Abstract
Stress granules (SGs) are induced by various environmental stressors, resulting in their compositional and functional heterogeneity. SGs play a crucial role in the antiviral process, owing to their potent translational repressive effects and ability to trigger signal transduction; however, it is poorly understood how these antiviral SGs differ from SGs induced by other environmental stressors. Here we identify that TRIM25, a known driver of the ubiquitination-dependent antiviral innate immune response, is a potent and critical marker of the antiviral SGs. TRIM25 undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and co-condenses with the SG core protein G3BP1 in a dsRNA-dependent manner. The co-condensation of TRIM25 and G3BP1 results in a significant enhancement of TRIM25's ubiquitination activity towards multiple antiviral proteins, which are mainly located in SGs. This co-condensation is critical in activating the RIG-I signaling pathway, thus restraining RNA virus infection. Our studies provide a conceptual framework for better understanding the heterogeneity of stress granule components and their response to distinct environmental stressors.

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
Liver kinase B1 (LKB1), an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase, is a master regulator of the AMPK subfamily and controls cellular events such as polarity, proliferation, and energy homeostasis. Functions and mechanisms of the LKB1-AMPK axis at specific subcellular compartments, such as lysosome and mitochondria, have been established. AMPK is known to be activated at the Golgi; however, functions and regulatory mechanisms of the LKB1-AMPK axis at the Golgi apparatus remain elusive. Here, we show that TBC1D23, a Golgi-localized protein that is frequently mutated in the neurodevelopment disorder pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH), is specifically required for the LKB1 signaling at the Golgi. TBC1D23 directly interacts with LKB1 and recruits LKB1 to Golgi, promoting Golgi-specific activation of AMPK upon energy stress. Notably, Golgi-targeted expression of LKB1 rescues TBC1D23 deficiency in zebrafish models. Furthermore, the loss of LKB1 causes neurodevelopmental abnormalities in zebrafish, which partially recapitulates defects in TBC1D23-deficient zebrafish, and LKB1 sustains normal neuronal development via TBC1D23 interaction. Our study uncovers a regulatory mechanism of the LKB1 signaling, and reveals that a disrupted Golgi-LKB1 signaling underlies the pathogenesis of PCH.

Abstract
For many decades, our understanding of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activity and cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling was limited exclusively to the plasma membrane. However, a growing body of evidence has challenged this view by introducing the concept of endocytosis-dependent GPCR signaling. This emerging paradigm emphasizes not only the sustained production of cAMP but also its precise subcellular localization, thus transforming our understanding of the spatiotemporal organization of this process. Starting from this alternative point of view, our recent work sheds light on the role of an endocytosis-dependent calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum in the control of nuclear cAMP levels. This is achieved through the activation of local soluble adenylyl cyclase, which in turn regulates the activation of local protein kinase A (PKA) and downstream transcriptional events. In this review, we explore the dynamic evolution of research on cyclic AMP signaling, including the findings that led us to formulate the novel three-wave hypothesis. We delve into how we abandoned the paradigm of cAMP generation limited to the plasma membrane and the changing perspectives on the rate-limiting step in nuclear PKA activation.

Abstract
Pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH) is a group of rare neurodevelopmental disorders with limited diagnostic and therapeutic options. Mutations in WDR11, a subunit of the FAM91A1 complex, have been found in patients with PCH-like symptoms; however, definitive evidence that the mutations are causal is still lacking. Here, we show that depletion of FAM91A1 results in developmental defects in zebrafish similar to that of TBC1D23, an established PCH gene. FAM91A1 and TBC1D23 directly interact with each other and cooperate to regulate endosome-to-Golgi trafficking of KIAA0319L, a protein known to regulate axonal growth. Crystal structure of the FAM91A1-TBC1D23 complex reveals that TBC1D23 binds to a conserved surface on FAM91A1 by assuming a Z-shaped conformation. More importantly, the interaction between FAM91A1 and TBC1D23 can be used to predict the risk of certain TBC1D23-associated mutations to PCH. Collectively, our study provides a molecular basis for the interaction between TBC1D23 and FAM91A1 and suggests that disrupted endosomal trafficking underlies multiple PCH subtypes.

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.

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.

Abstract
Understanding of the evolution of metazoans from their unicellular ancestors is a fundamental question in biology. In contrast to fungi which utilize the Mon1-Ccz1 dimeric complex to activate the small GTPase RAB7A, metazoans rely on the Mon1-Ccz1-RMC1 trimeric complex. Here, we report a near-atomic resolution cryogenic-electron microscopy structure of the Drosophila Mon1-Ccz1-RMC1 complex. RMC1 acts as a scaffolding subunit and binds to both Mon1 and Ccz1 on the surface opposite to the RAB7A-binding site, with many of the RMC1-contacting residues from Mon1 and Ccz1 unique to metazoans, explaining the binding specificity. Significantly, the assembly of RMC1 with Mon1-Ccz1 is required for cellular RAB7A activation, autophagic functions and organismal development in zebrafish. Our studies offer a molecular explanation for the different degree of subunit conservation across species, and provide an excellent example of how metazoan-specific proteins take over existing functions in unicellular organisms.

Pharmacol Ther 2023; 244:108371. [PMID: 36871783 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2023.108371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2023]
Abstract
Targeted Protein Degradation is an emerging and rapidly developing technique for designing and treating new drugs. With the emergence of a promising class of pharmaceutical molecules, Heterobifunctional Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), TPD has become a powerful tool to completely tackle pathogenic proteins with traditional small molecule inhibitors. However, the conventional PROTACs have gradually exposed potential disadvantages of poor oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetic (PK) and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) characteristics due to their larger molecular weight and more complex structure than the conventional small-molecule inhibitors. Therefore, 20 years after the concept of PROTAC was proposed, more and more scientists are committed to developing new TPD technology to overcome its defects. And several new technologies and means have been explored based on "PROTAC" to target "undruggable proteins". Here, we aim to comprehensively summarize and profoundly analyze the research progress of targeted protein degradation based on PROTAC targeting the degradation of "undruggable" targets. In order to clarify the significance of emerging and highly effective strategies based PROTACs in the treatment of various diseases especially in overcoming drug resistance in cancer, we will focus on the molecular structure, action mechanism, design concepts, development advantages and challenges of these emerging methods(e.g., aptamer-PROTAC conjugates, antibody-PROTACs and folate-PROTACs).

Abstract
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a promising therapeutic agent in melasma that can act on multiple pathophysiologic mechanisms of melasma. However, it is unclear whether TXA affects melanin in keratinocytes. To explore the effect of TXA on melanocores in keratinocytes. The melanocore-incorporated keratinocytes were constructed by co-incubating normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) with melanocores. After being treated with TXA, autophagy- and melanin-related protein expressions were detected. Then, transcriptome sequencing was used to compare the genetic changes in melanocore-incorporated keratinocytes before and after TXA treatment and further verified the differentially expressed genes. At the same time, the distribution of melanocores in human keratinocytes was observed by transmission electron microscopy. We found that TXA does not promote melanin degradation in primary keratinocytes by inducing autophagy. Protein transport and intracellular protein transport-related genes were enriched after TXA treatment, and Rab5b was significantly upregulated. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the percentage of melanocores distributed in clusters increased after treatment with TXA, which was reduced after Rab5b silencing. In addition, results suggested that melanocores could colocalize with Rab5b and lysosome-associated membrane protein1 (LAMP1). Our study found that Rab5b may be involved in the melanocore distribution in keratinocytes. TXA may promote the clustering distribution of endocytic melanocores through upregulation of Rab5b, representing a potential mechanism of TXA treatment against melasma.

Abstract
Protein translocation is an essential process for living cells to respond to different physiological, pathological or environmental stimuli. However, its abnormal occurrence usually results in undesirable outcomes such as tumors. To date, there is still a lack of appropriate methods to detect this event in live animals in a real-time manner. Here, we identified the gradually increased cell-surface translocation of p32 protein from mitochondria during tumor progression. LyP-1-modified gas vesicles (LyP-1-GVs) were developed through conjugating LyP-1 (p32-targeting peptide) to the biosynthetic GVs to monitor the cell-surface level of p32 translocation. The resulting LyP-1-GVs have about 200 nm particle size and good tumor cell targeting performance. Upon systemic administration, LyP-1-GVs can traverse through blood vessels and bind to the tumor cells, producing strong contrast imaging signals in comparison with the non-targeted GVs. The contrast imaging signals correlate well with the cell-surface translocation level of p32 protein and tumor metastatic ability. To our knowledge, this is the first report about the in vivo detection of protein translocation to cell membrane from mitochondria by ultrasound molecular imaging. Our study provides a new strategy to explore the molecular events of protein membrane translocations for evaluation of tumor metastasis at the live animal level.

Abstract
The etiology of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is not yet fully understood. However, ONFH is a common disease with high morbidity, and approximately one-third of cases are caused by glucocorticoids. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of bone marrow to explore the effect of glucocorticoid on ONFH. Bone marrow samples of the proximal femur were extracted from four participants during total hip arthroplasty, including two participants diagnosed with ONFH for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) treated with glucocorticoids (the case group) and two participants with femoral neck fracture (the control group). Unbiased transcriptome-wide single-cell RNA sequencing analysis and computational analyses were performed. Seventeen molecularly defined cell types were identified in the studied samples, including significantly dysregulated neutrophils and B cells in the case group. Additionally, fatty acid synthesis and aerobic oxidation were repressed, while fatty acid beta-oxidation was enhanced. Our results also preliminarily clarified the roles of the inflammatory response, substance metabolism, vascular injury, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and dysregulated coagulation and fibrinolysis in glucocorticoid-induced ONFH. Notably, we list the pathways that were markedly altered in glucocorticoid-induced ONFH with SLE compared with femoral head fracture, as well as their common genes, which are potential early therapeutic targets. Our results provide new insights into the mechanism of glucocorticoid-induced ONFH and present potential clues for effective and functional manipulation of human glucocorticoid-induced ONFH, which could improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Stem cell senescence leads to progressive functional declines and disrupts the physiological homeostasis of bone environment. Stem cell-derived exosomes are emerging as promising therapeutical approaches to treat diverse aging-related osseous diseases. Herein, a previously reported osteoinductive exosome (OI-exo) was applied as a therapeutic agent for bone repair in aging individuals and its internalization mechanisms in senescent bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) were explored. The results demonstrated that OI-exos derived from young BMSCs could partially rescue the proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and alleviate aging phenotypes in vitro. OI-exo-delivered hierarchical mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) scaffold effectively promote in vivo bone formation in aging rat cranial defect model. However, the osteogenic effects of OI-exo both in vitro and in vivo were compromised in senescent individuals and for aging BMSCs compared to younger ones. This study revealed that non-senescent BMSCs internalized exosomes exclusively via clathrin-mediated endocytosis, while senescent BMSCs additionally evoked macropinocytosis and caveolae-mediated endocytosis to mediate the internalization of exosomes. The alteration of endocytic manner of senescent BMSCs and the involvement of macropinocytosis might be responsible for the compromised effects of therapeutical exosomes. The phenomena discovered in this study could also be extended to other scenarios where drugs or treatments exerted compromised effects in aging individuals. The influence of endocytic manner, avoidance of macropinocytosis-related negative effects should be taken into considerations in future therapeutic design for aging populations.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects 1-2% of all children and poses a great social and economic challenge for the globe. As a highly heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder, the development of its treatment is extremely challenging. Multiple pathways have been linked to the pathogenesis of ASD, including signaling involved in synaptic function, oxytocinergic activities, immune homeostasis, chromatin modifications, and mitochondrial functions. Here, we identify secretagogin (SCGN), a regulator of synaptic transmission, as a new risk gene for ASD. Two heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in SCGN are presented in ASD probands. Deletion of Scgn in zebrafish or mice leads to autism-like behaviors and impairs brain development. Mechanistically, Scgn deficiency disrupts the oxytocin signaling and abnormally activates inflammation in both animal models. Both ASD probands carrying Scgn mutations also show reduced oxytocin levels. Importantly, we demonstrate that the administration of oxytocin and anti-inflammatory drugs can attenuate ASD-associated defects caused by SCGN deficiency. Altogether, we identify a convergence between a potential autism genetic risk factor SCGN, and the pathological deregulation in oxytocinergic signaling and immune responses, providing potential treatment for ASD patients suffering from SCGN deficiency. Our study also indicates that it is critical to identify and stratify ASD patient populations based on their disease mechanisms, which could greatly enhance therapeutic success.

Abstract
The local endocytosis of membrane proteins is critical for many physiological processes in plants, including the regulation of growth, development, nutrient absorption, and osmotic stress response. Much of our knowledge on the local endocytosis of plasma membrane (PM) protein only focuses on the polar growth of pollen tubes in plants and neuronal axon in animals. However, the role of local endocytosis of PM proteins in guard cells has not yet been researched. Here, we first cloned duckweed SUT2 (sucrose transporter 2) protein and then conducted subcellular and histological localization of the protein. Our results indicated that LpSUT2 (Landoltia punctata 0202 SUT2) is a PM protein highly expressed on guard cells. In vitro experiments on WT (wild type) lines treated with high sucrose concentration showed that the content of ROS (reactive oxygen species) in guard cells increased and stomatal conductance decreased. We observed the same results in the lines after overexpression of the LpSUT2 gene with newfound local endocytosis of LpSUT2. The local endocytosis mainly showed that LpSUT2 was uniformly distributed on the PM of guard cells in the early stage of development, and was only distributed in the endomembrane of guard cells in the mature stage. Therefore, we found the phenomenon of guard cell LpSUT2 local endocytosis through the changes of duckweed stomata and concluded that LpSUT2 local endocytosis might be dependent on ROS accumulation in the development of duckweed guard cells. This paper might provide future references for the genetic improvement and water-use efficiency in other crops.

Abstract
Complex mechanisms govern the sorting of membrane (cargo) proteins at endosomes to ensure that protein localization to the post-Golgi endomembrane system is accurately maintained. Endosomal retrieval complexes mediate sorting by recognizing specific motifs and signals in the cytoplasmic domains of cargo proteins transiting through endosomes. In this review, the recent progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms of how the retromer complex, in conjunction with sorting nexin (SNX) proteins, operates in cargo recognition and sorting is discussed. New data revealing the importance of different SNX proteins and detailing how post-translational modifications can modulate cargo sorting to respond to changes in the environment are highlighted along with the key role that endosomal protein sorting plays in SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
Traditional drug discovery mainly focuses on direct regulation of protein activity. The development and application of protein activity modulators, particularly inhibitors, has been the mainstream in drug development. In recent years, PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTAC) technology has emerged as one of the most promising approaches to remove specific disease-associated proteins by exploiting cells’ own destruction machinery. In addition to PROTAC, many different targeted protein degradation (TPD) strategies including, but not limited to, molecular glue, Lysosome-Targeting Chimaera (LYTAC), and Antibody-based PROTAC (AbTAC), are emerging. These technologies have not only greatly expanded the scope of TPD, but also provided fresh insights into drug discovery. Here, we summarize recent advances of major TPD technologies, discuss their potential applications, and hope to provide a prime for both biologists and chemists who are interested in this vibrant field.

Abstract
Coat complexes coordinate cargo recognition through cargo adaptors with biogenesis of transport carriers during integral membrane protein trafficking. Here, we combine biochemical, structural, and cellular analyses to establish the mechanistic basis through which SNX27-Retromer, a major endosomal cargo adaptor, couples to the membrane remodeling endosomal SNX-BAR sorting complex for promoting exit 1 (ESCPE-1). In showing that the SNX27 FERM (4.1/ezrin/radixin/moesin) domain directly binds acidic-Asp-Leu-Phe (aDLF) motifs in the SNX1/SNX2 subunits of ESCPE-1, we propose a handover model where SNX27-Retromer captured cargo proteins are transferred into ESCPE-1 transport carriers to promote endosome-to-plasma membrane recycling. By revealing that assembly of the SNX27:Retromer:ESCPE-1 coat evolved in a stepwise manner during early metazoan evolution, likely reflecting the increasing complexity of endosome-to-plasma membrane recycling from the ancestral opisthokont to modern animals, we provide further evidence of the functional diversification of yeast pentameric Retromer in the recycling of hundreds of integral membrane proteins in metazoans.

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
Sorting nexin 27 (SNX27) association to the retromer complex mediates intracellular trafficking of cargoes containing PSD95/Dlg1/ZO-1 (PDZ)-binding C-terminal sequences from endosomes to the cell surface, preventing their lysosomal degradation. Antigen recognition by T lymphocyte leads to the formation of a highly organized structure named the immune synapse (IS), which ensures cell-cell communication and sustained T cell activation. At the neuronal synapse, SNX27 recycles PDZ-binding receptors and its defective expression is associated with synaptic dysfunction and cognitive impairment. In T lymphocytes, SNX27 was found localized at recycling endosomal compartments that polarized to the IS, suggesting a function in polarized traffic to this structure. Proteomic analysis of PDZ-SNX27 interactors during IS formation identify proteins with known functions in cytoskeletal reorganization and lipid regulation, such as diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase (DGK) ζ, as well as components of the retromer and WASH complex. In this study, we investigated the consequences of SNX27 deficiency in cytoskeletal reorganization during IS formation. Our analyses demonstrate that SNX27 controls the polarization towards the cell-cell interface of the PDZ-interacting cargoes DGKζ and the retromer subunit vacuolar protein sorting protein 26, among others. SNX27 silencing abolishes the formation of a DAG gradient at the IS and prevents re-localization of the dynactin complex component dynactin-1/p150Glued, two events that correlate with impaired microtubule organizing center translocation (MTOC). SNX27 silenced cells show marked alteration in cytoskeleton organization including a failure in the organization of the microtubule network and defects in actin clearance at the IS. Reduced SNX27 expression was also found to hinder the arrangement of signaling microclusters at the IS, as well as the polarization of the secretory machinery towards the antigen presenting cells. Our results broaden the knowledge of SNX27 function in T lymphocytes by showing a function in modulating IS organization through regulated trafficking of cargoes.

Abstract
The endosomal recycling pathway plays a crucial role in diverse physiologically important biological processes such as cell-to-cell signaling, nutrient uptake, immune response, and autophagy. A selective subset of these recycling cargoes, mostly transmembrane proteins, is retrieved from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) by a retrograde transport process. Endosome-to-TGN retrograde trafficking is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and signaling by preventing proteins and lipids from degradation in the lysosome. Many of the membrane sorting machinery, such as the retromer complex and sorting nexins (SNXs) are involved in endosomal retrieval and recycling of various transmembrane proteins. Recent technological advances in the resolution of light microscopy and unbiased analytical approaches in quantitative image analysis enable us to explore and understand the regulation of membrane trafficking pathways in greater detail. In this chapter, we describe quantitative imaging-based methods for analyzing the roles of proteins involved in the retrograde trafficking in retromer dependent or independent fashion, using cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CIM6PR) as an example.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped positive-sense RNA virus that depends on host factors for all stages of its life. Membrane receptor ACE2 is a well-established factor for SARS-CoV-2 docking. In addition to ACE2, whole-genome genetic screens have identified additional proteins, such as endosomal trafficking regulators SNX27 and retromer, as key host factors required for SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, it is poorly understood how SARS-CoV-2 utilize host endocytic transport pathways to produce productive infection. Here, we report that SNX27 interacts with the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein to facilitate S protein surface expression. Interestingly, S protein binds to the PDZ domain of SNX27, although it does not contain a PDZ-binding motif (PDZbm). Either abrogation of the SNX27 PDZ domain or S protein "MTSC" motif, which is critical for SNX27 binding, decreases surface expression of S protein and viral production. Collectively, our study highlights a novel approach utilized by SARS-CoV-2 to facilitate virion trafficking to establish virus infection.

SNX27-FERM-SNX1 complex structure rationalizes divergent trafficking pathways by SNX17 and SNX27. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2021; 118:2105510118.

Abstract
The molecular events that determine the recycling versus degradation fates of internalized membrane proteins remain poorly understood. Two of the three members of the SNX-FERM family, SNX17 and SNX31, utilize their FERM domain to mediate endocytic trafficking of cargo proteins harboring the NPxY/NxxY motif. In contrast, SNX27 does not recycle NPxY/NxxY-containing cargo but instead recycles cargo containing PDZ-binding motifs via its PDZ domain. The underlying mechanism governing this divergence in FERM domain binding is poorly understood. Here, we report that the FERM domain of SNX27 is functionally distinct from SNX17 and interacts with a novel DLF motif localized within the N terminus of SNX1/2 instead of the NPxY/NxxY motif in cargo proteins. The SNX27-FERM-SNX1 complex structure reveals that the DLF motif of SNX1 binds to a hydrophobic cave surrounded by positively charged residues on the surface of SNX27. The interaction between SNX27 and SNX1/2 is critical for efficient SNX27 recruitment to endosomes and endocytic recycling of multiple cargoes. Finally, we show that the interaction between SNX27 and SNX1/2 is critical for brain development in zebrafish. Altogether, our study solves a long-standing puzzle in the field and suggests that SNX27 and SNX17 mediate endocytic recycling through fundamentally distinct mechanisms.

Cryo-EM structures of human GMPPA-GMPPB complex reveal how cells maintain GDP-mannose homeostasis. Nat Struct Mol Biol 2021; 28:1-12.

Abstract
GDP-mannose (GDP-Man) is a key metabolite essential for protein glycosylation and glycophosphatidylinositol anchor synthesis, and aberrant cellular GDP-Man levels have been associated with multiple human diseases. How cells maintain homeostasis of GDP-Man is unknown. Here, we report the cryo-EM structures of human GMPPA-GMPPB complex, the protein machinery responsible for GDP-Man synthesis, in complex with GDP-Man or GTP. Unexpectedly, we find that the catalytically inactive subunit GMPPA displays a much higher affinity to GDP-Man than the active subunit GMPPB and, subsequently, inhibits the catalytic activity of GMPPB through a unique C-terminal loop of GMPPA. Importantly, disruption of the interactions between GMPPA and GMPPB or the binding of GDP-Man to GMPPA in zebrafish leads to abnormal brain development and muscle abnormality, analogous to phenotypes observed in individuals carrying GMPPA or GMPPB mutations. We conclude that GMPPA acts as a cellular sensor to maintain mannose homeostasis through allosterically regulating GMPPB.
