Copper-responsive intracellular ATP7B trafficking is crucial for maintaining the copper balance in mammalian hepatocytes and thus copper levels in organs. The copper metabolism domain-containing protein 1 (COMMD1) binds both the ATP7B copper transporter and phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P], whereas COMMD1 loss causes hepatocyte copper accumulation. Although it is clear that COMMD1 is localized to endocytic trafficking complexes, a direct function for COMMD1 in ATP7B trafficking has not yet been defined. In this study, experiments using quantitative colocalization analysis reveal that COMMD1 modulates copper-responsive ATP7B trafficking through recruitment to PtdIns(4,5)P Decreased COMMD1 abundance results in loss of ATP7B from lysosomes and the -Golgi network (TGN) in high copper conditions, although excess expression of COMMD1 also disrupts ATP7B trafficking and TGN structure. Overexpression of COMMD1 mutated to inhibit PtdIns(4,5)P binding has little impact on ATP7B trafficking. A mechanistic PtdIns(4,5)P-mediated function for COMMD1 is proposed that is consistent with decreased cellular copper export as a result of disruption of the ATP7B trafficking itinerary and early endosome accumulation when COMMD1 is depleted. PtdIns(4,5)P interaction with COMMD1 as well as COMMD1 abundance could both be important in maintenance of specific membrane protein trafficking pathways.

In the past decade, evidence for the numerous roles of copper (Cu) in mammalian physiology has grown exponentially. The discoveries of Cu involvement in cell signaling, autophagy, cell motility, differentiation, and regulated cell death (cuproptosis) have markedly extended the list of already known functions of Cu, such as a cofactor of essential metabolic enzymes, a protein structural component, and a regulator of protein trafficking. Novel and unexpected functions of Cu transporting proteins and enzymes have been identified, and new disorders of Cu homeostasis have been described.

Copper is a critical trace element in biological systems due the vast number of essential enzymes that require the metal as a cofactor, including cytochrome c oxidase, superoxide dismutase and dopamine-β-hydroxylase. Due its key role in oxidative metabolism, antioxidant defence and neurotransmitter synthesis, copper is particularly important for neuronal development and proper neuronal function. Moreover, increasing evidence suggests that copper also serves important functions in synaptic and network activity, the regulation of circadian rhythms, and arousal.

Selective retrograde transport from endosomes back to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) is important for maintaining protein homeostasis, recycling receptors, and returning molecules that were transported to the wrong compartments. Two important transmembrane proteins directed to this pathway are the Cation-Independent Mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR) and the ATP7B copper transporter. Among CI-MPR functions is the delivery of acid hydrolases to lysosomes, while ATP7B facilitates the transport of cytosolic copper ions into organelles or the extracellular space.

Objectives: Adipocyte fate determination is tightly regulated by extrinsic signaling pathways and intrinsic metabolic and morphologic changes that maintain adipose tissue function. Copper (Cu) homeostasis is required for the normal metabolism of mature adipocytes, whereas the role of Cu in adipogenesis is unclear.
Methods: To determine the role of Cu is adipocytes differentiation, we used 3T3-L1 adipocytes, immunocytochemistry, X-ray fluorescence, mass-spectrometry, pharmacological treatments, and manipulations of copper levels.

Copper, a vital element in various physiological processes, is transported from the gastrointestinal tract to tissues and cells through diverse copper transporters. Among these transporters, ATP7A and ATP7B play significant roles in regulating systemic copper metabolism and exhibit precise regulation in their intracellular trafficking. These transporters undergo dynamic shuttling between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and the plasma membrane via the endocytic recycling mechanism, which involves the retromer and other associated factors.
