Abstract

The size and integrity of the Golgi apparatus is maintained via a tightly controlled regulation of membrane traffic using a variety of different signaling and cytoskeletal proteins. We have recently observed that activation of c-Src has profound effects on Golgi structure, leading to dramatically vesiculated cisternae in a variety of cell types. As the large GTPase dynamin (Dyn2) has been implicated in Golgi vesiculation during secretion, we tested whether inhibiting Dyn2 activity by expression of a Dyn2K44A mutant or siRNA knockdown could attenuate active Src-induced Golgi fragmentation. Indeed, these perturbations attenuated fragmentation, and expression of a Dyn2Y(231/597)F mutant protein that cannot be phosphorylated by Src kinase had a similar effect . Finally, we find that Dyn2 is markedly phosphorylated during the transit of VSV-G protein through the TGN whereas expression of the Dyn2Y(231/597)F mutant significantly reduces exit of the nascent protein from this compartment. These findings demonstrate that activation of Dyn2 by Src kinase regulates Golgi integrity and vesiculation during the secretory process.
