Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-plasma membrane (PM) tethering is crucial for the non-vesicular lipid transport between the ER membrane and the PM. However, the PM-associated ER can impede the PM binding of cytoskeletons and other organelles. It is poorly understood how the competition between the ER and cytoskeletons/organelles on the PM is resolved. Here, we show that, upon septin collar assembly, ER-PM tethering proteins are excluded from the yeast bud sites, and the PM-associated ER is locally detached from the PM. Our results suggest that PM flows by polarized exocytosis extrude PM proteins, including ER-PM tethering proteins, from the bud sites. When the reorganization of the ER-PM tethering was inhibited by exocytosis repression, septin localization was restricted to the PM sites poor in ER-PM tethering proteins. This study proposes machinery reconciling ER-septin competition on the PM, providing mechanistic insights into the spatial organization of PM-associated organelles and cytoskeletons.
内质网(ER)-质膜(PM)连接对于 ER 膜和 PM 之间的非囊泡脂质转运至关重要。然而,PM 相关的 ER 会阻碍 PM 与细胞骨架和其他细胞器的结合。目前尚不清楚 ER 和 PM 上的细胞骨架/细胞器之间的竞争是如何解决的。在这里,我们表明,在 septin 套环组装后,ER-PM 连接蛋白被排除在酵母芽位点之外,并且 PM 相关的 ER 从 PM 上局部脱离。我们的结果表明,通过极化胞吐作用,PM 流将 PM 蛋白(包括 ER-PM 连接蛋白)从芽位点挤出。当通过抑制胞吐作用来抑制 ER-PM 连接的重排时,septin 定位被限制在 ER-PM 连接蛋白含量低的 PM 位点。这项研究提出了一种协调 PM 上 ER-septin 竞争的机制,为 PM 相关细胞器和细胞骨架的空间组织提供了机制上的见解。
