the p24 complex contributes to specify arf1 for COPI coat selection
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021Co-Authors: Susana Sabidobozo, Ana Maria Perezlinero, Javier Manzanolopez, Sofia Rodriguezgallardo, Auxiliadora AguileraromeroAbstract:Golgi trafficking depends on the small GTPase Arf1 which, upon activation, drives the assembly of different coats onto budding vesicles. Two related types of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) activate Arf1 at different Golgi sites. In yeast, Gea1 in the cis-Golgi and Gea2 in the medial-Golgi activate Arf1 to form COPI-coated vesicles for retrograde cargo sorting, whereas Sec7 generates clathrin/adaptor-coated vesicles at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) for forward cargo transport. A central question is how the same activated Arf1 protein manages to assemble different coats depending on the donor Golgi compartment. A previous study has postulated that the interaction between Gea1 and COPI would channel Arf1 activation for COPI vesicle budding. Here, we found that the p24 complex, a major COPI vesicle cargo, promotes the binding of Gea1 with COPI by increasing the COPI association to the membrane independently of Arf1 activation. Furthermore, the p24 complex also facilitates the interaction of Arf1 with its COPI effector. Therefore, our study supports a mechanism by which the p24 complex contributes to program Arf1 activation by Gea1 for selective COPI coat assembly at the cis-Golgi compartment.

Distinct Functions for Arf Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors at the Golgi Complex: GBF1 and BIGs Are Required for Assembly and Maintenance of the Golgi Stack and trans-Golgi Network, Respectively
Molecular biology of the cell, 2007Co-Authors: Florin Manolea, Alejandro Claude, Justin Chun, Javier Rosas, Paul MelançonAbstract:We examined the relative function of the two classes of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for ADP-ribosylation factors that regulate recruitment of coat proteins on the Golgi complex. Complementary overexpression and RNA-based knockdown approaches established that GBF1 regulates COPI recruitment on cis-Golgi compartments, whereas BIGs appear specialized for adaptor proteins on the trans-Golgi. Knockdown of GBF1 and/or COPI did not prevent export of VSVGtsO45 from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), but caused its accumulation into peripheral vesiculotubular clusters. In contrast, knockdown of BIG1 and BIG2 caused loss of clathrin adaptor proteins and redistribution of several TGN markers, but had no impact on COPI and several Golgi markers. Surprisingly, brefeldin A–inhibited guanine nucleotide exchange factors (BIGs) knockdown prevented neither traffic of VSVGtsO45 to the plasma membrane nor assembly of a polarized Golgi stack. Our observations indicate that COPII is the only coat required for sorting and export from the ER exit sites, whereas GBF1 but not BIGs, is required for COPI recruitment, Golgi subcompartmentalization, and cargo progression to the cell surface.

gbf1 a cis golgi and vtcs localized arf gef is implicated in er to golgi protein traffic
Journal of Cell Science, 2006Co-Authors: Xinhua Zhao, Alejandro Claude, Justin Chun, David J Shields, John F Presley, Paul MelançonAbstract:The formation and maturation of membrane carriers that transport cargo from the ER to the Golgi complex involves the sequential action of the coat protein complexes COPII and COPI. Recruitment of COPI to nascent carriers requires activation of ADP-ribosylation factors by a BrefeldinA-sensitive guanine nucleotide exchange factor. Using new antisera and a GFP-tagged protein, we demonstrate that the exchange factor GBF1 localized to both Golgi membranes and peripheral puncta, near but separate from ER exit sites. Live cell imaging revealed that GFP-GBF1 associates dynamically with both membranes through rapid exchange with a large cytosolic pool. Treatment with BrefeldinA dramatically altered this rapid exchange, causing accumulation of GBF1 on both Golgi and peripheral puncta before eventual redistribution to the ER in a microtubule-dependent manner. Measurement of diffusion coefficients and subcellular fractionation confirmed this shift in GBF1 from cytosolic to membrane bound. BrefeldinA-induced accumulation of GBF1 coincided with loss of COPI from peripheral puncta. Furthermore, recruitment of GBF1 to cargo-containing peripheral puncta coincided with recruitment of COPI, but not COPII. Strikingly, microinjection of anti-GBF1 antibodies specifically caused dissociation of COPI from membranes. These observations strongly suggest that GBF1 regulates COPI membrane recruitment in the early secretory pathway.

assembly of COPI and COPIi vesicular coat proteins on membranes
Annual Review of Biophysics, 2018Co-Authors: Julien Bethune, Felix T. WielandAbstract:In eukaryotes, distinct transport vesicles functionally connect various intracellular compartments. These carriers mediate transport of membranes for the biogenesis and maintenance of organelles, secretion of cargo proteins and peptides, and uptake of cargo into the cell. Transport vesicles have distinct protein coats that assemble on a donor membrane where they can select cargo and curve the membrane to form a bud. A multitude of structural elements of coat proteins have been solved by X-ray crystallography. More recently, the architectures of the COPI and COPII coats were elucidated in context with their membrane by cryo-electron tomography. Here, we describe insights gained from the structures of these two coat lattices and discuss the resulting functional implications.

9Å structure of the COPI coat reveals that the Arf1 GTPase occupies two contrasting molecular environments.
eLife, 2017Co-Authors: S.o. Dodonova, P. Aderhold, J. Kopp, Iva Ganeva, Simone Röhling, Wim J. H. Hagen, Irmgard Sinning, Felix T. Wieland, John A. G. BriggsAbstract:COPI coated vesicles mediate trafficking within the Golgi apparatus and between the Golgi and the endoplasmic reticulum. Assembly of a COPI coated vesicle is initiated by the small GTPase Arf1 that recruits the coatomer complex to the membrane, triggering polymerization and budding. The vesicle uncoats before fusion with a target membrane. Coat components are structurally conserved between COPI and clathrin/adaptor proteins. Using cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram averaging, we determined the structure of the COPI coat assembled on membranes in vitro at 9 A resolution. We also obtained a 2.57 A resolution crystal structure of βδ-COP. By combining these structures we built a molecular model of the coat. We additionally determined the coat structure in the presence of ArfGAP proteins that regulate coat dissociation. We found that Arf1 occupies contrasting molecular environments within the coat, leading us to hypothesize that some Arf1 molecules may regulate vesicle assembly while others regulate coat disassembly.

evidence for segregation of sphingomyelin and cholesterol during formation of COPI coated vesicles
Journal of Cell Biology, 2000Co-Authors: Britta Brugger, Jo Rg Malsam, Walter Nickel, Roger Sandhoff, Sabine Wegehingel, Karin Gorgas, Bernd J Helms, Wolfdieter Lehmann, Felix T. WielandAbstract:In higher eukaryotes, phospholipid and cholesterol synthesis occurs mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas sphingomyelin and higher glycosphingolipids are synthesized in the Golgi apparatus. Lipids like cholesterol and sphingomyelin are gradually enriched along the secretory pathway, with their highest concentration at the plasma membrane. How a cell succeeds in maintaining organelle-specific lipid compositions, despite a steady flow of incoming and outgoing transport carriers along the secretory pathway, is not yet clear. Transport and sorting along the secretory pathway of both proteins and most lipids are thought to be mediated by vesicular transport, with coat protein I (COPI) vesicles operating in the early secretory pathway. Although the protein constituents of these transport intermediates are characterized in great detail, much less is known about their lipid content. Using nano-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry for quantitative lipid analysis of COPI-coated vesicles and their parental Golgi membranes, we find only low amounts of sphingomyelin and cholesterol in COPI-coated vesicles compared with their donor Golgi membranes, providing evidence for a significant segregation from COPI vesicles of these lipids. In addition, our data indicate a sorting of individual sphingomyelin molecular species. The possible molecular mechanisms underlying this segregation, as well as implications on COPI function, are discussed.

a role for adp ribosylation factor in the control of cargo uptake during COPI coated vesicle biogenesis
FEBS Letters, 1999Co-Authors: Jo Rg Malsam, Felix T. Wieland, Daniel U Gommel, Walter NickelAbstract:ARF-mediated hydrolysis of GTP has been demonstrated to regulate coat disassembly of Golgi-derived COPI transport vesicles (Tanigawa, G., Orci, L., Amherdt, M., Ravazzola, M., Helms, J.B. and Rothman, J.E. (1993) J. Cell Biol. 123, 1365–1371). In addition, a requirement for GTP hydrolysis at an early stage of COPI vesicle biogenesis has been established since cargo uptake is impaired in the presence of GTPγS (Nickel, W., Malsam, J., Gorgas, K., Ravazzola, M., Jenne, N., Helms, J.B. and Wieland, F.T. (1998) J. Cell Sci. 111, 3081–3090), a non-hydrolyzable analogue of GTP. We now demonstrate that the GTPase involved in the regulation of cargo uptake is ARF, revealing a multi-functional role of this GTPase in COPI-mediated vesicular transport. The molecular mechanism of cargo uptake as well as the functional implications of these findings on the overall process of COPI vesicle biogenesis are discussed.

rgs4 and rgs2 bind coatomer and inhibit COPI association with golgi membranes and intracellular transport
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2000Co-Authors: Brandon M Sullivan, Kimberly J Harrisonlavoie, John H Kehrl, Vladimir Marshansky, Dennis A. Ausiello, Dennis Brown, Kirk M DrueyAbstract:COPI, a protein complex consisting of coatomer and the small GTPase ARF1, is an integral component of some intracellular transport carriers. The association of COPI with secretory membranes has been implicated in the maintenance of Golgi integrity and the normal functioning of intracellular transport in eukaryotes. The regulator of G protein signaling, RGS4, interacted with the COPI subunit β′-COP in a yeast two-hybrid screen. Both recombinant RGS4 and RGS2 bound purified recombinant β′-COP in vitro. Endogenous cytosolic RGS4 from NG108 cells and RGS2 from HEK293T cells cofractionated with the COPI complex by gel filtration. Binding of β′-COP to RGS4 occurred through two dilysine motifs in RGS4, similar to those contained in some aminoglycoside antibiotics that are known to bind coatomer. RGS4 inhibited COPI binding to Golgi membranes independently of its GTPase-accelerating activity on Giα. In RGS4-transfected LLC-PK1 cells, the amount of COPI in the Golgi region was considerably reduced compared with that in wild-type cells, but there was no detectable difference in the amount of either Golgi-associated ARF1 or the integral Golgi membrane protein giantin, indicating that Golgi integrity was preserved. In addition, RGS4 expression inhibited trafficking of aquaporin 1 to the plasma membrane in LLC-PK1 cells and impaired secretion of placental alkaline phosphatase from HEK293T cells. The inhibitory effect of RGS4 in these assays was independent of GTPase-accelerating activity but correlated with its ability to bind COPI. Thus, these data support the hypothesis that these RGS proteins sequester coatomer in the cytoplasm and inhibit its recruitment onto Golgi membranes, which may in turn modulate Golgi–plasma membrane or intra-Golgi transport.

RGS4 and RGS2 Bind Coatomer and Inhibit COPI Association with Golgi Membranes and Intracellular Transport
