We observed it accompanied by behavioral allodynia; neuropathic injury time-dependently enhanced VPS26A and SNX27 expression; VPS26A–SNX27 coprecipitation; and VPS26A-positive, SNX27-positive, and VPS26A–SNX27 double-labeled immunoreactivity in the dorsal horn of Sprague Dawley rats that were all sufficiently ameliorated through the focal knock-down of spinal VPS26A expression. Althoughtheknock-downofspinalSNX27expressionexhibitedsimilareffects,spinalnerveligation(SNL)-enhancedVPS26Aexpression remained unaffected. Moreover, SNL also increased membrane-bound and total mGluR5 abundance, VPS26A-bound SNX27 and mGluR5 and mGluR5-bound VPS26A and SNX27 coprecipitation, and mGluR5-positive and VPS26A/SNX27/mGluR5 triple-labeled immunoreactivity in the dorsal horn, and these effects were all attenuated through the focal knock-down of spinal VPS26A and SNX27 expression. Although administration with MPEP adequately ameliorated SNL-associated allodynia, mGluR5 expression, and membrane insertion, SNL-enhanced VPS26A and SNX27 expression were unaffected. Together, these results suggested a role of spinal VPS26A– SNX27-dependentmGluR5recyclinginthedevelopmentofneuropathicpain.Thisisthefirststudythatlinksretromer-associatedsorting machinery with the spinal plasticity underlying pain hypersensitivity and proposes the possible pathophysiological relevance of endo- cytic recycling in pain pathophysiology through the modification of glutamatergic mGluR5 recycling. Key words: retromer; SNX27; VPS26; mGluR5; neuropathic pain; allodynia Significance Statement VPS26A–SNX27-dependent mGluR5 recycling plays a role in the development of neuropathic pain. The regulation of the VPS26A– SNX27 interaction that modifies mGluR5 trafficking and expression in the dorsal horn provides a novel therapeutic strategy for pain relief.

The retromer complex is a heterotrimer of VPS29, VPS35, and VPS26. Two of these paral- ogues, VPS26A and VPS26B, are expressed in humans. Retromer dysfunction is associated with neurodegenerative disease, and recently, three VPS26A mutations (p.K93E, p.M112V, and p.K297X) were discovered to be associated with atypical parkinsonism. Here, we apply quantitative proteomics to provide a detailed description of the retromer interac- tome. By establishing a comparative proteomic methodology, we identify how this interactome is perturbed in atypical parkinsonism-associated VPS26A mutants.

In this work, we focus in OgpA from A. muciniphila,anO-glycopeptidase that exclusively hydrolyzes the peptide bond N-terminal to serine or threonine residues substituted with an O-glycan. We determine the high-resolution X-ray crystal structures of the unliganded form of OgpA, the complex with the glycodrosocin O-glycopeptide substrate and its product, providing a comprehensive set of snapshots of the enzyme along the catalytic cycle. In combination with O-glycopeptide chemistry, enzyme kinetics, and computational methods we unveil the molecular mechanism of O-glycan recognition and specificity for OgpA.

This article is published with open access Abstract Despite numerous studies on the molecular switches governing the conversion of stemness to differentiation in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), little is known about the involvement of the retromer complex. Under neural differentiation conditions, Vps26a deficiency (Vps26a-/-) or knockdown suppressed the loss of stemness and subsequent neurogenesis from ESCs or embryonic carcinoma cells, respectively, as evidenced by the long-lasting expression of stemness markers and the slow 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: appearance of neuronal differentiation markers. Interestingly, relatively low reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were generated during differentiation of Vps26a-/- ESCs, and treatment with an antioxidant or inhibitor of NADPH oxidase (Nox), a family of ROS-generating enzymes, led to restoration of stemness in wild-type cells to the level of Vps26a-/- cells during neurogenesis.

SUMMARY The large retromer complex participates in diverse endosomal trafficking pathways and is essential for plant developmental programs, including cell polarity, programmed cell death and shoot gravitropism in Ara- bidopsis. Here we demonstrate that an evolutionarily conserved VPS26 protein (VPS26C; At1G48550) func- tions in a complex with VPS35A and VPS29 necessary for root hair growth in Arabidopsis. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation showed that VPS26C forms a complex with VPS35A in the presence of VPS29, and this is supported by genetic studies showing that vps29 and vps35a mutants exhibit altered root hair growth. Genetic analysis also demonstrated an interaction between a VPS26C trafficking pathway and one involving the SNARE VTI13. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that VPS26C, with the notable exception of grasses, has been maintained in the genomes of most major plant clades since its evolution at the base of eukaryotes. To test the model that VPS26C orthologs in animal and plant species share a conserved func- tion, we generated transgenic lines expressing GFP fused with the VPS26C human ortholog (HsDSCR3)ina vps26c background.

ADPKD results from mutations in either PKD1 or is sufficient to promote kidney cystogenesis, and a number of PKD1 PKD2, which encode the atypical G-protein coupled receptor polycystin- and PKD2 mutants that are defective in ciliary trafficking are 1 (PC1) and the transient receptor potential channel polycystin-2 (PC2), reported to be pathogenic (Ma et al., 2013; Cai et al., 2014; Su et al., respectively. Although altered intracellular trafficking of PC1 and PC2 2015). Several studies have therefore addressed the question of how is an underlying feature of ADPKD, the mechanisms which govern PC1 and PC2 traffic to the primary cilium from compartments of the vesicular transport of the polycystins through the biosynthetic and biosynthetic membrane trafficking network, with roles for PC1-PC2 endosomal membrane networks remain to be fully elucidated. Here, we complex formation, cleavage of PC1 at a juxtamembrane GPCR describe an interaction between PC2 and retromer, a master controller autoproteolytic site, VxP ciliary targeting motifs, an internal PLAT for the sorting of integral membrane proteins through the endo- domain in PC1 and Rabep1-GGA1-Arl3, BBSome and exocyst lysosomal network.

Abstract β-arrestins are versatile adaptor proteins that play a vital role in regulation of G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) trafficking and signalling properties. PDZ proteins have previously been shown to modulate β-arrestin2 recruitment and receptor internalization for many GPCRs including Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptor 1 (CRFR1), a receptor whose antagonists have been shown to demonstrate both anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects. Further characterization of the interplay between β-arrestins and PDZ proteins may aid in determining a potential mechanism for PDZ protein regulation of GPCR trafficking. Our findings suggest that PDZ proteins PSD-95, MAGI1, and PDZK1 complex with β-arrestin2 by interacting via the PDZ domain.
