and that COPII and COPI coaare sequentially coupled to regulate transport between the and Golgi complex (Aridor et al., 1995; Bannykh et al., 1996Consistent with that conclusion we have recently shown that β-COP co-localizes predominantly with TCs carrying ts-O45-G tthe Golgi complex (Griffiths et al., 1995; Scales et al., 1997providing further evidence for an important role of COPI in earlanterograde membrane traffic. Interestingly, however, about hof the coatomer positive vesicular structures did not contain vircargo, suggesting that COPI may also be associated wrecycling or retrograde transport vehicles (Griffiths et al., 199Kreis et al., 1995). Genetic evidence indeed strongly suggestrole for COPI in retrieval of material from the Golgi complex tothe ER (Letourneur et al., 1994; Cosson et al., 1996). In additiomicroinjected anti-EAGE inhibit transport between the ER anGolgi complex (Pepperkok et al., 1993) and block BFA inducerelocation of Golgi enzymes to the ER by inhibiting dissociatioof coatomer from membranes (Scheel et al., 1997). FurthermoGolgi derived COPI coated vesicles carry predominantly KDELreceptor (Sönnichsen et al., 1996), involved in retrievinmissorted ER proteins (Lewis and Pelham, 1992). While COappears to mediate transport in both directions through the Gocomplex (Orci et al., 1997; see also Schekman and Mellma1997), we propose that COPI regulates membrane trafbetween the ER and Golgi complex in a different way. Thsimplest model explaining the available data on the function COPI suggests that this coat moves with TCs to the Gocomplex (Scales et al., 1997) and on its way is responsible the retrieving, for example, of SNAREs and factors required COPII dependent vesicle budding to the ER. Inhibition of thfunction by microinjection of specific antibodies or GTPγSinterferes with retrieval of these factors and inhibits normadelivery of cargo to the Golgi complex.

Injection of GTPγS had also a profound effect on thedistribution of coatomer. β-COP no longer accumulated in theperinuclear region of these cells, but instead was scatterthroughout the cytoplasm in numerous vesicular structures

buds. While in these injected cells, ts-O45-G colocalized asthe control cells with the proteins normally accumulating in tIC at 15°C (e.g. ERGIC53, Sec13p, KDEL receptor), little β-COP could be found colocalizing with any of these proteins.addition, shifting cells injected with GTPγS from 15°C to thepermissive temperature lead to accumulation of ts-O45-Gtubular structures (similar to cells that had been injected wanti-EAGE; see Pepperkok et al., 1993 and Scheel et al., 19but little overlap between β-COP and cargo could be seen. Wconclude from these results that while injected anti-EAGenhances binding of COPI to membranes and inhibits bformation (Scheel et al., 1997), GTPγS in vivo also enhancesthe binding of coatomer onto membranes (as has bpreviously shown in vitro by Malhotra et al., 1989 anDonaldson et al., 1991) but subsequently induces the formaof buds or vesicles. To our surprise, however, most of thstructures appeared devoid of cargo, suggesting that Ghydrolysis plays an important role in the coordinated coupliof sorting and budding of transport vesicles. While the cructarget(s) in this process remains to be definitively establishArf is most likely one, since similar results where obtained wthe GTP-restricted ARF[Q71L] mutant. Furthermore, rabappeared not to be significantly affected by the injection GTPγS or expression of ARF[Q71L]. We are currently furtheinvestigating this observation, since it may lead to importa

Inhibition of transport of ts-O45-G from the TGN to theplasma membrane required microinjection of at least five timehigher GTPγS concentrations than those inhibiting transport inTCs to the Golgi complex. This result suggests that thGTPase(s) involved in this transport step must be distinct frothose regulating early exocytic membrane traffic (see also Milleand Moore, 1991; Xu and Shields, 1993; Pimplikar and Simon1993; Barr and Huttner, 1996; Chen and Shields, 1996; Simoet al., 1996). Since all transport vesicles identified so far acoated with specific proteins and regulated by small GTPasesis likely that TGN to cell surface transport is also mediated bspecific coated vesicles. Indeed, TGN associated coated bucontaining ts-O45-G have already been described and they negative for clathrin and COPI (Griffiths et al., 1985, 1995Duden et al., 1991). A candidate for a protein associated wicoats on TGN buds is p200/myosin II (Narula and Stow, 1995Ikonen et al., 1997); its binding to Golgi membranes is BFAsensitive p200 (Narula et al., 1992). This protein has beeimplicated in the formation of transport containing VSV-Gvesicles from the TGN (Müsch et al., 1997). Some experimentdata indicate, however, that p200/myosin II may not be directinvolved in the transport of ts-O45-G to the cell surface. Cytoso

inhibitory effect on TGN-plasma membrane transport of ts-O45G. Moreover, vesicles containing ts-O45-G can still form in thpresence of BFA (which dissociates p200/myosin II from Golgmembranes), when cells with the glycoprotein accumulated 20°C in the TGN are shifted briefly to the permissivetemperature; about 50% of the viral glycoprotein will reach thcell surface in the presence of this drug. While we assume thp200/myosin II may not be essential for the final vesicle buddinstep from the TGN, it is possible that a BFA sensitive coat oscaffold (including p200/myosin II) may be involved in primingthe budding reaction during the 20°C incubation, and that thtransport to the cell surface is no longer fully BFA andp200/myosin II sensitive. While BFA was previously shown toinhibit constitutive secretion of heparan sulfate proteoglycan ants-O45-G from the TGN in vitro (Rosa et al., 1992; Miller et al.1992), it has recently also been reported that BFA does ninhibit transport of prohormone in GH3 cells from the TGN tothe cell surface in vitro (Xu and Shields, 1993). In contrast, has been shown by the same group that Arf1 is involved prohormone transport (Chen and Shields, 1996). We cannconclude whether or not an Arf-like protein is involved in TGNto cell surface membrane traffic, nor do we know the coaproteins that mediate this last step in exocytic membrane traffBut the observation that TGN to cell surface membrane traffof ts-O45-G is sensitive to GTPγS in vivo should facilitate theidentification of the relevant new coat proteins.
