The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel is regulated by cAMP-dependent vesicle traffic and exocytosis to the apical membrane in some cell types, but this has not been demonstrated in the intestinal crypt. The distribution of CFTR, lactase (control), and fluid secretion were determined in rat jejunum after cAMP activation in the presence of nocodazole and primaquine to disrupt vesicle traffic. CFTR and lactase were localized by immunofluorescence, and surface proteins were detected by biotinylation of enterocytes. Immunoprecipitates from biotinylated and nonbiotinylated cells were analyzed by streptavidin detection and immunoblots. Immunolocalization confirmed a cAMP-dependent shift of CFTR but not lactase from a subapical compartment to the apical surface associated with fluid secretion that was reduced in the presence of primaquine and nocodazole. Analysis of immunoblots from immunoprecipitates after biotinylation revealed a 3.8 +/- 1.7-fold (P < 0.005) increase of surface-exposed CFTR after vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). These measurements provide independent corroboration supporting a role for vesicle traffic in regulating CFTR and cAMP-induced fluid transport in the intestine.

The mammalian Apolipoprotein-L families (APOLs) contain several isoforms of membrane-interacting proteins, some of which are involved in the control of membrane dynamics (traffic, fission and fusion). Specifically, human APOL1 and APOL3 appear to control membrane remodeling linked to pathogen infection. Through its association with Non-Muscular Myosin-2A (NM2A), APOL1 controls Golgi-derived trafficking of vesicles carrying the lipid scramblase Autophagy-9A (ATG9A).

The intracellular domains of many transmembrane proteins are ubiquitylated, which promotes their internalization by clathrin-mediated endocytosis. How might this enhanced internalization impact endocytic uptake of transmembrane proteins that lack ubiquitylation? Recent work demonstrates that diverse transmembrane proteins compete for space within highly crowded endocytic structures, suggesting that enhanced internalization of one group of transmembrane proteins may come at the expense of other groups.

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors mediate pathogen effector-triggered immunity (ETI) in plants, and a subclass of NLRs are hypothesized to function at the plasma membrane (PM). However, how NLR traffic and PM delivery are regulated during immune responses remains largely unknown. The rice NLR PigmR confers broad-spectrum resistance to the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.

In eukaryotic cells, autophagosomes are double-membrane vesicles that are highly mobile and traffic along cytoskeletal tracks. While core autophagy-related proteins (ATGs) and other regulators involved in autophagosome biogenesis in plants have been extensively studied, the specific components regulating plant autophagosome motility remain elusive. In this study, using TurboID-based proximity labelling, we identify the retromer subcomplex comprising sorting nexin 1 (SNX1), SNX2a, and SNX2b as interacting partners of ATG8.

Air pollution is a hazardous contaminant, exposure to which has substantial consequences for health during critical periods, such as pregnancy. MicroRNA (miRNA) is an epigenetic mechanism that modulates transcriptome responses to the environment and has been found to change in reaction to air pollution exposure. The data are limited regarding extracellular-vesicle (EV) miRNA variation associated with air pollution exposure during pregnancy and in susceptible populations who may be disproportionately exposed.
