RESUMO
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is structurally and functionally diverse, yet how its functions are organized within morphological subdomains is incompletely understood. Utilizing TurboID-based proximity labeling and CRISPR knock-in technologies, here we map the proteomic landscape of the human ER and nuclear envelope. Spatial proteomics reveals enrichments of proteins into ER tubules, sheets, and nuclear envelope. We uncover an ER-enriched actin-binding protein, Calmin (CLMN), and define it as an ER-actin tether that localizes to focal adhesions adjacent to ER tubules. CLMN depletion perturbs focal adhesion disassembly, actin dynamics, and cell movement. Mechanistically, CLMN-depleted cells also exhibit defects in calcium signaling near ER-actin interfaces, suggesting CLMN promotes calcium signaling near adhesions to facilitate their disassembly. Collectively, we map the sub-organelle proteome landscape of the ER, identify CLMN as an ER-actin tether, and describe a non-canonical mechanism by which ER tubules engage actin to regulate cell migration.
RESUMO
Oxidative stress perturbs lipid homeostasis and contributes to metabolic diseases. Though ignored compared to mitochondrial oxidation, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) generates reactive oxygen species requiring antioxidant quality control. Using multi-organismal profiling featuring Drosophila, zebrafish, and mammalian cells, here we characterize the paraoxonase-like APMAP as an ER-localized protein that promotes redox and lipid homeostasis and lipoprotein maturation. APMAP-depleted mammalian cells exhibit defective ER morphology, elevated ER and oxidative stress, lipid droplet accumulation, and perturbed ApoB-lipoprotein homeostasis. Critically, APMAP loss is rescued with chemical antioxidant NAC. Organismal APMAP depletion in Drosophila perturbs fat and lipoprotein homeostasis, and zebrafish display increased vascular ApoB-containing lipoproteins, particles that are atherogenic in mammals. Lipidomics reveals altered polyunsaturated phospholipids and increased ceramides upon APMAP loss, which perturbs ApoB-lipoprotein maturation. These ApoB-associated defects are rescued by inhibiting ceramide synthesis. Collectively, we propose APMAP is an ER-localized antioxidant that promotes lipid and lipoprotein homeostasis.
RESUMO
The forces that orient the spindle in human cells remain poorly understood due to a lack of direct mechanical measurements in mammalian systems. We use magnetic tweezers to measure the force on human mitotic spindles. Combining the spindle's measured resistance to rotation, the speed at which it rotates after laser ablating astral microtubules, and estimates of the number of ablated microtubules reveals that each microtubule contacting the cell cortex is subject to â¼5 pN of pulling force, suggesting that each is pulled on by an individual dynein motor. We find that the concentration of dynein at the cell cortex and extent of dynein clustering are key determinants of the spindle's resistance to rotation, with little contribution from cytoplasmic viscosity, which we explain using a biophysically based mathematical model. This work reveals how pulling forces on astral microtubules determine the mechanics of spindle orientation and demonstrates the central role of cortical dynein clustering.
RESUMO
Lipid composition determines organelle identity; however, whether the lipid composition of the inner nuclear membrane (INM) domain of the ER contributes to its identity is not known. Here, we show that the INM lipid environment of animal cells is under local control by CTDNEP1, the master regulator of the phosphatidic acid phosphatase lipin 1. Loss of CTDNEP1 reduces association of an INM-specific diacylglycerol (DAG) biosensor and results in a decreased percentage of polyunsaturated containing DAG species. Alterations in DAG metabolism impact the levels of the resident INM protein Sun2, which is under local proteasomal regulation. We identify a lipid-binding amphipathic helix (AH) in the nucleoplasmic domain of Sun2 that prefers membrane packing defects. INM dissociation of the Sun2 AH is linked to its proteasomal degradation. We suggest that direct lipid-protein interactions contribute to sculpting the INM proteome and that INM identity is adaptable to lipid metabolism, which has broad implications on disease mechanisms associated with the nuclear envelope.

RESUMO
Failure to reorganize the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in mitosis results in chromosome missegregation. Here, we show that accurate chromosome segregation in human cells requires cell cycle-regulated ER membrane production. Excess ER membranes increase the viscosity of the mitotic cytoplasm to physically restrict chromosome movements, which impedes the correction of mitotic errors leading to the formation of micronuclei. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that the protein phosphatase CTDNEP1 counteracts mTOR kinase to establish a dephosphorylated pool of the phosphatidic acid phosphatase lipin 1 in interphase. CTDNEP1 control of lipin 1 limits the synthesis of fatty acids for ER membrane biogenesis in interphase that then protects against chromosome missegregation in mitosis. Thus, regulation of ER size can dictate the biophysical properties of mitotic cells, providing an explanation for why ER reorganization is necessary for mitotic fidelity. Our data further suggest that dysregulated lipid metabolism is a potential source of aneuploidy in cancer cells.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is composed of interconnected membrane sheets and tubules. Superresolution microscopy recently revealed densely packed, rapidly moving ER tubules mistaken for sheets by conventional light microscopy, highlighting the importance of revisiting classical views of ER structure with high spatiotemporal resolution in living cells. In this study, we use live-cell stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy to survey the architecture of the ER at 50-nm resolution. We determine the nanoscale dimensions of ER tubules and sheets for the first time in living cells. We demonstrate that ER sheets contain highly dynamic, subdiffraction-sized holes, which we call nanoholes, that coexist with uniform sheet regions. Reticulon family members localize to curved edges of holes within sheets and are required for their formation. The luminal tether Climp63 and microtubule cytoskeleton modulate their nanoscale dynamics and organization. Thus, by providing the first quantitative analysis of ER membrane structure and dynamics at the nanoscale, our work reveals that the ER in living cells is not limited to uniform sheets and tubules; instead, we suggest the ER contains a continuum of membrane structures that includes dynamic nanoholes in sheets as well as clustered tubules.

Challenging the idea of the inner nuclear membrane (INM) being an inert compartment, recent work in S. cerevisiae shows that the INM can metabolize lipids and that local lipid metabolism can regulate transcription in response to lipid availability, suggesting a functional role for the INM in cellular lipid homeostasis.
