OTULIN binding to SNX27 limits recycling of GLUT1 and SLC1A4 to the cell surface. a GLUT1 surface staining in mock, OTULIN WT and OTULIN ΔETSL transfected U2OS cells was performed using GLUT1.RBD.GFP reagent on living cells. GLUT1 surface expression was analyzed in untransfected (ΔCD2-low) and in transfected (ΔCD2-high) cells by FACS (left). Relative GLUT1 surface expression was determined as depicted in the histogram and changes in median fluorescence intensity (MFI) were normalized to mock. Graphs represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Two-tailed p-values: ns not significant, ***p ≤ 0.001 by unpaired t-test. b U2OS cells lentivirally transduced with GFP-SLC1A4 (green) together with RFP, RFP-OTULIN, or RFP-OTULIN ΔETSL (gray) were stained for endogenous LAMP1 (red) and analyzed for SLC1A4/LAMP1 co-localization by confocal microscopy. Scale bars: 10 µm. c Co-localization was quantified by determination of Pearson’s correlation analyzing at least 14 random pictures and imaging of more than 100 cells for each condition. Graphs depict the mean ± SD. Two-tailed p-values: ns not significant, ***p ≤ 0.001 by unpaired t-test. d Knock-down in U2OS cells after siRNA transfection was verified by WB. e GLUT1 surface staining in U2OS cells after siRNA transfection as indicates was performed using GLUT1.RBD.GFP reagent on living cells. GLUT1 surface expression was analyzed by FACS. f Changes in median fluorescence intensity (MFI) were normalized to siRNA control to calculate relative GLUT1 surface expression. Graphs represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Two-tailed p-values: ***p ≤ 0.001 by unpaired t-test. g Knock-down in HeLa cells after siRNA transfection was verified by WB. h HeLa cells transfected with siRNA as indicated and stained for endogenous GLUT1 (red) and the lysosomal marker LAMP1 (green). Co-localization of GLUT1 and LAMP1 was analyzed by confocal microscopy. Scale bars: 10 μm. i Co-localization was quantified by determination of Pearson’s correlation analyzing at least eight random pictures and imaging of more than 100 cells for each condition. Graphs depict the mean ± SD. Two-tailed p-values: ns not significant, ***p ≤ 0.001 by unpaired t-test. j Schematic model for the dual function of OTULIN. Through LUBAC binding and catalytic activity OTULIN controls Met1-ubiquitin chain homeostasis. By binding to SNX27 OTULIN counteracts cargo recruitment and retromer assembly to antagonize endosome-to-plasma membrane trafficking of internalized cargos.
