Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are ubiquitous endocytic organelles containing numerous 50-80 nm vesicles. MVBs are very dynamic in shape and function. In antigen presenting cells (APCs), MVBs play a central role in the loading of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) with antigenic peptides. How MHC II is transported from MVBs to the cell surface is only partly understood. One way involves direct fusion of MVBs with the plasma membrane. As a consequence, their internal vesicles are secreted as so-called exosomes. An alternative has been illustrated in maturing dendritic cells (DCs). Here, MVBs are reshaped into long tubules by back fusion of the internal vesicles with the MVB limiting membrane. Vesicles derived from the tips of these tubules then carry MHC II to the cell surface. 相似文献

Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are endocytic compartments that contain intraluminal vesicles formed by inward budding from the limiting membrane of endosomes. In T lymphocytes, these vesicles contain pro-apoptotic Fas ligand (FasL), which may be secreted as 'lethal exosomes' upon fusion of MVBs with the plasma membrane. Diacylglycerol kinase α (DGKα) regulate the secretion of exosomes, but it is unclear how this control is mediated. T-lymphocyte activation increases the number of MVBs that contain FasL. DGKα is recruited to MVBs and to exosomes in which it has a double function. DGKα kinase activity exerts a negative role in the formation of mature MVBs, as we demonstrate by the use of an inhibitor. Downmodulation of DGKα protein resulted in inhibition of both the polarisation of MVBs towards immune synapse and exosome secretion. The subcellular location of DGKα together with its complex role in the formation and polarised traffic of MVBs support the notion that DGKα is a key regulator of the polarised secretion of exosomes. 相似文献

Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are cholesterol-enriched organelles formed by the endocytic pathway. The topology of vesicle formation in MVBs is identical to that of retroviral budding from the plasma membrane, and budding of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) into MVBs in macrophages has recently been visualized. The Gag proteins from HIV-1, as well as many other retroviruses, contain short motifs that mediate interactions with MVBs and other endocytic components, suggesting that Gag proteins directly interface with the endocytic pathway. Here, we show that HIV-1 Gag contains an internalization signal that promotes endocytosis of a chimeric transmembrane fusion protein. Mutation of this motif within Gag strongly inhibits virus-like particle production. Moreover, wild-type Gag, but not the internalization-defective mutation, can be induced to accumulate within CD63-positive MVBs by treatment of cells with U18666A, a drug that redistributes cholesterol from the plasma membrane to MVBs. We propose that HIV-1 Gag contains a signal that promotes interaction with the cellular endocytic machinery and that the site of particle production is regulated by the subcellular distribution of cholesterol. 相似文献

We have previously shown that an active epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) kinase is necessary for efficient sorting of the EGF-R to the lysosome, and we have shown that this occurs in the multivesicular body (MVB), where EGF-R are sorted away from recycling receptors by being removed to the internal vesicles of the MVB. The aim of the present study was to identify substrates of the EGF-R kinase associated with MVBs which might play a role in this sorting process. We used a density shift technique to isolate MVBs and show that the major substrates phosphorylated in vitro within MVBs which contain an active EGF-R kinase are the EGF-R itself and annexin I. Annexin I is associated with both plasma membrane and MVBs in a calcium-independent manner but can be phosphorylated in vitro only in MVBs. Phosphorylation of calcium-independent annexin I in isolated MVBs converts it to a form that requires calcium for membrane association. In cells with an active EGF-R kinase the amount of calcium-independent annexin I in MVBs is reduced, suggesting that a phosphorylation-induced conversion of the calcium independent to the calcium-dependent form also occurs in vivo. Our observations, together with the known properties of annexin I in mediating membrane fusion, suggest that inward vesiculation in MVBs is induced by the EGF-R and is mediated by phosphorylated annexin I. 相似文献

Vitellogenesis of developing oocytes of a Dipteran insect Chironomus thummi has been investigated. The onset of yolk deposition is marked by the differentiation of the oolemma including the formation of microvilli and endocytosis. These changes are accompanied by the appearance of small electrondense granules, similar in density to the yolk platelets, arising through the sequential accumulation of material into the matrices of the multivesicullar bodies (MVBs). These latter structures are produced in the previtellogenic oocytes of the pharate pupae and early pharate adults. Often the limiting membrane of the MVBs bears bristle coats resembling those of the coated vesicles of pinocytotic origin, suggesting that it is through the fusion with the pinocytotic vesicles that the accumulation of dense material in the MVBs results. That the MVBs transform into structures resembling yolk granules is supported by statistical analysis which indicates that the decrease in the number of electron-dense MVBs coincides with the increase in the occurrence of small dense yolk granules.
In the late pharate adult stage the yolk granules are considerably larger than those of earlier stages. It is during this period that at least one type of electron-dense granule occurs at the oocytefollicle cell border, and that these apparently contribute to the formation of the vitelline envelope.
The results of the present study indicate that preformed oocytic elements, the MVBs, play a strategic role in the formation and arrangement of the yolk granules in Chironomus. Since these structures account for the bulk of the ooplasm, it appears that the MVBs are at least partly responsible for the correct ordering of the cytoplasmic constituents of the oocytes, which is critical for the proper development and differentiation of the embryo. 相似文献

The phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is known to arrest mitotic activity and induce macrophage differentiation in the U-937 monoblastic cell line. The acute effect of TPA on ultrastructural morphology and endocytic activity of U-937 cells was studied. TPA induced within 15 min a marked enlargement of multivesicular bodies (MVBs), comprising both volume and number of inclusion vesicles (other organelles appeared unchanged). At this stage the MBVs frequently showed tubular cytoplasmic extensions. Inclusion vesicles accumulated in MBVs with prolonged incubation (60 min). Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and cationized ferritin (CF) added to the medium were routed preferentially to MVBs in TPA-stimulated cells. In contrast to MVBs of unstimulated cells many of the TPA-induced MVBs showed a positive cytochemical reaction to acid phosphatase. The MVBs in cells incubated with ionomycin, a calcium ionophore, did not differ from those of unstimulated cells. Cellular uptake of 125I-HRP was increased five times the control values already after 5 min of TPA stimulation. The uptake increased further with prolonged incubation (60 min), but at a slower rate. Together these indicate a TPA-induced transfer by endocytosis of portions of the plasma membrane to the lysosomal system via MVBs. Consideration of MVBs as part of the receptor-mediated endocytic pathway suggests that this effect of TPA might involve down-regulation of cell-surface receptors. The possibility of MVBs as a proton-sequestrating compartment, responsible for the cytoplasmic alkalinization previously reported for TPA-stimulated U-937 monoblastic cells, is discussed. 相似文献

Multivesicular bodies play a key role in vitellogenin endocytosis by Xenopus oocytes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A combination of electron microscopic tracers and subcellular fractionation has been used to examine the endocytic pathway of the yolk protein precursor, vitellogenin (VG), in Xenopus oocytes. VG was adsorbed to colloidal gold, and the organelles traversed by newly internalized ligand were examined at various time intervals after endocytosis. VG-Au enters oocytes via coated pits and vesicles and then appears rapidly in tubular endosomes and multivesicular bodies (MVBs). MVBs play a central role in VG processing for storage; the large majority of newly internalized VG enters this compartment, remaining there for up to several hours. Condensation of VG into crystalline bodies begins in MVBs, and continues with growth of the crystals until typical platelets are formed. When oocytes are exposed to high [VG], MVBs containing large amounts of internalized VG are morphologically indistinguishable from the primordial yolk platelets described earlier (Dumont, 1978). The use of VG-Au particles of two sizes demonstrates that gold particles in early MVBs were generally associated with the limiting membrane of these organelles, while older MVB compartments have gold particles well separated from the limiting membranes, suggesting that dissociation of VG from its receptor occurs in this compartment. Newly internalized ligand preferentially forms a new MVB, rather than fusing and mixing with previously formed MVBs. Progressive yolk protein condensation gradually transforms MVBs into yolk platelets over a period of several hours. Analysis of 125I-VG-Au behavior after sucrose gradient fractionation of oocytes allowed correlation of biochemical compartments with those observed in the electron microscope. MVBs containing yolk in progressive stages of condensation were found at densities from 1.16 up to 1.21 g/cc. The final, rate-limiting step in VG transport is a shift of ligand from light (1.21 g/cc) to heavy (1.23 g/cc) platelet compartments (Wall and Meleka, 1985). The morphological correlate of this process is movement of VG-Au from small (less than 3-4 microns diameter) to large (greater than 4 microns diameter) platelets. 相似文献

Rab11 promotes docking and fusion of multivesicular bodies in a calcium-dependent manner 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are membranous structures within 60-100 nm diameter vesicles accumulate. MVBs are generated after invagination and pinching off of the endosomal membrane in the lumen of the vacuole. In certain cell types, fusion of MVBs with the plasma membrane results in the release of the internal vesicles called exosomes. In this report we have examined how an increase in cytosolic calcium affects the development of MVBs and exosome release in K562 cells overexpressing GFP-Rab11 wt or its mutants. In cells overexpressing the Rab11Q70 L mutant or Rab11 wt, an increase in the cytosolic calcium concentration induced by monensin caused a marked enlargement of the MVBs. This effect was abrogated by the membrane permeant calcium chelator BAPTA-AM. We also examined the behavior of MVBs in living cells by time lapse confocal microscopy. Many MVBs, decorated by wt or Q70L mutant GFP-Rab11, were docked and ready to fuse in the presence of a calcium chelator. This observation suggests that Rab11 is acting in the tethering/docking of MVBs to promote homotypic fusion, but that the final fusion reaction requires the presence of calcium. Additionally, a rise in intracellular calcium concentration enhanced exosome secretion in Rab11 wt overexpressing cells and reversed the inhibition of the mutants. The results suggest that both Rab11 and calcium are involved in the homotypic fusion of MVBs. 相似文献

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a tick-borne bunyavirus causing outbreaks of severe disease in humans, with a fatality rate approaching 30%. There are no widely accepted therapeutics available to prevent or treat the disease. CCHFV enters host cells through clathrin-mediated endocytosis and is subsequently transported to an acidified compartment where the fusion of virus envelope with cellular membranes takes place. To better understand the uptake pathway, we sought to identify host factors controlling CCHFV transport through the cell. We demonstrate that after passing through early endosomes in a Rab5-dependent manner, CCHFV is delivered to multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Virus particles localized to MVBs approximately 1 hour after infection and affected the distribution of the organelle within cells. Interestingly, blocking Rab7 activity had no effect on association of the virus with MVBs. Productive virus infection depended on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity, which meditates the formation of functional MVBs. Silencing Tsg101, Vps24, Vps4B, or Alix/Aip1, components of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) pathway controlling MVB biogenesis, inhibited infection of wild-type virus as well as a novel pseudotyped vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) bearing CCHFV glycoprotein, supporting a role for the MVB pathway in CCHFV entry. We further demonstrate that blocking transport out of MVBs still allowed virus entry while preventing vesicular acidification, required for membrane fusion, trapped virions in the MVBs. These findings suggest that MVBs are necessary for infection and are the sites of virus-endosome membrane fusion. 相似文献

The plant trans-Golgi network/early endosome (TGN/EE) is a major hub for secretory and endocytic trafficking with complex molecular mechanisms controlling sorting and transport of cargo. Vacuolar transport from the TGN/EE to multivesicular bodies/late endosomes (MVBs/LEs) is assumed to occur via clathrin-coated vesicles, although direct proof for their participation is missing. Here, we present evidence that post-TGN transport toward lytic vacuoles occurs independently of clathrin and that MVBs/LEs are derived from the TGN/EE through maturation. We show that the V-ATPase inhibitor concanamycin A significantly reduces the number of MVBs and causes TGN and MVB markers to colocalize in Arabidopsis thaliana roots. Ultrastructural analysis reveals the formation of MVBs from the TGN/EE and their fusion with the vacuole. The localization of the ESCRT components VPS28, VPS22, and VPS2 at the TGN/EE and MVBs/LEs indicates that the formation of intraluminal vesicles starts already at the TGN/EE. Accordingly, a dominant-negative mutant of VPS2 causes TGN and MVB markers to colocalize and blocks vacuolar transport. RNA interference-mediated knockdown of the annexin ANNAT3 also yields the same phenotype. Together, these data indicate that MVBs originate from the TGN/EE in a process that requires the action of ESCRT for the formation of intraluminal vesicles and annexins for the final step of releasing MVBs as a transport carrier to the vacuole. 相似文献

Plasma lipoproteins (and other ligands) are endocytosed by hepatocytes and appear in multivesicular bodies (MVBs) in the Golgi-lysosome region of the cell prior to their degradation. We have isolated MVB fractions from livers of estradiol-treated rats, permitting studies of their properties (Hornick et al. 1985). Here we report our cytochemical studies of lysosomal enzyme activity in partially and highly purified MVB fractions and in MVBs in hepatocytes in situ. Only about 15% of partially or highly purified MVBs were positive for acid phosphatase and arylsulfatase, consistent with the prelysosomal nature of this compartment. Partially purified MVB fractions contained small round vesicles, 70-120 nm in diameter, which stained intensely for these enzymes; occasionally these vesicles appeared to fuse with MVBs, suggesting that these structures are primary lysosomes. Such stained vesicles were rarely seen in highly purified MVB preparations. Acid phosphatase reaction product with cerium as capture reagent appeared as uniform precipitates surrounding endocytosed plasma lipoproteins in positively stained MVBs. Arylsulfatase reaction product, however, appeared as distinctive arc or plaque-like deposits just inside the MVB-limiting membrane, often in continuity with intense reaction product contained in a fusing primary lysosome. Similar putative primary lysosomes were occasionally observed in isolated, "intact" Golgi fractions from the same livers. Similar histochemical reactivities of MVBs and putative primary lysosomes were observed in thin sections of hepatocytes in situ. These observations support the conclusion that, in hepatocytes, MVBs represent the immediate prelysosomal compartment in the endocytic pathway of macromolecular catabolism, and suggest that MVBs are converted to secondary lysosomes by direct fusion with primary lysosomes arising from closely adjacent Golgi compartments. 相似文献

Multivesicular endosomes/bodies (MVBs) contain intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) that bud away from the cytoplasm. Multiple mechanisms of ILV formation have been identified, but the relationship between different populations of ILVs and MVBs remains unclear. Here, we show in HeLa cells that different ILV subpopulations can be distinguished by size. EGF stimulation promotes the formation of large ESCRT‐dependent ILVs, whereas depletion of the ESCRT‐0 component, Hrs, promotes the formation of a uniformly sized population of small ILVs, the formation of which requires CD63. CD63 has previously been implicated in ESCRT‐independent sorting of PMEL in MVBs and transfected PMEL is present on the small ILVs that form on Hrs depletion. Upregulation of CD63‐dependent ILV formation by Hrs depletion indicates that Hrs and CD63 regulate competing machineries required for the generation of distinct ILV subpopulations. Taken together our results indicate that ILV size is influenced by their cargo and mechanism of formation and suggest a competitive relationship between ESCRT‐dependent and ‐independent mechanisms of ILV formation within single MVBs. 相似文献

Hepatocytes of estradiol-treated rats, which express many low density lipoprotein receptors, rapidly accumulate intravenously injected low density lipoprotein in multivesicular bodies (MVBs). We have isolated MVBs and Golgi apparatus fractions from livers of estradiol-treated rats. MVB fractions were composed mainly of large vesicles, approximately 0.55 micron diam, filled with remnantlike very low density lipoproteins, known to be taken up into hepatocytes by receptor- mediated endocytosis. MVBs also contained numerous small vesicles, 0.05- 0.07 micron in diameter, and had two types of appendages: one fingerlike and electron dense and the other saclike and electron lucent. MVBs contained little galactosyltransferase or arylsulfatase activity, and content lipoproteins were largely intact. Very low density lipoproteins from Golgi fractions, which are derived to a large extent from secretory vesicles, were larger than those of MVB fractions and contained newly synthesized triglycerides. Membranes of MVBs contained much more cholesterol and less protein than did Golgi membranes. We conclude that two distinct lipoprotein-filled organelles are located in the bile canalicular pole of hepatocytes. MVBs, a major prelysosomal organelle of low density in the endocytic pathway, contain remnants of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, whereas secretory vesicles of the Golgi apparatus contain nascent very low density lipoproteins. 相似文献

Protein storage vacuoles (PSVs) are the primarily storage organelles in cotyledon cells for protein preservation in seeds. Storage proteins are transported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus for subsequent delivery to PSVs via presumably Golgi-derived dense vesicles (DVs). However, recent studies demonstrated that storage proteins in early stage of developing cotyledon of mung beans reached the multivesicular bodies (MVBs) prior to the detection of DVs, indicating the possible involvement of MVBs in mediating transport of storage proteins during the early stage of seed development. Here, we further show that the MVBs in developing tobacco seeds are functionally and biochemically equivalent to those in developing mung beans. Thus, MVBs in developing tobacco seeds are structurally distinct from DVs, contain both vacuolar sorting receptors (VSRs) and storage proteins, and they are insensitive to treatments of wortmannin and brefeldin A (BFA). 相似文献

ESCRT complexes and the biogenesis of multivesicular bodies 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
Hurley JH 《Current opinion in cell biology》2008,20(1):4-11
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are crucial intermediates in the trafficking of ubiquitinated receptors and other cargo destined for lysosomes. The formation of MVBs by invagination of the endosomal limiting membrane is catalyzed by the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) complexes, a process that has recently been visualized in three-dimensional detail by electron tomography. Structural and biochemical analysis of the upstream components, Vps27-Hse1, ESCRT-I, and ESCRT-II, shows how these complexes assemble and cluster cargo. Rapid progress has been made in understanding the assembly and disassembly of the ESCRT-III complex and the interactions of its subunits with MIT domain and other proteins. A key role for deubiquitination in the regulation of the system has been demonstrated. One central question remains largely unanswered, which is how the ESCRTs actually promote the invagination of the endosomal membrane. 相似文献

Immature dendritic cells (DCs) sample their environment for antigens and after stimulation present peptide associated with major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) to naive T cells. We have studied the intracellular trafficking of MHC II in cultured DCs. In immature cells, the majority of MHC II was stored intracellularly at the internal vesicles of multivesicular bodies (MVBs). In contrast, DM, an accessory molecule required for peptide loading, was located predominantly at the limiting membrane of MVBs. After stimulation, the internal vesicles carrying MHC II were transferred to the limiting membrane of the MVB, bringing MHC II and DM to the same membrane domain. Concomitantly, the MVBs transformed into long tubular organelles that extended into the periphery of the cells. Vesicles that were formed at the tips of these tubules nonselectively incorporated MHC II and DM and presumably mediated transport to the plasma membrane. We propose that in maturing DCs, the reorganization of MVBs is fundamental for the timing of MHC II antigen loading and transport to the plasma membrane. 相似文献

The Kinetics of Mannose 6-Phosphate Receptor Trafficking in the Endocytic Pathway in HEp-2 Cells: The Receptor Enters and Rapidly Leaves Multivesicular Endosomes without Accumulating in a Prelysosomal Compartment 总被引:9,自引:6,他引:3

We have previously shown that in HEp-2 cells, multivesicular bodies (MVBs) processing internalized epidermal growth factor–epidermal growth factor receptor complexes mature and fuse directly with lysosomes in which the complexes are degraded. The MVBs do not fuse with a prelysosomal compartment enriched in mannose 6-phosphate receptor (M6PR) as has been described in other cell types. Here we show that the cation-independent M6PR does not become enriched in the endocytic pathway en route to the lysosome, but if a pulse of M6PR or an M6PR ligand, cathepsin D, is followed, a significant fraction of these proteins are routed from the trans-Golgi to MVBs. Accumulation of M6PR does not occur because when the ligand dissociates, the receptor rapidly leaves the MVB. At steady state, most M6PR are distributed within the trans-Golgi and trans-Golgi network and in vacuolar structures distributed in the peripheral cytoplasm. We suggest that these M6PR-rich vacuoles are on the return route from MVBs to the trans-Golgi network and that a separate stable M6PR-rich compartment equivalent to the late endosome/prelysosome stage does not exist on the endosome–lysosome pathway in these cells. 相似文献

After internalization from the plasma membrane, activated EGF receptors (EGFRs) are delivered to multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Within MVBs, EGFRs are removed from the perimeter membrane to internal vesicles, thereby being sorted from transferrin receptors, which recycle back to the plasma membrane. The phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3'-kinase inhibitor, wortmannin, inhibits internal vesicle formation within MVBs and causes EGFRs to remain in clusters on the perimeter membrane. Microinjection of isotype-specific inhibitory antibodies demonstrates that the PI 3'-kinase required for internal vesicle formation is hVPS34. In the presence of wortmannin, EGFRs continue to be delivered to lysosomes, showing that their removal from the recycling pathway and their delivery to lysosomes does not depend on inward vesiculation. We showed previously that tyrosine kinase-negative EGFRs fail to accumulate on internal vesicles of MVBs but are recycled rather than delivered to lysosomes. Therefore, we conclude that selection of EGFRs for inclusion on internal vesicles requires tyrosine kinase but not PI 3'-kinase activity, whereas vesicle formation requires PI 3'-kinase activity. Finally, in wortmannin-treated cells there is increased EGF-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation when EGFRs are retained on the perimeter membrane of MVBs. Therefore, we suggest that inward vesiculation is involved directly with attenuating signal transduction. 相似文献

The sorting of integral membrane proteins such as carboxypeptidase S (Cps1p) into the luminal vesicles of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires ubiquitination of their cytosolic domains by the ubiquitin ligases Rsp5p and/or Tul1p. An exception is Sna3p, which does not require ubiquitination for entry into MVBs. The mechanism underlying this ubiquitination-independent MVB sorting pathway has not yet been characterized. Here, we show that Sna3p sorting into the MVB pathway depends on a direct interaction between a PPAY motif within its C-terminal cytosolic tail and the WW domains of Rsp5p. Disruption of this interaction inhibits vacuolar targeting of Sna3p and causes its accumulation in a compartment that overlaps only partially with MVBs. Surprisingly, Sna3p does require a functional ubiquitin-ligase HECT domain within Rsp5p; however, the dependence of Sna3p on HECT domain activity is distinct from that of Cps1p. Last, we show that Sna3p requires neither Tul1p nor the transmembrane adaptor protein Bsd2p for its MVB sorting. Our data demonstrate that Sna3p follows a novel ubiquitination-independent, but Rsp5p-mediated, sorting pathway to the vacuole. 相似文献
