The Role of Reticulons in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Abstract: Reticulons (RTNs) are a group of membrane-associated proteins mainly responsible for shaping the tubular endoplasmic reticulum network, membrane trafficking, inhibition of axonal growth, and apoptosis. These proteins share a common sequence feature, the reticulon homology domain, which consists of paired hydrophobic stretches that are believed to induce membrane curvature by acting as a wedge in bilayer membranes. RTNs are ubiquitously expressed in all tissues, but each RTN member exhibits a unique expression … Show more

“…In both yeast and mammalian cells, ER sheets are found juxtaposed to the nucleus, whereas tubular ER is peripherally located away from the nucleus and close to the PM. The high membrane curvature of the ER is stabilized by two reticulon proteins, Rtn1 and Rtn2, and a reticulon-like protein, DP1/Yop1 (Stefano et al, 2014; Chiurchiu et al, 2014; Goyal and Blackstone, 2013; Hu et al, 2011; Friedman and Voeltz, 2011; English et al, 2009). To determine whether an intact cER tubular structure is necessary to establish ER stress-induced functional asymmetry between the cER and pnER, we examined Kar2-sfGFP mobility in cells lacking RTN1 , RTN2 , and YOP1.…”

“…Our results with rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δ, rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δsey1Δ , and rtn1Δrtn2Δyop1Δlnp1Δ cells point to the importance of a balance between reticular and sheet-like structures. RTNs and Yop1 localize preferentially to the cER to maintain the ER tubular structure (Stefano et al, 2014; Chiurchiu et al, 2014; Goyal and Blackstone, 2013; Hu et al, 2011; Friedman and Voeltz, 2011; English et al, 2009). Lnp1 and Sey1 act at three-way junctions in the peripheral ER and at junctions between the reticular and pnER (Chen et al, 2012) and function together to balance the formation of the reticular network.…”

“…These proteins regulate ER structure and functions and contain a uniquely conserved C-terminal domain (reticulon homology domain, RHD). RHD contains two putative transmembrane domains (TM1 and TM2), a loop region and a short Nterminus (reviewed in Chiurchiù et al, 2014). Reticulon 2 interacts with spastin.…”

“…Differential up-and down-regulation of RTNs have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, as well as hereditary spastic paraplegia) (62)(63)(64). RTN1A has been implicated in the onset of several neurodegenerative diseases; however, what role it plays is unknown (62,65).…”
