Mechanism of secretory cargo sorting at the TGN<br />

Abstract:<br />
Knockdown of actin severing protein Cofilin by siRNA and, over expression of inactive Cofilin or<br />
Cofilin-inactivating kinase (LIMK), arrested secretion of an exogenously expressed soluble<br />
secretory protein in the Trans Golgi Network (TGN) of mammalian cells. A SILAC-mass<br />
spectrometry based protein profiling revealed that a large number of endogenous secretory<br />
proteins were not secreted under these conditions. Surprisingly, a population of proteins<br />
normally retained in the Golgi was secreted. There was a similar defect in the delivery of integral<br />
membrane proteins to the cell surface. Overall, these findings indicate defective cargo sorting at<br />
the TGN. We suggest that Cofilin dependent actin trimming generates a sorting domain at the<br />
TGN, which filters secretory cargo for export; uncontrolled growth of this domain traps proteins<br />
not destined for secretion and excludes secretory proteins. I will present new data on the<br />
downstream effectors of Cofilin that are required for secretory cargo sorting at the TGN.
