Broadly conserved roles of TMEM131 family proteins in intracellular collagen assembly and secretory cargo trafficking

Abstract: Collagen is the most abundant protein in animals. Its dysregulation contributes to aging and many human disorders, including pathological tissue fibrosis in major organs. How premature collagen proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) assemble and route for secretion remains molecularly undefined. From an RNA interference screen, we identified an uncharacterized Caenorhabditis elegans gene tmem-131, deficiency of which impairs collagen production and activates ER stress response. We find that amino termini o… Show more

“…SURO-2/TMEM39, a suro-2 gene product, is a highly conserved protein found in animals. The secretion level of collagen proteins was drastically reduced in the suro-2 mutant, indicating SURO-2, rather than TANGO1/cTAGE5, may play a fundamental role in bulky collagen secretion like recently reported TMEM131 27 . Since TANGO1/cTAGE5 have only been found in higher animals, the TANGO1-cTAGE system may have evolved to enable transport of diverse collagens.…”

“…Recently reported TMEM131 recruits premature collagen monomers through the bacterial PapD chaperone-like domain and functions in collagen assembly and secretion. The C-terminal region of TMEM131 interacts with TRAPPC8, a component of the TRAPP tethering complex, and functions in collagen secretion 27 . In this regard, SURO-2/TMEM39 and TMEM-131/TMEM131 seem to cooperate in collagen secretion.…”

“…Interestingly, a recent study described another single-pass transmembrane protein TMEM131 with two adjacent predicted membrane helices, which functions at the interface of two compartments. Again one of these helices must span the membrane, while the other is likely inserted into one leaflet of a compartment membrane (Zhang et al, 2020).…”

“…Through its membrane helices, TANGO1 organizes ER exit sites by creating a lipid diffusion barrier and an export conduit for collagen (20). While requirement of TANGO1 for secretion may depend on specific collagen types, it remains unclear whether TANGO1's functions are broadly conserved in all animals (21,22).…”
