Phosphoproteomics-directed manipulation reveals SEC22B as a hepatocellular signaling node governing metabolic actions of glucagon.

ABSTRACT: The peptide hormone glucagon is a fundamental metabolic regulator that is also being considered as a pharmacotherapeutic option for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Despite this, we know very little regarding how glucagon exerts its pleiotropic metabolic actions. Given that the liver is a chief site of action, we performed in situ time-resolved liver phosphoproteomics to reveal glucagon signaling nodes. Through pathway analysis of the thousands of phosphopeptides identified, we reveal "membrane trafficking" as a dominant signature with the vesicle trafficking protein SEC22 Homolog B (SEC22B) S137 phosphorylation being a top hit. Hepatocyte-specific loss- and gain-of-function experiments reveal that SEC22B was a key regulator of glycogen, lipid and amino acid metabolism, with SEC22B-S137 phosph
