TANGO1 binds and exports Procollagen VII from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In this study, we report a connection between the cytoplasmic domain of TANGO1 and SLY1, a protein that is required for membrane fusion. Knockdown of SLY1 by siRNA arrested Procollagen VII in the ER without affecting the recruitment of COPII components, general protein secretion, and retrograde transport of the KDEL-containing protein BIP, and ERGIC53. SLY1 is known to interact with the ER-specific SNARE proteins Syntaxin 17 and 18, however only Syntaxin 18 was required for Procollagen VII export. Neither SLY1 nor Syntaxin 18 was required for the export of the equally bulky Procollagen I from the ER. Altogether, these findings reveal the sorting of bulky collagen family members by TANGO1 at the ER and highlight the existence of different export pathways for secretory cargoes one of which is mediated by the specific SNARE complex containing SLY1 and Syntaxin 18. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.02784.001 Collagens are long proteins that join individual cells together to build tissues and organs. They also provide strength and elasticity to bones, tendons, and blood vessels. Like many other proteins, collagens are produced inside cells: they are folded in a compartment called the endoplasmic reticulum, and then packaged and transported to another compartment called the Golgi. Collagens are then directed from the Golgi to their final destination, which is typically the outside of the cell. Small proteins travel from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi inside packages called vesicles. However it is not clear how large proteins like collagens are transported between these two compartments. It is known that a protein called TANGO1 is needed to direct a collagen called Procollagen VII to the outside of the cells. TANGO1 binds to Procollagen VII, and it is thought that TANGO1 delays the release of Procollagen VII from the endoplasmic reticulum, so that the vesicle can grow to a size that is able to accommodate such a bulky cargo. Nogueira, Erlmann et al. have now discovered that TANGO1 binds to another protein called SLY1, and that this protein must also be present if Procollagen VII is to be exported from the endoplasmic reticulum. In contrast, the transport of a different type of collagen—Collagen I—does not require TANGO1 or SLY1. SLY1 helps to fuse the membranes that enclose the structures involved in protein trafficking—such as the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi, and the vesicles—and this allows the cargoes of vesicles to pass from one compartment to another. Nogueira, Erlmann et al. also found that a second protein (called Syntaxin 18) is also required for the export of Procollagen VII. Nogueira, Erlmann et al. propose that collagen VII export involves TANGO1 delaying the release of collagen from the endoplasmic reticulum so that SLY1 and Syntaxin 18 can fuse other cellular membranes to the growing transport vesicle. Following this work, the next challenge is to uncover how different types of collagens are separated from each other, and identify which specific vesicles are involved in their export.
