In insulin target cells, the predominantly expressed glucose transporter isoform GLUT4 recycles between distinct intracellular compartments and the plasma membrane. To characterize putative targeting signals within GLUT4 in a physiologically relevant cell type, we have analyzed the trafficking of hemagglutinin (HA)-epitope-tagged GLUT4 mutants in transiently transfected primary rat adipose cells. Mutation of the C-terminal dileucine motif (LL489/90) did not affect the cell-surface expression of HA-GLUT4. However, mutation of the N-terminal phenylalanine-based targeting sequence (F5) resulted in substantial increases, whereas deletion of 37 or 28 of the 44 C-terminal residues led to substantial decreases in cell-surface HA-GLUT4 in both the basal and insulin-stimulated states. Studies with wortmannin and coexpression of a dominant-negative dynamin GTPase mutant indicate that these effects appear to be primarily due to decreases and increases, respectively, in the rate of endocytosis. Yeast two-hybrid analyses revealed that the N-terminal phenylalanine-based targeting signal in GLUT4 constitutes a binding site for medium chain adaptins µ1, µ2, and µ3A, implicating a role of this motif in the targeting of GLUT4 to clathrin-coated vesicles.

Key words: Adaptin, Adipose cell, Glucose transporter
