Barcelona, Spain; We have previously reported that actin filaments are involved in
protein transport from the Golgi complex to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Herein, we examined whether myosin motors or actin comets mediate this
transport. To address this issue we have used, on one hand, a
combination of specific inhibitors such as 2,3-butanedione monoxime
(BDM) and 1-[5-isoquinoline sulfonyl]-2-methyl piperazine (ML7),
which inhibit myosin and the phosphorylation of myosin II by the myosin
light chain kinase, respectively; and a mutant of the nonmuscle myosin
II regulatory light chain, which cannot be phosphorylated
(MRLC2AA). On the other hand, actin comet tails were
induced by the overexpression of phosphatidylinositol phosphate
5-kinase. Cells treated with BDM/ML7 or those that express the
MRLC2AA mutant revealed a significant reduction in the
brefeldin A (BFA)-induced fusion of Golgi enzymes with the endoplasmic
reticulum (ER). This delay was not caused by an alteration in the
formation of the BFA-induced tubules from the Golgi complex. In
addition, the Shiga toxin fragment B transport from the Golgi complex
to the ER was also altered. This impairment in the retrograde protein
transport was not due to depletion of intracellular calcium stores or
to the activation of Rho kinase. Neither the reassembly of the Golgi complex after BFA removal nor VSV-G transport from ER to the Golgi was
altered in cells treated with BDM/ML7 or expressing
MRLC2AA. Finally, transport carriers containing Shiga toxin
did not move into the cytosol at the tips of comet tails of
polymerizing actin. Collectively, the results indicate that 1) myosin
motors move to transport carriers from the Golgi complex to the ER
along actin filaments; 2) nonmuscle myosin II mediates in this process;
and 3) actin comets are not involved in retrograde transport.
