Upon internalization, many surface proteins are recycled back to the plasma membrane. Although these endosomal trafficking pathways control surface protein activity, the precise regulatory features and division of labour between interconnected pathways is poorly defined. Furthermore, how well endosomal trafficking mechanisms are conserved is unclear. In yeast, we show cargo recycling back to the surface occurs through distinct pathways. In addition to retrograde recycling pathways via the late Golgi, used by synaptobrevins and driven by cargo ubiquitination, we find nutrient transporter recycling bypasses the Golgi in a pathway driven by cargo deubiquitination. Nutrient transporters rapidly internalize to, and recycle from, endosomes marked by Vps4 and the ESCRT-III associated factor Ist1. This compartment serves as both ‘early’ and ‘recycling’ endosome, implying these features are evolutionarily conserved. Ist1 has previously been implicated in recycling in yeast and other eukaryotes. We show Ist1 is ubiquitinated and this is required for proper endosomal recruitment and cargo recycling to the surface. Additionally, the ubiquitin-binding adaptor Npl4 and the essential ATPase Cdc48 are required for cargo recycling possibly through regulation of ubiquitinated Ist1. This collectively suggests mechanistic features of recycling from endosomes to the plasma membrane are also conserved.","PeriodicalId":343306,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122083748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While ERMs drive metaphase cell rounding, the cell-cycle signals that prompt their conformational activation in mitosis are unknown11. We screened a library of small molecules using novel ERM biosensors12 and we unexpectedly found that drugs that disassemble microtubules promote ERM activation. Remarkably, cells disassemble their interphase microtubules while entering mitosis13. We further discovered that this disassembly of microtubules acts as a cell-cycle signal that directs ERM activation and metaphase cell rounding. We show that GEF-H1, a Rho-GEF inhibited by microtubule binding, acts downstream of microtubule disassembly to activate ERMs via RhoA and its kinase effector SLK. In addition, we demonstrate that GEF-H1 and Ect2, another Rho-GEF responsible for the generation of mitotic actomyosin forces6,14, act together to drive metaphase ERM activation and cell rounding. In summary, we report microtubule disassembly as a cell cycle signal that triggers a signaling network ensuring that actomyosin forces are efficiently integrated at the plasma membrane to promote cell rounding at mitotic entry.","PeriodicalId":343306,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131315110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we investigate the role of the immune-specific NPF WASP during neutrophil migration. Endogenously-tagged WASP localizes to substrate-induced plasma membrane deformations. Super-resolution imaging of live cells reveals that WASP preferentially enriches to the necks of these substrate-induced membrane invaginations, a distribution that could support substrate pinching. Unlike other curvature-sensitive proteins, WASP only enriches to membrane deformations at the cell front, where it controls Arp2/3 complex recruitment and actin polymerization. Despite relatively normal migration on flat substrates, WASP depletion causes defects in topology sensing and directed migration on textured substrates. WASP therefore both responds to and reinforces cell polarity during migration. Surprisingly, front-biased WASP puncta continue to form in the absence of Cdc42. We propose that WASP integrates substrate topology with cell polarity for 3D guidance by selectively polymerizing actin around substrate-induced membrane deformations at the leading edge. A misregulation of WASP-mediated contact guidance could provide insight into the immune disorder Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.","PeriodicalId":343306,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114406090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the nuclear envelope (NE) protein Atg39 acts as a nucleophagy receptor, which interacts with Atg8 to target NDVs to forming autophagosomal membranes. In this study, we revealed that Atg39 is anchored to the outer nuclear membrane (ONM) via its transmembrane domain and also associated with the inner nuclear membrane (INM) via membrane-binding amphipathic helices (APHs) in its perinuclear space region, thereby linking these membranes. We also revealed that overaccumulation of Atg39 causes the NE to protrude towards the cytoplasm, and the tips of the protrusions are pinched off to generate NDVs. The APHs of Atg39 are crucial for Atg39 assembly in the NE and subsequent NE protrusion.

Continued MRCKβ activity then drives recruitment of a mechanosensing bridge enabling transmission of the cytoskeletal force required for cup closure and particle internalization. MRCKβ is also required for Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis by macrophages. In vivo, MRCKβ is essential for RPE phagocytosis of photoreceptor debris and, hence, retinal integrity. MerTK-independent activation of MRCKβ signaling by a phosphomimetic Dbl3 mutant rescues phagocytosis in retinitis pigmentosa RPE cells lacking functional MerTK.

Consistent with this, sequence elements that confer both nuclear envelope localization and a membrane remodeling activity are mapped to the Atg39 lumenal domain; these lumenal motifs are required for the autophagy-mediated degradation of an integral INM protein. Interestingly, correlative light and electron tomography shows that the overexpression of Atg39 leads to the expansion of the ONM and the enclosure of a network of INM-derived vesicles in the nuclear envelope lumen.

TRIM1 recruits LRRK2 to the microtubule cytoskeleton for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation by binding LRRK2911-920, a nine amino acid segment within a flexible interdomain region (LRRK2853-981), which we designate the “Regulatory Loop” (RL).

However, little is known about the force-generating properties of kinesin-3 motors.

Whereas UNC-104 motors stall before detaching, KIF1A motors do not. To examine the mechanism of KIF1A force generation, we introduced mutations linked to human neurodevelopmental disorders, V8M and Y89D, based on their location in structural elements required for force generation in kinesin-1. Molecular dynamics simulations predict that the V8M and Y89D mutations impair docking of the N-terminal (β9) or C-terminal (β10) portions of the neck linker, respectively, to the KIF1A motor domain. Indeed, both mutations dramatically impair force generation of KIF1A but not the motor’s ability to rapidly reattach to the microtubule track. Homodimeric and heterodimeric mutant motors also display decreased velocities, run lengths, and landing rates and homodimeric Y89D motors exhibit a higher frequency of non-productive, diffusive events along the microtubule. In cells, cargo transport by the mutant motors is delayed.
