Transport of mannose-6-phosphate receptors from the trans-Golgi network to endosomes requires Rab31.

ABSTRACT: Rab31, a protein that we originally cloned from a rat oligodendrocyte cDNA library, localizes in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes. However, its function has not yet been established. Here we show the involvement of Rab31 in the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) from TGN to endosomes. We demonstrate the specific sorting of cation-dependent-MPR (CD-MPR), but not CD63 and vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSVG) protein, to Rab31-containing trans-Golgi network carriers. CD-MPR and Rab31 containing carriers originate from extending TGN tubules that also contain clathrin and GGA1 coats. Expression of constitutively active Rab31 reduced the content of CD-MPR in the TGN relative to that of endosomes, while expression of dominant negative Rab31 triggered reciprocal changes in CD-MPR distribution. Expression of dominant negative Rab31 also inhibited the formation of carriers containing CD-MPR in the TGN, without affecting the exit of VSVG from this compartment. Importantly, siRNA-mediated depletion of endogenous Rab31 caused the collapse of the Golgi apparatus. Our observations demonstrate that Rab31 is required for transport of MPRs from TGN to endosomes and for the Golgi/TGN organization.

Project description:The anterograde pathway, from the endoplasmic reticulum through the trans-Golgi network to the cell surface, is utilized by trans-membrane and secretory proteins. The retrograde pathway, which directs traffic in the opposite direction, is used following endocytosis of exogenous molecules and recycling of membrane proteins. Microbes exploit both routes: viruses typically use the anterograde pathway for envelope formation prior to exiting the cell, whereas ricin and Shiga-like toxins and some nonenveloped viruses use the retrograde pathway for cell entry. Mining a human genome-wide RNA interference (RNAi) screen revealed a need for multiple retrograde pathway components for cell-to-cell spread of vaccinia virus. We confirmed and extended these results while discovering that retrograde trafficking was required for virus egress rather than entry. Retro-2, a specific retrograde trafficking inhibitor of protein toxins, potently prevented spread of vaccinia virus as well as monkeypox virus, a human pathogen. Electron and confocal microscopy studies revealed that Retro-2 prevented wrapping of virions with an additional double-membrane envelope that enables microtubular transport, exocytosis, and actin polymerization. The viral B5 and F13 protein components of this membrane, which are required for wrapping, normally colocalize in the trans-Golgi network. However, only B5 traffics through the secretory pathway, suggesting that F13 uses another route to the trans-Golgi network. The retrograde route was demonstrated by finding that F13 was largely confined to early endosomes and failed to colocalize with B5 in the presence of Retro-2. Thus, vaccinia virus makes novel use of the retrograde transport system for formation of the viral wrapping membrane.Efficient cell-to-cell spread of vaccinia virus and other orthopoxviruses depends on the wrapping of infectious particles with a double membrane that enables microtubular transport, exocytosis, and actin polymerization. Interference with wrapping or subsequent steps results in severe attenuation of the virus. Some previous studies had suggested that the wrapping membrane arises from the trans-Golgi network, whereas others suggested an origin from early endosomes. Some nonenveloped viruses use retrograde trafficking for entry into the cell. In contrast, we provided evidence that retrograde transport from early endosomes to the trans-Golgi network is required for the membrane-wrapping step in morphogenesis of vaccinia virus and egress from the cell. The potent in vitro inhibition of this step by the drug Retro-2 suggests that derivatives with enhanced pharmacological properties might serve as useful antipoxviral agents.
