Abstract

As compared with other eukaryotic cells, plants have developed an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi interface with very specific structural characteristics. ER to Golgi and Golgi to ER transport appear not to be dependent on the cytoskeleton, and ER export sites have been found closely associated with Golgi bodies to constitute entire mobile units. However, the molecular machinery involved in membrane trafficking seems to be relatively conserved among eukaryotes. Therefore, a challenge for plant scientists is to determine how these molecular machineries work in a different structural and dynamic organization. This review will focus on some aspects of membrane dynamics that involve coat proteins, SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment receptor proteins), lipids, and lipid-interacting proteins.

Influenza A virus induces PI4P production at the endoplasmic reticulum in an ATG16L1-dependent manner to promote the egress of viral ribonucleoproteins.

The genomic RNAs of influenza A viruses (IAVs) are replicated in the nucleus of infected cells in the form of viral ribonucleoproteins (vRNPs) before being exported to the cytoplasm. The small GTPase RAB11A is involved in the transport of vRNPs to the sites of viral assembly at the plasma membrane, but the molecular mechanisms involved remain largely unknown. Here we show that IAV infection remodels the architecture of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) sheets, where vRNPs tend to accumulate in the absence of RAB11A. To decipher the interplay between RAB11A, vRNPs, and the ER, we investigated viral-induced perturbations of RAB11A proximity interactome. To this end, we generated cells stably expressing a TurboID-RAB11A fusion protein and performed biotin-based proximity labeling upon viral infection. We found that cellular regulators of phophatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) homeostasis, including the autophagic and stress response protein ATG16L1, are significantly enriched at the vicinity of RAB11A in infected cells. Infection induces an increase in cellular PI4P levels in an ATG16L1-dependent manner, while ATG16L1 relocalizes to ER membranes upon infection. Depletion of ATG16L1 decreases the co-distribution of vRNPs with PI4P punctae on ER membranes, and reduces the accumulation of vRNPs at the plasma membrane as well as the production of IAV infectious particles. Our data extend to IAVs the notion that viruses can modulate the metabolism and localization of phosphoinositides to control host membrane dynamics and point to the ER as an essential platform for vRNP transport. They provide evidence for a pivotal role of ATG16L1 in regulating the identity of endomembranes and coordinating RAB11A and PI4P-enriched membranes to ensure delivery of vRNPs to the plasma membrane.

Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi localization sequences for mammalian target of rapamycin.

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) forms two complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2, that play central roles in cell growth and functions. Only mTORC1 is directly inhibited by the immunosuppressive drug rapamycin. Despite recent progress in identifying new components and functions of the mTOR pathway, relatively little is known about the spatial arrangement of mTOR signaling and the underlying mechanisms. In a previous study, we showed that a large proportion of mTOR is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi in many common cell lines. Here, we report the identification of an internal mTOR sequence that contains two HEAT (HT) repeats, HT18 and HT19, and two intervening interunit spacers (IUSs), IUS17 and IUS18, which is sufficient to target enhanced green fluorescent protein to the Golgi. Surprisingly, deletion of IUS17 from this Golgi localization sequence (GLS) converts it to an ER localization sequence (ELS). Deletion of HT19, a common element of both GLS and ELS from the full-length mTOR, causes delocalization of mTOR and inhibits the ability of mTOR to promote S6 phosphorylation. Moreover, overexpression of GLS and ELS inhibits both mTOR complexes. Together, our results reveal unusual ER- and Golgi-targeting sequences and suggest that anchoring to these organelles is important for the functions of mTOR complexes.

Peculiar protein-protein interactions of the novel endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein Rcr1 and ubiquitin ligase Rsp5.

Overproduction of the ER membrane protein Rcr1 makes Saccharomyces cerevisiae resistant to Congo red by reducing the chitin content through a unknown mechanism. By both co-immunoprecipitation and yeast two-hybrid experiments, specific interaction between Rcr1 and the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5 was found. This binding was largely mediated by a singular VPEY sequence in Rcr1 in addition to PPSY, the consensus ligand motif of the WW domains. Mutant analysis indicated that Rsp5 and other Rcr1-interacting proteins discovered in the current screen were not engaged in Congo red resistance.
