The name "COPII" refers to the specific '''co'''at '''p'''rotein complex that initiates the budding process. The coat consists of large protein subcomplexes that are made of four different protein subunits.


The '''Coat Protein Complex II''', or '''COPII''', is a group of [[protein]]s that facilitate the formation of [[Vesicle (biology and chemistry)|vesicle]]s to transport proteins from the [[endoplasmic reticulum]] to the [[Golgi apparatus]] or [[endoplasmic-reticulum–Golgi intermediate compartment]].

COPII is assembled in two parts: first an inner layer of Sar1, Sec23, and Sec24 forms; then the inner coat is surrounded by an outer lattice of Sec13 and Sec31.
==Coat proteins==
COPII's coat is composed of five proteins: [[SAR1A|Sar1]], [[SEC23A|Sec23]], [[SEC24A|Sec24]], [[SEC13|Sec13]], and [[SEC31|Sec31]].<ref name="D'Arcangelo 2013">{{cite journal | author1= D'Arcangelo, Jennifer G.|author2= Stahmer, Kyle R. |author3=Miller, Elizabeth A. | title =Vesicle-mediated export from the ER: COPII coat function and regulation| journal = Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research | volume = 1833| issue = 11 | pages = 2464–2472 |date=November 2013 | pmid = 23419775| pmc=3676692| doi =10.1016/j.bbamcr.2013.02.003 }}</ref>
These proteins dimerize to form larger protein complexes:
*[[SEC23A|Sec23p]]/[[SEC24A|Sec24p]] Heterodimer
*[[SEC13|Sec13p]]/[[SEC31|Sec31p]] Heterotetramer


==Function==
It is important to note that there are five different types of proteins that constitute the COPII coat, but multiple proteins of the same variety compose the protein complexes critical to the formation of the COPII coat.
The COPII coat is responsible for the formation of vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These vesicles transport cargo proteins to the Golgi apparatus (in yeast) or the endoplasmic-reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC, in mammals).<ref name=Peotter2019/>


Coat assembly is initiated when the [[cytosol]]ic [[Ras GTPase]] Sar1 is activated by its [[guanine nucleotide exchange factor]] Sec12.<ref name=Peotter2019/> Activated Sar1-GTP inserts itself into the ER membrane, binding preferentially to areas of membrane curvature. As Sar1-GTP inserts into the membrane, it recruits Sec23 and Sec24 to make up the inner cage.<ref name=Peotter2019/> Once the inner coat is assembled, the outer coat proteins Sec13 and Sec31 are recruited to the budding vesicle.<ref name=Peotter2019/> Hydrolysis of the Sar1 GTP to GDP promotes disassembly of the coat.
These coat proteins are necessary but insufficient to direct or dock the vesicle to the correct target membrane. SNARE, cargo, and other proteins are also needed for these processes to occur.

==Budding process==


Sec24 proteins recognize various cargo proteins, packaging them into the budding vesicles.
Assembly of COPII vesicles can be summarized as:
# Sar1-GDP interacts with the ER transmembrane protein Sec12.
# Sar1-GTP recruits Sec23/Sec24 coat protein to form a pre-budding complex.
# Pre-budding complex(composed of Sar1-GTP bound with Sec23/24) recruits Sec13/Sec31, which forms the second coat layer.
# Sec13/Sec31 complex forms a cage-like outer coat(similar to the formation of [[Clathrin]] vesicles).


==Structure==
[[Sar1]]p is a [[GTPase]] that acts as a "switch" that flips between an activated membrane embedded GTP-bound form, and an inactive soluble GDP-bound form.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Bonifacino JS, Glick BS | title = The mechanisms of vesicle budding and fusion | journal = Cell | volume = 116 | issue = 2 | pages = 153–66 | date = January 2004 | pmid = 14744428 | doi = 10.1016/s0092-8674(03)01079-1 }}</ref> Inactive GDP-bound Sar1p is attracted to the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum.

The COPII coat consists of an inner layer – a flexible meshwork of Sar1, Sec23, and Sec24 – and an outer layer made of Sec13 and Sec31.<ref name=Peotter2019>{{cite journal |vauthors=Peotter J, Kasberg W, Pustova I, Audhya A |title=COPII-mediated trafficking at the ER/ERGIC interface |journal=Traffic |volume=20 |issue=7 |pages=491–503 |date=July 2019 |pmid=31059169 |pmc=6640837 |doi=10.1111/tra.12654}}</ref> Sar1 resembles other Ras-family GTPases, with a core of six [[beta strand]]s flanked by three [[alpha helix|alpha helices]], and two flexible "switch domains".

These coat proteins are necessary but insufficient to direct or dock the vesicle to the correct target membrane. [[SNARE (protein)|SNARE]], cargo, and other proteins are also needed for these processes to occur.
Sec12, a transmembrane protein found in the ER acts as a [[Guanine nucleotide exchange factor]] by stimulating the release of GDP to allow the binding of GTP in Sar1.


Pre-budding complex (composed of Sar1-GTP and Sec23/24) recruits the flexible Sec13p/31p complex, characterized by polymerization of the Sec13/31 complex with other Sec13/31 complexes to form a [[cuboctahedron]] with a broader lattice than its [[Clathrin]] vesicle analog. The formation of the cuboctahedron deforms the ER membrane and detaches the COPII vesicle (alongside cargo proteins and v-SNAREs), completing the COPII vesicle budding process.<ref name="Fath 2007">{{cite journal | vauthors = Fath S, Mancias JD, Bi X, Goldberg J | title = Structure and organization of coat proteins in the COPII cage | journal = Cell | volume = 129 | issue = 7 | pages = 1325–36 | date = June 2007 | pmid = 17604721 | doi = 10.1016/j.cell.2007.05.036 | s2cid = 10692166 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
GTP-bound Sar1p undergoes a conformational change which exposes an N-terminal amphipathic a-helix (other sources say a hydrophobic tail) to be inserted into the ER membrane. Membrane-bound Sar1p recruits the Sec23p/24p complex to form what is collectively known as the pre-budding complex. Sec23/Sec24 specifically binds to specific sorting signals in membrane cargo protein cytosolic domains, these sorting signals do not share a simple signal motif like [[KDEL (amino acid sequence)|KDEL]] or [[KKXX (amino acid sequence)|KKXX]]. Recent research suggests that multiple ER export signals cooperate to segregate and exclude unassembled cargo.{{r|D'Arcangelo 2013}}

The Coat Protein Complex II, or COPII, is a group of proteins that facilitate the formation of vesicles to transport proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus or endoplasmic-reticulum–Golgi intermediate compartment. This process is termed anterograde transport, in contrast to the retrograde transport associated with the COPI complex. COPII is assembled in two parts: first an inner layer of Sar1, Sec23, and Sec24 forms; then the inner coat is surrounded by an outer lattice of Sec13 and Sec31.

Function

[edit]

The COPII coat is responsible for the formation of vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These vesicles transport cargo proteins to the Golgi apparatus (in yeast) or the endoplasmic-reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC, in mammals).[1]

Coat assembly is initiated when the cytosolic Ras GTPase Sar1 is activated by its guanine nucleotide exchange factor Sec12.[1] Activated Sar1-GTP inserts itself into the ER membrane, binding preferentially to areas of membrane curvature. As Sar1-GTP inserts into the membrane, it recruits Sec23 and Sec24 to make up the inner cage.[1] Once the inner coat is assembled, the outer coat proteins Sec13 and Sec31 are recruited to the budding vesicle.[1] Hydrolysis of the Sar1 GTP to GDP promotes disassembly of the coat.

Some proteins are found to be responsible for selectively packaging cargos into COPII vesicles. More recent research suggests the Sec23/Sec24-Sar1 complex participates in cargo selection.[2] For example, Erv29p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is found to be necessary for packaging glycosylated pro-α-factor.[3]

Sec24 proteins recognize various cargo proteins, packaging them into the budding vesicles.

Structure

[edit]
Human Sar1A bound to GDP

The COPII coat consists of an inner layer – a flexible meshwork of Sar1, Sec23, and Sec24 – and an outer layer made of Sec13 and Sec31.[1] Sar1 resembles other Ras-family GTPases, with a core of six beta strands flanked by three alpha helices, and two flexible "switch domains". Unlike other Ras GTPases, Sar1 inserts into membranes via an N-terminal helix (rather than myristoylation or prenylation).[1]

These coat proteins are necessary but insufficient to direct or dock the vesicle to the correct target membrane. SNARE, cargo, and other proteins are also needed for these processes to occur.

Pre-budding complex (composed of Sar1-GTP and Sec23/24) recruits the flexible Sec13p/31p complex, characterized by polymerization of the Sec13/31 complex with other Sec13/31 complexes to form a cuboctahedron with a broader lattice than its Clathrin vesicle analog. The formation of the cuboctahedron deforms the ER membrane and detaches the COPII vesicle (alongside cargo proteins and v-SNAREs), completing the COPII vesicle budding process.[2]

Regulation

[edit]

The signal(s) that triggers Sec12 to initiate COPII assembly remains unclear, though some regulators of coat formation are now known.[4] The frequency of COPII formation is regulated in part by Sec16A and Tango1 proteins, likely by concentrating Sec12 in a given location, so it can more efficiently activate Sar1.[1]

Evolution

[edit]

In mammals there are two Sar1 genes: SAR1A and SAR1B (SAR1B was previously known as SARA2[5]). In cultured mammalian cells the two Sar1 genes appear redundant; however, in animals SAR1B is uniquely required for the formation of large (over 1 micrometer across) COPII-coated vesicles.[1]

Similarly, mammals express two Sec23 genes: SEC23A and SEC23B. The two Sec23 isoforms have identical function but are expressed in different body tissues. Both Sec23 proteins can interact with any of the four Sec24 proteins: SEC24A, SEC24B, SEC24C, and SEC24D.[1]

Role in disease

[edit]

Lethal or pathogenic variants of most COPII proteins have been described. Loss of Sar1B in mice results in death soon after birth.[6] In humans, inheriting two copies of certain SAR1B variants results in Chylomicron retention disease,[1] and loss of Sar1B causes a combination of chylomicron retention disease and the neuromuscular disorder Marinesco–Sjögren syndrome.[6]

Loss of Sec23A is lethal to mice in utero.[6] In humans, a Sec23A variant causes Cranio-lenticulo-sutural dysplasia, while Sec23B variants are associated with the bone marrow disease congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II and some cancers.[6][1] Mice without Sec23B die soon after birth.[6] Halperin-Birk syndrome (HLBKS), a rare autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder, is caused by a null mutation in the SEC31A.[7]

Conformational changes

[edit]

CopII has three specific binding sites that can each be complexed. The adjacent picture (Sed5) uses the Sec22 t-SNARE complex to bind. This site is more strongly bound, and therefore is more favored. (Embo)

Research

[edit]

Mutations the threonine at position 39 to asparagine generates a dominant negative Sar1A bound permanently to GDP; mutating histidine 79 to glycine generates a constitutively active Sar1A, with GTP hydrolysis slowed dramatically.[1]
