Arl1p regulates spatial membrane organization at the trans-Golgi network through interaction with Arf-GEF Gea2p and flippase Drs2p.

ABSTRACT: ADP ribosylation factors (Arfs) are the central regulators of vesicle trafficking from the Golgi complex. Activated Arfs facilitate vesicle formation through stimulating coat assembly, activating lipid-modifying enzymes and recruiting tethers and other effectors. Lipid translocases (flippases) have been implicated in vesicle formation through the generation of membrane curvature. Although there is no evidence that Arfs directly regulate flippase activity, an Arf-guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) Gea2p has been shown to bind to and stimulate the activity of the flippase Drs2p. Here, we provide evidence for the interaction and activation of Drs2p by Arf-like protein Arl1p in yeast. We observed that Arl1p, Drs2p and Gea2p form a complex through direct interaction with each other, and each interaction is necessary for the stability of the complex and is indispensable for flippase activity. Furthermore, we show that this Arl1p-Drs2p-Gea2p complex is specifically required for recruiting golgin Imh1p to the Golgi. Our results demonstrate that activated Arl1p can promote the spatial modulation of membrane organization at the trans-Golgi network through interacting with the effectors Gea2p and Drs2p.

The Sec7 Arf-GEF is recruited to the trans-Golgi network by positive feedback.

Project description:Arf GTPases are key regulators of both retrograde and anterograde traffic at the Golgi complex. The Golgi-localized Arf activators, Arf-GEFs (guanine exchange factor) of the BIG/GBF family, are poorly understood in terms of both their regulatory and localization mechanisms. We have performed a detailed kinetic characterization of a functional Golgi Arf-GEF, the trans-Golgi network (TGN)-localized Sec7 protein from yeast. We demonstrate that Sec7 is regulated by both autoinhibition and positive feedback. We show that positive feedback arises through the stable recruitment of Sec7 to membranes via its HDS1 domain by interaction with its product, activated Arf1. This interaction mediates localization of Sec7 to the TGN, because deletion of the HDS1 domain or mutation of the HDS1 domain in combination with deletion of Arf1 significantly increases cytoplasmic localization of Sec7. Our results lead us to propose a model in which Arf-GEF recruitment is linked to Golgi maturation via Arf1 activation.

Structural Insights into Arl1-Mediated Targeting of the Arf-GEF BIG1 to the trans-Golgi.

Project description:The GTPase Arf1 is the major regulator of vesicle traffic at both the cis- and trans-Golgi. Arf1 is activated at the cis-Golgi by the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) GBF1 and at the trans-Golgi by the related GEF BIG1 or its paralog, BIG2. The trans-Golgi-specific targeting of BIG1 and BIG2 depends on the Arf-like GTPase Arl1. We find that Arl1 binds to the dimerization and cyclophilin binding (DCB) domain in BIG1 and report a crystal structure of human Arl1 bound to this domain. Residues in the DCB domain that bind Arl1 are required for BIG1 to locate to the Golgi in vivo. DCB domain-binding residues in Arl1 have a distinct conformation from those in known Arl1-effector complexes, and this plasticity allows Arl1 to interact with different effectors of unrelated structure. The findings provide structural insight into how Arf1 GEFs, and hence active Arf1, achieve their correct subcellular distribution.

Four GTPases differentially regulate the Sec7 Arf-GEF to direct traffic at the trans-golgi network.

Project description:Traffic through the Golgi complex is controlled by small GTPases of the Arf and Rab families. Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) proteins activate these GTPases to control Golgi function, yet the full assortment of signals regulating these GEFs is unknown. The Golgi Arf-GEF Sec7 and the homologous BIG1/2 proteins are effectors of the Arf1 and Arl1 GTPases. We demonstrate that Sec7 is also an effector of two Rab GTPases, Ypt1 (Rab1) and Ypt31/32 (Rab11), signifying unprecedented signaling crosstalk between GTPase pathways. The molecular basis for the role of Ypt31/32 and Rab11 in vesicle formation has remained elusive. We find that Arf1, Arl1, and Ypt1 primarily affect the membrane localization of Sec7, whereas Ypt31/32 exerts a dramatic stimulatory effect on the nucleotide exchange activity of Sec7. The convergence of multiple signaling pathways on a master regulator reveals a mechanism for balancing incoming and outgoing traffic at the Golgi.

Autoinhibition and activation mechanisms of the eukaryotic lipid flippase Drs2p-Cdc50p.

Project description:The heterodimeric eukaryotic Drs2p-Cdc50p complex is a lipid flippase that maintains cell membrane asymmetry. The enzyme complex exists in an autoinhibited form in the absence of an activator and is specifically activated by phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P), although the underlying mechanisms have been unclear. Here we report the cryo-EM structures of intact Drs2p-Cdc50p isolated from S. cerevisiae in apo form and in the PI4P-activated form at 2.8 Å and 3.3 Å resolution, respectively. The structures reveal that the Drs2p C-terminus lines a long groove in the cytosolic regulatory region to inhibit the flippase activity. PIP4 binding in a cytosol-proximal membrane region triggers a 90° rotation of a cytosolic helix switch that is located just upstream of the inhibitory C-terminal peptide. The rotation of the helix switch dislodges the C-terminus from the regulatory region, activating the flippase.

Coat-tether interaction in Golgi organization.

Project description:Biogenesis of the Golgi apparatus is likely mediated by the COPI vesicle coat complex, but the mechanism is poorly understood. Modeling of the COPI subunit betaCOP based on the clathrin adaptor AP2 suggested that the betaCOP C terminus forms an appendage domain with a conserved FW binding pocket motif. On gene replacement after knockdown, versions of betaCOP with a mutated FW motif or flanking basic residues yielded a defect in Golgi organization reminiscent of that occurring in the absence of the vesicle tether p115. Indeed, betaCOP bound p115, and this depended on the betaCOP FW motif. Furthermore, the interaction depended on E(19)E(21) in the p115 head domain and inverse charge substitution blocked Golgi biogenesis in intact cells. Finally, Golgi assembly in permeabilized cells was significantly reduced by inhibitors containing intact, but not mutated, betaCOP FW or p115 EE motifs. Thus, Golgi organization depends on mutually interacting domains in betaCOP and p115, suggesting that vesicle tethering at the Golgi involves p115 binding to the COPI coat.

Multiple interactions between an Arf/GEF complex and charged lipids determine activation kinetics on the membrane.

Project description:Lipidated small GTPases and their regulators need to bind to membranes to propagate actions in the cell, but an integrated understanding of how the lipid bilayer exerts its effect has remained elusive. Here we focused on ADP ribosylation factor (Arf) GTPases, which orchestrate a variety of regulatory functions in lipid and membrane trafficking, and their activation by the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) Brag2, which controls integrin endocytosis and cell adhesion and is impaired in cancer and developmental diseases. Biochemical and structural data are available that showed the exceptional efficiency of Arf activation by Brag2 on membranes. We determined the high-resolution crystal structure of unbound Brag2 containing the GEF (Sec7) and membrane-binding (pleckstrin homology) domains, revealing that it has a constitutively active conformation. We used this structure to analyze the interaction of uncomplexed Brag2 and of the myristoylated Arf1/Brag2 complex with a phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2) -containing lipid bilayer, using coarse-grained molecular dynamics. These simulations revealed that the system forms a close-packed, oriented interaction with the membrane, in which multiple PIP2 lipids bind the canonical lipid-binding site and unique peripheral sites of the PH domain, the Arf GTPase and, unexpectedly, the Sec7 domain. We cross-validated these predictions by reconstituting the binding and kinetics of Arf and Brag2 in artificial membranes. Our coarse-grained structural model thus suggests that the high efficiency of Brag2 requires interaction with multiple lipids and a well-defined orientation on the membrane, resulting in a local PIP2 enrichment, which has the potential to signal toward the Arf pathway.

Membrane driven spatial organization of GPCRs.

Project description:Spatial organization of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) into dimers and higher order oligomers has been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. The pharmacological readout was shown to depend on the specific interfaces, but why particular regions of the GPCR structure are involved, and how ligand-determined states change them remains unknown. Here we show why protein-membrane hydrophobic matching is attained upon oligomerization at specific interfaces from an analysis of coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of the spontaneous diffusion-interaction of the prototypical beta2-adrenergic (?2AR) receptors in a POPC lipid bilayer. The energy penalty from mismatch is significantly reduced in the spontaneously emerging oligomeric arrays, making the spatial organization of the GPCRs dependent on the pattern of mismatch in the monomer. This mismatch pattern is very different for ?2AR compared to the highly homologous and structurally similar ?1AR, consonant with experimentally observed oligomerization patterns of ?2AR and ?1AR. The results provide a mechanistic understanding of the structural context of oligomerization.

The Arf GEF GBF1 and Arf4 synergize with the sensory receptor cargo, rhodopsin, to regulate ciliary membrane trafficking.

Project description:The small GTPase Arf4 and the Arf GTPase-activating protein (GAP) ASAP1 cooperatively sequester sensory receptor cargo into transport carriers targeted to primary cilia, but the input that drives Arf4 activation in this process remains unknown. Here, we show, by using frog retinas and recombinant human proteins, that during the carrier biogenesis from the photoreceptor Golgi/trans-Golgi network (TGN) a functional complex is formed between Arf4, the Arf guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) GBF1 and the light-sensing receptor, rhodopsin. Rhodopsin and Arf4 bind the regulatory N-terminal dimerization and cyclophillin-binding (DCB)-homology upstream of Sec7 (HUS) domain of GBF1. The complex is sensitive to Golgicide A (GCA), a selective inhibitor of GBF1 that accordingly blocks rhodopsin delivery to the cilia, without disrupting the photoreceptor Golgi. The emergence of newly synthesized rhodopsin in the endomembrane system is essential for GBF1-Arf4 complex formation in vivo Notably, GBF1 interacts with the Arf GAP ASAP1 in a GCA-resistant manner. Our findings indicate that converging signals on GBF1 from the influx of cargo into the Golgi/TGN and the feedback from Arf4, combined with input from ASAP1, control Arf4 activation during sensory membrane trafficking to primary cilia.

Stimulation of immunity-linked genes by membrane disruption is linked to Golgi function and the ARF-1 GTPase

Project description:Immunity-linked genes (ILGs) are activated by pathogens but also may respond to imbalances in lipids. Why pathogen attack and metabolic changes both impact ILG activation is unclear. We find that ILGs are activated when membrane phosphatidylcholine ratios change in secretory organelles in C. elegans. RNAi targeting of the ADP-ribosylation factor ARF-1, which disrupts the Golgi, also activates ILG expression, suggesting that activation of this membrane stress response could occur outside the ER. Our data argue that ILG upregulation is a coordinated response to changes in trafficking resulting from intrinsic cues (changes in membrane lipids) or extrinsic stimulation (increased secretion during immune response). Indeed, a focused RNAi screen of ILGs uncovered defects in secretion of two GFP reporters as well as accumulation of a pathogen-responsive CUB-domain fusion protein. These results also suggests that genes shared between the classical pathogen responses and lipid stress may act to counteract stress on secretory function.

A novel Golgi membrane protein is a partner of the ARF exchange factors Gea1p and Gea2p.

Project description:The Sec7 domain guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the GTPase ARF are highly conserved regulators of membrane dynamics and protein trafficking. The interactions of large ARF GEFs with cellular membranes for localization and/or activation are likely to participate in regulated recruitment of ARF and effectors. However, these interactions remain largely unknown. Here we characterize Gmh1p, the first Golgi transmembrane-domain partner of any of the high-molecular-weight ARF-GEFs. Gmh1p is an evolutionarily conserved protein. We demonstrate molecular interaction between the yeast Gmh1p and the large ARF-GEFs Gea1p and Gea2p. This interaction involves a domain of Gea1p and Gea2p that is conserved in the eukaryotic orthologues of the Gea proteins. A single mutation in a conserved amino acid residue of this domain is sufficient to abrogate the interaction, whereas the overexpression of Gmh1p can compensate in vivo defects caused by mutations in this domain. We show that Gmh1p is an integral membrane protein that localizes to the early Golgi in yeast and in human HeLa cells and cycles through the ER. Hence, we propose that Gmh1p acts as a positive Golgi-membrane partner for Gea function. These results are of general interest given the evolutionary conservation of both ARF-GEFs and the Gmh proteins.
