Calcium Flow at ER-TGN Contact Sites Facilitates Secretory Cargo Export.
Molecular Biology of the Cell 2024 January 32
Ca2+ influx into the trans-Golgi Network (TGN) promotes secretory cargo sorting by the Ca2+ -ATPase SPCA1 and the luminal Ca2+ binding protein Cab45. Cab45 oligomerizes upon local Ca2+ influx, and Cab45 oligomers sequester and separate soluble secretory cargo from the bulk flow of proteins in the TGN. However, how this Ca2+ flux into the lumen of the TGN is achieved remains mysterious, as the cytosol has a nanomolar steady-state Ca2+ concentration. The TGN forms membrane contact sites (MCS) with the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), allowing protein-mediated exchange of molecular species such as lipids. Here, we show that the TGN export of secretory proteins requires the integrity of ER-TGN MCS and inositol 3 phosphate receptor (IP3R)-dependent Ca2+ fluxes in the MCS, suggesting Ca2+ transfer between these organelles. Using an MCS-targeted Ca2+ FRET sensor module, we measure the Ca2+ flow in these sites in real time. These data show that ER-TGN MCS facilitates the Ca2+ transfer required for Ca2+ -dependent cargo sorting and export from the TGN, thus solving a fundamental question in cell biology.
