Regulated motion of glycoproteins revealed by direct visualization of a single cargo in the endoplasmic reticulum
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quality of cargo proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is affected by their motion during folding. To understand how the diffusion of secretory cargo proteins is regulated in the ER, we directly analyze the motion of a single cargo molecule using fluorescence imaging/fluctuation analyses. We find that the addition of two N-glycans onto the cargo dramatically alters their diffusion by transient binding to membrane components that are confined by hyperosmolarity. Via simultaneous observation of a single cargo and ER exit sites (ERESs), we could exclude ERESs as the binding sites. Remarkably, actin cytoskeleton was required for the transient binding. These results provide a molecular basis for hypertonicity-induced immobilization of cargo, which is dependent on glycosylation at multiple sites but not the completion of proper folding. We propose that diffusion of secretory glycoproteins in the ER lumen is controlled from the cytoplasm to reduce the chances of aggregation.

Cytoplasmic acidification reduces potassium channel activities in the endoplasmic reticulum of rat hepatocytes
Introduction: Intracellular pH (pHi) regulates essentially all aspects of cellular activities. However, it is unknown how endoplasmic reticulum (ER) potassium channels sense pHi. In this study, we investigate the direct effects of pHi on ER potassium channels. Methods: We used channel incorporation into the bilayer lipid membrane method. L-α-phosphatidylcholine, a membrane lipid, was extrac...

Background: Defects in endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis are common occurrences in different diseases, such as diabetes, in which the function of endoplasmic reticulum is disrupted. It is now well established that ion channels of endoplasmic reticulum membrane have a critical role in endoplasmic reticulum luminal homeostasis. Our previous studies showed the presence of an ATP-sensitive cationic...

متن کاملA molecular study on the endoplasmic reticulum potassium channels in hepatocytes
Introduction: It has recently been suggested that the KATP channel subunits Kir6.x and BKCa channels exist in the endoplasmic reticulum of cardiomyocytes and neurons. Our previous studies showed the electrophysiological behavior of cation channels in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) of rat hepatocytes. Therefore, we hypothesized that KATP channels and Ca2+-activated potassium channels m...

Objective(s): Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is defined by steatosis and inflammation in the hepatocytes, which can progress to cirrhosis and possibly hepatocellular carcinoma. However, current treatments are not entirely effective. Allantoin is one of the principal compounds in many plants and an imidazoline I receptor agonist as well. Allantoin has positive eff...
