Mechanistic narrative

Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

EXOC5/Sec10 is a structural subunit of the heterooctameric exocyst complex that drives polarized exocytosis by tethering post-Golgi secretory vesicles for docking at the plasma membrane (PMID:9119050, PMID:9658167). It is a bifunctional scaffold: its N-terminal two-thirds directly binds the exocyst subunit Sec15p to maintain complex integrity and support exocytosis, while its C-terminal helical-rod domain — visualized as tandem antiparallel helix bundles by crystallography — is separately required for morphogenesis (PMID:9658167, PMID:28098232). Through this exocyst-tethering activity EXOC5 governs primary ciliogenesis in renal epithelia, mediating ciliary delivery of polycystin-2 (PKD2), IFT88, and IFT20, with loss of EXOC5 abolishing axoneme extension, flow-induced calcium signaling, and normal cyst morphogenesis (PMID:19297529, PMID:21490950). EXOC5-dependent trafficking is required for apical and basolateral cargo delivery across epithelia, including uroplakin-3 deposition for urothelial barrier formation and CIE-cargo recycling through endosomal tubular networks coordinated with RAB-10 (PMID:25301900, PMID:26046524). EXOC5 supports cell survival and tissue maintenance in cochlear hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons, retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors, and developing oocytes, and modulates cell migration through DGKγ and formin1 (PMID:29327200, PMID:34064901, PMID:39037927, PMID:29326040). Beyond secretion, EXOC5 is a negative regulator of antiviral type-I interferon signaling: it promotes STUB1-mediated K6-linked polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of STAT1, TRIM56-mediated K63-linked polyubiquitination and SQSTM1/p62-dependent autophagic degradation of STING1, and transcriptional suppression of RIG-I and JAK1 (PMID:40920886, PMID:41968661, PMID:41079927, PMID:41903488). In the kidney, EXOC5 also restrains YAP signaling and TGF-β-driven epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and fibrosis (PMID:41781492).

1997 Human Sec10p (hSec10p) was identified as a 77-kDa protein component of the mammalian exocyst complex, with broad tissue distribution. Co-transfection of hSec10p and mammalian Sec8p in COS cells demonstrated identical subcellular distribution including peripheral cytoplasmic localization, establishing hSec10p as a mammalian exocyst subunit involved in post-Golgi traffic. Cloning, Northern/Western blot, immunofluorescence co-localization in co-transfected COS cells FEBS letters Medium 9119050
1998 Yeast Sec10p has two functional domains: the N-terminal two-thirds directly interacts with exocyst component Sec15p, and overexpression of this domain displaces full-length Sec10 from the exocyst complex, causing a block in exocytosis and accumulation of secretory vesicles. The C-terminal domain does not interact with other exocyst members and does not cause a secretory defect, but instead is required for morphogenesis (cell elongation), suggesting Sec10p has bifunctional roles in exocytosis and morphogenesis. Dominant-negative mutagenesis, biochemical fractionation, phenotypic analysis in S. cerevisiae Molecular biology of the cell High 9658167
2002 Drosophila Sec10 (dSec10) is essential for endocrine (steroid hormone) secretion in the ring gland. Tissue-specific RNAi knockdown showed no essential requirement in nervous system, musculature, gut, or epidermis, and no defects in neuromuscular synapse morphogenesis or neurotransmission. Developmental arrest from dSec10 RNAi was partially rescued by feeding ecdysone, demonstrating a specific role in steroid hormone secretion rather than general exocytosis.

2009 Exocyst protein Sec10 regulates primary ciliogenesis in MDCK renal epithelial cells. shRNA knockdown of Sec10 results in primary cilia containing only basal bodies (no axoneme extension), while Sec10 overexpression increases ciliogenesis. Sec10 knockdown also prevents normal cyst morphogenesis in collagen matrix. Par3 co-localizes with and co-immunoprecipitates with the exocyst, consistent with a role in targeting vesicles for ciliogenesis. Rescue with shRNA-resistant human Sec10 confirmed specificity. shRNA knockdown, stable overexpression, immunofluorescence, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, co-immunoprecipitation, collagen matrix cystogenesis assay Molecular biology of the cell High 19297529
2011 Sec10 biochemically interacts with ciliary proteins polycystin-2 (PKD2), IFT88, and IFT20 by co-immunoprecipitation, and co-localizes with polycystin-2 at the primary cilium. Sec10 knockdown in MDCK cells causes loss of flow-generated calcium increases, hyperproliferation, and abnormal MAPK activation. In zebrafish, sec10 morpholino knockdown phenocopies pkd2 knockdown (curly tail, left-right patterning defects, glomerular expansion), and sec10/pkd2 double knockdown shows synergistic genetic interaction, supporting a model where the exocyst is required for ciliary localization of polycystin-2. Co-immunoprecipitation, co-localization by immunofluorescence, zebrafish morpholino knockdown, genetic epistasis (synergistic interaction), calcium imaging, MAPK activity assay PLoS genetics High 21490950
2012 Sec10 biochemically interacts with the translocon subunit Sec61β (by GST pulldown), and is preferentially recruited to ER membranes during basolateral (not apical) protein synthesis. In cell-free translation/translocation assays, exocyst depletion enhanced recruitment to ER membranes during basolateral G protein of VSV translation compared to apical hemagglutinin translation. Sec10 overexpression increases Sec61β phosphorylation, suggesting a regulatory role in basolateral protein translocation at the rough ER.

2014 Sec10 (exocyst) biochemically interacts with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) by co-immunoprecipitation. Sec10-overexpressing cells show greater phospho-ERK levels in response to EGF, increased EGFR endocytosis, and are protected from cell injury. Gefitinib (EGFR inhibitor) and Dynasore (dynamin inhibitor) both reduce EGFR endocytosis; inhibition of MAPK reduces EGFR endocytosis, suggesting a feedback loop. Gefitinib reverses the protective effect of Sec10 overexpression, causally linking the Sec10-EGFR-endocytosis-MAPK axis to cellular protection.

2014 In C. elegans intestine, SEC-10 (exocyst subunit) is required for formation of endosomal tubular networks needed for basolateral recycling of clathrin-independent endocytic (CIE) cargoes (hTAC, GLUT1, DAF-4). Depletion of SEC-10 or other exocyst subunits converts tubular endosomes to ring-like structures. Epistasis analysis placed SEC-10 at an intermediate step between early endosomes and recycling endosomes. SEC-10 coordinates with RAB-10 and microtubules to maintain the endosomal tubular network.

2015 Sec10 is required for urothelial barrier integrity during development. Conditional knockout of Sec10 in ureteric bud-derived cells (Ksp1.3-Cre) caused decreased uroplakin-3 at the luminal apical surface (by E16.5) and complete absence by E17.5, followed by urothelial degeneration and ureteropelvic junction obstruction. This demonstrates that Sec10-mediated exocytosis is required for apical delivery of uroplakin proteins to establish the urothelial barrier.

2015 Sec10 and Cdc42 act in the same genetic pathway during retinal development in zebrafish. Sec10 morpholino knockdown causes loss of outer nuclear layer and irregular RPE, with an intracellular melanosome transport defect (retrograde). Sub-optimal co-injection of sec10 and cdc42 morpholinos produced synergistic phenotypes, establishing genetic interaction. Sec10 is required for outer segment development of photoreceptors, likely by trafficking proteins necessary for ciliogenesis.

2015 Sec10 knockdown in MDCK cells causes increased basal apoptotic cell extrusion, increased sensitivity to apoptotic triggers, and altered mitotic spindle angles (planar cell polarity defect) during 3D cystogenesis in collagen, without disrupting apico-basal polarity. These phenotypes were rescued by shRNA-resistant human Sec10. Kidney-specific Sec10 KO mice also showed defects in primary cilia assembly and abnormal epithelial cell extrusion in renal tubules. shRNA knockdown, genetic rescue, 3D collagen culture cystogenesis, apoptosis assay, mitotic spindle angle measurement, conditional KO mouse histology American journal of physiology.

2017 Crystal structure of near-full-length zebrafish Sec10 was solved at 2.73 Å resolution. The structure consists of tandem antiparallel helix bundles forming a straight rod, consistent with helical core regions of other exocyst subunits, providing the first atomic-level structural details of Sec10.

2018 In the moss Physcomitrella patens, For1F encodes a fusion protein of Sec10 (exocyst subunit) and formin (actin nucleation factor). Reduction of For1F or actin filaments inhibits exocytosis. For1F dynamically associates with Sec6 (another exocyst subunit) in an actin-dependent manner. Complementation experiments showed either half alone can rescue loss of For1F, indicating the fusion is not essential but actin filaments are required for exocyst-mediated exocytosis.

2018 Conditional deletion of Exoc5 (EXOC5) in cochlear hair cells (Gfi1Cre) or otic epithelium (rAAV-iCre) results in apoptosis of hair cells with stereociliary bundle disorganization and apoptotic degeneration of spiral ganglion neurons, demonstrating that Exoc5 is required for survival and maintenance of cochlear hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons.

2018 Sec10 overexpression in MDCK cells inhibits wound healing and ruffle formation, while Sec10 knockdown accelerates both. Sec10-overexpressing cells have higher amounts of diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) gamma at the leading edge, and a DGK inhibitor reverses the inhibition of wound healing and ruffle formation in Sec10-overexpressing cells. This establishes a Sec10-DGKγ regulatory axis in cell migration.

2021 Conditional loss of Exoc5 in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of mice causes progressive retinal thinning, abnormal RPE pigmentation, reduced RPE65 levels, reduced c-wave amplitude (dysfunctional RPE), and loss of visual pigments. Exoc5-/- zebrafish show smaller eyes with decreased RPE melanocytes and shorter photoreceptor outer segments with loss of rod and cone opsins, indicating exocyst-mediated trafficking in RPE is required for RPE structure and photoreceptor maintenance.

2024 Oocyte-specific deletion of Exoc5 (Zp3-Exoc5-cKO) causes female infertility. The first follicular wave proceeds to the antral stage but produces developmentally incompetent oocytes (failed IVF). Subsequent adult follicular waves do not progress beyond the secondary follicle stage and undergo apoptosis, demonstrating that EXOC5 is required for folliculogenesis and oocyte developmental competence.

2025 Sec10 negatively regulates antiviral JAK-STAT signaling by interacting with E3 ubiquitin ligase STUB1, promoting STUB1-STAT1 interaction, and accelerating STUB1-mediated proteasomal degradation of STAT1 via K6-linked polyubiquitination at Lys240 and Lys652.

2025 Sec10 negatively regulates antiviral innate immunity by suppressing RIG-I transcription through inactivation of the NRF2-ATF4 axis. ATF4 binds the RIG-I promoter to promote transcription; NRF2 upregulates ATF4; Sec10 triggers inactivation of NRF2-ATF4 during RNA viral infection, thereby restraining RIG-I expression and IFN-I response.

2026 EXOC5 facilitates autophagic degradation of STING1 via K63-linked polyubiquitination at Lys224 and Lys338 by E3 ligase TRIM56, which acts as a recognition signal for cargo receptor SQSTM1/p62, thereby attenuating cGAS-STING1-mediated antiviral IFN-I signaling and promoting DNA virus replication.

2026 Myeloid-specific Exoc5 deficiency in macrophages reduces exosome release, leading to intracellular accumulation of formin1. This enhances macrophage migration in an actin- and formin1-dependent manner (reversed by actin disruptor and formin1 inhibitor but not Rac1 inhibitor). Enhanced macrophage migration into the kidney causes inflammation and hypertension.

2026 SEC10 suppresses JAK1 transcription in a KLF15-dependent manner during BoHV-1 infection. SEC10 downregulates the transcription factor KLF15, which normally promotes JAK1 transcription, thereby establishing a SEC10-KLF15-JAK1 regulatory axis that dampens JAK-STAT-mediated antiviral IFN-I immunity and promotes BoHV-1 replication. siRNA knockdown, transcriptional reporter assays, co-immunoprecipitation, promoter analysis, viral replication assay Veterinary microbiology Medium 41903488
2026 Exoc5 deficiency in kidney proximal tubule cells increases YAP expression and YAP target genes (CTGF, CYR61), and exacerbates TGF-β-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and fibrosis following ureteral obstruction. In HK-2 cells, siRNA knockdown of EXOC5 increased both YAP and Pax2 expression, linking Exoc5 to regulation of YAP signaling and tubular cell differentiation.
