The formation of transport vesicles that bud from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit sites is dependent on the COPII coat made up of three components: the small GTPase Sar1, the Sec23/24 complex, and the Sec13/31 complex. Here, we provide evidence that apoptosis-linked gene 2 (ALG-2), a Call-binding protein of unknown function, regulates the COPII function at ER exit sites in mammalian cells. ALG-2 bound to the Pro-rich region of Sec31A, a ubiquitously expressed mammalian orthologue of yeast Sec31, in a Ca21-dependent manner and colocalized with Sec31A at ER exit sites. A Ca2+ binding-deficient ALG-2 mutant, which did not bind Sec31A, lost the ability to localize to ER exit sites. Overexpression of the Pro-rich region of Sec31A or RNA interference-mediated Sec31A depletion also abolished the ALG-2 localization at these sites. In contrast, depletion of ALG-2 substantially reduced the level of Sec31A associated with the membrane at ER exit sites. Finally, treatment with a cell-permeable Ca2+ chelator caused the mislocalization of ALG-2, which was accompanied by a reduced level of Sec31A at ER exit sites. We conclude that ALG-2 is recruited to ER exit sites via Ca2+-dependent interaction with Sec31A and in turn stabilizes the localization of Sec31A at these sites.
