Trimeric Structure

Mechanisms for exporting variably sized cargo from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) using the same machinery remain poorly understood. COPII-coated vesicles, which transport secretory proteins from the ER to the Golgi apparatus, are typically 60–90 nm in diameter. However, collagen, which forms a trimeric structure that is too large to be accommodated by conventional transport vesicles, is also known to be secreted via a COPII-dependent process. In this paper, we show that Sec12, a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor for Sar1 guanosine triphosphatase, is concentrated at ER exit sites and that this concentration of Sec12 is specifically required for the secretion of collagen VII but not other proteins. Furthermore, Sec12 recruitment to ER exit sites is organized by its direct interaction with cTAGE5, a previously characterized collagen cargo receptor component, which functions together with TANGO1 at ER exit sites. These findings suggest that the export of large cargo requires high levels of guanosine triphosphate–bound Sar1 generated by Sec12 localized at ER exit sites.

Granule Formation

Packaging of proteins into regulated secretory granules is mediated by the mildly acidic pH of the trans Golgi network and immature secretory granules. This need for an acidic pH indicates that ionic interactions are important. The mouse pancreatic acinar cell contains four major sulfated glycoproteins,including the zymogen granule structural component Muclin. I tested the hypothesis that sulfation and the O-linked glycosylation to which the sulfates are attached are required for normal formation of zymogen granules in the exocrine pancreas. Post-translational processing was perturbed with two chemicals: sodium chlorate was used to inhibit sulfation and benzyl-N-acetyl-α-galactosaminide was used to inhibit O-linked oligosaccharide elongation. Both chemicals resulted in the accumulation in the Golgi region of the cell of large vacuoles that appear to be immature secretory granules, and the effect was much more extensive with benzyl-N-acetyl-α-galactosaminide than chlorate. Both chemical treatments inhibited basal secretion at prolonged chase times, and again benzyl-N-acetyl-α-galactosaminide had a greater effect than chlorate. In addition, benzyl-N-acetyl-α-galactosaminide, but not chlorate, totally inhibited stimulated secretion of newly synthesized proteins. These data provide evidence for a role of sulfated O-linked glycoproteins in protein condensation and maturation of zymogen granules. Under maximal inhibition of O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis, anterograde post-Golgi traffic in the regulated pathway is almost totally shut down, demonstrating the importance of these post-translational modifications in progression of secretory proteins through the regulated pathway and normal granule formation in the pancreatic acinar cell.

Direct Fusion

Secretory proteins exit the ER in transport vesicles that fuse to form vesicular tubular clusters (VTCs) which move along microtubule tracks to the Golgi apparatus. Using the well-characterized in vitro approach to study the properties of Golgi membranes, we determined whether the Golgi enzyme NAGT I is transported to ER/Golgi intermediates. Secretory cargo was arrested at distinct steps of the secretory pathway of a glycosylation mutant cell line, and in vitro complementation of the glycosylation defect was determined. Complementation yield increased after ER exit of secretory cargo and was optimal when transport was blocked at an ER/Golgi intermediate step. The rapid drop of the complementation yield as secretory cargo progresses into the stack suggests that Golgi enzymes are preferentially targeted to ER/Golgi intermediates and not to membranes of the Golgi stack. Two mechanisms for in vitro complementation could be distinguished due to their different sensitivities to brefeldin A (BFA). Transport occurred either by direct fusion of preexisting transport intermediates with ER/Golgi intermediates, or it occurred as a BFA-sensitive and most likely COP I–mediated step. Direct fusion of ER/Golgi intermediates with cisternal membranes of the Golgi stack was not observed under these conditions.

AbstractNeglected tropical diseases (NTDs) share certain traits: they are parasitic infections, prevailing in tropical environments and affecting marginalized sectors of the population. Six NTDs – ascariasis, cysticercosis, echinococcosis, hookworm infection, onchocerciasis and trichuriasis – all of them endemic in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), are analysed in this work. This review aims to discuss key information on the function of excretory/secretory (E/S) proteins from these parasites in their infectivity, pathogeny and diagnosis. The modulation of the host immune system to favour the permanence and survival of the parasite is also discussed. An updated knowledge on the function of E/S molecules in endemic parasitoses in LAC may lead to new approaches for the clinical management and diagnosis of these diseases. In turn, this could allow us to optimize their treatment and make it more affordable – a relevant goal given the economic constraints that the region is facing.

The mechanism of cargo sorting at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) for secretion is poorly understood. We previously reported the involvement of the actin-severing protein cofilin and the Ca2+ ATPase secretory pathway calcium ATPase 1 (SPCA1) in the sorting of soluble secretory cargo at the TGN in mammalian cells. Now we report that cofilin in yeast is required for export of selective secretory cargo at the late Golgi membranes. In cofilin mutant (cof1-8) cells, the cell wall protein Bgl2 was secreted at a reduced rate and retained in a late Golgi compartment, whereas the plasma membrane H+ ATPase Pma1, which is transported in the same class of carriers, reached the cell surface. In addition, sorting of carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) to the vacuole was delayed, and CPY was secreted from cof1-8 cells. Loss of the yeast orthologue of SPCA1 (Pmr1) exhibited similar sorting defects and displayed synthetic sickness with cof1-8. In addition, overexpression of PMR1 restored Bgl2 secretion in cof1-8 cells. These findings highlight the conserved role of cofilin and SPCA1/Pmr1 in sorting of the soluble secretory proteins at the TGN/late Golgi membranes in eukaryotes.
