Heterozygous mutations in the C-terminal domain of COPA underlie a complex autoinflammatory syndrome.
Journal of Clinical Investigation 2024 January 5
Mutations in the N-terminal WD40 domain of coatomer protein complex subunit α (COPA) cause a type I interferonopathy, typically characterized by alveolar hemorrhage, arthritis and nephritis. We described three heterozygous mutations in the C-terminal domain (CTD) of COPA (p.C1013S, p.R1058C and p.R1142X) in six children from three unrelated families with a similar syndrome of autoinflammation and autoimmunity. We showed that these CTD COPA mutations disrupt the integrity and the function of the coat protein complex I (COPI). In COPAR1142X and COPAR1058C fibroblasts we demonstrated that COPI dysfunction causes both an anterograde ER-to-Golgi and a retrograde Golgi-to-ER trafficking defect. The disturbed intracellular trafficking resulted in a cGAS/STING-dependent upregulation of the type I IFN signaling in patients and patient-derived cell lines, albeit through a distinct molecular mechanism in comparison to mutations in the WD40 domain of COPA. We showed that CTD COPA mutations induce an activation of the ER stress and NF-κB signaling in patient-derived primary cell lines. These results demonstrate the importance of the integrity of the CTD of COPA for COPI function and homeostatic intracellular trafficking, essential to ER homeostasis. CTD COPA mutations result in disease by increased ER stress, disturbed intracellular transport and increased pro-inflammatory signaling.
