(A) Schematic illustration of the retention using selective hooks (RUSH) system. The cells were co-transfected with the reporter protein (CD-MPR), which is fused to the streptavidin-binding peptide (SBP) and GFP, and a second protein with a C-terminal ER retention signal (Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu; KDEL) fusing with streptavidin as a hook. The interaction of CD-MPR with the hook protein retains CD-MPR in the ER compartment and biotin administration releases the CD-MPR-GFP reporter from the ER and transfers it to the Golgi. (B) Schematic of VSV-G assay. The cells were transfected with vectors that express an EGFP-tagged temperature-sensitive mutant VSV-G (EGFP-VSV-G [ts045]) that is transported from the ER to the plasma membrane via the Golgi. At designated time points after switching cells to temperatures that cause VSV-G accumulation (40°C) and release (32°C) from the ER, cells were fixed and exofacial VSV-G was detected in non-permeabilized cells by staining with anti-VSV-G monoclonal antibody. The VSV-G trafficking to the plasma membrane is determined by the ratio of exofacial (surface) VSV-G fluorescence signal to the EGFP signal intensity. (C) Confocal micrographs of cells co-stained with anti-SEC16A (green) and anti-GM130 (red) antibodies. DAPI (blue). Scale bar: 5 μm. The scatter plots quantify Golgi-localized SEC16A per cell (dot) based on % of total SEC16A that co-localizes with Golgi (GM130 channel) (n = 15 cells per group) in H1299 cells treated with vehicle control (Veh) or 5 µM thapsigargin (Tg) for 1 h. (D) Confocal micrographs of EGFP-VSV-G-transfected cells taken 1 h after transfer to permissive temperature. Scale bar, 5 μm. The scatter plot represents the ratio of surface VSV-G to EGFP-VSV-G in each cell (dot) (n = 15 cells per group) in H1299 cells treated with vehicle control (Veh) or 5 µM thapsigargin (Tg) for 1 h. Results represent means ± SEM. P values were determined using two-tailed Student’s t-test.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic illustration of the retention using selective hooks (RUSH) system. The cells were co-transfected with the reporter protein (CD-MPR), which is fused to the streptavidin-binding peptide (SBP) and GFP, and a second protein with a C-terminal ER retention signal (Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu; KDEL) fusing with streptavidin as a hook. The interaction of CD-MPR with the hook protein retains CD-MPR in the ER compartment and biotin administration releases the CD-MPR-GFP reporter from the ER and transfers it to the Golgi. (B) Schematic of VSV-G assay. The cells were transfected with vectors that express an EGFP-tagged temperature-sensitive mutant VSV-G (EGFP-VSV-G [ts045]) that is transported from the ER to the plasma membrane via the Golgi. At designated time points after switching cells to temperatures that cause VSV-G accumulation (40°C) and release (32°C) from the ER, cells were fixed and exofacial VSV-G was detected in non-permeabilized cells by staining with anti-VSV-G monoclonal antibody. The VSV-G trafficking to the plasma membrane is determined by the ratio of exofacial (surface) VSV-G fluorescence signal to the EGFP signal intensity.

A. Three-colour high resolution confocal fluorescence imaging of endogenous HaloTag-Sec23A RPE1 cells dyed with HaloTag JFX650 ligand (green) and stained with antibodies directed against Sec16 (orange) and 𝛽-COP (purple). B. Quantitative data highlighting the relative distribution of COPII (HaloTag-Sec23A) and transitional ER (Sec16A). Left panel: Violin plots of the distance between centroids of endogenous HaloTag-Sec23A puncta from immunostained Sec16 and 𝛽-COP. Extracted from the three-color high resolution confocal fluorescence imaging as exampled in A. For Sec16, n = 5819, from ≥10 cells, across 3 experimental repeats. For 𝛽-COP, n = 4950, from ≥10 cells, across 4 experimental repeats. Right panel: Averaged linescans of Sec16 (orange) and HaloTag-Sec23A (green), extracted from two-colour super resolution STED imaging and fitted from 50 structures across 2 cells over 1 experimental repeat. Standard error is shown by the dotted lines. The intensity values were normalized for display purposes. C.

An updated model of the mammalian ERES. COPII coated vesicles bud off Sec16A-positive segments of the ER membrane in ribosome-free regions of the cytosol. COPII vesicles are clustered by TFG in the area between the transitional ER and the ERGIC. COPI vesicles bud off ERGIC vesicular-tubular membranes and are found in close proximity to COPII.
