Regulation of Endosome Sorting by a Specific PP2A Isoform


Department of Pharmacology, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas 75235
The regulated sorting of proteins within the trans-Golgi network (TGN)/endosomal system is a key determinant of their biological activity in vivo. For example, the endoprotease furin activates of a wide range of proproteins in multiple compartments within the TGN/endosomal system. Phosphorylation of its cytosolic domain by casein kinase II (CKII) promotes the localization of furin to the TGN and early endosomes whereas dephosphorylation is required for efficient transport between these compartments (Jones, B.G., L. Thomas, S.S. Molloy, C.D. Thulin, M.D. Fry, K.A. Walsh, and G. Thomas. 1995. EMBO [Eur. Mol. Biol. Organ.] J. 14:5869–5883). Here we show that phosphorylated furin molecules internalized from the cell surface are retained in a local cycling loop between early endosomes and the plasma membrane. This cycling loop requires the phosphorylation state-dependent furin-sorting protein PACS-1, and mirrors the trafficking pathway described recently for the TGN localization of furin (Wan, L., S.S. Molloy, L. Thomas, G. Liu, Y. Xiang, S.L. Ryback, and G. Thomas. 1998. Cell. 94:205–216). We also demonstrate a novel role for protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in regulating protein localization in the TGN/endosomal system. Using baculovirus recombinants expressing individual PP2A subunits, we show that the dephosphorylation of furin in vitro requires heterotrimeric phosphatase containing B family regulatory subunits. The importance of this PP2A isoform in directing the routing of furin from early endosomes to the TGN was established using SV-40 small t antigen as a diagnostic tool in vivo. The role of both CKII and PP2A in controlling multiple sorting steps in the TGN/endosomal system indicates that the distribution of itinerant membrane proteins may be acutely regulated via signal transduction pathways.

Abbreviations used in this paper: AC, acidic cluster; cd, cytosolic domain; GST, glutathione-S-transferase; MC, microcystin; m.o.i., multiplicity of infection; PACS-1, phosphofurin acidic cluster-sorting protein; PP2A, protein phosphatase 2A.
TWO compelling and fundamental questions in cell biology are to identify the mechanisms by which proteins are routed to their correct intracellular compartments and how these sorting steps are regulated. The broad importance and complexity of the trans-Golgi network (TGN)/endosomal sorting system (for review see Robinson et al., 1996) has been highlighted by recent studies of such diverse processes as delivery of vacuolar proteins in yeast (Cowles et al., 1997a,b; Piper et al., 1997; Voos and Stevens, 1998), transcytosis in polarized cells (Apodaca et al., 1996; Odorizzi et al., 1996; Zacchi et al., 1998), the mobilization of major histocompatability complex class 2 and Glut-4–containing endosomes (for review see Keller and Simons, 1997), and synaptic vesicle biogenesis (Cameron et al., 1991; West et al., 1997; Partoens et al., 1998). Despite their central role to the physiology of cells, the regulation of these complex trafficking systems remain largely undetermined.
One factor that contributes to the dynamic capacity of the TGN/endosomal sorting system is regulation by phosphorylation. The link between protein trafficking and phosphorylation provides a means by which cells can rapidly and reversibly alter the distribution and function of a variety of transmembrane proteins. Kinase and phosphatase activities have been shown to control both general and cargo-specific trafficking. Phospholipid kinases and phosphatases (for reviews see Stack et al., 1995; De Camilli et al., 1996; Shepherd et al., 1996; Woscholski and Parker, 1997) modulate membrane dynamics throughout the TGN/endosomal system, including budding from the TGN (Simon et al., 1996; Chen et al., 1997; Jones et al., 1998) and recycling from endosomal compartments (Cardone and Mostov, 1995; Spiro et al., 1996; Chung et al., 1997; Luo and Chang, 1997; Malide and Cushman, 1997). Although protein kinase activities have long been recognized as important modulators of receptor transduction complexes at the cell surface and in signaling endosomes (Bevan et al., 1995; Wang et al., 1996; Grimes et al., 1997), there is growing evidence that protein kinases and phosphatases also control the sorting of itinerant membrane proteins (for review see Seaman et al., 1996). Regulation of protein traffic by phosphorylation can occur via both general e.g., modification of adaptin binding to clathrin (Wilde and Brodsky, 1996), and TGN export (Ohashi and Huttner, 1994; Austin and Shields, 1996) and specific, cargo-directed mechanisms. Examples of the latter include the transcytosis of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (Apodaca and Mostov, 1993; Okamoto et al., 1994), internalization of T cell receptors (CTLA-4 [Bradshaw et al., 1997] and CD4 [Pelchen-Matthews et al., 1993]), as well as the TGN localization of the endoprotease furin (Jones et al., 1995; Takahashi et al., 1995; Dittié et al., 1997; Wan et al., 1998).
Whereas a few of the itinerant membrane protein–directed kinases involved in regulation of protein trafficking have been identified (e.g., CKII, Jones et al., 1995), both the phosphatases and the machinery responsible for the differential sorting of phosphoproteins remain largely uncharacterized. Furin is an excellent model for defining the cellular machinery involved in phosphorylation state-dependent protein sorting within the TGN/endosomal system. The endoprotease is routed through multiple proprotein processing compartments by virtue of defined trafficking signals within its cytosolic domain (cd)1 (Jones et al., 1995; Schäfer et al., 1995). Although the steady-state localization of furin is predominantly in the TGN (Bosshart et al., 1994; Molloy et al., 1994; Schäfer et al., 1995; Shapiro et al., 1997), the protease cycles between this compartment and the cell surface via an endosomal pathway (Molloy et al., 1994; Jones et al., 1995; Liu et al., 1997).
Internalization of furin from the cell surface and export from the TGN are directed by canonical tyrosine and/or dileucine based clathrin-coated pit recruitment motifs interacting with the clathrin sorting machinery (Ohno et al., 1996; Schäfer et al., 1995; Wan et al., 1998). Localization of furin to the TGN, however, requires a cluster of acidic residues (AC)1 that constitute a CKII phosphorylation site (Bosshart et al., 1994; Jones et al., 1995; Schäfer et al., 1995). Phosphorylation of this AC motif by CKII regulates the TGN localization of the protease by promoting its retrieval from immediate post-TGN compartments (Wan et al., 1998). The phosphofurin acidic cluster-sorting protein (PACS-1) directs this TGN retrieval step by linking the phosphorylated furin-cd to the clathrin sorting machinery (Wan et al., 1998).
Despite their importance for establishing processing compartments within endosomes and at the cell surface (Liu et al., 1997), the factors which control sorting of furin in peripheral compartments have not been well characterized. Phosphorylation of the furin-cd has, however, been implicated in the trafficking of the protease in the endosomal system (Jones et al., 1995). This observation indicates dual roles for both CKII and AC motifs in protein sorting. Furthermore, the ability of a phosphatase inhibitor (tautomycin) to alter the routing of internalized furin suggested that dephosphorylation is a critical determinant of furin sorting in early endosomes (Jones et al., 1995). The identity of the furin phosphatase, and the mechanism(s) by which these various factors act to regulate endosomal sorting, however, are not known.
The emerging complexity of the protein phosphatase (PP) 1 and 2A families suggests a myriad of roles for these enzymes. Indeed, isoforms of PP1 containing catalytic and regulatory or targeting subunits have been shown to control glycogen metabolism and myosin dephosphorylation (for review see Hubbard and Cohen, 1993). PP2A has been linked to the regulation of mitogen-signaling pathways, microtubule dynamics, and control of gene expression in the cell cycle (for reviews see Hubbard and Cohen, 1993; Mayer-Jaekel and Hemmings, 1994; Barford, 1996). The active form of PP2A in vivo is predominantly a heterotrimer which consists of a catalytic moiety (C subunit), as well as an A subunit which mediates the binding of variable regulatory subunits. Although neither phosphatase has been shown to direct protein trafficking, the demonstrated importance of subunit composition in determining their function in vivo suggests such a role is feasible.
A variety of PP2A regulatory subunit families genes, and splice variants have been reported (McCright et al., 1996; Zolnierowicz et al., 1996), yet specialized functions for these phosphatase isoforms remain to be established. Three unique PP2A regulatory subunit gene families have been identified to date in mammals based upon the characterization of tissue-specific isoforms and homology cloning. The B/PR55 family includes
, β, and
gene products, whereas the B'/B56 family contains 5 genes (
, β,
,
, and
) some of which express multiple splice variants (
1–5,
1–3). The PR72/130 regulatory subunits are the product of differential splicing of a single gene. Although some of these regulatory subunits are associated with isoforms of PP2A highly expressed in particular tissues or cell types (Strack et al., 1998), their roles in vivo are largely undetermined.
Here we report the identity of a furin phosphatase and the importance of furin-cd phosphorylation state in regulating multiple steps in the trafficking of the endoprotease in vivo. We demonstrate that furin undergoes phosphorylation-dependent local cycling between early endosomes and the cell surface. This peripheral cycling loop mirrors that reported for the TGN localization of the protease (Wan et al., 1998), and requires the phosphorylation state-dependent sorting protein PACS-1. Analyses in vitro and in vivo show that the movement of furin between early endosomes and the TGN is regulated by specific PP2A isoforms containing B family regulatory subunits. These findings demonstrate a novel role for PP2A and reveal the importance of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation in the acute regulation of protein sorting within the TGN/endosomal system.

Cell Culture and Immunofluorescence Analyses
BSC-40 and PACS-1 control (C1) and antisense (AS19) cells were cultured as previously described (Thorne et al., 1989; Wan et al., 1998). HeLa cells expressing TS-Dyn I under control of Tet-suppressing elements were obtained from S. Schmid (The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA), and maintained as described (Damke et al., 1995). For immunofluorescence analyses, cells were cultured directly on glass coverslips to a density of 50–80% confluence before experimental manipulation as described in figure legends. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and processed for immunofluorescence as previously described (Molloy et al., 1994). mAb M1 was detected using either FITC- or TXR-conjugated goat anti– mouse IgG2b-specific secondary antibodies (Fisher Scientific Co., Pittsburgh, PA).
Cloning and Expression Vectors
Epitope-tagged furin (fur/f), the CKII phosphorylation site point mutants (fur/f-DDD and fur/f-ADA), and the glutathione-S-transferase (GST)– Furcd fusion protein were generated previously (Molloy et al., 1994; Jones et al., 1995). Dynamin I WT and K44E cDNAs were each excised from pSVL (Herskovits et al., 1993) using EcoRI. The inserts were then blunted with Klenow and cloned into the vaccinia recombination vector pZVneo cut with StuI. SV-40 small t WT and the truncated small t mut 3 (Sontag et al., 1993) were excised from pCMV5 using EcoRI and BamHI, and then blunted with Klenow and inserted into pZVneo cut with StuI. Recombinant vaccinia expressing the various constructs were generated by standard methods (VanSlyke et al., 1995).
Surface Labeling and Uptake Analysis
HeLa cells expressing the temperature-sensitive dominant-negative dynamin I were cultured in 35-mm plates for 3 d at permissive temperature in the absence of tetracycline. The cells were then infected with vaccinia virus expressing fur/f with either the serine to alanine (fur/f-ADA) or serine to aspartic acid (fur/f-DDD) substitutions within the cd CKII site (multiplicity of infection [m.o.i.] = 10) and allowed to express at nonpermissive temperature, 37°C. At 6 h postinfection the cells were placed on ice, rinsed with cold PBS and surface proteins were labeled for 1 h using 0.5 mg/ml EZ-link NHS-SS-biotin (Pierce Chemical Co., Rockford, IL) in PBS. After labeling, the cells were rinsed three times with PBS containing 50 mM glycine to quench unreacted biotin, and then refed with prewarmed medium (except for 0 time points) and placed at permissive temperature (31°C) for 10, 20, 30, or 40 min. At each time point, cells were transferred to ice, rinsed with cold PBS, and then either harvested directly in modified RIPA buffer (mRIPA, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8, 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40 [Calbiochem-Novabiochem Corp., La Jolla, CA] and 1% sodium deoxycholate) for immunoprecipitation of total labeled furin using mAb M1 as previously described (Molloy et al., 1994), or were stripped of remaining surface biotin by washing three times for 10 min in Tris-buffered saline (TBS; 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8, 150 mM NaCl) with MesNa (50 mM). The surface-stripped samples were rinsed with PBS supplemented with Hepes (10 mM, pH 7.5) and harvested in mRIPA for immunoprecipitation of internalized labeled furin with mAb M1. The immunoprecipitates were resolved by SDS-PAGE on 8% gels, transferred to nitrocellulose membranes and probed with avidin HRP (1:2,000 dilution of 1 mg/ml in TBS + 0.05% Triton X-100) and developed by chemiluminescence (Renaissance; NEN Life Science Products, Boston, MA) to detect biotinylated furin. In double-strip analyses, cells processed as described above after the initial 20-min uptake period were then incubated for a second 20-min period at permissive temperature to allow for recycling of the internal pool to the cell surface. After the second chase period, cells were placed on ice and either harvested directly (control) or subjected to a second MesNa strip as described above before harvesting and analysis by Western blot.
PP2A Expression and Assays
Baculoviruses expressing PP2A catalytic, A, B
, and Bβ subunits have been described previously (Kamibayashi et al., 1994). The recombinant baculovirus encoding the B'
subunit was generated as described (Tehrani et al., 1996). For expression experiments, Sf9 cells growing in log phase were seeded in 25-cm flasks (3 x 106 cells/flask) and infected with baculovirus recombinants (m.o.i. = 2). The cells were harvested at 64–72 h postinfection by trituration and then pelleted and washed with PBS. The washed cell pellet was then resuspended in 0.5 ml of ice-cold harvest buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.0, 1 mM EDTA, and 2 mM DTT with pepstatin, leupeptin, PMSF, aprotinin, and E64) and the cells broken open by passage (10x) through a 25-gauge needle. The lysates were clarified by low speed centrifugation at 500 g and brought to 10% glycerol before performing phosphatase assays (see below).
Phosphatase Assays
Substrates for phosphatase assays were prepared by phosphorylating GST–Furcd fusion protein and phosphorylase b in vitro with CKII or phosphorylase kinase, respectively. The phosphorylation reactions (100 µl) contained 50 µg of substrate, and 100 µM of 32P-labeled ATP (3,000 cpm/ pmol). After phosphorylation for 1 h at 30°C, the reactions were run over two G25 spin columns to remove free ATP. Dephosphorylation assays were conducted in a 50-µl reaction containing lysates, buffer (25 mM Tris, pH 7.0, 0.2 mM MnCl2, 1 mM DTT, and 0.2 mg/ml BSA) and
10 µM phosphorylated substrate (either phosphorylase a or GST–Furcd). Aliquots (5 µl in triplicate) of each reaction were removed at 15 and 30 min of incubation and applied to P81 filter paper (Whatman Inc., Clifton, NJ) squares that were washed three times with 75 mM phosphoric acid to remove free phosphate and then dried and subjected to scintillation counting. In some cases, the aliquots were mixed with SDS sample buffer, resolved by SDS-PAGE, and then analyzed using a PhosphoImager (model 445SI; Molecular Dynamics Inc., Sunnyvale, CA). Both measurement techniques gave identical results.
Microcystin Affinity Chromatography
Affinity chromatography for purification of endogenous furin-directed phosphatase from BSC-40 cell extract was performed essentially as described (Moorhead et al., 1994). In brief, microcystin (MC)-LR (LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA) was derivatized with aminoethanethiol to generate a primary amine group for coupling to NHS-activated sepharose (Pharmacia Biotech Inc., Piscataway, NJ). Approximately 0.25 mg of derivatized MC was linked to 1 ml of Sepharose resin. For the preparation of extracts, three 15-cm plates of confluent BSC-40 cells were rinsed three times with cold PBS and one time with harvest buffer (see above). The cells were then scraped from the plates and lysed by passage (10x) through a 25-gauge needle. The extract was then clarified by low-speed centrifugation (10 min at 500 g) and brought to 10% glycerol. The clarified extract was then cycled over the MC column (0.5 ml/min) for 1 h at 4°C to allow binding of the phosphatase. The column was then washed with 10 vol of harvest buffer and eluted with 3M NaSCN. Each eluted fraction (10 ml) was dialyzed over night against harvest buffer before assaying for phosphorylase a and GST–Furcd-directed phosphatase activities as described above.

50%) of the fur/f-DDD found in internal compartments at the 20-min time point was reexpressed at the cell surface during a subsequent 20-min chase (Fig. 3 B, inset). Reexpression of substantial amounts of fur/f-DDD at the cell surface within 20–30 min is consistent with the recycling time of transferrin receptor in HeLa cells (Bleil and Bretscher, 1982), and suggests that the phosphorylated form of furin undergoes a similar local cycling between early endosomes and the cell surface.

Role of PP2A Regulatory Subunits in Determining Specificity for Furin
Although the PP2A C subunit is active towards numerous substrates in vitro, the predominant form of the enzyme in vivo is a trimeric complex with additional A and B subunits (for reviews see Barford, 1996; Hubbard and Cohen, 1993; Mayer-Jaekel and Hemmings, 1994). The A subunit promotes association of the C subunit with one of a variety of regulatory B subunits. Recent cloning studies reveal several unique families of regulatory subunits with multiple members derived from both separate genes and alternative splicing. Although the role of complex formation was originally envisioned as restricting the otherwise broad substrate specificity of the isolated C subunit, recent studies show that the B subunits can act as positive regulators to enhance catalytic activity toward particular substrates both in vitro and in vivo (Sontag et al., 1996). Moreover, the distinct subcellular localization of the different B subunits could act to target isoforms of PP2A to particular locations within the cell (Sontag et al., 1995; McCright et al., 1996; Okamoto et al., 1996). Together, these findings suggest a potentially high degree of isoform-specific PP2A characteristics.
To test the possibility that such isoform-specific composition could modulate the activity of PP2A toward furin, we adopted a strategy of phosphatase isoform reconstitution by baculovirus expression (Kamibayashi et al., 1994). Sf9 cells were coinfected with baculovirus recombinants expressing combinations of the C, A, and one of the various B subunits (Fig. 7 A). Furin phosphatase activity was strictly dependent on B subunit composition. Whereas expression of C subunit alone or coexpression of C and A subunits failed to generate increased furin phosphatase activity, coexpression of the C and A subunits with B family regulatory subunits (B
and Bβ) resulted in a selective increase in furin phosphatase activity (two- to fourfold). Importantly, the furin phosphatase activity was B family– specific since coexpression of C and A subunits with a member of the B' family, B'
, failed to stimulate furin phosphatase activity. Indeed, B'
selectively inhibited the basal furin-directed activity. This effect is most likely due to displacement of endogenous Sf9 cell B family regulatory subunits from holoenzyme complexes by the overexpressed B'
, which has a higher affinity for the AC complex in vitro (Tehrani et al., 1996). As expected, both the phosphorylase a and furin phosphatase activities were inhibited completely by submicromolar concentrations of okadaic acid and tautomycin. Furthermore, Western blot analyses of the Sf9 extracts using subunit-specific antisera show that (a) the appropriate regulatory subunits were indeed expressed by the recombinant baculoviruses and (b) similar levels of catalytic subunit were expressed in each combinatorial infection (Fig. 7 B). This latter observation indicates that the dramatic changes in furin dephosphorylation are not the result of differential stabilization of the catalytic subunit, but rather reflect the inherent ability of the regulatory subunits to facilitate the recognition of furin by PP2A holoenzyme.

To test this possibility, replicate plates of BSC-40 cells were coinfected with vaccinia virus recombinants expressing fur/f and either small t or an inactive small t mutant (mut3) lacking the PP2A binding site (Sontag et al., 1993). The effect of small t expression on the recycling of furin from the cell surface was then assessed in immunofluorescence studies as described above (Fig. 8). As seen previously, antibody uptake showed that recycling furin is primarily localized to the TGN/late endosome in control cells (Fig. 8 A). Coexpression of small t, however, resulted in an accumulation of the internalized furin in peripheral endosome-like structures (Fig. 8 C) as seen in cells treated with tautomycin (Fig 8 B). This effect required the PP2A-binding function of small t since the inactive mut3 construct had no discernible effect on furin trafficking (Fig. 8 D). These results complement the in vitro data described in Fig. 7 and show that PP2A isoforms containing B family regulatory subunits control the dephosphorylation dependent transfer of furin from early endosomes to the TGN.

Several findings indicate that phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of the furin-cd by CKII and PP2A directly affect furin trafficking in the TGN/endosomal system (Jones et al., 1995; Dittié et al., 1997; Wan et al., 1998). For example, the accumulation of furin in early endosomes observed upon treatment of cells with tautomycin (refer to Fig. 1) (Jones et al., 1995) is replicated by the fur/f-DDD point mutant designed to mimic phosphorylation at the CKII site. Furthermore, this effect of tautomycim requires an intact, phosphorylatable CKII site in the furin-cd (Jones et al., 1995). Similarly, the effect of depletion of the phosphorylation state-dependent furin-binding protein PACS-1 upon trafficking is selective for furin and proteins containing related AC motifs (Wan et al., 1998). Although these results suggest direct effects on furin sorting, it seems likely that CKII and PP2A also have additional global roles in controlling membrane traffic within the TGN/endosomal system.
Regulation of Isoform-specific Phosphatase Function
The regulation of furin trafficking by the combined activities of CKII and PP2A indicates a link between signaling pathways and control of protein localization within the TGN/endosomal system. Together with their known function in cell cycle progression, our studies support a broad role for CKII and PP2A in regulating diverse cellular processes. Although modulation of CKII activity in vivo has not been demonstrated (Allende and Allende, 1995), PP2A can be regulated in several ways. The importance of holoenzyme composition in generating a furin-directed phosphatase (refer to Fig. 7) illustrates the high level of substrate specificity determined by subunit composition. Similarly, the B family is required for the PP2A-catalyzed dephosphorylation of tau both in vitro and in vivo. Although a selective role for B' family subunits has not been demonstrated in mammalian cells, deletion of the B' homologue in yeast, Rts1, results in a temperature-sensitive growth defect that can be rescued by rabbit B' family subunits (Zhao et al., 1997). Together, these studies show that the PP2A regulatory subunits can act as positive effectors for select substrates.
Regulatory subunit composition may also modulate PP2A by targeting the phosphatase to select compartments. For example, B' subunits differentially partition between the nucleus and cytoplasm (McCright et al., 1996), whereas B
subunits target a population of PP2A to microtubules where they are positioned for efficient dephosphorylation of tau (Sontag et al., 1995). The microtubule-associated PP2A also undergoes cell cycle-dependent modulation of its activity, indicating an additional level of regulation. The observation that both the catalytic and regulatory subunits of PP2A are phosphoproteins (Mayer-Jaekel and Hemmings, 1994; McCright et al., 1996) introduces the possibility that this second tier of regulation represents rapid, reversible changes in PP2A function linked to second messenger signaling pathways.
Role of PP2A in Protein Sorting
The effect of SV-40 small t expression on furin sorting (Fig. 8) provides an unequivocal demonstration of PP2A's role in directing trafficking in the endocytic pathway. The selective displacement of B family regulatory subunits by small t offers a sensitive and direct diagnostic tool for delineating the role of PP2A isoforms in vivo. Our data do not, however, exclude a potential contribution by PP1 to the regulation of furin sorting. At limiting concentrations in vitro, PP1 is at least an order of magnitude more sensitive to tautomycin whereas PP2A is more sensitive to okadaic acid (Takai et al., 1995). Initial studies of the phosphorylation state-dependent sorting of furin, however, showed that, at low concentrations (100 nM), tautomycin affected sorting while similar concentrations of okadaic acid had no effect. Okadaic acid at high concentrations (e.g., 1 µM) not only affected furin trafficking, but also caused a dramatic dispersal of the paranuclear staining, consistent with disruption of the microtubule network and fragmentation of the TGN and Golgi (Lucocq, 1992; Reaven et al., 1993; Horn and Banting, 1994), precluding the use of this inhibitor in evaluating protein sorting. This preferential inhibition of furin trafficking by tautomycin could reflect cell type differences in the permeability of the inhibitors and/or their relative ability to penetrate the cellular compartments associated with PP2A-dependent sorting. Although the empirical determination of effective concentrations by examination of residual PP1 and PP2A activities in treated cells can facilitate the application of inhibitors as diagnostic tools (Favre et al., 1997), the possibility of resistant or sensitive pools of the enzymes remains a complicating factor.
TGN and Endosomal Protein Sorting Share Common Machinery
The requirement of PACS-1 for the sorting of phosphorylated furin in early endosomes points to several commonalties between the early endosome/cell surface furin cycling loop and the phosphorylation- and PACS-1–dependent localization of the endoprotease to the TGN (Wan et al., 1998). In the model shown in Fig. 9, the cell surface/early endosome local cycling loop represents a mirror image of a TGN/endosome cycling pathway. As for endocytosis of cell surface furin to early endosomes (Schäfer et al., 1995), efficient export of TGN-localized furin to a post-TGN endosomal compartment requires the canonical tyrosine- and/or dileucine-based internalization signals (Wan et al., 1998). These hydrophobic sorting signals bind directly to the clathrin adaptor AP-2 at the cell surface, whereas budding from the TGN uses AP-1 (Alconada et al., 1996; Honing et al., 1996; Ohno et al., 1996; Wan et al., 1998). Although furin in the peripheral recycling pathway colocalizes with TfR, demonstrating its presence in early endosomes, the identity of the post-TGN recycling compartment is not established. The recovery of phosphorylated furin from immature secretory granules in neuroendocrine cells (Dittié et al., 1997), however, provides an analogy for the TGN recycling loop. PACS-1 directs the retrieval step of both cycling loops by linking phosphorylated furin to the clathrin sorting machinery. Binding assays in vitro show PACS-1 connects the phosphorylated furin-cd to AP-1, which is consistent with a role for this adaptor in the TGN localization of membrane proteins. This finding, however, does not exclude the possibility that other adaptors (e.g., AP-3) may also mediate retrieval. The composition of the adaptor species used in the PACS-1–directed recycling between early endosomes and the plasma membrane has yet to be established. Interestingly, the prevalence on endosomes of clathrin-coated buds which contain neither
or
adaptin (Stoorvogel et al., 1996) indicates that unique adaptor species may mediate the retrieval step within the peripheral cycling loop.

Phosphorylation-dependent Sorting Regulates Furin Processing Compartments
While PACS-1 directs the retrieval of phosphorylated furin in both the TGN and peripheral cycling loops, the transport of furin between these loops requires dephosphorylation by PP2A. This dephosphorylation-dependent trafficking step provides a mechanism by which cells may control the distribution of furin between the biosynthetic and plasma membrane/endosomal processing compartments. Furin at the cell surface is tethered by interaction with the actin binding protein ABP-280 (Liu et al., 1997). This interaction modulates the rate of furin internalization and may also act to generate processing sites at the cell surface (e.g., bacterial toxin activation) (Gordon et al., 1995). The cycling of furin between the cell surface and endosomes may reflect a requirement for the formation of peripheral processing compartments in which the enzyme can be concentrated with its substrates. In addition, the internal milieu of the early endosomes (e.g., acidic pH) facilitates the processing of some substrates such as pseudomonas and diphtheria toxins (Gordon et al., 1995). Thus, due to the highly dynamic and transitory nature of the endosomal system, continuous cycling of phosphorylated furin between the plasma membrane and early endosomes could be the best mechanism for maintaining functional concentrations of the protease within the peripheral processing compartments. Similarly, the TGN cycling loop might function to optimize processing of substrates in the biosynthetic pathway. This concept is consistent with the observation that, in some cells, endogenous furin can be predominantly localized to a post-TGN processing compartment (Sariola et al., 1995).
A Broad Role for PACS-1/PP2A in Protein Sorting
The PACS-1–directed trafficking of furin suggests that the localization of additional proteins containing acidic cluster motifs may be regulated via the phosphorylation state-dependent sorting machinery. Indeed, a number of itinerant secretory pathway membrane proteins including the cation-independent (Meresse et al., 1990) and cation-dependent (Mauxion et al., 1996) mannose 6 phosphate receptors, carboxypeptidase D (Xin et al., 1997), and sortilin (Petersen et al., 1997) have CKII phosphorylatable ACs within their cytosolic domains. In the case of the MPRs this phosphorylation has been linked to the efficient function of the receptor, however, it is not clear how this modification effects trafficking. Interestingly, many herpes virus envelope glycoproteins (e.g., VZV-gE, HSV-1-gE, and HCMV-gB) have phosphorylatable AC sorting motifs on their cds (Edson et al., 1987; Norais et al., 1996; Yao et al., 1993). Recent data indicate that the phosphorylation of these sites can influence trafficking of the envelope proteins (Alconada et al., 1996; Fish et al., 1998) and that PACS-1 binds VZV-gE cytosolic domain (Wan et al., 1998), raising the possibility that the CKII-mediated sorting system is used in viral biogenesis and/or spread.
Our studies of the regulation of furin sorting between the early endosome and plasma membrane also reveal several parallels with the cellular machinery that controls the phosphorylation-dependent resensitization of G protein– coupled receptors. The trafficking of both furin and βAR depend upon (a) the phosphorylation state of the cytosolic domain (Ferguson et al., 1995, 1996), (b) the presence of a phosphorylation state-dependent connector protein (either PACS-1 or β arrestin) (Goodman et al., 1996) that provides a link to the clathrin-sorting machinery, and (c) dephosphorylation by specific endosome-associated PP2A isoforms (Pitcher et al., 1995).
In summary, our results reveal the integrated roles of identified components of the endosomal trafficking machinery that direct the phosphorylation state-dependent sorting of furin. The importance of kinase (CKII) and isoform-specific phosphatase (PP2A) activities in regulating protein routing also indicates that these sorting events are likely under the control of second messenger systems. Future studies, therefore, will focus on how this dynamic endosomal sorting system responds to intracellular signaling pathways in order to control the distribution and activity of membrane proteins in vivo.
