Nutrient deprivation alters the rate of COPII coat assembly to tune secretory protein transport.

ABSTRACT: Co-assembly of the multilayered coat protein complex II (COPII) with the Sari GTPase at subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) enables secretory cargoes to be concentrated efficiently within nascent transport intermediates, which subsequently deliver their contents to ER-Golgi intermediate compartments. Here, we define the spatiotemporal accumulation of native COPII subunits and secretory cargoes at ER subdomains under differing nutrient availability conditions using a combination of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing and live cell imaging. Our findings demonstrate that the rate of inner COPII coat assembly serves as a determinant for the pace of cargo export, irrespective of COPII subunit expression levels. Moreover, increasing inner COPII coat assembly kinetics is sufficient to re
