Abstract

Nuclear envelope (NE) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) collaborate to control a multitude of nuclear and cytoplasmic actions. In this context, the transmembrane protein TMEM147 localizes to both NE and ER, and through direct and indirect interactions regulates processes as varied as production and transport of multipass membrane proteins, neuronal signaling, nuclear-shape, lamina and chromatin dynamics and cholesterol synthesis. Aiming to delineate the emerging multifunctionality of TMEM147 more comprehensively, we set as objectives, first, to assess potentially more fundamental effects of TMEM147 on the ER and, second, to identify significantly TMEM147-associated cell-wide protein networks and pathways. Quantifying curved and flat ER markers RTN4 and CLIMP63/CKAP4, respectively, we found that TMEM147 silencing causes area and intensity increases for both RTN4 and CLIMP63, and the ER in general, with a profound shift toward flat areas, concurrent with reduction in DNA condensation. Protein network and pathway analyses based on comprehensive compilation of TMEM147 interactors, targets and co-factors then served to manifest novel and established roles for TMEM147. Thus, algorithmically simplified significant pathways reflect TMEM147 function in ribosome binding, oxidoreductase activity, G protein-coupled receptor activity and transmembrane transport, while analysis of protein factors and networks identifies hub proteins and corresponding pathways as potential targets of TMEM147 action and of future functional studies.
