Until recently, it was considered that lumenal proteins lacking a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor would not have a sufficiently strong interaction with secretory pathway membranes to be recovered in a Triton X-100-insoluble lipid raft fraction. These authors were the first to demonstrate that a lumenal, membrane-associated secretory protein could indeed be recovered in the lipid raft fraction. It is important to note that because the starting material used for the analysis was purified secretory granule membranes, most of the lumenal carboxypeptidase E of the granule is likely to have already been removed during the preparation of the starting material. Thus, it remains unclear what fraction of total granule carboxypeptidase E is actually associated with lipid rafts. Nevertheless, of the subfraction purified with secretory granule membranes, a major portion appears to be associated with lipid rafts. These points are similarly applicable to Blazquez et al. [13,14] .

Regulated secretory proteins exhibit conditionally dependent protein multimerization. In the case of proinsulin, endoproteolytic cleavage to insulin is required to make a protein species that efficiently polymerizes. This study shows a strong correlation between the conversion to insulin from proinsulin and the efficiency of its storage in the secretory granules of a heterologous cell line.

J Biol Chem. 276:2001;715-721. Lubrol insolubility of intragranule prolactin-dense cores has been known for decades. However, in light of recent findings indicating that some regulated secretory proteins may also associate with the lumenal leaflet of the granule membrane (see Dhanvantari and Loh [2000] [15••] ), it remains open whether lubrol insolubility, as used in this study, reflects only protein-protein interactions involving proteins of the granule dense core. It may, in part, reflect protein interactions with granule membrane remnants after extraction with the non-ionic detergent.

Megavesicles implicated in the rapid transport of intracisternal aggregates across the Golgi stack. Cell. 102:2000;335-348. When conjoined to repeats of an oligomerization domain that allow for multimerization of a properly folded growth hormone fusion protein within the ER, the multimerized polypeptide hormone is unable to undergo anterograde transport unless the multimers are first dissociated in the presence of a small molecular weight, membrane-permeant ligand that binds specifically to the oligomerization domain (see Rivera et al. [2000] [32] ). A complicated combination of 15°C temperature block in conjunction with brief exposure to the membrane-permeant ligand (to accumulate some growth hormone fusion protein in the intermediate compartment) was carried out. This was followed by washout of the ligand to facilitate re-polymerization, and temperature-block reversal. As a result, some of the fusion protein advanced through the secretory pathway. An interesting electron microscopic analysis reportedly recovers 15-20% of protein aggregates, assessed by morphological criteria, in 'megavesicles'. However, the actual fraction of secretory protein that might be conveyed anterograde by megavesicles is difficult to say with precision from these studies. Additional co-localization of a range of Golgi-resident proteins with megavesicles might also shed further light on the origin and fate of these unusual compartments.

Small cargo proteins and large aggregates can traverse the Golgi by a common mechanism without leaving the lumen of cisternae. J Cell Biol. 155:2001;1225-1238. This paper seemingly refutes the notion that megavesicles are required for rapid transit of unusually large lumenal cargo through the Golgi stack (see Volchuk et al. 2000 [28••] ). Given that some regulated secretory proteins begin to polymerize at sites before arrival in immature secretory granules (reviewed in Arvan and Castle 1998 [36] ), the finding that Golgi cistermae can readily accommodate large lumenal cargo speaks to a process of continuous maturation of the secretory containers throughout their advance from Golgi to secretory granule (see Clermont et al. [1992] [47] ).

Several previous studies had suggested biosynthetic trafficking of membrane proteins to the cell surface only after initial delivery to endosomes, but this is the first report providing evidence to support an immature secretory granule-to-endosome-to-surface route for some lumenal proteins.

Biochem Soc Trans. 29:2001;461-467. These elegant high-voltage electron microscopy studies provide independent support for several conclusions described earlier by Rambourg and colleagues in their morphological analyses of regulated secretory cells. Unfortunately, the HIT-T15 cell line does not produce large numbers of insulin secretory granules. High-voltage analyses of islet β cells are therefore still needed.

Mol Biol Cell. 12:2001;1353-1365. These authors find that fluorescent immature secretory granules (ISGs) newly formed in the Golgi region rapidly relocate along microtubule tracks to the subplasmalemmal cortex of PC12 cells (which normally have a very high fraction of granules pre-docked at the plasmalemma). Here, the ISGs mature, as measured by progressive loss of furin signal. It is important to note that other endocrine cells such as insulin-secreting pancreatic β cells tend to have a considerably smaller fraction of docked granules, and during ongoing secretory stimulation such cells continuously recruit granules from the cell interior to the surface for docking and exocytotic fusion.

Diabetologia. 43:2000;1157-1164. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its variants are of great value as reporters for protein localization studies. In this paper, the authors find that one form of GFP not only enters insulin secretory granules, it also appears to be stored and secreted with efficiency that is comparable to that of authentic insulin. In conjunction with similar findings in other regulated secretory cells (see El Meskini et al. [2001] [54•] ), these data raise questions of whether GFP has cryptic sorting for entry signals, or whether there is simply no way to exclude GFP from entry into the lumen of forming granules. The authors observe a similar but less dramatic storage in insulin secretory granules of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-deficient form of alkaline phosphatase called SEAP, in direct opposition to the results reported in Rindler et al. (2001) [33] . In any event, the findings in this paper raise a note of caution about using protein chimeras with GFP/variants for studies of sorting signals for lumenal protein entry into secretory granules, since such studies may obfuscate the requirement for demonstrating that such a signal is both necessary and sufficient.

The opinion about the role of dibasic sequences in sorting of regulated secretory proteins presented in this paper provides one end of a spectrum: from the notion that such sequences serve as sorting-signal motifs independently of their recognition by dibasic cleavage enzymes; to the notion that cleavage of such sequences may change the biophysical properties (and consequently, sorting) of the cleavage products; to the notion that such sequences - with or without cleavage - are irrelevant for lumenal-protein targeting to secretory granules.
