ABSTRACTER Ca2+ regulates ER-to-Golgi transport machinery. Sustained Ca2+ signaling by inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) leads to depression of cargo export through activation of penta EF hand protein (PEF) ALG-2 which reduces outer COPII coat at ER exit sites (ERES). However, we do not know whether tonic Ca2+ signals during steady-state conditions affect ER export rates and if so by what mechanisms. Here we report that partial depletion of IP3 receptors from NRK epithelial cells causes a marked increase of basal ER export of the transmembrane glycoprotein cargo VSV-G. The increased ER-to-Golgi transport required ALG-2 and was actuated by decreased peflin and increased ALG-2 at ER exit sites (ERES) – a condition previously demonstrated to stimulate COPII-dependent ER export. Upon IP3R depletion the amount of outer coat at ERES increased, the opposite to what occurs during ALG-2-dependent inhibition of secretion during agonist-driven Ca2+ signaling. The increased ER export correlated with reduced spontaneous cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations caused by the reduced number of Ca2+ release channels. IP3R depletion also unexpectedly resulted in partial depletion of ER luminal Ca2+ stores. The low Ca2+ conditions appeared to decrease both ALG-2 and peflin expression levels somewhat, but these were the only detectable expression changes in COPII trafficking machinery and the Ca2+ decrease had no detectable impact on ER stress. We conclude that at steady state, IP3Rs produce tonic Ca2+ signals that suppress the basal rate of ER export by maintaining lower outer coat targeting to ERES.

The Golgi apparatus comprises an enormous array of components that generate its unique architecture and function within cells. Here, we use quantitative fluorescence imaging techniques and ultrastructural analysis to address whether the Golgi apparatus is a steady-state or a stable organelle. We found that all classes of Golgi components are dynamically associated with this organelle, contrary to the prediction of the stable organelle model. Enzymes and recycling components are continuously exiting and reentering the Golgi apparatus by membrane trafficking pathways to and from the ER, whereas Golgi matrix proteins and coatomer undergo constant, rapid exchange between membrane and cytoplasm. When ER to Golgi transport is inhibited without disrupting COPII-dependent ER export machinery (by brefeldin A treatment or expression of Arf1[T31N]), the Golgi structure disassembles, leaving no residual Golgi membranes. Rather, all Golgi components redistribute into the ER, the cytoplasm, or to ER exit sites still active for recruitment of selective membrane-bound and peripherally associated cargos. A similar phenomenon is induced by the constitutively active Sar1[H79G] mutant, which has the additional effect of causing COPII-associated membranes to cluster to a juxtanuclear region. In cells expressing Sar1[T39N], a constitutively inactive form of Sar1 that completely disrupts ER exit sites, Golgi glycosylation enzymes, matrix, and itinerant proteins all redistribute to the ER. These results argue against the hypothesis that the Golgi apparatus contains stable components that can serve as a template for its biogenesis. Instead, they suggest that the Golgi complex is a dynamic, steady-state system, whose membranes can be nucleated and are maintained by the activities of the Sar1–COPII and Arf1–coatomer systems.

AbstractThe endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a key regulator of cellular proteostasis because it controls folding, sorting and degradation of secretory proteins. Much has been learned about how environmentally triggered signaling pathways regulate ER function, but only little is known about local signaling at the ER. The identification of ER-resident signaling molecules will help gain a deeper understanding of the regulation of ER function and thus of proteostasis. Here, we show that leukocyte tyrosine kinase (LTK) is an ER-resident receptor tyrosine kinase. Depletion of LTK as well as its pharmacologic inhibition reduces the number of ER exit sites and slows ER-to-Golgi transport. Furthermore, we show that LTK interacts with and phosphorylates Sec12. Expression of a phosphoablating mutant of Sec12 reduces the efficiency of ER export. Thus, LTK-to-Sec12 signaling represents the first example of an ER-resident signaling module the potential to regulate proteostasis.

ABSTRACTPenta EF-hand (PEF) proteins apoptosis-linked gene 2 (ALG-2) and peflin are cytoplasmic Ca2+ sensors with emerging functions in secretion. Here we demonstrate that adjustment of the ALG-2:peflin expression ratio can modulate ER export rates up or down by 107% of the basal rate. Through their ALG-2 subunit, ALG-2-peflin hetero-oligomers are shown to bind ERES to inhibit ER export of multiple cargo types, including collagen I. Conversely, without peflin, ALG-2 binds ERES to stimulate ER export. In a novel physiological response to sustained, agonist-driven ER Ca2+ signaling, PEF protein rearrangements at ERES alter the COPII outer coat to sharply decrease ER export rates. Though it is assumed that this response is pro-survival in the short term, in highly Ca2+-stressed cells, peflin’s suppressive role promotes pro-apoptotic unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling. Regulation of secretion by PEF protein subcomplexes in response to Ca2+ signals thus impacts cellular decisions relevant to many diseases.

To determine the role of the peripheral chemoreceptors in mediating the hyperpnea associated with acute, nonocclusive inflation of a balloon in the main pulmonary artery of the conscious dog, we performed balloon inflations in awake and lightly anesthetized (chloralose-urethan) dogs before and after a) bilateral carotid body resection (CBR), b) cervical vagotomy (V), and c) after both CBR and V. In the intact awake state, balloon inflation increased VE from a mean of 4.91 to 7.16 1/min, usually within 1.5–2.0 min. Mean arterial PO2 decreased from 82 to 71 Torr and end-tidal PCO2 was reduced by 6 Torr. Arterial PCO2 and pH were unchanged in the steady state (as evidenced by discrete blood samples), even in those dogs in which VE increased up to 7.5 1/min. However, an indwelling PCO2 electrode in the femoral artery demonstrated a consistent transient elevation of arterial PCO2 prior to the steady state regulation. Vagotomy alone did not impair the ability to regulate PCO2 during balloon inflation. In some cases with CBR alone, arterial PCO2 was regulated at control levels in the steady state, but the transient increase during the early phase of balloon inflation was more marked (mean increase, 2 Torr). We conclude that the peripheral chemoreceptors are responsible for a significant component of the dynamic ventilatory behavior during this early phase (1.5–2.0 min) of acute maldistribution of VA/Q.

ABSTRACTSecretory cargo is recognized, concentrated and trafficked from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit sites (ERES) to the Golgi. Cargo export from the ER begins when a series of highly conserved COPII coat proteins accumulate at the ER and regulate the formation of cargo-loaded COPII vesicles. In animal cells, capturing live de novo cargo trafficking past this point is challenging; it has been difficult to discriminate whether cargo is trafficked to the Golgi in a COPII-coated vesicle. Here, we describe a recently developed live-cell cargo export system that can be synchronously released from ERES to illustrate de novo trafficking in animal cells. We found that components of the COPII coat remain associated with the ERES while cargo is extruded into COPII-uncoated, non-ER associated, Rab1 (herein referring to Rab1a or Rab1b)-dependent carriers. Our data suggest that, in animal cells, COPII coat components remain stably associated with the ER at exit sites to generate a specialized compartment, but once cargo is sorted and organized, Rab1 labels these export carriers and facilitates efficient forward trafficking.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.
