A positive signal prevents secretory membrane cargo from recycling between the Golgi and the ER.


ABSTRACT: The Golgi complex and ER are dynamically connected by anterograde and retrograde trafficking pathways. To what extent and by what mechanism outward-bound cargo proteins escape retrograde trafficking has been poorly investigated. Here, we analysed the behaviour of several membrane proteins at the ER/Golgi interface in live cells. When Golgi-to-plasma membrane transport was blocked, vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSVG), which bears an ER export signal, accumulated in the Golgi, whereas an export signal-deleted version of VSVG attained a steady state determined by the balance of retrograde and anterograde traffic. A similar behaviour was displayed by EGF receptor and by a model tail-anchored protein, whose retrograde traffic was slowed by addition of VSVG's export signal. Retrograde trafficking was energy- and Rab6-dependent, and Rab6 inhibition accelerated signal-deleted VSVG's transport to the cell surface. Our results extend the dynamic bi-directional relationship between the Golgi and ER to include surface-directed proteins, uncover an unanticipated role for export signals at the Golgi complex, and identify recycling as a novel factor that regulates cargo transport out of the early secretory pathway.
