PRELIMINARY RESULTS ............................................................ 212 11 Acknowledgments I am deeply indebted to my advisor, Dr. Gary Thomas, whose support, advice and scientific mentoring was essential for the development of this project and my training as a research scientist. I am also indebted to Laurel Thomas, who has contributed greatly to these studies, and has kept the lab running smoothly. Together, Gary and Laurel run a tight ship, and this dissertation reflects their hard work and determination to produce high quality research. The Thomas Lab is a team environment and the work presented in this dissertation could not have been done without the help of others. I was especially lucky to work with Feng Gu and Hao Fei, who each contributed greatly to these studies. I am also indebted to the members of the Thomas Lab, past and present who have been great advisors, collaborators and friends. Several individuals worked hard to keep my graduate training successful and interesting. Many thanks to: Neal Alto, Joe Asian, Rachel Dresbek, Chien Hui Hung, Stefanie Kaech-Petrie, Tom O'Hare and Oleg Varlamov. Finally, I extend special thanks to my parents, who have supported me through all levels of education, and to Laura Baraff, who has kept me sane through graduate school. lll Abstract The cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR) follows a highly regulated sorting itinerary to deliver hydrolases from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to lysosomes. Cycling_ of CI-MPR between the TGN and early endosomes is mediated by GGA3, which directs TGN export, and PACS-1, which directs endosome-to TGN retrieval. Despite executing opposing sorting steps, GGA3 and PACS-1 both utilize a CK2-phosphorylated acidic cluster trafficking motif to bind the CI-MPR. But how CK2 coordinates these opposing roles is unknown. This thesis shows that an acidic cluster on PACS-1, which is highly
