25Insulin controls glucose uptake into muscle and fat cells by inducing a net redistribution of 26 GLUT4 from intracellular storage to the plasma membrane (PM). The TBC1D4-RAB10 signaling 27 module is required for insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation to the PM, although where it 28 intersects GLUT4 traffic was unknown. Here we demonstrate that TBC1D4-RAB10 functions to 29 control GLUT4 mobilization from a Trans Golgi Network (TGN) storage compartment, 30 establishing that insulin, in addition to regulating the PM proximal effects of GLUT4-containing 31 vesicles docking to and fusion with the PM, also directly regulates the behavior of GLUT4 32 deeper within the cell. We also show that GLUT4 is retained in an element/domain of the TGN 33 from which newly synthesized lysosomal proteins are targeted to the late endosomes and the 34 ATP7A copper transporter is translocated to the PM by elevated copper. Insulin does not 35 mobilize ATP7A nor does copper mobilize GLUT4. Consequently, GLUT4 intracellular 36 sequestration and mobilization by insulin is achieved, in part, through utilizing a region of the 37 TGN devoted to specialized cargo transport in general rather than being specific for GLUT4. 38Our results define GLUT4-containing region of the TGN as a sorting and storage site from which 39 different cargo are mobilized by distinct signals. 40 11) whose delivery to the PM is regulated by insulin (2). GLUT4 in the PM cycles back to the 51 TGN via the endosomal pathway (2, 12, 13). Targeting GLUT4 from endosomes to the TGN has 52 an important role in basal intracellular GLUT4 retention. Mutations in GLUT4 that disrupt its 53 traffic from endosomes to the TGN are poorly retained in basal conditions and are not properly 54 translocated to the PM upon insulin stimulation (6, 14-16). These results identify the TGN as the 55 site for formation of IRVs. The TGN is a main sorting compartment along the biosynthetic and 56 endocytic pathways. Cargoes to be targeted to distinct destinations are sorted and packaged 57 into the correct transport vesicles in the TGN. The relationship between the TGN containing 58 GLUT4 and the TGN involved in the traffic of other cargoes is not known (2, 6, 8, 12). 59Insulin signaling triggers multiple discrete molecular events that mediate efficient recruitment, 60 docking, and fusion of IRVs with the PM (17-19). These events lead to a decrease in the size of 61 the intracellular GLUT4 pool concomitant with an increase of GLUT4 in the PM. As GLUT4 in 62 the PM is in equilibrium with intracellular GLUT4, endocytosis of GLUT4 dynamically removes 63 GLUT4 from the PM. Thus, maintenance of the insulin-stimulated dynamic increase in GLUT4 64 in the PM requires the continual ferrying of GLUT4-containing IRVs to the PM. Insulin signaling 65 can add to the IRV pool by increasing the rate of GLUT4 mobilization from the TGN in nascent 66IRVs. Despite the biological importance, insulin regulation of GLUT4 trafficking at the 67 perinuclear region has not been thoroughly interrogated. 68A key aspect of insu...
