Separation and Characterization of Late Endosomal Membrane Domains

Abstract: Very little is known about the biophysical properties and the lipid or protein composition of membrane domains presumably present in endocytic and biosynthetic organelles. Here we analyzed the membrane composition of late endosomes by suborganellar fractionation in the absence of detergent. We found that the internal membranes of this multivesicular organelle can be separated from the limiting membrane and that each membrane population exhibited a defined composition. Our data also indicated that internal memb… Show more

“…DRM preparations selectively enrich for cholesterol-rich membranes comprised of plasma membrane DRMs and late endosomal DRMs [23]. In this study we show that deficiency of CLN3 protein results in less buoyant DRMs (Fig.…”

“…(Supplemental data for this article is available online at the American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology website.) The smeared appearance of the immunoblot signal reflects high glycosylation states of LAMP3 protein (16). On the other hand, the levels of GRP78, a marker of endoplasmic reticulum, were similar in the five cell lines.…”

“…However, we find that all endosomes that incorporated nanogold into newly formed lumenal vesicles in vitro also contained endocytosed EGF receptor and, conversely, that the EGF receptor is itself sorted into lumenal vesicles in a process controlled by the opposite actions of Alix and Tsg101, like HPTS incorporation. An alternative explanation comes from the observations that multivesicular endosomes contain more than one type of lumenal vesicles (Gillooly et al, 2000;Kobayashi et al, 2002;Sobo et al, 2007a), raising the possibility that some are involved in the transport of signaling receptors to the lysosomes, whereas others undergo fusion at the limiting membrane. If so, intralumenal mechanisms must control the fate of intralumenal vesicles, back-fusion or degradation, including perhaps LBPA via its effector Alix, because Alix knockdown inhibits back-fusion (Abrami et al, 2004;Le Blanc et al, 2005) but not EGF receptor degradation (Schmidt et al, 2004;Cabezas et al, 2005).…”
