To examine the acquisition of insulin sensitivity following the initial biosynthesis of the insulin-responsive aminopeptidase (IRAP), 3T3L1 adipocytes were transfected with an Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein-IRAP (EGFP-IRAP) fusion protein. In the absence of insulin, IRAP was rapidly localized (1-3 h) to secretory membranes and retained in these intracellular membrane compartments with little accumulation at the plasma membrane. However, insulin was unable to induce translocation to the plasma membrane until 6-9 h following biosynthesis. This was in marked contrast to another type II membrane protein (Syntaxin 3) that rapidly defaulted to the plasma membrane 3 h following expression. In parallel with the time-dependent acquisition of insulin responsiveness, the newly synthesized IRAP protein converted from a Brefeldin A sensitive to a Brefeldin A insensitive state. The initial trafficking of IRAP to the insulin-responsive compartment was independent of plasma membrane endocytosis as expression of a dominant-interfering dynamin mutant (Dyn/K44A) inhibited transferrin receptor endocytosis but had no effect on the insulin-stimulated translocation of the newly synthesized IRAP protein.
