Identification of MOSPD2, a novel scaffold for endoplasmic reticulum membrane contact sites

Abstract: Membrane contact sites are cellular structures that mediate interorganelle exchange and communication. The two major tether proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), VAP‐A and VAP‐B, interact with proteins from other organelles that possess a small VAP‐interacting motif, named FFAT [two phenylalanines (FF) in an acidic track (AT)]. In this study, using an unbiased proteomic approach, we identify a novel ER tether named motile sperm domain‐containing protein 2 (MOSPD2). We show that MOSPD2 possesses a Major S… Show more

“…It was previously reported that enlarged and cholesterolladen late endosomes have impaired vesicular trafficking [35]. In addition, active Rab7 is required to promote MCS formation between late endosomes and lysosomes and the ER [12], providing protein-protein interactions within MCS for the bidirectional transfer of cholesterol and other lipids between late endosomes and ER [75,76]. Given elevated Rab7-GTP levels and increased late endosome motility in AnxA6-depleted NPC1 mutant cells (Fig.…”

“…Finally, we investigated whether the StARD3/VAP-A protein complex that can facilitate cholesterol transfer between late endosomes and the ER [75,76] could contribute to the rescue of late endosome-cholesterol export in CHO M12-A6ko cells. The ability of AnxA6 depletion to reduce late endosome-cholesterol accumulation in CHO M12 cells was lost upon StARD3 depletion and concomitantly, strongly interfered with neutral lipid accumulation in lipid droplets of CHO M12-A6ko cells (Fig.…”

“…Much like cyclodextrin [35], thioperamide was able to partially correct the defect in the transcriptional regulation of two canonical cholesteroldependent genes, the LDL receptor and HMG CoA reductase in these NPC1 and NPC2 KO cells ( Fig 6A). By contrast, thioperamide treatment did not affect the expression levels of proteins involved in the transfer of cholesterol from endosome to the ER or in endosome-ER membrane contact sites ( Fig EV4), including FYCO1 [36], ANXA1 [37], STARD3/MLN64 [38], ORP1l, VAPA and VAPB [39,40].…”

“…While the molecular details of this phenomenon await characterization, it is noteworthy that one of the most abundant proteins specifically enriched with NSP4 over the other viral proteins is MOSPD2 ( Fig. 3c), recently identified as a scaffolding protein for ER membrane contact sites 31 . Whether overexpression of NSP4 (or viral infection) disrupts ER integrity through MOSPD2 remains to be determined.…”
