Introduction

All cells maintain nonrandom distributions of cylasmic components, including membranous organelles and macromolecular RNA or protein complexes. This cylasmic organization is accomplished by a concerted effort of molecular motors, which are proteins that transport cargo along microtubules or actin filaments using the energy of ATP hydrolysis (Schliwa and Woehlke, 2003; Vale, 2003; Mallik and Gross, 2004). The docking of motors to their specific cargoes is essential for proper cargo distribution. Several docking proteins that are essential for binding cylasmic dynein, kinesin, or myosin motors to cargo have been described recently (Fukuda et al., 2002; Kamal and Goldstein, 2002; Karcher et al., 2002; Wu et al., 2002). The most versatile and ubiquitous adaptor is the dynactin complex (Gill et al., 1991; Holleran et al., 1998; Karki and Holzbaur, 1999; Schroer, 2004). The main function of dynactin is to facilitate the attachment of cylasmic dynein to its cargo (Karki and Holzbaur, 1995; Vaughan and Vallee, 1995). In addition, dynactin can function as an adaptor for at least two motors of the kinesin superfamily, heterotrimeric kinesin-2 (Deacon et al., 2003) and mitotic kinesin Eg-5 (Blangy et al., 1997). Dynactin can also act independently of cylasmic dynein to anchor microtubules at the centrosome (Quintyne et al., 1999; Quintyne and Schroer, 2002) and organize radial microtubule arrays (Askham et al., 2002).

The dynactin complex consists of two morphologically distinct structural domains: a rod-shaped domain that binds to the cargo and an extended projection that mediates an interaction with cylasmic dynein and microtubules. The rod-shaped part consists of an Arp-1 filament and actin-capping proteins, whereas the projection is formed by a homodimer of a p150glued protein subunit. These two parts of the dynactin complex are bridged by the p50 subunit dynamitin. p150glued interacts with other subunits of the dynactin complex through its C terminus and with cylasmic dynein and other motors through its coiled-coil domains (Schroer, 2004).

Remarkably, in addition to providing a platform for motor binding, p150glued has the ability to interact with microtubules independently of cylasmic dynein. The microtubule-binding region of p150glued is localized at the extreme N terminus and consists of a CAP-Gly (cytoskeleton-associated protein glycine rich) domain and a basic region, both of which are positioned within the first 200 amino acid residues (Waterman-Storer et al., 1995; Vaughan et al., 2002; Culver-Hanlon et al., 2006). Analysis of p150glued isoforms in the mammalian brain showed that in addition to the full-length p150glued, neurons express an alternatively spliced 135-kD isoform lacking the microtubule-binding domain (Tokito et al., 1996). This suggests that this domain could be dispensable for at least some of the dynactin functions in nondividing cells.* l6 r6 _" l1 l. M! o

In vitro motility analysis using beads coated with a mixture of cylasmic dynein and dynactin demonstrated that dynactin could function as a processivity factor for dynein (King and Schroer, 2000), presumably by providing an extra site for microtubule binding and, thus, preventing cargo dissociation from microtubules (Waterman-Storer et al., 1995; Culver-Hanlon et al., 2006; Kobayashi et al., 2006). Another function of the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued is to localize the dynactin complex to the plus ends of growing microtubules (Vaughan et al., 2002). p150glued is a member of a family of microtubule plus end–binding proteins (Akhmanova and Hoogenraad, 2005) and colocalizes with other proteins of this class such as CLIP-170 and EB1 to the plus ends of growing microtubules (Vaughan et al., 1999; Ligon et al., 2003; Lansbergen et al., 2004). Its binding affinity to microtubules is regulated by phosphorylation (Vaughan et al., 2002). It has been postulated that the accumulation of p150glued at the plus ends of microtubules facilitates the loading of retrograde cargo on microtubules (Vaughan, 2005b) and linking microtubule plus ends to specific sites, such as mitotic kinetochores and the cell cortex (Mimori-Kiyosue and Tsukita, 2003).% Z" U6 b1 M; L3 C6 `7 P* M8 F

Both the tip binding and enhancement of motor processivity by dynactin require the N terminus of p150glued. However, the existence of the shorter p135 isoform of p150glued, which lacks the microtubule-binding motif, suggests that the dynactin complex can perform at least some of its functions even without this microtubule-binding activity. In this study, we examine the role of the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued in the cargo transport and organization of microtubules. In cultured Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells, we replaced the full-length p150glued protein with a truncated form lacking the microtubule-binding domain. We then examined effects of the deletion of the microtubule-binding domain on cargo transport (membranous organelles and mRNA–protein complexes) and the organization of microtubules. To eliminate the effect of the actin-based component on transport, we treated cells with cytochalasin D. Our results demonstrated that truncation of the first 200 amino acid residues from p150glued eliminated its binding to microtubules but had no effect on the rate, processivity, or step size of cargo transport by either kinesin-1 or cylasmic dynein. However, truncation of the microtubule-binding domain resulted in defects in organization of the mitotic spindles, including the formation of multipolar spindles and free microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs). Thus, we conclude that the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued is not required for microtubule-dependent transport but is essential for the proper organization of radial microtubule arrays.: V' j+ u.

Generation of cell lines and RNAi procedure1 f) S. ]; _- s- h

To replace the wild-type p150glued with a truncated form, we generated S2 cell lines expressing a fusion protein of monomeric red fluorescent protein (mRFP; Campbell et al., 2002) or EGFP with the N terminus of either full-length p150glued or p150glued with a deletion of residues 1–200 (N-p150glued). Stable cell lines were selected by hygromycin. We then treated cells with double-stranded RNA corresponding to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of p150glued mRNA to deplete the endogenous protein.

Western blotting with an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal fragment of p150glued showed that in addition to the endogenous protein, stable cell lines expressed new proteins with the molecular weights expected for fusions of either full-length p150glued or N-p150glued tagged with mRFP (Fig. 1, lanes 1 and 3) or EGFP (not depicted). The antibody generated against residues 1–200 of p150glued does not recognize N-p150glued (Fig. 1, lane 7), demonstrating that our construct is indeed lacking its N terminus.

Endogenous p150glued was depleted by using RNAi against the 3' UTR of p150glued mRNA (lanes 2, 4, 6, and 8). Lanes 1–4 were probed with an antibody against the C-terminal fragment of p150glued; lanes 5–8 were probed with an antibody against the N-terminal fragment of p150glued. Positions of mRFP-p150glued, mRFP–N-p150glued, and endogenous p150glued bands are marked by single, double, and triple arrowheads, respectively.% J9 g1 ~/ N5 z/ b9 v

As mentioned above, to deplete endogenous p150glued, we treated cells with a double-stranded RNA corresponding to the 3' UTR of p150glued mRNA. As shown in Fig. 1 (lanes 2, 4, 6, and 8), such treatment dramatically reduced the level of endogenous p150glued but did not affect the expression of mRFP-tagged p150 fusion proteins, as mRNAs encoding these proteins do not have the 3' UTR. Serial dilutions of samples demonstrated that the level of endogenous p150glued in RNAi-treated cells dropped below 10% of the control untreated cells (unpublished data). Thus, by using a combination of the stable expression of tagged p150glued constructs and RNAi-mediated knockdown of the endogenous p150glued, we can replace the endogenous protein with mRFP or with EGFP-tagged p150glued or N-p150glued.% g2 y8 x3 w' H" C9 `' P$ `

To examine whether truncation of the microtubule-binding domain affected the ability of p150glued to form a dynactin complex and interact with cylasmic dynein, we analyzed the sedimentation behavior of the dynein–dynactin complex in sucrose density gradients (Schroer and Sheetz, 1991). We performed these experiments using wild-type S2 cells and cells expressing EGFP-tagged p150glued or N-p150glued. Endogenous p150glued was depleted from cells expressing EGFP-tagged proteins by RNAi. To monitor the sedimentation behavior of p150glued, we used either an N-terminal p150glued antibody (for untransfected cells) or an antibody against EGFP (for transfected cells). The distribution of cylasmic dynein in gradient fractions was probed using an anti–dynein heavy chain (DHC) antibody. Western blot analysis of the fractions demonstrated that endogenous p150glued, EGFP- p150glued, and EGFP–N-p150glued have identical sedimentation profiles in sucrose gradients, with a peak in fractions 18–20 that coincides with the peak of cylasmic dynein (Fig. 2 A). Kinesin heavy chain (KHC) was probed as a control protein that does not sediment with DHC. These results indicate that neither truncation of the microtubule-binding domain nor fusion with EGFP affects the ability of p150glued to incorporate into the dynactin complex.

(B) Extracts from cells expressing EGFP-p150glued or EGFP–N-p150glued and untransfected cells were immunoprecipitated with an anti-EGFP antibody or control preimmune IgG.

To further confirm formation of the dynactin complex by truncated p150glued, we performed an immunoprecipitation assay using anti-EGFP antibody to pull down EGFP-p150glued or EGFP–N-p150glued and probed the precipitates for other dynactin subunits. Fig. 2 B shows that both p50-dynamitin and Arp1 were detected in the precipitates from cells expressing EGFP-p150glued or EGFP–N-p150glued, but not from untransfected S2 cells.

Analysis of these precipitates with the DHC antibody demonstrates the presence of cylasmic dynein in the samples precipitated with EGFP antibody from cells expressing EGFP-p150glued or EGFP–N-p150glued. DHC was not detected in the anti-EGFP immunoprecipitates from untransfected S2 cells or in precipitates with a preimmune serum. We conclude that N-p150glued incorporates into the dynactin complex and that this complex interacts with cylasmic dynein.) N1 ~. j  D- P! f

Microtubule binding depends on the N-terminal domain of p150glued

To examine microtubule binding by EGFP-p150glued or EGFP–N-p150glued, we performed a pelleting assay with microtubules in vitro and colocalization studies with microtubules in S2 cells. For microtubule pelleting assays, we expressed recombinant proteins that contain either amino acid residues 1–600 or 200–600 of p150glued fused to EGFP and His6 tags. Both proteins were purified by using a Talon affinity column, incubated with taxol-stabilized microtubules, and pelleted by centrifugation through a glycerol cushion. As shown in Fig. 3 A, p150glued (amino acids 1–600) bound to microtubules, whereas the truncation of 200 residues from the N terminus abolished microtubule binding. These results confirm previous studies demonstrating that the microtubule-binding domains of p150glued are localized within residues 1–160 of the protein (Waterman-Storer et al., 1995; Culver-Hanlon et al., 2006).

For in vivo analysis of microtubule binding, we depleted endogenous p150glued by RNAi and transiently transfected cells with either EGFP-p150glued or EGFP–N-p150glued constructs. Cells were extracted with Triton X-100 to remove soluble proteins, fixed in methanol, and double stained for microtubules and EGFP. As shown in Fig. 3 B, EGFP-p150glued decorated cylasmic microtubules. On the other hand, in agreement with in vitro results, EGFP–N-p150glued did not show any microtubule binding. In addition, both EGFP-p150glued and EGFP–N-p150glued were found in small clusters in the cylasm. We do not know the nature of these clusters, but they are probably identical to the cortical p150glued/APC clusters previously observed by Reilein and Nelson (2005) in association with microtubules in MDCK cells.5 c, G- K.

The interaction of p150glued and N-p150glued with microtubules was also examined in stable cell lines using a spinning disc confocal microscope. Similar to fixed cells, EGFP- p150glued in live S2 cells was localized along microtubules and formed clusters that move bidirectionally along microtubules (Video 1, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200608128/DC1). In some cells, EGFP-p150glued also accumulated at microtubule tips, although this phenotype was not as prominent as in mammalian cells (Video 2; Vaughan et al., 2002). On the other hand, in the cell line expressing EGFP–N-p150glued, microtubule decoration and microtubule tip accumulation were not observed in any focal plane, and p150glued clusters seemed to move randomly in the cylasm (Video 3). Thus, we confirm that the first 200 amino acid residues of p150glued contain microtubule-binding activity, and truncation of this domain completely eliminates the ability of p150glued to interact with microtubules..

Dynactin is required for bidirectional cargo transport% s; ~" K+ Y: B' u2 ^& ?, W

To investigate the role of dynactin in the process of microtubule-dependent transport, we used two types of cargo: membranous organelles (peroxisomes, endosomes, and lysosomes) and nonmembranous mRNA–protein (messenger RNP ) complexes (Drosophila homologue of the fragile X mental retardation protein ). Both EGFP-tagged peroxisomes and EGFP-tagged dFMRP particles have a well-defined morphology and are transported along microtubules by cylasmic dynein and conventional kinesin (kinesin-1) as we demonstrated previously (Ling et al., 2004; Kural et al., 2005). To study the movement of cargo along microtubules without the interference of any myosin-dependent components, S2 cells were plated on a concanavalin-A–coated substrate, and actin filaments were depolymerized with cytochalasin D. Under these conditions, cells formed long and thin processes that had a length of 5–20 μm with a diameter of 0.5–1 μm. In addition, as expected, cytochalasin D treatment eliminated ruffling of the lamella and retrograde flow of actin in the lamelloplasm that could contribute to the movement of organelles and could, therefore, interfere with analysis of microtubule-dependent movement. Immunofluorescent staining with an anti–-tubulin antibody showed that these processes contain microtubule bundles. Microtubules in these bundles have uniform polarity with their plus ends directed toward the tips of the processes (Kural et al., 2005). Both EGFP-tagged peroxisomes (Fig. 4 and Video 4, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200608128/DC1) and dFMRP particles (Ling et al., 2004) moved bidirectionally in these processes.# N; G% \& ?!

In agreement with our previous results (Ling et al., 2004; Kural et al., 2005), knockdown of either kinesin or cylasmic dynein by RNAi abolished the bidirectional motility of peroxisomes along microtubules (Fig. S1, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200608128/DC1). In addition, knockdown of either kinesin-1 or dynein by RNAi completely inhibited the motility of lysosomes and endosomes along microtubules (unpublished data). Inhibition of bidirectional movements after the RNAi-induced depletion of one motor is not caused by the depletion of the motor of the opposite polarity because the other motor is still present both in the soluble pool and in the organelle fraction (Fig. S2). These results agreed with a previous study showing the coordination of plus and minus end–directed movements of lipid droplets in Drosophila embryos (Gross et al., 2002) as well as a study showing an interdependence of cylasmic dynein, the dynactin complex, and kinesin in fast axonal transport in Drosophila neurons (Martin et al., 1999).

To study the role of dynactin in cargo transport, we knocked down either p150glued or the p50-dynamitin subunit of the Drosophila dynactin complex. Such treatment effectively reduced the bidirectional transport of both types of cargo, demonstrating that dynactin is required not only for the transport of membranous organelles but also for the transport of mRNP particles along microtubules (Fig. 5 A and Table S1, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200608128/DC1).

(B) The relative number of runs of both peroxisomes and dFMRP particles substantially dropped after the overexpression of dominant-negative inhibitors of dynactin, mRFP-p50, or mRFP-tagged coiled-coil 1 of p150glued (mRFP-CC1).

To further confirm the role of dynactin in cargo transport, we overexpressed mRFP fusion proteins with either p50-dynamitin or the first coiled-coil region (amino acid residues 232–583) of p150glued. Both constructs act as dominant-negative inhibitors of dynactin-dependent cellular processes (Burkhardt et al., 1997; Waterman-Storer et al., 1997; Quintyne et al., 1999). As shown in Fig. 5 B, the overexpression of either protein dramatically inhibited the transport of peroxisomes and dFMRP particles. It is worth noting that as in the case of dynactin knockdown, both the plus and minus end movements were blocked by the overexpression of dynactin subunits. The binding of both kinesin and dynein to dynactin could be one potential explanation of the inhibition of bidirectional movement in cells after the knockdown of dynactin subunits or overexpression of dominant-negative constructs. We performed immunoprecipitation assays to test this possibility. An antibody against p150glued pulled down DHC but not KHC from S2 extracts. Similarly, a kinesin antibody did not pull down p150glued, although, in agreement with a previous study (Ligon et al., 2004), it did pull down DHC (Fig. S3, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200608128/DC1). Thus, we conclude that dynactin is absolutely required for the bidirectional transport of both membranous (peroxisomes) and nonmembranous (mRNP) cargoes along microtubules, and this result cannot be explained by simultaneous binding of dynactin to the motor proteins of opposite polarity.9 F1 S, \5 t. }

Dynactin interaction with microtubules is not required for processive movement of cargo by dynein or kinesin in vivo

To determine the role of the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued, we analyzed the movement of EGFP-tagged peroxisomes and dFMRP particles in S2 cells expressing either mRFP-p150glued or mRFP–N-p150glued. As mentioned above (see Generation of cell lines and RNAi procedure), we treated cells with RNAi against the 3' UTR of p150glued mRNA to deplete endogenous p150glued. The observation of cargo movement in these cells indicated that the replacement of wild-type p150glued with either mRFP-p150glued or mRFP–N-p150glued had no effect on peroxisome or dFMRP particle transport. Similar to the wild-type cells, cells expressing N-p150glued showed multiple EGFP-labeled cargo moving bidirectionally within cellular processes (Videos 5 and 6, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200608128/DC1), whereas cells depleted of p150glued demonstrated no movement (not depicted).

Quantitative analysis demonstrated that removal of the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued did not affect the long-range movement of peroxisomes or dFMRP particles along microtubules. Unlike the total depletion of p150glued, replacement with mRFP–N-p150glued had no effect on the mean run length of either peroxisomes or dFMRP particles (Fig. 6 A). We also compared two other parameters of movement: the relative number of runs and the mean velocity of runs (Fig. 6 B, Fig. S4 A, and Table S1, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200608128/DC1). The relative number of runs was determined as the number of runs longer than a threshold value normalized to the number of analyzed organelles (see Materials and methods). This parameter should be most dramatically affected if the processivity of organelle movement was changed. In agreement with the mean run length data, the number of runs and velocity of peroxisome and dFMRP movements in both directions were not affected by removal of the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued.

Figure 6. Deletion of the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued has no effect on the mean run length or relative number of runs of both peroxisomes and dFMRP particles. (A) Mean run length; (B) relative number of runs. Note that the relative number of runs in cells having no p150glued expression dropped more than fivefold compared with the cells expressing mRFP-p150glued or mRFP–N-p150glued. The mean run length is calculated from the trajectory length of moving particles in the process without sping or changing directions. The total number of particles analyzed for each treatment group in this experiment was 83, 147, 256, 268, and 113 for peroxisomes and 172, 142, 170, 337, and 111 for dFMR (numbers correspond to bars on the chart from left to right). Error bars represent SD.

To exclude the possibility that the aforementioned results are specific to these two particular kinds of cargo, we measured the effects of removal of the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued on the movement of endosomes and lysosomes. Endosomes were labeled by the incubation of cells with Texas red–conjugated dextran, and lysosomes were labeled with Lysotracker. We found that similar to peroxisomes and dFMR, the movement of lysosomes and endosomes in cytochalasin-treated cells was not affected by truncation of the microtubule-binding domain (Fig. S4 B and Table S1). We also examined the distribution of organelles in cells not treated with cytochalasin D. We could not see any effects of truncation of the microtubule-binding domain on the steady state distribution of any organelles studied here (Fig. S4 C), suggesting that even in the presence of actin, organelle movement is not affected by truncation of the microtubule-binding domain. Collectively, these results demonstrate that the presence of the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued is not important for the movement of at least four different types of cargo along microtubules in S2 cells.

Previously, we showed that both kinesin and cylasmic dynein move peroxisomes along microtubules in discrete 8-nm steps in vivo that correspond to the step size of both motors in vitro (Kural et al., 2005). Similar discrete steps were clearly seen in traces of peroxisomes in cells expressing mRFP-p150glued or mRFP–N-p150glued and depleted of endogenous p150glued. As shown in Fig. 7, the mean step sizes for kinesin and cylasmic dynein in cells expressing mRFP–N-p150glued are 7.7 ± 1.8 nm and 8.9 ± 1.4 nm, respectively. These numbers are not substantially different from the mean step sizes of kinesin and dynein in cells expressing mRFP-p150glued (9.6 ± 3.1 nm and 8.8 ± 2.4 nm, respectively) or in wild-type cells as previously shown (Kural et al., 2005).

Drosophila cylasmic dynein and dynactin play critical roles during cell division that include spindle assembly and elongation, anaphase chromosome movements, and removal of spindle checkpoint components from attached kinetochores (Robinson et al., 1999; Sharp et al., 2000a,b; Wojcik et al., 2001; Buffin et al., 2005; Morales-Mulia and Scholey, 2005). To examine the mitotic contribution of the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued, S2 cells expressing EGFP-p150glued or EGFP–N-p150glued were treated with either control or double-stranded RNA from the 3' UTR of p150glued and immunostained for both microtubules and the mitosis-specific phosphorylated histone H3. Depletion of endogenous p150glued in cells expressing EGFP–N-p150glued elevated the mitotic index threefold and increased the frequency of prometaphase stage figures as compared with control RNAi–treated cells. A similar prometaphase-like arrest was also described for cultured mammalian cells overexpressing the dynactin inhibitor p50/dynamitin (Echeverri et al., 1996). Unexpectedly, we also observed a substantial increase in multipolar spindles in cells expressing EGFP– N-p150glued (Fig. 8, A and B2), a phenotype not previously described for dynactin inhibition. We attribute multipolar spindle formation to the failure to properly coalesce MTOCs during prometaphase, a mechanism that may depend on a p150glued–microtubule interaction.

A previous study found that 39% of untreated prophase S2 cells contain four or more -tubulin–staining MTOCs, and live imaging of S2 cells expressing GFP-tubulin revealed a clustering and fusion mechanism to eliminate extra MTOCs after nuclear envelope breakdown (Goshima and Vale, 2003). Consequently, failure to cluster and fuse extra MTOCs resulted in multipolar spindle formation. Furthermore, Quintyne et al. (2005) identified cylasmic dynein as a critical component of a centrosome-clustering mechanism present in human tissue culture cells that, when mislocalized in certain tumor cells, results in multipolar spindle formation. Consistent with this hypothesis, we found that cells expressing EGFP– N-p150glued exhibited a dramatic increase in the number of free MTOCs surrounding mitotic spindles (Fig. 8, A and B3). Thus, the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued is required to suppress multipolar spindle formation, probably by coalescing extra MTOCs that are frequent in many early mitotic S2 cells." j!

Discussion
( Z* W7 |2 C* V7 ?0 j& l, \) `# x
Adaptors between motors and cargo are a diverse group of cellular proteins, but the most universal of them is the dynactin complex. An unusual property of this complex is its ability to bind microtubules independently of motor proteins. In this study, we directly addressed the functional significance of the microtubule binding of dynactin by replacing endogenous p150glued with a p150glued mutant lacking residues 1–200, which was thus unable to bind microtubules (N-p150glued). We selected stable cell lines expressing mRFP-tagged p150glued or N-p150glued and depleted endogenous p150glued by using RNAi. This approach allowed us to study the contribution of the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued to cargo transport and the organization of mitotic microtubule arrays. We demonstrated that the movement of two types of cargo, membranous organelles (peroxisomes, endosomes, and lysosomes) and mRNP complexes (dFMRP particles), is absolutely dependent on the dynactin complex, but, to our surprise, N-p150glued, which lacks the ability to bind microtubules, was fully functional in supporting microtubule-dependent transport in vivo. All of the measurements were performed in the cells treated with cytochalasin D to eliminate actin-based motility.

It should be stressed that this study showed for the first time that dynactin is directly involved in RNA transport in somatic cells. Although a previous study suggested that dynactin is required for the proper localization of morphogen RNA in Drosophila oocytes (Januschke et al., 2002), direct evidence has been lacking. On the other hand, we observed a profound effect of truncation of the microtubule-binding domain on mitotic spindle structure, including the generation of multipolar spindles and free MTOCs. Although dynactin plays an important role in organizing the interphase radial microtubule arrays at the centrosome in mammalian cultured cells (Quintyne et al., 1999; Askham et al., 2002; Quintyne and Schroer, 2002), we observed no change in the pattern of interphase microtubules in S2 cells expressing N-p150glued. This was expected given that S2 cells lack functional centrosomes capable of nucleating and organizing microtubules during interphase. Instead, microtubules nucleate at random in the cylasm and do not form a focused radial array (unpublished data).( i4 Z7 l5 u: ^# H7 D

It is worth noting that one of the p150glued isoforms in the mammalian brain is an alternatively spliced version called p135, which naturally lacks the microtubule-binding motif (Tokito et al., 1996). As neurons are terminally differentiated cells that do not divide or contain radial arrays of interphase microtubules, they do not need dynactin activity to facilitate microtubule organization. On the other hand, the results presented here suggest that this alternatively spliced isoform is as effective as full-length p150glued in supporting transport.

Examination of the database shows that there is a second p150 gene in Drosophila (gi|23093121|gb|AAF49148.2|; Goldstein and Gunawardena, 2000). We performed additional experiments addressing whether the existence of this second gene rescues and compensates for the loss of the normal p150glued protein. RNAi against this gene did not change organelle movement either in the wild-type or mutant background. On the other hand, RNAi against conventional p150glued alone completely blocked movement. We assume that this second gene is not important for organelle transport or is not even expressed in S2 cells.8 e0 D1 j) H; W7 A) {

It has been reported recently that a G59S substitution in the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued results in decreased microtubule binding and enhanced dynein and dynactin aggregation (Levy et al., 2006). It is known that this substitution results in a slowly progressing motor neuron disease in humans (Puls et al., 2003), suggesting the impairment of dynactin functions. Although this mutation could directly affect organelle transport by altering the microtubule-binding affinity of the dynactin complex, it is also possible that it could inactivate dynactin by forming aggregates that recruit both wild-type and mutant dynactin, resulting in a decrease in the level of functional dynein–dynactin complex available for cargo transport.

Three possible functions have been proposed for the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued. First, King et al. (2000) demonstrated in vitro that the dynactin complex increases the processive movement of beads coated with cylasmic dynein. This idea is further supported by two recent studies (Culver-Hanlon et al., 2006; Kobayashi et al., 2006) showing that p150glued is capable of one-dimensional diffusion along microtubules and, thus, maintains contact with microtubules. Therefore, enhanced processivity in vitro can be achieved by the p150glued–microtubule interaction. In contrast, the results shown here indicate that the effect of dynactin on motor processivity is sufficiently minor, and it is not detected by tracking cargoes in vivo even with the 1-nm, 1-ms accuracy of the FIONA technique (Yildiz and Selvin, 2005). There are several potential explanations of an apparent discrepancy between our results and the previous in vitro studies (King and Schroer, 2000; King et al., 2003). First, it is not known whether the four types of cargo studied here are transported by single or multiple motors. If cargo were transported by more than one motor, dynactin would not contribute to the processivity. Furthermore, several redundant mechanisms may be involved in the regulation of dynein processivity in cells, and, thus, the effects of truncation of the microtubule-binding domain might not be immediately obvious if other putative mechanisms are in action. Second, previous studies (King and Schroer, 2000; Culver-Hanlon et al., 2006) were performed in vitro not with the native dynein–dynactin complex but with two proteins bound separately to the surface of carboxylated beads. It is unclear whether all of the properties of the dynein–dynactin complex on the surface of organelles can be faithfully recapitulated by the binding of purified proteins with highly charged beads. Finally, in vitro assays were performed under no load condition, and it is possible that the load applied to organelles in the cylasm affects the processivity of transport.

The second potential role of the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued was proposed by Vaughan et al. (2002; Vaughan, 2005a). These authors suggested that p150glued tethering to the plus ends of growing microtubules facilitates the loading of retrograde cargo on the plus ends of microtubules. This function would require the interaction of dynactin with microtubules. Obviously, the truncated form of p150glued, N-p150glued, could not load cargo onto microtubules. However, at least in the case of the two types of cargo we examined here, such a search and capture mechanism is not a major contributor to the retrograde transport by dynein because the truncation of microtubule binding from dynactin had no effect on cargo transport. In agreement with these results, Watson and Stephens (2006) showed that depletion of either EB1 or CLIP-170 resulted in a loss of p150glued from microtubule plus ends but had no effect on the trafficking of membrane organelles. It is likely that a combination of microtubule dynamics and a Brownian motion of cargo is sufficient for making initial contact and loading of cargo onto microtubules. Thus, microtubule plus end targeting of p150glued is not required for cargo loading. Still, it would be interesting to examine the effect of N-p150glued on cargo transport in the cellular regions containing single microtubules instead of cytochalasin D–induced microtubule bundles to detect the kinetic advantages of search and capture if they existed.( g1 G/ I( M6 Y7 W1 `' K( X

Finally, the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued interacts directly with the C terminus of CLIP-170 (Lansbergen et al., 2004) or EB1 (Askham et al., 2002; Hayashi et al., 2005). Dynactin has potential roles in regulating microtubule dynamics at the plus end complex and is required for microtubule anchoring and focusing in a cell cycle–dependent manner. It is likely that p150glued links proteins at the cell cortex with cylasmic dynein or tip-binding proteins to pull and focus microtubules, thus preventing the formation of multipolar spindles or free MTOCs during cell division. We observed a dramatic effect of truncation of the microtubule-binding domain on mitotic spindle structure, stressing the essential role of the N-terminal microtubule-binding domain of dynactin in microtubule organization. This supports the role of centrosomal dynactin for the microtubule anchoring function proposed by Quintyne et al. (1999). Collectively, our data demonstrate that the microtubule-binding domain of p150glued has a substantial role in spindle microtubule orientation and focusing but is not required for long-range movement of cargoes along microtubules by motor proteins in vivo.6 v% c; ?- |: i& H# E

The cDNA for Drosophila p150glued (clone AY118377; Open Biosystems) and the N-p150glued construct encoding amino acid residues 201–1,280 were amplified and subcloned into the pAc5.1/V5-HisA vector (Invitrogen). The EGFP or mRFP sequence was introduced at the N terminus of p150glued. To make His6-tagged p150glued, the sequence of p150glued encoding residues 1–600 or 200–600 was subcloned into pET28 (a ; Novagen/EMD Biosciences). The first coiled-coil domain (CC1; amino acids 232–583) of p150glued or full-length p50/dynamitin was fused to mRFP to create the dominant-negative constructs mRFP-CC1 and mRFP-p50 in the pMT5.1/V5-HisA vector.

Selection was performed for 4–5 wk, and protein expression was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy and immunoblotting. Lysosomes in S2 cells were labeled by staining with 100 nM Lysotracker red DND-99 (Invitrogen) for 10 min. For endosome labeling, S2 cells in suspension were incubated with 1 mg/ml Texas red dextran (Invitrogen) for 6 h.

Images of live cells were acquired as described previously (Ling et al., 2004) using a microscope system (U2000 Perfect Focus; Nikon). A 100-W halogen bulb was used for fluorescence excitation to minimize photobleaching and phototoxicity. Images were captured every 1 s for 2 min for EGFP-tagged peroxisomes, endosomes, and lysosomes and every 2 s for 2 min for EGFP-tagged dFMRP. The movement of particles was analyzed by using the automatic tracking software Diatrack (version 3.01; Semasopht). The threshold speed was 0.2 μm/s for peroxisomes, endosomes, and lysosomes or 0.15 μm/s for dFMRP particles, and movements slower than this threshold were excluded from the calculations. We measured all runs longer than 2 μm for peroxisomes, longer than 1.6 μm for endosomes and lysosomes, and longer than 1 μm for dFMRP particles. The number of runs above the threshold was divided by the mean number of particles in the analyzed areas of the image. This value was defined as the relative number of runs. At least three independent experiments were analyzed for each condition, and five to six cells in each experiment were randomly chosen for recording and analysis.6 R0 a; z) O- p' j/ A5 D% @
