Ehbp1 orchestrates orderly sorting of Wnt/Wingless to the basolateral and apical cell membranes.
Wingless (Wg)/Wnt signaling plays a critical role in both development and adult tissue homeostasis. In the Drosophila larval wing disc epithelium, the orderly delivery of Wg/Wnt to the apical and basal cell surfaces is essential for wing development. Here, we identified Ehbp1 as the switch that dictates the direction of Wg/Wnt polarized intracellular transport: the Adaptor Protein complex 1 (AP-1) delivers Wg/Wnt to the basolateral cell surface, and its sequestration by Ehbp1 redirects Wg/Wnt for apical delivery. Genetic analyses showed that Ehbp1 specifically regulates the polarized distribution of Wg/Wnt, a process that depends on the dedicated Wg/Wnt cargo receptor Wntless. Mechanistically, Ehbp1 competes with Wntless for AP-1 binding, thereby preventing the unregulated basolateral Wg/Wnt transport. Reducing Ehbp1 expression, or removing the coiled-coil motifs within its bMERB domain, leads to basolateral Wg/Wnt accumulation. Importantly, the regulation of polarized Wnt delivery by EHBP1 is conserved in vertebrates. The generality of this switch mechanism for regulating intracellular transport remains to be determined in future studies.
期刊介绍:
EMBO Reports is a scientific journal that specializes in publishing research articles in the fields of molecular biology, cell biology, and developmental biology. The journal is known for its commitment to publishing high-quality, impactful research that provides novel physiological and functional insights. These insights are expected to be supported by robust evidence, with independent lines of inquiry validating the findings.
The journal's scope includes both long and short-format papers, catering to different types of research contributions. It values studies that:
Communicate major findings: Articles that report significant discoveries or advancements in the understanding of biological processes at the molecular, cellular, and developmental levels.
Confirm important findings: Research that validates or supports existing knowledge in the field, reinforcing the reliability of previous studies.
Refute prominent claims: Studies that challenge or disprove widely accepted ideas or hypotheses in the biosciences, contributing to the correction and evolution of scientific understanding.
Present null data: Papers that report negative results or findings that do not support a particular hypothesis, which are crucial for the scientific process as they help to refine or redirect research efforts.
EMBO Reports is dedicated to maintaining high standards of scientific rigor and integrity, ensuring that the research it publishes contributes meaningfully to the advancement of knowledge in the life sciences.
