The Golgi compartment performs a number of crucial roles in the cell. However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying these actions are not fully defined. Pathogenic mutations in genes encoding Golgi proteins may serve as an important source for expanding our knowledge. For instance, mutations in the gene encoding Transmembrane protein 165 (TMEM165) were discovered as a cause of a new type of congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG). Comprehensive studies of TMEM165 in different model systems, including mammals, yeast, and fish uncovered the new realm of Mn2+ homeostasis regulation. TMEM165 was shown to act as a Ca2+/Mn2+:H+ antiporter in the medial- and trans-Golgi network, pumping the metal ions into the Golgi lumen and protons outside. Disruption of TMEM165 antiporter activity results in defects in N- and O-glycosylation of proteins and glycosylation of lipids. Impaired glycosylation of TMEM165-CDG arises from a lack of Mn2+ within the Golgi. Nevertheless, Mn2+ insufficiency in the Golgi is compensated by the activity of the ATPase SERCA2. TMEM165 turnover has also been found to be regulated by Mn2+ cytosolic concentration. Besides causing CDG, recent investigations have demonstrated the functional involvement of TMEM165 in several other pathologies including cancer and mental health disorders. This systematic review summarizes the available information on TMEM165 molecular structure, cellular function, and its roles in health and disease.

Background Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare, autosomal dominant, hereditary skin disorder characterised by epidermal acantholysis. The HHD-associated gene ATPase calcium-transporting type 2C member 1 (ATP2C1) encodes the protein secretory pathway Ca2+ ATPase1 (SPCA1), playing a critical role in HHD pathogenesis. Aims We aimed to investigate the effect of ATP2C1 knockdown on keratinocytes that mimicked acantholysis in HHD. Methods Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to evaluate the levels of cytoskeletal and tight junction proteins such as SPCA1, P-cofilin, F-actin, claudins, occludin, and zonula occludens 1 in the skin biopsies of patients with HHD. Subsequently, the expression of these proteins in cultured ATP2C1 knockdown keratinocytes was analysed using Western blotting and immunofluorescence. Furthermore, we assessed the proliferation, apoptosis, and intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in the ATP2C1-knocked keratinocytes. Results The results showed decreased levels of these proteins (SPCA1, P-cofilin, F-actin, claudins, occluding, and zonula occludens 1) in HHD skin lesions. Moreover, their levels decreased in human keratinocytes transfected with ATP2C1 short hairpin RNA, accompanied by morphological acantholysis. Furthermore, the proliferation and apoptosis of the keratinocytes, as well as intracellular calcium concentrations in these cells, were not affected. Limitations The limitations of this study are the absence of animal experiments and the failure to explore the relationship between skeletal and tight junction proteins. Conclusion The present study indicated that ATP2C1 inhibition led to abnormal levels of the cytoskeletal and tight junction proteins in the keratinocytes. Therefore, keratinocytes can mimic HHD-like acantholysis and serve as an in vitro model, helping develop treatment strategies against HHD.

Calcium signalling is involved in many processes in mammalian retina, from development to mature functions and neurodegeneration. Although proteins involved in Ca2+ entry in retinal cells have been well studied, less is known about Ca2+-clearance. Among the Ca2+ pumps, plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPases (PMCAs) have been identified as key proteins extruding Ca2+ across the plasma membrane with specific distribution in developing and adult retina. However, the two main isoforms of intracellular Ca2+-ATPases in the central nervous system, the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+-ATPase 2b (SERCA2b) and the secretory pathway Ca2+-ATPase 1 (SPCA1), which remove cytosolic Ca2+ into intracellular stores, have been less or not at all analysed, respectively. In this study, we described for the first time the SPCA1 localisation in adult mouse retina and we report differential distributions of SERCA2b and SPCA1 transporters within various classes of retinal neurons and distinct subcellular localisations. In addition, we studied the expression and localisation of both Ca2+ pumps in 661W cells, a cone photoreceptor-derived cell line. Since continuous exposure to high light intensity induces photodegeneration, we analysed the effect of LED light exposure on these cells and SERCA2b and SPCA1 distribution. We found that continuous mild LED-light exposure compromised cell survival and produced stress in the ER and Golgi, the Ca2+ stores where the two pumps are localised. These effects were reversed after halting light exposure and washing. This study demonstrates that Ca2+ signalling may be involved in light-induced photoreceptor cell damage and points to previously unrecognised functions of intracellular Ca2+-ATPases in retina physiology.

Golgi cation homeostasis is known to be crucial for many cellular processes including vesicular fusion events, protein secretion, as well as for the activity of Golgi glycosyltransferases and glycosidases. TMEM165 was identified in 2012 as the first cation transporter related to human glycosylation diseases, namely the Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG). Interestingly, divalent manganese (Mn) supplementation has been shown to suppress the observed glycosylation defects in TMEM165-deficient cell lines, thus suggesting that TMEM165 is involved in cellular Mn homeostasis. This paper demonstrates that the origin of the Golgi glycosylation defects arises from impaired Golgi Mn homeostasis in TMEM165-depleted cells. We show that Mn supplementation fully rescues the Mn content in the secretory pathway/organelles of TMEM165-depleted cells and hence the glycosylation process. Strong cytosolic and organellar Mn accumulations can also be observed in TMEM165- and SPCA1-depleted cells upon incubation with increasing Mn concentrations, thus demonstrating the crucial involvement of these two proteins in cellular Mn homeostasis. Interestingly, our results show that the cellular Mn homeostasis maintenance in control cells is correlated with the presence of TMEM165 and that the Mn-detoxifying capacities of cells, through the activity of SPCA1, rely on the Mn-induced degradation mechanism of TMEM165. Finally, this paper highlights that TMEM165 is essential in secretory pathway/organelles Mn homeostasis maintenance to ensure both Golgi glycosylation enzyme activities and cytosolic Mn detoxification.

Manganese (II) accumulation in human brain microvascular endothelial cells is mediated by the metal-ion transporters ZRT IRT-like protein 8 (ZIP8) and ZRT IRT-like protein 14 (ZIP14). The plasma membrane occupancy of ZIP14, in particular, is increased in cells treated with Mn2+, lipopolysaccharide, or IL-6, but the mechanism of this regulation has not been elucidated. The calcium-transporting type 2C member 1 ATPase, SPCA1, is a Golgi-localized Ca2+-uptake transporter thought to support Golgi uptake of Mn2+ also. Here, we show using surface protein biotinylation, indirect immunofluorescence, and GFP-tagged proteins that cytoplasmic Ca2+ regulates ZIP8- and ZIP14-mediated manganese accumulation in human brain microvascular endothelial cells by increasing the plasma membrane localization of these transporters. We demonstrate that RNAi knockdown of SPCA1 expression results in an increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels. In turn, we found increased cytoplasmic Ca2+ enhances membrane-localized ZIP8 and ZIP14 and a subsequent increase in 54Mn2+ uptake. Furthermore, overexpression of WT SPCA1 or a gain-of-function mutant resulted in a decrease in cytoplasmic Ca2+ and 54Mn2+ accumulation. While addition of Ca2+ positively regulated ZIP-mediated 54Mn2+ uptake, we show chelation of Ca2+ diminished manganese transport. In conclusion, the modulation of ZIP8 and ZIP14 membrane cycling by cytoplasmic calcium is a novel finding and provides new insight into the regulation of the uptake of Mn2+ and other divalent metal ions-mediated ZIP metal transporters.

Secretory pathway calcium ATPase 1 (SPCA1) is a calcium pump localized specifically to the Golgi. Its effects on UVA-induced senescence have never been examined. In our study, expression of SPCA1 was increased in UVA-irradiated human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) by activating mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and its downstream transcription factor, c-jun. Dual-luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed that c-jun regulated SPCA1 by binding to its promoter. Furthermore, downregulating SPCA1 with siRNA transfection aggravated UVA-induced senescence due to an elevation of intracellular calcium concentrations and a subsequent increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MAPK activity. In contrast, overexpression of SPCA1 reduced calcium overload, consequently lowering the ROS level and suppressing MAPK activation. This alleviated the cellular senescence caused by UVA irradiation. These results indicated that SPCA1 might exert a protective effect on UVA-induced senescence in HDFs via forming a negative feedback loop. Specifically, activation of MAPK/c-jun triggered by UVA transcriptionally upregulated SPCA1. In turn, the increased SPCA1 lowered the intracellular Ca2+ level, probably through pumping Ca2+ into the Golgi, leading to a reduction of ROS, eventually decreasing MAPK activity and diminishing UVA-induced senescence.

Olfactory mucosa mesenchymal stem cells (OM-MSCs) have exhibited their effectiveness in central nervous system diseases and provided an appealing candidate for the treatment of ischemic stroke. Previous evidence have shown that Golgi apparatus (GA) secretory pathway Ca2+-ATPase isoform1 (SPCA1) was a potential therapeutic target for ischemic stroke. In this study, we explored the neuroprotective mechanism of OM-MSCs and its effect on the expression and function of SPCA1 during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. Based on in vitro and in vivo experiments, we discovered that OM-MSCs attenuated apoptosis and oxidative stress in ischemic stroke models, reduced the cerebral infarction volume, and improved the neurologic deficits of rats. OM-MSCs also upregulated SPCA1 expression and alleviated Ca2+ overload and decreased the edema and dissolution of the GA in neurons. Moreover, we discovered that SPCA1 depletion in oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-treated N2a cells mitigated the protective effects of OM-MSCs. Altogether, OM-MSCs exerted neuroprotective effects in ischemic stroke probably via modulating SPCA1 and reducing the edema and dissolution of the GA in neurons.

Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is genetic skin disorder characterized by repeated and exacerbated skin lesions in friction regions. ATP2C1, encoding SPCA1, was demonstrated to be the responsible gene for HHD pathogenesis. However, for some cases, no ATP2C1 mutation could be determined by standard Sanger sequencing, thereby obscuring the cause and diagnosis of HHD. In this study, we investigated the possibility that HHD is caused by complex ATP2C1 defects using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis for 10 of 50 cases in our institute without ATP2C1 mutations. In one female Japanese patient and her father, who also show HHD, MLPA followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses revealed a novel duplication of exons 8-16 of ATP2C1. The duplication was predicted to add 20,615 base pairs, 882 nt, and 294-amino-acid residues to the genome, mRNA and SPCA1 protein, respectively. By reverse transcriptase-PCR using patient skin RNA, we could confirm that a larger transcript was produced and we found that the abundance of the normal transcript was clearly reduced in the patient. Putative structures of wild-type and duplicated proteins revealed differences in arrangement of SPCA1 domains that may have functional consequences. Strikingly, the phosphorylation and the nucleotide-binding domains were interrupted by insertion of a partial actuator, transmembrane, and phosphorylation domains. The additional 294 amino acids appear to disrupt SPCA1 structure and function, causing HHD. Our study expands the spectrum of genetic defects in HHD and showed that disruption of SPCA1 structure and function by the microduplication caused HHD in the patient and her father.

TMEM165 is a Golgi protein whose deficiency causes a Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG). We have demonstrated that Mn2+ supplementation could suppress the glycosylation defects observed in TMEM165-deficient cells and that TMEM165 was a Mn2+-sensitive protein. In the Golgi, the other transmembrane protein capable to regulate Mn2+/Ca2+ homeostasis is SPCA1, encoded by the ATP2C1 gene. A loss of one copy of the ATP2C1 gene leads to Hailey-Hailey Disease (HHD), an acantholytic skin disorder in Humans. Our latest results suggest an unexpected functional link between SPCA1 and TMEM165. In order to clarify this link in case of partial SPCA1 deficiency, HHD fibroblasts were used to assess TMEM165 expression, subcellular localization and Mn2+-induced degradation. No differences were observed regarding TMEM165 expression and localization in HHD patients\' fibroblasts compared to control fibroblasts. Nevertheless, we demonstrated both for fibroblasts and keratinocytes that TMEM165 expression is more sensitive to MnCl2 exposure in HHD cells than in control cells. We linked, using ICP-MS and GPP130 as a Golgi Mn2+ sensor, this higher Mn2+-induced sensitivity to a cytosolic Mn accumulation in MnCl2 supplemented HHD fibroblasts. Altogether, these results link the function of SPCA1 to the stability of TMEM165 in a pathological context of Hailey-Hailey disease.

TMEM165 was highlighted in 2012 as the first member of the Uncharacterized Protein Family 0016 (UPF0016) related to human glycosylation diseases. Defects in TMEM165 are associated with strong Golgi glycosylation abnormalities. Our previous work has shown that TMEM165 rapidly degrades with supraphysiological manganese supplementation. In this paper, we establish a functional link between TMEM165 and SPCA1, the Golgi Ca2+/Mn2+ P-type ATPase pump. A nearly complete loss of TMEM165 was observed in SPCA1-deficient Hap1 cells. We demonstrate that TMEM165 was constitutively degraded in lysosomes in the absence of SPCA1. Complementation studies showed that TMEM165 abundance was directly dependent on SPCA1\'s function and more specifically its capacity to pump Mn2+ from the cytosol into the Golgi lumen. Among SPCA1 mutants that differentially impair Mn2+ and Ca2+ transport, only the Q747A mutant that favors Mn2+ pumping rescues the abundance and Golgi subcellular localization of TMEM165. Interestingly, the overexpression of SERCA2b also rescues the expression of TMEM165. Finally, this paper highlights that TMEM165 expression is linked to the function of SPCA1.
