According to live-cell calcium-imaging experiments, the Sec61 complex is a passive calcium-leak channel in the human endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane that is regulated by ER luminal immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP) and cytosolic Ca(2+)-calmodulin. In single channel measurements, the open Sec61 complex is Ca(2+) permeable. It can be closed not only by interaction with BiP or Ca(2+)-calmodulin, but also with Pseudomonas aeruginosa Exotoxin A which can enter human cells by retrograde transport. Exotoxin A has been shown to interact with the Sec61 complex and, thereby, inhibit ER export of immunogenic peptides into the cytosol. Here, we show that Exotoxin A also inhibits passive Ca(2+) leakage from the ER in human cells, and we characterized the N-terminus of the Sec61 α-subunit as the relevant binding site for Exotoxin A.
根据活细胞钙成像实验,Sec61复合物是人类内质网(ER)膜中的一种被动钙泄漏通道,受内质网腔免疫球蛋白重链结合蛋白(BiP)和胞质Ca(2+)-钙调蛋白调节。在单通道测量中,开放的Sec61复合物对Ca(2+)具有通透性。它不仅可以通过与BiP或Ca(2+)-钙调蛋白相互作用而关闭,还可以与铜绿假单胞菌外毒素A相互作用而关闭,外毒素A可通过逆行转运进入人类细胞。外毒素A已被证明与Sec61复合物相互作用,从而抑制免疫原性肽从内质网向胞质溶胶的输出。在这里,我们表明外毒素A还抑制人类细胞中内质网的被动Ca(2+)泄漏,并且我们将Sec61α亚基的N端鉴定为外毒素A的相关结合位点。
