Background: BmCREC was supposed to supercoil DNA in the nucleus. Results: BmCREC is retrieved to the ER by KDEL receptor- and COPI-mediated transport. Defects in ER retrieval of BmCREC lead to disrupted ER/Golgi morphology. Conclusion: BmCREC, as an ER luminal protein, functions to maintain ER/Golgi morphology. Significance: This study facilitates the understanding of the roles of ER luminal proteins in regulating ER/Golgi morphology. Silkworm posterior silkgland is a model for studying intracellular trafficking. Here, using this model, we identify several potential cargo proteins of BmKinesin-1 and focus on one candidate, BmCREC. BmCREC (also known as Bombyx mori DNA supercoiling factor, BmSCF) was previously proposed to supercoil DNA in the nucleus. However, we show here that BmCREC is localized in the ER lumen. Its C-terminal tetrapeptide HDEF is recognized by the KDEL receptor, and subsequently it is retrogradely transported by coat protein I (COPI) vesicles to the ER. Lacking the HDEF tetrapeptide of BmCREC or knocking down COPI subunits results in decreased ER retention and simultaneously increased secretion of BmCREC. Furthermore, we find that BmCREC knockdown markedly disrupts the morphology of the ER and Golgi apparatus and leads to a defect of posterior silkgland tube expansion. Together, our results clarify the ER retention mechanism of BmCREC and reveal that BmCREC is indispensable for maintaining ER/Golgi morphology.
