The mechanism of AP-1/clathrin coat formation was analyzed using purified adaptor proteins and synthetic liposomes presenting tyrosine sorting signals. AP-1 adaptors recruited in the presence of Arf1·GTP and sorting signals were found to oligomerize to high-molecular-weight complexes even in the absence of clathrin. The appendage domains of the AP-1 adaptins were not required for oligomerization. On GTP hydrolysis induced by the GTPase-activating protein ArfGAP1, the complexes were disassembled and AP-1 dissociated from the membrane. AP-1 stimulated ArfGAP1 activity, suggesting a role of AP-1 in the regulation of the Arf1 "GTPase timer." In the presence of cytosol, AP-1 could be recruited to liposomes without sorting signals, consistent with the existence of docking factors in the cytosol. Under these conditions, however, AP-1 remained monomeric, and recruitment in the presence of GTP was short-lived. Sorting signals allowed stable recruitment and oligomerization also in the presence of cytosol. These results suggest a mechanism whereby initial assembly of AP-1 with Arf1·GTP and ArfGAP1 on the membrane stimulates Arf1 GTPase activity, whereas interaction with cargo induces oligomerization and reduces the rate of GTP hydrolysis, thus contributing to efficient cargo sorting.

Intracellular transport between membrane compartments is initiated by the recruitment of cytosolic coat proteins, which perform several functions (Kirchhausen, 2000; Aridor and Traub, 2002). They select and concentrate cargo proteins, polymerize to form a lattice structure on the membrane surface, and deform the lipid bilayer to bud toward the cytosol. On completion of a coated vesicle, the coat components disassemble, allowing fusion with the target compartment. The three best characterized coats are coat protein (COP) I mediating intra-Golgi and Golgi-to-endoplasmic reticulum transport, COPII for vesicles derived from the endoplasmic reticulum, and clathrin with various associated adaptor proteins for pathways between the plasma membrane, endosomes, and the trans-Golgi network (Kirchhausen, 2000).

In all systems (apparently even for clathrin-dependent endocytosis; Paleotti et al., 2005), coat recruitment is initiated by a small GTPase that is activated at the membrane by a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). The minimal requirements to form coats have been defined in vitro using chemically defined liposomes and purified coat components. The generation of COPI vesicles required the heteroheptameric coatomer complex and ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (Arf1) and was enhanced by acidic phospholipids or by lipid-anchored sorting signals (Spang et al., 1998; Bremser et al., 1999). COPII consists of two dimers that can be sequentially assembled on liposomes containing phosphoinositides. Sec23/24 is first targeted by Sar1·GTP to the membrane as a primer to recruit the second layer of Sec13/31 (Matsuoka et al., 1998a, 1998b). Clathrin coats are similarly composed of two layers (Robinson and Bonifacino, 2001). Typically, heterotetrameric adaptor proteins (APs) connect cargo molecules in the membrane with the outer layer of clathrin triskelia. AP-3, Arf1·GTP, and clathrin were sufficient to produce coats and clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs; Drake et al., 2000). In contrast, AP-1 recruitment to liposomes and CCV formation required cytosolic factor(s) in addition to Arf1·GTP (Zhu et al., 1999). Alternatively, AP-1 recruitment could be reconstituted in the absence of cytosol on liposomes presenting covalently linked sorting signals (Crottet et al., 2002).

GTP hydrolysis causes uncoating of COPI and COPII coats (Tanigawa et al., 1993; Antonny et al., 2001). Sar1 and Arf1 have low intrinsic GTPase activity, and specific GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) act in a regulated manner to obtain an appropriately timed deactivation of these G proteins (Randazzo and Hirsch, 2004). The GAP for Sar1 is Sec23, i.e., a subunit of the first COPII layer. Recruitment of the second subcomplex, Sec13/31, further stimulates GAP activity, thus accelerating disassembly of the completed coat (Antonny et al., 2001).

Arf GAPs are a family of proteins containing a conserved catalytic domain, whereas other parts of the proteins are highly variable (Randazzo and Hirsch, 2004). Two types of Arf1 GAPs, ArfGAP1, and ArfGAP2/3 (Gcs1 and Glo3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were implicated in Golgi trafficking (Poon et al., 1999; Yang et al., 2002; Lewis et al., 2004; Watson et al., 2004). GTP hydrolysis in COPI coats is activated by ArfGAP1 (Cukierman et al., 1995) and was shown to contribute to cargo sorting, in addition to uncoating (Nickel et al., 1998; Lanoix et al., 1999; Malsam et al., 1999; Pepperkok et al., 2000). Coatomer was found to stimulate ArfGAP1-mediated GTP hydrolysis on Arf1 (Goldberg, 1999). This stimulation was inhibited by peptides derived from specific COPI cargo (hp24a/p24₁), suggesting a mechanism for increasing the probability for cargo to be incorporated into the growing coat polymer (Goldberg, 2000; Lanoix et al., 2001; Weiss and Nilsson, 2003).

Little is known about the role of GTP hydrolysis in clathrin coats with AP-1 or AP-3. In purified CCVs, almost no Arf1 could be detected, suggesting that GTP hydrolysis is not per se sufficient to induce disassembly of the complete coat (Zhu et al., 1998). Here we have studied the role of sorting signals and GTP hydrolysis in the recruitment of AP-1 adaptors to liposomes. Our findings show that cargo signals cause AP-1 to form high-molecular-weight complexes even in the absence of clathrin. These complexes are susceptible to GTP hydrolysis induced by ArfGAP1. AP-1 regulates the activity of ArfGAP1, indicating that controlled GTP hydrolysis may play a role in cargo selection and productive coat formation.

Protein Purification
CCVs were isolated from calf brains, the coats were released, and mixed APs were purified as described (Crottet et al., 2002). To isolate AP-1 adaptors, mixed APs were dialyzed into 20 mM ethanolamine, pH 8.9, 2 mM EDTA, 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT; MonoQ buffer), loaded on a MonoQ HR 5/5 (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ) and eluted by a 5-ml linear gradient of 0–150 mM NaCl followed by a 50-ml linear gradient of 150–450 mM NaCl in starting buffer (adapted from Ahle et al., 1988). AP-1 containing fractions free of ArfGAP1 (as judged by immunoblotting) were pooled and subjected to hydroxyapatite chromatography as described (Ahle and Ungewickell, 1986; Crottet et al., 2002). Myristoylated Arf1 was purified as described by Liang and Kornfeld (1997) and for GAP assays as described by Franco et al. (1995). His₆-tagged full-length ArfGAP1 and the catalytic domain (residues 1–136) were expressed in baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells and Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells, respectively (Huber et al., 2001). Coatomer was purified from rabbit liver as described by Pavel et al. (1998).

To produce AP-1 complexes lacking the appendage domains of - and 1-adaptins, AP-1 was purified by separating coat proteins released from CCVs by hydroxyapatite chromatography (Ahle and Ungewickell, 1986) followed by dialysis of AP-1-containing fractions into MonoQ buffer, and ion exchange chromatography on a MonoQ HR10/10 column eluted by a 10-ml gradient of 0–150 mM NaCl and a 100-ml gradient of 150–450 mM NaCl in MonoQ buffer. Purified AP-1 at 10 µg/ml in MonoQ buffer was digested with TPCK-treated trypsin (Sigma, Buchs, Switzerland) at an enzyme/substrate weight ratio of 1:1 for 30 min at room temperature to remove the ₁ and most appendages, but leaving µ1 intact (Schröder and Ungewickell, 1991). Stronger trypsin treatment led to partial digestion of µ1, resulting in reduced liposome recruitment (unpublished data). Reactions were stopped on ice with a fivefold excess of ovomucoid (trypsin inhibitor; Sigma). The extent of digestion was monitored by immunoblot analysis using mouse anti--adaptin (100/3 from E. Ungewickell, Hannover, Germany) directed against the hinge sequence to detect the undigested subunit, mouse anti-1/2-adaptin (100/1; Sigma) recognizing an epitope in the core, and a rabbit anti-µ1A antiserum raised against the synthetic peptide EAEDKEGKPPISV.

Liposome Recruitment Assay
Peptidoliposomes made of 97.5% soybean phospholipids (a mixture of phospholipids also containing phosphoinositides, sold as azolectin by Sigma; Zhu et al., 1999) and 2.5% N-((4-maleimidylmethyl)cyclohexane-1-carbonyl)-1,2-dipalmitoyl- or -dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (MMCC-DPPE [Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR] and MMCC-DOPE [Avanti Polar Lipids, Alabaster, AL]) were obtained after extrusion through 400-nm pore size polycarbonate filters and incubation with synthetic peptides CRKRSHAGYQTI (LY) or CRKRSHAGAQTI (LA; Crottet et al., 2002). Recruitment assays were performed essentially as described (Crottet et al., 2002). In brief, 100 µl of peptidoliposomes (0.5 µmol lipid) were incubated for 30 min at 37°C with 5 µg of Arf1, 0.2 mM GMP-PNP or 2 mM GTP, and 10 µg of mixed adaptors or 0.5 µg of pure AP-1. Samples were loaded at the bottom of a sucrose step gradient and centrifuged at 300,000 x g_av for 1 h at 4°C to float the liposomes. To test the effect of GTP hydrolysis, half the top fraction (500 µl) was incubated with 10 µg ArfGAP1 at 37°C for 30 min before a second floatation. Fractions were analyzed by trichloroacetic acid precipitation, SDS-PAGE, and immunoblotting using antibodies against -adaptin (100/3) or Arf1 (1D9 from Alexis, Lausen, Switzerland), a peroxidase-coupled secondary antibody (Sigma), and enhanced chemiluminescence.

Calf brain cytosol was prepared as before (Crottet et al., 2002) and centrifuged for 30 min at 170,000 x g immediately before use. Liposomes (0.5 µmol lipid) with or without coupled peptides were incubated for 30 min at 37°C with 1 mg of cytosol, 5 µg of Arf1 (or Arf1^Q71L, a gift by K. Fiedler), and 0.2 mM GMP-PNP or 2 mM GTP in a total volume of 175 µl and analyzed as above.

Velocity Sedimentation
Floated liposomes (340 µl) were mixed with 340 µl assay buffer, supplemented with Triton X-100 or octylglucoside (Sigma) to 0.5%, loaded onto 4.3 ml of a 10–25% sucrose gradient in assay buffer with 0.2% Triton or octylglucoside, and centrifuged at 100,000 x g_av for 5 h at 4°C. Where indicated, solubilization was performed at 37°C and centrifugation at room temperature. Ten 0.5-ml fractions were collected from the top and analyzed by immunoblotting. Rat IgM (a gift by A. Rolink, University of Basel) and ribosomes prepared from bovine adrenals (Brown et al., 1974) were used as standards. In a control experiment, 2.5% N-((6-(biotinoyl)amino)hexanoyl)-1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (biotin-DPPE; Molecular Probes) was in addition incorporated into the liposomes, and an AP-1 recruitment experiment was performed in the presence of 20 µg FITC-streptavidin (from Serotech, Basel, Switzerland) followed by floatation, solubilization, and velocity sedimentation as above. FITC-streptavidin was quantified by fluorimetry.

GTPase Assay
Assays were performed essentially as described (Huber et al., 2001). Arf1 (4 µM) was loaded with [-³²P]GTP (2.5 µM at 100 Ci/mmol; from NEN, Geneva, Switzerland) by incubation with peptidoliposomes (1 mg soybean phospholipids/ml) in 25 mM MOPS, pH 7.5, 100 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl₂, 2 mM EDTA for 15 min at 30°C, and loading was terminated by addition of 2 mM MgCl₂. Loading efficiency was typically 40–50% of initial [-³²P]GTP as determined by filtration through a 0.45-µm nitrocellulose filter. To diminish inorganic [³²P]phosphate background, the sample was centrifuged at 20,000 x g for 20 min at 4°C, and the liposome pellet was resuspended in 25 mM MOPS, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl₂, 40 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT. [-³²P]GTP-loaded Arf1, 40 nM, was preincubated for 5 min at 30°C in 25 µl of the same buffer with or without 0.25 µM coatomer or AP-1. Reactions were initiated by the addition of ArfGAP1 (0.1 µM catalytic domain or 0.5 nM full-length ArfGAP1) and terminated by addition of 20 µl of 0.5% SDS followed by 0.5 ml cold charcoal suspension (5% in 50 mM NaH₂PO₄). After centrifugation, the amount of inorganic [³²P]phosphate in the supernatant was determined by scintillation counting and corrected for initial background.

Immunofluorescence
The cDNAs of full-length ArfGAP1 and the catalytic domain ArfGAP1(1–136), both C-terminally fused to a myc-epitope and a His₆-tag in pcDNA3.1/myc-His (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Basel, Switzerland) were transfected into COS-1 cells grown on 14-mm glass coverslips using lipofectin (Life Technologies). The cells were fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature 2 d after transfection, washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), quenched with 50 mM NH₄Cl in PBS, and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 min. Nonspecific antibody binding was blocked with PBS containing 1% bovine serum albumin. The fixed cells were incubated at room temperature with anti--adaptin (100/3) and rabbit anti-myc antiserum (Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) for 1 h, washed with PBS with albumin, and stained with Alexa488-conjugated goat anti-mouse and Alexa568- conjugated goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin (Ig) antibodies (Molecular Probes) in PBS with albumin for 30 min. After several washes with PBS with albumin, PBS, and water, the coverslips were mounted in Mowiol 4–88 (Hoechst, Frankfurt, Germany). Staining patterns were analyzed using a Zeiss Axioplan 2 microscope (Oberkochen, Germany) with a KX Series Imaging System (Apogee Instruments, Tucson, AZ).

AP-1 Recruited to Peptidoliposomes Forms High-molecular-weight Complexes in the Absence of Clathrin
Previously, we have shown that in vitro-purified AP-1 can be recruited to liposomal membranes in the presence of activated Arf1, tyrosine-based signals, and specific lipids (Crottet et al., 2002). To analyze the stability of AP-1 recruitment and the oligomeric state of bound AP-1, peptides corresponding to the wild-type cytoplasmic sequence of Lamp1 (LY) or the tyrosine-to-alanine mutant (LA) were coupled by the lipid reagent MMCC-DPPE to liposomes made of a mixture of soybean lipids previously used for in vitro recruitment assays (e.g., Zhu et al., 1999; Crottet et al., 2002). The resulting peptidoliposomes were incubated at 37°C for 30 min with purified myristoylated Arf1, GTP, or GMP-PNP, and mixed adaptors (containing both AP-1 and AP-2) were isolated from calf brain CCVs. Samples were then supplemented with sucrose to 40% (wt/vol), overlayed with 20% sucrose, and centrifuged for 1 h at 300,000 x g. Four fractions were collected from the top and analyzed by SDS-gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting (Figure 1A). Fraction 1 contained the floated liposomes and any bound proteins, and fraction 4 the initial loading zone. Recruitment of AP-1 to the liposomes required the tyrosine motif and was similar with GTP or GMP-PNP. To assess the stability of AP-1 binding, the floated material of fraction 1 was collected, incubated at 37°C for another 30 min in the absence of nucleotides, and then loaded at the bottom of a new gradient, and centrifuged again as before (Figure 1A, bottom). AP-1 was quantitatively floated with the liposomes to the top of the sucrose cushion, indicating that AP-1 recruited to peptidoliposomes is stably associated with the membrane.

(A) Peptidoliposomes made of soybean lipids and presenting LA or LY peptides coupled to MMCC-DPPE were incubated with mixed adaptors, Arf1, and GTP or GMP-PNP. After floatation on a sucrose step gradient, four fractions (Fr. 1–4) were collected from the top and analyzed by immunoblotting for -adaptin. Floated liposomes of fraction 1 were further incubated for 30 min at 37°C and floated again as indicated by horizontal arrows. (B) Mixed adaptors were incubated with Arf1, GMP-PNP, and LY peptidoliposomes and centrifuged in a floatation gradient as above. The starting adaptors, the nonfloated fraction 4 and the floated fraction 1 were solubilized with Triton X-100 and centrifuged into a 10–25% sucrose velocity gradient for 5 h at 90,000 x g (horizontal arrow). Ten fractions were collected and analyzed by immunoblotting for -adaptin. The floated fraction of a recruitment experiment with purified AP-1 was analyzed in the same way (Pure floated). The positions of the sedimentation markers IgM (19S) and 40S ribosomes are indicated. Individual AP-1 adaptors (300 kDa) have a sedimentation coefficient of 7.7S (Nakagawa et al., 2000).

To rule out the possibility that AP-1 may be associated with detergent-insoluble membranes or large mixed micelles, a control experiment was performed by incorporating lipid-(DPPE)-coupled biotin into the peptidoliposomes for the simultaneous recruitment of Arf1/AP-1 and of fluorescently labeled streptavidin. After floatation, the liposome fraction was solubilized and centrifuged into a sucrose gradient as before. Whereas again a large fraction of recruited AP-1 sedimented into the gradient, lipid-anchored streptavidin was recovered almost entirely from the three top fractions (Figure 2A). Binding to saturated lipids thus could not explain sedimentation under the conditions used. We furthermore performed experiments using a lipid reagent with unsaturated oleoyl rather than saturated palmitoyl chains to couple the peptides, and octyl glucoside as a detergent that solubilizes ordered lipid domains more potently than Triton X-100. In addition, detergent was added at 37°C to enhance solubilization. Under all these conditions, a significant fraction of recruited AP-1 sedimented into the second half of the gradient or even the bottom fraction (Figure 2B), excluding insoluble lipid domains as the cause of AP-1 sedimentation.

(A) Liposomes were made of soybean lipids with LY peptides coupled to MMCC-DPPE and containing biotin-DPPE and mixed with adaptors, Arf1, GMP-PNP, and fluorescently labeled streptavidin. Starting adaptors and the liposome fraction recovered after a flotation gradient were solubilized with Triton X-100 at 4°C and centrifuged into a sucrose velocity gradient as in Figure 1B. Ten fractions were collected and analyzed by immunoblotting for -adaptin and by fluorimetry for streptavidin. (B) Soybean liposomes with LY peptides coupled to MMCC-DPPE (MDPPE) or MMCC-DOPE (MDOPE) were incubated with adaptors, Arf1, and GMP-PNP, floated to the top of a first sucrose gradient, solubilized at 37°C with 0.5% Triton X-100 (TX) or octyl glucoside (OG) and centrifuged at room temperature into a 10–25% sucrose velocity gradient containing 0.2% detergent as in Figure 1B. Fractions were analyzed by immunoblotting for -adaptin.

To test whether the C-terminal appendage (ear) domains of - or 1-adaptins are involved in forming the oligomers, purified AP-1 adaptors were subjected to limited proteolysis by trypsin. As shown in Figure 3A, the ear domains of the two adaptins were efficiently removed, whereas the µ1 subunit remained largely intact. Both the mock-treated and the trypsinized AP-1 preparations were strongly recruited to peptido-liposomes as shown by immunoblot analysis for µ1 and , and µ1 and the 1 core, respectively, after a floatation gradient (Figure 3B). This is consistent with the earlier observation that AP-1 appendages are dispensible for recruitment to Golgi membranes (Traub et al., 1995). On detergent solubilization of the floated liposome fractions, both the intact AP-1 complexes and (even more effectively) the shaved AP-1 core domains sedimented as high-molecular-weight complexes (Figure 3C). This result indicates that the appendage domains of 1 and adaptins are not required for oligomer formation.

(A) Purified AP-1 adaptors were subjected to limited proteolysis with trypsin or incubated without protease. The products were analyzed by immunoblot analysis using antibodies directed against the hinge segment of -adaptin (lanes 1 and 2), against the core domain of 1 adaptin (lanes 3 and 4), or against the µ1 subunit (lanes 5 and 6). The positions of marker proteins are indicated with their molecular weights in kDa. (B) Peptidoliposomes preincubated with Arf1 and GMP-PNP for 30 min at 37°C were mixed on ice with mock-treated or trypsinized AP-1 for 15 min before loading on a floatation gradient as in Figure 1A. Four fractions were collected and analyzed by immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies. (C) The floated fractions 1 of the floatation gradients were solubilized with Triton X-100 and centrifuged into a 10–25% sucrose velocity gradient as in Figure 1B. Fractions were analyzed by immunoblotting for -adaptin or the 1 core domain, as indicated. The absence of a 100-kDa band in lane 3 illustrates the absence of 2 and thus of AP-2 complexes.

LY peptidoliposomes were incubated with adaptors, Arf1, and GTP or GMP-PNP, and floated on a sucrose step gradient. (A) The floated fractions were incubated with ArfGAP1 and subjected to a second floatation. Four fractions were collected and analyzed for -adaptin and Arf1. (B) The floated fractions were incubated with or without ArfGAP1, solubilized with Triton X-100 and centrifuged into a velocity sucrose gradient as in Figure 1B. Ten fractions were collected and analyzed by immunoblotting for -adaptin. AP-1 recovered in fractions 5–10 of the gradients was determined in percent of the total and listed on the right.

To examine the functional interaction of ArfGAP1 with AP-1 in vivo, we tested the effect of overexpression of ArfGAP1 on AP-1 localization in transfected COS-1 cells. In confirmation of a previous report (Janvier et al., 2003), overexpression of full-length ArfGAP1 strongly reduced Golgi-localized AP-1 (Figure 5, A and B). In addition, AP-1 localization to peripheral structures representing endosomes was also reduced, which argues against an indirect effect of ArfGAP1 on Golgi organization via COPI (Aoe et al., 1997). Overexpression of the catalytic domain of ArfGAP1 (residues 1–136) did not reduce membrane association of AP-1, demonstrating that, as in the COPI system (Huber et al., 1998), the noncatalytic domain of ArfGAP1 is required for membrane targeting and in vivo activity. The effect of ArfGAP1 overexpression on AP-1 localization in vivo together with the previous finding that ArfGAP1 interacts with the appendage of AP-1 (Hirst et al., 2003) suggests a functional role for ArfGAP1 in the formation of AP-1/clathrin coats.

Transfected cells are indicated by asterisks in A and C. AP-1 localization in the perinuclear Golgi area and on endosomes in the cell periphery is strongly reduced in cells expressing full-size ArfGAP1, but not in cells expressing the catalytic domain only.

Arf1 was activated in the presence of [-32P]GTP on liposomes presenting LY (filled symbols) or LA peptides (empty symbols). After incubation with ArfGAP1 and/or effectors, free phosphate released by GTP hydrolysis was measured. The time course of GTP hydrolysis in the presence of 1 µM catalytic domain of ArfGAP1 (GAP136) alone (circles) or in the presence of 0.25 µM COPI coatomer (triangles) is shown in A, and with 0.25 µM purified AP-1 (squares) in B. No hydrolysis was induced by AP-1 without ArfGAP1 (diamonds). The concentration dependence of AP-1 stimulation of the catalytic domain and of full-length ArfGAP1 (FL-GAP; 0.5 nM) is shown in C and D, respectively.

Sorting Signals Are Necessary for Oligomerization of AP-1 in the Presence of Cytosol and Modulate GTP Hydrolysis
To study the role of sorting signals in coat formation, we analyzed the recruitment of AP-1 from cytosol to soybean liposomes. It has been observed that in the presence of cytosol, AP-1 can be bound to liposomes even in the absence of cargo signals (Zhu et al., 1999; Crottet et al., 2002). As shown in Figure 7A, binding of AP-1 recruited from cytosol in the presence of GMP-PNP to liposomes with or without LY peptides was equally stable, because AP-1 remained quantitatively associated with the liposomes during a second floatation (b). This is consistent with the proposal that AP-1 can be bound to a cytosol-derived "docking component(s)" (Zhu et al., 1999). However, solubilization of the membrane and velocity centrifugation (c) revealed that only AP-1 recruited to membranes presenting the functional sorting peptide assembled into oligomers.

After 3, 10, or 30 min at 37°C, the mixture was chilled on ice and floated on a step gradient. (D) AP-1 recruited from cytosol to liposomes with or without LY peptides in the presence of 10 mM GTP for 10 min and floated on a first gradient were incubated with (+GAP) or without ArfGAP1 (-GAP) and subjected to a second floatation. Five times less cytosol was used with LY peptidoliposomes to have the same amount of AP-1 and lipid in all samples. The indicated fractions were analyzed by immunoblotting for -adaptin.

TOP ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS RESULTS DISCUSSION ACKNOWLEDGMENTS REFERENCES

 
Clathrin coats consist of two layers. Adaptor complexes bind to membrane lipids and activated, membrane-associated G-proteins. In addition, specific docking proteins have been proposed to contribute to site specificity of AP-1 (Zhu et al., 1998, 1999) and AP-2 recruitment (Zhang et al., 1994; Haucke and De Camilli, 1999). Adaptors recognize sorting signals and thus select cargo to be incorporated into the forming vesicles. They recruit clathrin, which polymerizes to form a basket-like coat in a process that is generally believed to laterally collect the membrane-bound adaptors and to concentrate the associated cargo. Here we provide evidence that AP-1 recruited with Arf1·GTP to liposomes presenting cargo signals assembles into high-molecular-weight complexes even in the absence of clathrin. This oligomerization occurs via the adaptor core, because it is independent of the C-terminal appendage domains of 1- and -adaptins, including the hinge segments which contain the clathrin-binding sites.

The AP-1 oligomers we have observed might correspond to the AP-1 structures detected in cells where clathrin had been sequestered away by overexpression of auxilin or AP180 (Zhao et al., 2001). Rather than collecting individual adaptors into a coat, clathrin may use oligomers of AP-1 as platforms for its own recruitment and polymerization. Adaptor self-oligomerization may also be the basis for the formation of AP-3 coats, which do not always require clathrin to produce vesicles (Faundez et al., 1998; Shi et al., 1998). Another system where the coat assembles in two layers is the COPII coat. Sar1·GTP and the Sec23/24 dimer first associate with the membrane and in turn recruit the filamentous Sec13/31 coat. Whether Sec23/24 also oligomerizes upon recruitment with Sar1·GTP before association with Sec13/31 remains to be tested.

Although AP-1 could also be recruited to liposomes lacking LY peptides when cytosol was present, AP-1 oligomerization only occurred when sorting signals were present. This is reminiscent of the observation that coatomer and AP-2 oligomerize in solution when exposed to high concentrations of sorting peptides (Reinhard et al., 1999; Haucke and Krauss, 2002). However, AP-1 oligomerization is in addition dependent on Arf1·GTP, because ArfGAP1-induced GTP hydrolysis triggered disassembly of the oligomers and the release of AP-1 from the membrane. This is also reflected in vivo where overexpression of ArfGAP1 strongly reduces membrane association of AP-1 throughout the cell.

One of our main findings is that AP-1 stimulates ArfGAP1-induced GTP hydrolysis on Arf1. The interaction observed in vitro between the appendage domain of -adaptin and the C-terminal noncatalytic portion of ArfGAP1 (Hirst et al., 2003) cannot by itself be responsible for GAP stimulation by AP-1, because the catalytic domain of ArfGAP1 (residues 1–136) was also stimulated by AP-1. This suggests the existence of a second AP-1 interaction site residing in the catalytic part of ArfGAP1. A similar two-site interaction of ArfGAP1 with coat has recently been described in the COPI system (Lee et al., 2005), where coatomer also efficiently stimulates the activity of the catalytic fragment of ArfGAP1 (Figure 6A and Goldberg, 1999). Alternatively, binding of AP-1 to Arf1·GTP might render Arf1 more sensitive to ArfGAP1.

GAP stimulation by AP-1 was found to be signal-dependent (Figure 6B). The simplest explanation for this observation is that in the absence of cytosol, sorting signals are required to recruit AP-1 to liposomes and thus bring it into proximity with the membrane-associated Arf1·GTP. Our finding that coatomer stimulates the activity of ArfGAP1 catalytic fragment independently of sorting peptides is in line with the observation that coatomer interacts with soybean liposomes independently of COPI cargo signals (Drake et al., 2000).

Cytosol-mediated recruitment of AP-1 to liposomes lacking sorting signals was stable only in the presence of non-hydrolyzable GTP analogs or a GTPase-deficient Arf1 mutant. In the presence of GTP, recruitment was short-lived, suggesting that the AP-1/Arf1·GTP complex in association with the cytosolic factor is highly susceptible to cytosolic GAPs. By contrast, AP-1 recruited in the presence of GTP and sorting signals was rather stably associated with liposomes, regardless of the presence of cytosol. Even after removal of the bulk of cytosol by floatation of the liposomes, AP-1 was clearly more sensitive to added ArfGAP1 when recruited in the absence of sorting signals (Figure 7D). This suggests a role of sorting signal in the regulation of GTP hydrolysis. Tyrosine-containing signals appear to reduce AP-1-dependent stimulation of ArfGAP1 activity. Such inhibition could be mediated by the interaction of tyrosine signals with AP-1 and/or with ArfGAP1, similar to the previously described inhibitory effect of the p24a cytosolic peptide on ArfGAP1 activity (Goldberg, 2000; Lanoix et al., 2001). In the GAP activity measurements (Figure 6), because signals were required for AP-1 recruitment to the liposome, this inhibited level of GAP stimulation was determined.

View larger version (22K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 8. A model for AP-1/clathrin coat recruitment and the role of GTP hydrolysis. Gray arrows indicate recruitment of AP-1 to the membrane via Arf1·GTP and either a cytosolic factor (CF) or directly to cargo proteins with tyrosine motifs (Y). On interaction with cargo, AP-1 oligomerizes. GTP hydrolysis induced by ArfGAP1 (not drawn for simplicity) causes AP-1 dissociation unless the clathrin layer has been assembled. Arf1·GTP hydrolysis by ArfGAP1 is differentially stimulated by the AP-1/CF complex, the AP-1/cargo oligomers, and by membrane curvature limiting the time available for the next step in productive coat formation and preparing the adaptor layer for subsequent disassembly, respectively. See also Discussion.

The fact that only traces of Arf1 are detectable in purified CCVs (Zhu et al., 1998) suggests that GTP hydrolysis does not necessarily cause uncoating of the full coat. In our assays using cytosol, we were unable to detect significant amounts of clathrin with the floated liposomes (unpublished data), suggesting that under the conditions used clathrin recruitment and coat completion was not reconstituted. Disassembly of the clathrin layer of CCVs was shown to be catalyzed by hsc70 and its cofactor auxilin or auxilin2/cyclin G-associated kinase (GAK; Ungewickell et al., 1995; Umeda et al., 2000). On clathrin release, the AP-1 layer without active Arf1 is already prepared for dissociation. In addition to this mechanism, it has been shown that phosphorylation of µ1, most likely by GAK, enhances interaction with mannose-6-phosphate receptors, but not with tyrosine motifs as used here, and that dephosphorylation by protein phosphatase 2A stimulates AP-1 release from CCVs in the presence of hsc70 (Ghosh and Kornfeld, 2003). Although GAP activity may not be sufficient for the late stages of CCV disassembly, our results indicate that ArfGAP1 participates in the initial steps of coat formation. Because the rate of GTP hydrolysis is regulated by AP-1 and cargo availability, the Arf1 GTPase and its GAP contribute to cargo recruitment and productive coat formation.
