This study investigates the hypothesis that trafficking of membrane proteins occurs at plasma membrane (PM) domains adjacent to underlying cortical endoplasmic reticulum (cER). The authors observe exocytosis of transferrin receptor and vesicular stomatitis virus G-protein to occur preferentially (>80%) at cER-enriched PM domains. They also report a preferential (>80%) localization of clathrin-coated pits at these domains. In mammalian cells, the cortical endoplasmic reticulum (cER) is a network of tubules and cisterns that lie in close apposition to the plasma membrane (PM). We provide evidence that PM domains enriched in underlying cER function as trafficking hubs for insertion and removal of PM proteins in HEK 293 cells. By simultaneously visualizing cER and various transmembrane protein cargoes with total internal reflectance fluorescence microscopy, we demonstrate that the majority of exocytotic delivery events for a recycled membrane protein or for a membrane protein being delivered to the PM for the first time occur at regions enriched in cER. Likewise, we observed recurring clathrin clusters and functional endocytosis of PM proteins preferentially at the cER-enriched regions. Thus the cER network serves to organize the molecular machinery for both insertion and removal of cell surface proteins, highlighting a novel role for these unique cellular microdomains in membrane trafficking.
