How GAP for ARF1 acts in vesicular transport has been best studied in the COPI system, where it has been suggested to antagonize coat recruitment during vesicle formation. Much of this view has been derived from reconstitution studies that blocked GTP hydrolysis on ARF1, using either GTPS (Serafini et al., 1991) or an activating mutant of ARF1 (Tanigawa et al., 1993). As vesicles produced in these perturbations cannot uncoat, this finding has led to the conclusion that GAP triggers vesicle uncoating. Thus, during vesicle formation, GAP activity would be predicted to antagonize the recruitment of coat proteins and thereby abort vesicle production. As cargo sorting occurs during vesicle formation, a surprising subsequent observation is that GTP hydrolysis on ARF1, which reflects the catalytic activity of GAP, is necessary for the proper concentration of cargo proteins in COPI vesicles (Nickel et al., 1998; Lanoix et al., 1999; Pepperkok et al., 2000). Recent models of cargo sorting have attempted to reconcile these seemingly contradictory roles of GAP, focusing particularly on how cargo proteins might suppress the catalytic activity of GAP during vesicle formation to prevent uncoating (Goldberg, 2000; Lanoix et al., 2001). However, what has remained unclear is whether GAP indeed acts to antagonize coat recruitment during vesicle formation, as the original evidence for this role, based on the effect of blocking GTP hydrolysis on ARF1, is an inference.
In this study, we have directly assessed the role of GAP in vesicle formation by using a reconstitution system that involves Golgi membrane incubated in the presence of GTP with purified coatomer (soluble COPI) and recombinant ARF1 and ARFGAP1 (the prototypic GAP for ARF1; Cukierman et al., 1995). This system has also allowed us to examine more precisely how GTPS affected the function of GAP during vesicle formation. Our results suggest a surprising conclusion that GAP does not antagonize coat recruitment during vesicle formation, but, rather, functions as a component of the coat to promote this process.

We initially performed the first stage of the two-stage incubation to verify ARF1-dependent recruitment of COPI to Golgi membrane. Both ARF1 and COPI (assessed through ß-COP) were shown to pellet with Golgi membrane after a moderate-speed centrifugation (Fig. 1). The pelleted Golgi membrane was then recovered for a second-stage incubation with GAP followed by another moderate-speed centrifugation to repellet the Golgi membrane. Incubation with GAP, but not with buffer alone, induced a significant fraction of ß-COP on Golgi membrane to become released to the supernatant (Fig. 1). However, as this supernatant fraction could, in principle, contain either soluble COPI or COPI bound to small membranes that cannot be pelleted (such as vesicles), we assessed directly for vesicle formation by examining a fraction of the supernatant with EM using a whole mount technique.

We also sought to determine more precisely how GAP participated in cargo sorting and how GTPS affected GAP in this process by comparing cargo sorting either in the presence or absence of GAP and either in the presence of GTP or GTP
S. The KDEL receptor has been shown previously to be transported in COPI vesicles (Orci et al., 1997). Thus, we generated a cell line that stably expressed a myc-tagged form of the KDEL receptor, as the tagged receptor has been shown to be functional (Lewis and Pelham, 1992; Aoe et al., 1997) and its moderate expression in stable cell lines has no discernible perturbations on transport (Aoe et al., 1997). Golgi membrane was then isolated from the stable cell line for incubation in the two-stage incubation system, and the level of myc-tagged KDEL receptor in reconstituted vesicles was then assessed by immunogold EM. For these experiments, the effect of GTP
S that would block vesicle formation was overcome by using additional manipulations. We found that GTP
S inhibited cargo sorting as compared with GTP, and the presence of GAP was required for efficient cargo sorting (Fig. 5). These findings provided direct confirmation that GAP indeed played an important role in cargo sorting, as suggested from the previous observations that blocking GTP hydrolysis on ARF1 inhibited cargo sorting (Nickel et al., 1998; Lanoix et al., 1999; Pepperkok et al., 2000).

The finding that GAP existed in at least stoichiometric levels to COPI on our reconstituted vesicles raised the possibility that GAP may be acting not just catalytically on ARF1 during vesicle formation, but also as a structural component of the COPI coat. As this possibility also predicted that the segregated recruitment of COPI and GAP to Golgi membrane, as done in the two-stage incubation, would hinder coat formation as compared with a one-stage incubation that would allow all components of the coat to be present simultaneously, we compared a one-stage incubation with the two-stage incubation. Indeed, the latter situation produced fewer vesicles when examined for either total vesicles or those labeled for COPI (Fig. 8 A), indicating that the presence of both GAP and COPI during recruitment was more efficient for vesicle production than when the two were recruited separately.

For the current study, we have used a combination of biochemical and morphologic approaches to assess the reconstituted vesicles. A distinct advantage of the morphologic approach is the ability to ascertain that vesicles are formed and that they are coated by COPI through direct visualization with immunogold labeling. Moreover, this approach has provided us with the practical means of stopping the reaction of the second-stage incubation immediately by fixation and directly applying samples onto grids for examination by EM, as we have found that the nascent coated vesicles went on to uncoating. Although our approach results in relatively dilute samples, because no further concentration of vesicles is performed before examination by EM, quantitation as substantiated by standard errors reveals that this approach is a reliable means of assessing the relative level of vesicles produced by different conditions and perturbations.
Using this approach, we have not only elucidated how GAP acts in the presence of GTP, but also how GTPS affects this function. Although GTP
S has been shown previously to block vesicle uncoating (Melancon et al., 1987), we have found that it also blocks an earlier step of transport by blocking vesicle formation. The additional maneuvers of salt treatment and pipette-induced shearing used in previous reconstitutions of COPI vesicles are able to overcome this block to form coated vesicles. This insight has also allowed us to compare the characteristics of GTP
S-induced vesicles with those reconstituted in the presence of GTP. As would be predicted by previous observations (Nickel et al., 1998; Lanoix et al., 1999; Pepperkok et al., 2000), we find that GTP
S reduces the efficiency of cargo sorting. However, by elucidating how this inhibition occurs, we have discovered an unanticipated finding that vesicles formed in the presence of GTP
S have reduced levels of GAP. This finding suggests that rather than inhibiting vesicle formation by blocking the catalytic activity of GAP, as would be suggested by the previous studies (Nickel et al., 1998; Lanoix et al., 1999; Pepperkok et al., 2000), GTP
S acts by preventing the proper recruitment of GAP during vesicle formation.
Insight into how this inhibition in GAP recruitment may occur is suggested by studies on the reconstitution of COPII vesicles. Stabilization of reconstituted COPII vesicles requires GMP-PNP, not GTPS (Barlowe et al., 1994), and more recently, GDP in the presence of beryllium fluoride has also been shown to stabilize coating on these vesicles (Antonny et al., 2001). These findings are reminiscent of the requirement for stabilizing Ras and its GAP in a complex. Structural studies suggest that fluoride coordinated to GDP serves as a better mimic of a nonhydrolyzable form of GTP than GTP
S, because the contacts that
-phosphate has with key residues in the catalytic domain of GAP are better preserved (Mittal et al., 1996). Collectively, these observations suggest a likely explanation that the inhibition of vesicle formation by GTP
S seen in our reconstitution is due to an altered ability of GAP to form a complex with ARF1, rather than inhibition of the catalytic activity once such a complex has been formed.
The role of ARF1 in regulating the recruitment of COPI onto Golgi membranes was first elucidated using a reconstitution system, where Golgi membrane was incubated with purified ARF1 and coatomer (Donaldson et al., 1992a). Purified GEF was not needed, as the isolated Golgi membrane was found to contain GEF activity for the activation of ARF1 (Donaldson et al., 1992b; Helms and Rothman, 1992). In the presence of GTP, ARF1 and COPI could not be recruited stably onto Golgi membrane. Rather, stable recruitment required GTPS, suggesting that the isolated Golgi membrane also had a GAP activity that acted to deactivate ARF1 for its release from membrane. However, although the use of GTP
S that allowed GEF to function provided direct evidence that the recruitment of ARF1 and COPI was coupled, whether their release from membranes was also coupled could not be assessed directly in this system. Nevertheless, in the absence of evidence indicating otherwise, the prevailing view has become that deactivation of ARF1 triggers the release of COPI from membrane (Tanigawa et al., 1993), as such a view has elegance in its simplicity. As a consequence, because GAP is responsible for catalyzing ARF deactivation, it has also been assumed to trigger uncoating, a process that would antagonize vesicle formation.
In light of this view, a surprising turn came from the examination of cargo sorting when GAP activity was blocked by preventing GTP hydrolysis on ARF1. COPI vesicles formed under this circumstance were shown to have reduced ability to concentrate cargo proteins (Nickel et al., 1998; Lanoix et al., 1999; Pepperkok et al., 2000). As cargo sorting occurs during vesicle formation, the effects of GAP on cargo sorting and coat recruitment during vesicle formation were seemingly contradictory. Recent models of cargo sorting have attempted to reconcile this apparent disparity by building on another set of observations that COPI stimulates the catalytic activity of GAP (Goldberg, 1999) and that different cargo proteins modulate this effect (Goldberg, 2000; Lanoix et al., 2001). However, these models have had to make a key assumption that the recruitment of GAP would antagonize coat recruitment, because the experimental systems used, either soluble proteins recruited onto beads (Goldberg, 2000) or examining vesicles after they have shed the COPI coat (Lanoix et al., 2001), are not capable of examining directly whether GAP triggers uncoating during vesicle formation. Moreover, truncated versions of ARFGAP1 that contain only the catalytic domain have been used in some studies (Goldberg, 1999, 2000), and this form of the protein may not provide a full glimpse into its function (Szafer et al., 2000, 2001), as evidence suggests that the noncatalytic domain plays an essential role in targeting the protein properly (Aoe et al., 1999; Huber et al., 1998).
Our reconstitution attempts to overcome these caveats by using full-length proteins in devising an approach to assess directly the role of GAP in vesicle formation. A key finding is that both GAP and COPI exist in stoichiometric levels on nascent coated vesicles, whereas ARF1 is relatively depleted on these vesicles. This observation does not fit well with the currently proposed models. Although it can be postulated that GAP activity can be suppressed by cargo proteins during initial coat recruitment to allow GAP and COPI to coexist temporarily as complexes on the recruited membrane, once budding has occurred and the vesicles have formed, current models that assume ARF1 deactivation to trigger uncoating predict that the nascent coated vesicles would contain both ARF1 and COPI in stoichiometric levels. As we have found otherwise, we propose an alternate model to better account for the observed behaviors of ARF1 and GAP on COPI vesicles reconstituted by GAP in the presence of GTP. For GAP in particular, we also have to explain the observations that GAP exists in stoichiometric levels to COPI on coated vesicles and interacts directly with cargo proteins, and also that its presence on coated vesicles is markedly reduced in the presence of GTPS, which we have elucidated to block vesicle formation.
Altogether, our observations can be best explained by GAP acting as a component of the COPI coat during vesicle formation. Coat proteins have at least three defining characteristics (Schekman and Orci, 1996; Schmid, 1997). First, they are the structural components of nascent vesicles by being the most abundant proteins on these vesicles. Second, they promote vesicle formation. Third, they participate in cargo sorting, often by interacting directly with cargo proteins. The behavior of ARFGAP1 elucidated in the current paper exhibits all three criteria. This proposed function for ARFGAP1 is reminiscent of how Sec23p, the GAP for the small GTPase Sar1p, has been suggested to function in the COPII system (Barlowe et al., 1994). Sec23p associates with another component of the COPII coat (Sec24p), even when they are in the cytosol (Hicke et al., 1992). Thus, the recruitment of the COPII coat during vesicle formation would necessarily recruit the GAP for Sar1p simultaneously and in stoichiometric levels to other components of the COPII coat. During this process, Sec23p has been proposed to act as a component of the COPII coat to drive both vesicle formation and cargo sorting (Springer et al., 1999). On the other hand, ARFGAP1 is not part of the cytosolic form of the COPI coat complex (Makler et al., 1995), known as coatomer (Waters et al., 1991). Nevertheless, despite differences in the cytosolic compositions of COPI and COPII, we have found that once recruited to membranes, the role of ARFGAP1 during vesicle formation is fundamentally similar to that of Sec23p. Thus, mechanisms by which GAPs for the ARF-related small GTPases regulate vesicular transport are more conserved than previously thought.

Other materials were prepared as previously described: CHO Golgi membrane (Serafini and Rothman, 1992), rat liver cytosol (Makler et al., 1995), coatomer (Pavel et al., 1998), recombinant full-length N-myristoylated ARF1 (Randazzo, 1997), full-length ARFGAP1 (Vitale et al., 2000), and COPI vesicles derived by incubating Golgi membrane and cytosol in the presence of GTPS (Serafini and Rothman, 1992). A CHO cell line stably transfected with a myc-tagged form of the KDEL receptor was generated using procedures as previously described (Aoe et al., 1997).
Other antibodies were either previously generated or obtained: mouse antiß-COP antibody (M3A5; provided by the late T. Kreis, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland), rabbit anti-COP and rabbit anti
-COP antibodies (provided by J. Rothman and T. Sollner, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY), rabbit anti-ARF1 antibody (Marshansky et al., 1997), and rabbit anti-ARFGAP1 antibody (provided by D. Cassel, Technion Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel).
Reconstitution system
The two-stage incubation system was performed essentially as previously described (Ostermann et al., 1993). Specifically, the first-stage incubation involved prewashed Golgi membrane (0.2 mg/ml), coatomer (6 µg/ml), ARF1 (6 µg/ml), and 2 mM GTP or 20 µM GTP--S in 500 µl of assay buffer (25 mM Hepes-KOH, pH 7.2, 50 mM KCl, 2.5 mM Mg(OAc)2, 1 mg/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor, 200 mM sucrose) for 15 min at 37°C. Reactions were stopped by incubating in an ice water bath for 5 min, and samples were centrifuged for 10 min at 12,000 g and 4°C to collect the pellet fraction that contained Golgi membrane. This pellet was then resuspended in 100 µl of assay buffer for the second-stage incubation, using ARF-GAP1 (6 µg/ml), palmitoyl-CoA (10 µM), or nothing for the mock incubation, for times at 37°C as indicated. Reactions were again stopped by incubating in an ice water bath for 5 min, and samples were centrifuged for 10 min at 12,000 g and 4°C to collect the pellet fraction that contained Golgi membrane or supernatant that contained a mixture of soluble proteins and membrane vesicles. To analyze COPI vesicles by flotation gradient, the reactions were scaled up fivefold, and centrifugation was performed at 40,000 rpm for 16 h using a SW55 rotor (Beckman Coulter).
EM
Samples at room temperature were first adsorbed onto Formvar carbon-coated grids (Electron Microscopy Sciences) for 10 min, and then fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde in PHEM buffer (250 mM Pipes, 100 mM Hepes, 8 mM MgCl2, 40 mM EGTA, adjust pH to 6.9 with NaOH) for 10 min. Grids were washed four times with PBS/0.15 M glycine, incubated for 10 min in PBS/1% BSA, and then washed seven times with distilled water. Staining was performed using 2% methyl cellulose/0.4% uranyl acetate in distilled water for 10 min. Grids were then air dried for examination by EM (Jeol) at 80 kV. For immunogold labeling, the following steps were performed before staining with methyl cellulose/uranyl acetate, essentially as previously described (Peters and Hunziker, 2001). Grids were incubated with primary antibody for 1 h, followed by four washes using PBS/0.15 M glycine and six washes using PBS/0.1% BSA. Primary antibodies were used at the following dilution in PBS/1% BSA: anti-ARF1 at 1:200, anti-ARFGAP1 at 1:2,500, anti-COP at 1:500, anti
-COP at 1:500, and anti-myc at 1:100. Incubation with secondary antibody conjugated to 10-nm gold particles was performed for 30 min, followed by seven washes using PBS/0.1% BSA. Grids were then fixed with 1% glutaraldehyde in PBS for 5 min, followed by seven washes with distilled water.
Quantitative EM was performed by randomly selecting five meshes from different regions of a grid and then each mesh was scanned as fields of 60,000 magnification. For counting, one corner of the mesh was identified as the first field, and then subsequent fields were visualized by moving into adjacent nonoverlapping areas. This method resulted in 25 fields counted in each mesh. Vesicles identified at 60,000 magnification were further confirmed at 120,000 magnification for labeling with gold particles. Total vesicles counted per mesh were then calculated for a mean and standard error. The calculated values were derived from a representative experiment of at least two separate experiments.
Phospholipid analysis
The different incubation conditions were performed as described above. Total protein was extracted by incubating the pellet (containing Golgi membrane) resuspended in water and the supernatant (containing COPI vesicles) with chloroform/methanol (2:1), such that the ratio of aqueous to solvent phase was 3:10 by volume. The solvent phase was then dried under nitrogen airflow, dissolved in chloroform/methanol (2:1), and resolved on a silica plate by thin layer chromatography using a solvent system that consisted of chloroform/methanol/water (65:35:5), as previously described (Moody et al., 2000). As phosphatidylethanolamine has been suggested to be one of the major phospholipids of COPI vesicles (Spang et al., 1998), its level in different samples was compared with known levels of purified phosphatidylethanolamine that were run simultaneously on the silica plate as standards. Densitometry of the silica plates was performed by image scanning followed by quantitation using Scion Image (Scion Corporation).
Pulldown assay using GST fusion proteins
For pulldown experiments using GST fusion proteins, DNA sequences encoding for the cytoplasmic tail of the KDEL receptor, wild-type (TKVLKGKKLSLPA) and the dilysine mutant (TKVLKGSSLSLPA), and p23 (LRRFFKAKKLIE) were subcloned into the pGEX-4T-3 vector. GSTWbp1 and GSTWbp1-SS constructs were obtained from P. Cosson (University of Geneva). GST fusion proteins were purified using glutathione-Sepharose beads according to the manufacturer's protocol (Amersham Biosciences). Purified coatomer (500 ng) or ARFGAP1 (50 ng) were then incubated with GST fusion proteins (5 µg) on glutathione beads in 0.5 ml incubation buffer (50 mM Hepes, pH 7.3, 300 mM NaCl, 90 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, and 0.5% NP-40) at 4°C for 1 h. Beads were washed three times with the same buffer and then analyzed by SDS-PAGE followed by Western blotting or Coomassie blue staining.
