Lab presentation
Our group is interested in unveiling the molecular mechanisms supporting endocytic traffic, with a particular focus on the characterization of actin scaffolds that transiently assemble at the plasma or endosomal membranes to aid budding and fission. We investigate the components of these endocytic actin scaffolds, the physico-chemical parameters that regulate their assembly and turn over, and their particular architecture and coupling to membranes. All these parameters define the geometry and the size of the membrane limited transport intermediates and coordinate membrane budding with cargo loading.
To this end, we mostly use S. cerevisiae as a model system, but we also extend our investigations to mammalian cells. By combining the powerful yeast genetics or the CRISPR CAS9 technology in mammalian cells, together with actin polymerization in vitro assays, live-cell fluorescence imaging of single endocytic events and sophisticated time-resolved ultrastructural analysis, we provide data to refine molecular models explaining membrane deformation, and we uncover mechanisms regulating actin dynamics.
Our research has led to the discovery of new functions or regulators of conserved proteins whose mutation in humans cause inherited renal, immunological and neurological diseases such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (myo IE, ORPHA93213), the Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome (N-WASP, ORPHA906), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (VAPs, ORPs, ORPHA209335), atypical juvenile parkinsonism (SNJ1, ORPHA:391411) or autosomal dominant non-syndromic intellectual disability (CKB1, ORPHA:178469). This information is key to understand their role in health and disease and has identified potential therapeutic targets to ameliorate the symptoms of individuals that bear mutations in these genes.
Projects
Research Lines:
- Molecular mechanisms of endocytic traffic:
Protein and membrane traffic throughout the endocytic pathway requires a core machinery effecting membrane budding, vesicle and organelle motility and membrane fusion, which is conserved from yeast to humans. We aim to identify the minimal set of evolutionary-conserved proteins required to support some of these events (with a particular focus in membrane budding), and to understand how their transient assembly is regulated to effect membrane deformation. IN the last years we have focus in understanding the interplay between the actin cytoskeleton components and different biologically active lipid species including sterols, phosphoinositides and ceramides. Further, we investigate the accessory endocytic proteins only expressed in higher eukaryotes, which adapt the endocytic core machinery to the more complex physiological functions in multicellular organisms.
Projects:
- Function and regulation of ER-endocytic contact sites and the mechanism of sterol-induced actin polymerization.
We previously demonstrated that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contacts the endocytic sites to facilitate actin polymerization and membrane invagination during endocytic uptake. We found that the molecular link between the cER and the endocytic sites is composed of the yeast homologs of the human VAP (VAMP Associated Proteins) A and B, Oxysterol binding protein Related Proteins (ORPs) and the endocytic type I myosins (Encinar del Dedo et al Dev. Cell (2017)). Our data indicate that the VAP/ORP/Myosin-I complex has the capacity to transfer sterols to the plasma membrane from spezialized ER subdomains where sterol synthesis and transport are physically coupled. We have baptized such subdomains as ERSES (ER Sterol Exit Sites) (Encinar del Dedo et al J Cell Biol (2021)). We also found that this coupled sterol synthesis and transfer activity is specifically required to concentrate and activate the type I myosins, which in turn initiate actin polymerization at endocytic sites. We are now in the process of characterizing the molecular link between the sterols and the recruitment and activation of actin nucleator promoting factors, which might involve the activation of the PI4P-5 kinase Mss4, the sterol-dependent activation of calcium channels, the recruitment of small GTPases and/or the formation of lipid nano-subdomains. We are also currently characterizing the components of the ERSES and defining its function and regulation.
- Transient assembly of macromomolecular complexes; regulation by phosphoinositides and CK2.
We previously found that the yeast synaptojanins, which hydrolyze the 4 and 5 phosphates of PIns(4,5)P2, cooperate with the promiscuous casein kinase 2 (CK2) to disassemble the actin scaffold induced by N-WASP and type I myosins at endocytic sites (Fernández-Golbano (2014) Dev Cell). Disassembly occurs in a very narrow time window, indicating that a mechanism coordinating the synaptojanin and CK2 activities might exist. Interestingly, we found that different phosphoinositides bind and inhibit CK2 in vitro, so that its activity towards endocytic proteins might only be triggered upon hydrolysis of PIns(4,5)P2 or PI4P by the synaptojanins. What is the physiological relevance of this regulatory crosstalk in vivo remained to be demonstrated. Using structural approaches in collaboration with the group of N. Verdaguer at the IBMB, we have identified the phosphoinosite binding site in CK2 and demonstrated its functional relevance in vivo. Further, a proteomic screen in collaboration with the group of S. Gygi at Harvard University has unveiled other cellular process regulated by the phosphoinositide/CK2 regulatory loop, including membrane budding from Golgi membranes, exocytosis or mechanosensing.
- A multivalent regulator of endosomal traffic in mammalian cells that regulates actin polymerization and tubulin-dependent transport.
We identified kazrin C as a human protein that inhibits clathrin-mediated endocytosis when overexpressed. We have generated kazrin knock out and GFP-kazrin C knock in mouse embryonic fibroblast to investigate its function in endocytic trafficking. We found that kazrin depletion causes a defect in traffic from early (EE) to recycling endosomes (RE). Cellular functions that require unaltered endocytic recycling, such as cell migration or cytokinetic abscission, are also affected in the knock out cells. Consistent with its function, endogenous kazrin is detected on EE and interacts with several components of these organelles, including Epsin Homology Domain proteins EHD1 and EHD3, gamma adaptin and phosphatidyl-inositol-3 phosphate. In vivo, we found that overexpression of GFP-kazrin C forms a condensate that entraps EE in the vicinity of the centromere, suggesting that kazrin is either an endosomal adaptor for dynein or it retains dynein cargo in the pericentriolar region. Further, we found that kazrin inhibits actin polymerization on EE membranes.The data thus suggest that kazrin is a multivalent regulator of endocytic recycling that promotes microtubule dependent traffic or retention of EE at the perinuclear region, while it downregulates endosomal actin polymerization. We are currently conducting experiments to define the actin nucleating promoting factors directly regulated by kazrin, and define its interaction with dynein and the dynactin complex.

Principal investigator
After her Ph. D. in plant cell biology, M. I. Geli moved to the laboratory of H. Riezman at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, where she contributed to identify several proteins involved in endocytosis, including the unconventional type I myosins (Geli and Riezman 1996 Science). In January 1999, M. I. Geli started her scientific career as an independent researcher at the Biochemie-Zentrum of the University of Heidelberg, where she established a research line to understand how the transient assembly of macromolecular complexes can drive deformation of cellular membranes. In 2003, she got a tenior position as Científico Titular of the CSIC at the Instituto de Biología Molecular de Barcelona, where she was promoted to Investigador Científico in 2009.
Along her carrier as principal investigator, M. I. Geli has made significant contributions to the field, which include the description of the molecular mechanisms regulating type I myosins and actin polymerization (Geli et al 1998 EMBO J, and Grötsch et al 2010 EMBO J); the development of time-resolved electron microscopy to study endocytic budding with unprecedented resolution (Idrissi et al 2008 J Cell Biol and Idrissi et al 2010 PNAS); the description a phosphoinositide/CK2 interplay (Fernandez-Golbano et al 2014 Dev. Cell.); the discovery and functional characterization of the ER endocytic contact sites (Encinar del Dedo et al., 2017 Dev Cell), and the identification of a new endoplasmic reticulum subdomain, the ERSES (ER Sterol Exit Sites), where synthesis an export of sterols are coordinated (Encinar del Dedo et al 2020 J Cell Biol). Since 2014, M. I. Geli is Deputy Director of the IBMB, and since 2020 she is member of the Editorial Board of eLife.
