Insulin controls the spatial distribution of GLUT4 on the cell surface through regulation of its postfusion dispersal
(2010) In Cell Metabolism 12(3). p.9-250- Abstract
While the glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) is fundamental to insulin-regulated glucose metabolism, its dynamic spatial organization in the plasma membrane (PM) is unclear. Here, using multicolor TIRF microscopy in transfected adipose cells, we demonstrate that insulin regulates not only the exocytosis of GLUT4 storage vesicles but also PM distribution of GLUT4 itself. In the basal state, domains (clusters) of GLUT4 molecules in PM are created by an exocytosis that retains GLUT4 at the fusion site. Surprisingly, when insulin induces a burst of GLUT4 exocytosis, it does not merely accelerate this basal exocytosis but rather stimulates approximately 60-fold another mode of exocytosis that disperses GLUT4 into PM. In contradistinction,... (More)

Surprisingly, when insulin induces a burst of GLUT4 exocytosis, it does not merely accelerate this basal exocytosis but rather stimulates approximately 60-fold another mode of exocytosis that disperses GLUT4 into PM. In contradistinction, internalization of most GLUT4, regardless of insulin, occurs from pre-existing clusters via the subsequent recruitment of clathrin. The data fit a new kinetic model that features multifunctional clusters as intermediates of exocytosis and endocytosis.
