A series of checkpoints are located The tenet of quality control (QC) is that only when a given step in along the secretory pathway, which ensure the fidelity of such protein their structural maturation process is complete can proteins move to signals (quality control). Proteins that pass the checkpoints operated downstream compartments. Two theories have been proposed to in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by the binding immunoglobulin explain the selectivity of protein secretion: cargo selection and bulk protein (BiP; also known as HSPA5 and GRP78) and the calnexin– flow. The first entails that export is promoted by cargo receptors, such – calreticulin systems, must still overcome additional scrutiny in the ER- as the lectins ER Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) 53 kDa Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) and the Golgi. One of the protein (ERGIC-53; also known as LMAN1), the ERGIC-53-like main players of this process in all metazoans is the ER-resident protein (ERGL; also known as LMAN1L) and the VIP-36-like protein 44 (ERp44); by cycling between the ER and the Golgi, ERp44 protein (VIPL; also known as LMAN2L) for glycoproteins (Breuza controls the localization of key enzymes designed to act in the ER but et al., 2004; Kwon et al., 2016; Neve et al., 2003; Nufer et al., 2003; that are devoid of suitable localization motifs.

Additional QC steps Proteins that reside in the secretory pathway, as well as proteins occur in the ERGIC and in the Golgi (distal QC), in which the destined to traffic to the extracellular milieu or the plasma membrane, assembly of multimeric proteins is supervised (Anelli and Sitia, 2018; begin their journey in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). There, they Shibuya et al., 2015; Sun and Brodsky, 2019). This QC mechanism undergo post-translational modifications, including N-glycosylation, was first described in 1990 to control the secretion of polymeric glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor addition and disulfide immunoglobulin M (IgM) (Fra et al., 1993; Sitia et al., 1990). A bond formation, which are controlled by specific enzymes (Braakman cysteine residue was shown to act as a three-way switch, mediating and Hebert, 2013). The insertion of disulfide bonds is crucial to the assembly, retention and degradation of unpolymerized subunits ensure the stability of polypeptides destined to the oxidizing (Fra et al., 1993). Post-ER QC steps also control the assembly of extracellular environment (Darby and Creighton, 1995). Certain multimeric receptors. Unassembled subunits of multimeric catalytic or allosteric disulfides also regulate protein function and membrane proteins, such as the major histocompatibility complex activity (Cook and Hogg, 2013). In mammalian cells, oxidative (MHC) class I and II, or the T-cell receptor are in fact recognized in folding is catalyzed by a large array of oxidoreductases belonging to the Golgi and retrieved to the ER (Dusseljee et al., 1998; Hughes the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family (Appenzeller-Herzog et al., 1997; Yamamoto et al., 2001) as a result of the activity of and Ellgaard, 2008). Most of these proteins have two cysteine different receptors (Briant et al., 2017; Yamasaki et al., 2014). residues in the active site (CXXC) that mediate disulfide interchange One of the main players in post-ER QC is the ER-resident protein reactions.

ERp44 belongs to the PDI protein oxidized, they transfer their disulfide bonds to nascent proteins family, although it has peculiar characteristics. First, it lacks the (Wang et al., 2015). In eukaryotic cells, the reduced PDI is recharged resolving cysteine residue in its active site (CRFS) (Anelli et al., primarily by the ER oxidoreductin 1 enzymes (Ero1α and Ero1β in 2002), a characteristic shared only with a few other PDI homologs, mammals) (Cabibbo et al., 2000; Frand and Kaiser, 1999; Mezghrani such as anterior gradient 2 (AGR2) and 3 (AGR3), and thioredoxin- related transmembrane protein 5 (TMX5; also known as 1Division of Genetics and Cell Biology, Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, TXNDC15); this excludes a role as a disulfide donor (Kozlov Milan 20132, Italy. 2IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan 20132, Italy. et al., 2010), suggesting instead it could act as an isomerase. Second, and differently from most other family members, which reside in the *Author for correspondence ([email protected]) ER (reviewed in Hatahet and Ruddock, 2007), ERp44 is primarily T.A., 0000-0002-9159-9164 localized in the ERGIC and cis Golgi (Anelli et al., 2007).

  • The Physiological Functions of Mammalian Endoplasmic Oxidoreductin 1: on Disulfides and More
    ANTIOXIDANTS & REDOX SIGNALING Volume 16, Number 10, 2012 FORUM REVIEW ARTICLE ª Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089/ars.2011.4475 The Physiological Functions of Mammalian Endoplasmic Oxidoreductin 1: On Disulfides and More Thomas Ramming and Christian Appenzeller-Herzog Abstract Significance: The oxidative process of disulfide-bond formation is essential for the folding of most secretory and membrane proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is driven by electron relay pathways that transfer two electrons derived from the fusion of two adjacent cysteinyl side chains onto various types of chemical oxidants. The conserved, ER-resident endoplasmic oxidoreductin 1 (Ero1) sulfhydryl oxidases that reduce molecular oxygen to generate an active-site disulfide represent one of these pathways. In mammals, two family members exist, Ero1a and Ero1b. Recent Advances: The two mammalian Ero1 enzymes differ in transcriptional and post- translational regulation, tissue distribution, and catalytic turnover. A specific protein–protein interaction be- tween either isoform and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) facilitates the propagation of disulfides from Ero1 via PDI to nascent polypeptides, and inbuilt oxidative shutdown mechanisms in Ero1a and Ero1b prevent excessive oxidation of PDI. Critical Issues: Besides disulfide-bond generation, Ero1a also regulates calcium release from the ER and the secretion of disulfide-linked oligomers through its reversible association with the chaperone ERp44. This review explores the functional repertoire and possible redundancy of mammalian Ero1 enzymes. Future Directions: Systematic analyses of different knockout mouse models will be the most promising strategy to shed new light on unique and tissue-specific roles of Ero1a and Ero1b. Moreover, in-depth characterization of the known physical interactions of Ero1 with peroxidases and PDI family members will help broaden our functional and mechanistic understanding of Ero1 enzymes.

  • TMX1 Determines Cancer Cell Metabolism As a Thiol- Based Modulator of ER–Mitochondria Ca2+ Flux

Within tumor tissue, mitochondria metabolism is frequently repressed, leading to chemotherapy resistance and increased growth of the tumor mass. Therefore, altered ER–mitochondria Ca2+ flux could be a cancer hallmark, but only a few regulatory proteins of this mechanism are currently known. One candidate is the redox-sensitive oxidoreductase TMX1 that is enriched on the mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM), the site of ER–mitochondria Ca2+ flux. Our findings demonstrate that cancer cells with low TMX1 exhibit increased ER Ca2+, accelerated cytosolic Ca2+ clearance, and re- duced Ca2+ transfer to mitochondria. Thus, low levels of TMX1 reduce ER–mitochondria contacts, shift bioenergetics away from mitochondria, and accelerate tumor growth. For its role in intracellular ER–mitochondria Ca2+ flux, TMX1 requires its thioredoxin motif and palmitoylation to target to the MAM.

  • TMX2) Regulates the Ran Protein Gradient and Importin-Β-Dependent Nuclear Cargo Transport Ami Oguro1,2 & Susumu Imaoka1
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Thioredoxin-related transmembrane protein 2 (TMX2) regulates the Ran protein gradient and importin-β-dependent nuclear cargo transport Ami Oguro1,2 & Susumu Imaoka1 TMX2 is a thioredoxin family protein, but its functions have not been clarifed. To elucidate the function of TMX2, we explored TMX2-interacting proteins by LC-MS. As a result, importin-β, Ran GTPase (Ran), RanGAP, and RanBP2 were identifed. Importin-β is an adaptor protein which imports cargoes from cytosol to the nucleus, and is exported into the cytosol by interaction with RanGTP. At the cytoplasmic nuclear pore, RanGAP and RanBP2 facilitate hydrolysis of RanGTP to RanGDP and the disassembly of the Ran-importin-β complex, which allows the recycling of importin-β and reentry of Ran into the nucleus. Despite its interaction of TMX2 with importin-β, we showed that TMX2 is not a transport cargo. We found that TMX2 localizes in the outer nuclear membrane with its N-terminus and C-terminus facing the cytoplasm, where it co-localizes with importin-β and Ran. Ran is predominantly distributed in the nucleus, but TMX2 knockdown disrupted the nucleocytoplasmic Ran gradient, and the cysteine 112 residue of Ran was important in its regulation by TMX2. In addition, knockdown of TMX2 suppressed importin-β-mediated transport of protein. These results suggest that TMX2 works as a regulator of protein nuclear transport, and that TMX2 facilitates the nucleocytoplasmic Ran cycle by interaction with nuclear pore proteins. Tioredoxin-related transmembrane proteins (TMXs) are protein disulfde isomerase (PDI) family members and possess a transmembrane region.

There are no antiviral drugs with proven clinical efcacy for the treatment of COVID-19, nor are there any vaccines that prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2, and eforts to develop drugs and vaccines are hampered by the limited knowledge of the molecular details of how SARS-CoV-2 infects cells. Here we cloned, tagged and expressed 26 of the 29 SARS-CoV-2 proteins in human cells and identifed the human proteins that physically associated with each of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins using afnity-purifcation mass spectrometry, identifying 332 high-confdence protein–protein interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and human proteins. Among these, we identify 66 druggable human proteins or host factors targeted by 69 compounds (of which, 29 drugs are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, 12 are in clinical trials and 28 are preclinical compounds). We screened a subset of these in multiple viral assays and found two sets of pharmacological agents that displayed antiviral activity: inhibitors of mRNA translation and predicted regulators of the sigma-1 and sigma-2 receptors.

Here we show that overexpression of XBP1s promotes adiponectin multimerization in adipocytes, thereby regulating systemic glucose homeostasis. Ectopic expression of XBP1s in adipocytes improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in both lean and obese (ob/ob) mice. The beneficial effect of adipocyte XBP1s on glucose homeostasis is associated with elevated serum levels of HMW adiponectin and indeed, is adiponectin dependent.

Most studies however have focused on their role in shaping the HLA class I peptidome by trimming peptides to the optimal size. Genome Wide Association Studies highlighted non-synonymous polymorphisms in their coding regions as associated with several immune mediated diseases. The two genes lie contiguous and oppositely oriented on the 5q15 chromosomal region. Very little is known about the transcriptional regulation and the quantitative variations of these enzymes. Here, we correlated the level of transcripts and proteins of the two aminopeptidases in B-lymphoblastoid cell lines from 44 donors harbouring allelic variants in the intergenic region between ERAP1 and ERAP2. We found that the presence of a G instead of an A at SNP rs75862629 in the ERAP2 gene promoter strongly infuences the expression of the two ERAPs with a down-modulation of ERAP2 coupled with a signifcant higher expression of ERAP1. We therefore show here for the frst time a coordinated quantitative regulation of the two ERAP genes, which can be relevant for the setting of specifc therapeutic approaches. Te ER-resident aminopeptidases ERAP1 and ERAP2 are ubiquitous, zinc-dependent multifunctional enzymes involved in immune activation and infammation1–3, blood pressure regulation4,5 and antigenic peptide repertoire shaping6–10].
