Gene Description

ERLIN1 (SPFH1) is a 348-amino-acid, single-pass endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein with a lumenal SPFH domain. It forms an oligomeric complex with ERLIN2 that organizes membrane-associated protein interactions and contributes to selective ER protein turnover. The complex participates in recruitment of the ubiquitin ligase RNF170 to activated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors and supports degradation of selected misfolded ER substrates; ERLIN1 itself is not the ubiquitin-transfer enzyme. ERLIN1 also binds cholesterol. Erlin-dependent sterol handling restrains SREBP activation and lipid biosynthetic gene expression, while ERLIN1/ERLIN2 loss increases cholesterol esterification. How cholesterol binding couples to these responses remains unresolved: effects on Insig-dependent regulation and on sterol accessibility to SOAT1 are distinct mechanistic possibilities. Biallelic ERLIN1 variants cause hereditary spastic paraplegia type 62; some variants alter RNA splicing, whereas their effects on protein assembly require separate experimental assessment.

Summary: ER-membrane localization has valid ancestral placement and target evidence.
Reason: The current PTHR15351 tree places human O75477 leaf PTN002495870 below PTN000794169, where the actual IBD asserts GO:0005789. Its ungapped MSA is exactly the displayed 348-residue sequence, and no target-path NOT is present. Human ERLIN1/ERLIN2 and worm erl-1 are legitimate experimental descendants; target self-WITH is not circular. The actual PMID:19240031 membrane/topology Results and human Reactome entity 8866518 independently agree, with rodent topology experiments, mouse constructs in HeLa and endogenous HeLa glycosylation distinguished in the reference assessment. This preserves localization without transferring the distinct catalytic activities of neighboring ERAD proteins.

GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Cholesterol binding is directly measured for human ERLIN1 and correctly propagated.
Reason: The actual GO:0015485 IBD is at PTN002692334 within the ERLIN1 clade; human O75477 is its experimental descendant and the target lies below that node with an exact 348-residue MSA. The self-donor is legitimate grounding. Independently inspected PMID:24217618 Results Figure 4B and Methods Erlin purification and lipid binding assay test recombinant human erlin-1 carrying C-terminal V5/His tags, expressed in Schneider S2 cells and purified by metal-affinity and anti-V5 capture. Radiolabeled cholesterol saturation and competition, with matched control beads, support specific sterol binding. The native mouse liver erlin complex in Figure 4C is a separate preparation, not substituted for the human experiment. Exact untagged sequence equivalence was not reconstructed from the article.

Summary: The SREBP pathway assertion has valid PAINT placement and direct human support.
Reason: The actual GO:0032933 IBD occurs at PTN001282580 on the verified O75477 ancestral path, with ERLIN1 and ERLIN2 experimental descendants. No target-path NOT or target sequence mismatch is present. PMID:24217618 Results Figures 1–3 and operative Methods separately perturb ERLIN1 and ERLIN2 in human cells under cholesterol sufficiency. ERLIN1 depletion increases SREBP target transcripts, SREBP2 cleavage/nuclear accumulation and lipid endpoints; fatostatin suppresses the induced target-gene response. Endogenous erlin-containing complexes associate with the SREBP/SCAP/INSIG machinery, although whether each association is direct remains unresolved. These observations establish participation in controlling the SREBP pathway, not SREBP protease or transcription-factor activity by ERLIN1.

Summary: The Erlin1/2 family location mapping is correct but can be narrowed to ER membrane.
Reason: The actual InterPro target record matches IPR033294 across O75477 residues 2–317 and the family entry explicitly maps to GO:0005783. This is a specific erlin family, not a transfer from every SPFH-domain protein. The independently read PMID:19240031 Results, Molecular Properties of SPFH1 and SPFH2 (Figure 2 discussion), reports ER-marker colocalization, detergent-dependent solubilization of microsome-associated SPFH1 and protection of most of its mass from protease until detergent permeabilization. These support membrane attachment rather than merely residence somewhere in the ER. Separately recovered Plasmids Methods and selected captions identify mouse SPFH1 BC011220 and mouse SPFH2 constructs, including experiments in HeLa hosts. Figure 2A colocalization is in Rat-1, Figure 2B microsomal extraction in alphaT3-1, and Figure 2D separately assays endogenous HeLa SPFH1 glycosylation and tagged mouse constructs; the recovered caption does not establish the Figure 2C cell context. Human HPA and participant evidence support the conserved target location without relabeling rodent experiments as human. Current human Reactome entity 8866518 independently identifies O75477 residues 1–348 with its own ER-membrane compartment.

The rule match establishes provenance; the experimentally supported erlin membrane topology in PMID:19240031 (rodent assays and mouse constructs distinguished from endogenous HeLa glycosylation) and explicit human ERLIN1 participant compartment in Reactome supply the independent biological support.

Summary: ERLIN1 association with ubiquitin ligases supports the specific binding annotation.
Reason: IPR033294 is an actual O75477 family match and its current GO mapping includes ubiquitin protein ligase binding. Independent PMID:21343306 Experimental Procedures, Expression Plasmids, and Results Figure 2 explicitly test human SPFH1-T7 in CHO-7 cells: anti-T7 precipitation recovers gp78/AMFR and Hrd1/SYVN1, whereas Trc8 is not recovered in that comparison. This supports association with E3 ligases under the stated cellular-complex conditions without requiring or claiming purified binary binding. It does not give ERLIN1 E3 catalytic activity or transfer the paper’s SPFH2-specific HMG-CoA reductase degradation result to ERLIN1.

Summary: The assembled ERLIN1/ERLIN2 complex permits a more informative ER-complex term.
Reason: ARBA00028902 condition set 381 matches the target FunFam, but protein-containing complex is unnecessarily broad. Current human Reactome complex 8866522 explicitly contains O75477 ERLIN1 and ERLIN2 at the ER membrane. Independently read PMID:19240031 Results describe reciprocal complex isolation, native electrophoresis and association of the two proteins, with alphaT3-1 and Rat-1 contexts distinct from tagged coassembly in HeLa. The separately recovered Plasmids Methods explicitly identify mouse SPFH1 BC011220 and mouse SPFH2 constructs; a human host does not make those recombinant proteins human. Current human participant membership corroborates conservation, without an exact modern stoichiometry claim. GO:0140534 describes a protein complex that is part of the ER and is a current descendant of GO:0032991. It captures the established assembly without implying that ERLIN1 itself is a ubiquitin ligase.

Summary: The current electronic ERAD rule agrees with the experimentally supported assembly role.
Reason: ARBA00029018 condition set 18 requires FunFam 3.30.479.30:FF:000009 and Catarrhini; both match human O75477. PMID:19240031 Results show SPFH1/2 association with activated IP3 receptors before substantial polyubiquitination, loss of receptor polyubiquitination/degradation after Rat-1 SPFH1 depletion and rescue by reintroduction, with preserved calcium mobilization. This supports a substrate-recognition/processing assembly role in ERAD rather than merely a downstream disease phenotype. The recovered Plasmids and retroviral-expression Methods identify mouse SPFH1 and SPFH2 cDNAs; the Rat-1 depletion/rescue and alphaT3-1 native-complex experiments are rodent evidence for the conserved assembly role, not direct human ERAD perturbations. HeLa tagged-coassembly experiments also use mouse constructs. SPFH2-specific effects are not reassigned to ERLIN1. Complete Methods, figure pixels and supplements were not inspected.

Summary: ERLIN1 restrains cholesterol production through the SREBP regulatory machinery.
Reason: ARBA00085017 condition set 0 matches the target erlin FunFam and Chordata. Independently, PMID:24217618 Results Figures 1B/1D and 2, with Methods q-RT-PCR, Cellular lipid determination and Proteolytic SREBP-2 activation assay, show that individual ERLIN1 depletion under cholesterol sufficiency increases HMGR/HMGS transcripts, cholesterol content and canonical SREBP2 activation. Fatostatin sensitivity and erlin association with the regulatory machinery support a negative regulatory role rather than direct cholesterol synthesis by ERLIN1. Lipid content and transcriptional endpoints are not a direct isotope-flux measurement, and the separate SPFH2-specific HMGCR degradation experiment is not used as ERLIN1 evidence.

Summary: ERLIN1-dependent restraint of the SREBP lipogenic program supports negative regulation of fatty-acid biosynthesis.
Reason: ARBA00084177 condition set 1 matches the erlin FunFam and Chordata. PMID:24217618 Results Figure 1B/1D explicitly measure increased FASN and ACC1 transcripts after individual ERLIN1 depletion and increased free-fatty-acid content, with unchanged triglyceride content. Figures 2–3 support canonical SREBP regulation and association with the SREBP/SCAP/INSIG machinery; Methods identify human-cell siRNAs, q-RT-PCR and enzymatic lipid-content assays. This is positive evidence for regulation of the lipogenic program, not fatty-acid synthase activity by ERLIN1. It does not establish a direct synthesis-flux rate or every fatty-acid class.

The original Online Experimental Methods describe sequence-validated human ORFeome baits with a C-terminal HA-FLAG tag, anti-HA purification from HEK293T lysates and CompPASS-Plus filtering. This is an affinity association that can include an indirect co-complex interaction. Protein identifiers were collapsed to Entrez gene IDs during analysis, limiting product-specific inference.

The actual original Experimental Procedures describe digitonin/dounce-prepared U2OS nuclei, DSSO cross-linking before detergent fractionation, and cross-link identification controlled at 1% FDR. Results for Figure 1 explicitly note that the isolated nuclei retain connected endoplasmic reticulum and other co-isolated material. The supplementary peptide workbooks were not recovered, so exact cross-linked residues and peptide assignment have not been independently inspected. The positive curated pair record supports non-core protein binding; this preparation does not establish a physiological nuclear function or oligomer stoichiometry.

Summary: ER localization is supported; the combined evidence specifies the ER membrane.
Reason: Current HPA ERLIN1 ICC/IF reports ER signal with HPA011252 in A-431, U-251MG, U2OS and KOLF2.1J. The complete antigen exactly matches O75477 residues 254–344; no complete identical antigen occurs in ERLIN2, although this sequence check is not an experimental cross-reactivity test. HPA alone does not resolve membrane topology. The independently read PMID:19240031 Results, Molecular Properties of SPFH1 and SPFH2 (Figure 2 discussion), reports ER-marker colocalization, detergent-dependent solubilization of microsome-associated SPFH1 and protection of most of its mass from protease until detergent permeabilization.

Summary: ERLIN1 contributes to substrate-selective ER-associated degradation.
Reason: PMID:19240031 tests SPFH1 depletion during stimulated IP3-receptor ubiquitination and turnover in rodent cells, with calcium-response controls and mouse-construct rescue; the two erlins are not functionally interchangeable. Independent PMID:19751772 directly tests endogenous ERLIN1 depletion in muscarinic-receptor-expressing human HeLa cells: IP3-receptor ubiquitination and degradation are inhibited while the measured calcium response and IΞΊBΞ± degradation remain intact. Its tagged rescue is mouse SPFH2, not a human ERLIN1 rescue. These experiments support ERLIN1 participation in substrate handling before degradation, without claiming a universal requirement for all ERAD substrates or assigning E3 ligase chemistry.

Summary: ERLIN1 occupies cholesterol-dependent internal membrane microdomains.
Reason: The PMID:34572057 review describes erlin-associated ER microdomains. Independent original PMID:16835267 separates buoyant detergent-resistant internal membranes and shows cholesterol sensitivity after hypotonic membrane disruption; whole-cell cyclodextrin treatment has a different effect. Together with direct ER localization this supports an operational internal membrane-raft assignment. The preparation does not imply plasma-membrane localization, a fixed nanoscale domain geometry or an exact stoichiometric complex. This operational fractionation-defined membrane domain is retained as a supported non-core location; the primary functional location is the ER membrane.

Summary: ERLIN1 restrains cholesterol biosynthesis through SREBP regulation.
Reason: PMID:24217618 connects ERLIN1 depletion in human HeLa cells to increased cholesterol abundance and increased expression of cholesterol-biosynthesis genes, with SREBP processing and SCAP inhibition supporting the regulatory route. The direction is inhibitory in the tested sterol-replete setting, so refine the broad regulation term to negative regulation of cholesterol biosynthetic process. The study measures transcript and lipid endpoints rather than a direct synthesis-flux assay; ERLIN1 is not assigned catalytic cholesterol-biosynthesis chemistry.

Summary: ERLIN1 is recovered in an ADRA1D-associated protein preparation.
Reason: Actual PMID:18468998 Table 3 lists ERLIN1 in tandem-affinity-purified ADRA1D material from HEK293 cells, with four peptides and 16% coverage; IntAct EBI-21277437 independently records this target association. This is positive evidence for an associated protein assembly despite the paper focusing on the receptor and dystrophin-associated proteins. Retain the observation as non-core because no ERLIN1-specific receptor mechanism or stable stoichiometric subunit role was tested in the inspected material. The receptor physiology is not transferred to ERLIN1. Its independently established ERLIN1/ERLIN2 complex is a distinct assembly context.

Radiolabeled cholesterol binding is saturable, competed by unlabeled cholesterol and cooperative; the reported apparent dissociation constant is approximately 13.2 micromolar.

Summary: ERLIN1 contributes to sterol-sensitive control of SREBP signaling.
Reason: PMID:24217618 Results show that individual ERLIN1 depletion in human HeLa cells increases SREBP-regulated lipid-synthesis transcripts and lipid abundance; SREBP processing, nuclear redistribution and SCAP inhibition connect these effects to the pathway. Erlin association with the Insig/SCAP/SREBP machinery and altered Insig stability provide a mechanistic account of ER retention. Human ERLIN1 binding experiments are distinguished from native mouse complex and ERLIN2-specific mobility measurements. ERLIN1 participates as an ER-associated, sterol-responsive regulator, not as the SREBP protease or a lipid-synthesis enzyme.

Reason: PMID:24217618 individual ERLIN1 knockdown in human HeLa cells increases cholesterol-biosynthesis gene expression and cholesterol abundance.

Reason: PMID:24217618 shows that ERLIN1 depletion in human HeLa cells raises FASN and ACC1 expression and lipid abundance in the same SREBP-responsive setting. The pathway and SCAP-inhibition evidence support a negative regulatory role rather than direct fatty-acid synthase activity.

Host species does not change construct identity. Independent human-cell interaction evidence in PMID:22119785 supports ERLIN1–ERLIN2 association.

Endogenous staining and cholesterol-sensitive detergent-resistant internal membrane fractions independently support the ER membrane location.

Reason: The author directed-edge tables contain ERLIN1 bait (10613) and C6orf120 prey (387263) in HEK293T at line 51957 and HCT116 at line 13696, with matching current IntAct records EBI-54793945 and EBI-54942295. PMID:33961781 STAR Methods describe human C-terminal FLAG-HA bait expression, anti-HA purification and separate CompPASS-Plus analyses of the two cell lines. The data are gene-level affinity associations, not a purified two-protein assay or a stoichiometric demonstration. BioPlex 3.0 reanalyzes earlier 293T data, so overlap with BioPlex 2.0 is not counted as wholly independent replication. Retain the supported generic interaction as non-core; this screen alone does not establish a specific molecular binding role.

ACCEPT
Summary: The fresh ERAD IBA is a genuine inherited functional context.
Reason: The actual IBD at PTN000794169 asserts GO:0036503 from experimentally annotated human ERLIN1 and ERLIN2 descendants. O75477 lies inside that clade, its target MSA is exact, and no target-path NOT is present. The annotation is not invalidated by self-WITH or by its absence from the older local review. PMID:19240031 Results show SPFH1/2 association with activated IP3 receptors before substantial polyubiquitination, loss of receptor polyubiquitination/degradation after Rat-1 SPFH1 depletion and rescue by reintroduction, with preserved calcium mobilization. This supports a substrate-recognition/processing assembly role in ERAD rather than merely a downstream disease phenotype. The recovered Plasmids and retroviral-expression Methods identify mouse SPFH1 and SPFH2 cDNAs; the Rat-1 depletion/rescue and alphaT3-1 native-complex experiments are rodent evidence for the conserved assembly role, not direct human ERAD perturbations. HeLa tagged-coassembly experiments also use mouse constructs. SPFH2-specific effects are not reassigned to ERLIN1. Complete Methods, figure pixels and supplements were not inspected.

Core Functions

Forms part of the oligomeric ERLIN1/ERLIN2 structural platform at the ER membrane and contributes to its scaffold activity. Human complex-dependent TMUB1-L/RNF170 association supports this contribution without resolving individual ERLIN1 contact surfaces or independent bridging by ERLIN1. The complex supports selective protein turnover: activated IP3 receptor handling is a regulatory substrate context, while separate misfolded A1AT-NHK and TTR-D18G reporter experiments support a modest quality-control contribution. ERLIN1 does not provide ubiquitin-transfer chemistry.

Supporting Evidence:

Binds cholesterol as an ERLIN1/ERLIN2 complex component at the ER membrane and contributes to restraint of SREBP activation and cholesterol biosynthetic regulation. Recombinant human ERLIN1 sterol-binding evidence is distinct from native mouse complex assays and cellular erlin-depletion responses. The precise coupling between sterol binding, Insig/SREBP regulation and cholesterol accessibility for esterification remains unresolved; neither a uniquely demonstrated SREBP scaffold mechanism nor direct ERLIN1 cholesterol transport is implied.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: How does ERLIN1 cholesterol binding couple to SREBP regulation: through Insig stability, sterol accessibility to SOAT1, or separable contributions of both mechanisms?

Q: Which ERLIN1 structural contributions determine cargo selection versus RNF170 recruitment, and can TMUB1-L and RNF170 occupy one functional erlin assembly simultaneously?

Q: For SPG62 variants, how much of the neuronal phenotype reflects abnormal RNA splicing or protein abundance versus a specific defect in erlin assembly, sterol handling or cargo turnover?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Compare expression-matched ERLIN1 sterol-binding variants with wild-type rescue while measuring protein stability, ERLIN2 association, accessible ER cholesterol, cholesteryl-esters, Insig abundance and SREBP processing. Include SOAT1 inhibition and a direct isotopic sterol-synthesis readout to distinguish accessibility and regulatory effects from altered biosynthetic flux.

Experiment: Reconstitute composition-defined ERLIN1/ERLIN2 assemblies with TMUB1-L, RNF170 and a controlled activated-IP3-receptor substrate. Measure partner occupancy, cargo association, RNF170 recruitment and substrate ubiquitination separately, with matched assembly/stability controls, to distinguish a structural ERLIN1 contribution from ligase chemistry and to test simultaneous versus separate complexes.

Experiment: Introduce selected splice and missense SPG62 variants into isogenic human neuronal cells. Quantify transcript isoforms, endogenous ERLIN1 abundance and assembly before measuring IP3-receptor turnover and sterol responses; compare genomic variants with expression-matched cDNA rescue to separate RNA defects from protein-level mechanisms.
