Motor-driven transport on microtubules is critical for distributing organelles throughout the cell. Most commonly, organelle movement mediated by cargo adaptors, proteins surface of an that directly recruit microtubule-based motors. An alternative mechanism called hitchhiking was recently discovered: some move, not recruiting motors directly, but instead using membrane contact sites to attach motor-driven vesicles and hitchhike along microtubules. Organelle observed across fungi animals. In filamentous fungi, nearly all peroxisomes move early endosomes (EEs). fungus Aspergillus nidulans , EE-associated linker PxdA DipA are establishing EE-peroxisome required peroxisome movement. How recognize this subset EEs what peroxisome-membrane exist can interact with known. Here, we undertook a forward mutagenesis screen identify such proteins. We discovered acyl-coA binding (ACB) domain-containing protein AcbdA/AN1062 localizes via its tail-anchored transmembrane domain (TMD). Deleting AcbdA gene or only N-terminal ACB perturbs distribution peroxisomes. Importantly, recruitment EEs. Fatty acid (FA)-induced increases in require AcbdA, suggesting coupled FA metabolism. Mutating conserved FFAT motif, predicted endoplasmic reticulum (ER), has no effect Taken together, our data indicate tether during hitchhiking. AcbdA’s involvement peroxisome-EE site formation represents divergence from known functions Acbd4/5 adds layers understanding functionality family

Abstract Functions of protein SUMOylation remain incompletely understood in different cell types. Via forward genetics, here we identified ubaBQ247*, a loss-of-function mutation SUMO activation enzyme UbaB the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. The ΔubaB, and ΔsumO mutants all produce abnormal chromatin bridges, indicating importance completion chromosome segregation. bridges are enclosed by nuclear membrane containing peripheral pore complex proteins that normally get dispersed during mitosis, also surrounded cytoplasmic microtubules typical interphase cells. Time-lapse sequences further indicate most persist through prior to next anaphase segregation can new into interphase. When first mitosis happens at higher temperature 42°C, deficiency produces not only but many abnormally shaped single nuclei fail divide. UbaB-GFP localizes just like previously studied SumO-GFP, signals disappear when pores partially open, reappear after mitosis. localization is consistent with targets being proteins. Finally, although budding yeast machinery interacts LIS1, critical for dynein activation, loss does cause any obvious defect dynein-mediated transport early endosomes, unnecessary A.
