During the upcoming granting period, we will pursue the two research axes of the 2014 proposal, namely 1) study of the physiological and pathological roles of anthrax toxin receptors, and 2) seek a better understanding of S-palmitoylation in the context of anthrax toxin receptors but also more generally.Anthrax toxin receptors. We will finalize and validate our screens on exosome biogenesis and uptake using anthrax toxin as a tool (not further described here) and pursue our studies on the molecular requirements of anthrax toxin signaling and trafficking. We will also launch a new research avenue that builds on our recent finding that the anthrax toxin receptor, CMG2, is a receptor for Collagen VI. We will investigate the role of CMG2 in fat metabolism and in muscle regeneration, since collagen VI has been shown to play an important role in these processes.S-palmitoylation. CMG2 undergoes palmitoylation. Preliminary experiments indicate that this is important for CMG2 folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, residence time at the cell surface and signaling capacity. We will investigate these processes in detail, study the dynamics of palmitoylation-depalmitoylation and examine how these processes are regulated. To do so, as successfully done in the past, we will combine a vast panel of approaches including in vitro structural and enzymatic analyses, cell-based functional and morphological assays, animal experimentation and mathematical modeling.
