The protein-tyrosine phosphatase PTPMEG2 is located on the cytoplasmic face of the enclosing membrane of secretory vesicles, where it regulates vesicle size by promoting homotypic vesicle fusion by dephosphorylating N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor, a key regulator of vesicle fusion. Here we address the question of how PTPMEG2 is targeted to this subcellular location. Using a series of deletion mutants, we pinpointed the N-terminal Sec14p homology ( SEC14) domain of PTPMEG2, residues 1 - 261, as the region containing the secretory vesicle targeting signal. This domain, alone or appended to a heterologous protein, was localized to intracellular vesicle membranes. Yeast two-hybrid screening identified a number of secretory vesicle proteins that interacted directly with the SEC14 domain of PTPMEG2, providing a mechanism for PTPMEG2 targeting to secretory vesicles. Two such proteins, mannose 6-phosphate receptor-interacting protein TIP47 and Arfaptin2, were found to alter PTPMEG2 localization when overexpressed, and elimination of TIP47 resulted in loss of PTPMEG2 function. Weconclude that the N terminus of PTPMEG2 is necessary for the targeting of this phosphatase to the secretory vesicle compartment by association with other proteins involved in intracellular transport.
