The coat protein complex II (COPII) mediates forward trafficking of protein and lipid cargoes from the endoplasmic reticulum. COPII is an ancient and essential pathway in all eukaryotes and COPII dysfunction underlies a range of human diseases. Despite this broad significance, major aspects of COPII trafficking remain incompletely understood. For example, while the biochemical features of COPII vesicle formation are relatively well characterized, much less is known about how the COPII system dynamically adjusts its activity to changing physiologic cues or stresses. Recently, post-transcriptional mechanisms have emerged as a major mode of COPII regulation. Here, we review the current literature on how post-transcriptional events, and especially post-translational modifications, govern the COPII pathway.

Although convergent evidence suggests that proteins destined for export from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are separated from resident ER proteins and are concentrated into transport vesicles, the proteins that regulate this process have remained largely unknown. In a screen for suppressors of mutations in the essential COPII gene SEC13, we identified three genes (BST1, BST2/EMP24, and BST3) that negatively regulate COPII vesicle formation, preventing the production of vesicles with defective or missing subunits. Mutations in these genes slow the secretion of some secretory proteins and cause the resident ER proteins Kar2p and Pdi1p to leak more rapidly from the ER, indicating that these genes are also required for proper discrimination between resident ER proteins and Golgi-bound cargo molecules. The BST1 and BST2/EMP24 genes code for integral membrane proteins that reside predominantly in the ER. Our data suggest that the BST gene products represent a novel class of ER proteins that link the regulation of vesicle coat assembly to cargo sorting.

Abstract Proteins synthesized within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are exported from ER exit sites via coat protein complex II (COPII)-coated vesicles. Although the mechanisms of COPII-vesicle formation at the ER exit sites are highly conserved among species, vertebrate cells secrete a wide range of materials, including collagens and chylomicrons, which form bulky structures within the ER that are too large to fit into conventional carriers. Transport ANd Golgi Organization 1 (TANGO1) was initially identified as a cargo receptor for collagens but has been recently rediscovered as an organizer of ER exit sites. We would like to review recent advances in the mechanism of large cargo secretion and organization of ER exit sites through the function of TANGO1.

The oncogenic Transcription Factor EB (TFEB), a member of MITF-TFE family, is known to be the most important regulator of the transcription of genes responsible for the control of lysosomal biogenesis and functions, autophagy, and vesicles flux. TFEB activation occurs in response to stress factors such as nutrient and growth factor deficiency, hypoxia, lysosomal stress, and mitochondrial damage. To reach the final functional status, TFEB is regulated in multimodal ways, including transcriptional rate, post-transcriptional regulation, and post-translational modifications. Post-transcriptional regulation is in part mediated by miRNAs. miRNAs have been linked to many cellular processes involved both in physiology and pathology, such as cell migration, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. miRNAs also play a significant role in autophagy, which exerts a crucial role in cell behaviour during stress or survival responses. In particular, several miRNAs directly recognise TFEB transcript or indirectly regulate its function by targeting accessory molecules or enzymes involved in its post-translational modifications. Moreover, the transcriptional programs triggered by TFEB may be influenced by the miRNA-mediated regulation of TFEB targets. Finally, recent important studies indicate that the transcription of many miRNAs is regulated by TFEB itself. In this review, we describe the interplay between miRNAs with TFEB and focus on how these types of crosstalk affect TFEB activation and cellular functions.

Human CISD2 and mitoNEET are two NEET proteins anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria membranes respectively, with an Fe–S containing domain stretching out in the cytosol. Their cytosolic domains are close in sequence and structure. In the present study, combining cellular and biochemical approaches, we compared both proteins in order to possibly identify specific roles and mechanisms of action in the cell. We show that both proteins exhibit a high intrinsic stability and a sensitivity of their cluster to oxygen. In contrast, they differ in according to expression profiles in tissues and intracellular half-life. The stability of their Fe–S cluster and its ability to be transferred in vitro are affected differently by pH variations in a physiological and pathological range for cytosolic pH. Finally, we question a possible role for CISD2 in cellular Fe–S cluster trafficking. In conclusion, our work highlights unexpected major differences in the cellular and biochemical features between these two structurally close NEET proteins.

We present herein the pulse-chase analysis of the biosynthesis of the prohormone convertases PC1 and PC2 in the endocrine GH4C1 cells infected with vaccinia virus recombinants expressing these convertases. Characterization of the pulse-labelled enzymes demonstrated that pro-PC1 (88 kDa) is cleaved into PC1 (83 kDa) and pro-PC2 (75 kDa) into PC2 (68 kDa). Secretion of glycosylated and sulphated PC1 (84 kDa) occurs about 30 min after the onset of biosynthesis, whereas glycosylated and sulphated PC2 (68 kDa) is detected in the medium after between 1 and 2 h. Furthermore, in the case of pro-PC2 only, we observed that a fraction of this precursor escapes glycosylation. A small proportion (about 5%) of the intracellular glycosylated pro-PC2 (75 kDa) is sulphated, and it is this glycosylated and sulphated precursor that is cleaved into the secretable 68 kDa form of PC2. Major differences in the carbohydrate structures of PC1 and PC2 are demonstrated by the resistance of the secreted PC1 to endoglycosidase H digestion and sensitivity of the secreted PC2 to this enzyme. Inhibition of N-glycosylation with tunicamycin caused a dramatic intracellular degradation of these convertases within the endoplasmic reticulum, with the net effect of a reduction in the available activity of PC1 and PC2. These results emphasize the importance of N-glycosylation in the folding and stability of PC1 and PC2. Pulse-labelling experiments in uninfected mouse beta TC3 and rat Rin m5F insulinoma cells, which endogenously synthesize PC2, showed that, as in infected GH4C1 cells, pro-PC2 predominates intracellularly. In order to define the site of prosegment cleavage, pulse-chase analysis was performed at low temperature (15 degrees C) or after treatment of GH4C1 cells with either brefeldin A or carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone. These results demonstrated that the onset of the conversions of pro-PC1 into PC1 and non-glycosylated pro-PC2 into PC2 (65 kDa) occur in a pre-Golgi compartment, presumably within the endoplasmic reticulum. In contrast, pulse labelling in the presence of Na(2)35SO4 demonstrated that the processing of glycosylated and sulphated pro-PC2 occurs within the Golgi apparatus. In order to test the possibility that zymogen processing is performed by furin, we co-expressed this convertase with either pro-PC1 or pro-PC2. The data demonstrated the inability of furin to cleave either proenzyme.

AbstractComplex machinery is required to drive secretory cargo export from the endoplasmic reticulum. In vertebrates, this includes transport and Golgi organization protein 1 (TANGO1), encoded by the Mia3 gene. Here, using genome engineering of human cells light microscopy, secretion assays, and proteomics, we show loss of Mia3/TANGO1 results in formation of numerous vesicles and a loss of early secretory pathway integrity. This restricts secretion not only of large proteins like procollagens but of all types of secretory cargo. Our data shows that Mia3/TANGO1 constrains the propensity of COPII to form vesicles promoting instead the formation of the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment. Thus, Mia3/TANGO1 facilities the secretion of complex and high volume cargoes from vertebrate cells.

Pediatric osteosarcoma tumors are characterized by an unusual abundance of grossly dilated endoplasmic reticulum and an immense genomic instability that has complicated identifying new effective molecular therapeutic targets. Here we report a novel molecular signature that encompasses the majority of 108 patient tumor samples, PDXs and osteosarcoma cell lines. These tumors exhibit reduced expression of four critical COPII vesicle proteins that has resulted in the accumulation of procollagen-I protein within ‘hallmark’ dilated ER. Using CRISPR activation technology, increased expression of only SAR1A and SEC24D to physiologically normal levels was sufficient to restore both collagen-I secretion and resolve dilated ER morphology to normal.
