Specific Manner

During endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), the cytoplasmic enzyme N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1) is proposed to remove N-glycans from misfolded N-glycoproteins after their retrotranslocation from the ER to the cytosol. We previously reported that NGLY1 regulates Drosophila BMP signaling in a tissue-specific manner (Galeone et al., 2017). Here, we establish the Drosophila Dpp and its mouse ortholog BMP4 as biologically relevant targets of NGLY1 and find, unexpectedly, that NGLY1-mediated deglycosylation of misfolded BMP4 is required for its retrotranslocation. Accumulation of misfolded BMP4 in the ER results in ER stress and prompts the ER recruitment of NGLY1. The ER-associated NGLY1 then deglycosylates misfolded BMP4 molecules to promote their retrotranslocation and proteasomal degradation, thereby allowing properly-folded BMP4 molecules to proceed through the secretory pathway and activate signaling in other cells. Our study redefines the role of NGLY1 during ERAD and suggests that impaired BMP4 signaling might underlie some of the NGLY1 deficiency patient phenotypes.

Recently, the role of N-linked glycans in the process of ERAD (endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation) of proteins has been widely recognized. In the present study, we attempted to delineate further the sequence of events leading from a fully glycosylated soluble protein to its deglycosylated form. Degradation intermediates of a truncated form of ribophorin I, namely RI332, which contains a single N-linked oligosaccharide and is a substrate for the ERAD/ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, were characterized in HeLa cells under conditions blocking proteasomal degradation. The action of a deoxymannojirimycin- and kifunensine-sensitive α1,2-mannosidase was shown here to be required for both further glycan processing and progression of RI332 in the ERAD pathway. In a first step, the Man8 isomer B, generated by ER mannosidase I, appears to be the major oligomannoside structure associated with RI332 intermediates. Some other trimmed N-glycan species, in particular Glc1Man7GlcNAc2, were also found on the protein, indicating that several mannosidases might be implicated in the initial trimming of the oligomannoside. Secondly, another intermediate of degradation of RI332 accumulated after proteasome inhibition. We demonstrated that this completely deglycosylated form arose from the action of an N-glycanase closely linked to the ER membrane. Indeed, the deglycosylated form of the protein remained membrane-associated, while being accessible from the cytoplasm to ubiquitinating enzymes and to added protease. Our results indicate that deglycosylation of a soluble ERAD substrate glycoprotein occurs in at least two distinct steps and is coupled with the retro-translocation of the protein preceding its proteasomal degradation.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is exquisitely sensitive to changes in its internal environment. Various conditions, collectively termed “ER stress”, can perturb ER function, leading to the activation of a complex response known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). Although c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation is nearly always associated with cell death by various stimuli, the functional role of JNK in ER stress-induced cell death remains unclear. JNK regulates gene expression through the phosphorylation and activation of transcription factors, such as c-Jun. Here, we investigated the role of c-Jun in the regulation of ER stress-related genes. c-Jun expression levels determined the response of mouse fibroblasts to ER stress induced by thapsigargin (TG, an inhibitor of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase). c-jun−/− mouse fibroblast cells were more sensitive to TG-induced cell death compared to wild-type mouse fibroblasts, while reconstitution of c-Jun expression in c-jun−/− cells (c-Jun Re) enhanced resistance to TG-induced cell death. The expression levels of ER chaperones Grp78 and Gadd153 induced by TG were lower in c-Jun Re than in c-jun−/− cells. Moreover, TG treatment significantly increased calcineurin activity in c-jun−/− cells, but not in c-Jun Re cells. In c-Jun Re cells, TG induced the expression of Adapt78, also known as the Down syndrome critical region 1 (DSCR1), which is known to block calcineurin activity. Taken together, our findings suggest that c-Jun, a transcription factor downstream of the JNK signaling pathway, up-regulates Adapt78 expression in response to TG-induced ER stress and contributes to protection against TG-induced cell death.

The mRNA transcriptome is currently thought to be partitioned between the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) compartments by binary selection; mRNAs encoding cytosolic/nucleoplasmic proteins are translated on free ribosomes, and mRNAs encoding topogenic signal-bearing proteins are translated on ER-bound ribosomes, with ER localization being conferred by the signal-recognition particle pathway. In subgenomic and genomic analyses of subcellular mRNA partitioning, we report an overlapping subcellular distribution of cytosolic/nucleoplasmic and topogenic signal-encoding mRNAs, with mRNAs of both cohorts displaying noncanonical subcellular partitioning patterns. Unexpectedly, the topogenic signal-encoding mRNA transcriptome was observed to partition in a hierarchical, cohort-specific manner. mRNAs encoding resident proteins of the endomembrane system were clustered at high ER-enrichment values, whereas mRNAs encoding secretory pathway cargo were broadly represented on free and ER-bound ribosomes. Two distinct modes of mRNA association with the ER were identified. mRNAs encoding endomembrane-resident proteins were bound via direct, ribosome-independent interactions, whereas mRNAs encoding secretory cargo displayed predominantly ribosome-dependent modes of ER association. These data indicate that mRNAs are partitioned between the cytosol and ER compartments via a hierarchical system of intrinsic and encoded topogenic signals and identify mRNA cohort-restricted modes of mRNA association with the ER.

In metazoans, the architecture of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) differs between cell types, and undergoes major changes through the cell cycle and according to physiological needs. Although much is known about how the different ER morphologies are generated and maintained, especially the ER tubules, how context dependent changes in ER shape and distribution are regulated and the factors involved are less characterized. Here, we show that RHBDL4, an ER-resident rhomboid protease, modulates the shape and distribution of the ER, especially under conditions that require rapid changes in the ER sheet distribution, including ER stress. RHBDL4 interacts with CLIMP-63, a protein involved in ER sheet stabilisation, and with the cytoskeleton. Mice lacking RHBDL4 are sensitive to ER stress and develop liver steatosis, a phenotype associated with unresolved ER stress. Our data introduce a new physiological role of RHBDL4 and also imply that this function does not require its enzymatic activity.

Sequential mannose trimming of N-glycan (Man9GlcNAc2 -> Man8GlcNAc2 -> Man7GlcNAc2) facilitates endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation of misfolded glycoproteins (gpERAD). Our gene knockout experiments in human HCT116 cells have revealed that EDEM2 is required for the first step. However, it was previously shown that purified EDEM2 exhibited no α1,2-mannosidase activity toward Man9GlcNAc2 in vitro. Here, we found that EDEM2 was stably disulfide-bonded to TXNDC11, an endoplasmic reticulum protein containing five thioredoxin (Trx)-like domains. C558 present outside of the mannosidase homology domain of EDEM2 was linked to C692 in Trx5, which solely contains the CXXC motif in TXNDC11. This covalent bonding was essential for mannose trimming and subsequent gpERAD in HCT116 cells. Furthermore, EDEM2-TXNDC11 complex purified from transfected HCT116 cells converted Man9GlcNAc2 to Man8GlcNAc2(isomerB) in vitro. Our results establish the role of EDEM2 as an initiator of gpERAD, and represent the first clear demonstration of in vitro mannosidase activity of EDEM family proteins.

Background Insulin signaling comprises 2 major cascades, the IRS/PI3K/Akt and Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathways. Many studies on the tissue-specific effects of the former pathway had been conducted, however, the role of the latter cascade in tissue-specific insulin resistance had not been investigated. High glucose/fatty acid toxicity, inflammation and oxidative stress, all of which are associated with insulin resistance, can activate ERK. Liver plays a central role of metabolism and hepatosteatosis (HST) is associated with vascular diseases. The aim of this study is to elucidate the role of hepatic ERK2 in HST, metabolic remodeling and endothelial dysfunction. Methods Serum biomarkers of vascular complications in human were compared between subjects with and without HST diagnosed by echography for regular medical checkup. Next, we created liver-specific ERK2 knockout mice (LE2KO) and fed them with a high-fat/high-sucrose diet (HFHSD) for 20 weeks. The histological analysis, the expression of hepatic sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca 2+ -ATPase 2 (SERCA2) and glucose-tolerance/insulin-sensitivity (GT/IS) were tested. Vascular superoxide production and endothelial function were evaluated with dihydroethidium staining and isometric tension measurement of aorta. Results The presence of HST significantly increased HOMA-IR, an indicator of insulin resistance or atherosclerotic index in human. HFHSD-fed LE2KO revealed a marked exacerbation in HST and metabolic remodeling represented by the impairment of GT/IS, elevated serum free fatty acid and hyperhomocysteinemia without changes in body weight, blood pressure and serum cholesterol/triglyceride levels. In the HFHSD-fed LE2KO, mRNA and protein expressions of hepatic SERCA2 were significantly decreased, which resulted in hepatic ER stress. Induction of vascular superoxide production and remarkable endothelial dysfunction were also observed in them. Conclusions Hepatic ERK2 revealed the suppression of hepatic ER stress and HST in vivo , which resulted in protection from vascular oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. HST with hepatic ER stress can be a prominent risk of vascular complications by metabolic remodeling and oxidative stress in obese-related diseases.

Early Secretory Pathway

The classic model for peroxisome biogenesis states that new peroxisomes arise by the fission of pre-existing ones and that peroxisomal matrix and membrane proteins are recruited directly from the cytosol. Recent studies challenge this model and suggest that some peroxisomal membrane proteins might traffic via the endoplasmic reticulum to peroxisomes. We have studied the trafficking in human fibroblasts of three peroxisomal membrane proteins, Pex2p, Pex3p and Pex16p, all of which have been suggested to transit the endoplasmic reticulum before arriving in peroxisomes. Here, we show that targeting of these peroxisomal membrane proteins is not affected by inhibitors of COPI and COPII that block vesicle transport in the early secretory pathway. Moreover, we have obtained no evidence for the presence of these peroxisomal membrane proteins in compartments other than peroxisomes and demonstrate that COPI and COPII inhibitors do not affect peroxisome morphology or integrity. Together, these data fail to provide any evidence for a role of the endoplasmic reticulum in peroxisome biogenesis.

Abstract Background Obesity is a global public health problem. Obesity closely associated with various metabolic diseases such as; insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a critical factor for insulin resistance. O-linked N-acetyl-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc); is the post-translational modification which is has a vital role in biological processes; including cell signaling, in response to nutrients, stress and other extracellular stimuli. Materials and methods In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of O-GlcNAc modification in the context of obesity and obesity-associated insulin resistance in adipose tissue. For this purpose, first, the visceral and epididymal adipose tissues of obese and insulin resistant C57BL/6 Lepob/Lepob and wild-type mice were used to determine the O-GlcNAc modification pattern by western blot. Secondly, the external stimulation of O-GlcNAc modification in wild-type mice achieved by intraperitoneal 5 mg/kg/day glucosamine injection every 24 h for 5 days. The effect of increased O-GlcNAc modification on insulin resistance and ER stress investigated in adipose tissues of glucosamine challenged wild-type mice through regulation of the insulin signaling pathway and unfolded protein response (UPR) elements by western blot. In addition to that, the O-GlcNAc status of the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1) investigated in epididymal and visceral adipose tissues of ob/ob, wild-type and glucosamine challenged mice by immunoprecipitation. Results We found that reduced O-GlcNAc levels in visceral and epididymal adipose tissues of obese and insulin-resistant ob/ob mice, although interestingly we observed that increased O-GlcNAc modification in glucosamine challenged wild-type mice resulted in insulin resistance and ER stress. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the IRS1 was modified with O-GlcNAc in visceral and epididymal adipose tissues in both ob/ob mice and glucosamine-injected mice, and was compatible with the serine phosphorylation of this modification. Conclusion Our results suggest that O-GlcNAcylation of proteins is a crucial factor for intracellular trafficking regulates insulin receptor signaling and UPR depending on the cellular state of insulin resistance.
