Rab10 coordinates SADS-CoV non-lytic egress through the ERGIC-TGN-lysosome trafficking pathway.

Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) is a bat-originated alphacoronavirus that causes devastating enteric disease in neonatal piglets and possesses significant potential for cross-species transmission. While the early stages of the coronavirus life cycle have been extensively characterized, the host factors indispensable for virion assembly and subsequent export remain largely enigmatic. Here, by performing a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen using a recombinant icSADS-CoV-GFP reporter virus, we identified the small GTPase Rab10 as a critical host dependency factor for SADS-CoV infection. Viral life cycle analysis revealed that Rab10 is not required for viral attachment, entry, or initial genome replication, but is essential for the virion transport and non-lytic egress. Rab10 deficiency markedly reduced the extracellular release of viral RNA, viral proteins, and infectious progeny, as well as the secretion of SADS-CoV virus-like particles. Confocal imaging showed that Rab10 and viral protein-positive intracellular structures were associated with LMAN1, TGN46, and LAMP1 positive compartments. These findings support a model in which Rab10 coordinates a virus-containing vesicles trafficking pathway associated with ERGIC-TGN-lysosome compartments. Mechanistically, Rab10 facilitates the loading of the viral envelope (E) protein into transport vesicles derived from the ERGIC. Rab10 associates with the SADS-CoV E protein, and mapping analyses implicated the C-terminal PDZ-binding motif, particularly residue V75, in efficient Rab10 association and viral release. Collectively, our findings identify Rab10 as a host regulator of SADS-CoV non-lytic egress and highlight the E-Rab10 interaction and the vesicular trafficking machinery as a potential target for developing antiviral strategies.

Cellular concentrations of protein kinase A modulate prostaglandin and cAMP induction of alkaline phosphatase.

The relationship between the concentration of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity and the induction of alkaline phosphatase (AP) was examined in transfected L cell lines with altered PKA levels. C alpha 12 cells were generated by transfecting mouse L cells with an expression vector coding for the mouse C alpha catalytic subunit of PKA and were shown to contain 2.5-fold more PKA activity than L cells. RAB10 cells were generated by transfection with an expression vector for a mutant regulatory subunit and had 10-fold lower levels of PKA activity than L cells. AP induction by 8-chlorophenylthio-cAMP (CPT-cAMP) was found to be 2-fold greater in C alpha 12 cells than in L cells, while RAB10 cells lacked any induction of AP in response to CPT-cAMP. Northern blot and solution hybridization analyses of AP mRNA showed that induced AP mRNA levels were comparable in C alpha 12 and in L cells. Western blot analysis demonstrated that AP protein levels were greater in C alpha 12 cells and suggested that the increased AP protein level resulted from either increased stability of the AP protein or increased rate of translation of the AP mRNA. In contrast, Northern blot analysis of the RAB10 cells failed to detect AP mRNA after CPT-cAMP treatment and suggested that PKA is required for induction of AP mRNA. Stimulation of endogenous cAMP levels by treatment with prostaglandin E1 gave similar effects on AP activity as those seen with CPT-cAMP. These results indicate that cellular levels of PKA can determine the magnitude of cellular response to hormonal stimulation and also suggest that PKA can regulate AP gene expression at both the level of the AP mRNA and AP protein.

Large-scale functional annotation establishes a reference framework for human LRRK2 variants.

Pathogenic variants in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2)1are among the most frequent monogenic causes of Parkinson's disease (PD)2 and act through a gain-of-function mechanism of increased kinase activity. LRRK2-targeted therapies are in clinical development, but interpretation of the rapidly expanding catalogue of rare LRRK2 variants remains a barrier to translation. Here, we present functionally annotated data on >350 LRRK2 coding variants using a standardized cellular assay with Rab10 phosphorylation as a readout of kinase activity and integrated these data with curated genetic and clinical annotations from the Movement Disorders Society Genetic Mutation Database (MDSGene). Variants differed in activation magnitude, ranging from modest increases (e.g., p.G2019S) to strongly activating substitutions such as p.Y1699C or p.L1795F. Activating variants occurred across the full length of LRRK2, although the largest effects clustered within the ROC-COR regulatory hub, where structural analysis identified subdomains forming an allosteric scaffold controlling kinase output. All known/established pathogenic variants showed increased activity, whereas benign and likely benign variants remained within the wild-type range. Functional effect sizes correlated with pathway activation in patient-derived immune cells, altogether providing a framework for ACMG-based variant interpretation in which kinase activation can support PS3 functional evidence for reclassification of variants.

rab15, a novel low molecular weight GTP-binding protein specifically expressed in rat brain.

rab3A is a low molecular weight (LMW) GTP-binding protein specifically expressed in brain and localized to synaptic vesicles. rab3A has been proposed to play a role in neurotransmitter release by regulating membrane flow in the nerve terminal. In an attempt to define other LMW GTP-binding proteins that may regulate neurotransmitter release, seven cDNA clones encoding new members of the rab family of LMW GTP-binding proteins were isolated from a rat brain cDNA library. The rab proteins contain the four conserved structural domains essential for GTP binding in addition to domains required for membrane localization and effector protein interactions. One protein, rab16, is closely related to members of the rab3 subfamily, whereas two others are assigned as the rat homologs of canine rab8 and rab10. Four additional clones, rab12, rab13, rab14, and rab15, revealed unique sequences and are new members of the rab family of LMW GTP-binding proteins. The patterns of expression of rab15 and rab3A closely overlap but differ from that observed for all other known LMW GTP-binding proteins. This data suggests that rab15 may act in concert with rab3A in regulating aspects of synaptic vesicle membrane flow within the nerve terminal.
