Abstract
The intermediate conductance, Ca2+-activated K+ channel (KCa3.1) targets to the basolateral (BL) membrane in polarized epithelia where it plays a key role in transepithelial ion transport. However, there are no studies defining the anterograde and retrograde trafficking of KCa3.1 in polarized epithelia. Herein, we utilize

channel (KCa3.1) targets to the basolateral (BL) membrane in polarized epithelia where it plays a key role in transepithelial ion transport.

igase <underline>A</underline>
cceptor <underline>P</underline>
eptide (BLAP)-tagged KCa3.1 to address these trafficking steps in polarized epithelia, using MDCK, Caco-2 and FRT cells. We demonstrate that KCa3.1 is exclusively targeted to the BL membrane in these cells when grown on filter supports. Following endocytosis, KCa3.1 degradation is prevented by inhibition of lysosomal/proteosomal pathways. Further, the ubiquitylation of KCa3.1 is increased following endocytosis from the BL membrane and PR-619, a deubiquitylase inhibitor, prevents degradation, indicating KCa3.1 is targeted for degradation by ubiquitylation. We demonstrate that KCa3.1 is targeted to the BL membrane in polarized LLC-PK<sub>1</sub>
cells which lack the μ1B subunit of the AP-1 complex, indicating BL targeting of KCa3.1 is independent of μ1B. As Rabs 1, 2, 6 and 8 play roles in ER/Golgi exit and trafficking of proteins to the BL membrane, we evaluated the role of these Rabs in the trafficking of KCa3.1. In the presence of dominant negative Rab1 or Rab8, KCa3.1 cell surface expression was significantly reduced, whereas Rabs 2 and 6 had no effect. We also co-immunoprecipitated KCa3.1 with both Rab1 and Rab8. These results suggest these Rabs are necessary for the anterograde trafficking of KCa3.1. Finally, we determined whether KCa3.1 traffics directly to the BL membrane or through recycling endosomes in MDCK cells. For these studies, we used either recycling endosome ablation or dominant negative RME-1 constructs and determined that KCa3.1 is trafficked directly to the BL membrane rather than via recycling endosomes. These results are the first to describe the anterograde and retrograde trafficking of KCa3.1 in polarized epithelia cells.</p>

<abstract><p>The intermediate conductance, Ca<sup>2+</sup>
-activated K<sup>+</sup>
channel (KCa3.1) targets to the basolateral (BL) membrane in polarized epithelia where it plays a key role in transepithelial ion transport. However, there are no studies defining the anterograde and retrograde trafficking of KCa3.1 in polarized epithelia. Herein, we utilize <underline>B</underline>
iotin <underline>L</underline>
igase <underline>A</underline>
cceptor <underline>P</underline>
eptide (BLAP)-tagged KCa3.1 to address these trafficking steps in polarized epithelia, using MDCK, Caco-2 and FRT cells. We demonstrate that KCa3.1 is exclusively targeted to the BL membrane in these cells when grown on filter supports. Following endocytosis, KCa3.1 degradation is prevented by inhibition of lysosomal/proteosomal pathways. Further, the ubiquitylation of KCa3.1 is increased following endocytosis from the BL membrane and PR-619, a deubiquitylase inhibitor, prevents degradation, indicating KCa3.1 is targeted for degradation by ubiquitylation. We demonstrate that KCa3.1 is targeted to the BL membrane in polarized LLC-PK<sub>1</sub>
cells which lack the μ1B subunit of the AP-1 complex, indicating BL targeting of KCa3.1 is independent of μ1B. As Rabs 1, 2, 6 and 8 play roles in ER/Golgi exit and trafficking of proteins to the BL membrane, we evaluated the role of these Rabs in the trafficking of KCa3.1. In the presence of dominant negative Rab1 or Rab8, KCa3.1 cell surface expression was significantly reduced, whereas Rabs 2 and 6 had no effect. We also co-immunoprecipitated KCa3.1 with both Rab1 and Rab8. These results suggest these Rabs are necessary for the anterograde trafficking of KCa3.1. Finally, we determined whether KCa3.1 traffics directly to the BL membrane or through recycling endosomes in MDCK cells. For these studies, we used either recycling endosome ablation or dominant negative RME-1 constructs and determined that KCa3.1 is trafficked directly to the BL membrane rather than via recycling endosomes. These results are the first to describe the anterograde and retrograde trafficking of KCa3.1 in polarized epithelia cells.</p>

<p>In various epithelia, including colonic, airway and salivary epithelia, agonist-mediated activation of Ca<sup>2+</sup>
-dependent K<sup>+</sup>
channels (KCa) is known to play a key role in the regulation of transepithelial ion and water transport. Thus, transepithelial Cl<sup>−</sup>
secretion requires activation of numerous transporters/channels, including the Na<sup>+</sup>
/K<sup>+</sup>
-ATPase on the basolateral (BL) membrane to maintain transmembrane ionic gradients. Also, activation of the BL membrane Na<sup>+</sup>
-K<sup>+</sup>
-2Cl<sup>−</sup>
cotransporter allows Cl<sup>−</sup>
to accumulate above its electrochemical equilibrium. Activation of an apical membrane Cl<sup>−</sup>
channel allows Cl<sup>−</sup>
to move down its equilibrium potential. Finally, activation of BL membrane K<sup>+</sup>
channels maintains a membrane potential favorable for the continuous Cl<sup>−</sup>
efflux across the apical membrane, while also recycling K<sup>+</sup>
taken up by Na<sup>+</sup>
-K<sup>+</sup>
-2Cl<sup>−</sup>
cotransporter and the Na<sup>+</sup>
/K<sup>+</sup>
-ATPase. We previously characterized the KCa in colonic epithelia using both whole-cell <xref rid="pone.0092013-Devor1" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref>
and single channel <xref rid="pone.0092013-Devor2" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>
methods and later confirmed this was KCa3.1 <xref rid="pone.0092013-Gerlach1" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>
following its molecular cloning <xref rid="pone.0092013-Ishii1" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Joiner1" ref-type="bibr">[5]</xref>
. It is now well-recognized that KCa3.1 is a major BL K<sup>+</sup>
channel critical for maintenance of the electrochemical driving force for Ca<sup>2+</sup>
-mediated Cl<sup>−</sup>
secretion across these epithelia <xref rid="pone.0092013-Devor3" ref-type="bibr">[6]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Rufo1" ref-type="bibr">[7]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Devor4" ref-type="bibr">[8]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Warth1" ref-type="bibr">[9]</xref>
. Given the critical role of KCa3.1 in maintaining transepithelial ion and fluid transport, it is not surprising that this channel has been suggested to play a role in the etiology of various diseases. Indeed, KCa3.1 has been implicated in Crohn's disease <xref rid="pone.0092013-Simms1" ref-type="bibr">[10]</xref>
, ulcerative colitis <xref rid="pone.0092013-AlHazza1" ref-type="bibr">[11]</xref>
, cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease <xref rid="pone.0092013-Singh1" ref-type="bibr">[12]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Devor5" ref-type="bibr">[13]</xref>
and ADPKD cyst formation <xref rid="pone.0092013-Albaqumi1" ref-type="bibr">[14]</xref>
.</p>
<p>Clearly, a key component dictating the physiological response of an epithelial cell to an increase in Ca<sup>2+</sup>
is the number of KCa3.1 channels at the plasma membrane. We <xref rid="pone.0092013-Jones1" ref-type="bibr">[15]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Jones2" ref-type="bibr">[16]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Gao1" ref-type="bibr">[17]</xref>
and others <xref rid="pone.0092013-Joiner2" ref-type="bibr">[18]</xref>
have identified molecular motifs within the N- and C-termini, as well as the transmembrane domains, that are critical in the assembly and anterograde trafficking of KCa3.1. Utilizing a <underline>B</underline>
iotin <underline>L</underline>
igase <underline>A</underline>
cceptor <underline>P</underline>
eptide (BLAP)-tagged KCa3.1 we demonstrated, in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells and human microvascular endothelial (HMEC-1) cells, that KCa3.1 is endocytosed from the plasma membrane and targeted to the lysosome via an endosomal complex required for transport (ESCRT)- and Rab7-dependent pathway <xref rid="pone.0092013-Balut1" ref-type="bibr">[19]</xref>
. Further, we demonstrated that KCa3.1 is initially ubiquitylated following endocytosis and then deubiquitylated by USP8 prior to lysosomal degradation <xref rid="pone.0092013-Balut2" ref-type="bibr">[20]</xref>
. Schwab and colleagues <xref rid="pone.0092013-Schwab1" ref-type="bibr">[21]</xref>
have also demonstrated that KCa3.1 is endogenously expressed in MDCK cells and that it is endocytosed in a clathrin-dependent manner in non-polarized, migrating cells.</p>
<p>In contrast to the studies above, there is little information regarding the anterograde and retrograde trafficking of KCa3.1 in polarized epithelia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the trafficking of KCa3.1 in polarized epithelia. Herein, we demonstrate that KCa3.1 is expressed solely at the BL membrane in the model polarized epithelial cell lines, MDCK, Caco-2, FRT and LLC-PK<sub>1</sub>
, indicating this localization is independent of the adaptor protein, μ1B. In polarized cells, KCa3.1 is ubiquitylated at the BL membrane and this is increased following endocytosis after which the channel is targeted for protosomal and lysosomal degradation. We further demonstrate that Rab1 and Rab8 are critical for ER/Golgi exit and subsequent plasma membrane expression of KCa3.1. Finally, we demonstrate that, following Golgi exit, KCa3.1 does not traffic through either RME-1- or transferrin receptor (TfnR)-positive recycling endosomes on the way to the plasma membrane in polarized epithelia, suggesting KCa3.1 traffics directly to the plasma membrane. These results are the first to characterize the anterograde and retrograde trafficking of KCa3.1 in polarized epithelia cells.</p>

Cells were then washed twice on ice-cold PBS. Surface-bound Tfn-HRP and Tfn-alexa488 were removed by two 5 min washes in 0.15 M NaCl plus 20 mM citric acid, pH 5.0. After washes with ice-cold PBS, the cells were incubated in PBS containing 0.1 mg/ml diaminobenzidine (DAB; Sigma-Aldrich) in the absence (control) or presence (ablation) of H<sub>2</sub>

O<sub>2</sub>
forming an insoluble precipitate that prevents the fusion of post-Golgi vesicles with the recycling endosome. The ablation reaction was stopped by washing cells twice in PBS with 1% BSA. Following recycling endosome ablation, neutravidin biotin binding protein (600 μg/ml) (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) was added to the control and ablated cells for 2 hrs at 4°C such that all plasma membrane localized BLAP-KCa3.1 channels would be bound and “blocked” from binding to subsequently added streptavidin.

Thus, we co-transfected HA-tagged KCa3.1 with either Flag-tagged Rab1 or GFP-tagged Rab8 in to HEK293 cells and immunoprecipitated with α-HA antibody followed by IB for the appropriate heterologously expressed Rab.

<p>If the expression of a DN Rab is slowing the exit of KCa3.1 from the ER/Golgi this should be apparent as a decreased rate of trafficking to the plasma membrane. Our method for defining this step is shown by IF in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g006">Fig. 6A</xref>
. For these studies, we expressed BirA-KDEL/BLAP-KCa3.1 in HEK293 cells. Expression of BLAP-KCa3.1 at the plasma membrane is confirmed by streptavidin-Alexa488 labeling (T = 0 at 4°C). Immediately labeling with streptavidin-Alexa555 results in no signal (T = 0 at 4°C; Strep-555), confirming that the biotin sites on KCa3.1 are saturated or “blocked” by streptavidin-Alexa488 binding. The cells are then incubated at 19°C for 2 hrs to accumulate BLAP-KCa3.1 in the ER/Golgi (T = 2 hrs at 19°C). As is apparent, some of the streptavidin-Alexa488 channel has been endocytosed during this 19°C incubation step, however, no additional channel has trafficked to the plasma membrane as assessed by the lack of streptavidin-Alexa555 labeling. Following incubation of the cells at 37°C for 80 min, we observed small green puncta inside the cell consistent with endocytosis of plasma membrane KCa3.1. In addition, new channels have trafficked to the plasma membrane from the ER/Golgi such that they can be “captured” as is apparent by our ability to label these newly arrived channels with streptavidin-Alexa555. To quantify this rate, we utilized neutravidin to “block” existing BLAP-KCa3.1 channels at the plasma membrane and “captured” newly arrived channels with streptavidin followed by IB, as above. The amount of channel “captured” at any time point was then compared to the amount of channel present at T = 0, which represents steady-state expression levels. Any signal left following “block” was subtracted from all subsequent time points as this represented the amount of channel that could not be bound by neutravidin. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g006">Fig. 6B</xref>
, KCa3.1 rapidly exits the ER/Golgi and begins to appear at the plasma membrane within 10 min and the level of channel expression continues to increase over time. In the presence of WT Rab1 or Rab8 after 2 hrs at 37°C expression levels of KCa3.l at the plasma membrane had returned to 54±7% and 46±5% of those seen at T = 0, respectively. In contrast, in the presence of DN Rab1 and Rab8 this was only 28±7 (n = 3; P<0.05) and 27±4% (n = 3; P<0.05), respectively, indicating that expression of DN Rab1 and Rab8 decreases the rate of KCa3.1 trafficking from the ER/Golgi to the plasma membrane.</p>

plasmid such that BLAP-KCa3.1 is specifically biotinylated at the level of the ER (see Methods). <bold>Top row</bold>
: Plasma membrane BLAP-KCa3.1 was labeled with strepatavidin-Alexa488 (left; green) and subsequently with streptavidin-Alexa555 (middle; red). As is apparent, strep-488 saturated the biotin binding sites, precluding strep-555 labeling; demonstrating block of existing plasma membrane localized KCa3.1 channels. <bold>Middle row</bold>
: Following 2 hrs at 19°C to accumulate KCa3.1 in the Golgi, some of the channels initially labeled at the plasma membrane (strep-488) have been endocytosed. Labeling with strep-555 demonstrates that no new channels have trafficked to the plasma membrane during this 19°C incubation, as expected. <bold>Bottom row</bold>
: Further incubation at 37°C for 80 min results in endocytosis of KCa3.1 channels initially labeled with strep-488 at T = 0. Labeling with strep-555 demonstrates that new KCa3.1 channels have appeared at the plasma membrane, consistent with trafficking out of the Golgi. Nuclei are labeled with DAPI (blue). <bold>B</bold>
. Experiments were carried out as illustrated in A except that blocking of existing plasma membrane KCa3.1 was carried out using neutravidin. As shown in lane 2 for each blot, neutravidin eliminated greater than 90% of the labeling attributed to streptavidin binding to plasma membrane BLAP-KCa3.1. Within 10 min incubation at 37°C, KCa3.1 begins to appear at the plasma membrane following ER/Golgi exit. After 2 hrs, KCa3.1 has recovered ∼50% relative to T = 0 in the presence of WT Rab1 and Rab8, whereas this is decreased to ∼27% in the presence of DN Rab1 and Rab8. 30 μg of protein was loaded per lane. The average of 3 experiments is shown in the bar graphs. The solid bars indicate expression of KCa3.1 in the presence of WT Rab while the open bars show expression of KCa3.1 in the presence of DN Rab (* P<0.05 with respect to same period of time with WT Rab). “<” indicates a non-specific band. These results indicate that DN Rab1 and Rab8 slow exit of KCa3.1 from the ER/Golgi resulting in decreased plasma membrane expression as suggested in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g004">Fig. 4</xref>

<p>We further determined whether Rabs 1 and 8 are involved in the trafficking of KCa3.1 to the plasma membrane in polarized MDCK and FRT cells. Initially, we carried out IF studies by transducing BirA-KDEL/BLAP-KCa3.1 and transfecting either WT or DN Flag-Rab1 or GFP-Rab8. BLAP-KCa3.1 was labeled at the plasma membrane with streptavidin-Alexa555 and Flag-Rab1 was labeled with α-Flag Ab following fixation/permeabilization; GFP-Rab8 was directly visualized.

, expression of either DN Rab1 (N124I) or Rab8 (T22N) resulted in an apparent decrease in plasma membrane expression of KCa3.1. To confirm this result biochemically, we carried out IB of plasma membrane BLAP-KCa3.1. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g007">Figs. 7B and C</xref>
, both DN Rab1 and Rab8 resulted in a significant decrease in plasma membrane expression of KCa3.1 in both MDCK and FRT cells.

Initially, both Tfn-HRP and Tfn-Alexa488 were bound to TfnR and allowed to internalize for 45 min at 37°C, thereby allowing the TfnR with bound substrate to traffic through early and recycling endosomes. Subsequently, BLAP-KCa3.1 was labeled with either streptavidin-Alexa555, to confirm expression of the channel at the plasma membrane at T = 0, or neutravidin to “Block” plasma membrane resident channels (see also, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g006">Fig. 6</xref>
). As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g009">Fig. 9</xref>
, at T = 0 Tfn-Alexa488 was located in endosomal compartments, as is apparent from the green puncta, whereas KCa3.1 is localized to the plasma membrane. Next, recycling endosome ablation was carried out by treating the cells with DAB, in the absence (control) or presence (ablation) of H<sub>2</sub>

As is apparent in the images labeled “Block”, in the absence of DAB the Tfn-Alexa488 is located in vesicles throughout the cytoplasm, whereas in the presence of DAB the Tfn-Alexa488 is localized exclusively to perinuclear recycling endosomes, as reported <xref rid="pone.0092013-Ang1" ref-type="bibr">[29]</xref>
. These results confirm recycling endosome ablation such that TfnR can no longer exit from these vesicles. Also, BLAP-KCa3.1 could not be labeled by streptavidin-Alexa555, confirming “Block” by neutravidin. Finally, the cells were returned to 37°C for 2 hrs in the presence of cyclohexamide such that KCa3.1 could exit the Golgi and traffic to the plasma membrane after which these channels were labeled with streptavidin-Alexa555. As shown (Block +2 hrs 37°C), KCa3.1 trafficked to the plasma membrane in both the control and recycling endosome ablated cells, consistent with KCa3.1 trafficking directly to the plasma membrane rather than via the TfnR-positive recycling endosomes.</p>

Plasma membrane BLAP-KCa3.1 was then labeled with streptavidin-Alexa555 (red). This is shown in the left panel (T = 0) and confirms that under these conditions we are able to label both TfnR and KCa3.1 in confluent MDCK cells. To determine whether KCa3.1 traffics to the plasma membrane via TfnR-positive recycling endosomes, we labeled the TfnR as above and blocked plasma membrane BLAP-KCa3.1 with neutravidin. Subsequently, recycling endosome ablation was carried out by reacting the Tfn-HRP with H<sub>2</sub>
O<sub>2</sub>
+ DAB (DAB was omitted as a non-ablation control) and ER/Golgi exit allowed to proceed for 2 hrs at 37°C after which KCa3.1 that was newly trafficked to the plasma membrane was labeled with strep-555 (see Methods and Results sections for additional details). As shown in the T = 0 panel and the no DAB control (top right panels), Tfn-488 is expressed in endosomes throughout the cytoplasm as it recycles to the plasma membrane, as expected. However, following DAB-dependent ablation, Tfn-488 is clustered in the recycling endosomes as evidenced by their perinuclear localization; confirming recycling endosome ablation resulting in inhibition of TfnR trafficking back to the plasma membrane. Importantly, in both ablated and non-ablated cells, BLAP-KCa3.1 traffics to the plasma membrane demonstrating that KCa3.1 does not traffic through TfnR-positive recycling endosomes on the way to the plasma membrane.

<p>As an alternate strategy to disrupt recycling endosomes we co-expressed either WT or DN RME-1 (G429R) with BLAP-KCa3.1.

Following incubation at 19°C to accumulate KCa3.1 in the Golgi, we were unable to detect KCa3.1 in the plasma membrane (Block+19°C), as above (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g006">Figs. 6</xref>

As is apparent, in both WT and DN RME-1-expressing MDCK cells, KCa3.1 trafficked to the plasma membrane. We confirmed this result by IB by determining whether the rate of KCa3.1 appearance at the plasma membrane was altered by DN RME-1 expression. As shown <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g010">Figs. 10B and C</xref>
, blocking with neutravidin eliminated the signal associated with plasma membrane KCa3.1. After Golgi release at 37°C for 20 min KCa3.1 is clearly apparent at the plasma membrane and this expression increases after 2 hrs. Importantly, similar levels of KCa3.1 were expressed at the plasma membrane in MDCK cells expressing either WT or G429R RME-1. In 3 experiments, after 2 hrs at 37°C there was no difference in expression of KCa3.1 at the plasma membrane, being 66±11% of control (T = 0) in WT RME-1 expressing cells and 62±6% of control (T = 0) in G429R RME-1 expressing cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g010">Fig. 10C</xref>

Note that in cells not expressing the DN RME-1, Tfn-546 is localized throughout the cytoplasm similar to what is observed with WT RME-1 expression. These results demonstrate that, in contrast to KCa3.1, the TfnR traffics through RME-1-positive recycling endosomes.</p>

</fig>
<p>Finally, we determined whether TfnR would be trapped in RME-1-positive endosomes by transducing MDCK cells with TfnR followed by transfection with either WT or DN GFP-tagged RME-1. TfnR was bound to Tfn-Alexa546 and allowed to endocytose for 45 min at 37°C, after which the cells were fixed for IF localization. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g010">Fig. 10D</xref>
, in the presence of WT RME-1, the TfnR is in endosomes throughout the cytoplasm. However, in the presence of DN RME-1, the TfnR is clustered in the RME-1-positive compartment. This result confirms that DN RME-1 is capable of trapping proteins that traffic via recycling endosomes.</p>

<sec id="s4"><title>Discussion</title>
<p>It is now clear, based on both electrophysiological and pharmacological data, that KCa3.1 is expressed in the BL membrane of numerous epithelia <xref rid="pone.0092013-Devor3" ref-type="bibr">[6]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Rufo1" ref-type="bibr">[7]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Devor4" ref-type="bibr">[8]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Warth1" ref-type="bibr">[9]</xref>
. However, more recent evidence has demonstrated K<sup>+</sup>
secretion in both primary cultures of human bronchial epithelium <xref rid="pone.0092013-Singh1" ref-type="bibr">[12]</xref>
and proximal colon <xref rid="pone.0092013-Joiner3" ref-type="bibr">[39]</xref>
that is sensitive to block by apical charybdotoxin and clotrimazole; indicative of KCa3.1 channels in the apical membrane. Based on these data, Rajendran and colleagues <xref rid="pone.0092013-Barmeyer1" ref-type="bibr">[40]</xref>
identified a unique transcript, KCNN4c, that lacks exon 2 which encodes for the second transmembrane domain of KCa3.1. These authors demonstrated that this channel targeted to the apical membrane when co-assembled with the large conductance, Ca<sup>2+</sup>
-activated K<sup>+</sup>
channel β-subunit <xref rid="pone.0092013-Barmeyer1" ref-type="bibr">[40]</xref>
. While these data demonstrate that KCa3.1 can be targeted to either the apical or BL membrane of polarized epithelia, depending on the transcript expressed, there is no information to date demonstrating how this channel is targeted to the BL membrane or its' endocytic fate once it is in the BL membrane. Herein, we have used the BLAP-tagged KCa3.1 to begin to address these questions. We demonstrate that KCa3.1-BLAP is highly expressed at the BL membrane with insignificant expression in the apical membrane of three different polarized epithelial cell models, MDCK, Caco-2 and FRT (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g001">Fig. 1A</xref>
). Similar to what we previously reported in HEK293 cells <xref rid="pone.0092013-Gao2" ref-type="bibr">[22]</xref>
, KCa3.1 was degraded with a half-time of ∼3-5 hrs in MDCK and FRT cells. However, in Caco-2 cells the half-time for degradation was significantly longer, being ∼16 hrs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g001">Fig. 1B</xref>
). At present it is unclear why the degradation of KCa3.1 is slowed in Caco-2 cells. While this may suggest that KCa3.1 degradation is uniquely regulated in intestinal epithelia, more studies are required to determine this.</p>
<p>We demonstrate that, following endocytosis from the BL membrane of polarized epithelia, degradation is blocked by inhibiting lysosomal proteases (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g002">Fig. 2</xref>
); similar to what we previously reported in HEK293 cells <xref rid="pone.0092013-Balut1" ref-type="bibr">[19]</xref>
. While we have demonstrated a role for p97/Derlin-1 and the proteasome in the degradation of mis-folded KCa3.1 channels in the ER <xref rid="pone.0092013-Gao1" ref-type="bibr">[17]</xref>
a role for the proteasome in the degradation of KCa3.1 following endocytosis has not been investigated. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g002">Fig. 2</xref>
, lactacystin inhibited KCa3.1 degradation, indicative of a role for the 26 S proteasome in targeting KCa3.1 to the lysosome for degradation. Numerous studies have shown that the degradation of membrane resident proteins is also blocked by inhibitors of the proteasome <xref rid="pone.0092013-Staub1" ref-type="bibr">[41]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Jeffers1" ref-type="bibr">[42]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-GalchevaGargova1" ref-type="bibr">[43]</xref>
. In this regard, it has been suggested that the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is involved in the endosomal sorting step of some proteins to the lysosome <xref rid="pone.0092013-vanKerkhof1" ref-type="bibr">[44]</xref>
. More recently, it was shown that Ecm29 binds the 26 S proteasome and links the proteasome to various endocytic proteins, including Rab11 and rabaptin via its N-terminal end and molecular motors via its C-terminal end <xref rid="pone.0092013-Gorbea1" ref-type="bibr">[45]</xref>
. Also, proteasomal inhibition by MG132 for 20 hrs caused redistribution of the endosomal adaptor protein, APPL1 as well as the early endosomal marker, Rab5 to the perinuclear region of cells, whereas the early endosomal marker, EEA1 was unaffected <xref rid="pone.0092013-Pilecka1" ref-type="bibr">[46]</xref>
. Thus, the 26 S proteasome may be directly coupled to KCa3.1-containing endosomes, thereby influencing its' degradation.</p>
<p>To date, more than 60 Rabs have been identified and it is thought that each Rab is related with a particular organelle or pathway <xref rid="pone.0092013-Martinez1" ref-type="bibr">[32]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Hutagalung1" ref-type="bibr">[47]</xref>
. Rab 2 has been shown to be predominantly localized to the ER/Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) where it is involved in the retrograde transport from the ERGIC to the ER <xref rid="pone.0092013-Tisdale1" ref-type="bibr">[48]</xref>
. Rab 6 is mainly localized to the Golgi and the trans-Golgi network (TGN) where it modulates the retrograde transport between the Golgi cisternae or from the Golgi to the ER <xref rid="pone.0092013-Dong1" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>
. Expression of DN Rab 2 and Rab 6 have been shown to inhibit the anterograde transport of numerous proteins, including the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) <xref rid="pone.0092013-Tisdale1" ref-type="bibr">[48]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Yoo1" ref-type="bibr">[49]</xref>
. Also, Rab 1 is localized in the ER and the Golgi where it regulates anterograde transport from the ER to the Golgi and among the Golgi compartments <xref rid="pone.0092013-Martinez1" ref-type="bibr">[32]</xref>
. The manipulation of Rab1 function has been shown to block the ER to cell surface transport of α-adrenergic, angiotensin II type 1 and human calcium sensing receptors <xref rid="pone.0092013-Wu1" ref-type="bibr">[50]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Filipeanu1" ref-type="bibr">[51]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Zhuang1" ref-type="bibr">[52]</xref>
. Finally, Rab 8 and Rab 10 have been extensively investigated in polarized epithelial cells where they have been shown to play a role in protein trafficking from the Golgi to the BL membrane <xref rid="pone.0092013-Dong2" ref-type="bibr">[27]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Babbey1" ref-type="bibr">[33]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Ang2" ref-type="bibr">[53]</xref>
. Herein, we demonstrate that Rab1 and Rab8 play a crucial role in the anterograde trafficking of KCa3.1 to the BL membrane of polarized MDCK cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g007">Fig. 7</xref>
), whereas Rabs 2, 6 and 10 appear to play no role in KCa3.1 trafficking. Indeed, we demonstrate that expression of DN Rab1 or Rab 8 slowed the appearance of KCa3.1 to the plasma membrane in HEK cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g006">Fig. 6</xref>
), consistent with their known roles in the forward trafficking of various proteins <xref rid="pone.0092013-Dong2" ref-type="bibr">[27]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Wu1" ref-type="bibr">[50]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Filipeanu1" ref-type="bibr">[51]</xref>
. Interestingly, a closely related family member, KCa2.3 was unaffected by expression of DN forms of any of these Rabs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g004">Fig. 4D</xref>
), indicating a high degree of specificity amongst these KCa family members. Unfortunately, chimeras between KCa3.1 and KCa2.3 did not reveal any apparent domains critical for this Rab-dependent trafficking of KCa3.1 (C.A. Bertuccio and D.C. Devor, unpublished observations).</p>
<p>GPCR have been shown to directly interact with members of the Rab family, including Rab1 and Rab8 which interact with β<sub>2</sub>
- and α<sub>2</sub>
- adrenergic receptors <xref rid="pone.0092013-Dong2" ref-type="bibr">[27]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Hammad1" ref-type="bibr">[54]</xref>
. Herein, we demonstrate a close association between KCa3.1 and WT or DN Rab1 and Rab8 by co-IP (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g005">Fig. 5</xref>
). Interestingly, KCa3.1 preferentially associates with the inactive, GDP-bound form of Rab1 and Rab8, similar to what has been described for some GPCR <xref rid="pone.0092013-Dong2" ref-type="bibr">[27]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Hammad1" ref-type="bibr">[54]</xref>
. Indeed, it has been suggested that these receptors can interact with and activate Rab GTPases, thus facilitating their own transport <xref rid="pone.0092013-Dong2" ref-type="bibr">[27]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Seachrist1" ref-type="bibr">[55]</xref>
, although this is not known for KCa3.1.</p>
<p>Sorting of numerous proteins to the BL domain of polarized epithelia is the result of an association with the μ1 subunit of the adaptor protein-1 complex (AP-1) <xref rid="pone.0092013-Muth1" ref-type="bibr">[56]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Ohno1" ref-type="bibr">[57]</xref>
. The AP-1 complex is the only clathrin-associated adaptor complex implicated in BL sorting in polarized epithelia <xref rid="pone.0092013-Futter1" ref-type="bibr">[58]</xref>
. Importantly, while μ1B is expressed in MDCK and Caco-2 cells it is not expressed in LLC-PK<sub>1</sub>
cells. Lack of the μ1B subunit in LLC-PK<sub>1</sub>
cells has been shown to result in the mistargeting of some BL proteins to the apical surface and stable expression of μ1B restores proper BL targeting <xref rid="pone.0092013-Flsch1" ref-type="bibr">[35]</xref>
. In addition, Ang et al. demonstrated that Rab8 acts in conjunction with AP-1B to target proteins to the BL membrane of polarized epithelia <xref rid="pone.0092013-Ang2" ref-type="bibr">[53]</xref>
. Since KCa3.1 is endogenously expressed in MDCK cells <xref rid="pone.0092013-Wulf1" ref-type="bibr">[59]</xref>
, is endocytosed in a clathrin-dependent manner <xref rid="pone.0092013-Schwab1" ref-type="bibr">[21]</xref>
and its plasma membrane expression is modulated by Rab8 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g004">Figs. 4</xref>
and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g007">7</xref>
), we evaluated whether μ1B was required for BL targeting of KCa3.1 using both LLC-PK<sub>1</sub>
-WT and μ1B-expressing LLC-PK<sub>1</sub>
cells. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g008">Fig. 8</xref>
, KCa3.1 was targeted to the BL membrane in both WT and μ1B-expressing LLC-PK<sub>1</sub>
cells, indicating that the BL sorting of KCa3.1 in polarized epithelia is independent of the μ1B subunit of the AP-1 complex. Similarly, Caplan and colleagues demonstrated that the sorting of the H<sup>+</sup>
/K<sup>+</sup>
-ATPase and Na<sup>+</sup>
/K<sup>+</sup>
-ATPase were independent of μ1B expression in polarized epithelia <xref rid="pone.0092013-Duffield1" ref-type="bibr">[28]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Farr1" ref-type="bibr">[60]</xref>
.</p>
<p>As noted, proteins trafficking to the plasma membrane along the biosynthetic route, in both polarized and non-polarized cells, can either traffic directly from the Golgi to the plasma membrane or they can transit via recycling endosomes <xref rid="pone.0092013-Ang1" ref-type="bibr">[29]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Martinez1" ref-type="bibr">[32]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Orzech1" ref-type="bibr">[37]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Griffiths1" ref-type="bibr">[61]</xref>
, <xref rid="pone.0092013-Futter2" ref-type="bibr">[62]</xref>
. To determine whether KCa3.1 traffics through recycling endosomes before arriving at the plasma membrane, we monitored KCa3.1 appearance at the plasma membrane using two separate strategies. First, we carried out recycling endosome ablation using Tfn-HRP which resulted in the TfnR being trapped in a perinuclear compartment (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g009">Fig. 9</xref>
) <xref rid="pone.0092013-Ang1" ref-type="bibr">[29]</xref>
. However, KCa3.1 trafficked to the BL membrane, indicating this channel does not traffic through TfnR-positive recycling endosomes. Second, we utilized a DN RME-1 approach to disrupt recycling endosomes. Lin et al. <xref rid="pone.0092013-Lin1" ref-type="bibr">[38]</xref>
showed that a mutation in the epsin homology domain (G429R) induced redistribution of recycling endosomes and inhibits the exit of proteins from this compartment. We demonstrated that, following endocytosis, KCa2.3 is targeted to this RME-1-positive compartment, whereas KCa3.1 was not <xref rid="pone.0092013-Gao2" ref-type="bibr">[22]</xref>
. In <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g010">Fig. 10</xref>
, we show that KCa3.1 is similarly not targeted to recycling endosomes following Golgi exit along the biosynthetic route. Indeed, we demonstrate that the rate of KCa3.1 appearance at the plasma membrane is not altered by DN RME-1 expression (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0092013-g010">Fig. 10B</xref>
), suggesting no alteration in the rate of delivery. Thus, using two separate methods of disrupting the recycling endosome compartment demonstrates that KCa3.1 does not traffic through this compartment along the biosynthetic route.</p>
<p>The regulated trafficking of proteins to the BL membrane is an important process that controls the amount of protein at the cell surface and thereby modulates their function. Herein, we demonstrate that KCa3.1 is targeted to the BL membrane of polarized epithelia in a Rab1- and Rab8-dependent manner. However, following Golgi exit the correct BL targeting of KCa3.1 is independent of the AP-1B complex. In addition, we demonstrate that the trafficking itinerary of the newly synthesized KCa3.1 channels does not involve passage through the recycling endosome compartment. Finally, following correct insertion in to the BL membrane, KCa3.1 is endocytosed and targeted for lysosomal degradation in a process that requires initial ubiquitylation followed by de-ubiquitylation. Inhibition of this process by lactacystin indicates that proteasomes are functionally associated with KCa3.1-containing endosomes.</p>
