Elevación del tráfico endocítico mediado por GPRASP2 para mantener la fidelidad de las HSC
bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology
|February 23, 2026
Resumen
Las células madre hematopoyéticas (HSC) quiescentes utilizan una mayor endocitosis, regulada por GPRASP2, para mantener la autorrenovación y prevenir el agotamiento. Este proceso limita la señalización, asegurando la función de las células madre.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Celular
- Hematopoyesis
- Biología de Células Madre
Sus antecedentes:
- El tráfico endolisosomal es crucial para la homeostasis celular y la regulación de la señalización.
- El mantenimiento de las células madre hematopoyéticas (HSC) requiere un equilibrio entre quiescencia y activación.
- El papel de las vías endocíticas en la quiescencia y función de las HSC no se comprende completamente.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar el papel de la endocitosis en el mantenimiento de la autorrenovación de las HSC quiescentes.
- Identificar proteínas específicas involucradas en la regulación endocítica de la función de las HSC.
- Elucidar el mecanismo por el cual la endocitosis influye en la señalización y proliferación de las HSC.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de la actividad endocítica en HSC quiescentes.
- Investigación del papel de GPRASP2 en la endocitosis y función de las HSC.
- Evaluación de la proliferación y señalización de las HSC tras la interrupción de la endocitosis mediada por GPRASP2.
Principales resultados:
- Las HSC quiescentes presentan una mayor endocitosis esencial para la autorrenovación.
- Se identifica GPRASP2 como una proteína clave que media la endocitosis en las HSC.
- La interrupción de la endocitosis mediada por GPRASP2 conduce a un aumento de la proliferación y señalización de las HSC.
Conclusiones:
- La endocitosis elevada, mediada por GPRASP2, es fundamental para mantener la quiescencia y autorrenovación de las HSC.
- La endocitosis actúa como un mecanismo para atenuar la señalización mediante la internalización de receptores, previniendo el agotamiento de las HSC.
- La focalización de las vías endocíticas puede ofrecer estrategias para manejar la función de las HSC y prevenir la disfunción de las células madre relacionada con la edad.

ER Retrieval Pathway
4.9K
In the secretory pathway, vesicles transport proteins from one cellular compartment to another in forward transport to deliver the protein to its correct location. Occasionally, misfolded proteins and incorrect proteins escape their original compartments, and a retrieval pathway is used to return the escaped proteins to their original compartment.
The ER uses many checkpoints to prevent the entry of incorrectly folded or a resident protein as cargo onto a transport vesicle. These mechanisms...

Recycling Endosomes and Transcytosis
3.7K
The recycling endosome, also known as the endosomal recycling compartment (ERC), is a part of the slow-recycling process of the endocytic pathway. Molecules internalized through receptor-mediated endocytosis are either degraded in the lysosomes or are recycled to the plasma membrane through the fast- or slow-recycling route.
The recycling endosome is not a single organelle but an extensively tubulated network of recycling pathways. It functions in storing molecules or transporting them across...

Export of Misfolded Proteins out of the ER
5.3K
After folding, the ER assesses the quality of secretory and membrane proteins. The correctly folded proteins are cleared by the calnexin cycle for transport to their final destination, while misfolded proteins are held back in the ER lumen. The ER chaperones attempt to unfold and refold the misfolded proteins but sometimes fail to achieve the correct native conformation. Such terminally misfolded proteins are then exported to the cytosol by ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathway for...

Vesicular Tubular Clusters
3.3K
After budding out from the ER membrane, some COPII vesicles lose their coat and fuse with one another to form larger vesicles and interconnected tubules called vesicular tubular clusters or VTCs. These clusters constitute a compartment at the ER-Golgi interface known as ERGIC (Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Intermediate Compartment). The ERGIC is a mobile membrane-bound cargo transport system that sorts proteins secreted from ER and delivers them to the Golgi.

Coat Assembly and GTPases
4.5K
Vesicles incorporate different coat protein subunits in different cell locations, which changes the properties of the coat, such as the shape and geometry of the transport vesicles. Thus, vesicle coat proteins also play a significant role in cargo selection.
Coat assembly depends on the local availability of phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs and GTP-binding proteins. Adaptor proteins, which link the coat proteins to the membrane, bind to these PIPs and play a crucial role in controlling...

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting
3.4K
Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...
