Dynamic assembly of the exomer secretory vesicle cargo adaptor subunits.

  • Martina Huranova‎ et al.
  • EMBO reports‎
  • 2016‎

The trans-Golgi network (TGN) is the main secretory pathway sorting station, where cargoes are packed into appropriate transport vesicles targeted to specific destinations. Exomer is a cargo adaptor necessary for direct transport of a subset of cargoes from the TGN to the plasma membrane in yeast. Here, we show that unlike classical adaptor complexes, exomer is not recruited en bloc to the TGN, but rather assembles through a stepwise pathway, in which first the scaffold protein Chs5 and then the cargo-binding units, the ChAPs, are recruited. Although all ChAPs are able to assemble functional exomer complexes, they do so with different efficiencies. The mutual relationship between ChAPs varies from cooperation to competition depending on their expression levels and affinities to Chs5 allowing an optimized and efficient cargo transport. The multifactorial assembly pathway results in an exquisitely fine-tuned adaptor complex, enabling the cell to quickly respond and adapt to changes such as stress.


A role for septin 2 in Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission.

  • Alessandro Pagliuso‎ et al.
  • EMBO reports‎
  • 2016‎

Mitochondria are essential eukaryotic organelles often forming intricate networks. The overall network morphology is determined by mitochondrial fusion and fission. Among the multiple mechanisms that appear to regulate mitochondrial fission, the ER and actin have recently been shown to play an important role by mediating mitochondrial constriction and promoting the action of a key fission factor, the dynamin-like protein Drp1. Here, we report that the cytoskeletal component septin 2 is involved in Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fission in mammalian cells. Septin 2 localizes to a subset of mitochondrial constrictions and directly binds Drp1, as shown by immunoprecipitation of the endogenous proteins and by pulldown assays with recombinant proteins. Depletion of septin 2 reduces Drp1 recruitment to mitochondria and results in hyperfused mitochondria and delayed FCCP-induced fission. Strikingly, septin depletion also affects mitochondrial morphology in Caenorhabditis elegans, strongly suggesting that the role of septins in mitochondrial dynamics is evolutionarily conserved.
