Abstract

The ER is the organelle of nucleated cells that produces lipids, sugars, and proteins. More than 20 ER-resident members of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family regulate formation, isomerization, and disassembly of covalent bonds in newly synthesized polypeptides. The PDI family includes few membrane-bound members. Among these, TMX1, TMX2, TMX3, TMX4, and TMX5 belong to the thioredoxin-related transmembrane (TMX) protein family. TMX5 is the least-known member of the family. Here, we establish that TMX5 covalently engages via its active site cysteine residue at position 220 a subset of secretory proteins, mainly single- and multipass Golgi-resident polypeptides. TMX5 also interacts non-covalently, and covalently, via non-catalytic cysteine residues, with the PDI family members PDI, ERp57, and ERp44. The association between TMX5 and ERp44 requires formation of a mixed disulfide between the catalytic cysteine residue 29 of ERp44 and the non-catalytic cysteine residues 114 and/or 124 of TMX5 and controls the ER localization of TMX5 in pre-Golgi compartments. Thus, TMX5 belongs to the family of proteins including Ero1α, Ero1β, Prx4, ERAP1, and SUMF1 that operate in pre-Golgi compartments but lack localization sequences required to position themselves and rely on ERp44 engagement for proper intercompartmental distribution.
