Abstract:COPII vesicles assemble at ER subdomains called transitional ER (tER) sites, but the mechanism that generates tER sites is unknown. To study tER biogenesis, we analyzed the transmembrane protein Sec12, which initiates COPII vesicle formation. Sec12 is concentrated at discrete tER sites in the budding yeast Pichia pastoris. We find that P. pastoris Sec12 exchanges rapidly between tER sites and the general ER. The tER localization of Sec12 is saturable and is mediated by interaction of the Sec12 cytosolic domain with a partner component. This interaction apparently requires oligomerization of the Sec12 lumenal domain. Redistribution of P. pastoris Sec12 to the general ER does not perturb the localization of downstream tER components, suggesting that Sec12 and other COPII proteins associate with a tER scaffold. These results provide evidence that tER sites form by a network of dynamic associations at the cytosolic face of the ER.
