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.

Abstract Retromer is a protein sorting device that orchestrates the selection and export of integral membrane proteins from the endosome via retrograde and plasma membrane recycling pathways. Long standing hypotheses regarding the Retromer sorting mechanism posit that oligomeric interactions between Retromer and associated accessory factors on the endosome membrane drives clustering of Retromer-bound integral membrane cargo prior to its packaging into a nascent transport carrier.

To function in different trafficking routes, retromer core (VPS26/VPS29/VPS35) assembles with a range of sorting nexins to generate tubular carriers and incorporate assorted cargoes. We elucidate the structural basis of membrane remodelling and coupled cargo recognition by assembling metazoan and fungal retromer core trimers on cargo-containing membranes with sorting nexin adaptor SNX3 and determining their structures using cryo-electron tomography. Assembly leads to formation of tubular carriers in the absence of canonical membrane curvature drivers. Interfaces in the retromer coat provide a structural explanation for Parkinson's disease-linked mutations.

  • SNX13 Reduction Mediates Heart Failure Through Degradative Sorting of Apoptosis Repressor with Caspase Recruitment Domain
    ARTICLE Received 2 May 2014 | Accepted 8 Sep 2014 | Published 8 Oct 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6177 SNX13 reduction mediates heart failure through degradative sorting of apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain Jun Li1,2,*, Changming Li1,3,*, Dasheng Zhang1,2, Dan Shi1,2, Man Qi1,3, Jing Feng1,3, Tianyou Yuan1,2, Xinran Xu1,2, Dandan Liang1,2, Liang Xu1,2, Hong Zhang1,2, Yi Liu1,2, Jinjin Chen1,3, Jiangchuan Ye1,3, Weifang Jiang4, Yingyu Cui1,5, Yangyang Zhang6, Luying Peng1,2,5, Zhaonian Zhou1,7 & Yi-Han Chen1,2,3,5 Heart failure (HF) is associated with complicated molecular remodelling within cardio- myocytes; however, the mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. Here we show that sorting nexin-13 (SNX13), a member of both the sorting nexin and the regulator of G protein signalling (RGS) protein families, is a potent mediator of HF. Decreased levels of SNX13 are observed in failing hearts of humans and of experimental animals. SNX13-deficient zebrafish recapitulate HF with striking cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Mechanistically, a reduction in SNX13 expression facilitates the degradative sorting of apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC), which is a multifunctional inhibitor of apoptosis. Consequently, the apoptotic pathway is activated, resulting in the loss of cardiac cells and the dampening of cardiac function. The N-terminal PXA structure of SNX13 is responsible for mediating the endosomal trafficking of ARC. Thus, this study reveals that SNX13 profoundly affects cardiac performance through the SNX13-PXA-ARC-caspase signalling pathway. 1 Key Laboratory of Arrhythmias of the Ministry of Education of China, East Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai 200120, China.

  • The Sorting Nexin 3 Retromer Pathway Regulates the Cell Surface Localization and Activity of a Wnt- Activated Polycystin Channel Complex
    BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org The Sorting Nexin 3 Retromer Pathway Regulates the Cell Surface Localization and Activity of a Wnt- Activated Polycystin Channel Complex † ‡ † Shuang Feng,* Andrew J. Streets,* Vasyl Nesin, Uyen Tran, Hongguang Nie, † ‡ † Marta Onopiuk, Oliver Wessely, Leonidas Tsiokas, and Albert C.M. Ong* *Kidney Genetics Group, Academic Nephrology Unit and the Bateson Centre, Department of Infection, Immunity and Cardiovascular Disease, University of Sheffield Medical School, Sheffield, United Kingdom; †Department of Cell Biology, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and ‡Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Lerner Research Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio ABSTRACT Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by inactivating mutations in PKD1 (85%) or PKD2 (15%). The ADPKD proteins encoded by these genes, polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), form a plasma membrane receptor–ion channel complex. However, the mechanisms controlling the sub- cellular localization of PC1 and PC2 are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the involvement of the retromer complex, an ancient protein module initially discovered in yeast that regulates the retrieval, sorting, and retrograde transport of membrane receptors. Using yeast two-hybrid, biochemical, and cel- lular assays, we determined that PC2 binds two isoforms of the retromer-associated protein sorting nexin 3 (SNX3), including a novel isoform that binds PC2 in a direct manner. Knockdown of SNX3 or the core retromer protein VPS35 increased the surface expression of endogenous PC1 and PC2 in vitro and in vivo and increased Wnt-activated PC2-dependent whole-cell currents. These findings indicate that an SNX3- retromer complex regulates the surface expression and function of PC1 and PC2.
