Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="tra12229-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p id="tra12229-para-0001">Physiologic Cu levels regulate the intracellular location of the Cu ATPase ATP7B. Here, we determined the routes of Cu‐directed trafficking of endogenous ATP7B in the polarized hepatic cell line WIF‐B and in the liver <italic>in vivo</italic>. Copper (10 µ<sc>m</sc>) caused ATP7B to exit the trans‐Golgi network (TGN) in vesicles, which trafficked via large basolateral endosomes to the apical domain within 1 h. Although perturbants of luminal acidification had little effect on the TGN localization of ATP7B in low Cu, they blocked delivery to the apical membrane in elevated Cu. If the vesicular proton‐pump inhibitor bafilomycin‐A1 (Baf) was present with Cu, ATP7B still exited the TGN, but accumulated in large endosomes located near the coverslip, in the basolateral region. Baf washout restored ATP7B trafficking to the apical domain. If ATP7B was staged apically in high Cu, Baf addition promoted the accumulation of ATP7B in subapical endosomes, indicating a blockade of apical recycling, with concomitant loss of ATP7B at the apical membrane. The retrograde pathway to the TGN, induced by Cu removal, was far less affected by Baf than the anterograde (Cu‐stimulated) case. Overall, loss of acidification‐impaired Cu‐regulated trafficking of ATP7B at two main sites: (i) sorting and exit from large basolateral endosomes and (ii) recycling via endosomes near the apical membrane.</p> <p> <inline-graphic xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2cqtvd0w" mimetype="image" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /> </p> </abstract>
