The formation of coat protein complex I (COPI)–coated vesicles is regulated by the small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) adenosine diphosphate ribosylation factor 1 (Arf1), which in its GTP-bound form recruits coatomer to the Golgi membrane. Arf GTPase-activating protein (GAP) catalyzed GTP hydrolysis in Arf1 triggers uncoating and is required for uptake of cargo molecules into vesicles. Three mammalian ArfGAPs are involved in COPI vesicle trafficking; however, their individual functions remain obscure. ArfGAP1 binds to membranes depending on their curvature. In this study, we show that ArfGAP2 and ArfGAP3 do not bind directly to membranes but are recruited via interactions with coatomer. In the presence of coatomer, ArfGAP2 and ArfGAP3 activities are comparable with or even higher than ArfGAP1 activity. Although previously speculated, our results now demonstrate a function for coatomer in ArfGAP-catalyzed GTP hydrolysis by Arf1. We suggest that ArfGAP2 and ArfGAP3 are coat protein–dependent ArfGAPs, whereas ArfGAP1 has a more general function.  相似文献

Golgi-derived coat protein I (COPI) vesicles mediate transport in the early secretory pathway. The minimal machinery required for COPI vesicle formation from Golgi membranes in vitro consists of (i) the hetero-heptameric protein complex coatomer, (ii) the small guanosine triphosphatase ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (Arf1) and (iii) transmembrane proteins that function as coat receptors, such as p24 proteins. Various and opposing reports exist on a role of ArfGAP1 in COPI vesicle biogenesis. In this study, we show that, in contrast to data in the literature, ArfGAP1 is not required for COPI vesicle formation. To investigate roles of ArfGAP1 in vesicle formation, we titrated the enzyme into a defined reconstitution assay to form and purify COPI vesicles. We find that catalytic amounts of Arf1GAP1 significantly reduce the yield of purified COPI vesicles and that Arf1 rather than ArfGAP1 constitutes a stoichiometric component of the COPI coat. Combining the controversial reports with the results presented in this study, we suggest a novel role for ArfGAP1 in membrane trafficking.  相似文献

From yeast to mammals, two types of GTPase-activating proteins, ArfGAP1 and ArfGAP2/3, control guanosine triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis on the small G protein ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) 1 at the Golgi apparatus. Although functionally interchangeable, they display little similarity outside the catalytic GTPase-activating protein (GAP) domain, suggesting differential regulation. ArfGAP1 is controlled by membrane curvature through its amphipathic lipid packing sensor motifs, whereas Golgi targeting of ArfGAP2 depends on coatomer, the building block of the COPI coat. Using a reporter fusion approach and in vitro assays, we identified several functional elements in ArfGAP2/3. We show that the Golgi localization of ArfGAP3 depends on both a central basic stretch and a carboxy-amphipathic motif. The basic stretch interacts directly with coatomer, which we found essential for the catalytic activity of ArfGAP3 on Arf1-GTP, whereas the carboxy-amphipathic motif interacts directly with lipid membranes but has minor role in the regulation of ArfGAP3 activity. Our findings indicate that the two types of ArfGAP proteins that reside at the Golgi use a different combination of protein–protein and protein–lipid interactions to promote GTP hydrolysis in Arf1-GTP.  相似文献

The Golgi serves as a hub for intracellular membrane traffic in the eukaryotic cell. Transport within the early secretory pathway, that is within the Golgi and from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum, is mediated by COPI-coated vesicles. The COPI coat shares structural features with the clathrin coat, but differs in the mechanisms of cargo sorting and vesicle formation. The small GTPase Arf1 initiates coating on activation and recruits en bloc the stable heptameric protein complex coatomer that resembles the inner and the outer shells of clathrin-coated vesicles. Different binding sites exist in coatomer for membrane machinery and for the sorting of various classes of cargo proteins. During the budding of a COPI vesicle, lipids are sorted to give a liquid-disordered phase composition. For the release of a COPI-coated vesicle, coatomer and Arf cooperate to mediate membrane separation.  相似文献

ArfGAP1 (Arf GTPase activating protein 1) controls the cycling of the COPI coat on Golgi membranes by catalyzing GTP hydrolysis in the small G protein Arf1. ArfGAP1 contains a central motif named ALPS (ArfGAP1 lipid-packing sensor) that adsorbs preferentially onto highly curved membranes. This motif allows coupling of the rate of GTP hydrolysis in Arf1 with membrane curvature induced by the COPI coat. Upon membrane adsorption, the ALPS motif folds into an amphipathic alpha-helix. This helix contrasts from a classical membrane-adsorbing helix in the abundance of S and T residues and the paucity of charged residues in its polar face. We show here that ArfGAP1 contains a second motif with similar physicochemical properties. This motif, ALPS2, also forms an amphipathic alpha-helix at the surface of small vesicles and contributes to the Golgi localization of ArfGAP1 in vivo. Using several quantitative assays, we determined the relative contribution of the two ALPS motifs in the recognition of liposomes of defined curvature and composition. Our results show that ALPS1 is the primary determinant of the interaction of ArfGAP1 with lipid membranes and that ALPS2 reinforces this interaction 40-fold. Furthermore, our results suggest that depending on the engagement of one or two functional ALPS motifs, ArfGAP1 can respond to a wide range of membrane curvature and can adapt to lipid membranes of various acyl chain compositions.  相似文献

COPI vesicles serve for transport of proteins and membrane lipids in the early secretory pathway. Their coat protein (coatomer) is a heptameric complex that is recruited to the Golgi by the small GTPase Arf1. Although recruited en bloc, coatomer can be viewed as a stable assembly of an adaptin‐like tetrameric subcomplex (CM4) and a trimeric ‘cage’ subcomplex (CM3). Following recruitment, coatomer stimulates ArfGAP‐dependent GTP hydrolysis on Arf1. Here, we employed recombinant coatomer subcomplexes to study the role of coatomer components in the regulation of ArfGAP2, an ArfGAP whose activity is strictly coatomer‐dependent. Within CM4, we define a novel hydrophobic pocket for ArfGAP2 interaction on the appendage domain of γ1‐COP. The CM4 subcomplex (but not CM3) is recruited to membranes through Arf1 and can subsequently recruit ArfGAP2. Neither CM3 nor CM4 in itself is effective in stimulating ArfGAP2 activity, but stimulation is regained when both subcomplexes are present. Our findings point to a distinct role of each of the two coatomer subcomplexes in the regulation of ArfGAP2‐dependent GTP hydrolysis on Arf1, where the CM4 subcomplex functions in GAP recruitment, while, similarly to the COPII system, the cage‐like CM3 subcomplex stimulates the catalytic reaction.  相似文献

Trafficking of secretory proteins between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus depends on coat protein complexes I (COPI) and II (COPII) machineries. To date, full characterization of the distribution and dynamics of these machineries in plant cells remains elusive. Furthermore, except for a presumed linkage between COPI and COPII for the maintenance of ER protein export, the mechanisms by which COPI influences COPII-mediated protein transport from the ER in plant cells are largely uncharacterized. Here we dissect the dynamics of COPI in intact cells using live-cell imaging and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching analyses to provide insights into the distribution of COPI and COPII machineries and the mechanisms by which COPI influences COPII-mediated protein export from the ER. We found that Arf1 and coatomer are dynamically associated with the Golgi apparatus and that the COPII coat proteins Sec24 and Sec23 localize at ER export sites that track with the Golgi apparatus in tobacco leaf epidermal cells. Arf1 is also localized at additional structures that originate from the Golgi apparatus but that lack coatomer, supporting the model that Arf1 also has a coatomer-independent role for post-Golgi protein transport in plants. When ER to Golgi protein transport is inhibited by mutations that hamper Arf1-GTPase activity without directly disrupting the COPII machinery for ER protein export, Golgi markers are localized in the ER and the punctate distribution of Sec24 and Sec23 at the ER export sites is lost. These findings suggest that Golgi membrane protein distribution is maintained by the balanced action of COPI and COPII systems, and that Arf1-coatomer is most likely indirectly required for forward trafficking out of the ER due to its role in recycling components that are essential for differentiation of the ER export domains formed by the Sar1-COPII system.  相似文献

The small GTPase Arf and coatomer (COPI) are required for the generation of retrograde transport vesicles. Arf activity is regulated by guanine exchange factors (ArfGEF) and GTPase-activating proteins (ArfGAPs). The ArfGAPs Gcs1 and Glo3 provide essential overlapping function for retrograde vesicular transport from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum. We have identified Glo3 as a component of COPI vesicles. Furthermore, we find that a mutant version of the Glo3 protein exerts a negative effect on retrograde transport, even in the presence of the ArfGAP Gcs1. Finally, we present evidence supporting a role for ArfGAP protein in the generation of COPI retrograde transport vesicles.  相似文献

Coat protein complex I (COPI)-coated vesicles, one of three major types of vesicular carriers in the cell, mediate the early secretory pathway and retrograde transport from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum. COPI vesicles are generated through activation of the regulatory GTPase Arf1 at the donor membrane and the subsequent recruitment of coatomer, a coat protein complex consisting of seven stably associated components. Coatomer functions in binding and sequestering cargo molecules and assembles into a polymeric protein shell that encompasses the surface of COPI vesicles. Little is known about the structural properties of this heptameric complex. We have isolated native yeast coatomer and examined its structure and subunit organization by single-particle electron microscopy. Our analyses provide the first three-dimensional picture of the complete coatomer and reveal substantial conformational flexibility likely to be critical for its scaffolding function.  相似文献

Budding of COPI-coated vesicles from Golgi membranes requires an Arf family G protein and the coatomer complex recruited from cytosol. Arf is also required with coatomer-related clathrin adaptor complexes to bud vesicles from the trans-Golgi network and endosomal compartments. To understand the structural basis for Arf-dependent recruitment of a vesicular coat to the membrane, we determined the structure of Arf1 bound to the γζ-COP subcomplex of coatomer. Structure-guided biochemical analysis reveals that a second Arf1-GTP molecule binds to βδ-COP at a site common to the γ- and β-COP subunits. The Arf1-binding sites on coatomer are spatially related to PtdIns4,5P(2)-binding sites on the endocytic AP2 complex, providing evidence that the orientation of membrane binding is general for this class of vesicular coat proteins. A bivalent GTP-dependent binding mode has implications for the dynamics of coatomer interaction with the Golgi and for the selection of cargo molecules.  相似文献

The present review summarizes recent observations on binding of Arf and COPI coat to isolated rat liver peroxisomes. The general structural and functional features of both Arf and coatomer were considered along with the requirements and dependencies of peroxisomal Arf and coatomer recruitment. Studies on the expression of mammalian Pex11 proteins, mainly Pex11alpha and Pex11beta, intimately related to the process of peroxisome proliferation, revealed a sequence of individual steps including organelle elongation/tubulation, formation of membrane and matrix protein patches segregating distinct proteins from each other, development of membrane constrictions and final membrane fission. Based on the similarities of the processes leading to cargo selection and concentration on Golgi membranes on the one hand and to the formation of peroxisomal protein patches on the other hand, an implication of Arf and COPI in distinct processes of peroxisomal proliferation is hypothesized. Alternatively, peroxisomal Arf/COPI might facilitate the formation of COPI-coated peroxisomal vesicles functioning in cargo transport and retrieval from peroxisomes to the ER. Recent observations suggesting transport of Pex3 and Pex19 during early steps of peroxisome biogenesis from the ER to peroxisomes inevitably propose such a retrieval mechanism, provided the ER to peroxisome pathway is based on transporting vesicles.  相似文献

ArfGAP1, which promotes GTP hydrolysis on the small G protein Arf1 on Golgi membranes, interacts preferentially with positively curved membranes through its amphipathic lipid packing sensor (ALPS) motifs. This should influence the distribution of Arf1‐GTP when flat and curved regions coexist on a continuous membrane, notably during COPI vesicle budding. To test this, we pulled tubes from giant vesicles using molecular motors or optical tweezers. Arf1‐GTP distributed on the giant vesicles and on the tubes, whereas ArfGAP1 bound exclusively to the tubes. Decreasing the tube radius revealed a threshold of R≈35 nm for the binding of ArfGAP1 ALPS motifs. Mixing catalytic amounts of ArfGAP1 with Arf1‐GTP induced a smooth Arf1 gradient along the tube. This reflects that Arf1 molecules leaving the tube on GTP hydrolysis are replaced by new Arf1‐GTP molecules diffusing from the giant vesicle. The characteristic length of the gradient is two orders of magnitude larger than a COPI bud, suggesting that Arf1‐GTP diffusion can readily compensate for the localized loss of Arf1 during budding and contribute to the stability of the coat until fission.  相似文献

A kinetic proof-reading mechanism for protein sorting   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Resident proteins of the exocytic pathway are maintained at various levels through coatomer protein I (COPI)-mediated recycling. Sorting of cargo by COPI requires GTP hydrolysis by ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF-1). This small GTPase recruits coatomer onto Golgi membranes and upon hydrolysis, is thought to release coatomer back into the cytosol. This step requires the activating protein, ARFGAP1. By coupling sorting to a cargo-induced sequestering of ARFGAP1, we have formulated a kinetic proof-reading model that explains how a GTP hydrolysis-driven coat release can yield an active sorting event. The sorting scheme predicts a dependency on the amount of ARFGAP1 and explains the recent experimental findings that ARF-1 and COPI detach with different time constants from the Golgi membrane in vivo .  相似文献

Arf (ADP‐ribosylation factor) family small G proteins are crucial regulators of intracellular transport. The active GTP‐bound form of Arf interacts with a set of proteins—effectors—which mediate the downstream signalling events of Arf activation. A well‐studied class of Arf1 effectors comprises the coat complexes, such as the cis‐Golgi‐localized COPI (coat protein complex I) coat, and trans‐Golgi network‐endosomal clathrin coats. At least five different coats require Arf1‐GTP to localize to organelle membranes. How a single Arf protein recruits different coat complexes to distinct membrane sites raises the question of how specificity is achieved. Here, we propose a molecular mechanism of this specificity for the COPI coat by showing a direct and specific interaction between a COPI subunit and a cis‐Golgi localized subfamily of Arf guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) that takes place independently of Arf1 activation. In this way, a specific output on Arf1 activation can be programmed before the exchange reaction by the GEF itself.  相似文献

Arf GAP2 is one of four Arf GAPs that function in the Golgi apparatus. We characterized the kinetics of Arf GAP2 and its regulation. Purified Arf GAP2 had little activity compared to purified Arf GAP1. Of the potential regulators we examined, coatomer had the greatest effect, stimulating activity one to two orders of magnitude. The effect was biphasic, with half-maximal activation observed at 50 nM coatomer and activation peaking at ≈ 150 nM coatomer. Activation by coatomer was greater for Arf GAP2 than has been reported for Arf GAP1. The effects of phosphoinositides and changes in vesicle curvature on GAP activity were small compared to coatomer; however, both increased coatomer-dependent activity. Peptides from p24 cargo proteins increased Arf GAP2 activity by an additional 2- to 4-fold. The effect of cargo peptide was dependent on coatomer. Overexpressing the cargo protein p25 decreased cellular Arf1?GTP levels. The differential sensitivity of Arf GAP1 and Arf GAP2 to coatomer could coordinate their activities. Based on the common regulatory features of Arf GAP1 and 2, we propose a mechanism for cargo selection in which GTP hydrolysis triggered by cargo binding to the coat protein is coupled to coat polymerization.  相似文献

In the formation of COPI vesicles, interactions take place between the coat protein coatomer and membrane proteins: either cargo proteins for retrieval to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or proteins that cycle between the ER and the Golgi. While the binding sites on coatomer for ER residents have been characterized, how cycling proteins bind to the COPI coat is still not clear. In order to understand at a molecular level the mechanism of uptake of such proteins, we have investigated the binding to coatomer of p24 proteins as examples of cycling proteins as well as that of ER-resident cargos. The p24 proteins required dimerization to interact with coatomer at two independent binding sites in gamma-COP. In contrast, ER-resident cargos bind to coatomer as monomers and to sites other than gamma-COP. The COPI coat therefore discriminates between p24 proteins and ER-resident proteins by differential binding involving distinct subunits.  相似文献

The Arf1-directed GTPase-activating protein ArfGAP1 is a Golgi-localized protein that controls the dynamics of the COPI coat of carriers that mediate transport in the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi shuttle. Previously the interaction of ArfGAP1 with the Golgi was allocated to a portion of the non-catalytic, carboxyl part of the protein, but the mechanism of this interaction has not been established. In this study we identify a short stretch in the non-catalytic part of ArfGAP1 (residues 204-214) in which several hydrophobic residues contribute to Golgi localization. Even single alanine replacement of two of these residues (Leu-207 and Trp-211) strongly diminished Golgi localization. Mutations in the hydrophobic residues also diminished the in vitro activity of ArfGAP1 on Arf1 bound to Golgi membranes. The stretch containing the hydrophobic residues was recently shown to mediate the binding of ArfGAP1 to loosely packed lipids of highly curved liposomes (Bigay, J., Casella, J. F., Drin, G., Mesmin, B., and Antonny, B. (2005) EMBO J. 24, 2244-2253). Whereas short fragments containing the hydrophobic stretch were not Golgi-localized, a proximal 10-residue in-frame insertion that is present in new ArfGAP1 isoforms that we identified in brain and heart tissues could confer Golgi localization on these fragments. This localization was abrogated by alanine replacement of residues Phe-240 or Trp-241 of the insertion sequence but not by their replacement with leucines. Our findings indicate that ArfGAP1 interacts with the Golgi through multiple hydrophobic motifs and that alternative modes of interaction may exist in tissue-specific ArfGAP1 isoforms.  相似文献

Examining how key components of coat protein I (COPI) transport participate in cargo sorting, we find that, instead of ADP ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1), its GTPase-activating protein (GAP) plays a direct role in promoting the binding of cargo proteins by coatomer (the core COPI complex). Activated ARF1 binds selectively to SNARE cargo proteins, with this binding likely to represent at least a mechanism by which activated ARF1 is stabilized on Golgi membrane to propagate its effector functions. We also find that the GAP catalytic activity plays a critical role in the formation of COPI vesicles from Golgi membrane, in contrast to the prevailing view that this activity antagonizes vesicle formation. Together, these findings indicate that GAP plays a central role in coupling cargo sorting and vesicle formation, with implications for simplifying models to describe how these two processes are coupled during COPI transport.  相似文献

The ArfGAP Glo3 is required for coat protein I vesicle generation in the Golgi–endoplasmic reticulum (ER) shuttle. The best-understood role of Glo3 is the stimulation of the GTPase activity of Arf1. In this study, we characterized functional domains of the ArfGAP Glo3 and identified an interaction interface for coatomer, SNAREs and cargo in the central region of Glo3 (BoCCS region). The GAP domain together with the BoCCS region is necessary and sufficient for all vital Glo3 functions. Expression of a truncated Glo3 lacking the GAP domain results in a dominant negative growth phenotype in glo3 Δ cells at 37°C. This phenotype was alleviated by mutating either the BoCCS region or the Glo3 regulatory motif (GRM), or by overexpression of ER–Golgi SNAREs or the ArfGAP Gcs1. The GRM is not essential for Glo3 function; it may act as an intrinsic sensor coupling GAP activity to SNARE binding to avoid dead-end complex formation at the Golgi membrane. Our data suggest that membrane-interaction modules and cargo-sensing regions have evolved independently in ArfGAP1s versus ArfGAP2/3s.  相似文献

We present evidence for two subpopulations of coatomer protein I vesicles, both containing high amounts of Golgi resident proteins but only minor amounts of anterograde cargo. Early Golgi proteins p24alpha2, beta1, delta1, and gamma3 are shown to be sorted together into vesicles that are distinct from those containing mannosidase II, a glycosidase of the medial Golgi stack, and GS28, a SNARE protein of the Golgi stack. Sorting into each vesicle population is Arf-1 and GTP hydrolysis dependent and is inhibited by aluminum and beryllium fluoride. Using synthetic peptides, we find that the cytoplasmic domain of p24beta1 can bind Arf GTPase-activating protein (GAP)1 and cause direct inhibition of ArfGAP1-mediated GTP hydrolysis on Arf-1 bound to liposomes and Golgi membranes. We propose a two-stage reaction to explain how GTP hydrolysis constitutes a prerequisite for sorting of resident proteins, yet becomes inhibited in their presence.  相似文献
