COPII and COPI mediate the formation of membrane vesicles translocating in opposite directions within secretory pathway. Live-cell electron microscopy revealed a novel mode function for during cargo export from ER. is recruited to membranes defining boundary between ER exit sites, facilitating selective concentration. Using direct observation living cells, we monitored selection processes, accumulation, fission COPII-free ERES membranes. CRISPR/Cas12a tagging, RUSH system, pharmaceutical...

Abstract MCPH1 is a causal gene for the neurodevelopmental disorder, human primary microcephaly (MCPH1, OMIM251200). Most pathogenic mutations are located in N-terminal region of gene, which encodes BRCT domain, suggesting an important function this domain brain size determination. To investigate specific vivo, we generated mouse model lacking N’-BRCT (referred as Mcph1 -ΔBR1). These mutant mice viable, but exhibit reduced size, with thinner cortex due to reduction neuroprogenitor...
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) binds DNA lesions to catalyse poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) using NAD+ as a substrate. PARP1 plays multiple roles in cellular activities, including repair, transcription, cell death, and chromatin remodelling. However, whether these functions are governed by the enzymatic activity or scaffolding function of remains elusive. In this study, we inactivated mice truncating its C-terminus that is essential for ART catalysis (PARP1ΔC/ΔC, designated...
Abstract Exit from the endoplasmic reticulum is mediated by Sar1/COPII machinery and a number of accessory factors. How initial steps cargo recruitment upstream are remains unclear, but dihydropyridine FLI-06 inhibits into ER exit sites. Here, we used chemical genetics screening approaches in conjunction with treatment identified membrane proteins YIPF5 GOT1A/B as putative components early export processes. Surprisingly, two homologous GOT1A GOT1B, coded GOLT1A GOLT1B , respectively,...
