Abstract
The transmembrane emp24 domain-containing (TMED) proteins, also called p24 proteins, are members of a family of sorting receptors present in all representatives of the Eukarya and abundantly present in all subcompartments of the early secretory pathway, namely the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the Golgi, and the intermediate compartment. Although essential during the bidirectional transport between the ER and the Golgi, there is still a lack of information regarding the TMED's structure across different subfamilies. Besides, although the presence of a TMED homo-oligomerization was suggested previously based on crystallographic contacts observed for the isolated Golgi Dynamics (GOLD) domain, no further analyses of its presence in solution were done. Here, we describe the first high-resolution structure of a TMED1 GOLD representative and its biophysical characterization in solution. The crystal structure showed a dimer formation that is also present in solution in a salt-dependent manner, suggesting that the GOLD domain can form homodimers in solution even in the absence of the TMED1 coiled-coil region. A molecular dynamics description of the dimer stabilization, with a phylogenetic analysis of the residues important for the oligomerization and a model for the orientation towards the lipid membrane, are also presented.

Abstract
FTO is an N6-methyladenosine demethylase removing methyl groups from nucleic acids. Several studies indicate the creation of FTO complexes with other proteins. Here, we looked for regulatory proteins recognizing parts of the FTO dioxygenase region. In the Calmodulin (CaM) Target Database, we found the FTO C-domain potentially binding CaM, and we proved this finding experimentally. The interaction was Ca2+-dependent but independent on FTO phosphorylation. We found that FTO–CaM interaction essentially influences calcium-binding loops in CaM, indicating the presence of two peptide populations—exchanging as CaM alone and differently, suggesting that only one part of CaM interacts with FTO, and the other one reminds free. The modeling of FTO–CaM interaction showed its stable structure when the half of the CaM molecule saturated with Ca2+ interacts with the FTO C-domain, whereas the other part is disconnected. The presented data indicate calmodulin as a new FTO interactor and support engagement of the FTO protein in calcium signaling pathways.
