Project description:Nature has evolved elaborate, dynamic organelle morphologies for optimal organelle functions. Among them, cisternae stacks are the universal structure for most organelles. However, compared with the well-studied spherical cell/organelle membrane mimic, the fabrication of the ubiquitously present cisternal organelle-like membrane structures for organelle mimic remains a challenging task. Herein, rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)-like helicoidal cisternae stacks were assembled to mimic the enzyme crowded environment in spatially confined RER cisternae. RER-like single helicoid, multiple helicoids, and secondary helix are all observed. Membrane electrostatics drives their formation and controls the percentages, which indicates the possible role of membrane electrostatics in RER shaping. The organelle-like cisternae stacks can reversibly expand and compress, which provides modulated crowded or de-crowded enzyme environment for biochemical reactions. This work provides advanced membrane models, and novel mechanisms for organelle shaping and helicoids formation, and holds great potential in biomimetics, cell biology, and advanced materials design.

Project description:Pancreatic beta cells have well-developed ER to accommodate for the massive production and secretion of insulin. ER homeostasis is vital for normal beta cell function. Perturbation of ER homeostasis contributes to beta cell dysfunction in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. To systematically identify the molecular machinery responsible for proinsulin biogenesis and maintenance of beta cell ER homeostasis, a widely used mouse pancreatic beta cell line, MIN6 cell was used to purify rough ER. Two different purification schemes were utilized. In each experiment, the ER pellets were solubilized and analyzed by 1D SDS-PAGE coupled with HPLC-MS/MS. A total of 1467 proteins were identified in three experiments with ?95% confidence, among which 1117 proteins were found in at least two separate experiments and 737 proteins found in all three experiments. GO analysis revealed a comprehensive profile of known and novel players responsible for proinsulin biogenesis and ER homeostasis. Further bioinformatics analysis also identified potential beta cell specific ER proteins as well as ER proteins present in the risk genetic loci of type 2 diabetes. This dataset defines a molecular environment in the ER for proinsulin synthesis, folding and export and laid a solid foundation for further characterizations of altered ER homeostasis under diabetes-causing conditions. All MS data have been deposited in the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD001081 (http://proteomecentral.proteomexchange.org/dataset/PXD001081).

Project description:Molecular mechanisms underlying Ca(2+) regulation by perinuclear endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) cisternae in cardiomyocytes remain obscure. To investigate the mechanisms of changes in cardiac calsequestrin (CSQ2) trafficking on perinuclear Ca(2+) signaling, we manipulated the subcellular distribution of CSQ2 by overexpression of CSQ2-DsRed, which specifically accumulates in the perinuclear rough ER. Adult ventricular myocytes were infected with adenoviruses expressing CSQ2-DsRed, CSQ2-WT, or empty vector. We found that perinuclear enriched CSQ2-DsRed, but not normally distributed CSQ2-WT, enhanced nuclear Ca(2+) transients more potently than cytosolic Ca(2+) transients. Overexpression of CSQ2-DsRed produced more actively propagating Ca(2+) waves from perinuclear regions than did CSQ2-WT. Activities of the SR/ER Ca(2+)-ATPase and ryanodine receptor type 2, but not inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 2, were required for the generation of these perinuclear initiated Ca(2+) waves. In addition, CSQ2-DsRed was more potent than CSQ2-WT in inducing cellular hypertrophy in cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes. Our data demonstrate for the first time that CSQ2 retention in the rough ER/perinuclear region promotes perinuclear Ca(2+) signaling and predisposes to ryanodine receptor type 2-mediated Ca(2+) waves from CSQ2-enriched perinuclear compartments and myocyte hypotrophy. These findings provide new insights into the mechanism of CSQ2 in Ca(2+) homeostasis, suggesting that rough ER-localized Ca(2+) stores can operate independently in raising levels of cytosolic/nucleoplasmic Ca(2+) as a source of Ca(2+) for Ca(2+)-dependent signaling in health and disease.

Project description:Production and trafficking of proteins entering the secretory pathway of eukaryotic cells is coordinated at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a process that begins with protein translocation via the membrane-embedded ER translocon. The same complex is also responsible for the co-translational integration of membrane proteins and orchestrates polypeptide modifications that are often essential for protein function. We now show that the previously identified inhibitor of ER-associated degradation (ERAD) eeyarestatin 1 (ES(I)) is a potent inhibitor of protein translocation. We have characterised this inhibition of ER translocation both in vivo and in vitro, and provide evidence that ES(I) targets a component of the Sec61 complex that forms the membrane pore of the ER translocon. Further analyses show that ES(I) acts by preventing the transfer of the nascent polypeptide from the co-translational targeting machinery to the Sec61 complex. These results identify a novel effect of ES(I), and suggest that the drug can modulate canonical protein transport from the cytosol into the mammalian ER both in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:Misfolded secretory proteins are transported across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane into the cytosol for degradation by proteasomes. A large fraction of proteasomes in a cell is associated with the ER membrane. We show here that binding of proteasomes to ER membranes is salt sensitive, ATP dependent, and mediated by the 19S regulatory particle. The base of the 19S particle, which contains six AAA-ATPases, binds to microsomal membranes with high affinity, whereas the 19S lid complex binds weakly. We demonstrate that ribosomes and proteasomes compete for binding to the ER membrane and have similar affinities for their receptor. Ribosomes bind to the protein conducting channel formed by the Sec61 complex in the ER membrane. We co-precipitated subunits of the Sec61 complex with ER-associated proteasome 19S particles, and found that proteoliposomes containing only the Sec61 complex retained proteasome binding activity. Collectively, our data suggest that the Sec61 channel is a principal proteasome receptor in the ER membrane.

Project description:Translocon clogging at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as a result of translation stalling triggers ribosome UFMylation, activating Translocation-Associated Quality Control (TAQC) to degrade clogged substrates. How cells sense ribosome UFMylation to initiate TAQC is unclear. We conduct a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen to identify an uncharacterized membrane protein named SAYSD1 that facilitates TAQC. SAYSD1 associates with the Sec61 translocon, and also recognizes both ribosome and UFM1 directly, engaging a stalled nascent chain to ensure its transport via the TRAPP complex to lysosomes for degradation. Like UFM1 deficiency, SAYSD1 depletion causes the accumulation of translocation-stalled proteins at the ER and triggers ER stress. Importantly, disrupting UFM1- and SAYSD1-dependent TAQC in Drosophila leads to intracellular accumulation of translocation-stalled collagens, defective collagen deposition, abnormal basement membranes, and reduced stress tolerance. Thus, SAYSD1 acts as a UFM1 sensor that collaborates with ribosome UFMylation at the site of clogged translocon, safeguarding ER homeostasis during animal development.

Project description:Protein biogenesis at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in eukaryotic cells is monitored by a protein quality control system named ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD). While there has been substantial progress in understanding how ERAD eliminates defective polypeptides generated from erroneous folding, how cells remove nascent chains stalled in the translocon during co-translational protein insertion into the ER is unclear. Here we show that ribosome stalling during protein translocation induces the attachment of UFM1, a ubiquitin-like modifier, to two conserved lysine residues near the COOH-terminus of the 60S ribosomal subunit RPL26 (uL24) at the ER. Strikingly, RPL26 UFMylation enables the degradation of stalled nascent chains, but unlike ERAD or previously established cytosolic ribosome-associated quality control (RQC), which uses proteasome to degrade their client proteins, ribosome UFMylation promotes the targeting of a translocation-arrested ER protein to lysosomes for degradation. RPL26 UFMylation is upregulated during erythroid differentiation to cope with increased secretory flow, and compromising UFMylation impairs protein secretion, and ultimately hemoglobin production. We propose that in metazoan, co-translational protein translocation into the ER is safeguarded by a UFMylation-dependent protein quality control mechanism, which when impaired causes anemia in mice and abnormal neuronal development in humans.

Project description:Selective small-molecule inhibitors represent powerful tools for the dissection of complex biological processes. ES(I) (eeyarestatin I) is a novel modulator of ER (endoplasmic reticulum) function. In the present study, we show that in addition to acutely inhibiting ERAD (ER-associated degradation), ES(I) causes production of mislocalized polypeptides that are ubiquitinated and degraded. Unexpectedly, our results suggest that these non-translocated polypeptides promote activation of the UPR (unfolded protein response), and indeed we can recapitulate UPR activation with an alternative and quite distinct inhibitor of ER translocation. These results suggest that the accumulation of non-translocated proteins in the cytosol may represent a novel mechanism that contributes to UPR activation.

Project description:Most eukaryotic secretory proteins are cotranslationally translocated through Sec61 into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Because these proteins have evolved to fold in the ER, their mistargeting is associated with toxicity. Genetic experiments have implicated the ER heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) Hspa13/STCH as involved in processing of nascent secretory proteins. Herein, we evaluate the role of Hspa13 in protein import and the maintenance of cellular proteostasis in human cells, primarily using the human embryonic kidney 293T cell line. We find that Hspa13 interacts primarily with the Sec61 translocon and its associated factors. Hspa13 overexpression inhibits translocation of the secreted protein transthyretin, leading to accumulation and aggregation of immature transthyretin in the cytosol. ATPase-inactive mutants of Hspa13 further inhibit translocation and maturation of secretory proteins. While Hspa13 overexpression inhibits cell growth and ER quality control, we demonstrate that HSPA13 knockout destabilizes proteostasis and increases sensitivity to ER disruption. Thus, we propose that Hspa13 regulates import through the translocon to maintain both ER and cytosolic protein homeostasis.

Project description:Aim and experimental set-up: Sequencing of small RNA from total RNA fractions. The aim of this experiment was to compare profiles of miRNA expression between the following genetic backgrounds: Col-0 (wild type), era1-2 (farnesyl transferase mutant), j2-2/j3-2 + pJ3:J3 (j2/j3 double knockout expressing transgenic J3 under the control of the endogenous J3 promoter), j2-2/j3-2 + pJ3:J3C417S (j2/j3 double knockout expressing transgenic J3 mutated in the farnesylation site (C417S) under the control of the endogenous J3 promoter). Seedlings were grown under sterile conditions for 16 days. Two biological replicates of each genotype were harvested, and total RNA was prepared by Trizol extraction. Small RNA libraries were constructed using NEBNext Small RNA Library Prep Set and sequenced on an Illumina platform. Sequencing of small RNA bound to AGO1 in membrane fractions The aim of this experiment was to characterize AGO1-bound small RNAs in membrane fractions, and to answer two specific questions: Can miRNAs be identified whose association with membrane-bound AGO1 is different between the following four genotypes: Col-0 (wild type), era1-2 (farnesyl transferase mutant), j2-2/j3-2 + pJ3:J3 (j2/j3 double knockout expressing transgenic J3 under the control of the endogenous J3 promoter), j2-2/j3-2 + pJ3:J3C417S (j2/j3 double knockout expressing transgenic J3 mutated in the farnesylation site (C417S) under the control of the endogenous J3 promoter) Is the ratio between reads matching miRNA and miRNA* different between the above four genotypes? Seedlings were grown under sterile conditions for 16 days. Two biological replicates of each genotype were harvested. Microsomes were prepared from 2g of seedling tissue, solubilized by 1% deoxycholate and AGO1 was immunoprecipitated with specific antibodies (Agrisera). Immunopurified AGO1 was eluted from Protein A sepharose beads by competitive elution with antigenic AGO1 peptide. Small RNA was extracted by Trizol extraction from eluted AGO1. Small RNA libraries were constructed using NEBNext Small RNA Library Prep Set and sequenced on an Illumina platform.
