MTORC1 regulates GRASP55-dependent unconventional secretion in response to stress

ABSTRACT: In cells, several cargoes are delivered to the cell surface or the extracellular space via unconventional secretion routes. GRASP55 is a Golgi protein that regulates unconventional secretion of distinct proteins and controls the assembly and membrane stacking of Golgi cisternae. Recent work suggested that the role of GRASP55 in unconventional secretion may involve its relocalization to other organelles. However, the stimuli that drive GRASP55-dependent unconventional secretion, the signaling events that regulate GRASP55 function, the subcellular locations where GRASP55 acts, and the cargoes that follow this route for secretion remain unclear. Here, we show that mTORC1 directly phosphorylates GRASP55 at multiple sites to maintain its Golgi localization. Cellular stresses or drugs that inhibit mTORC1 cause GRASP55 dephosphorylation and relocalization to autophagosomal / MVB structures. Using secretome and surfactome analyses in GRASP55-null cells, we identify for the first time numerous -previously unknown- cargoes that rely on this unconventional secretory pathway.

Cells communicate with their environment via surface proteins and secreted factors. Unconventional protein secretion (UPS) is an evolutionarily conserved process, via which distinct cargo proteins are secreted upon stress. Most UPS types depend upon the Golgi-associated GRASP55 protein. However, its regulation and biological role remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) directly phosphorylates GRASP55 to maintain its Golgi localization, ...[more]

Project description:Protein secretion is an essential process in cell biology. The conventional secretion pathway is well known, and involves proteins with a signal sequence being directed into the endoplasmic reticulum. Once in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, proteins are trafficked through the Golgi and remain separate from the cytosol throughout their journey to the outside of the cell. More recently, proteins without a signal sequence have been found outside the cell. These proteins are secreted unconventionally, and avoid the ER-Golgi route. For both pathways, some aspects remain unclear, particularly surrounding the regulation of protein secretion. Galectin-3, an unconventionally secreted protein, was used here to investigate both conventional and unconventional protein secretion. The unconventional protein secretion of galectin-3 is poorly understood. To address this, genetic manipulation of galectin-3 was used to gain insights into the mechanism of galectin-3 secretion. It was found that galectin-3 does not require unfolding or binding to cell surface glycoproteins to be secreted. Galectin-3 was also used to assess protein secretion using a genome-wide CRISPR screen. As galectin‑3 binds to cell surface glycoproteins, galectin-3 on the cell surface was used to assess secretion of these glycoproteins. Hits were validated by a glycoprotein secretion assay. Using this pipeline, 93 hits were identified as involved in protein secretion, of which 51 were novel hits not previously associated with protein secretion. Many of the hits identified also resulted in a phenotype of altered Golgi morphology, and five of these were investigated further. Two novel hits that localised to the Golgi were identified, TMEM220 and GPR161. GPR161 likely mediates its effect on Golgi morphology by its interaction with golgin A5. This thesis presents new insights into both conventional and unconventional protein secretion. Insights into the mechanism for galaectin-3 secretion were revealed. A novel Golgi-localised regulator of secretion, GRP161, was identified, with a mechanism for action suggested. Importantly, the list of 51 novel genes identified will serve as a useful resource for other researchers investigating protein secretion.
