the Recent evidence suggests that
extension of pseudopods during phagocytosis requires localized
insertion of endomembrane vesicles. The nature of these vesicles and
the processes mediating their release and insertion are unknown. COPI
plays an essential role in the budding and traffic of membrane vesicles
in intracellular compartments. We therefore assessed whether COPI is
also involved in phagosome formation. We used ldlF cells, a mutant line
derived from Chinese hamster ovary cells that express a
temperature-sensitive form of

COP. To confer phagocytic ability to
ldlF cells, they were stably transfected with Fc receptors type IIA
(Fc
RIIA). In the presence of functional COPI, Fc
RIIA-transfected
ldlF cells effectively internalized opsonized particles. In contrast,
phagocytosis was virtually eliminated after incubation at the
restrictive temperature. Similar results were obtained impairing COPI
function in macrophages using brefeldin A. Notably, loss of COPI
function preceded complete inhibition of phagocytosis, suggesting that
COPI is indirectly required for phagocytosis. Despite their inability
to internalize particles, COPI-deficient cells nevertheless expressed
normal levels of Fc
RIIA, and signal transduction appeared unimpeded. The opsonized particles adhered normally to COPI-deficient cells and
were often found on actin-rich pedestals, but they were not internalized due to the inability of the cells to extend pseudopods. The failure to extend pseudopods was attributed to the inability of COPI-deficient cells to mobilize endomembrane vesicles, including a
VAMP3-containing compartment, in response to the phagocytic stimulus.
