The prevailing model of AP-1 the recruitment of AP-1 to chemically defined liposomes and targeting to the TGN ascribes a major role to the small GTPase that the process can be further stimulated by specifi c phosphoino- ADP ribosylation factor 1 (Arf-1) as the primary docking site sitides ( Crottet et al., 2002 ; Baust et al., 2006 ).

Additional components of the TGN, such as phospho ino- peptides corresponding to known dileucine- or tyrosine-based sitides and the cytosolic domains of sorting signal – bearing cargo sorting signals and determined their effects on the interaction proteins, are believed to function together with Arf-1 in providing of AP-1 with activated Arf-1.

Binding of the CI-MPR ETEWLM peptide to AP-1 stimulates its association with activated Arf-1. (A) Recruitment of CCV-derived AP-1 to soybean liposomes is greatly enhanced only in the presence of 250 μ M ETEWLM peptide (top, compare lanes 5 and 6) even though similar amounts of activated Arf-1 are found on the liposomes, as seen in the Ponceau stain of the blot (bottom, *). Lane 1 represents 5% of the CCV coat fraction input. (B) Recruitment of 25 nM AP-1 purifi ed from BAC to liposomes is stimulated by the ETEWLM peptide (lanes 5 vs. 7) in a GTP␥ S-dependent manner (lanes 3 vs. 5). The reactions contained 4 μ M of myristoylated Arf-1, 100 μ M GTP ␥ S, and the indicated concentrations of AP-1. Lane 1 represents 20% of the input from the reaction containing 25 nM AP-1. (C) Pulldown of AP-1 from BBC with both WT GST – Arf-1 and the Q71L mutant preloaded with 2mM GTP or 100 μ M GTP ␥ S is dependent on the presence of the ETEWLM peptide. No binding to AP-2 was detected under these conditions. (D and E) Binding of AP-1, purifi ed from BAC, to GST – Arf-1 is a function of the concentration of the ETEWLM peptide (D) and purifi ed adaptor (E). The AP-1 concentration was kept constant at 25 nM in D, whereas the peptide concentrations were kept constant at 250 μ M in E. The doublet observed on the blots in D and E, and in subsequent experiments where BAC served as the source of cytosolic AP-1, is the consequence of partial proteolysis of the appendage domain of the ␥ subunit of AP-1 in our adrenal cytosol preparations. The ␥ subunit of AP-1 in our bovine brain CCV coat preparations did not undergo such proteolysis, as shown in A.
