Rivera-Molina FE, Xi Z, Reales E, Wang B, Toomre D. Exocyst complex mediates recycling of internal cilia. Curr Biol 2021; 31:5580-5589.e5. [PMID: 34678163 DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2021.09.067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2021] [Revised: 07/22/2021] [Accepted: 09/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Primary cilia are slender, cellular antennae that sense extracellular stimuli, and their absence or dysfunction plays a role in numerous human diseases. Prior work has indicated a role of the exocyst tethering complex in cilia biogenesis and maintenance,1-6 with the underlying paradigm that the exocyst targets vesicles to the ciliary base to deliver ciliary cargoes.7-9 However, the role of the exocyst vis-à-vis to primary cilia in living cells and during stimulation is unknown. Herein, using advanced imaging and quantitative analysis reveals that serum stimulation increases the exocyst's localization to cilia by three-fold. This serum-stimulated localization is highly dynamic, and FRAP experiments show that exocysts at the cilia are highly mobile (60%-80%). Super resolution imaging reveals that the xocyst extends past the cilia base to the entire ciliary pocket. To visualize cilia exocytosis, we conducted live cell imaging with pH-sensitive cilia reporters in combination with extracellular pH switching. Strikingly, we observed that an exocyst-positive internal cilia fuses with the cell surface. These live cell results support a novel and dynamic role of the exocyst complex in the delivery of internalized cilia to the cell surface. Moreover, they suggest a novel pathway may be used to recycle primary cilia to the cell surface that engages the exocyst in response to stimuli. This new remarkable plasticity in cilia presence on the surface in response to extracellular stimuli suggest new means to potentially modulate cilia signaling.

Abstract
Heterotrimeric G proteins are immediate transducers of G protein-coupled receptors-the biggest receptor family in metazoans-and play innumerate functions in health and disease. A set of de novo point mutations in GNAO1 and GNAI1, the genes encoding the α-subunits (Gαo and Gαi1, respectively) of the heterotrimeric G proteins, have been described to cause pediatric encephalopathies represented by epileptic seizures, movement disorders, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and signs of neurodegeneration. Among such mutations, the Gln52Pro substitutions have been previously identified in GNAO1 and GNAI1. Here, we describe the case of an infant with another mutation in the same site, Gln52Arg. The patient manifested epileptic and movement disorders and a developmental delay, at the onset of 1.5 weeks after birth. We have analyzed biochemical and cellular properties of the three types of dominant pathogenic mutants in the Gln52 position described so far: Gαo[Gln52Pro], Gαi1[Gln52Pro], and the novel Gαo[Gln52Arg]. At the biochemical level, the three mutant proteins are deficient in binding and hydrolyzing GTP, which is the fundamental function of the healthy G proteins. At the cellular level, the mutants are defective in the interaction with partner proteins recognizing either the GDP-loaded or the GTP-loaded forms of Gαo. Further, of the two intracellular sites of Gαo localization, plasma membrane and Golgi, the former is strongly reduced for the mutant proteins. We conclude that the point mutations at Gln52 inactivate the Gαo and Gαi1 proteins leading to aberrant intracellular localization and partner protein interactions. These features likely lie at the core of the molecular etiology of pediatric encephalopathies associated with the codon 52 mutations in GNAO1/GNAI1.

Abstract
CCRK/CDK20 was reported to interact with BROMI/TBC1D32 and regulate ciliary Hedgehog signaling. In various organisms, mutations in the orthologs of CCRK and those of the kinase ICK/CILK1, which is phosphorylated by CCRK, are known to result in cilia elongation. Furthermore, we recently showed that ICK regulates retrograde ciliary protein trafficking and/or the turnaround event at the ciliary tips, and that its mutations result in the elimination of intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins that have overaccumulated at the bulged ciliary tips as extracellular vesicles, in addition to cilia elongation. However, how these proteins cooperate to regulate ciliary protein trafficking has remained unclear. We here show that the phenotypes of CCRK-knockout (KO) cells closely resemble those of ICK-KO cells; namely, the overaccumulation of IFT proteins at the bulged ciliary tips, which appear to be eliminated as extracellular vesicles, and the enrichment of GPR161 and Smoothened on the ciliary membrane. The abnormal phenotypes of CCRK-KO cells were rescued by the exogenous expression of wild-type CCRK but not its kinase-dead mutant or a mutant defective in BROMI binding. These results together indicate that CCRK regulates the turnaround process at the ciliary tips in concert with BROMI and probably via activating ICK.

Abstract
INPP5E, a phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase, localizes on the ciliary membrane via its C-terminal prenyl moiety, and maintains the distinct ciliary phosphoinositide composition. The ARL3 GTPase contributes to the ciliary membrane localization of INPP5E by stimulating the release of PDE6D bound to prenylated INPP5E. Another GTPase, ARL13B, which is localized on the ciliary membrane, contributes to the ciliary membrane retention of INPP5E by directly binding to its ciliary targeting sequence. However, as ARL13B was shown to act as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for ARL3, it is also possible that ARL13B indirectly mediates the ciliary INPP5E localization via activating ARL3. We here show that INPP5E is delocalized from cilia in both ARL3-knockout (KO) and ARL13B-KO cells. However, some of the abnormal phenotypes were different between these KO cells, while others were found to be common, indicating the parallel roles of ARL3 and ARL13B, at least concerning some cellular functions. For several variants of ARL13B, their ability to interact with INPP5E, rather than their ability as an ARL3-GEF, was associated with whether they could rescue the ciliary localization of INPP5E in ARL13B-KO cells. These observations together indicate that ARL13B determines the ciliary localization of INPP5E, mainly by its direct binding to INPP5E.

Abstract
Flagellar assembly depends on intraflagellar transport (IFT), a bidirectional motility of protein carriers, the IFT trains. The trains are periodic assemblies of IFT-A and IFT-B subcomplexes and the motors kinesin-2 and IFT dynein. At the tip, anterograde trains are remodeled for retrograde IFT, a process that in Chlamydomonas involves kinesin-2 release and train fragmentation. However, the degree of train disassembly at the tip remains unknown. Here, we performed two-color imaging of fluorescent protein-tagged IFT components, which indicates that IFT-A and IFT-B proteins from a given anterograde train usually return in the same set of retrograde trains. Similarly, concurrent turnaround was typical for IFT-B proteins and the IFT dynein subunit D1bLIC-GFP but severance was observed as well. Our data support a simple model of IFT turnaround, in which IFT-A, IFT-B and IFT dynein typically remain associated at the tip and segments of the anterograde trains convert directly into retrograde trains. Continuous association of IFT-A, IFT-B and IFT dynein during tip remodeling could balance protein entry and exit, preventing the build-up of IFT material in flagella.

Abstract
Vesicle tethers are thought to underpin the efficiency of intracellular fusion by bridging vesicles to their target membranes. However, the interplay between tethering and fusion has remained enigmatic. Here, through optogenetic control of either a natural tether-the exocyst complex-or an artificial tether, we report that tethering regulates the mode of fusion. We find that vesicles mainly undergo kiss-and-run instead of full fusion in the absence of functional exocyst. Full fusion is rescued by optogenetically restoring exocyst function, in a manner likely dependent on the stoichiometry of tether engagement with the plasma membrane. In contrast, a passive artificial tether produces mostly kissing events, suggesting that kiss-and-run is the default mode of vesicle fusion. Optogenetic control of tethering further shows that fusion mode has physiological relevance since only full fusion could trigger lamellipodial expansion. These findings demonstrate that active coupling between tethering and fusion is critical for robust membrane merger.

Abstract
Polarized exocytosis is essential for many vital processes in eukaryotic cells, where secretory vesicles are targeted to distinct plasma membrane domains characterized by their specific lipid-protein composition. Heterooctameric protein complex exocyst facilitates the vesicle tethering to a target membrane and is a principal cell polarity regulator in eukaryotes. The architecture and molecular details of plant exocyst and its membrane recruitment have remained elusive. Here, we show that the plant exocyst consists of two modules formed by SEC3-SEC5-SEC6-SEC8 and SEC10-SEC15-EXO70-EXO84 subunits, respectively, documenting the evolutionarily conserved architecture within eukaryotes. In contrast to yeast and mammals, the two modules are linked by a plant-specific SEC3-EXO70 interaction, and plant EXO70 functionally dominates over SEC3 in the exocyst recruitment to the plasma membrane. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we found that the C-terminal part of EXO70A1, the canonical EXO70 isoform in Arabidopsis, is critical for this process. In contrast to yeast and animal cells, the EXO70A1 interaction with the plasma membrane is mediated by multiple anionic phospholipids uniquely contributing to the plant plasma membrane identity. We identified several evolutionary conserved EXO70 lysine residues and experimentally proved their importance for the EXO70A1-phospholipid interactions. Collectively, our work has uncovered plant-specific features of the exocyst complex and emphasized the importance of the specific protein-lipid code for the recruitment of peripheral membrane proteins.

Abstract
The rod and cone photoreceptor cells of the vertebrate retina have highly specialized structures that enable them to carry out their function of light detection over a broad range of illumination intensities with optimized spatial and temporal resolution. Most prominent are their unusually large sensory cilia, consisting of outer segments packed with photosensitive disc membranes, a connecting cilium with many features reminiscent of the primary cilium transition zone, and a pair of centrioles forming a basal body which serves as the platform upon which the ciliary axoneme is assembled. These structures form a highway through which an enormous flux of material moves on a daily basis to sustain the continual turnover of outer segment discs and the energetic demands of phototransduction. After decades of study, the details of the fine structure and distribution of molecular components of these structures are still incompletely understood, but recent advances in cellular imaging techniques and animal models of inherited ciliary defects are yielding important new insights. This knowledge informs our understanding both of the mechanisms of trafficking and assembly and of the pathophysiological mechanisms of human blinding ciliopathies.

Abstract
Adoption of CRISPR-Cas systems, such as CRISPR-Cas9 and CRISPR-Cas12a, has revolutionized genome engineering in recent years; however, application of genome editing with CRISPR type I-the most abundant CRISPR system in bacteria-remains less developed. Type I systems, such as type I-E, and I-F, comprise the CRISPR-associated complex for antiviral defense ('Cascade': Cas5, Cas6, Cas7, Cas8 and the small subunit) and Cas3, which degrades the target DNA; in contrast, for the sub-type CRISPR-Cas type I-D, which lacks a typical Cas3 nuclease in its CRISPR locus, the mechanism of target DNA degradation remains unknown. Here, we found that Cas10d is a functional nuclease in the type I-D system, performing the role played by Cas3 in other CRISPR-Cas type I systems. The type I-D system can be used for targeted mutagenesis of genomic DNA in human cells, directing both bi-directional long-range deletions and short insertions/deletions. Our findings suggest the CRISPR-Cas type I-D system as a unique effector pathway in CRISPR that can be repurposed for genome engineering in eukaryotic cells.

Gene therapy reforms photoreceptor structure and restores vision in NPHP5-associated Leber congenital amaurosis. Mol Ther 2021; 29:2456-2468.

Abstract
The inherited childhood blindness caused by mutations in NPHP5, a form of Leber congenital amaurosis, results in abnormal development, dysfunction, and degeneration of photoreceptors. A naturally occurring NPHP5 mutation in dogs leads to a phenotype that very nearly duplicates the human retinopathy in terms of the photoreceptors involved, spatial distribution of degeneration, and the natural history of vision loss. We show that adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated NPHP5 gene augmentation of mutant canine retinas at the time of active degeneration and peak cell death stably restores photoreceptor structure, function, and vision with either the canine or human NPHP5 transgenes. Mutant cone photoreceptors, which failed to form outer segments during development, reform this structure after treatment. Degenerating rod photoreceptor outer segments are stabilized and develop normal structure. This process begins within 8 weeks after treatment and remains stable throughout the 6-month posttreatment period. In both photoreceptor cell classes mislocalization of rod and cone opsins is minimized or reversed. Retinal function and functional vision are restored. Efficacy of gene therapy in this large animal ciliopathy model of Leber congenital amaurosis provides a path for translation to human treatment.

Hum Mol Genet 2021; 30:213-225. [PMID: 33517396 DOI: 10.1093/hmg/ddab034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 12/28/2020] [Accepted: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Primary cilia contain specific proteins to achieve their functions as cellular antennae. Ciliary protein trafficking is mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery containing the IFT-A and IFT-B complexes. Mutations in genes encoding the IFT-A subunits (IFT43, IFT121/WDR35, IFT122, IFT139/TTC21B, IFT140 and IFT144/WDR19) often result in skeletal ciliopathies, including cranioectodermal dysplasia (CED). We here characterized the molecular and cellular defects of CED caused by compound heterozygous mutations in IFT144 [the missense variant IFT144(L710S) and the nonsense variant IFT144(R1103*)]. These two variants were distinct with regard to their interactions with other IFT-A subunits and with the IFT-B complex. When exogenously expressed in IFT144-knockout (KO) cells, IFT144(L710S) as well as IFT144(WT) rescued both moderately compromised ciliogenesis and the abnormal localization of ciliary proteins. As the homozygous IFT144(L710S) mutation was found to cause autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, IFT144(L710S) is likely to be hypomorphic at the cellular level. In striking contrast, the exogenous expression of IFT144(R1103*) in IFT144-KO cells exacerbated the ciliogenesis defects. The expression of IFT144(R1103*) together with IFT144(WT) restored the abnormal phenotypes of IFT144-KO cells. However, the coexpression of IFT144(R1103*) with the hypomorphic IFT144(L710S) variant in IFT144-KO cells, which mimics the genotype of compound heterozygous CED patients, resulted in severe ciliogenesis defects. Taken together, these observations demonstrate that compound heterozygous mutations in IFT144 cause severe ciliary defects via a complicated mechanism, where one allele can cause severe ciliary defects when combined with a hypomorphic allele.

Abstract
Apoptosis-linked gene 2 (ALG-2, also known as PDCD6) is a member of the penta-EF-hand (PEF) family of Ca2+-binding proteins. The murine gene encoding ALG-2 was originally reported to be an essential gene for apoptosis. However, the role of ALG-2 in cell death pathways has remained elusive. In the present study, we found that cell death-inducing p53 target protein 1 (CDIP1), a pro-apoptotic protein, interacts with ALG-2 in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis of GFP-fused CDIP1 (GFP-CDIP1) revealed that GFP-CDIP1 associates with tumor susceptibility gene 101 (TSG101), a known target of ALG-2 and a subunit of endosomal sorting complex required for transport-I (ESCRT-I). ESCRT-I is a heterotetrameric complex composed of TSG101, VPS28, VPS37 and MVB12/UBAP1. Of diverse ESCRT-I species originating from four VPS37 isoforms (A, B, C, and D), CDIP1 preferentially associates with ESCRT-I containing VPS37B or VPS37C in part through the adaptor function of ALG-2. Overexpression of GFP-CDIP1 in HEK293 cells caused caspase-3/7-mediated cell death. In addition, the cell death was enhanced by co-expression of ALG-2 and ESCRT-I, indicating that ALG-2 likely promotes CDIP1-induced cell death by promoting the association between CDIP1 and ESCRT-I. We also found that CDIP1 binds to vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein (VAP)A and VAPB through the two phenylalanines in an acidic tract (FFAT)-like motif in the C-terminal region of CDIP1, mutations of which resulted in reduction of CDIP1-induced cell death. Therefore, our findings suggest that different expression levels of ALG-2, ESCRT-I subunits, VAPA and VAPB may have an impact on sensitivity of anticancer drugs associated with CDIP1 expression.

Abstract
Compositions of proteins and lipids within cilia and on the ciliary membrane are maintained to be distinct from those of the cytoplasm and plasma membrane, respectively, by the presence of the ciliary gate. INPP5E is a phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase that is localized on the ciliary membrane by anchorage via its C-terminal prenyl moiety. In addition, the ciliary membrane localization of INPP5E is determined by the small GTPase ARL13B. However, it remained unclear as to how ARL13B participates in the localization of INPP5E. We here show that wild-type INPP5E, INPP5E(WT), in ARL13B-knockout cells and an INPP5E mutant defective in ARL13B binding, INPP5E(ΔCTS), in control cells were unable to show steady-state localization on the ciliary membrane. However, not only INPP5E(WT) but also INPP5E(ΔCTS) was able to rescue the abnormal localization of ciliary proteins in INPP5E-knockout cells. Analysis using the chemically induced dimerization system demonstrated that INPP5E(WT) in ARL13B-knockout cells and INPP5E(ΔCTS) in control cells were able to enter cilia, but neither was retained on the ciliary membrane due to the lack of the INPP5E-ARL13B interaction. Thus, our data demonstrate that binding of INPP5E to ARL13B is essential for its steady-state localization on the ciliary membrane but is dispensable for its entry into cilia.

Abstract
Pollen germination and pollen tube growth are important biological events in the sexual reproduction of higher plants, during which a large number of vesicle trafficking and membrane fusion events occur. When secretory vesicles are transported via the F-actin network in proximity to the apex of the pollen tube, the secretory vesicles are tethered and fused to the plasma membrane by tethering factors and SNARE proteins, respectively. The coupling and uncoupling between the vesicle membrane and plasma membrane are also regulated by dynamic cytoskeleton, proteins, and signaling molecules, including small G proteins, calcium, and PIP2. In this review, we focus on the current knowledge regarding secretory vesicle delivery, tethering, and fusion during pollen germination and tube growth and summarize the progress in research on how regulators and signaling molecules participate in the above processes.

Abstract
Coat protein complex I (COP-I) mediates the retrograde transport from the Golgi apparatus to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Mutation of the COPA gene, encoding one of the COP-I subunits (α-COP), causes an immune dysregulatory disease known as COPA syndrome. The molecular mechanism by which the impaired retrograde transport results in autoinflammation remains poorly understood. Here we report that STING, an innate immunity protein, is a cargo of the retrograde membrane transport. In the presence of the disease-causative α-COP variants, STING cannot be retrieved back to the ER from the Golgi. The forced Golgi residency of STING results in the cGAS-independent and palmitoylation-dependent activation of the STING downstream signaling pathway. Surf4, a protein that circulates between the ER/ ER-Golgi intermediate compartment/ Golgi, binds STING and α-COP, and mediates the retrograde transport of STING to the ER. The STING/Surf4/α-COP complex is disrupted in the presence of the disease-causative α-COP variant. We also find that the STING ligand cGAMP impairs the formation of the STING/Surf4/α-COP complex. Our results suggest a homeostatic regulation of STING at the resting state by retrograde membrane traffic and provide insights into the pathogenesis of COPA syndrome. COPA regulates Golgi to ER transport, and mutations lead to autoinflammation and disease through poorly understood mechanisms. Here, the authors show that disease-causing COPA variants prevent STING transport from the Golgi to the ER, leading to cGAS-independent activation of the STING pathway.

Abstract
Cilia sense and transduce extracellular signals via specific receptors. The intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery mediates not only bidirectional protein trafficking within cilia but also the import/export of ciliary proteins across the ciliary gate. The IFT machinery is known to comprise two multisubunit complexes, namely, IFT-A and IFT-B; however, little is known about how the two complexes cooperate to mediate ciliary protein trafficking. We here show that IFT144-IFT122 from IFT-A and IFT88-IFT52 from IFT-B make major contributions to the interface between the two complexes. Exogenous expression of the IFT88(Δα) mutant, which has decreased binding to IFT-A, partially restores the ciliogenesis defect of IFT88-knockout (KO) cells. However, IFT88(Δα)-expressing IFT88-KO cells demonstrate a defect in IFT-A entry into cilia, aberrant accumulation of IFT-B proteins at the bulged ciliary tips, and impaired import of ciliary G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Furthermore, overaccumulated IFT proteins at the bulged tips appeared to be released as extracellular vesicles. These phenotypes of IFT88(Δα)-expressing IFT88-KO cells resembled those of IFT144-KO cells. These observations together indicate that the IFT-A complex cooperates with the IFT-B complex to mediate the ciliary entry of GPCRs as well as retrograde trafficking of the IFT machinery from the ciliary tip.

Abstract
The central transport channel (CTC) of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) is made up of three nucleoporins Nup62, Nup58 and Nup54. In which manner and capacity, these nucleoporins form the CTC, is not yet clear. We explored the CTC Nups from various species and observed that distinct biochemical characteristics of CTC Nups are evolutionarily conserved. Moreover, comparative biochemical analysis of CTC complexes showed various stoichiometric combinations of Nup62, Nup54 and Nup58 coexisting together. We observed the conserved amino-terminal domain of mammalian Nup93 is crucial for the anchorage of CTC and its localization to NPCs. We could reconstitute and purify mammalian CTC·Nup93 quaternary complex by co-expressing full length or N-terminal domain of Nup93 along with CTC complex. Further, we characterized CTC·Nup93 complex using small angle X-ray scattering and electron microscopy that revealed a "V" shape of CTC·Nup93 complex. Overall, this study demonstrated for the first time evolutionarily conserved plasticity and stoichiometric diversity in CTC Nups.

Abstract
Cells comprise several intracellular membrane compartments that allow them to function properly. One of these functions is cargo movement, typically proteins and membranes within cells. These cargoes ride microtubules through vesicles from Golgi and recycling endosomes to the plasma membrane in order to be delivered and exocytosed. In neurons, synaptic functions employ this cargo trafficking to maintain inter-neuronal communication optimally. One of the complexes that oversee vesicle trafficking and tethering is the exocyst. The exocyst is a protein complex containing eight subunits first identified in yeast and then characterized in multicellular organisms. This complex is related to several cellular processes, including cellular growth, division, migration, and morphogenesis, among others. It has been associated with glutamatergic receptor trafficking and tethering into the synapse, providing the molecular machinery to deliver receptor-containing vesicles into the plasma membrane in a constitutive manner. In this review, we discuss the evidence so far published regarding receptor trafficking and the exocyst complex in both basal and stimulated levels, comparing constitutive trafficking and long-term potentiation-related trafficking.

Abstract
Understanding how building blocks of life contribute to physiology is greatly aided by protein identification and cellular localization. The two main labeling approaches developed over the past decades are labeling with antibodies such as immunoglobulin G (IgGs) or use of genetically encoded tags such as fluorescent proteins. However, IgGs are large proteins (150 kDa), which limits penetration depth and uncertainty of target position caused by up to ∼25 nm distance of the label created by the chosen targeting approach. Additionally, IgGs cannot be easily recombinantly modulated and engineered as part of fusion proteins because they consist of multiple independent translated chains. In the last decade single domain antigen binding proteins are being explored in bioscience as a tool in revealing molecular identity and localization to overcome limitations by IgGs. These nanobodies have several potential benefits over routine applications. Because of their small size (15 kDa), nanobodies better penetrate during labeling procedures and improve resolution. Moreover, nanobodies cDNA can easily be fused with other cDNA. Multidomain proteins can thus be easily engineered consisting of domains for targeting (nanobodies) and visualization by fluorescence microscopy (fluorescent proteins) or electron microscopy (based on certain enzymes). Additional modules for e.g., purification are also easily added. These nanobody-based probes can be applied in cells for live-cell endogenous protein detection or may be purified prior to use on molecules, cells or tissues. Here, we present the current state of nanobody-based probes and their implementation in microscopy, including pitfalls and potential future opportunities.

Abstract
ICK (also known as CILK1) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase-like kinase localized at the ciliary tip. Its deficiency is known to result in the elongation of cilia and causes ciliopathies in humans. However, little is known about how ICK is transported to the ciliary tip. We here show that the C-terminal noncatalytic region of ICK interacts with the intraflagellar transport (IFT)-B complex of the IFT machinery and participates in its transport to the ciliary tip. Furthermore, total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that ICK undergoes bidirectional movement within cilia, similarly to IFT particles. Analysis of ICK knockout cells demonstrated that ICK deficiency severely impairs the retrograde trafficking of IFT particles and ciliary G protein-coupled receptors. In addition, we found that in ICK knockout cells, ciliary proteins are accumulated at the bulged ciliary tip, which appeared to be torn off and released into the environment as an extracellular vesicle. The exogenous expression of various ICK constructs in ICK knockout cells indicated that the IFT-dependent transport of ICK, as well as its kinase activity and phosphorylation at the canonical TDY motif, is essential for ICK function. Thus, we unequivocally show that ICK transported to the ciliary tip is required for retrograde ciliary protein trafficking and consequently for normal ciliary function.

Abstract
Cilia are plasma membrane protrusions that act as cellular antennae and propellers in eukaryotes. To achieve their sensory and motile functions, cilia maintain protein and lipid compositions that are distinct from those of the cell body. The transition zone (TZ) is a specialized region located at the ciliary base, which functions as a barrier separating the interior and exterior of cilia. The TZ comprises a number of transmembrane and soluble proteins. Meckel syndrome (MKS)1, B9 domain (B9D)1/MKS9, and B9D2/MKS10 are soluble TZ proteins that are encoded by causative genes of MKS and have a B9D in common. We here demonstrate the interaction mode of these B9D proteins to be MKS1-B9D2-B9D1 and demonstrate their interdependent localization to the TZ. Phenotypic analyses of MKS1-knockout (KO) and B9D2-KO cells show that the B9D proteins are involved in, although not essential for, normal cilia biogenesis. Rescue experiments of these KO cells show that formation of the B9D protein complex is crucial for creating a diffusion barrier for ciliary membrane proteins.

Abstract
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a pleiotropic ciliopathy caused by dysfunction of primary cilia. More than half of BBS patients carry mutations in one of eight genes encoding for subunits of a protein complex, the BBSome, which mediates trafficking of ciliary cargoes. In this study, we elucidated the mechanisms of the BBSome assembly in living cells and how this process is spatially regulated. We generated a large library of human cell lines deficient in a particular BBSome subunit and expressing another subunit tagged with a fluorescent protein. We analyzed these cell lines utilizing biochemical assays, conventional and expansion microscopy, and quantitative fluorescence microscopy techniques: fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Our data revealed that the BBSome formation is a sequential process. We show that the pre-BBSome is nucleated by BBS4 and assembled at pericentriolar satellites, followed by the translocation of the BBSome into the ciliary base mediated by BBS1. Our results provide a framework for elucidating how BBS-causative mutations interfere with the biogenesis of the BBSome.

Abstract
GPCRs are the largest family of receptors accounting for about 30% of the current drug targets. However, it is difficult to fully elucidate the mechanisms regulating intracellular GPCR signal regulation. It is thus important to consider and investigate GPCRs with respect to endogenous situations. Our group has been investigating GPCRs involved in body color (teleost and amphibian) and eating (vertebrate). Here, I review two independent GPCR systems (heterodimer formation and primary ciliated GPCR) that can be breakthroughs in GPCR research. In teleosts, MCRs form heterodimers, which significantly reduce their affinity for acetylated ligands. In mammals, MCHR1 is localized in the ciliary membrane and shortens the length of the primary cilia through a unique signal from the ciliary membrane. Considering these two new GPCR concepts is expected to advance the overall view of the GPCR system.

Abstract
Decrypting the interface residues of the protein complexes provides insight into the functions of the proteins and, hence, the overall cellular machinery. Computational methods have been devised in the past to predict the interface residues using amino acid sequence information, but all these methods have been majorly applied to predict for prokaryotic protein complexes. Since the composition and rate of evolution of the primary sequence is different between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, it is important to develop a method specifically for eukaryotic complexes. Here, we report a new hybrid pipeline for predicting the protein-protein interaction interfaces in a pairwise manner from the amino acid sequence information of the interacting proteins. It is based on the framework of Co-evolution, machine learning (Random Forest), and Network Analysis named CoRNeA trained specifically on eukaryotic protein complexes. We use Co-evolution, physicochemical properties, and contact potential as major group of features to train the Random Forest classifier. We also incorporate the intra-contact information of the individual proteins to eliminate false positives from the predictions keeping in mind that the amino acid sequence of a protein also holds information for its own folding and not only the interface propensities. Our prediction on example datasets shows that CoRNeA not only enhances the prediction of true interface residues but also reduces false positive rates significantly.

Abstract
Protein ubiquitination constitutes a post-translational modification mediated by ubiquitin ligases whereby ubiquitinated substrates are degraded through the proteasomal or lysosomal pathways, or acquire novel molecular functions according to their "ubiquitin codes." Dysfunction of the ubiquitination process in cells causes various diseases such as cancers along with neurodegenerative, auto-immune/inflammatory, and metabolic diseases. KCTD10 functions as a substrate recognition receptor for cullin-3 (CUL3), a scaffold protein in RING-type ubiquitin ligase complexes. Recently, studies by ourselves and others have identified new substrates that are ubiquitinated by the CUL3/KCTD10 ubiquitin ligase complex. Moreover, the type of polyubiquitination (e.g., K27-, K48-, or K63-chain) of various substrates (e.g., RhoB, CEP97, EIF3D, and TRIF) mediated by KCTD10 underlies its divergent roles in endothelial barrier formation, primary cilium formation, plasma membrane dynamics, cell proliferation, and immune response. Here, the physiological functions of KCTD10 are summarized and potential mechanisms are proposed.

Abstract
Cilia and flagella serve as cellular antennae and propellers in various eukaryotic cells, and contain specific receptors and ion channels as well as components of axonemal microtubules and molecular motors to achieve their sensory and motile functions. Not only the bidirectional trafficking of specific proteins within cilia but also their selective entry and exit across the ciliary gate is mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery with the aid of motor proteins. The IFT-B complex, which is powered by the kinesin-2 motor, mediates anterograde protein trafficking from the base to the tip of cilia, whereas the IFT-A complex together with the dynein-2 complex mediates retrograde protein trafficking. The BBSome complex connects ciliary membrane proteins to the IFT machinery. Defects in any component of this trafficking machinery lead to abnormal ciliogenesis and ciliary functions, and results in a broad spectrum of disorders, collectively called the ciliopathies. In this review article, we provide an overview of the architectures of the components of the IFT machinery and their functional interplay in ciliary protein trafficking.

Abstract
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by obesity, mental impairment, rod-cone dystrophy, polydactyly, male hypogonadism, and renal abnormalities. This disorder is caused by mutations in BBS1-21. Alström syndrome (AS), caused solely by mutations in ALMS1, is another genetic obesity syndrome clinically similar to BBS. We previously conducted the first nationwide survey of BBS in Japan and found four patients with genetically definite BBS. In this study, exome analyses were performed on new patients whose symptoms fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for BBS. We identified one reported heterozygous mutation in BBS1 (p.R429*) in one patient, two novel mutations (p.L493R and p.H719Y) in BBS20 in a second patient, and one novel mutation (p.Q920*) and one reported mutation (p.R2928*) in ALMS1 in a third patient, who was subsequently diagnosed with AS. The first patient with BBS was previously considered to have digenic heterozygous mutations in BBS1 and BBS4. RT-PCR and long-range genomic PCR analyses identified a new heterozygous mutation in BBS1, the deletion of exons 10 and 11. Thus, this patient was compound heterozygous for mutations in BBS1. Many studies have described digenic heterozygous mutations in BBS. However, undetected mutations might have existed in either one of the mutated genes.

Abstract
Exocyst is an evolutionarily conserved hetero-octameric tethering complex that plays a variety of roles in membrane trafficking, including exocytosis, endocytosis, autophagy, cell polarization, cytokinesis, pathogen invasion, and metastasis. Exocyst serves as a platform for interactions between the Rab, Rho, and Ral small GTPases, SNARE proteins, and Sec1/Munc18 regulators that coordinate spatial and temporal fidelity of membrane fusion. However, its mechanism is poorly described at the molecular level. Here, we determine the molecular architecture of the yeast exocyst complex by an integrative approach, based on a 3D density map from negative-stain electron microscopy (EM) at ~16 Å resolution, 434 disuccinimidyl suberate and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride cross-links from chemical-crosslinking mass spectrometry, and partial atomic models of the eight subunits. The integrative structure is validated by a previously determined cryo-EM structure, cross-links, and distances from in vivo fluorescence microscopy. Our subunit configuration is consistent with the cryo-EM structure, except for Sec5. While not observed in the cryo-EM map, the integrative model localizes the N-terminal half of Sec3 near the Sec6 subunit. Limited proteolysis experiments suggest that the conformation of Exo70 is dynamic, which may have functional implications for SNARE and membrane interactions. This study illustrates how integrative modeling based on varied low-resolution structural data can inform biologically relevant hypotheses, even in the absence of high-resolution data.

Abstract
Pneumococcal cell surface‐exposed choline‐binding proteins (CBPs) play pivotal roles in multiple infectious processes with pneumococci. Intracellular pneumococci can be recognized at multiple steps during bactericidal autophagy. However, whether CBPs are involved in pneumococci‐induced autophagic processes remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that CbpC from S. pneumoniae strain TIGR4 activates autophagy through an interaction with Atg14. However, S. pneumoniae also interferes with autophagy by deploying CbpC as a decoy to cause autophagic degradation of Atg14 through an interaction with p62/SQSTM1. Thus, S. pneumoniae suppresses the autophagic degradation of intracellular pneumococci and survives within cells. Domain analysis reveals that the coiled‐coil domain of Atg14 and residue Y83 of the dp3 domain in the N‐terminal region of CbpC are crucial for both the CbpC–Atg14 interaction and the subsequent autophagic degradation of Atg14. Although homology modeling indicates that CbpC orthologs have similar structures in the dp3 domain, autophagy induction through Atg14 binding is an intrinsic property of CbpC. Our data provide novel insights into the evolutionary hijacking of host‐defense systems by intracellular pneumococci.

Abstract
It is well known that camelids (camels and llamas) have fully functional antibodies with only a heavy chain consisting of a single variable domain and two constant domains. This single variable domain is called a "nanobody" and many nanobodies are synthesized in the cytosol of Escherichia coli, however, most of the nanobodies become inclusion bodies without tags to enhance their solubility. We generated a vector system to enable the secretary expression of nanobodies in Escherichia coli. In this system, several NBs were secreted into the culture supernatant. Since the vector contained 6xHis tag and AviTAG, biotinylation (even fluorescent-labeled) of AviTAG was achieved during cell culture, and purification of the supernatant was a step by immobilized metal ion adsorption chromatography. The procedure described in this study is believed to be as simple as regular plasmid minipreps. Therefore, many laboratories can use this method.

Abstract
In innate immunity, multiple autophagic processes eliminate intracellular pathogens, but it remains unclear whether noncanonical autophagy and xenophagy are coordinated, and whether they occur concomitantly or sequentially. Here, we show that Streptococcus pneumoniae, a causative of invasive pneumococcal disease, can trigger FIP200-, PI3P-, and ROS-independent pneumococcus-containing LC3-associated phagosome (LAPosome)-like vacuoles (PcLVs) in an early stage of infection, and that PcLVs are indispensable for subsequent formation of bactericidal pneumococcus-containing autophagic vacuoles (PcAVs). Specifically, we identified LC3- and NDP52-delocalized PcLV, which are intermediates between PcLV and PcAV. Atg14L, Beclin1, and FIP200 were responsible for delocalizing LC3 and NDP52 from PcLVs. Thus, multiple noncanonical and canonical autophagic processes are deployed sequentially against intracellular S. pneumoniae. The Atg16L1 WD domain, p62, NDP52, and poly-Ub contributed to PcLV formation. These findings reveal a previously unidentified hierarchical autophagy mechanism during bactericidal xenophagy against intracellular bacterial pathogens, and should improve our ability to control life-threating pneumococcal diseases. Ogawa, Takada et al. show that Streptococcus pneumoniae triggers the formation of pneumococcus-containing LC3-associated phagosome-like vacuoles in an early stage of infection. This study suggests a hierarchical autophagy mechanism activated by intracellular bacterial pathogens.

Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus ORF66 Is Essential for Late Gene Expression and Virus Production via Interaction with ORF34. J Virol 2020; 94:JVI.01300-19. [PMID: 31694948 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01300-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2019] [Accepted: 10/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is closely associated with B-cell and endothelial cell malignancies. After the initial infection, KSHV retains its viral genome in the nucleus of the host cell and establishes a lifelong latency. During lytic infection, KSHV-encoded lytic-related proteins are expressed in a sequential manner and are classified as immediate early, early, and late (L) gene transcripts. The transcriptional initiation of KSHV late genes is thought to require the complex formation of the viral preinitiation complex (vPIC), which may consist of at least 6 transcription factors (ORF18, -24, -30, -31, -34, and -66). However, the functional role of ORF66 in vPIC during KSHV replication remains largely unclear. Here, we generated ORF66-deficient KSHV using a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) system to evaluate its role during viral replication. While ORF66-deficient KSHV demonstrated mainly attenuated late gene expression and decreased virus production, viral DNA replication was unaffected. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed that ORF66 bound to the promoters of a late gene (K8.1) but did not bind to those of a latent gene (ORF72), an immediate early gene (ORF16), or an early gene (ORF46/47). Furthermore, we found that three highly conserved C-X-X-C sequences and a conserved leucine repeat in the C-terminal region of ORF66 were essential for the interaction with ORF34, the transcription of K8.1, and virus production. The interaction between ORF66 and ORF34 occurred in a zinc-dependent manner. Our data support a model in which ORF66 serves as a critical vPIC component to promote late viral gene expression and virus production.IMPORTANCE KSHV ORF66 is expressed during the early stages of lytic infection, and ORF66 and vPIC are thought to contribute significantly to late gene expression. However, the physiological importance of ORF66 in terms of vPIC formation remains poorly understood. Therefore, we generated an ORF66-deficient BAC clone and evaluated its viral replication. The results showed that ORF66 plays a critical role in virus production and the transcription of L genes. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing the function of ORF66 in virus replication using ORF66-deficient KSHV. We also clarified that ORF66 interacts with the transcription start site of the K8.1 gene, a late gene. Furthermore, we identified the ORF34-binding motifs in the ORF66 C terminus: three C-X-X-C sequences and a leucine-repeat sequence, which are highly conserved among beta- and gammaherpesviruses. Our study provides insights into the regulatory mechanisms of not only the late gene expression of KSHV but also those of other herpesviruses.

Abstract
Primary cilia, which protrude from the surfaces of most human cells, function as cellular antennae that receive extracellular signals. To serve as antennae, primary cilia contain unique proteins, such as G-protein-coupled receptors and ion channels. Defects in the assembly and functions of primary cilia cause hereditary disorders with a wide range of symptoms, including cystic kidney and retinal degeneration. The assembly and maintenance of cilia depend on protein trafficking mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery, which contains three protein complexes (IFT-A, IFT-B, and BBSome) and two motor proteins (kinesin-2 and dynein-2 complex) and is composed of more than 40 subunits in total. We recently revealed the interaction between the kinesin-2 and IFT-B complexes and overall architecture of the dynein-2 complex by taking advantage of the visible immunoprecipitation (VIP) assay. In addition, we clarified the roles of dynein-2 subunits using gene knockout cell lines established using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. This review focuses on recent advances in the architectures and functions of two motor proteins underlying the IFT machinery.

Abstract
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetic disorder characterized by malfunctions in primary cilia resulting from mutations that disrupt the function of the BBSome, an 8-subunit complex that plays an important role in protein transport in primary cilia. To better understand the molecular basis of BBS, here we used an integrative structural modeling approach consisting of EM and chemical cross-linking coupled with MS analyses, to analyze the structure of a BBSome 2-7-9 subcomplex consisting of three homologous BBS proteins, BBS2, BBS7, and BBS9. The resulting molecular model revealed an overall structure that resembles a flattened triangle. We found that within this structure, BBS2 and BBS7 form a tight dimer through a coiled-coil interaction and that BBS9 associates with the dimer via an interaction with the α-helical domain of BBS2. Interestingly, a BBS-associated mutation of BBS2 (R632P) is located in its α-helical domain at the interface between BBS2 and BBS9, and binding experiments indicated that this mutation disrupts the BBS2-BBS9 interaction. This finding suggests that BBSome assembly is disrupted by the R632P substitution, providing molecular insights that may explain the etiology of BBS in individuals harboring this mutation.

Abstract
The intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery, which includes the IFT-A and IFT-B complexes, mediates bidirectional trafficking of ciliary proteins. In addition to these complexes, the BBSome, which is composed of eight subunits that are encoded by the causative genes of Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), has been proposed to connect the IFT machinery to ciliary membrane proteins, such as G protein-coupled receptors, to mediate their export from cilia. However, little is known about the connection between the IFT machinery and the BBSome. Using the visible immunoprecipitation assay, we here identified the interaction between IFT38 from the IFT-B complex and BBS1, BBS2 and BBS9 from the BBSome. Furthermore, by analyzing phenotypes of IFT38-knockout cells exogenously expressing wild-type IFT38 or its mutant lacking the ability to interact with BBS1+BBS2+BBS9, we showed that knockout cells expressing the IFT38 mutant have restored ciliogenesis; however, similar to BBS1-knockout cells, they demonstrated significant accumulation of GPR161 within cilia upon stimulation of Hedgehog signaling. These results indicate that the IFT-B-BBSome interaction is required for the export of GPR161 across the ciliary gate.

Abstract
The Cdc42 guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) plays a central role in polarity development in species ranging from yeast to humans. In budding yeast, a specific growth site is selected in the G1 phase. Rsr1, a Ras GTPase, interacts with Cdc42 and its associated proteins to promote polarized growth at the proper bud site. Yet how Rsr1 regulates cell polarization is not fully understood. Here, we show that Rsr1-GDP interacts with the scaffold protein Bem1 in early G1, likely hindering the role of Bem1 in Cdc42 polarization and polarized secretion. Consistent with these in vivo observations, mathematical modeling predicts that Bem1 is unable to promote Cdc42 polarization in early G1 in the presence of Rsr1-GDP. We find that a part of the Bem1 Phox homology domain, which overlaps with a region interacting with the exocyst component Exo70, is necessary for the association of Bem1 with Rsr1-GDP. Overexpression of the GDP-locked Rsr1 interferes with Bem1-dependent Exo70 polarization. We thus propose that Rsr1 functions in spatial and temporal regulation of polarity establishment by associating with distinct polarity factors in its GTP- and GDP-bound states.

Abstract
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a recessive genetic disease causing multiple organ anomalies. Most patients carry mutations in genes encoding for the subunits of the BBSome, an octameric ciliary transport complex, or accessory proteins involved in the BBSome assembly or function. BBS proteins have been extensively studied using in vitro, cellular, and animal models. However, the molecular functions of particular BBS proteins and the etiology of the BBS symptoms are still largely elusive. In this study, we applied a meta-analysis approach to study the genotype-phenotype association in humans using our database of all reported BBS patients. The analysis revealed that the identity of the causative gene and the character of the mutation partially predict the clinical outcome of the disease. Besides their potential use for clinical prognosis, our analysis revealed functional differences of particular BBS genes in humans. Core BBSome subunits BBS2, BBS7, and BBS9 manifest as more critical for the function and development of kidneys than peripheral subunits BBS1, BBS4, and BBS8/TTC8, suggesting that incomplete BBSome retains residual function at least in the kidney.

Abstract
The unique membrane composition of cilia is maintained by a diffusion barrier at the transition zone that is breached when the BBSome escorts signaling receptors out of cilia. Understanding how the BBSome removes proteins from cilia has been hampered by a lack of structural information. Here, we present a nearly complete Cα model of BBSome purified from cow retina. The model is based on a single-particle cryo-electron microscopy density map at 4.9-Å resolution that was interpreted with the help of comprehensive Rosetta-based structural modeling constrained by crosslinking mass spectrometry data. We find that BBSome subunits have a very high degree of interconnectivity, explaining the obligate nature of the complex. Furthermore, like other coat adaptors, the BBSome exists in an autoinhibited state in solution and must thus undergo a conformational change upon recruitment to membranes by the small GTPase ARL6/BBS3. Our model provides the first detailed view of the machinery enabling ciliary exit.

Abstract
Rab small GTPases (∼60 genes in mammals) are the master regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking. Homma et al. establish a comprehensive collection of knockout epithelial cell lines for all the mammalian Rabs, revealing that Rab6 is required for basement membrane formation and soluble cargo secretion. The Rab family of small GTPases comprises the largest number of proteins (∼60 in mammals) among the regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, but the precise function of many Rabs and the functional redundancy and diversity of Rabs remain largely unknown. Here, we generated a comprehensive collection of knockout (KO) MDCK cells for the entire Rab family. We knocked out closely related paralogs simultaneously (Rab subfamily knockout) to circumvent functional compensation and found that Rab1A/B and Rab5A/B/C are critical for cell survival and/or growth. In addition, we demonstrated that Rab6-KO cells lack the basement membrane, likely because of the inability to secrete extracellular matrix components. Further analysis revealed the general requirement of Rab6 for secretion of soluble cargos. Transport of transmembrane cargos to the plasma membrane was also significantly delayed in Rab6-KO cells, but the phenotype was relatively mild. Our Rab-KO collection, which shares the same background, would be a valuable resource for analyzing a variety of membrane trafficking events.

Abstract
Cilia are organelles that serve as cellular antennae. Intraflagellar transport particles containing the IFT-A and IFT-B complexes mediate bidirectional trafficking of ciliary proteins. Particularly, in concert with the BBSome complex, IFT particles play an essential role in trafficking of ciliary G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Therefore, proteins interacting with the IFT components are potential regulators of ciliary protein trafficking. We here revealed that an uncharacterized protein, C11ORF74, interacts with the IFT-A complex via the IFT122 subunit and is accumulated at the distal tip in the absence of an IFT-A subunit IFT139, suggesting that at least a fraction of C11ORF74 molecules can be transported towards the ciliary tip by associating with the IFT-A complex, although its majority might be out of cilia at steady state. In C11ORF74-knockout (KO) cells, the BBSome components cannot enter cilia. However, trafficking of Smoothened or GPR161, both of which are ciliary GPCRs involved in Hedgehog signalling and undergo BBSome-dependent trafficking, was not affected in the absence of C11ORF74. In addition, C11orf74/B230118H07Rik- KO mice demonstrated no obvious anatomical abnormalities associated with ciliary dysfunctions. Given that C11ORF74 is conserved across vertebrates, but not found in other ciliated organisms, such as nematodes and Chlamydomonas, it might play limited roles involving cilia.

Abstract
The dynein-2 complex drives retrograde ciliary protein trafficking by associating with the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery, containing IFT-A and IFT-B complexes. We recently showed that the dynein-2 complex, which comprises 11 subunits, can be divided into three subcomplexes: DYNC2H1-DYNC2LI1, WDR34-DYNLL1/DYNLL2-DYNLRB1/DYNLRB2, and WDR60-TCTEX1D2-DYNLT1/DYNLT3. In this study, we demonstrated that the WDR34 intermediate chain interacts with the two light chains, DYNLL1/DYNLL2 and DYNLRB1/DYNLRB2, via its distinct sites. Phenotypic analyses of WDR34-knockout cells exogenously expressing various WDR34 constructs showed that the interactions of the WDR34 intermediate chain with the light chains are crucial for ciliary retrograde protein trafficking. Furthermore, we found that expression of the WDR34 N-terminal construct encompassing the light chain-binding sites but lacking the WD40 repeat domain inhibits ciliary biogenesis and retrograde trafficking in a dominant-negative manner, probably by sequestering WDR60 or the light chains. Taken together with phenotypic differences of several WDR34-knockout cell lines, these results indicate that incorporation of DYNLL1/DYNLL2 and DYNLRB1/DYNLRB2 into the dynein-2 complex via interactions with the WDR34 intermediate chain is crucial for dynein-2 function in retrograde ciliary protein trafficking.

Abstract
Recycling endosomes are stations that sort endocytic cargoes to their appropriate destinations. Tubular endosomes have been characterized as a recycling endosomal compartment for clathrin-independent cargoes. However, the molecular mechanism by which tubular endosome formation is regulated is poorly understood. In this study, we identified Rab10 as a novel protein localized at tubular endosomes by using a comprehensive localization screen of EGFP-tagged Rab small GTPases. Knockout of Rab10 completely abolished tubular endosomal structures in HeLaM cells. We also identified kinesin motors KIF13A and KIF13B as novel Rab10-interacting proteins by means of in silico screening. The results of this study demonstrated that both the Rab10-binding homology domain and the motor domain of KIF13A are required for Rab10-positive tubular endosome formation. Our findings provide insight into the mechanism by which the Rab10-KIF13A (or KIF13B) complex regulates tubular endosome formation. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
Single-celled protists use elaborate cytoskeletal structures, including arrays of microtubules at the cell periphery, to maintain polarity and rigidity. The obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii has unusually stable cortical microtubules beneath the alveoli, a network of flattened membrane vesicles that subtends the plasmalemma. However, anchoring of microtubules along alveolar membranes is not understood. Here, we show that GAPM1a, an integral membrane protein of the alveoli, plays a role in maintaining microtubule stability. Degradation of GAPM1a causes cortical microtubule disorganisation and subsequent depolymerisation. These changes in the cytoskeleton lead to parasites becoming shorter and rounder, which is accompanied by a decrease in cellular volume. Extended GAPM1a depletion leads to severe defects in division, reminiscent of the effect of disrupting other alveolar proteins. We suggest that GAPM proteins link the cortical microtubules to the alveoli and are required to maintain the shape and rigidity of apicomplexan zoites. Cortical microtubules of Toxoplasma gondii are exceptionally stable, but it isn’t known how they are anchored along membranes. Here, Harding et al. show that GAPM proteins localize to the inner membrane complex and are essential for maintaining the structural stability of parasites.

Abstract
Primary cilia are antenna-like sensory organelles that transmit various extracellular signals. Ciliogenesis requires the removal of CP110 and its interactor CEP97 from the mother centriole for initiating ciliary axoneme extension, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here we show that, upon serum starvation, CEP97 is partially degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. CEP97 was polyubiquitylated in serum-starved cells, and overexpression of a non-ubiquitylatable CEP97 mutant effectively blocked CP110 removal and ciliogenesis induced by serum-starvation. Through several screening steps, we identified the cullin-3-RBX1-KCTD10 complex as the E3 ligase that mediates CEP97 degradation and removal from the mother centriole. Depletion of each component of this E3 complex caused aberrant accumulation of CEP97 on the centrosome, suppressed the removal of CEP97 and CP110 from the mother centriole, and impaired ciliogenesis. Moreover, KCTD10 was specifically localized to the mother centriole. These results suggest that CEP97 degradation by the cullin-3-RBX1-KCTD10 complex plays a crucial role in serum-starvation-induced CP110 removal and ciliogenesis.

Abstract
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare inherited disease caused by defects in the BBSome, an octameric complex of BBS proteins. The BBSome is conserved in most organisms with cilia, which are microtubule (MT)-based cell organelles that protrude from the cell surface and function in motility and sensing. Cilia assembly, maintenance, and function require intraflagellar transport (IFT), a bidirectional motility of multi-megadalton IFT trains propelled by molecular motors along the ciliary MTs. IFT has been shown to transport structural proteins, including tubulin, into growing cilia. The BBSome is an adapter for the transport of ciliary membrane proteins and cycles through cilia via IFT. While both the loss and the abnormal accumulation of ciliary membrane proteins have been observed in bbs mutants, recent data converge on a model where the BBSome mainly functions as a cargo adapter for the removal of certain transmembrane and peripheral membrane proteins from cilia. Here, we review recent data on the ultrastructure of the BBSome and how the BBSome recognizes its cargoes and mediates their removal from cilia.

Abstract
A major challenge for a molecular understanding of membrane trafficking has been the elucidation of high-resolution structures of large, multisubunit tethering complexes that spatially and temporally control intracellular membrane fusion. Exocyst is a large hetero-octameric protein complex proposed to tether secretory vesicles at the plasma membrane to provide quality control of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE)-mediated membrane fusion. Breakthroughs in methodologies, including sample preparation, biochemical characterization, fluorescence microscopy, and single-particle cryoelectron microscopy, are providing critical insights into the structure and function of the exocyst. These studies now pose more questions than answers for understanding fundamental functional mechanisms, and they open wide the door for future studies to elucidate interactions with protein and membrane partners, potential conformational changes, and molecular insights into tethering reactions.

Abstract
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is crucial for the assembly and maintenance of cilia and is mediated by IFT particles containing IFT-A and IFT-B complexes. IFT-B powered by heterotrimeric kinesin-II and IFT-A powered by the dynein-2 complex are responsible for anterograde and retrograde protein trafficking, respectively. However, little is known about the molecular basis of the trafficking of these IFT particles regulated by kinesin and dynein motors. Using the visible immunoprecipitation assay, we identified in this study a three-to-four protein interaction involving the kinesin-II trimer KIF3A-KIF3B-KAP3 and the IFT-B-connecting tetramer IFT38-IFT52-IFT57-IFT88; among the kinesin-II subunits, KIF3B contributed mainly to IFT-B binding. Furthermore, we showed that the ciliogenesis defect of KIF3B-knockout cells can be rescued by the exogenous expression of wild-type KIF3B but not by that of its mutant compromised with respect to IFT-B binding. Thus, interaction of heterotrimeric kinesin-II with the IFT-B-connecting tetramer is crucial for ciliogenesis via the powering of IFT particles to move in the anterograde direction.
