Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background Coat Protein Complex II (COPII) is composed of five cytosolic proteins: Sec23/24 complex, Sec13/31 complex, and Sar1. COPII coat is located at the ER/Golgi interface and is involved in transport of newly synthesized proteins from the ER to the Golgi apparatus (1). COPII formation is initiated through the binding of the activated G protein, Sar1, to the Sec23/24 complex, thereby forming a prebudding complex that directly binds target molecules (1-3).

Mammalian genomes encode four Sec24 paralogs (Sec24a-d), with two subfamilies based on sequence homology (SEC24A/B and C/D), though little is known about their comparative functions and cargo-specificities. Complete deficiency for Sec24d results in very early embryonic lethality in mice (before the 8 cell stage), with later embryonic lethality (E 7.5) observed in Sec24c null mice. To test the potential overlap in function between SEC24C/D, we employed dual recombinase mediated cassette exchange to generate a Sec24cc-d allele, in which the C-terminal 90% of SEC24C has been replaced by SEC24D coding sequence. In contrast to the embryonic lethality at E7.5 of SEC24C-deficiency, Sec24cc-d/c-d pups survive to term, though dying shortly after birth.

  • SEC24A Identified As an Essential Mediator of Thapsigargin-Induced
    Chidawanyika et al. Cell Death Discovery (2018) 4:115 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41420-018-0135-5 Cell Death Discovery ARTICLE Open Access SEC24A identified as an essential mediator of thapsigargin-induced cell death in a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen Tamutenda Chidawanyika1, Elizabeth Sergison 2, Michael Cole2,3, Kenneth Mark1 and Surachai Supattapone1,4 Abstract Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress from accumulated misfolded proteins in the ER can activate the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR acts either to restore proteostasis or to activate cell death pathways if the stress cannot be resolved. The key downstream effectors in these pathways have been studied extensively. However, in comparison, stressor-specific key mediators are not as well characterized. In this study, we sought to identify and compare the genes that are necessary for cell death induced by three classic pharmacological ER stressors with different mechanisms of action: thapsigargin, tunicamycin, and brefeldin A. We conducted genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9-based loss-of-function screens against these agents in HAP1 cells, which are a near-haploid cell line. Our screens confirmed that MFSD2A and ARF4, which were identified in previous screens, are necessary for tunicamycin- and brefeldin A- induced cytotoxicity, respectively. We identified a novel gene, SEC24A, as an essential gene for thapsigargin-induced cytotoxicity in HAP1 cells. Further experiments showed that the ability of SEC24A to facilitate ER stress-induced cell death is specific to thapsigargin and that SEC24A acts upstream of the UPR. These findings show that the genes required for ER stress-induced cell death are specific to the agent used to induce ER stress and that the resident ER cargo receptor protein SEC24A is an essential mediator of thapsigargin-induced UPR and cell death.

Stx5 and Sed5p are structurally highly conserved and are both regulated by interactions with other ER-Golgi SNARE proteins, the Sec1/Munc18-like protein Scfd1/Sly1p and the membrane tethering complexes COG, p115, and GM130. Despite these similarities, yeast Sed5p and mammalian Stx5 are differently recruited to COPII-coated vesicles, and Stx5 interacts with the microtubular cytoskeleton, whereas Sed5p does not. In this review, we argue that these different Stx5 interactions contribute to structural differences in ER-Golgi transport between mammalian and yeast cells. Insight into the function of Stx5 is important given its essential role in the secretory pathway of eukaryotic cells and its involvement in infections and neurodegenerative diseases. Keywords: syntaxin 5; Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; membrane trafficking; secretory pathway 1. Introduction The secretory pathway is essential for secretion of cytokines, hormones, growth factors, and extracellular matrix proteins, as well as for the delivery of receptors and transporters to the cell membrane and lytic proteins to endo-lysosomal compartments.

These proteins are incorporated into ER-derived carriers and transported to the Golgi before being sorted for delivery to their final destination. Although ER-to-Golgi trafficking is highly conserved among eukaryotes, several layers of complexity have been added to meet the increased demands of complex cell types in metazoans. The specialized morphology of neurons and the necessity for precise spatiotemporal control over membrane and secretory protein localization and function make them particularly vulnerable to defects in trafficking. This review summarizes the general mechanisms involved in ER-to-Golgi trafficking and highlights mutations in genes affecting this process, which are associated with neurological diseases in humans. Keywords: COPII trafficking; endoplasmic reticulum; Golgi apparatus; neurological disease 1. Overview Approximately one-third of all proteins encoded by the mammalian genome are exported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transported to the Golgi apparatus, where they are sorted for delivery to their final destination in membrane compartments or secretory vesicles [1].

Many signaling receptors and ligands are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and are transported to their destinations through intracellular trafficking pathways. Some of the signaling molecules play a critical role in craniofacial morphogenesis. Not surprisingly, variants in the genes encoding intracellular trafficking machinery can cause craniofacial diseases. Despite the fundamental importance of the trafficking pathways in craniofacial morphogen- esis, relatively less emphasis is placed on this topic, thus far. Here, we describe craniofacial diseases caused by lesions in the intracellular trafficking machinery and possible treatment strategies for such diseases.

Dezember 2012 Prof. Dr. Jörg Schibler Acknowledgements I would like to thank Prof. Martin Spiess for giving me the opportunity to work on this project, for continuous support, and for many fruitful discussions. Special thanks go to Dr. Gregor Suri, who initially started this project, and to Dr. Pascal Crottet for his help and expertise during experiments and for being a walking encyclopedia. Many thanks go to Nicole Beuret for her professional technical advice and assistance and for her patience to answer the countless questions. I would also like to thank the past and present lab members for creating a great working atmosphere, for scientific and other discussions, and for their support at all times: Cristina Baschong, Dr. Julia Birk, Dominik Buser, Erhan Demirci, Dr. Michael Friberg, Franziska Hasler, Dr. David Hirschmann, Tina Junne, Simone Kälin, Dr. Lucyna Kocik, Dr. Deyan Mihov, and Dr. Barry Shortt. Summary Transport of cargo within the endocytic and secretory pathway is generally mediated by coated vesicles. Clathrin, in combination with different adaptor proteins, is the major coat protein for vesicle formation at the plasma membrane, endosomes, and the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Best characterized is the formation of clathrin coats for endocytosis at the plasma membrane involving the adaptor protein complex AP-2.
