Unconventional use of LC3 by coronaviruses through the alleged subversion of the ERAD tuning pathway

Reggiori, Fulvio ; De Haan, Cornelis A.M. ; Molinari, Maurizio

In: Viruses, 2011, vol. 3, no. 9, p. 1610-1623

Pathogens of bacterial and viral origin hijack pathways operating in eukaryotic cells in many ways in order to gain access into the host, to establish themselves and to eventually produce their progeny. The detailed molecular characterization of the subversion mechanisms devised by pathogens to infect host cells is crucial to generate targets for therapeutic intervention. Here we review recent...

Malectin participates in a backup glycoprotein quality control pathway in the mammalian ER

Galli, Carmela ; Bernasconi, Riccardo ; Soldà, Tatiana ; Calanca, Verena ; Molinari, Maurizio

In: Plos one, 2011, vol. 6, no. 1, p. e16304

Malectin is a conserved, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident lectin that recognizes high mannose oligosaccharides displaying terminal glucose residues. Here we show that Malectin is an ER stress-induced protein that selectively associates with glycopolypeptides without affecting their entry and their retention in the Calnexin chaperone system. Analysis of the obligate Calnexin client...

Cyclosporine A-sensitive, cyclophilin B-dependent endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation

Bernasconi, Riccardo ; Soldà, Tatiana ; Galli, Carmela ; Pertel, Thomas ; Luban, Jeremy ; Molinari, Maurizio

In: Plos one, 2010, vol. 5, no. 9, p. e13008

Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIs) catalyze cis/trans isomerization of peptide bonds preceding proline residues. The involvement of PPI family members in protein refolding has been established in test tube experiments. Surprisingly, however, no data is available on the involvement of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident members of the PPI family in protein folding, quality control or...

The protein disulfide isomerase ERp57 regulates the steady-state levels of the prion protein

Torres, Mauricio ; Medinas,Danilo B. ; Matamala, José Manuel ; Woehlbier, Ute ; Cornejo, Víctor Hugo ; Solda, Tatiana ; Andreu, Catherine ; Rozas, Pablo ; Matus, Soledad ; Muñoz, Natalia ; Vergara, Carmen ; Cartier, Luis ; Soto, Claudio ; Molinari, Maurizio ; Hetz, Claudio

In: The journal of biological chemistry, 2015, vol. 290, no. 39, p. 23631-23645

Although the accumulation of a misfolded and protease-resistant form of the prion protein (PrP) is a key event in Prion pathogenesis, the cellular factors involved in its folding and quality control are poorly understood. PrP is a glycosylated and disulfide-bonded protein synthesized at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ER foldase ERp57 (also known as Grp58) is highly expressed in the brain...

How viruses hijack the ERAD tuning machinery

Noack, Julia ; Bernasconi, Riccardo ; Molinari, Maurizio

In: Journal of virology, 2014, vol. 88, no. 18, p. 10272-10275

An essential step during the intracellular life cycle of many positive-strand RNA viruses is the rearrangement of host cell membranes to generate membrane-bound replication platforms. For example, Nidovirales and Flaviviridae subvert the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for their replication. However, the absence of conventional ER and secretory pathway markers in virus-induced...

Division of labor among oxidoreductases : TMX1 preferentially acts on transmembrane polypeptides

Brambilla Pisoni, Giorgia ; Ruddock, Lloyd W. ; Bulleid, Neil ; Molinari, Maurizio

In: Molecular biology of the cell, 2015, vol. 26, no. 19, p. 3373-3556

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of maturation for secretory and membrane proteins in eukaryotic cells. The lumen of the mammalian ER contains >20 members of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) superfamily, which ensure formation of the correct set of intramolecular and intermolecular disulfide bonds as crucial, rate-limiting reactions of the protein folding process. Components of...

UDP-glucose : glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT1) promotes substrate solubility in the endoplasmic reticulum

Ferris, Sean P. ; Jaber, Nikita S. ; Molinari, Maurizio ; Arvan, Peter ; Kaufman, Randal J.

In: Molecular biology of the cell, 2013, vol. 24, no. 17, p. 2597-2608

Protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is error prone, and ER quality control (ERQC) processes ensure that only correctly folded proteins are exported from the ER. Glycoproteins can be retained in the ER by ERQC, and this retention contributes to multiple human diseases, termed ER storage diseases. UDP- glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT1) acts as a central component of...

Stringent requirement for HRD1, SEL1L, and OS-9/XTP3-B for disposal of ERAD-LS substrates

Bernasconi, Riccardo ; Galli, Carmela ; Calanca, Verena ; Nakajima, Toshihiro ; Molinari, Maurizio

In: The journal of cell biology, 2010, vol. 188, no. 2, p. 223–235

Sophisticated quality control mechanisms prolong retention of protein-folding intermediates in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) until maturation while sorting out terminally misfolded polypeptides for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The presence of structural lesions in the luminal, transmembrane, or cytosolic domains determines the classification of misfolded polypeptides as ERAD-L, -M, or -C...

Chemical stresses fail to mimic the unfolded protein response resulting from luminal load with unfolded polypeptides

Bergmann, Timothy J. ; Fregno, Ilaria ; Fumagalli, Fiorenza ; Rinaldi, Andrea ; Bertoni, Francesco ; Boersema, Paul J. ; Picotti, Paola ; Molinari, Maurizio

In: Journal of biological chemistry, 2018, vol. 293, no. 15, p. 5600-5612

The stress sensors ATF6, IRE1, and PERK monitor deviations from homeostatic conditions in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a protein biogenesis compartment of eukaryotic cells. Their activation elicits unfolded protein responses (UPR) to reestablish proteostasis. UPR have been extensively investigated in cells exposed to chemicals that activate ER stress sensors by perturbing calcium, N-glycans,...

A selective ER‐phagy exerts procollagen quality control via a Calnexin‐FAM134B complex

Forrester, Alison ; Leonibus, Chiara De ; Grumati, Paolo ; Fasana, Elisa ; Piemontese, Marilina ; Staiano, Leopoldo ; Fregno, Ilaria ; Raimondi, Andrea ; Marazza, Alessandro ; Bruno, Gemma ; Iavazzo, Maria ; Intartaglia, Daniela ; Seczynska, Marta ; van Anken, Eelco ; Conte, Ivan ; De Matteis, Maria Antonietta ; Dikic, Ivan ; Molinari, Maurizio ; Settembre, Carmine

Autophagy is a cytosolic quality control process that recognizes substrates through receptor‐mediated mechanisms. Procollagens, the most abundant gene products in Metazoa, are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and a fraction that fails to attain the native structure is cleared by autophagy. However, how autophagy selectively recognizes misfolded procollagens in the ER lumen is...
