**Abstract** Membrane lipids, and especially phosphoinositides, are differentially enriched within the eukaryotic endomembrane system. This generates a landmark code by modulating the properties of each membrane. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P₂] specifically accumulates at the plasma membrane in yeast, animal, and plant cells, where it regulates a wide range of cellular processes including endocytic trafficking. However, the functional consequences of mispatterning PI(4,5)P₂ in plants are unknown. Here, we functionally characterized the putative phosphoinositide phosphatase *SUPPRESSOR OF ACTIN9* (SAC9) in *Arabidopsis thaliana* (*Arabidopsis*). We found that SAC9 depletion led to the ectopic localization of PI(4,5)P₂ on cortical intracellular compartments, which depends on PI4P and PI(4,5)P₂ production at the plasma membrane. SAC9 localizes to a subpopulation of trans-Golgi Network/early endosomes that are enriched in a region close to the cell cortex and that are coated with clathrin. Furthermore, it interacts and colocalizes with Src Homology 3 Domain Protein 2 (SH3P2), a protein involved in endocytic trafficking. In the absence of SAC9, SH3P2 localization is altered and the clathrin-mediated endocytosis rate is reduced. Together, our results highlight the importance of restricting PI(4,5)P₂ at the plasma membrane and illustrate that one of the consequences of PI(4,5)P₂ mispatterning in plants is to impact the endocytic trafficking.

## Editor's evaluation

Phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) are lipids that can convey distinct identities to different cellular membranes via different phosphorylation patterns. Here, Lebecq, Doumane, and co-authors document the effects of the previously-characterized sac9 mutant, affecting a putative PIP-5-phosphatase in Arabidopsis, on PIP localization and endocytic trafficking. This work confirms that disrupting PI(4,5)P2 localization or abundance can affect endocytic trafficking in plants and will be of interest to the plant and cell biology research fields.
Introduction

Phosphoinositides constitute a family of low abundance lipids differentially enriched in the membranes of eukaryotic cells (Platre and Jaillais, 2016; Balla, 2013; Noack and Jaillais, 2020a). These versatile lipids can be interconverted into one another. For example, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate [PI(4,5)P₂] is synthetized from phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) by PI4P-5 kinases and is dephosphorylated into PI4P by PI(4,5)P₂ 5-phosphatase (Noack and Jaillais, 2017). Furthermore, PI(4,5)P₂ and PI4P are hydrolyzed by phospholipases C (PLC) into diacylglycerol and soluble phosphorylated inositol (Balla, 2013). PI(4,5)P₂ strictly localizes at the plasma membrane in plants and animal cells (Van Leeuwen et al., 2007; Carim et al., 2019; Del Signore et al., 2017; Simon et al., 2014; Ben El Kadhi et al., 2011) despite the plasma membrane being constantly turned-over by endocytosis and exocytosis. Throughout this paper, we define endocytosis in its broader sense, including the internalization step sensus stricto (i.e. recruitment of cargo and coat components of the 'clathrin-mediated endocytosis' machinery, formation of clathrin-coated pits, scission of the clathrin-coated vesicles and uncoating) followed by the subsequent transport of lipid and proteins through the endosomal system. As such, the endocytosis, or here after the endocytic trafficking, is the process that allows (1) cells to transport particles and molecules across the plasma membrane and (2) the termination of signaling through transport toward the vacuole for degradation. At the plasma membrane, PI(4,5)P₂ interacts with a variety of extrinsic membrane proteins such as endocytic protein adaptors (Zhang et al., 2015) and actin-regulatory proteins (Paez Valencia et al., 2016), which are recruited and/or activated by the binding to PI(4,5)P₂. Therefore, PI(4,5)P₂ subcellular patterning is likely critical to regulate the recruitment of proteins that act at the plasma membrane, and the cellular processes they mediate, including clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

Consistent with a critical role of PI(4,5)P₂ in the recruitment of early clathrin-mediated endocytosis factors, a pip5k1 pip5k2 double mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) lacking two ubiquitously expressed PI4P-5 kinases, has abnormal auxin distribution and defective endocytic trafficking of the transmembrane auxin efflux carriers PIN-FORMED 1 (PIN1) and PIN2 (Tejos et al., 2014; Ischebeck et al., 2013; Mei et al., 2012). Furthermore, the pip5k1 pip5k2 double mutant has an altered dynamic of CLATRHIN LIGHT CHAIN2 (CLC2), with the density of CLC2 foci at the plasma membrane being reduced in the mutant (Ischebeck et al., 2013). Overexpression of Arabidopsis PI4P-5 kinase 6 in tip-growing pollen tubes induced massive aggregation of the plasma membrane in pollen tube tips due to excessive clathrin-dependent membrane invagination, supporting a role for PI(4,5)P₂ in promoting early stages of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (Zhao et al., 2010). The inducible overexpression of a highly active human PI4P-5 kinase leads to an increased PI(4,5)P₂ production, very strong developmental phenotypes, and heightened endocytic trafficking toward the vacuole (Gujas et al., 2017). In addition, we recently showed that inducible depletion of the PI(4,5)P₂ from the plasma membrane using the iDePP system leads to a decrease in the fraction of the clathrin adaptor protein AP2-μ and the Src Homology (SH3)-domain containing protein 2 (SH3P2) at the plasma membrane (Doumane et al., 2021). Furthermore, FM4-64 uptake experiments confirmed an impact of PI(4,5)P₂ depletion from the plasma membrane on bulk endocytic flow.

In animal cells, several PI(4,5)P₂ phosphatases are required for the late stages of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (He et al., 2017; Pirruccello et al., 2014). Many PI(4,5)P₂ phosphatases belong to the 5-phosphatase enzyme family, including OCRL and synaptojanins (Syn1/2) in animals, and synaptojanin-like proteins (Inp51p/Snj1l1p, Inp52p/Sjl2p, and Inp53p/Sjl3p) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The Arabidopsis genome contains 15 genes encoding 5-phosphatases, but only a few are characterized. Mutation in the 5-phosphatase nine leads to osmotic stress tolerance, with reduced reactive oxygen species production and Ca²⁺ influx (Golani et al., 2013). The 5-phosphatase 6/COTYLEDON VASCULAR PATTERN2 (CVP2) and 5-phosphatase 7/CVP2 LIKE 1 (CVL1) are specifically required for vascular differentiation (Rodriguez-Villalon et al., 2015; Carland and Nelson, 2009; Carland and Nelson, 2004). Finally, the 5-phosphatase 15/FRAGILE FIBER 3 (FRA3) is expressed in developing fibers and vascular cells, which is consistent with the defective fiber and vessel phenotypes seen in the loss-of-function fra3 mutant (Zhong et al., 2004).

Proteins containing SUPPRESSOR OF ACTIN (or Sac1-like) domains constitute another family of phosphoinositide phosphatases (Zhong and Ye, 2003). In Arabidopsis, there are nine SAC proteins, forming three clades (Zhong and Ye, 2003). The first clade is composed of SAC1, a PI(3,5)P₂ 5-phosphatase (Zhong et al., 2005), and its relatives SAC2 to 5, putative PI(3,5)P₂ 5-phosphatases (Nováková et al.,
2014). The second clade corresponds to SAC7/RHD4 a PI4P 4-phosphatase (Thole et al., 2008) and its relatives SAC6 and SAC8 putative PI4P 4-phosphatases (Song et al., 2021). The third clade is composed of a single member, a plant-specific protein called SAC9. SAC9 has a unique structure, with a SAC phosphoinositide phosphatase domain at its N-terminus, immediately followed by a putative protein/protein interaction domain (WW domain), and a long C-terminal region of 1104 amino acids where a putative coil-coiled domain is predicted (Figure 1A, Zhong and Ye, 2003). The sac9 mutant is dwarf, it constitutively accumulates anthocyanins and it expresses genes from stress response pathways (Williams et al., 2005). Loss-of-function alleles of SAC9 display a threefold increase in PI(4,5)P₂ content, together with a decrease in PI4P level, suggesting that it acts as a PI(4,5)P₂ 5-phosphatase in planta (Williams et al., 2005).

Using in vivo confocal microscopy, we found that SAC9 localizes in a subpopulation of trans-Golgi network/early endosomes (TGN/EEs) enriched in a region close to the cell cortex. Loss of SAC9 results into PI(4,5)P₂ mis-patterning at the subcellular level, leading to the accumulation of PI(4,5)P₂ in subcortical compartments associated with TGN/EEs. Similar cellular and developmental phenotypes were observed when SAC9 was mutated on its putative catalytic cysteine, suggesting that the phosphoinositide phosphatase activity of SAC9 is required for function. SAC9 interacts and colocalizes with the endocytic component SH3P2. In the absence of SAC9, and therefore when the patterning of the PI(4,5)P₂ is compromised, SH3P2 localization is affected and the clathrin-mediated endocytosis is significantly reduced. Thus, SAC9 is required to maintain efficient endocytic uptake, highlighting the importance of restricting the PI(4,5)P₂ pool to the plasma membrane.

## Results

### The cysteine 459 in the catalytic domain of SAC9 is required for SAC9 function

We investigated the root phenotype in the already described mutant alleles of SAC9 (Vollmer et al., 2011; Williams et al., 2005). As previously described, sac9-1⁻/⁻ and sac9-3⁻/⁻ knock-out mutants are two times shorter compared to the wild-type (WT) Col-0, at 12 days post-germination (dpg; Figure 1A-C). We also observed a three-time decrease in the lateral root density of sac9-1⁻/⁻ and sac9-3⁻/⁻ compared to WT plants (Figure 1B-D). To confirm that the phenotypes observed were due to the loss-of-function of SAC9, we generated Arabidopsis lines expressing SAC9 fused to a fluorescent protein (mCIT-SAC9 and TdTOM-SAC9) under SAC9 native promoter (SAC9pro) or the UBIQUITIN10 promoter (UBQ10pro), respectively (Figure 1, Figure 1—figure supplement 1A and B). We found that both SAC9pro:mCIT-SAC9 and UBQ10pro:TdTOM-SAC9 rescued sac9-3⁻/⁻ mutant phenotypes in two independent homozygous T3 transgenic lines for each construct (Figure 1B and C; Figure 1—figure supplement 1A). These results indicate that the root phenotypes described above are caused by SAC9 loss-of-function, and that N-terminally tagged SAC9 proteins are functional.

Next, we mutated the cysteine in the conserved C-x(5)-R-[T/S] catalytic motif found in all SAC domain-containing phosphoinositide phosphatase (Hsu et al., 2015; Hsu and Mao, 2013; Figure 1A and Figure 1—figure supplement 1A). Such cysteine-to-alanine substitution was shown to block the catalytic phosphatase activity of other SAC domain-containing proteins (Manford et al., 2010; Tani and Kuge, 2014), and thus mCIT-SAC9C459A is a putative catalytically dead version of the enzyme. In contrast to wild-type mCIT-SAC9, we could not find any transgenic lines expressing SAC9pro:mCIT-SAC9C459A that were able to rescue the sac9-3 phenotype, out of 24 independent lines analyzed in T1 (Figure 1B, C, Figure 1—figure supplement 1A, B). Further analyses on two independent T3 homozygous lines confirmed these initial results and showed that mCIT-SAC9C459A fusions were stable and accumulated to similar extent as wild-type mCIT-SAC9 (Figure 1B and C, Figure 1—figure supplement 1A, B). Thus, the putative catalytic cysteine, C459, is required for SAC9 function but not for the stability of the protein, suggesting that the phosphatase activity of SAC9 is participating in the observed phenotypes.

### SAC9 localizes to a population of early endosomes close to the plasma membrane

Some phosphoinositide-phosphatases such as Metazoan Sac1 and yeast Sac1p are able to dephosphorylate in vitro several phosphoinositide species, but display a narrower specificity in vivo (Hughes et al., 2000; Guo et al., 1999; Rivas et al., 1999). Also, some enzymes involved in phosphoinositide

metabolism, such as the yeast PI 4-kinases Stt4p and Pik1p, specifically impact distinct pools of a given phosphoinositide species depending on their subcellular localization (Roy and Levine, 2004; Yoshida et al., 1994; Flanagan et al., 1993). Using homozygous T3 transgenic lines expressing the functional SAC9pro:mCIT-SAC9 or Ub10pro:TdTOM-SAC9 constructs, we assessed the subcellular distribution of SAC9 in rescued sac9-3/- homozygous plants using live-cell fluorescence imaging. In meristematic epidermal cells of Arabidopsis roots, mCIT-SAC9 and TdTOM-SAC9 were mainly diffused in the cytosol and excluded from the nucleus (Figure 2A-C, Figure 2—figure supplement 1A). At the cortex of the cell, in close vicinity to the plasma membrane (Zi focal plane, Figure 2A; Figure 2—figure supplement 1B), mCIT-SAC9 localized to a cortical population of mobile dotty structures (Figure 2B, Video 1). To assess whether this discrete subcellular localization was relevant for SAC9 function, we generated transgenic lines expressing a mCIT-SAC9 variant in which the predicted coil-coiled motif was deleted, under the native promoter (Figure 1A, SAC9pro:mCIT-SAC9<sup>ΔCC</sup>). Analyses of 24 independent T1 revealed that mCIT-SAC9<sup>ΔCC</sup> did not complement sac9-3/- dwarf phenotype (Figure 1—figure supplement 1A). Similar to mCIT-SAC9<sup>C459A</sup>, these results were confirmed on two independent homozygous T3 lines and western blot analyses showed that mCIT-SAC9<sup>ΔCC</sup> accumulated to similar extent as the wild-type mCIT-SAC9 in each of these lines (Figure 1—figure supplement 1B). However, mCIT-SAC9<sup>ΔCC</sup> did not localize to endosome and remained entirely cytosolic (Figure 2B, Figure 2—figure supplement 1C). Thus, even though SAC9 localization in cortical intracellular compartments is discreet, and only slightly enriched compared to its cytosolic localization, it appears critical for function. Furthermore, this analysis excludes a scenario in which the mCIT-SAC9-containing compartments are cytosolic densities, because they are not seen with a cytosolic mutant of SAC9.

The putative catalytically dead version, mCIT-SAC9<sup>C459A</sup>, accumulated to a lesser extent in the cytosol compared to the native form. In addition, SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> showed a threefold increase in the number of labeled dotty structures compared with the signal collected for the wild-type fusion proteins mCIT-SAC9 and TdTOM-SAC9 (Figure 2C, D). This result suggests that the putative catalytic cysteine of SAC9 is required for the dynamic interaction of SAC9 with intracellular membranes. However, co-visualization of TdTOM-SAC9 and mCIT-SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> (Figure 2E) in Col-0 background demonstrated that all TdTOM-SAC9 dotty structures colocalized with mCIT-SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> at the cortex of the cell.

By comparing the signal observed at the cortex of the cell (Zi) with the signal collected at the center of the cell (Zii), we observed and quantified that mCIT-SAC9 labeled more intracellular compartments close to the plasma membrane than at a distal position, while this bias was less pronounced for FM4-64 labeled compartments (Figure 2F-H). Similarly, when imaging cells in their cortical part close to the plasma membrane (Zi), the mCIT-SAC9 and mCIT-SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> signal was concentrated in intracellular compartments at the close vicinity with the plasma membrane (Figure 2F and I). These results suggest a function for SAC9 in regulating phosphoinositide homeostasis either at or in the close vicinity of the plasma membrane.

We next investigated the nature of the intracellular structures labeled by mCIT-SAC9. Both mCIT-SAC9 and mCIT-SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> colocalized with the amphiphilic styryl dye (FM4-64) stained

endosomal compartments at the cell's cortex, just beneath the plasma membrane, while the soluble mCIT-SAC9<sup>ACC</sup> did not (Figure 3A and B, Figure 2—figure supplement 1B, C, Figure 3—figure supplement 1A). Early endosomes/TGN (EE/TGN) are sensitive to BFA while late endosomes (LE/MVB) are not (Takagi and Uemura, 2018). We observed that Brefeldin A (BFA) treatment led to the aggregation of mCIT-SAC9 and mCIT-SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> into BFA bodies (Figure 3C, D) suggesting that both functional and C459-mutated SAC9 fusion proteins may localize to EE/TGN compartments.

To get more precise insights into the SAC9's localization at the TGN, we crossed *Arabidopsis* lines expressing fluorescent tagged SAC9 and SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> proteins with endomembranes markers (Geldner et al., 2009). Using live-cell imaging in root meristematic cells at a Zi focal plane, we observed and quantified that mCIT-SAC9 colocalized with TGN markers (CLC2-RFP>79% colocalization; mCH-RabA1g>91%, mCH-VTI12 >67%; Figure 3E and F). The mCIT-SAC9 showed very weak colocalization with a late endosome (LE/MVB) marker (mCH-RabF2a<17%, Figures 3E and 2F), and with a Golgi marker (mCH-Got1P<1%, Figure 3E and F). Similarly, mCIT-SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> strongly colocalized with CLC2-RFP and mCH-RAB-A1g markers, whereas it did not colocalized with the Golgi marker (Figure 3—figure supplement 2C, Figure 3G, H). This confirmed that SAC9 and SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> fusion proteins localized to the TGN/EE, with the noticeable difference that SAC9 localization in endomembrane compartments was restricted to the cortex of the cell, suggesting a role of SAC9 in PI(4,5)P₂ homeostasis between the plasma membrane and early endosomal compartments.

## SAC9 is required to maintain the pool of PI(4,5)P₂ at the plasma membrane

It was previously reported that *Arabidopsis* sac9-1 loss-of-function mutant had a diminution of PI4P and a threefold accumulation of PI(4,5)P₂, suggesting that SAC9 has a PI(4,5)P₂ 5-phosphatase catalytic activity (Williams et al., 2005). In order to visualize the effect of the perturbation of the phosphoinositide metabolism in the absence of SAC9, we introgressed two independent PI(4,5)P₂ biosensors (Simon et al., 2014) into sac9-3/- genetic background. As previously described, both PI(4,5)P₂ biosensors labeled the plasma membrane and were excluded from intracellular compartments in wild-type cells (Figure 4A and B). In sac9-3/-, mCIT-2xPH<sup>PLC</sup> and mCIT-TUBBYc not only labeled the plasma membrane, but also decorated cortical intracellular dotty structures (Figure 4A and B). In addition to the absence of complementation observed macroscopically for sac9-3 mutants expressing the putative catalytically-dead SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> variant (Figure 1B and C, Figure 1—figure supplement 1A),
<figure><img src="image_5.png" /><figcaption>**Video 1.** Time-lapse imaging of mCIT-SAC9 using spinning disk confocal microscope (1 s per frame). https://elifesciences.org/articles/73837/figures#video1</figcaption></figure>

the same aberrant localization for the PI(4,5)P₂ biosensor mCIT-TUBBYc was observed in these lines (Figure 4C). These results demonstrate that C459 is required for the regulation of the pool of PI(4,5)P₂ and point out toward a role of SAC9 for the restriction of the PI(4,5)P₂ at the plasma membrane via its catalytic phosphatase activity. We also observed an increase in the number of intracellular compartments labeled by the PI4P biosensors (Simon et al., 2014; Simon et al., 2016) mCIT-PH<sup>FAPP1</sup> and mCIT-P4M<sup>SidM</sup>, but not for mCIT-PH<sup>OSBP</sup> (Figure 4A and B). This result is consistent with a diminution of the PI4P pool at the plasma membrane and therefore the relocalization of the PI4P biosensor in intracellular compartments, as previously reported (Simon et al., 2016). The subcellular localization of PI3P sensors (mCIT-FYVE<sup>HRS</sup> and mCIT-PHOX<sup>p40</sup>) was identical between Col-0 and sac9-/- cells (Figure 4B, Figure 4—figure supplement 2A). We detected a slight but significant decrease in the density of intracellular compartments decorated by mCIT-C2<sup>Lact</sup> phosphatidylserine biosensor in sac9-3/- (Figure 4B; Figure 4—figure supplement 1). Taken together, these results indicate that SAC9-depletion leads to a massive change in PI(4,5)P₂ subcellular patterning, which is present on intracellular cortical structures instead of only being present at the plasma membrane.

Previous ultrastructural investigation using electron microscopy, reported a massive accumulation of vesicles, presumably containing cell wall, at the close vicinity to the plasma membrane in the sac9 mutant (Vollmer et al., 2011). When co-imaging 2xmCH-2xPH<sup>FAPP1</sup>

together with mCIT-TUBBYc in sac9-3-/- (Figure 4D), the dotty structures decorated by the PI(4,5)P₂ biosensor were observed at the cortex of the cell (Zi), in the close vicinity of the plasma membrane (Figure 4D upper panel), whereas those structures were rarely observed in the internal part of the cell (Figure 4D lower panel). Moreover, dotty structures containing PI(4,5)P₂ were associated with PI4P-labeled compartments but they did not strictly overlap. Confocal imaging of sac9-3-/- mutant co-expressing mCIT-TUBBYc with endosomal markers revealed that the dotty structures containing PI(4,5)P₂ were found associated but strictly overlapping with the FM4-64 endocytic tracer as well as TGN markers (Figure 4—figure supplement 1C). Furthermore, BFA treatment efficiently induced 2xmCH-2xPH<sup>FAPP1</sup>-positive BFA bodies in sac9-3-/- but did not affect the distribution of mCIT-TUBBYc compartments in the same cells (Figure 4—figure supplement 1D). Therefore, PI(4,5)P₂-containing intracellular compartments in sac9-3-/- are devoid of any ARF GTPase activated by BFA sensitive ARF-GEF, and are associated with TGN markers (Figure 4—figure supplement 1E). In vivo time-lapse imaging of PI(4,5)P₂ biosensor mCIT-TUBBYc and mCIT-2xPH<sup>LC</sup> in sac9-3-/- mutant revealed that those intracellular structures were mobile in the cortex of root epidermal cells, hence, behaving like intracellular compartments (Figure 4—figure supplement 1F, Video 2). Moreover, in sac9-3-/- coexpressing the PI(4,5)P₂ biosensor mCIT-TUBBYc together with the non-functional SAC9pro:tdTOM-SAC9<sup>C459A</sup>, mCIT-TUBBYc-labeled intracellular structures did not strictly colocalized but were observed at the same Z plan in close association with tdTOM-SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> (Figure 4—figure supplement 1G).

We next addressed the turnover and the origin of the cortical intracellular PI(4,5)P₂ compartment observed in sac9-3⁻/⁻. We previously showed that short-term treatment (15–30 min) with phenylarsine oxide (PAO), a pan PI 4-kinases inhibitor, significantly depletes PI4P (Figure 4—figure supplement 2) but not PI(4,5)P₂ pools at the plasma membrane of plant cells, whereas longer treatment (>60 min) affects the synthesis of both lipids (Figure 4—figure supplement 2A, Platre et al., 2018; Simon et al., 2016). We used this pharmacological approach to test the effect of the inhibition of either PI4P, or both PI4P and PI(4,5)P₂ synthesis, on sac9-3⁻/⁻ anomalous PI(4,5)P₂ intracellular compartments (Figure 4—figure supplement 2A-2E). Solubilization of mCIT-PH<sup>FAPP1-E50A</sup> PI4P biosensor in sac9-3⁻/⁻ cells treated for either 30 or 120 min with PAO confirmed the efficient PI4P depletion in both conditions (Figure 4—figure supplement 2A-2E). Solubilization of mCIT-TUBBYc PI(4,5)P₂ biosensor in WT after 120 min of PAO exposure, but not after 30 min, confirmed that an efficient PI(4,5)P₂ depletion occurred only for the longest treatment (Figure 4—figure supplement 2A-2E). 30 min PAO treatment did not affect anomalous sac9-3⁻/⁻ PI(4,5)P₂ compartments, but 120 min PAO treatment significantly reduced the number of anomalous PI(4,5)P₂ compartments compared to both 120 min mock treatments or 30 min short treatment (Figure 4—figure supplement 2A-2E), showing that intracellular PI(4,5)P₂ compartments in sac9-3⁻/⁻ are dependent on the PI4P synthesis, itself substrate for PI(4,5)P₂ production.

## SAC9 is required for efficient endocytic trafficking

Because of the specific localization of SAC9 at the cortex of the cell and its colocalization with TGN/EE markers, we wondered whether PI(4,5)P₂ defective patterning in sac9-3⁻/⁻ correlates with endocytic defects. We counted the numbers of labeled endosomes following FM4-64 endocytic tracer treatment in cells from WT and sac9-3⁻/⁻ seedlings (Rigal et al., 2015). We observed a significant near twofold decrease in the number of FM4-64-labeled endosomes per cells in sac9-3⁻/⁻ compared to the WT (Figure 5A and B, Figure 5—figure supplement 1A), which was not caused by smaller cells in sac9-3⁻/⁻ as the density of FM4-64-labeled endosomes was also strongly and significantly decreased compared to the WT (Figure 5—figure supplement 1). We inhibited recycling with BFA, and used FM4-64 tracer to monitor the endocytic trafficking by measuring the number of BFA bodies labeled by FM4-64 in Col-0 and sac9-3⁻/⁻. We observed significantly less FM4-64-labeled BFA bodies per cells in sac9-3⁻/⁻ compared to the WT (Figure 5C and D, Figure 5—figure supplement 1B), confirming the lower rate of endocytic trafficking in this mutant. We then assessed whether SAC9 depletion affected the trafficking of cargo proteins. We, therefore, performed another BFA assay, but using the integral membrane protein PIN-FORMED2 fused with GFP (PIN2-GFP) which localizes at the plasma membrane and in intracellular organelles as it continuously recycles (Armengot et al., 2016). We observed significantly less PIN2-GFP-labeled BFA bodies per cell in sac9-3⁻/⁻ compared to WT (Figure 5E and F). PIN2-GFP being partially located on intracellular organelles before BFA treatment, the effect observed may, therefore, indicate an endocytic defect as supported by the others experiments, and/or a more general defect in trafficking in sac9-3⁻/⁻.

To gain further insights into the function of SAC9 in the endocytic trafficking, we investigated the sensitivity of the sac9 mutant to pharmacological inhibition of endocytosis. To this end, we used the recently described ES9-17, which is a specific inhibitor of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (Dejonghe et al., 2019). We treated wild-type and sac9-3⁻ seedlings with ES9-17 for 180 min and labeled the plasma membrane and endosomes with FM4-64. We observed dome-shaped plasma membrane invaginations in ES9-17 long-term treatment of Col-0 seedlings, almost exclusively in elongating or differentiated cells (epidermal or root cap cells), substantiating the possibility that these invaginations constitute read-outs of long-term disturb endocytic trafficking (Figure 5G and H, Doumane et al., 2021).

Strikingly, we observed a much higher number of dome-shaped plasma membrane invagination decorated by the PI(4,5)P₂ biosensors mCIT-TUBBYc in cells from ES9-17 treated *sac9-3⁻* (Figure 5I), showing that SAC9 depletion causes over-sensitivity to inhibition of endocytic trafficking. Hypersensitivity to endocytic trafficking inhibition, decreased internalization of the bulk endocytic tracer FM4-64 and defects in PIN2 protein trafficking together indicate that endocytic trafficking is impacted in the absence of SAC9.

**SAC9 is required for SH3P2 localization at the plasma membrane**

To gain some insights into SAC9 function, we next screened for SAC9 interactors using a yeast two-hybrid assay against a universal *Arabidopsis* normalized dT library (ULTImate Y2H SCREEN, hybrigenics). As a bait, we used a portion of SAC9 (AA 499–966), which includes the WW domain, a putative protein-protein interaction platform (Figure 6A). Out of 59.6 million screened interaction, we recovered and sequenced 260 independent clones corresponding to 107 different proteins. However, among these proteins, most were classified as proven artifact or low confidence interaction and only three candidates (2.8%) were ranked as very high confidence in the interaction (Supplementary file 1B). Among the high confident interaction candidate, we identified 11 clones corresponding to SH3P2 (five

independent clones). In the yeast-two-hybrid screen, the selected interaction domain identified for SH3P2, corresponds to the C-terminal part of the proteins (aa 213–368), which includes the SH3 domain (Figure 6A). We decided to focus on this candidate because, like SAC9, SH3P2 is linked to both clathrin-mediated endocytosis and membrane phosphoinositides. Indeed, SH3P2 (i) colocalizes with clathrin light chain, (ii) cofractionates with clathrin-coated vesicles (Nagel et al., 2017), and (iii) co-immunoprecipitates in planta with clathrin heavy chain (Nagel et al., 2017), clathrin light chain (Adamowski et al., 2018), and the dynamin DRP1A (Ahn et al., 2017). Furthermore, SH3P2 binds to various phosphoinositides in vitro (Zhuang et al., 2013; Ahn et al., 2017), and its plasma membrane localization is dependent on PI(4,5)P₂ in vivo (Doumane et al., 2021).

In an attempt to validate the reverse interaction, SH3P2-GFP was transiently expressed in *N. benthamiana*, then immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry analysis (IP-MS) was done. Among the top interactors were two SAC9 protein isoforms in *N. benthamiana*, as determined by log fold-change and p-value in peptide count when compared to GFP control (Figure 6B-C). As SH3P2 was previously shown to be degraded via the proteasome (Leong et al., 2022), Bortezomib (BTZ) treatment was used to inhibit SH3P2 degradation in planta, and we observed a corresponding increase in the log fold change and p-value of SAC9 peptide counts compared to control (GFP/BTZ). Notably, AUXILIN-LIKE1/2 which are already described protein partners of SH3P2 (Adamowski et al., 2018), were found as among the top hits in both conditions, either with or without BTZ, thereby validating the approach (Figure 6B-C).

Using live cell imaging we observed and quantified that fluorescently tagged SAC9 and SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> colocalized with SH3P2 in a subcortical population of endomembrane compartments (Figure 6B and C), probably TGN/EEs (Figure 3E and F). Because SH3P2 was described to play a role in different steps of membrane trafficking, from the endocytosis at the plasma membrane to autophagy, we next addressed more precisely which pool of SH3P2 was affected in the absence of SAC9. Using confocal imaging, we observed a diminution of the signal corresponding to SH3P2-sGFP at the plasma membrane compared to the cytoplasm in sac9-3, while the amount of SH3P2-sGFP detected via western blot was similar between the two genotypes (Figure 6D-F, Figure 6—figure supplement 1). Moreover, in the absence of functional SAC9, SH3P2-TdTOM accumulates in a structure closely associated with the aberrant PI(4,5)P₂ pool decorated with mCIT-TUBBYc (Figure 6H). Altogether, the trafficking defects observed in the sac9 mutant, the impaired localization of SH3P2 in the absence of a functional SAC9 and the formation of a SAC9-SH3P2 complex all point toward a role of SAC9 in endocytic trafficking.

**Figure supplement 1.** Western blot analysis of TPLATE-GFP and SH3P2-GFP in WT and *sac9-3*.
## The endocytic protein TPLATE has an altered dynamic in the absence of SAC9

SAC9 is observed at the close vicinity to the plasma membrane and its absence causes a mislocalization of its protein partner SH3P2, as well as a reduction of the overall endocytosis process. We then assessed if the clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the plasma membrane was affected in the absence of SAC9. Using Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, we determined the density and dynamic behavior of the endocytic protein from the TPLATE complex, TPLATE-GFP, in the sac9 mutant compared with wild-type plants. Quantitative analysis revealed that the density of TPLATE-GFP was reduced in sac9-3⁻/⁻ compared with the WT while the amount of TPLATE-GFP detected via western blot was similar between the two genotypes (Figure 7A and B; Figure 6—figure supplement 1; Video 3). Analysis of the dynamics of TPLATE-GFP at the plasma membrane of etiolated hypocotyl revealed a decrease in the dwell time of TPLATE-GFP at the plasma membrane in the sac9 mutant compared to the WT (Figure 7C and D). This result is in line with a reduction of the endocytic flow in the absence of SAC9, and suggests that maintaining a strict plasma membrane accumulation of PI(4,5)P₂ is critical for clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

## Discussion

Here, we showed that SAC9 putative catalytic cysteine is required to complement the sac9 phenotype, suggesting that SAC9 phosphoinositide phosphatase activity is key for its function. Fluorescent SAC9 protein fusions colocalize with TGN/EE markers in a subpopulation of endosomes close to the plasma membrane. We found that the subcellular patterning of PI(4,5)P₂ is defective in sac9 mutants, consistent with the idea that SAC9 is a PI(4,5)P₂ 5-phosphatase. In planta, SAC9 interacts and colocalizes with the endocytic trafficking component SH3P2. In the absence of SAC9, and therefore when the patterning of the PI(4,5)P₂ at the plasma membrane and at its close vicinity is affected, SH3P2 localization at the plasma membrane is decreased and the rate of clathrin-mediated endocytosis is significantly reduced. Together, these findings underlie the importance of strictly restricting PI(4,5)P₂ to the plasma membrane during the endocytic process.

## SAC9 and phosphoinositide interconversion along the endocytic pathway

In animal cells, a phosphoinositide conversion cascade has been described through the successive action of phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases. This cascade starts with PI(4,5)P₂ at the plasma membrane and ends-up with PI3P in the membrane of early endosomes (Noack and Jaillais, 2017; Schmid and Mettlen, 2013; Abad et al., 2017; Posor et al., 2015; Posor et al., 2013; Shin et al., 2005). Briefly, PI(4,5)P₂ is dephosphorylated at the plasma membrane or during the endocytic process by 5-phosphatase enzymes such as OCRL and synaptojanin (De Matteis et al., 2017; Cauvin et al., 2016; Nández et al., 2014; Ben El Kadhi et al., 2011; Posor et al., 2013). PI4P is then phosphorylated into PI(3,4)P₂ inside clathrin-coated pits by a PI3-kinase (PI3K C2α), before being converted into PI3P through the action of a PI4P phosphatase on clathrin-coated vesicles (Schmid and Mettlen, 2013; Posor et al., 2013). Because both PI(4,5)P₂ and PI3P are essential regulators of endocytic trafficking, this conversion cascade, and in particular the precise recruitment of dedicated enzymes at the right place and at the right time during endocytic trafficking, is of critical importance for clathrin-mediated endocytosis to proceed normally (Noack and Jaillais, 2017; Schmid and Mettlen, 2013).

The plants TGN collects endocytic vesicles and redirects cargo proteins either to the plasma membrane for recycling or to late endosomes/vacuole for degradation (Dettmer et al., 2006; Narasimhan et al., 2020; Rodriguez-Furlan et al., 2019). The plant TGN/EE is enriched in PI4P, not PI3P, which instead accumulates in late endosomes (Noack and Jaillais, 2020a; Simon et al., 2014). Interestingly, we found that (i) SAC9 localizes to clathrin-coated compartments close to the plasma membrane and (ii) the sac9 mutant accumulates PI(4,5)P₂ in vesicular structures at the cortex of the cells. Together, we propose that SAC9 represents the long sought-after enzyme that performs the PI(4,5)P₂-to-PI4P conversion during the plant endocytic process (Figure 8). As such, SAC9 is required to erase PI(4,5)P₂ in endosomal membranes and thereby maintains this lipid strictly at the plasma membrane.

SAC9 being a putative PI(4,5)P₂ phosphatase, we could have expected that SAC9 overexpression may have induced gain-of-function phenotypes caused by ectopic PI(4,5)P₂ dephosphorylation. However, transgenic lines that express SAC9 under the expression of the *UBQ10* promoter did not show any obvious phenotypes, and instead complemented the sac9 loss-of-function phenotype like the endogenous promoter. This absence of overexpression phenotypes may be explained by several hypotheses. First, it is possible that SAC9 is not sufficiently overexpressed when under the control of the *UBQ10* promoter compared to the endogenous SAC9 promoter. Second, it is possible that SAC9 overexpressing lines compensate for the excess SAC9 activity by adjusting their PI4P and PI(4,5)P₂ balance. However, our data point toward a third possibility. Most lipid phosphatase studied to date require membrane association to dephosphorylate their cognate phosphoinositide, while they do not act on their target lipid when they are in the cytosol. We found that SAC9 strongly accumulates in the cytoplasm when it is expressed under the control of either promoter and in particular when it is overexpressed. Thus, SAC9 membrane association, rather than its expression level, is likely to be the limiting factor preventing SAC9 gain-of-function phenotype in over-expression lines.

## Accumulation of PI(4,5)P₂-containing vesicles in the sac9 mutant

In the absence of SAC9, PI(4,5)P₂ accumulates inside the cell in what appears to be abnormal compartments that are associated with but independent from TGN/EEs. We can speculate that the prolonged accumulation of PI(4,5)P₂ on clathrin-coated compartments, and perhaps the lack of PI4P production on these structures, impairs the function of these vesicles. We also observed that PI4P biosensors accumulate in TGNs in the sac9 mutants. We previously found that PI4P biosensors relocalize to PI4P-containing TGNs upon specific depletion of PI4P at the plasma membrane (Simon et al., 2016; Platre et al., 2018). PI4P being the putative product of SAC9 (Williams et al., 2005), it is possible that there is a reduced amount of PI4P at the plasma membrane in this mutant. In that case, the balance of PI4P

between the plasma membrane and the TGN would be affected between these two compartments, which could explain the relocalization of the PI4P sensors to TGN compartments.

Ultrastructural analyses previously revealed that sac9 massively accumulates vesicles, presumably containing cell wall precursors, in close proximity to the irregular cell wall deposition (Vollmer et al., 2011). The finding of these unknown subcortical compartments in sac9 resonates with our confocal microscopy observations of ectopic PI(4,5)P₂-containing vesicles in this mutant. Importantly, we found that these vesicles are not extensively labeled after a short-term FM4-64 treatment. This suggests that these vesicles are accumulating slowly over time in the sac9 mutants and are not actively exchanging membrane materials with the TGN/EEs or the plasma membrane, at least not in the 30 min time frame of the FM4-64 pulse labeling experiment.

<figure><img src="image_13.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 8.** Model for the mode of action of SUPPRESSOR OF ACTIN9 (SAC9) in regulating PI(4,5)P₂ subcellular patterning. In wild-type plants, SAC9 restricts the localization of PI(4,5)P₂ at the plasma membrane allowing endocytic processes to occur. In the absence of SAC9, endocytosis PI(4,5)P₂ accumulates in atypical endomembrane compartments that are no longer able to fuse with the TGN possibly because of their abnormal anionic lipid signature. SAC9 interacts with SH3P2 close to the plasma membrane. The defects in PI(4,5)P₂ patterning in absence of SAC9 leads to decreasing in the endocytic rate and the formation of membrane protuberances in contact with the plasma membrane. Note that in this model, the observed increase in intracellular PI4P levels as measured by probes is not included.</figcaption></figure>

most abundant clathrin-coated vesicles proteome components (Dahhan et al., 2022). Interestingly, in that study, no other 5-phosphatase was identified to be associated with clathrin-coated vesicles. Together, we propose that PI(4,5)P₂ accumulation on endocytic vesicles after scission could lead to an altered dynamics of these vesicles, which may be unable to fuse correctly with TGN/EEs, ultimately leading to their accumulation in the cell cortex (Figure 8).

We observed that the endocytic pathway is partially impaired in the absence of SAC9, and that sac9 was oversensitive to ES9-17-mediated inhibition of endocytosis. In animal cells, membrane protuberances have been reported in cultured cells knocked-out or knock-down for enzymes of PI(4,5)P₂ metabolism (Gurung et al., 2003; Terebiznik et al., 2002; Mochizuki and Takenawa, 1999). These protuberances could therefore be a conserved process affected by disturbed PI(4,5)P₂ homeostasis in both plant and animal cells leading to such plasma membrane distortion. It is not the first observation of plasma membrane protuberances in cells where PI(4,5)P₂ homeostasis is affected: upon PIP5K6 over-expression in pollen tubes, which increases PI(4,5)P₂ levels, plasma membrane invaginations also occurs. The authors elegantly demonstrated that these plasma membrane distortions are due to clathrin-mediated endocytosis defects (Zhao et al., 2010). These structures were also reported when inducible depletion of PI(4,5)P₂ at the plasma membrane of root cells was performed using the iDePP system (Doumane et al., 2021), suggesting that the tight regulation of the PI(4,5)P₂ metabolism is important for the integrity of the plasma membrane. Previous study on the cellular organization of the primary roots of sac9-1 seedlings at ultrastructural level reported the excessive membrane material either in direct contacts or close to the wall forming the protuberances (Vollmer et al., 2011). The irregular cell wall deposition in the sac9 mutant leads to cell wall ingrowths, coined 'whorl-like structures' (Vollmer et al., 2011). We propose that such protuberances could be a readout of long-term endocytic defects, for instance, caused by an excess of plasma membrane due to unbalanced exocytosis. If so, the appearance of plasma membrane protuberances upon PI(4,5)P₂ metabolism perturbation could be an additional indication of disturbed endocytosis.
## How could SAC9 regulate endocytosis?

We observed that the endocytic pathway is partially impaired in the absence of SAC9. We envision several scenarios to explain these endocytic defects. They are not mutually exclusive and ultimately, it would not be surprising if the sac9 endocytic phenotype results from a combination of altered cellular pathways relying, directly or indirectly, on the precise spatio-temporal regulation of anionic lipid homeostasis. First, as mentioned in the paragraph above, the sac9 mutant likely accumulates ectopic vesicle following endocytosis. These vesicles trap membrane components inside the cell, which may overall impact the endocytic process. In addition, it is possible that the localization or dynamics of PI(4,5)P₂ binding proteins, which regulate clathrin-mediated endocytosis, could be impacted, as we observed for SH3P2 and TPLATE (Zhuang et al., 2013; Yperman et al., 2021b; Yperman et al., 2021a). Other proteins from the TPLATE complex also interact with anionic lipids, including PI(4,5)P₂, and could be affected in sac9 (Yperman et al., 2021b; Yperman et al., 2021a). Furthermore, the dynamics of dynamin-related proteins, which contain a lipid-binding plekstrin homology domain, and the AP2 adaptor complex, which relies on PI(4,5)P₂ for localization in planta (Doumane et al., 2021), could also be altered in sac9. It was also recently reported that perturbation of clathrin-containing vesicles at the TGN/EEs also impacts clathrin-mediated endocytosis (and conversely) (Yan et al., 2021). It is thus possible that perturbing phosphoinositides metabolism after the scission of clathrin-coated vesicles from the plasma membrane impacts the dynamics of clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the cell surface in an indirect way, for example, because of slowed recycling of the clathrin pool or other endocytic components at the surface of TGN/EEs.

It is also important to note that bulk endocytosis in general and clathrin-mediated endocytosis in particular are still going-on in the sac9 mutant, albeit at a reduced rate. Thus, while PI(4,5)P₂ strict exclusion from intracellular membranes is important for the endocytic process, the plant membrane trafficking system appears to be extremely resilient, as it manages to operate despite the accumulation of these membranes of mixed identity inside the cell. Here, we can speculate that SAC9 may not be the only 5-phosphatase enzyme that can control PI(4,5)P₂ homeostasis during endocytosis. In addition, while PI(4,5)P₂ is the main phosphoinositide regulating the recruitment of endocytic regulators in animals, it is likely not the case in plants (Marković and Jaillais, 2022). Indeed, PI4P, not PI(4,5)P₂, is the major anionic lipids that powers the plasma membrane electrostatic field (Simon et al., 2016), and is very likely key to recruit endocytic proteins in plants (Yperman et al., 2021b; Yperman et al., 2021a). In addition, phosphatidic acid (PA) is also important to drive the electrostatic field of the plasma membrane (Platre et al., 2018) and PA could be involved in the localization of AtEH1/Pan1, a component of the TPLATE complex (Yperman et al., 2021a; Dragwidge et al., 2022).

## Limitation of the study

SAC9 was previously proposed to act as a PI(4,5)P₂ 5-phosphatase in planta, mainly because the sac9 mutant accumulates PI(4,5)P₂ (Williams et al., 2005). We found an accumulation of PI(4,5)P₂ sensors inside the cells in sac9, which is fully consistent for a 5-phosphatase enzyme. However, we could not confirm this activity in vitro. This is mainly due to problems in purifying SAC9 catalytic domain in sufficient quantity. Yet, it represents a weakness of our study that we should keep in mind. Indeed, although this is not the most parsimonious explanation, it is possible that SAC9 is not a 5-phosphatase and that instead, it controls the localization or activity of another enzyme bearing this catalytic activity. Nonetheless, the fact that the putative catalytically inactive mCIT-SAC9<sup>C459A</sup> fusion protein does not rescue sac9 macroscopic phenotype and PI(4,5)P₂ localization suggests that SAC9 phosphatase activity is required for its function. We showed that the number of BFA bodies labeled with FM4-64 in sac9-3 vs wild-type is reduced. Such reduction may be due to (i) a lower amount of BFA bodies formed per cell (i.e. the number per cell area or volume), (ii) reduced FM4-64 internalization from the cell surface, (iii) defects in the balance between endocytic and exocytic trafficking which alter TGN/EE function, and (iv) a combination of those. In either case, such decrease suggests that membrane trafficking flux through the endosomal system is impacted in sac9.

To explain the endocytic defects observed in the sac9 mutant, we mainly focused on PI(4,5)P₂ mispatterning. However, biochemical measurements also showed that the sac9 mutant accumulates less PI4P than its wild-type counterpart. Given the importance of PI4P for plant cell function (Marković and Jaillais, 2022; Noack et al., 2022; Noack et al., 2020b; Simon et al., 2016), it is possible that PI4P rather than (or in combination with) PI(4,5)P₂ defects are involved in the sac9 phenotypes. Given that
phosphoinositide metabolism is highly intricate, we recognize that it is difficult to fully untangle the specific involvement of each lipid in the observed phenotypes. In addition, the SAC9 protein may carry specific functions outside of its catalytic activity. For example, SAC9 directly interacts with SH3P2, yet the physiological relevance of this interaction for both SAC9 and SH3P2 function remains unclear. Structure-function analyses aiming at dissecting this interaction will be instrumental to clarify this point. Based on confocal imaging, we concluded that the level of plasma membrane-associated SH3P2-sGFP is reduced in the *sac9* mutant. In addition, the overall levels of SH3P2 are not affected in the mutant. Subcellular fractionations and quantitative colocalization analyses between SH3P2-GFP and compartment markers in the *sac9* mutant background will be needed to fully understand how SAC9 impacts SH3P2 localization. In addition, the exact function of SH3P2 in endocytosis is also elusive and it will be important to analyze it in detail in the future (Adamowski et al., 2022). Finally, one of the clear limitations in interpreting the *sac9* phenotype, which is common to most genetic approaches, is the accumulation of defects over a long-time period in the mutant. As such, it is impossible to pin-point toward direct or indirect effects of PI(4,5)P₂ mis-patterning on the cellular and developmental phenotypes of this mutant. Future studies, aiming at rapidly manipulating SAC9 function and localization in an inducible manner will be instrumental in disentangling the direct and indirect effects of SAC9 on lipid dynamics and endocytosis regulation.

# Growth condition and plant materials

*Arabidopsis thaliana* Columbia-0 (Col-0) accession was used as wild-type (WT) reference genomic background throughout this study. *Arabidopsis* seedlings in vitro on half Murashige and Skoog (½ MS)
basal medium supplemented with 0.8% plant agar (pH 5.7) in continuous light conditions at 21 °C. Plants were grown in soil under long-day conditions at 21 °C and 70% humidity 16 hr daylight. Wild-type Col-0 and heterozygous (or homozygous) *sac9-3* were transformed using the dipping method (Clough and Bent, 1998).

For each construct generated in this paper (UBQ10prom: tdTOM-SAC9g/pH, SAC9prom: mCIT-SAC9g/pB, pAtSAC9: mCIT-SAC9gDEAD/pB, SAC9prom: TdTOM-SAC9gDEAD/pH, pAtSAC9: mCIT-SAC9gACC/pB, SH3P2shortprom: SH3P2gDNA-tdTOM, pUb10: SH3P2gDNA-tdTOM), between 20 and 24 independent T1 were selected on antibiotics (Basta or hygromycin) and propagated. In T2, all lines were screened using confocal microscopy for fluorescence signal and localization. Between 3 and 5 independent lines with a mono-insertion and showing a consistent, representative expression level and localization were selected and grown to the next generation. Each selected line was reanalyzed in T3 by confocal microscopy to confirm the results obtained in T2 and to select homozygous plants. At this stage, we selected one representative line for in-depth analysis of the localization and crosses and two representative lines for in-depth analysis of mutant complementation.

## FM4-64 staining and drug treatments

Seedlings were incubated in wells containing 1 µM FM4-64 (Life Technologies T-3166; from a stock solution of 1.645 mM=1 mg/ml in DMSO) in half Murashige and Skoog (½ MS) liquid basal medium without shaking for 30 min and in dark. Seedlings were then mounted in the same medium and imaged within a 10 min time frame window (1 hr ± 5 min).

Seedlings were incubated in wells containing Brefeldin A (BFA; Sigma B7651) applied at 50 µM (from a stock solution of 30 mM in DMSO), or a corresponding volume of DMSO as 'mock' treatment, dissolved in liquid ½ MS for 1 hr in dark without shaking before mounting in the same medium and imaging. For co-treatment with 50 µM BFA and 1 µM FM4-64, FM4-64, and BFA were added at the same time. Imaging was performed within a 14 min time frame window (1 hr ± 7 min).

For PAO treatment, seedlings were incubated in wells containing 30 µM PAO (Sigma P3075, https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/IN/en, PAO stock solution at 60 mM in DMSO), or a volume of DMSO as mock treatment, during the indicated time. Roots were imaged within a 10 min time frame window around the indicated time. The PAO effects on the localization of the biosensors were analyzed by counting manually the number of labeled compartments per cell.

ES9-17 was stored at -20 °C as a 30 mM stock solution in DMSO. Seedlings were incubated in dark without shaking for the indicated duration (± 7 min) in liquid ¼ MS (pH 5.7) in wells containing 1% DMSO to help solubilization of ES9-17, and either 1 µM ES9-17 or the corresponding additional volume of DMSO (mock treatment). For 1 µM ES9-17 and 1 µM FM4-64, FM4-64 was added 30 min after the ES9-17 (the indicated time corresponds to ES9-17 exposure).

## Western blot

To verify that both TPLATE and SH3P2 fusion proteins were both identically expressed in wild-type and *sac9*, 10-day-old seedlings were grind in liquid nitrogen, weighed, and resuspended in 1 ml of extraction buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 5% glycerol, 10 mM DTT, 0.5% Triton X-100, 1% Igepal, and 1% protease inhibitors (Sigma) into milliQ water) and centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C to obtain the total protein extract in the supernatant. The total protein extract was then filtered on column and 100 µl of the filtrate denatured with 50 µl of Lamelli buffer 3 x at 95 °C for 5 min. 40 µl of the total protein extract was loaded onto 7.5% polyacrylamide gel, run for 120 min at 120 V and blotted on nitrocellulose membranes 2 hr, 100 V on ice. Membrane was then incubated 5 min in red-ponceau buffer, washed with milliQ water, and imaged. Then membranes were blocked in 5% milk dissolved in TBST buffer (10 mM Tris-HCL, 150 mM NaCL, 0.05% Tween20) for 1 hr. mCIT tagged proteins were revealed by using, respectively, GFP monoclonal antibody (anti-GFP mouse monoclonal, Roche; at 1/1000 in 5% milk over-night) as primary antibodies and anti-mousse IgG-HRP conjugated secondaries antibodies (Mouse IgG, HRP conjugate W402B, Promega; 1/5000 in TBST, 4 hr). As a loading control, we used anti-tubulinα antibodies as primary antibodies (1/1000 in 5% milk over-night). Finally tagged proteins were detected by chemiluminescence using ECL, substrate to HRP enzyme, revelation.
Transient expression in N. benthamiana

The AtSH3P2-GFP constructs were described previously (Leong et al., 2022). The binary plasmid was transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C58C1 and transient expression of the construct was performed by infiltration of N. benthamiana leaves at the four-to six-leaf stage.

Immunoprecipitation

To verify that SAC9 fusion proteins were present in the plant cells, leaves from 1-month-old plants were ground in liquid nitrogen, weighed, and resuspended in 1 ml of extraction buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 5% glycerol, 10 mM DTT, 0.5% Triton X-100, 1% Igepal, 100 µM MG132 and 1% protease inhibitors (Sigma) into milliQ water) and centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C to obtain the total protein extract in the supernatant. The total protein extract was then filtered on column, and incubated 40 min with 50 µl of magnetic protein G Dynabeads (Millipore) fused to a GFP monoclonal antibody (1/500 in PBS 0.002% tween). Beads, antibodies, and antibodies bund proteins were magnetically precipitated on columns, eluted and denatured in 40 µl of Laemmli buffer 2x at 95 °C for 5 min. 20 µl of the immunoprecipitation was loaded, blotted on nitrocellulose membranes, incubated in red-ponceau buffer and blocked in 5% milk as previously described. Tagged SAC9 fusion proteins were revealed by using GFP monoclonal antibody (anti-GFP mouse monoclonal, Roche) and detected by chemiluminescence using ECL revelation as for TPLATE and SH3P2 fusion proteins.

Pull-down assays in *N. benthamiana* using GFP-Trap assays were performed as previously described (Leong *et al.*, 2022). For immunoblot analysis, protein extracts were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes (Biorad), blocked with 5% skimmed milk in TBS, and incubated with primary antibodies anti-GFP-HRP (SantaCruz) antibody using 1:2000 dilutions in TBS containing 0.1% Tween 20. The immunoreaction was developed using an ECL Prime Kit (GE Healthcare) and detected with Amersham Imager 680 blot and gel imager.

Mass spectrometry data analysis

Proteins in the *N. benthamiana* proteome corresponding to the peptide hits were identified according to the annotated proteome (Kourelis *et al.*, 2019a). The proteins were submitted to BLAST (Sayers *et al.*, 2022) to identify their isoform(s) in the *A. thaliana* proteome (Cheng *et al.*, 2017). The dataset containing the *A. thaliana* protein ID and peptide counts were submitted to the R package IPinquiry4 (https://github.com/hzuber67/IPinquiry4; Zuber, 2020) which uses a Genewise Negative Bino-mial Generalized Linear Model developed by EdgeR to calculate the log fold-change (log(FC)) and log10(p-value).

NanoLC-MS/MS analysis and data processing

Proteins were purified on an NuPAGE 12% gel (Invitrogen) and Coomassie-stained gel pieces were digested in gel with trypsin as described previously (Borchert et al., 2010) with a small modification: chloroacetamide was used instead of iodoacetamide for carbamidomethylation of cysteine residues to prevent the formation of lysine modifications isobaric to two glycine residues left on ubiquitinated lysine after tryptic digestion. After desalting using C18 Stage tips peptide mixtures were run on an Easy-nLC 1200 system coupled to a Q Exactive HF-X mass spectrometer (both Thermo Fisher Scientific) as described elsewhere (Kliza et al., 2017) with slight modifications: the peptide mixtures were separated using a 87-min segmented gradient from 10-33-50 to 90% of HPLC solvent B (80% acetonitrile in 0.1% formic acid) in HPLC solvent A (0.1% formic acid) at a flow rate of 200 nl/min. The seven most intense precursor ions were sequentially fragmented in each scan cycle using higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD) fragmentation. In all measurements, sequenced precursor masses were excluded from further selection for 30 s. The target values were 105 charges for MS/MS fragmentation and 3 × 106 charges for the MS scan.

Acquired MS spectra were processed with MaxQuant software package version 1.5.2.8 with integrated Andromeda search engine. Database search was performed against a *Nicotiana benthamiana* database containing 74,802 protein entries. Endoprotease trypsin was defined as protease with a maximum of two missed cleavages. Oxidation of methionine, phosphorylation of serine, threonine and tyrosine, GlyGly dipetide on lysine residues, and N-terminal acetylation were specified as variable modifications. Carbamidomethylation on cysteine was set as fixed modification. Initial maximum
allowed mass tolerance was set to 4.5 parts per million (ppm) for precursor ions and 20 ppm for fragment ions. Peptide, protein, and modification site identifications were reported at a false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.01, estimated by the target-decoy approach (Elias and Gygi). The iBAQ (Intensity Based Absolute Quantification) and LFQ (Label-Free Quantification) algorithms were enabled, as was the 'match between runs' option (Schwanhäusser et al., 2011).

## Live cell imaging

Most images (see exceptions below) were acquired with the following spinning disk confocal microscope set up: inverted Zeiss microscope (AxioObserver Z1, Carl Zeiss Group, http://www.zeiss.com/) equipped with a spinning disk module (CSU-W1-T3, Yokogawa, https://www.yokogawa.com/) and a ProEM +1024 B camera (Princeton Instrument, http://www.princetoninstruments.com/) or Camera Prime 95B (https://www.photometrics.com/) using a 63 x Plan-Apochromat objective (numerical aperture 1.4, oil immersion). GFP and mCITRINE was excited with a 488 nm laser (150 mW) and fluorescence emission was filtered by a 525/50 nm BrightLine! single-band bandpass filter (Semrock, http://www-semrock.com/), mCHERRY en TdTOM was excited with a 561 nm laser (80 mW) and fluorescence emission was filtered by a 609/54 nm BrightLine! single-band bandpass filter (Semrock, http://www-semrock.com/). For quantitative imaging, pictures of epidermal root meristem cells were taken with detector settings optimized for low background and no pixel saturation. Care was taken to use similar confocal settings when comparing fluorescence intensity or for quantification.

Colocalization experiments were performed on an inverted Zeiss CLSM710 confocal microscope or an inverted Zeiss CLSM800 confocal microscope and inverted Zeiss CLSM980 confocal microscope using a 63 x Plan-apochromatic objective. Dual-color images were acquired by sequential line switching, allowing the separation of channels by both excitation and emission. In the case of colocalization, we also controlled for a complete absence of channel crosstalk. GFP was excited with a 488 nm laser, mCIT was excited with a 515 nm laser and mCH/tdTOM were excited with a 561 nm laser. Imaging was performed in the root epidermis in cells that are at the onset of elongation. Only cells imaged at their Zi were considered for the colocalization analysis.

## Yeast two-hybrid screen

The yeast two-hybrid screen was performed by hybrigenics services (https://www.hybrigenics-services.com/contents/our-services/interaction-discovery/ultimate-y2h-2), using the ULTIMate Y2H screen against their Universal *Arabidopsis* Normalized library obtained using oligo_dT.

The screen was performed on 0.5 mM 3AT. 59 million interactions were analyzed, and 260 positive clones were sequenced (ATNOR_dT_hgx4515v1_pB66, Supplementary file 1B).

## TIRF imaging

3 days old etiolated seedlings were used for hypocotyl epidermal cells observations. TIRF-VAEM imaging was made using an ilas2 TIRF microscope (Roper Scientific) with 100 x Apo NA 1.46 Oil objective and a Prime 95B camera (Photometrics, https://www.photometrics.com/) and 1.5 coverslips were
used (VWR 61–0136). Time lapses were acquired during 300 time-points for 300 s (acquisition time 500 ms). Spot density was measured using Spot detector ImageJ macro (Bayle et al., 2017). Since the data below 5 s and beyond 70 s exceeds the typical lifetime of the clathrin-coated vesicle at the plasma membrane, we removed them from the analysis.

Because manual verification of TPLATE-GFP lifetimes is greatly limited by the number of CCVs that can be detected, particle identification and tracking were performed using ImageJ plugin Trackmate (https://research.pasteur.fr/fr/software/trackmate/). Trajectories were reconstructed following a three-stage workflow: (i) detection of peaks potentially associated with fluorescent emitters, (ii) quality test and estimation of the subpixel position, and (iii) track reconnection. To discriminate between signal and background, particular attention has been paid to the size and shape of the observable objects. Particle of minimum size 0.5 with a threshold of 50 and a contrast >0.04 was filtered, to capture as many spots as possible without background. For many reasons, such as variation in fluorescent intensity, loss of focus or photobleaching, the emitter can be missing for several time points causing the premature stop of tracks. Therefore, the maximum number of frames separating two detections was set to three frames (Bayle et al., 2021). As a final verification, a visual inspection of the tracks can be performed on a reconstituted image, where all the tracks from a movie are represented.

2000 tracks were selected per acquisition starting from frame 5 to avoid segmenting truncated tracks. Acquisition was made on seven hypocotyl cells from three different plants per genotype and per replicate.

## Dissociation indexes

Dissociation indexes of membrane lipid fluorescent biosensors were measured and calculated as previously described (Platre et al., 2018). Briefly, we calculated 'indexNoDex, defined as the ratio between the fluorescence intensity (Mean Grey Value function of Fiji software) measured in two elliptical regions of interest (ROIs) from the plasma membrane region (one at the apical/basal plasma membrane region and one in the lateral PM region) and two elliptical ROIs in the cytosol in the mock condition. For quantification, we used FAPP-E50A as a positive control, since the delocalization of a biosensor from the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm helps us to use automatic tools.

## Measures, counting, and statistical analysis

Primary root length and number of lateral roots were manually measured from pictures. For comparing the primary root length and lateral root density between each genotype, we used a one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey HSD pairwise tests (95% confidence level).

For quantitative imaging, pictures of epidermal root meristem cells were taken with detector settings optimized for low background and no pixel saturation. Care was taken to use similar confocal settings when comparing fluorescence intensity. Pseudo-colored images were obtained using the 'Green Fire Blue' look-up-table (LUT) of Fiji software (http://www.fiji.sc/). The intracellular compartments ('spots') per cell were automatically counted.

We automatically measured the density of intracellular compartments labeled per root using the procedure described in Bayle et al., 2017 for each biosensor, and we used two-sided non-parametric Wilcoxon rank-sum tests to compare Col-0 and sac9-3⁻/⁻ genotypes in Figure 4. To account for multiple testing, we used a Bonferroni correction and lowered the significance level of each test at alpha = 0.05/11=0.004.

To assess the effect of the inhibitor PAO on anomalous mCIT-TUBBYc intracellular compartments, we manually counted their number per cell. We tested PAO effect and the effect of treatment duration (30 min and 2 hr) on the number of marked intracellular compartments using a generalized linear mixed-effect model (Poisson family) to account for image ID as a random factor. Two-sided post-hoc tests were performed using the R package 'lsmears' (Lenth, 2016). We compared the number of FM4-64 positive compartments in Col-0 and sac9-3⁻/⁻ using a generalized linear mixed model (Poisson family) to account for image ID (id est root) as a random factor.

The density of FM4-64 labeled compartments was also compared in Col-0 and sac9-3⁻/⁻ using a linear mixed model accounting for image ID as a random factor, followed by a Wald $\chi^2$ test (function Anova in R package 'car').

To compare the effects of BFA on FM4-64, we tried to automatically count the number and size of the BFA bodies in Col-0 and sac9-3⁻/⁻ seedlings, but the analysis was not optimal to treat the images
acquired for sac9-3. We, therefore, manually counted the number of BFA body per cell in multiple samples, using the same region of the root. We then compared the results of the BFA treated Col-0 and sac9-3⁻/⁻ seedlings using a generalized linear mixed model (Poisson family) with image ID (id est root) as a random factor (Wald χ² test: χ² = 33.8, p<0.001). To compare the effects of BFA on Col-0 and sac9-3⁻/⁻ seedlings expressing PIN2-GFP, we counted manually and compared the treatments BFA-Col-0 with BFA-Sac9-3 using a generalized linear mixed model (Poisson family) with image ID (id est root) as a random factor (Wald χ² test: χ² = 42.1, p<0.001). For the dissociation index analysis, we performed all our statistical analyses in R v. 3.6.1, (R Development Core Team, 2019), using R studio interface and the packages ggplot2 (Wickham, 2016), lme4 (Bates et al., 2014), car (Fox and Weisberg, 2018), multcomp (Hothorn et al., 2008) and lsmeans (Lenth and Lenth, 2018). To compare TPLATE-GFP density between Col-0 and sac9-3⁻/⁻, we used a two-sided non-parametric Kruskal Wallis rank-sum tests for each replicate and obtained each time a statistical difference (p value <0.05 between the two genotypes). Graphs were obtained with R and R-studio software using the package 'ggplot2,' and customized with Inkscape (https://inkscape.org).

## Quantification of mCIT-SAC9 compartment densities and colocalization with compartments markers

Because the signal of mCIT-SAC9 is mainly diffused in the cytosol, no automatic spot detection could be used for quantification of densities and colocalization analyses in Figures 2, 3 and 6. Therefore, for comparing the number of intracellular compartments containing mCIT-SAC9 or mCIT-SAC9C459A protein-fusions per cell across conditions, we manually counted them and used either a generalized linear mixed-effect model (Poisson family) for counting comparisons or a linear mixed effect model (and associated ANOVAs) for density comparisons, accounting for image ID (id est root) as a random factor.

Since the localization of the marker for the membrane compartment was larger in z compared to the restricted localization of SAC9 (only present close to the surface of the cell), we counted the number of mCIT-SAC9 labeled structures which were also labeled by the compartment markers in the cell cortex (Zi plane). The percentage of endosomes labeled by mCIT-SAC9 or mCIT-SAC9C459A colocalizing with a given marker, counted manually are presented in the graphs. Positive colocalization was called when the compartment marker was present as a dotted structure overlaying the mCIT-SAC9 signal.

The same approach was used to deduce the localization of the mutated version of SAC9. After running our mixed models, we subsequently computed two-sided Tukey post hoc tests (function glht in R package 'multcomp,' Hothorn et al., 2008) to specifically compare each pair of conditions.
