Our lab focuses on the cellular functions and mechanisms of the proteins that regulate these pathways. A key family of regulatory proteins is the C-terminal Eps15 Homology Domain (EHD) protein family. The EHD family includes EHD1-4, which are ubiquitously expressed in mammalian tissues. While these isoforms do have some overlapping functions, each protein also has distinct activities in regulating the shape and fission of membranes throughout the endocytic pathways. Specifically, EHD1 uses ATP hydrolysis to induce constriction and fission of endocytic membranes. EHD1 is recruited to tubular recycling endosomes (TREs) by interacting with Molecules Interacting with CAsL-Like 1 (MICAL-L1) and it performs fission to release cargo-containing vesicles from the TRE. Our lab demonstrated that upon EHD1 depletion, the TREs become elongated due to the lack of fission and the receptors that recycle through this pathway display impaired recycling to the plasma membrane. Furthermore, our lab and others have shown that EHD1 not only interacts with MICAL-L1, but also with a variety of other proteins, such as the retromer cargo selection complex (CSC), which is known to regulate the trafficking of membranes iii and proteins between endosomes and the Golgi complex. Recently, the proposed role of VPS35, a core protein of the retromer complex, has expanded, and it was found to interact with and control the mitochondrial fission protein, Drp1. However, the connection between EHD1 and the retromer and their role in mitochondrial homeostasis is less clear. It was previously thought that endocytic regulatory proteins exclusively impacted membrane trafficking pathways, but recent studies suggest that endocytic regulatory proteins play a role in many other pathways including ciliogenesis, centrosome disengagement, and mitochondrial homeostasis. Herein, I describe a novel role for in endocytic regulatory proteins in controlling mitochondrial fission and mitochondrial-induced apoptosis. My studies led to a model by which EHD1 regulates the localization of the retromer within the cell; accordingly, when EHD1 is absent, the retromer no longer regulates the mitochondrial fission protein, Drp1. In addition, I demonstrate for the first time, a connection between endocytic proteins and apoptosis by proposing a model for an expanded role for the retromer complex in regulating mitochondrial-induced apoptosis through the trafficking of the anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-xL. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS TITLE PAGE ................................................................................................................................... i ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... ii TABLE OF CONTENTS .............................................................................................................. iv TABLE OF FIGURES .................................................................................................................... x LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ....................................................................................................... xii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................ xix Chapter I ......................................................................................................................................... 1 1.

Abstract: Mitochondria are critical organelles that play a key role in cellular metabolism, survival, and homeostasis. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease. The function of mitochondria is critically regulated by several mitochondrial protein kinases, including the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-induced kinase 1 (PINK1). The focus of PINK1 research has been centered on neuronal diseases. Recent studies have revealed a close link between PINK1 and many other diseases including kidney diseases. This review will provide a concise summary of PINK1 and its regulation of mitochondrial function in health and disease. The physiological role of PINK1 in the major cells involved in diabetic kidney disease including proximal tubular cells and podocytes will also be summarized. Collectively, these studies suggested that targeting PINK1 may offer a promising alternative for the treatment of diabetic kidney disease.

  • Membrane Tension Buffering by Caveolae: a Role in Cancer?
    Cancer and Metastasis Reviews (2020) 39:505–517 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10555-020-09899-2 Membrane tension buffering by caveolae: a role in cancer? Vibha Singh1 & Christophe Lamaze1 Published online: 30 May 2020 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract Caveolae are bulb-like invaginations made up of two essential structural proteins, caveolin-1 and cavins, which are abundantly present at the plasma membrane of vertebrate cells. Since their discovery more than 60 years ago, the function of caveolae has been mired in controversy. The last decade has seen the characterization of new caveolae components and regulators together with the discovery of additional cellular functions that have shed new light on these enigmatic structures. Early on, caveolae and/ or caveolin-1 have been involved in the regulation of several parameters associated with cancer progression such as cell migration, metastasis, angiogenesis, or cell growth. These studies have revealed that caveolin-1 and more recently cavin-1 have a dual role with either a negative or a positive effect on most of these parameters. The recent discovery that caveolae can act as mechanosensors has sparked an array of new studies that have addressed the mechanobiology of caveolae in various cellular functions. This review summarizes the current knowledge on caveolae and their role in cancer development through their activity in membrane tension buffering. We propose that the role of caveolae in cancer has to be revisited through their response to the mechanical forces encountered by cancer cells during tumor mass development. Keywords Caveolae . Cancer . Mechanosensing . Mechanotransdcution . Membrane tension .

This family of proteins is unified by their characteristic phox (PX) phosphoinositides binding domain. Along with binding to membranes, this family of SNXs also comprises a diverse array of protein-protein interaction motifs that are required for cellular sorting and protein trafficking. SNXs play a role in maintaining the integrity of the proteome which is essential for regulating multiple fundamental processes such as cell cycle progression, transcription, metabolism, and stress response. To tightly regulate these processes proteins must be expressed and degraded in the correct location and at the correct time. The cell employs several proteolysis mechanisms to ensure that proteins are selectively degraded at the appropriate spatiotemporal conditions. SNXs play a role in ubiquitin-mediated protein homeostasis at multiple levels including cargo localization, recycling, degradation, and function. In this review, we will discuss the role of SNXs in three different protein homeostasis systems: endocytosis lysosomal, the ubiquitin-proteasomal, and the autophagy-lysosomal system. The highly conserved nature of this protein family by beginning with the early research on SNXs and protein trafficking in yeast and lead into their important roles in mammalian systems.

  • Functions of Vertebrate Ferlins
    cells Review Functions of Vertebrate Ferlins Anna V. Bulankina 1 and Sven Thoms 2,* 1 Department of Internal Medicine 1, Goethe University Hospital Frankfurt, 60590 Frankfurt, Germany; [email protected] 2 Department of Child and Adolescent Health, University Medical Center Göttingen, 37075 Göttingen, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 January 2020; Accepted: 20 February 2020; Published: 25 February 2020 Abstract: Ferlins are multiple-C2-domain proteins involved in Ca2+-triggered membrane dynamics within the secretory, endocytic and lysosomal pathways. In bony vertebrates there are six ferlin genes encoding, in humans, dysferlin, otoferlin, myoferlin, Fer1L5 and 6 and the long noncoding RNA Fer1L4. Mutations in DYSF (dysferlin) can cause a range of muscle diseases with various clinical manifestations collectively known as dysferlinopathies, including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi myopathy. A mutation in MYOF (myoferlin) was linked to a muscular dystrophy accompanied by cardiomyopathy. Mutations in OTOF (otoferlin) can be the cause of nonsyndromic deafness DFNB9. Dysregulated expression of any human ferlin may be associated with development of cancer. This review provides a detailed description of functions of the vertebrate ferlins with a focus on muscle ferlins and discusses the mechanisms leading to disease development. Keywords: dysferlin; myoferlin; otoferlin; C2 domain; calcium-sensor; muscular dystrophy; dysferlinopathy; limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B), membrane repair; T-tubule system; DFNB9 1. Introduction Ferlins belong to the superfamily of proteins with multiple C2 domains (MC2D) that share common functions in tethering membrane-bound organelles or recruiting proteins to cellular membranes. Ferlins are described as calcium ions (Ca2+)-sensors for vesicular trafficking capable of sculpturing membranes [1–3].
