NACHO Engages N-Glycosylation ER Chaperone Pathways for α7 Nicotinic Receptor Assembly

Summary: The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor participates in diverse aspects of brain physiology and disease. Neurons tightly control α7 assembly, which relies upon NACHO, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized integral membrane protein. By constructing α7 chimeras and mutants, we find that NAC...

description Summary: The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor participates in diverse aspects of brain physiology and disease. Neurons tightly control α7 assembly, which relies upon NACHO, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized integral membrane protein. By constructing α7 chimeras and mutants, we find that NACHO requires the α7 ectodomain to promote receptor assembly and surface trafficking. Also critical are two amino acids in the α7 second transmembrane domain. NACHO-mediated assembly is independent and separable from that induced by cholinergic ligands or RIC-3 protein, the latter of which acts on the large α7 intracellular loop. Proteomics indicates that NACHO associates with the ER oligosaccharyltransferase machinery and with calnexin. Accordingly, NACHO-mediated effects on α7 assembly and channel function require N-glycosylation and calnexin chaperone activity. These studies identify ER pathways that mediate α7 assembly by NACHO and provide insights into novel pharmacological strategies for these crucial nicotinic receptors.
