The primary role of these proteins is to mediate fusion of vesicles with their target membrane-bound compartments (such as lysosomes). The most well studied SNARE proteins are those involved in mediating synaptic vesicle docking at the pre-synaptic membrane of neurons. During this process, syntaxin-1, SNAP-25 and munc18-1 associate and form a complex at the pre-synaptic membrane. This complex interacts with synaptobrevin-2 and synaptotagmin-1 located in synaptic vesicles and initiates docking, priming and fusion at the membrane. This fusion event leads to release of the vesicle's cargo into the synaptic cleft, where it can ultimately interact with the post-synaptic neuron. Antibodies to: Synaptophysin Synaptophysin is a 38 KDa synaptic vesicle (SV) glycoprotein containing four transmembrane domains. It is present in SVs of the neuroendocrine system, brain, spinal cord, retina, adrenal medulla and at neuromuscular junctions. Synaptophysin acts as a marker for neuroendocrine tumours and has been used to study the distribution of synapses within the brain due to its ubiquity at these regions. Although the exact function of synaptophysin is still unknown, several lines of evidence suggest it may have many important roles in SV exo and endocytosis. These include regulation of SNARE assembly, fusion pore formation initiating neurotransmitter release, and activation of SV endocytosis.

Box 21, 41470 Gebze, Kocaeli, Turkey Received 8 July 2003; received in revised form 22 March 2004; accepted 19 April 2004 Available online 8 May 2004 Abstract Ras-like small GTP binding proteins regulate a wide variety of intracellular signalling and vesicular trafficking pathways in eukaryotic cells including plant cells. They share a common structure that operates as a molecular switch by cycling between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound conformational states. The active GTP-bound state is regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF), which promote the exchange of GDP for GTP. The inactive GDP-bound state is promoted by GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) which accelerate GTP hydrolysis by orders of magnitude. Two types of small GTP-binding proteins, ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) and secretion-associated and Ras-related (Sar), are major regulators of vesicle biogenesis in intracellular traffic and are founding members of a growing family that also includes Arf-related proteins (Arp) and Arf-like (Arl) proteins. The most widely involved small GTPase in vesicular trafficking is probably Arf1, which not only controls assembly of COPI- and AP1, AP3, and AP4/clathrin-coated vesicles but also recruits other proteins to membranes, including some that may be components of further coats.

  • Caveolar Endocytosis of Simian Virus 40 Reveals a New Two-Step Vesicular- Transport Pathway to the ER
    articles Caveolar endocytosis of simian virus 40 reveals a new two-step vesicular- transport pathway to the ER Lucas Pelkmans*, Jürgen Kartenbeck† and Ari Helenius*‡ *Institute of Biochemistry, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Universitaetstrasse 16, CH-8092 Zürich, Switzerland †German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 280, D-69120 Heidelberg, Germany ‡e-mail: [email protected] Simian virus 40 (SV40) is unusual among animal viruses in that it enters cells through caveolae, and the internalized virus accumulates in a smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) compartment. Using video-enhanced, dual-colour, live fluorescence microscopy, we show the uptake of individual virus particles in CV-1 cells. After associating with cave- olae, SV40 leaves the plasma membrane in small, caveolin-1-containing vesicles. It then enters larger, peripheral organelles with a non-acidic pH. Although rich in caveolin-1, these organelles do not contain markers for endo- somes, lysosomes, ER or Golgi, nor do they acquire ligands of clathrin-coated vesicle endocytosis. After several hours in these organelles, SV40 is sorted into tubular, caveolin-free membrane vesicles that move rapidly along microtubules, and is deposited in perinuclear, syntaxin 17-positive, smooth ER organelles. The microtubule-disrupt- ing agent nocodazole inhibits formation and transport of these tubular carriers, and blocks viral infection. Our results demonstrate the existence of a two-step transport pathway from plasma-membrane caveolae, through an intermediate organelle (termed the caveosome), to the ER. This pathway bypasses endosomes and the Golgi com- plex, and is part of the productive infectious route used by SV40. any animal viruses take advantage of receptor-mediated mutants of caveolin-3 localize to intracellular vesicles that are dis- endocytosis to enter their host cells.

While studies in mammalian cells have characterized the temporal and morphological features of the endocytic pathway, studies in budding yeast have led the way in the analysis of the endosomal trafficking machinery components and their functions. Eukaryotic endomembrane systems were thought to be highly conserved from yeast to mammals, with the fusion of plasma membrane-derived vesicles to the early or recycling endosome being a common feature. Upon endosome maturation, cargos are then sorted for reuse or degraded via the endo-lysosomal (endo-vacuolar in yeast) pathway. However, recent studies have shown that budding yeast has a minimal endomembrane system that is fundamentally different from that of mammalian cells, with plasma membrane-derived vesicles fusing directly to a trans-Golgi compartment which acts as an early endosome. Thus, the Golgi, rather than the endosome, acts as the primary acceptor of endocytic vesicles, sorting cargo to pre-vacuolar endosomes for degradation. The field must now integrate these new findings into a broader understanding of the endomembrane system across eukaryotes.

To address these questions, native proteins were solubilized, immunoprecipitated from rat brain extracts, and analyzed by immunoblotting.
