Sorting of transmembrane proteins and their ligands at various
compartments of the endocytic and secretory pathways is mediated by
selective incorporation into clathrin-coated intermediates. Previous
morphological and biochemical studies have shown that these
clathrin-coated intermediates consist of spherical vesicles with a
diameter of 60-100 nm. Herein, we report the use of fluorescent imaging of live cells to demonstrate the existence of a different type
of transport intermediate containing associated clathrin coats.
Clathrin and the adaptors GGA1 and adaptor protein-1, labeled with different spectral variants of the green fluorescent protein, are
shown to colocalize to the trans-Golgi network and to a
population of vesicles and tubules budding from it. These
intermediates are highly pleiomorphic and move toward the peripheral
cytoplasm for distances of up to 10 µm with average speeds of ~1
µm/s. The labeled clathrin and GGA1 cycle on and off membranes with
half-times of 10-20 s, independently of vesicle budding. Our
observations indicate the existence of a novel type of
trans-Golgi network-derived carriers containing
associated clathrin, GGA1 and adaptor protein-1 that are larger than
conventional clathrin-coated vesicles, and that undergo long-range
translocation in the cytoplasm before losing their coats.
