The preemptive quality control (pQC) pathway protects cells from acute endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by attenuating translocation of nascent proteins despite their targeting to translocons at the ER membrane. Here, we investigate the hypothesis that the DnaJ protein p58IPK plays an essential role in this process via HSP70 recruitment to the cytosolic face of translocons for extraction of translocationally attenuated nascent chains. Our analyses revealed that the heightened stress sensitivity of p58−/− cells was not due to an impairment of the pQC pathway or elevated ER substrate burden during acute stress. Instead, the lesion was in the protein processing capacity of the ER lumen, where p58IPK was found to normally reside in association with BiP. ER lumenal p58IPK could be coimmunoprecipitated with a newly synthesized secretory protein in vitro and stimulated protein maturation upon overexpression in cells. These results identify a previously unanticipated location for p58IPK in the ER lumen where its putative function as a cochaperone explains the stress-sensitivity phenotype of knockout cells and mice.

Sequential mannose trimming of N-glycan (Man9GlcNAc2 -> Man8GlcNAc2 -> Man7GlcNAc2) facilitates endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation of misfolded glycoproteins (gpERAD). Our gene knockout experiments in human HCT116 cells have revealed that EDEM2 is required for the first step. However, it was previously shown that purified EDEM2 exhibited no α1,2-mannosidase activity toward Man9GlcNAc2 in vitro. Here, we found that EDEM2 was stably disulfide-bonded to TXNDC11, an endoplasmic reticulum protein containing five thioredoxin (Trx)-like domains. C558 present outside of the mannosidase homology domain of EDEM2 was linked to C692 in Trx5, which solely contains the CXXC motif in TXNDC11. This covalent bonding was essential for mannose trimming and subsequent gpERAD in HCT116 cells. Furthermore, EDEM2-TXNDC11 complex purified from transfected HCT116 cells converted Man9GlcNAc2 to Man8GlcNAc2(isomerB) in vitro. Our results establish the role of EDEM2 as an initiator of gpERAD, and represent the first clear demonstration of in vitro mannosidase activity of EDEM family proteins.

Abstract The mechanism of cell transformation by Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is incompletely understood. The most prevalent activated mutant FLT3 ITD exhibits an altered signaling quality, including strong activation of the STAT5 transcription factor. FLT3 ITD has also been found partially retained as a high-mannose precursor in an intracellular compartment. To analyze the role of intracellular retention of FLT3 for transformation, we have generated FLT3 versions that are anchored in the perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by appending an ER retention sequence containing a RRR (R3) motif. ER retention of R3, but not of corresponding A3 FLT3 versions, is shown by biochemical, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and immunocytochemical analyses. ER anchoring reduced global autophosphorylation and diminished constitutive activation of ERK1/2 and AKT of the constitutively active FLT3 versions. ER anchoring was, however, associated with elevated signaling to STAT3. Transforming activity of the FLT3 D835Y mutant was suppressed by ER anchoring. In contrast, ER-anchored FLT3 ITD retained STAT5-activating capacity and was transforming in vitro and in vivo. The findings highlight another aspect of the different signaling quality of FLT3 ITD: It can transform cells from an intracellular location.

Genome-wide screening for sensitivity to chronic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced by dithiothreitol and tunicamycin (TM) identified mutants deleted for Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) function (SOD1, CCS1) or affected in NADPH generation via the pentose phosphate pathway (TKL1, RPE1). TM-induced ER stress led to an increase in cellular superoxide accumulation and an increase in SOD1 expression and Sod1p activity. Prior adaptation of the hac1 mutant deficient in the unfolded protein response (UPR) to the superoxide-generating agent paraquat reduced cell death under ER stress. Overexpression of the ER oxidoreductase Ero1p known to generate hydrogen peroxide in vitro, did not lead to increased superoxide levels in cells subjected to ER stress. The mutants lacking SOD1, TKL1, or RPE1 exhibited decreased UPR induction under ER stress. Sensitivity of the sod1 mutant to ER stress and decreased UPR induction was partially rescued by overexpression of TKL1 encoding transketolase. These data indicate an important role for SOD and cellular NADP(H) in cell survival during ER stress, and it is proposed that accumulation of superoxide affects NADP(H) homeostasis, leading to reduced UPR induction during ER stress.

Conjugated catecholamines in the circulation and in peripheral tissues were measured together with free catecholamines in an attempt to investigate whether there are in vivo correlates to a possible biological role of dopamine sulfate suggested by an in vitro finding of direct conversion of dopamine sulfate to free norepinephrine by dopamine β-hydroxylase.Following the strong sympathoadrenergic stimulus of surgical stress accompanied by an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, conjugated dopamine showed a twofold rise in arterial plasma (p < 0.005) together with increases of all free catecholamines (0.005 < p < 0.02), while conjugates of noreprinephrine and epinephrine decreased in the circulation (0.01 < p < 0.05). Measurements of arteriovenous differences have shown that release of conjugated dopamine occurred from the adrenal gland during operation along with free catecholamines. However, the venous outflow of conjugated dopamine from liver and kidney did not exceed its arterial influx. Conjugated dopamine, in contrast with other conjugates, is present in adrenals, liver, small intestine, and kidney with higher concentrations than free dopamine in the adrenals (p < 0.01). After ultracentrifugation, the chromaffin granule fraction of the adrenal medulla (site of dopamine β-hydroxylase) contains large amounts of conjugated dopamine (apparently sulfate) suggesting a selective accumulation of dopamine sulfate as a readily available free norepinephrine precursor during stress.These findings establish major in vivo differences between peripheral conjugated dopamine and conjugates of norepinephrine and epinephrine. They suggest that there may be biological roles for conjugated dopamine beyond that of a dopamine metabolite.

ABSTRACT The ability of the 3A protein of coxsackievirus B (CVB) to inhibit protein secretion was investigated for this study. Here we show that the ectopic expression of CVB 3A blocked the transport of both the glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus, a membrane-bound secretory marker, and the alpha-1 protease inhibitor, a luminal secretory protein, at a step between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi complex. CVB 3A contains a conserved proline-rich region in its N terminus. The importance of this proline-rich region was investigated by introducing Pro-to-Ala substitutions. The mutation of Pro19 completely abolished the ability of 3A to inhibit ER-to-Golgi transport. The mutation of Pro14, Pro17, or Pro20 also impaired this ability, but to a lesser extent. The mutation of Pro18 had no effect. We also investigated the possible importance of this proline-rich region for the function of 3A in viral RNA replication. To this end, we introduced the Pro-to-Ala mutations into an infectious cDNA clone of CVB3. The transfection of cells with in vitro-transcribed RNAs of these clones gave rise to mutant viruses that replicated with wild-type characteristics. We concluded that the proline-rich region in CVB 3A is required for its ability to inhibit ER-to-Golgi transport, but not for its function in viral RNA replication. The functional relevance of the proline-rich region is discussed in light of the proposed structural model of 3A.

Kinetics Of

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a contiguous network of interconnected membrane sheets and tubules. The ER is differentiated into distinct domains, including the peripheral ER and nuclear envelope. Inhibition of two ER proteins, Rtn4a and DP1/NogoA, was previously shown to inhibit the formation of ER tubules in vitro. We show that the formation of ER tubules in vitro also requires a Rab family GTPase. Characterization of the 29 Caenorhabditis elegans Rab GTPases reveals that depletion of RAB-5 phenocopies the defects in peripheral ER structure that result from depletion of RET-1 and YOP-1, the C. elegans homologues of Rtn4a and DP1/NogoA. Perturbation of endocytosis by other means did not affect ER structure; the role of RAB-5 in ER morphology is thus independent of its well-studied requirement for endocytosis. RAB-5 and YOP-1/RET-1 also control the kinetics of nuclear envelope disassembly, which suggests an important role for the morphology of the peripheral ER in this process.

Abstract Background: Glioblastoma (GB - grade IV glioma) is the most aggressive and common cancer of central nervous system with an overall survival of 14-16 months. The GB tumor microenvironment includes cells of the innate immune system identified as glioma-associated microglia/macrophages (GAMs). It is known that between GAMs and GB cells there is a double interaction, but the role of GAMs is still poorly characterized. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein ERp57, also known as PDIA3, is a thiol oxidoreductase with main function related on glycoprotein folding in endoplasmic reticulum. However, PDIA3 shows different functions. In fact, the various subcellular localizations and binding partners of PDIA3 affect numerous physiological processes and diseases: different regulation and modulation of PDIA3 has been reported in multiple pathologies including neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Methods: In the present work, we evaluated in both GB cells and microglia-macrophage cells the expression of PDIA3 using specimens collected after surgical from 18 GB patients. In addition, we studied in vitro microglia-glioma interaction to determine the role of PDIA3 in viability and the activation of both GB and microglia cells. The study was carried using PDIA3-silenced T98G cells and/or using a pharmacological inhibitor of PDIA3 activity (Punicalagin-PUN).Results: We initially investigated the role of the PDIA3 in GB survival by inquiring The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. The results indicated that 352 out of 690 patients reported over-expression of PDIA3, which significantly correlated with a ~55% reduction of overall survival. Subsequently, for the first time, we investigated the PDIA3 expression in the tumor and the nearby parenchyma of 18 GB patients and our data showed a significant upregulation (15% vs 10%) of ERp57/PDIA3 in GAMs of tumor specimens respect the microglia present in parenchyma. In addition, we show that conditioned medium (CMs) obtained from both wild type T98G and PDIA3 silenced T98G induced an activation of microglia cells, but the PDIA3 silenced-T98G CMs significant limited the microglia pro-tumor activation probably through a IL-6-STAT3-PDIA3 dependent mechanism. Conclusion: Our data support the relevant role of PDIA3 expression in GB pathology and link the different activation of microglia to a mechanism a IL-6-STAT3-PDIA3 dependent.

Melatonin has diverse roles as a signaling molecule that activates a number of downstream defense systems against various biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. However, there have been no reports regarding a direct protective role of melatonin against endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Here, we report that exogenous melatonin treatment attenuated ER stress damage by preserving ER structure and enhancing secretory protein folding capacity in response to tunicamycin treatment. Further transgenic experiments indicated that melatonin-deficient snat1 mutant was hypersensitive to ER stress, whereas melatonin-proficient SNAT1 overexpression (OE) was tolerant to ER stress, as evidenced by reduced ion leakage and higher transcript levels of ER chaperones, including luminal binding protein (BIP) 2, BIP3, and CNX1, compared to wild-type controls. Moreover, this melatonin-mediated ER stress tolerance was dependent on the bZIP60 transcription factor and mitogen-activated protein kinase. Our data suggest that melatonin is actively involved in maintaining homeostasis of the ER during normal plant growth, and also has a protective effect against many environmental stressors that induce ER stress.

During mating of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, two nuclei fuse to produce a single diploid nucleus. Two genes,KAR7 and KAR8, were previously identified by mutations that cause defects in nuclear membrane fusion.KAR7 is allelic to SEC71, a gene involved in protein translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum. Two other translocation mutants, sec63-1 andsec72Δ, also exhibited moderate karyogamy defects. Membranes from kar7/sec71Δ andsec72Δ, but not sec63-1, exhibited reduced membrane fusion in vitro, but only at elevated temperatures. Genetic interactions between kar7 andkar5 mutations were suggestive of protein–protein interactions. Moreover, in sec71 mutants, Kar5p was absent from the SPB and was not detected by Western blot or immunoprecipitation of pulse-labeled protein. KAR8 is allelic to JEMI, encoding an endoplasmic reticulum resident DnaJ protein required for nuclear fusion. Overexpression of KAR8/JEM1 (but notSEC63) strongly suppressed the mating defect ofkar2-1, suggesting that Kar2p interacts with Kar8/Jem1p for nuclear fusion. Electron microscopy analysis of kar8mutant zygotes revealed a nuclear fusion defect different fromkar2, kar5, and kar7/sec71mutants. Analysis of double mutants suggested that Kar5p acts before Kar8/Jem1p. We propose the existence of a nuclear envelope fusion chaperone complex in which Kar2p, Kar5p, and Kar8/Jem1p are key components and Sec71p and Sec72p play auxiliary roles.
