Abstract
RNF11 (Ring Finger Protein 11) is a 154 amino-acid long protein that contains a RING-H2 domain, whose sequence has remained substantially unchanged throughout vertebrate evolution. RNF11 has drawn attention as a modulator of protein degradation by HECT E3 ligases. Indeed, the large number of substrates that are regulated by HECT ligases, such as ITCH, SMURF1/2, WWP1/2, and NEDD4, and their role in turning off the signaling by ubiquitin-mediated degradation, candidates RNF11 as the master regulator of a plethora of signaling pathways. Starting from the analysis of the primary sequence motifs and from the list of RNF11 protein partners, we summarize the evidence implicating RNF11 as an important player in modulating ubiquitin-regulated processes that are involved in transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) signaling pathways. This connection appears to be particularly significant, since RNF11 is overexpressed in several tumors, even though its role as tumor growth inhibitor or promoter is still controversial. The review highlights the different facets and peculiarities of this unconventional small RING-E3 ligase and its implication in tumorigenesis, invasion, neuroinflammation, and cancer metastasis.

Ring Finger Protein 11 (RNF11) Modulates Dopamine Release in Drosophila. Neuroscience 2020; 452:37-48.

Abstract
Recent work indicates a role for RING finger protein 11 (RNF11) in Parkinson disease (PD) pathology, which involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons. However, the role of RNF11 in regulating dopamine neurotransmission has not been studied. In this work, we tested the effect of RNF11 RNAi knockdown or overexpression on stimulated dopamine release in the larval Drosophila central nervous system. Dopamine release was stimulated using optogenetics and monitored in real-time using fast-scan cyclic voltammetry at an electrode implanted in an isolated ventral nerve cord. RNF11 knockdown doubled dopamine release, but there was no decrease in dopamine from RNF11 overexpression. RNF11 knockdown did not significantly increase stimulated serotonin or octopamine release, indicating the effect is dopamine specific. Dopamine clearance was also changed, as RNF11 RNAi flies had a higher Vmax and RNF11 overexpressing flies had a lower Vmax than control flies. RNF11 RNAi flies had increased mRNA levels of dopamine transporter (DAT) in RNF11, confirming changes in DAT. In RNF11 RNAi flies, release was maintained better for stimulations repeated at short intervals, indicating increases in the recycled releasable pool of dopamine. Nisoxetine, a DAT inhibitor, and flupenthixol, a D2 antagonist, did not affect RNF11 RNAi or overexpressing flies differently than control. Thus, RNF11 knockdown causes early changes in dopamine neurotransmission, and this is the first work to demonstrate that RNF11 affects both dopamine release and uptake. RNF11 expression decreases in human dopaminergic neurons during PD, and that decrease may be protective by increasing dopamine neurotransmission in the surviving dopaminergic neurons.

Abstract
Neural development is a complex process that involves critical events, including cytoskeleton dynamics and selective trafficking of proteins to defined cellular destinations. In this regard, Smad Anchor for Receptor Activation (SARA) is an early endosome resident protein, where perform trafficking- associated functions. In addition, SARA is also involved in cell signaling, including the TGFβ-dependent pathway. Accordingly, SARA, and TGFβ signaling are required for proper axonal specification and migration of cortical neurons, unveiling a critical role for neuronal development. However, the cooperative action between the TGFβ pathway and SARA to this process has remained understudied. In this work, we show novel evidence suggesting a cross-talk between SARA and TGFβ pathway needed for proper polarization, axonal specification, growth and cortical migration of central neurons both in vitro and in vivo. Using microscopy tools and cultured hippocampal neurons, we show a local interaction between SARA and TβRI (TGFβ I receptor) at endosomes. In addition, SARA loss of function, induced by the expression of the dominant-negative SARA-F728A, over-activates the TGFβ pathway, most likely by preserving phosphorylated TβRI. Consequently, SARA-mediated activation of TGFβ pathway impacts on neuronal development, promoting axonal growth and cortical migration of neurons during brain development. Moreover, our data suggests that SARA basally prevents the activation of TβRI through the recruitment of the inhibitory complex PP1c/GADD34 in polarizing neurons. Together, these results propose that SARA is a negative regulator of the TGFβ pathway, being critical for a proper orchestration for neuronal development.

Abstract
Ligand binding to the cell surface receptors initiates signaling cascades that are commonly transduced through a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network to activate a plethora of response pathways. However, tools to capture the membrane PPI network are lacking. Here, we describe a cross-linking-aided mass spectrometry workflow for isolation and identification of signal-dependent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) proteome. We performed protein cross-linking in cell culture at various time points following EGF treatment, followed by immunoprecipitation of endogenous EGFR and analysis of the associated proteins by quantitative mass spectrometry. We identified 140 proteins with high confidence during a 2 h time course by data-dependent acquisition and further validated the results by parallel reaction monitoring. A large proportion of proteins in the EGFR proteome function in endocytosis and intracellular protein transport. The EGFR proteome was highly dynamic with distinct temporal behavior; 10 proteins that appeared in all time points constitute the core proteome. Functional characterization showed that loss of the FYVE domain-containing proteins altered the EGFR intracellular distribution but had a minor effect on EGFR proteome or signaling. Thus, our results suggest that the EGFR proteome include functional regulators that influence EGFR signaling and bystanders that are captured as the components of endocytic vesicles. The high-resolution spatiotemporal information of these molecules facilitates the delineation of many pathways that could determine the strength and duration of the signaling, as well as the location and destination of the receptor.

New Player in Endosomal Trafficking: Differential Roles of Smad Anchor for Receptor Activation (SARA) Protein. Mol Cell Biol 2018; 38:MCB.00446-18.

Abstract
The development and maintenance of multicellular organisms require specialized coordination between external cellular signals and the proteins receiving stimuli and regulating responses. A critical role in the proper functioning of these processes is played by endosomal trafficking, which enables the transport of proteins to targeted sites as well as their return to the plasma membrane through its essential components, the endosomes. During this trafficking, signaling pathways controlling functions related to the endosomal system are activated both directly and indirectly. Although there are a considerable number of molecules participating in these processes, some are more known than others for their specific functions. Toward the end of the 1990s, Smad anchor for receptor activation (SARA) protein was described to be controlling and to facilitate the localization of Smads to transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) receptors during TGF-β signaling activation, and, strikingly, SARA was also identified to be one of the proteins that bind to early endosomes (EEs) participating in membrane trafficking in several cell models. The purpose of this review is to analyze the state of the art of the contribution of SARA in different cell types and cellular contexts, focusing on the biological role of SARA in two main processes, trafficking and cellular signaling, both of which are necessary for intercellular coordination, communication, and development.

The endosomal transcriptional regulator RNF11 integrates degradation and transport of EGFR. J Cell Biol 2016; 215:543-558.

Abstract
Maintenance of EGFR plasma membrane levels is critical for cell functioning. Scharaw et al. demonstrate that endosomal RNF11 is required for transcriptional up-regulation of COPII components, specifically facilitating EGFR transport in response to its lysosomal degradation after EGF stimulation. Stimulation of cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces internalization and partial degradation of the EGF receptor (EGFR) by the endo-lysosomal pathway. For continuous cell functioning, EGFR plasma membrane levels are maintained by transporting newly synthesized EGFRs to the cell surface. The regulation of this process is largely unknown. In this study, we find that EGF stimulation specifically increases the transport efficiency of newly synthesized EGFRs from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane. This coincides with an up-regulation of the inner coat protein complex II (COPII) components SEC23B, SEC24B, and SEC24D, which we show to be specifically required for EGFR transport. Up-regulation of these COPII components requires the transcriptional regulator RNF11, which localizes to early endosomes and appears additionally in the cell nucleus upon continuous EGF stimulation. Collectively, our work identifies a new regulatory mechanism that integrates the degradation and transport of EGFR in order to maintain its physiological levels at the plasma membrane.
