To follow the transport of human syntaxin (Syn) 3 to the
apical surface of intestinal cells, we produced and expressed in Caco-2
cells a chimera made of the entire Syn3 coding sequence and the
extracellular domain of the human transferrin receptor (TfR). This
chimera (Syn3TfR) was localized to the apical membrane and was
transported along the direct apical pathway, suggesting that this is
also the case for endogenous Syn3. To test the potential role of Syn3
in apical transport, we overexpressed it in Caco-2 cells and measured
the efficiency of apical and basolateral delivery of several endogenous
markers. We observed a strong inhibition of apical delivery of
sucrase-isomaltase (SI), an apical transmembrane protein, and of
-glucosidase, an apically secreted protein. No effect was observed
on the basolateral delivery of Ag525, a basolateral antigen, strongly
suggesting that Syn3 is necessary for efficient delivery of proteins to
the apical surface of intestinal cells.
