Published: March 2025

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi interface is essential for directing the transport of proteins synthesized in the ER to the Golgi apparatus via the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment, as well as for recycling proteins back to the ER. This transport is facilitated by various components, including COPI and COPII coat protein complexes and the transport protein particle complex. Recently, the ER-Golgi transport pathway has gained attention due to emerging evidence of nonvesicular transport mechanisms and the regulation of trafficking through liquid-liquid phase separation. Numerous diseases have been linked to mutations in proteins localized at the ER-Golgi interface, highlighting the need for comprehensive analysis of these conditions. This review examines the disease phenotypes associated with dysfunctional ER-Golgi transport factors and explores their cellular effects, providing insights into potential therapeutic strategies.

Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERESs) are ER subdomains where coat protein complex II carriers are assembled for ER-to-Golgi transport. We previously proposed a dynamic capture-and-release model of ERESs by Golgi stacks in plants. However, how ERESs and Golgi stacks maintain a stable interaction in plant cells with vigorous cytoplasmic streaming is unknown.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-Golgi trafficking is a central process of the secretory system of eukaryotic cells that ensures proper spatiotemporal sorting of proteins and lipids. However, the nature of the ER-Golgi intermediate compartments (ERGICs) and the molecular mechanisms mediating the transition between ERGICs and the Golgi, as well as the universality of these processes among eukaryotes, remain undiscovered. Here we identify a reticulated tubulo-vesicular network, labelled by MEMBRIN proteins, that is mostly independent of the Golgi, highly dynamic at the ER-Golgi interface and crossed by ER-induced released luminal cargos.

Article Synopsis
  • Phytophthora species secrete effectors to manipulate plant immunity, but the specific mechanisms of their induced necrotic cell death remain unclear.
  • The study focuses on an RXLR effector named Pc12 from Phytophthora capsici, which promotes virulence by triggering an unusual ER stress response through interaction with Rab13-2.
  • Unlike typical immune responses, Pc12 alters the behavior of Rab13-2, affecting protein localization in the endoplasmic reticulum and inhibiting normal vesicle trafficking, thereby allowing the pathogen to successfully infect the host.

In vitro models based on permanent fish liver cell lines have proven to be versatile tools for examining chemical biotransformation and toxicity. However, their in vivo relevance remains uncertain due to their potentially de-differentiated phenotype. Here, we investigate whether a 3D cell culture environment can restore hepatocyte-like properties of the Rainbow trout liver cell line RTL-W1.
