Mechanistic narrative

Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

ATL3 is a dynamin-like GTPase of the tubular endoplasmic reticulum that drives homotypic ER membrane fusion to build and maintain the polygonal ER network, and additionally functions as a selective ER-phagy receptor (PMID:30773365, PMID:27669642). Loss of all three atlastins abolishes the formation of three-way ER tubule junctions, a defect rescuable by any single atlastin or distant orthologs, establishing ATL3 within a redundant machinery essential for the polygonal ER (PMID:27669642); crystallographic and biochemical analysis defines its catalytic cycle of nucleotide binding, dimerization, hydrolysis, and Mg2+ displacement to reset the enzyme, and an isoform-specific N-terminal hypervariable region subject to phospho-regulation (PMID:28602821, PMID:34546351). Its fusion activity is restrained downstream by Lunapark, which localizes to junctions in an ATL-dependent manner and inhibits further ATL-mediated fusion in vitro (PMID:30498943). As an ER-phagy receptor, ATL3 selectively binds GABARAP-subfamily Atg8 proteins (but not LC3) through two GABARAP-interaction motifs to target tubular ER for starvation-induced lysosomal degradation, with UVRAG promoting cargo-receptor oligomerization and Atg8 recruitment at ER-phagy sites (PMID:30773365, PMID:37902287); ATL3 acts in parallel with RTN3L to clear misfolded, aggregation-prone substrates and to sequester misassembled FG-nucleoporins as a form of ER quality control (PMID:38818751, PMID:40079246), and partners with RTN3L to form ER tubular bodies that mediate Golgi-independent unconventional secretion of transmembrane cargo (PMID:39919755). The HSAN I mutations Y192C and P338R abolish GABARAP binding and ER-phagy, mislocalize ATL3 from junctions, disrupt tubular ER and Golgi morphology, increase ER-mitochondria contacts, and impair axonal growth and mitochondrial transport, linking defective ER dynamics and ER-phagy to peripheral neuropathy (PMID:30773365, PMID:30680846, PMID:24459106, PMID:30666337, PMID:30339187). ATL3 is exploited by multiple pathogens: it is recruited to Zika virus replication complexes via NS2A/NS2B3 and to SV40 entry foci, supports Legionella-containing vacuole expansion through GTP-dependent membrane remodeling, and is sequestered by coronavirus ORF8/p62 condensates to suppress ER-phagy and promote viral double-membrane vesicle formation (PMID:31534046, PMID:28835546, PMID:36952345, PMID:37578227).

2025 ATL3, together with RTN3L, shapes an ER tubulovesicular structure called the ER tubular body (ER-TB) under cellular stress. ER-TB formation mediates Golgi-independent unconventional protein secretion (UPS) of transmembrane proteins such as ΔF508-CFTR and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
