We investigated the signals involved in the apical targeting of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV/CD26), an archetypal type II transmembrane glycoprotein. A secretory construct, corresponding to the DPP IV ectodomain, was first stably expressed in both the enterocytic-like cell line Caco-2 and the epithelial kidney MDCK cells. Most of the secretory form of the protein was delivered apically in MDCK cells, whereas secretion was 60% basolateral in Caco-2 cells, indicating that DPP IV ectodomain targeting is cell-type-dependent. A chimera (CTM-GFP) containing only the cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains of mouse DPP IV plus the green fluorescent protein was then studied. In both cell lines, this chimera was preferentially expressed at the apical membrane. By contrast, a secretory form of GFP was randomly secreted, indicating that GFP by itself does not contain cryptic targeting information. Comparison of the sequence of the transmembrane domain of DPP IV and several other apically targeted proteins does not show any consensus, suggesting that the apical targeting signal may be conformational. Neither the DPP IV nor the CTM-GFP chimera was enriched in lipid rafts. Together these results indicate that, besides the well-known raft-dependent apical targeting pathway, the fate of the CTM domain of DPP IV may reveal a new raft-independent apical pathway.
