This important paper shows that a family of ER integral membrane proteins is implicated in the formation of branching ER tubules, independently of cytoskeletal elements. The transmembrane domains of the proteins are proposed to induce curvature of ER membranes, similar to the manner in which caveolin bends the membranes of caveolae.

32. •], this article illustrates regulatory mechanisms governing the interaction between the ER and the microtubule cytoskeleton. Here, a peripheral membrane protein that modulates interactions between the ER and microtubules is identified. Changes in the calcium-modulated activity of this protein change both microtubule organization and the density of branching ER networks.

VAPs bind peripheral proteins carrying a FFAT motif (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract) [35] that are implicated in lipid exchange between the ER and other organelles. In this study, the crystal structure of rat VAP-A MSP homology domain, alone and in complex with a FFAT motif, is solved. On the basis of the structure, the authors produce a mutant defective in FFAT binding and investigate its effects on ER structure.

J Cell Biol 163 (2003) 257-269. Several distinct OSER structures are induced by a variety of different resident ER membrane proteins that share a single common feature, a cytoplasmic domain capable of low affinity homotypic interactions. The OSER-inducing proteins retain full diffusional mobility within the membrane of the tightly packed cisternae. This mechanism is potentially relevant to the formation of other stacked membrane organelles [55].

The authors show that the drug 1-Phenyl-2-decanoyl-amino-3-morpholino-1-propanol hydrochloride (PDMP) can rapidly and reversibly induce the formation of SER patches in cultured cells. The study provides an interesting model system in which to study ER restructuring events in the absence of membrane proliferation.
