-In fat and skeletal muscle cells, insulin-responsive vesicles, or IRVs, deliver glucose transporter Glut4 and several associated proteins to the plasma membrane in response to hormonal stimulation. Although the protein composition of the IRVs is well studied, the mechanism of their formation is unknown. It is believed, however, that the cytoplasmic tails of the IRV component proteins carry targeting information to this compartment. To test this hypothesis, we have studied targeting of sortilin, one of the major IRV constituents. We have found that the reporter protein consisting of the cytoplasmic tail of sortilin and EGFP is co-localized with ectopically expressed Glut4 in the perinuclear compartment of undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells that do not form insulin-responsive vesicles. Upon cell differentiation, this reporter protein does not enter the IRVs; moreover, it loses its perinuclear localization and becomes randomly distributed throughout the whole intracellular space. In contrast, the tagged luminal Vps10p domain of sortilin demonstrates partial co-localization with Glut4 in both undifferentiated and differentiated cells and is targeted to the IRVs upon cell differentiation. Using chemical cross-linking and the yeast two-hybrid system, we show that sortilin interacts with Glut4 and IRAP in the vesicular lumen. Our results suggest that luminal interactions between component proteins play an important role in the process of IRV biogenesis.
