Abstract
Sorting nexin 27 is a unique member of the sorting nexin family of proteins that mediates the endosome-to-plasma membrane trafficking of cargos bearing a PSD95/Dlg1/ZO-1 (PDZ)-binding motif. In brain, sorting nexin 27 regulates synaptic plasticity, and its dysregulation contributes to cognitive impairment and neuronal degeneration. In T lymphocytes, sorting nexin 27 partners with diacylglycerol kinase ζ to facilitate polarized traffic and signaling at the immune synapse. By silencing sorting nexin 27 expression in a human T-cell line, we demonstrate that sorting nexin 27 is a key regulator of the early T-cell tyrosine-based signaling cascade. Sorting nexin 27 transcriptionally controls CD4 abundance in resting conditions and that of its associated molecule, Lck. This guarantees the adequate recruitment of Lck at the immune synapse, which is indispensable for subsequent activation of tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated events. In contrast, reduced sorting nexin 27 expression enhances NF-κB-dependent induction of CXCR4 and triggers production of lytic enzymes and proinflammatory cytokines. These results provide mechanistic explanation to previously described sorting nexin 27 function in the control of immune synapse organization and indicate that impaired sorting nexin 27 expression contributes to CD4 T-cell dysfunction.

Abstract
Endosomes are central protein-sorting stations at the crossroads of numerous membrane trafficking pathways in all eukaryotes. They have a key role in protein homeostasis and cellular signalling and are involved in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. Endosome-associated protein assemblies or coats collect transmembrane cargo proteins and concentrate them into retrieval domains. These domains can extend into tubular carriers, which then pinch off from the endosomal membrane and deliver the cargoes to appropriate subcellular compartments. Here we discuss novel insights into the structure of a number of tubular membrane coats that mediate the recruitment of cargoes into these carriers, focusing on sorting nexin-based coats such as Retromer, Commander and ESCPE-1. We summarize current and emerging views of how selective tubular endosomal carriers form and detach from endosomes by fission, highlighting structural aspects, conceptual challenges and open questions.

Abstract
Plasma membrane protein degradation and recycling is regulated by the endolysosomal system, wherein endosomes bud from the plasma membrane into the cytosol and mature into degradative lysosomes. As such, the endolysosomal system plays a critical role in determining the abundance of proteins on the cell surface, influencing cellular identity and function. Highly polarized cells, like neurons, rely on the endolysosomal system for axonal and dendritic specialization and synaptic compartmentalization. The importance of this system to neuronal function is reflected by the prevalence of risk variants in components of the system in several neurodegenerative diseases, ranging from Parkinson's to Alzheimer's disease. Nevertheless, our understanding of endocytic cargo and core endolysosomal machinery in neurons is limited, in part due to technical limitations. Here, we developed a toolkit for capturing EEA1-postive endosomes (Endo-IP) and TMEM192-positive lysosomes (Lyso-IP) in stem cell-derived induced neurons (iNeurons). We demonstrated its utility by revealing the endolysosomal protein landscapes for cortical-like iNeurons and stem cells. This allowed us to globally profile endocytic cargo, identifying hundreds of transmembrane proteins, including neurogenesis and synaptic proteins, as well as endocytic cargo with predicted SNX17 or SNX27 recognition motifs. By contrast, parallel lysosome profiling reveals a simpler protein repertoire, reflecting in part temporally controlled recycling or degradation for many endocytic targets. This system will facilitate mechanistic interrogation of endolysosomal components found as risk factors in neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Introduction Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) extensively reorganize the membrane system of the cell and establish a new structure as large as the cell nucleus called the assembly compartment (AC). Our previous studies on murine CMV (MCMV)-infected fibroblasts indicated that the inner part of the AC contains rearranged early endosomes, recycling endosomes, endosomal recycling compartments and trans-Golgi membrane structures that are extensively tubulated, including the expansion and retention of tubular Rab10 elements. An essential process that initiates Rab10-associated tubulation is cargo sorting and retrieval mediated by SNX27, Retromer, and ESCPE-1 (endosomal SNX-BAR sorting complex for promoting exit 1) complexes. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the role of SNX27:Retromer:ESCPE-1 complexes in the biogenesis of pre-AC in MCMV-infected cells and subsequently their role in secondary envelopment and release of infectious virions. Results Here we show that SNX27:Retromer:ESCPE1-mediated tubulation is essential for the establishment of a Rab10-decorated subset of membranes within the pre-AC, a function that requires an intact F3 subdomain of the SNX27 FERM domain. Suppression of SNX27-mediated functions resulted in an almost tenfold decrease in the release of infectious virions. However, these effects cannot be directly linked to the contribution of SNX27:Retromer:ESCPE-1-dependent tubulation to the secondary envelopment, as suppression of these components, including the F3-FERM domain, led to a decrease in MCMV protein expression and inhibited the progression of the replication cycle. Conclusion This study demonstrates a novel and important function of membrane tubulation within the pre-AC associated with the control of viral protein expression.

Abstract
Vacuolar protein sorting 35 (VPS35), a critical component of the retromer complex, plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It is involved in protein transmembrane sorting, facilitating the transport from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and plasma membrane. Recent investigations have compellingly associated mutations in the VPS35 gene with neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. These genetic alterations are implicated in protein misfolding, disrupted autophagic processes, mitochondrial dysregulation, and synaptic impairment. Furthermore, VPS35 exerts a notable impact on neurogenesis by influencing neuronal functionality, protein conveyance, and synaptic performance. Dysregulation or mutation of VPS35 may escalate the progression of neurodegenerative conditions, underscoring its pivotal role in safeguarding neuronal integrity. This review comprehensively discusses the role of VPS35 and its functional impairments in NDs. Furthermore, we provide an overview of the impact of VPS35 on neurogenesis and further explore the intricate relationship between neurogenesis and NDs. These research advancements offer novel perspectives and valuable insights for identifying potential therapeutic targets in the treatment of NDs.

Abstract
Endocytic recycling is an intracellular trafficking pathway that returns endocytosed molecules to the plasma membrane via the recycling endosome. This pathway plays a crucial role in remodelling plasma membrane composition and is thus essential for cellular homeostasis. In plants, endocytic recycling regulates the localization and abundance of receptors, transporters, and channels at the plasma membrane that are involved in many aspects of plant growth and development. Despite its importance, the recycling endosome and the underlying sorting mechanisms for cargo recycling in plants remain understudied in comparison to the endocytic recycling pathways in animals. In this review, we focus on the cumulative evidence suggesting the existence of endosomes decorated by regulators that contribute to recycling in plant cells. We summarize the chemical inhibitors used for analysing cargo recycling and discuss recent advances in our understanding of how endocytic recycling participates in various plant cellular and physiological events.

Abstract
Commander is a multiprotein complex that orchestrates endosomal recycling of integral cargo proteins and is essential for normal development. While the structure of this complex has recently been described, how cargo proteins are selected for Commander-mediated recycling remains unclear. Here we identify the mechanism through which the unstructured carboxy-terminal tail of the cargo adaptor sorting nexin-17 (SNX17) directly binds to the Retriever sub-complex of Commander. SNX17 adopts an autoinhibited conformation where its carboxy-terminal tail occupies the cargo binding groove. Competitive cargo binding overcomes this autoinhibition, promoting SNX17 endosomal residency and the release of the tail for Retriever association. Furthermore, our study establishes the central importance of SNX17-Retriever association in the handover of integrin and lipoprotein receptor cargoes into pre-existing endosomal retrieval sub-domains. In describing the principal mechanism of cargo entry into the Commander recycling pathway we provide key insight into the function and regulation of this evolutionary conserved sorting pathway.

Abstract
Endosomal membrane trafficking is mediated by specific protein coats and formation of actin-rich membrane domains. The Retromer complex coordinates with sorting nexin (SNX) cargo adaptors including SNX27, and the SNX27-Retromer assembly interacts with the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein and SCAR homolog (WASH) complex which nucleates actin filaments establishing the endosomal recycling domain. Crystal structures, modeling, biochemical, and cellular validation reveal how the FAM21 subunit of WASH interacts with both Retromer and SNX27. FAM21 binds the FERM domain of SNX27 using acidic-Asp-Leu-Phe (aDLF) motifs similar to those found in the SNX1 and SNX2 subunits of the ESCPE-1 complex. Overlapping FAM21 repeats and a specific Pro-Leu containing motif bind three distinct sites on Retromer involving both the VPS35 and VPS29 subunits. Mutation of the major VPS35-binding site does not prevent cargo recycling; however, it partially reduces endosomal WASH association indicating that a network of redundant interactions promote endosomal activity of the WASH complex. These studies establish the molecular basis for how SNX27-Retromer is coupled to the WASH complex via overlapping and multiplexed motif-based interactions required for the dynamic assembly of endosomal membrane recycling domains.

Abstract
The retromer is a cellular structure that recruits and recycles proteins inside the cell. In mammalian and yeast, the retromer components have been widely studied, but very little in parasites. In yeast, it is formed by a SNX-BAR membrane remodeling heterodimer and the cargo selecting complex (CSC), composed by three proteins. One of them, the Vps26 protein, possesses a flexible and intrinsically disordered region (IDR), that facilitates interactions with other proteins and contributes to the retromer binding to the endosomal membrane. In Entamoeba histolytica, the protozoan parasite responsible for human amoebiasis, the retromer actively participates during the high mobility and phagocytosis of trophozoites, but the molecular details in these events, are almost unknown. Here, we studied the EhVps26 role in phagocytosis. Bioinformatic analyses of EhVps26 revealed a typical arrestin folding structure of the protein, and a long and charged IDR, as described in other systems. EhVps26 molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) allowed us to predict binding pockets for EhVps35, EhSNX3, and a PX domain-containing protein; these pockets were disorganized in a EhVps26 truncated version lacking the IDR. The AlphaFold2 software predicted the interaction of EhVps26 with EhVps35, EhVps29 and EhSNX3, in a model similar to the reported mammalian crystals. By confocal and transmission electron microscopy, EhVps26 was found in the trophozoites plasma membrane, cytosol, endosomes, and Golgi-like apparatus. During phagocytosis, it followed the erythrocytes pathway, probably participating in cargoes selection and recycling. Ehvps26 gene knocking down evidenced that the EhVps26 protein is necessary for efficient phagocytosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vacuolar Protein Sorting 35 (VPS35) is pivotal in the retromer complex, governing transmembrane protein trafficking within cells, and its dysfunction is implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. A missense mutation, Asp620Asn (D620N), specifically ties to familial late-onset Parkinson's, while reduced VPS35 levels are observed in Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and tauopathies. VPS35's absence in certain neurons during development can initiate neurodegeneration, highlighting its necessity for neural health. Present therapeutic research mainly targets the clearance of harmful protein aggregates and symptom management. Innovative treatments focusing on VPS35 are under investigation, although fully understanding the mechanisms and optimal targeting strategies remain a challenge. AREAS COVERED This review offers a detailed account of VPS35's discovery, its role in neurodegenerative mechanisms - especially in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's - and its link to other disorders. It shines alight on recent insights into VPS35's function in development, disease, and as a therapeutic target. EXPERT OPINION VPS35 is integral to cellular function and disease association, making it a significant candidate for developing therapies. Progress in modulating VPS35's activity may lead to breakthrough treatments that not only slow disease progression but may also act as biomarkers for neurodegeneration risk, marking a step forward in managing these complex conditions.

Abstract
Copper is a trace element required by the organism, but once the level of copper exceeds the threshold, it becomes toxic and even causes death. The underlying mechanisms of copper-induced death are inconclusive, with different studies showing different opinions on the mechanism of copper-induced death. Multiple investigations have shown that copper induces oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, nucleolar stress, and proteasome inhibition, all of which can result in cell death. The latest research elucidates a copper-dependent death and denominates it as cuproptosis. Cuproptosis takes place through the combination of copper and lipoylated proteins of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, triggering agglomeration of lipoylated proteins and loss of iron-sulfur cluster proteins, leading to proteotoxic stress and ultimately death. Given the toxicity and necessity of copper, abnormal levels of copper lead to diseases such as neurological diseases and cancer. The development of cancer has a high demand for copper, neurological diseases involve the change of copper contents and the binding of copper to proteins. There is a close relationship between these two kinds of diseases and copper. Here, we summarize the mechanisms of copper-related death, and the association between copper and diseases, to better figure out the influence of copper in cell death and diseases, thus advancing the clinical remedy of these diseases.

Abstract
Oncogenic HPV E6 proteins have a PDZ-binding motif (PBM) which plays important roles in both the viral life cycle and tumor development. The PBM confers interaction with a large number of different PDZ domain-containing substrates, one of which is Sorting Nexin 27. This protein is part of the retromer complex and plays an important role in endocytic sorting pathways. It has been shown that at least two SNX27 interacting partners, GLUT1 and TANC2, are aberrantly trafficked due to the E6 PBM-dependent interaction with SNX27. To investigate further which other components of the endocytic trafficking pathway might be affected by the SNX27-HPV E6 interaction, we analyzed the SNX27 proteome interaction profile in a previously described HeLa cell line expressing GFP-SNX27, both in the presence and absence of the HPV-18 E6 oncoprotein. In this study, we identify a novel interacting partner of SNX27, secreted glycoprotein EMILIN2, whose release is blocked by HPV18 E6 in a PBM-dependent manner. Mechanistically, E6 can block EMILIN2 interaction with the WNT1 ligand, thereby enhancing WNT1 signaling and promoting cell proliferation. IMPORTANCE This study demonstrates that HPV E6 blocks EMILIN2 inhibition of WNT1 signaling, thereby enhancing cell proliferation in HPV-positive tumor cells. This involves a novel mechanism whereby the E6 PBM actually contributes toward enhancing the interaction between SNX27 and EMILIN2, suggesting that the mode of recognition of SNX27 by E6 and EMILIN2 is different. This is the first example of the E6 PBM altering a PDZ domain-containing protein to enhance potential substrate recognition.

Abstract
PURPOSE Spastic paraplegia, intellectual disability, nystagmus, and obesity syndrome (SINO) is a rare autosomal dominant condition caused by heterozygous variants in KIDINS220. A total of 12 individuals are reported, comprising 8 with SINO and 4 with an autosomal recessive condition attributed to biallelic KIDINS220 variants. METHODS In our international cohort, we have included 14 individuals, carrying 13 novel pathogenic KIDINS220 variants in heterozygous form. We assessed the clinical and molecular data of our cohort and previously reported individuals and, based on functional experiments, reached a better understanding of the pathogenesis behind the KIDINS220-related disease. RESULTS Using fetal tissue and in vitro assays, we demonstrate that the variants generate KIDINS220 truncated forms that mislocalize in punctate intracellular structures, with decreased levels of the full-length protein, suggesting a trans-dominant negative effect. A total of 92% had their diagnosis within 3 years, with symptoms of developmental delay, spasticity, hypotonia, lack of eye contact, and nystagmus. We identified a KIDINS220 variant associated with fetal hydrocephalus and show that 58% of examined individuals present brain ventricular dilatation. We extend the phenotypic spectrum of SINO syndrome to behavioral manifestations not previously highlighted. CONCLUSION Our study provides further insights into the clinical spectrum, etiology, and predicted functional impact of KIDINS220 variants.

Abstract
ATG5 is one of the core autophagy proteins with additional functions such as noncanonical membrane atg8ylation, which among a growing number of biological outputs includes control of tuberculosis in animal models. Here we show that ATG5 associates with retromer's core components VPS26, VPS29 and VPS35 and modulates retromer function. Knockout of ATG5 blocked trafficking of a key glucose transporter sorted by the retromer, GLUT1, to the plasma membrane. Knockouts of other genes essential for membrane atg8ylation, of which ATG5 is a component, affected GLUT1 sorting, indicating that membrane atg8ylation as a process affects retromer function and endosomal sorting. The contribution of membrane atg8ylation to retromer function in GLUT1 sorting was independent of canonical autophagy. These findings expand the scope of membrane atg8ylation to specific sorting processes in the cell dependent on the retromer and its known interactors.

Abstract
Multiple essential membrane trafficking pathways converge at endosomes to maintain cellular homeostasis by sorting critical transmembrane cargo proteins to the plasma membrane or the trans-Golgi network (TGN). The Retromer heterotrimer (VPS26/VPS35/VPS29 subunits) binds multiple sorting nexin (SNX) proteins on endosomal membranes, but molecular mechanisms regarding formation and regulation of metazoan SNX/Retromer complexes have been elusive. Here, we combine biochemical and biophysical approaches with AlphaFold2 Multimer modeling to identify a direct interaction between the VARP N-terminus and SNX27 PDZ domain. VARP and SNX27 interact with high nanomolar affinity using the binding pocket established for PDZ binding motif (PDZbm) cargo. Specific point mutations in VARP abrogate the interaction in vitro. We further establish a full biochemical reconstitution system using purified mammalian proteins to directly and systematically test whether multiple endosomal coat complexes are recruited to membranes to generate tubules. We successfully use purified coat components to demonstrate which combinations of Retromer with SNX27, ESCPE-1 (SNX2/SNX6), or both complexes can remodel membranes containing physiological cargo motifs and phospholipid composition. SNX27, alone and with Retromer, induces tubule formation in the presence of PI(3)P and PDZ cargo motifs. ESCPE-1 deforms membranes enriched with Folch I and CI-MPR cargo motifs, but surprisingly does not recruit Retromer. Finally, we find VARP is required to reconstitute a proposed endosomal "supercomplex" containing SNX27, ESCPE-1, and Retromer on PI(3)P-enriched membranes. These data suggest VARP functions as a key regulator in metazoans to promote cargo sorting out of endosomes.

Abstract
Lowe Syndrome (LS) is a rare X-linked disorder characterized by renal dysfunction, cataracts, and several central nervous system (CNS) anomalies. The mechanisms underlying the neurological dysfunction in LS remain unclear, albeit they share some phenotypic characteristics similar to the deficiency or dysfunction of the Reelin signaling, a relevant pathway with roles in CNS development and neuronal functions. In this study, we investigated the role of OCRL1, an inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase encoded by the OCRL gene, mutated in LS, focusing on its impact on endosomal trafficking and receptor recycling in human neuronal cells. Specifically, we tested the effects of OCRL1 deficiency in the trafficking and signaling of ApoER2/LRP8, a receptor for the ligand Reelin. We found that loss of OCRL1 impairs ApoER2 intracellular trafficking, leading to reduced receptor expression and decreased levels at the plasma membrane. Additionally, human neurons deficient in OCRL1 showed impairments in ApoER2/Reelin-induced responses. Our findings highlight the critical role of OCRL1 in regulating ApoER2 endosomal recycling and its impact on the ApoER2/Reelin signaling pathway, providing insights into potential mechanisms underlying the neurological manifestations of LS.

Abstract
ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2), a multifunctional transmembrane protein, is well recognized as an important member of the (RAS) renin-angiotensin system with important roles in the regulation of cardiovascular function by opposing the harmful effects of Ang-II (angiotensin II) and AT1R (Ang-II type 1 receptor) activation. More recently, ACE2 was found to be the entry point for the SARS-CoV-2 virus into cells, causing COVID-19. This finding has led to an exponential rise in the number of publications focused on ACE2, albeit these studies often have opposite objectives to the preservation of ACE2 in cardiovascular regulation. However, notwithstanding accumulating data of the role of ACE2 in the generation of angiotensin-(1-7) and SARS-CoV-2 internalization, numerous other putative roles of this enzyme remain less investigated and not yet characterized. Currently, no drug modulating ACE2 function or expression is available in the clinic, and the development of new pharmacological tools should attempt targeting each step of the lifespan of the protein from synthesis to degradation. The present review expands on our presentation during the 2023 Lewis K. Dahl Memorial Lecture Sponsored by the American Heart Association Council on Hypertension. We provide a critical summary of the current knowledge of the mechanisms controlling ACE2 internalization and intracellular trafficking, the mutual regulation with GPCRs (G-protein-coupled receptors) and other proteins, and posttranslational modifications. A major focus is on ubiquitination which has become a critical step in the modulation of ACE2 cellular levels.

Abstract
Early endosomes sort transmembrane cargo either for lysosomal degradation or retrieval to the plasma membrane or the Golgi complex. Endosomal retrieval in eukaryotes is governed by the anciently homologous retromer or retriever complexes. Each comprises a core tri-protein subcomplex, membrane-deformation proteins and interacting partner complexes, together retrieving a variety of known cargo proteins. Trichomonas vaginalis, a sexually transmitted human parasite, uses the endomembrane system for pathogenesis. It has massively and selectively expanded its endomembrane protein complement, the evolutionary path of which has been largely unexplored. Our molecular evolutionary study of retromer, retriever and associated machinery in parabasalids and its free-living sister lineage of Anaeramoeba demonstrates specific expansion of the retromer machinery, contrasting with the retriever components. We also observed partial loss of the Commander complex and sorting nexins in Parabasalia but complete retention in Anaeramoeba. Notably, we identified putative parabasalid sorting nexin analogs. Finally, we report the first retriever protein localization in a non-metazoan group along with retromer protein localization in T. vaginalis.

Abstract
Endosome fission is required for the release of carrier vesicles and the recycling of receptors to the plasma membrane. Early events in endosome budding and fission rely on actin branching to constrict the endosomal membrane, ultimately leading to nucleotide hydrolysis and enzymatic fission. However, our current understanding of this process is limited, particularly regarding the coordination between the early and late steps of endosomal fission. Here we have identified a novel interaction between the endosomal scaffolding protein, MICAL-L1, and the human homolog of the Drosophila Nervous Wreck (Nwk) protein, FCH and double SH3 domains protein 2 (FCHSD2). We demonstrate that MICAL-L1 recruits FCHSD2 to the endosomal membrane, where it is required for ARP2/3-mediated generation of branched actin, endosome fission and receptor recycling to the plasma membrane. Since MICAL-L1 first recruits FCHSD2 to the endosomal membrane, and is subsequently responsible for recruitment of the ATPase and fission protein EHD1 to endosomes, our findings support a model in which MICAL-L1 orchestrates endosomal fission by connecting between the early actin-driven and subsequent nucleotide hydrolysis steps of the process.

Abstract
The recycling of membrane proteins from endosomes to the cell surface is vital for cell signaling and survival. Retriever, a trimeric complex of vacuolar protein-sorting-associated protein (VPS)35L, VPS26C and VPS29, together with the CCC complex comprising coiled-coil domain-containing (CCDC)22, CCDC93 and copper metabolism domain-containing (COMMD) proteins, plays a crucial role in this process. The precise mechanisms underlying retriever assembly and its interaction with CCC have remained elusive. Here, we present a high-resolution structure of retriever in humans determined using cryogenic electron microscopy. The structure reveals a unique assembly mechanism, distinguishing it from its remotely related paralog retromer. By combining AlphaFold predictions and biochemical, cellular and proteomic analyses, we further elucidate the structural organization of the entire retriever-CCC complex across evolution and uncover how cancer-associated mutations in humans disrupt complex formation and impair membrane protein homeostasis. These findings provide a fundamental framework for understanding the biological and pathological implications associated with retriever-CCC-mediated endosomal recycling.

Abstract
Astrocyte aerobic glycolysis provides vital trophic support for central nervous system neurons. However, whether and how astrocytic metabolic dysregulation contributes to neuronal dysfunction in intellectual disability (ID) remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate a causal role for an ID-associated SNX27 mutation (R198W) in cognitive deficits involving reshaping astrocytic metabolism. We generated SNX27R196W (equivalent to human R198W) knock-in mice and found that they displayed deficits in synaptic function and learning behaviors. SNX27R196W resulted in attenuated astrocytic glucose uptake via GLUT1, leading to reduced lactate production and a switch from homeostatic to reactive astrocytes. Importantly, lactate supplementation or a ketogenic diet restored neuronal oxidative phosphorylation and reversed cognitive deficits in SNX27R196W mice. In summary, we illustrate a key role for astrocytic SNX27 in maintaining glucose supply and glycolysis and reveal that altered astrocytic metabolism disrupts the astrocyte-neuron interaction, which contributes to ID. Our work also suggests a feasible strategy for treating ID by restoring astrocytic metabolic function.

Abstract
Endosomal coats incorporate membrane-binding subunits such as sorting nexin (SNX) proteins. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SNX-BAR paralogs Vin1 and Vps5 are respective subunits of the endosomal VINE and retromer complexes whose dimerizing BAR domains are required for complex assembly and membrane association. However, a degree of promiscuity is predicted for yeast BAR-BAR pairings, and recent work has implicated the unstructured N-terminal domains of Vin1 and Vps5 in coat formation. Here, we map N-terminal signals in both SNX-BAR paralogs that contribute to the assembly and function of two distinct endosomal coats in vivo. Whereas Vin1 leverages a polybasic region and adjacent hydrophobic motif to bind Vrl1 and form VINE, the N-terminus of Vps5 interacts with the retromer subunit Vps29 at two sites, including a conserved hydrophobic pocket in Vps29 that engages other accessory proteins in humans. We also examined the sole isoform of Vps5 from the milk yeast Kluyveromyces lactis and found that ancestral yeasts may have used a nested N-terminal signal to form both VINE and retromer. Our results suggest that the specific assembly of Vps5-family SNX-BAR coats depends on inputs from unique N-terminal sequence features in addition to BAR domain coupling, expanding our understanding of endosomal coat biology.

Abstract
Membrane trafficking, a fundamental cellular process encompassing the transport of molecules to specific organelles, endocytosis at the plasma membrane and protein secretion, is crucial for cellular homeostasis and signalling. Cancer cells adapt membrane trafficking to enhance their survival and metabolism, and understanding these adaptations is vital for improving patient responses to therapy and identifying therapeutic targets. In this Review, we provide a concise overview of major membrane trafficking pathways and detail adaptations in these pathways, including COPII-dependent endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-Golgi vesicle trafficking, COPI-dependent retrograde Golgi-to-ER trafficking and endocytosis, that have been found in cancer. We explore how these adaptations confer growth advantages or resistance to cell death and conclude by discussing the potential for utilising this knowledge in developing new treatment strategies and overcoming drug resistance for cancer patients.

Abstract
Sleep disorders increase the risk and mortality of heart disease, but the brain-heart interaction has not yet been fully elucidated. Cuproptosis is a copper-dependent type of cell death activated by the excessive accumulation of intracellular copper. Here, we showed that 16 weeks of sleep fragmentation (SF) resulted in elevated copper levels in the male mouse heart and exacerbated myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury with increased myocardial cuproptosis and apoptosis. Mechanistically, we found that SF promotes sympathetic overactivity, increases the germination of myocardial sympathetic nerve terminals, and increases the level of norepinephrine in cardiac tissue, thereby inhibits VPS35 expression and leads to impaired ATP7A related copper transport and copper overload in cardiomyocytes. Copper overload further leads to exacerbated cuproptosis and apoptosis, and these effects can be rescued by excision of the sympathetic nerve or administration of copper chelating agent. Our study elucidates one of the molecular mechanisms by which sleep disorders aggravate myocardial injury and suggests possible targets for intervention.

SNX27: A trans-species cognitive modulator with implications for anxiety and stress susceptibility. Neurobiol Stress 2024; 30:100619. [PMID: 38500791 PMCID: PMC10945257 DOI: 10.1016/j.ynstr.2024.100619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Sorting Nexin 27 (SNX27) is a brain-enriched endosome-associated cargo adaptor that shapes excitatory control, being relevant for cognitive and reward processing, and for several neurological conditions. Despite this, SNX27's role in the nervous system remains poorly explored. To further understand SNX27 function, we performed an extensive behavioral characterization comprising motor, cognitive and emotional dimensions of SNX27+/- mice. Furthermore, attending on the recently described association between SNX27 function and cellular stress signaling mechanisms in vitro, we explored SNX27-stress interplay using a Caenorhabditis elegans Δsnx-27 mutant and wild-type (WT) rodents after stress exposure. SNX27+/- mice, as C. elegans Δsnx-27 mutants, present cognitive impairments, highlighting a conserved role for SNX27 in cognitive modulation across species. Interestingly, SNX27 downmodulation leads to anxiety-like behavior in mice evaluated in the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM). This anxious phenotype is associated with increased dendritic complexity of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) neurons, and increased complexity of the basolateral amygdala (BLA) pyramidal neurons. These findings highlight the still unknown role of SNX27 in anxiety regulation. Moreover, we uncovered a direct link between SNX27 dysfunction and stress susceptibility in C. elegans and found that stress-exposed rodents display decreased SNX27 levels in stress-susceptible brain regions. Altogether, we provided new insights on SNX27's relevance in anxiety-related behaviors and neuronal structure in stress-associated brain regions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide thorough insight on the protective role of endothelial glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) in ischemic stroke. METHODS We comprehensively review the role of endothelial GLUT1 in ischemic stroke by narrating the findings concerning biological characteristics of GLUT1 in brain in depth, summarizing the changes of endothelial GLUT1 expression and activity during ischemic stroke, discussing how GLUT1 achieves its neuroprotective effect via maintaining endothelial function, and identifying some outstanding blind spots in current studies. RESULTS Endothelial GLUT1 maintains persistent high glucose and energy requirements of the brain by transporting glucose through the blood-brain barrier, which preserves endothelial function and is beneficial to stroke prognosis. CONCLUSION This review underscores the potential involvement of GLUT1 trafficking, activity modulation, and degradation, and we look forward to more clinical and animal studies to illuminate these mechanisms.

Abstract
Endosomal trafficking ensures the proper distribution of lipids and proteins to various cellular compartments, facilitating intracellular communication, nutrient transport, waste disposal, and the maintenance of cell structure. Retromer, a peripheral membrane protein complex, plays an important role in this process by recruiting the associated actin-polymerizing WASH complex to establish distinct sorting domains. The WASH complex is recruited through the interaction of the VPS35 subunit of retromer with the WASH complex subunit FAM21. Here, we report the identification of two separate fragments of FAM21 that interact with VPS35, along with a third fragment that binds to the VPS29 subunit of retromer. The crystal structure of VPS29 bound to a peptide derived from FAM21 shows a distinctive sharp bend that inserts into a conserved hydrophobic pocket with a binding mode similar to that adopted by other VPS29 effectors. Interestingly, despite the network of interactions between FAM21 and retromer occurring near the Parkinson's disease-linked mutation (D620N) in VPS35, this mutation does not significantly impair the direct association with FAM21 in vitro.

Abstract
Cell-to-cell communication through secreted Wnt ligands that bind to members of the Frizzled (Fzd) family of transmembrane receptors is critical for development and homeostasis. Wnt9a signals through Fzd9b, the co-receptor LRP5 or LRP6 (LRP5/6), and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to promote early proliferation of zebrafish and human hematopoietic stem cells during development. Here, we developed fluorescently labeled, biologically active Wnt9a and Fzd9b fusion proteins to demonstrate that EGFR-dependent endocytosis of the ligand-receptor complex was required for signaling. In human cells, the Wnt9a-Fzd9b complex was rapidly endocytosed and trafficked through early and late endosomes, lysosomes, and the endoplasmic reticulum. Using small-molecule inhibitors and genetic and knockdown approaches, we found that Wnt9a-Fzd9b endocytosis required EGFR-mediated phosphorylation of the Fzd9b tail, caveolin, and the scaffolding protein EGFR protein substrate 15 (EPS15). LRP5/6 and the downstream signaling component AXIN were required for Wnt9a-Fzd9b signaling but not for endocytosis. Knockdown or loss of EPS15 impaired hematopoietic stem cell development in zebrafish. Other Wnt ligands do not require endocytosis for signaling activity, implying that specific modes of endocytosis and trafficking may represent a method by which Wnt-Fzd specificity is established.

Abstract
The vacuolar protein sorting 35 ortholog (VPS35) gene encodes a core component of the retromer complex essential for the endosomal sorting and recycling of transmembrane cargo. Endo-lysosomal pathway deficits are suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). Mutations in VPS35 cause a late-onset, autosomal dominant form of PD, with a single missense mutation (D620N) shown to segregate with disease in PD families. Understanding how the PD-linked D620N mutation causes retromer dysfunction will provide valuable insight into the pathophysiology of PD and may advance the identification of therapeutics. D620N VPS35 can induce LRRK2 hyperactivation and impair endosomal recruitment of the WASH complex but is also linked to mitochondrial and autophagy-lysosomal pathway dysfunction and altered neurotransmitter receptor transport. The clinical similarities between VPS35-linked PD and sporadic PD suggest that defects observed in cellular and animal models with the D620N VPS35 mutation may provide valuable insights into sporadic disease. In this review, we highlight the current knowledge surrounding VPS35 and its role in retromer dysfunction in PD. We provide a critical discussion of the mechanisms implicated in VPS35-mediated neurodegeneration in PD, as well as the interplay between VPS35 and other PD-linked gene products. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Understanding the endo-lysosomal network in neurodegeneration'.

Abstract
While causative mutations in complex disorders are rare, they can be used to extract a biological pathway whose pathogenicity can generalize to common forms of the disease. Here we begin by relying on the biological consequences of mutations in LRRK2 and VPS35, genetic causes of autosomal-dominant Parkinson's disease, to hypothesize that 'Retromer-dependent lysosomal stress' represents a pathway that can generalize to idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Next, we outline a series of studies that can test this hypothesis, including the development of biomarkers of pathway dysfunction. If validated, the hypothesis can suggest a unified mechanism of disease and might inform future diagnostic and therapeutic investigations. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Understanding the endo-lysosomal network in neurodegeneration'.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4095. [PMID: 38612903 PMCID: PMC11012638 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25074095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Proteins of the sorting nexin (SNX) family present a modular structural architecture with a phox homology (PX) phosphoinositide (PI)-binding domain and additional PX structural domains, conferring to them a wide variety of vital eukaryotic cell's functions, from signal transduction to membrane deformation and cargo binding. Although SNXs are well studied in human and yeasts, they are poorly investigated in protists. Herein, is presented the characterization of the first SNX identified in Leishmania protozoan parasites encoded by the LdBPK_352470 gene. In silico secondary and tertiary structure prediction revealed a PX domain on the N-terminal half and a Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain on the C-terminal half of this protein, with these features classifying it in the SNX-BAR subfamily of SNXs. We named the LdBPK_352470.1 gene product LdSNXi, as it is the first SNX identified in Leishmania (L.) donovani. Its expression was confirmed in L. donovani promastigotes under different cell cycle phases, and it was shown to be secreted in the extracellular medium. Using an in vitro lipid binding assay, it was demonstrated that recombinant (r) LdSNXi (rGST-LdSNXi) tagged with glutathione-S-transferase (GST) binds to the PtdIns3P and PtdIns4P PIs. Using a specific a-LdSNXi antibody and immunofluorescence confocal microscopy, the intracellular localization of endogenous LdSNXi was analyzed in L. donovani promastigotes and axenic amastigotes. Additionally, rLdSNXi tagged with enhanced green fluorescent protein (rLdSNXi-EGFP) was heterologously expressed in transfected HeLa cells and its localization was examined. All observed localizations suggest functions compatible with the postulated SNX identity of LdSNXi. Sequence, structure, and evolutionary analysis revealed high homology between LdSNXi and the human SNX2, while the investigation of protein-protein interactions based on STRING (v.11.5) predicted putative molecular partners of LdSNXi in Leishmania.

Abstract
Retromer prevents the destruction of numerous receptors by recycling them from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network or plasma membrane. This enables retromer to fine-tune the activity of many signaling pathways in parallel. However, the mechanism(s) by which retromer function adapts to environmental fluctuations such as nutrient withdrawal and how this affects the fate of its cargoes remains incompletely understood. Here, we reveal that macroautophagy/autophagy inhibition by MTORC1 controls the abundance of retromer+ endosomes under nutrient-replete conditions. Autophagy activation by chemical inhibition of MTOR or nutrient withdrawal does not affect retromer assembly or its interaction with the RAB7 GAP protein TBC1D5, but rather targets these endosomes for bulk destruction following their capture by phagophores. This process appears to be distinct from amphisome formation. TBC1D5 and its ability to bind to retromer, but not its C-terminal LC3-interacting region (LIR) or nutrient-regulated dephosphorylation, is critical for retromer to be captured by autophagosomes following MTOR inhibition. Consequently, endosomal recycling of its cargoes to the plasma membrane and trans-Golgi network is impaired, leading to their lysosomal turnover. These findings demonstrate a mechanistic link connecting nutrient abundance to receptor homeostasis.Abbreviations: AMPK, 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase; APP, amyloid beta precursor protein; ATG, autophagy related; BafA, bafilomycin A1; CQ, chloroquine; DMEM, Dulbecco's minimum essential medium; DPBS, Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline; EBSS, Earle's balanced salt solution; FBS, fetal bovine serum; GAP, GTPase-activating protein; MAP1LC3/LC3, microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; LIR, LC3-interacting region; LANDO, LC3-associated endocytosis; LP, leupeptin and pepstatin; MTOR, mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; MTORC1, MTOR complex 1; nutrient stress, withdrawal of amino acids and serum; PDZ, DLG4/PSD95, DLG1, and TJP1/zo-1; RPS6, ribosomal protein S6; RPS6KB1/S6K1, ribosomal protein S6 kinase B1; SLC2A1/GLUT1, solute carrier family 2 member 1; SORL1, sortillin related receptor 1; SORT1, sortillin 1; SNX, sorting nexin; TBC1D5, TBC1 domain family member 5; ULK1, unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1; WASH, WASH complex subunit.

Abstract
The sortilin-related receptor 1 (SORL1) gene, encoding the cellular endosomal sorting-related receptor with A-type repeats (SORLA), is now established as a causal gene for Alzheimer's disease. As the latest addition to the list of causal genes, the pathophysiological effects and biomarker potential of SORL1 variants remain relatively undiscovered. Metabolic dysfunction is, however, well described in patients with Alzheimer's disease and is used as an imaging biomarker in clinical diagnosis settings. To understand the metabolic consequences of loss-of-function SORL1 mutations, we applied two metabolic MRI technologies, sodium (23Na) MRI and MRI with hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate, in minipigs and mice with compromised expression of SORL1. At the age analysed here, both animal models display no conventional imaging evidence of neurodegeneration but show biochemical signs of elevated amyloid production, thus representing the early preclinical disease. With hyperpolarized MRI, the exchange from [1-13C]pyruvate to [1-13C]lactate and 13C-bicarbonate was decreased by 32 and 23%, respectively, in the cerebrum of SORL1-haploinsufficient minipigs. A robust 11% decrease in the sodium content was observed with 23Na-MRI in the same minipigs. Comparably, the brain sodium concentration gradually decreased from control to SORL1 haploinsufficient (-11%) to SORL1 knockout mice (-23%), suggesting a gene dose dependence in the metabolic dysfunction. The present study highlights that metabolic MRI technologies are sensitive to the functional, metabolic consequences of Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-linked genotypes. Further, the study suggests a potential avenue of research into the mechanisms of metabolic alterations by SORL1 mutations and their potential role in neurodegeneration.

Abstract
During endosomal recycling, Sorting Nexin 17 (SNX17) facilitates the transport of numerous membrane cargo proteins by tethering them to the Retriever complex. Despite its importance, the mechanisms underlying this interaction have remained elusive. Here, we report the structure of the Retriever-SNX17 complex determined using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Our structure reveals that the C-terminal tail of SNX17 engages with a highly conserved interface between the VPS35L and VPS26C subunits of Retriever. Through comprehensive biochemical, cellular, and proteomic analyses, we demonstrate that disrupting this interface impairs the Retriever-SNX17 interaction, subsequently affecting the recycling of SNX17-dependent cargos and altering the composition of the plasma membrane proteome. Intriguingly, we find that the SNX17-binding pocket on Retriever can be utilized by other ligands that share a consensus acidic C-terminal tail motif. By showing how SNX17 is linked to Retriever, our findings uncover a fundamental mechanism underlying endosomal trafficking of critical cargo proteins and reveal a mechanism by which Retriever can engage with other regulatory factors.

Role of low-density lipoprotein electronegativity and sexual dimorphism in contributing early ventricular tachyarrhythmias following ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Background Early ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has higher morbidity and mortality. This study examines gender-differentiated risk factors and underlying mechanisms for early onset VT/VF in STEMI. Methods We analyzed data from 2,964 consecutive STEMI patients between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2021. Early VT/VF was defined as occurrence of spontaneous VT/VF of ≥30 s or requirement of immediate cardioversion/defibrillation within the first 48 h after symptoms. An ex vivo ischemic-reperfusion experiments were conducted in 8-week-old ApoE-/- mice fed a high-fat diet to explore the underlying mechanisms of early VT/VF. Results In 255 of out 2,964 STEMI patients who experienced early VT/VF, the age was younger (58.6 ± 13.8 vs. 61.0 ± 13.0 years old, P = 0.008) with a male predominance. The plasma levels of L5, the most electronegative subclass of low-density lipoprotein, was higher in early VT/VF patients compared to those without early VT/VF (n = 21, L5: 14.1 ± 22.6% vs. n = 46, L5: 4.3 ± 9.9%, P = 0.016). In the experimental setup, all male mice (n = 4) developed VT/VF post sham operation, whereas no such incidence was observed in the female mice (n = 3). Significantly, male mice exhibited considerably slower cardiac conduction velocity as compared to their female counterparts in whole heart preparations (25.01 ± 0.93 cm/s vs.42.32 ± 5.70 cm/s, P < 0.001), despite analogous action potential durations. Furthermore, isolated ventricular myocytes from male mice showed a distinctly lower sodium current density (-29.20 ± 3.04 pA/pF, n = 6) in comparison to female mice (-114.05 ± 6.41 pA/pF, n = 6, P < 0.001). This decreased sodium current density was paralleled by a reduced membrane expression of Nav1.5 protein (0.38 ± 0.06 vs. 0.89 ± 0.09 A.U., P < 0.001) and increased cytosolic Nav1.5 levels (0.59 ± 0.06 vs. 0.29 ± 0.04 A.U., P = 0.001) in male mice. Furthermore, it was observed that the overall expressions of sorting nexin 27 (SNX27) and vacuolar protein sorting 26 (VPS26) were significantly diminished in male mice as compared to female littermates (0.91 ± 0.15 vs. 1.70 ± 0.28, P = 0.02 and 0.74 ± 0.09 vs. 1.57 ± 0.13, P < 0.01, respectively). Conclusions Our findings reveal that male STEMI patients with early VT/VF are associated with elevated L5 levels. The gender-based discrepancy in early VT/VF predisposition might be due to compromised sodium channel trafficking, possibly linked with increased LDL electronegativity.

Abstract
The endocytic trafficking pathway is a highly organized cellular program responsible for the regulation of membrane components and uptake of extracellular substances. Molecules internalized into the cell through endocytosis will be sorted for degradation or recycled back to membrane, which is determined by a series of sorting events. Many receptors, enzymes, and transporters on the membrane are strictly regulated by endocytic trafficking process, and thus the endocytic pathway has a profound effect on cellular homeostasis. However, the endocytic trafficking process is typically dysregulated in cancers, which leads to the aberrant retention of receptor tyrosine kinases and immunosuppressive molecules on cell membrane, the loss of adhesion protein, as well as excessive uptake of nutrients. Therefore, hijacking endocytic trafficking pathway is an important approach for tumor cells to obtain advantages of proliferation and invasion, and to evade immune attack. Here, we summarize how dysregulated endocytic trafficking process triggers tumorigenesis and progression from the perspective of several typical cancer hallmarks. The impact of endocytic trafficking pathway to cancer therapy efficacy is also discussed.

Abstract
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) genes, SMN1 and SMN2, produce multiple circular RNAs (circRNAs), including C2A-2B-3-4 that encompasses early exons 2A, 2B, 3 and 4. Here we report the transcriptome- and proteome-wide effects of overexpression of C2A-2B-3-4 in inducible HEK293 cells. Our RNA-Seq analysis revealed altered expression of ~ 15% genes (4,172 genes) by C2A-2B-3-4. About half of the affected genes by C2A-2B-3-4 remained unaffected by L2A-2B-3-4, a linear transcript encompassing exons 2A, 2B, 3 and 4 of SMN1/SMN2. These fifindings underscore the unique role of the structural context of C2A-2B-3-4 in gene regulation. A surprisingly high number of upregulated genes by C2A-2B-3-4 were located on chromosomes 4 and 7, whereas many of the downregulated genes were located on chromosomes 10 and X. Supporting a cross-regulation of SMN1/SMN2 transcripts, C2A-2B-3-4 and L2A-2B-3-4 upregulated and downregulated SMN1/SMN2 mRNAs, respectively. Proteome analysis revealed 61 upregulated and 57 downregulated proteins by C2A-2B-3-4 with very limited overlap with those affected by L2A-2B-3-4. Independent validations confirmed the effect of C2A-2B-3-4 on expression of genes associated with chromatin remodeling, transcription, spliceosome function, ribosome biogenesis, lipid metabolism, cytoskeletal formation, cell proliferation and neuromuscular junction formation. Our findings reveal a broad role of C2A-2B-3-4, a universally expressed circRNA produced by SMN1/SMN2.

LRP10 and α-synuclein transmission in Lewy body diseases. Cell Mol Life Sci 2024; 81:75.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant variants in LRP10 have been identified in patients with Lewy body diseases (LBDs), including Parkinson's disease (PD), Parkinson's disease-dementia (PDD), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Nevertheless, there is little mechanistic insight into the role of LRP10 in disease pathogenesis. In the brains of control individuals, LRP10 is typically expressed in non-neuronal cells like astrocytes and neurovasculature, but in idiopathic and genetic cases of PD, PDD, and DLB, it is also present in α-synuclein-positive neuronal Lewy bodies. These observations raise the questions of what leads to the accumulation of LRP10 in Lewy bodies and whether a possible interaction between LRP10 and α-synuclein plays a role in disease pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that wild-type LRP10 is secreted via extracellular vesicles (EVs) and can be internalised via clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Additionally, we show that LRP10 secretion is highly sensitive to autophagy inhibition, which induces the formation of atypical LRP10 vesicular structures in neurons in human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-derived brain organoids. Furthermore, we show that LRP10 overexpression leads to a strong induction of monomeric α-synuclein secretion, together with time-dependent, stress-sensitive changes in intracellular α-synuclein levels. Interestingly, patient-derived astrocytes carrying the c.1424 + 5G > A LRP10 variant secrete aberrant high-molecular-weight species of LRP10 in EV-free media fractions. Finally, we show that this truncated patient-derived LRP10 protein species (LRP10splice) binds to wild-type LRP10, reduces LRP10 wild-type levels, and antagonises the effect of LRP10 on α-synuclein levels and distribution. Together, this work provides initial evidence for a possible functional role of LRP10 in LBDs by modulating intra- and extracellular α-synuclein levels, and pathogenic mechanisms linked to the disease-associated c.1424 + 5G > A LRP10 variant, pointing towards potentially important disease mechanisms in LBDs.

Immun Ageing 2024; 21:2. [PMID: 38166948 PMCID: PMC10759489 DOI: 10.1186/s12979-023-00402-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sorting Nexin 27 (SNX27)-retromer complex facilitates cargo recycling from endosomes to the plasma membrane. SNX27 downregulation in neurons, as the result of Trisomy 21 (T21), has been linked with cognitive deficits due to impairment of AMPA and NMDA receptor recycling. Studies in human T cell lines likewise demonstrated that SNX27 regulates the correct delivery of cargoes to the immune synapse limiting the activation of pro-inflammatory pathways. Nevertheless, the physiological consequences of partial SNX27 loss in T cell homeostasis are still unclear. RESULTS In this study, we have explored the consequences of T cell specific partial SNX27 downregulation in mice. T cells with partial SNX27 deficiency show a marked deficit in the CD4+ T cell pool, a hallmark of aging in mice and humans, and a well-characterized comorbidity of individuals with Down syndrome (DS). When analyzed ex vivo, CD4+ T cells with partial SNX27 deletion demonstrate enhanced proliferation but diminished IL-2 production. In contrast, the CD8+ population show enhanced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and lytic enzymes. CONCLUSIONS This mouse model supports the relevance of SNX27 in the organization of the immune synapse, previously described in cell lines, as well as in the control of T cell homeostasis. Individuals with DS experiment an acceleration of the aging process, which particularly affects the immune and central nervous systems. Thus, we hypothesize that reduced SNX27 expression in DS could contribute to the dysregulation of these systems and further research in SNX27 will shed light on the molecular factors underlying the phenotypes observed in people with DS and its contribution to aging.

Abstract
Membrane trafficking is a physiological process encompassing different pathways involved in transporting cellular products across cell membranes to specific cell locations via encapsulated vesicles. This process is required for cells to mature and function properly, allowing them to adapt to their surroundings. The retromer complex is a complex composed of nexin proteins and peptides that play a vital role in the endosomal pathway of membrane trafficking. In humans, any interference in normal membrane trafficking or retromer complex can cause profound changes such as those seen in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Several studies have explored the potential causative mechanisms in developing both disease processes; however, the role of retromer trafficking in their pathogenesis is becoming increasingly significant with promising therapeutic applications. This manuscript describes the processes involved in membrane transport and the roles of the retromer in the onset and progression of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Moreover, we will also explore how these aberrant mechanisms may serve as possible avenues for treatment development in both diseases and the prospect of its future application.

VPS35 promotes gastric cancer progression through integrin/FAK/SRC signalling-mediated IL-6/STAT3 pathway activation in a YAP-dependent manner. Oncogene 2024; 43:106-122.

Abstract
VPS35 is a key subunit of the retromer complex responsible for recognising cytosolic retrieval signals in cargo and is involved in neurodegenerative disease and tumour progression. However, the function and molecular mechanism of VPS35 in gastric cancer (GC) remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrated that VPS35 was significantly upregulated in GC, which was associated with poor survival. VPS35 promoted GC cell proliferation and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, VPS35 activated FAK-SRC kinases through integrin-mediated outside-in signalling, leading to the activation of YAP and subsequent IL-6 expression induction in tumour cells. What's more, combined mass spectrometry analysis of MGC-803 cell and bioinformatic analysis, we found that phosphorylation of VPS35 was enhanced in GC cells, and phosphorylated VPS35 has enhanced interaction with ITGB3. VPS35 interacted with ITGB3 and affected the recycling of ITGB3 in GC cells. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments revealed that VPS35 promoted tumour proliferation and metastasis via the IL-6/STAT3 pathway. Interestingly, we also found that STAT3 directly bound to the VPS35 promoter and increased VPS35 transcription, thereby establishing a positive regulatory feedback loop. In addition, we demonstrated that VPS35 knockdown sensitised GC cells to 5-FU and cisplatin. These findings provide evidence that VPS35 promotes tumour proliferation and metastasis, and highlight the potential of targeting VPS35- and IL-6/STAT3-mediated tumour interactions as promising therapeutic strategies for GC.

Abstract
The distortion of the cellular membrane transport pathway has a profound impact on cell dynamics and can drive serious physiological consequences during the process of cell sorting. SNX17 is a member of the Sorting Nexin (SNX) family and plays a crucial role in protein sorting and transport in the endocytic pathway. SNX17, SNX27, and SNX31 belong to the SNX-FERM subfamily and possess the FERM domain, which can assist in endocytic transport and lysosomal degradation. The binding partners of SNX27 have been discovered to number over 100, and SNX27 has been linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease progression, tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and metastasis. However, the role and potential mechanisms of SNX17 in human health and disease remain poorly understood, and the function of SNX17 has not been fully elucidated. In this review, we summarize the structure and basic functions of SNX protein, focusing on providing current evidence of the role and possible mechanism of SNX17 in human neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Copper, a vital element in various physiological processes, is transported from the gastrointestinal tract to tissues and cells through diverse copper transporters. Among these transporters, ATP7A and ATP7B play significant roles in regulating systemic copper metabolism and exhibit precise regulation in their intracellular trafficking. These transporters undergo dynamic shuttling between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and the plasma membrane via the endocytic recycling mechanism, which involves the retromer and other associated factors. Interestingly, the antimicrobial attribute of copper implies a potential connection between microbial infection and copper metabolism. Several microbes, including Salmonella enterica, Cryptococcus, Influenza A virus (IAV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) have been observed to impact the regulatory mechanisms of ATP7A/B, either directly or indirectly, as a means of survival. This review summarizes the key features and trafficking mechanisms of the copper transporters ATP7A/B, and examines the intricate interplay between microbes and copper metabolism. Ultimately, it highlights how microbes can perturb copper homeostasis through interactions with host factors, offering valuable insights into the mechanistic aspects of host-microbe interactions.

Abstract
Intracellular protein trafficking and sorting are extremely arduous in endocrine and neuroendocrine cells, which synthesize and secrete on-demand substantial quantities of proteins. To ensure that neuroendocrine secretion operates correctly, each step in the secretion pathways is tightly regulated and coordinated both spatially and temporally. At the trans-Golgi network (TGN), intrinsic structural features of proteins and several sorting mechanisms and distinct signals direct newly synthesized proteins into proper membrane vesicles that enter either constitutive or regulated secretion pathways. Furthermore, this anterograde transport is counterbalanced by retrograde transport, which not only maintains membrane homeostasis but also recycles various proteins that function in the sorting of secretory cargo, formation of transport intermediates, or retrieval of resident proteins of secretory organelles. The retromer complex recycles proteins from the endocytic pathway back to the plasma membrane or TGN and was recently identified as a critical player in regulated secretion in the hypothalamus. Furthermore, melanoma antigen protein L2 (MAGEL2) was discovered to act as a tissue-specific regulator of the retromer-dependent endosomal protein recycling pathway and, by doing so, ensures proper secretory granule formation and maturation. MAGEL2 is a mammalian-specific and maternally imprinted gene implicated in Prader-Willi and Schaaf-Yang neurodevelopmental syndromes. In this review, we will briefly discuss the current understanding of the regulated secretion pathway, encompassing anterograde and retrograde traffic. Although our understanding of the retrograde trafficking and sorting in regulated secretion is not yet complete, we will review recent insights into the molecular role of MAGEL2 in hypothalamic neuroendocrine secretion and how its dysregulation contributes to the symptoms of Prader-Willi and Schaaf-Yang patients. Given that the activation of many secreted proteins occurs after they enter secretory granules, modulation of the sorting efficiency in a tissue-specific manner may represent an evolutionary adaptation to environmental cues.

Abstract
The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is part of the amino acid sensing machinery that becomes activated on the endolysosomal surface in response to nutrient cues. Branched actin generated by WASH and Arp2/3 complexes defines endolysosomal microdomains. Here, we find mTORC1 components in close proximity to endolysosomal actin microdomains. We investigated for interactors of the mTORC1 lysosomal tether, RAGC, by proteomics and identified multiple actin filament capping proteins and their modulators. Perturbation of RAGC function affected the size of endolysosomal actin, consistent with a regulation of actin filament capping by RAGC. Reciprocally, the pharmacological inhibition of actin polymerization or alteration of endolysosomal actin obtained upon silencing of WASH or Arp2/3 complexes impaired mTORC1 activity. Mechanistically, we show that actin is required for proper association of RAGC and mTOR with endolysosomes. This study reveals an unprecedented interplay between actin and mTORC1 signaling on the endolysosomal system.

Abstract
Spontaneous dimerization of EGF receptors (EGFR) and dysregulation of EGFR signaling has been associated with the development of different cancers. Under normal physiological conditions and to maintain homeostatic cell growth, once EGFR signaling occurs, it needs to be attenuated. Activated EGFRs are rapidly internalized, sorted through early endosomes, and ultimately degraded in lysosomes by a process generally known as receptor down-regulation. Through alterations to EGFR trafficking, tumors develop resistance to current treatment strategies, thus highlighting the necessity for combination treatment strategies that target EGFR trafficking. This review covers EGFR structure, trafficking, and altered surface expression of EGFR receptors in cancer, with a focus on how therapy targeting EGFR trafficking may aid tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) has a long circulatory half-life owing, in part, to interaction with the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn or FCGRT) in acidic endosomes and recycling of internalised albumin. Vascular endothelial and innate immune cells are considered the most relevant cells for FcRn-mediated albumin homeostasis in vivo. However, little is known about endocytic trafficking of FcRn-albumin complexes in primary human endothelial cells. To investigate FcRn-albumin trafficking in physiologically relevant endothelial cells, we generated primary human vascular endothelial cell lines from blood endothelial precursors, known as blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs). We mapped the endosomal system in BOECs and showed that BOECs efficiently internalise fluorescently labelled HSA predominantly by fluid-phase macropinocytosis. Pulse-chase studies revealed that intracellular HSA molecules co-localised with FcRn in acidic endosomal structures and that the wildtype HSA, but not the non-FcRn-binding HSAH464Q mutant, was excluded from late endosomes and/or lysosomes. Live imaging revealed that HSA is partitioned into FcRn-positive tubules derived from maturing macropinosomes, which are then transported towards the plasma membrane. These findings identify the FcRn-albumin trafficking pathway in primary vascular endothelial cells, relevant to albumin homeostasis.

Recruitment of the SNX17-Retriever recycling pathway regulates synaptic function and plasticity. J Cell Biol 2023; 222:e202207025.

Abstract
Trafficking of cell-surface proteins from endosomes to the plasma membrane is a key mechanism to regulate synaptic function. In non-neuronal cells, proteins recycle to the plasma membrane either via the SNX27-Retromer-WASH pathway or via the recently discovered SNX17-Retriever-CCC-WASH pathway. While SNX27 is responsible for the recycling of key neuronal receptors, the roles of SNX17 in neurons are less understood. Here, using cultured hippocampal neurons, we demonstrate that the SNX17 pathway regulates synaptic function and plasticity. Disruption of this pathway results in a loss of excitatory synapses and prevents structural plasticity during chemical long-term potentiation (cLTP). cLTP drives SNX17 recruitment to synapses, where its roles are in part mediated by regulating the surface expression of β1-integrin. SNX17 recruitment relies on NMDAR activation, CaMKII signaling, and requires binding to the Retriever and PI(3)P. Together, these findings provide molecular insights into the regulation of SNX17 at synapses and define key roles for SNX17 in synaptic maintenance and in regulating enduring forms of synaptic plasticity.

DRD1 signaling modulates TrkB turnover and BDNF sensitivity in direct pathway striatal medium spiny neurons. Cell Rep 2023; 42:112575.

Abstract
Disturbed motor control is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). Cortico-striatal synapses play a central role in motor learning and adaption, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) from cortico-striatal afferents modulates their plasticity via TrkB in striatal medium spiny projection neurons (SPNs). We studied the role of dopamine in modulating the sensitivity of direct pathway SPNs (dSPNs) to BDNF in cultures of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)-enriched D1-expressing SPNs and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-treated rats. DRD1 activation causes enhanced TrkB translocation to the cell surface and increased sensitivity for BDNF. In contrast, dopamine depletion in cultured dSPN neurons, 6-OHDA-treated rats, and postmortem brain of patients with PD reduces BDNF responsiveness and causes formation of intracellular TrkB clusters. These clusters associate with sortilin related VPS10 domain containing receptor 2 (SORCS-2) in multivesicular-like structures, which apparently protects them from lysosomal degradation. Thus, impaired TrkB processing might contribute to disturbed motor function in PD.

Abstract
The highly conserved retromer complex controls the fate of hundreds of receptors that pass through the endolysosomal system and is a central regulatory node for diverse metabolic programs. More than 20 years ago, retromer was discovered as an essential regulator of endosome-to-Golgi transport in yeast; since then, significant progress has been made to characterize how metazoan retromer components assemble to enable its engagement with endosomal membranes, where it sorts cargo receptors from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network or plasma membrane through recognition of sorting motifs in their cytoplasmic tails. In this review, we examine retromer regulation by exploring its assembled structure with an emphasis on how a range of adaptor proteins shape the process of receptor trafficking. Specifically, we focus on how retromer is recruited to endosomes, selects cargoes, and generates tubulovesicular carriers that deliver cargoes to target membranes. We also examine how cells adapt to distinct metabolic states by coordinating retromer expression and function. We contrast similarities and differences between retromer and its related complexes: retriever and commander/CCC, as well as their interplay in receptor trafficking. We elucidate how loss of retromer regulation is central to the pathology of various neurogenerative and metabolic diseases, as well as microbial infections, and highlight both opportunities and cautions for therapeutics that target retromer. Finally, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms that govern retromer regulation, we outline new directions for the field moving forward.
