Crystal structure of the 130-amino acid N-terminal (longin) domain of mouse Sec22b was solved at 2.4 Å resolution, revealing a mixed α/β fold resembling a circular permutation of profilin and GAF/PAS modules. This domain is structurally distinct from syntaxin 1A's N-terminal domain and, unlike syntaxin 1A, does not affect the rate of SNARE assembly in vitro. |

Endogenous Sec22b/ERS-24 localizes to the pre-Golgi intermediate compartment (IC), and antibodies against Sec22b inhibit ER-to-Golgi transport of VSVG prior to the EGTA-sensitive docking/fusion step, causing VSVG accumulation in pre-Golgi vesicular intermediates. |

Sec22b localizes on ER-derived vesicles that are recruited to the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV); Sec22b is delivered to the LCV membrane and is functionally required for biogenesis of the replicative organelle supporting Legionella intracellular growth. Rab1 recruits ER-derived vesicles to the LCV upstream of Sec22b-dependent fusion. |

Sec22b (R-SNARE) associates with ER-localized syntaxin 18 (Qa-SNARE), and this binary interaction induces increased α-helicity in both SNARE motifs, creating high-affinity binding sites for BNIP1 (Qb) and p31/Use1 (Qc), thereby driving sequential Q-SNARE assembly. This R-SNARE-dependent Q-SNARE assembly mechanism is distinct from that of non-ER SNAREs. |

Overexpression of Sec22b in J774 macrophages nearly abolishes phagocytosis without affecting Fc receptor surface expression, whereas suppression of endogenous Sec22b increases phagocytic capacity. Domain analysis shows the R-SNARE motif (responsible for SNARE complex formation with syntaxin 18 and/or D12) mediates this inhibition, identifying Sec22b as a negative regulator of phagocytosis likely by titrating free syntaxin 18/D12. |

During virulent L. pneumophila infection, Sec22b (ER v-SNARE) undergoes non-canonical pairing with plasma membrane syntaxins (Stx2, Stx3, Stx4) and SNAP23 on the LCV. Depletion of plasma membrane syntaxins delays calnexin acquisition and retains Rab1 on phagosomes. Addition of α-SNAP and NSF dissociates these non-canonical SNARE complexes, demonstrating they are functional. |

Sec22b localizes to the ERGIC and pairs with plasma membrane SNARE syntaxin 4 present on phagosomes. Depletion of Sec22b in dendritic cells inhibits recruitment of ER-resident proteins to phagosomes (and to T. gondii-containing vacuoles), impairs antigen export to the cytosol, accelerates lysosomal recruitment, and blocks MHC class I cross-presentation after phagocytosis or endocytosis of antigen. |

A separate DC-specific Sec22b knockout mouse (CD11c-Cre Sec22b fl/fl) shows that SEC22B-deficient DCs can efficiently cross-present antigen both in vivo and in vitro. shRNA-mediated Sec22b silencing reduces cross-presentation even in SEC22B-knockout BMDCs, indicating the shRNA effect is due to off-target activity rather than Sec22b loss. |

SEC22B interacts with NBEAL2 (gray platelet syndrome protein) via a region spanning NBEAL2 amino acids 1798–1903; GPS-associated missense variants E1833K and R1839C in NBEAL2 abolish this interaction. NBEAL2 can simultaneously bind SEC22B and P-selectin. CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of SEC22B in imMKCL cells decreases NBEAL2 protein and blocks α-granule biogenesis, demonstrating SEC22B is required for megakaryocyte α-granule production. |

Sec22b interacts with members of the extended synaptotagmin (E-Syt) family via the longin domain of Sec22b, stabilizing Sec22b–syntaxin 1 (Stx1) non-fusogenic SNARE complexes at ER-PM contacts. Overexpression of wild-type E-Syt2 (but not lipid-transfer-deficient or ER-anchoring-deficient mutants) increases axonal filopodia formation and neurite ramification; this effect is blocked by clostridial neurotoxin cleaving Stx1, longin domain expression, or a Sec22b mutant with an extended SNARE-TM linker. |

Sec22b co-localizes with inducible NO synthase (iNOS) at ERGIC/Golgi compartments and phagosomes. siRNA silencing of Sec22b in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells abrogates NO and cytokine production at both protein and mRNA levels and reduces nuclear translocation of NF-κB. Sec22b was found to co-occur with NF-κB in both cytoplasm and nucleus, implicating Sec22b in NF-κB shuttling. |

In liver cancer cells, cytosolic proteins associate with E-Syt1 on the ER, then localize inside SEC22B+ vesicles. SEC22B on these vesicles tethers to the plasma membrane via Q-SNAREs (SNAP23, SNX3, SNX4) for secretion of cytosolic cargo, identifying SEC22B as a mediator of unconventional cytosolic protein secretion at ER-PM contact sites. |

Sec22b tethers ER-phagosome membrane contact sites (MCS) independently of STIM1. Sec22b knockdown increases phagosomal calcium signaling, accelerates phagolysosome fusion and antigen degradation, and alters phagosomal phospholipids (PI(3)P, PS, PI(4)P). Sec22b co-precipitates with the PS/PI(4)P exchange protein ORP8; wild-type but not catalytic-mutant ORP8 rescues phagosomal PI(4)P levels and reduces antigen degradation. The MCS-disrupting Sec22b-P33 mutant fails to rescue, identifying tethering as the mechanistic basis. |

The L. pneumophila effector SdeA catalyzes conjugation of phosphoribosyl-linked ubiquitin specifically to serine 137 of Sec22b; subsequently the canonical ubiquitin system adds polyubiquitin chains. This multimodal ubiquitination of Sec22b facilitates non-canonical SNARE pairing (Sec22b with Stx3) during early infection. The Legionella deubiquitinase LotB cleaves the polyubiquitin chains from Sec22b, causing Sec22b dissociation from syntaxin 3. |
