In the article "Yeast Gga Coat Proteins Function with Clathrin in
Golgi to Endosome Transport," by C. Costaguta, C.J. Stefan, E.S.
Bensen, S.D. Emr, and G.S. Payne (Mol. Biol. Cell [2001], 12, 1885-1896), we presented, in Figure 5, the results
of pulse-chase immunoprecipitations of Vps10p and Kex2p using a
gga1
gga2
vps28
strain (YCS201). The data showed that turnover of Vps10p was delayed in
this strain compared with vps28
cells, leading us to
conclude that deletion of the GGA genes in a class E
vps mutant impairs Vps10p transport to endosomes. We
have now repeated this experiment with two independently derived
gga1
gga2
vps28
strains and observed no delay in Vps10p turnover compared with
vps28
cells. Furthermore, a low-copy plasmid with
GGA2 did not restore rapid Vps10p turnover in the
original gga1
gga2
vps28
strain, indicating that the absence of Gga
proteins does not account for delayed Vps10p turnover in this strain.
Based on these results, we now believe that YCS201 contained an
additional defect that impaired Vps10p turnover. These results do not
alter our conclusion that Gga proteins play important roles in
cargo-selective clathrin-mediated traffic from the Golgi to endosomes
because this conclusion is supported by other data in the paper and by
results from other publications (Black and Pelham, J. Cell Biol.
151, 587-600, 2000, Katzmann et al., Cell
106, 145-155, 2001). Nevertheless, we apologize for any
inconvenience caused by this revision. Degradation of Vps10p in class E
mutants lacking the Gga proteins could be due to transport of Vps10p
from the trans-Golgi network to endosomes by an
alternative, indirect pathway, or to loss of compartmental distinctions
between the trans-Golgi network and endosomes. Further experiments are needed to distinguish between these possibilities.
