Gene Description

ERLIN2 is an endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein whose canonical 339-amino-acid product contains a lumenal SPFH domain and assembles with ERLIN1 into large oligomeric complexes. These complexes provide a structural platform for selective protein handling and for associations with ER ubiquitin ligases. ERLIN2-dependent recruitment of RNF170 contributes to the ubiquitination and turnover of activated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors, linking receptor abundance to calcium signaling. Erlin complexes also contribute to the clearance of selected misfolded ER proteins. ERLIN2 restrains SREBP activation through the ER sterol-regulatory machinery, while erlin loss alters cholesterol esterification and lipid storage. A role in sterol-dependent HMG-CoA reductase turnover varies with experimental context. ERLIN2-specific native cholesterol binding remains unresolved. Pathogenic ERLIN2 variants cause hereditary spastic paraplegia with recessive and dominant inheritance; their effects on assembly, partner selection and substrate handling can differ. The physiological functions of the reported 152- and 206-amino-acid products remain unestablished.

Summary: ERLIN2 inherits the experimentally supported ER-membrane location.
Reason: Human O94905 leaf PTN002495868 lies below IBD node PTN000794169 in the saved PTHR15351 tree, and its ungapped MSA matches the 339-residue canonical sequence exactly. The source includes human ERLIN1, ERLIN2 and worm ERL-1; target self-evidence is legitimate. PMID:22269071 Figure 3 and Methods assay worm ERL-1-HA expressed in HeLa, not human ERLIN2. Target human ERLIN2-GFP and the conserved membrane-topology experiments independently support the location. No target-path NOT is present; the ERAD NOT branch is a different lineage. The supported natural ERLIN2 location is the ER membrane. Human ERLIN2-GFP in PMID:24217618 shows an ER distribution and cholesterol-dependent mobility (Figure 5; DNA constructs and FRAP Methods). Native human ERLIN2 is independently represented as O94905 residues 1–339 in Reactome entity 8866520, with its own ER-membrane compartment. The membrane association is consistent with the conserved erlin topology established in PMID:19240031, whose Rat-1/alphaT3-1 experiments and mouse constructs must not be relabeled as human assays. This refinement is gene-level and does not establish that every short natural product has the same localization.

GO:0015485 cholesterol binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
UNDECIDED
Summary: ERLIN2-specific cholesterol binding remains unresolved despite positive sterol-probe and mixed-complex evidence.
Reason: The old IBA source is absent from the current source snapshot. The current cholesterol-binding IBD at PTN002692334 is outside the ERLIN2 target path, although aggregate tree labels still mention the term; this establishes a provenance/version boundary, not biological loss. PMID:24217618 Figure 4B and Methods 56–57 measure purified human ERLIN1, whereas Figure 4C and Methods 58–60 measure native mouse ERLIN1/2 complexes. These do not identify an ERLIN2-specific cholesterol-binding site or affinity. The independently read PMID:23396283 supplementary Tables 1 and 3 identify human ERLIN2 in sterol-probe Group III, with strong UV-dependent labeling and PEA-DA selectivity but no threshold cholesterol competition (Table 1: 20, 3.1, 1.3; Table 3 competition 1.4). This supports sterol-analogue interaction but leaves the exact cholesterol-binding assertion unresolved. No absence of binding is asserted. The inherited quotation is preserved with its original reference. Whether the old source context is marked retired is separate integration bookkeeping and is not decided here.

Summary: Specify negative regulation of the SREBP pathway.
Reason: The SREBP IBD at PTN001282580 is genuinely on the O94905 target path, with human ERLIN1 and ERLIN2 experimental descendants; neither self-WITH nor donor count is a defect. PMID:24217618 Figures 1–3 and the human-cell siRNA, SREBP-processing and immunoprecipitation Methods show that ERLIN2 restrains canonical SREBP activation under sterol sufficiency: single ERLIN2 depletion increases target transcripts and SREBP2 processing/nuclear accumulation, while erlin-associated regulatory partners decrease on sterol depletion. The mechanistic role is negative regulation, rather than the sterol-decrease signaling sequence itself. GO:2000639 is a current unrestricted BP term; this is an explicit lateral role correction, not a claim that it is an is_a descendant of GO:0032933. Endogenous human complexes are distinguished from the separate tagged experiment containing hamster SCAP; direct versus bridged interactions remain unresolved.

Summary: Refine the correctly mapped erlin-family ER location to ER membrane.
Reason: Current InterPro IPR033294 (Erlin1/2) matches O94905 residues 1–314 and explicitly maps to ER and ubiquitin protein ligase binding. This is a family inference with target membership verified, not a claim that the whole SPFH superfamily has this location. The supported natural ERLIN2 location is the ER membrane. Human ERLIN2-GFP in PMID:24217618 shows an ER distribution and cholesterol-dependent mobility (Figure 5; DNA constructs and FRAP Methods). Native human ERLIN2 is independently represented as O94905 residues 1–339 in Reactome entity 8866520, with its own ER-membrane compartment.

Summary: ERLIN2 associates with specific ER ubiquitin ligases in its functional assemblies.
Reason: The actual IPR033294 family mapping and O94905 match support the inference, and target-specific experiments provide independent evidence. PMID:21343306 Figures 1B and 2A–C show endogenous human ERLIN2 with gp78 in HEK293 cells and human SPFH2 constructs associated with gp78, Hrd1 and Trc8 in CHO-7 cells. Figure 5 identifies TMUB1-mediated bridging to gp78; these are cellular co-immunoprecipitation experiments, not a demonstration that every pair binds directly as purified proteins. PMID:24217618 Figure 3A independently recovers gp78 with endogenous human ERLIN2. The specific ligase-binding activity is supported without assigning ubiquitin-transfer catalysis to ERLIN2.

Native and tagged ERLIN2 association with erlin assemblies is supported by PMID:19240031 and the human-cell experiments in PMID:24217618. The human Reactome ERLIN1:ERLIN2 complex contains the complete natural O94905 chain. GO:0140534 is a current protein-complex descendant located in the ER; no exact stoichiometry or equivalence of the short natural products is inferred.

PMID:19240031 Results Figures 1 and 5–7 show erlin association with activated IP3 receptors before substantial polyubiquitination, impaired receptor ubiquitination/degradation after depletion, and rescue/assembly dependence with preserved calcium mobilization. This supports a substrate-processing assembly contribution, not ERLIN2 protease or ligase catalysis. The operative perturbation/rescue experiments are Rat-1 cells and the tagged constructs are mouse; HeLa host cells do not change construct species. Human ERLIN2 evidence in PMID:21343306 independently connects its ligase-associated complex to sterol-regulated HMGCR ubiquitination/degradation, with acknowledged cell-context differences. The channel-regulated ERAD and HMGCR experiments do not establish universal necessity for all ERAD cargo.

Summary: ERLIN2 restrains cholesterol production through SREBP regulation and regulated HMGCR turnover.
Reason: ARBA00085017 condition set 0 matches target FunFam and Chordata. In PMID:24217618 Figures 1B/1D and 2, single human ERLIN2 depletion increases HMGR/HMGS transcripts, cholesterol abundance and SREBP2 activation; fatostatin sensitivity and association with the regulatory apparatus support a negative regulatory role. PMID:21343306 Figure 3 independently shows ERLIN2-dependent sterol-regulated ubiquitination/degradation of endogenous HMGCR in HEK293 cells. These results concern regulation rather than sterol synthesis catalysis by ERLIN2. Lipid abundance is not a direct isotope-flux measurement, and HMGCR effects vary with cellular context.

PMID:24217618 Figures 1B/1D show increased FASN/ACC1 transcripts and free-fatty-acid abundance after human ERLIN2 depletion, without increased triglyceride abundance. Figures 2–3 support the canonical SREBP mechanism and association with its regulatory machinery. These are positive regulatory data, not fatty-acid synthase activity by ERLIN2 or direct measurement of synthetic flux for every lipid class. This downstream lipogenic output is retained as a contextual consequence of the SREBP regulatory role rather than a separate defining core function.

Summary: Refine the supported ER localization to ER membrane.
Reason: GO_REF:0000052 describes HPA antibody imaging. The actual O94905 record uses HPA002025, whose antigen matches canonical residues 190–337, and reports supported ER localization in A-431 and U-251MG. The examined A-431 image supports the reported reticular compartment but does not by itself resolve bilayer topology. Raw U2OS staining is separately annotated plasma membrane/cytosol, so ER localization is not asserted to be exclusive. The supported natural ERLIN2 location is the ER membrane. Human ERLIN2-GFP in PMID:24217618 shows an ER distribution and cholesterol-dependent mobility (Figure 5; DNA constructs and FRAP Methods). Native human ERLIN2 is independently represented as O94905 residues 1–339 in Reactome entity 8866520, with its own ER-membrane compartment. The membrane association is consistent with the conserved erlin topology established in PMID:19240031, whose Rat-1/alphaT3-1 experiments and mouse constructs must not be relabeled as human assays. This refinement is gene-level and does not establish that every short natural product has the same localization.

Its O94905 reference legitimately identifies the retained ERLIN2 segment, while modified-sequence records encode 185 ERLIN2 residues plus a 30-residue replacement and 822 FGFR1 residues (1,037 total). PMID:23558953 Figure 2 corroborates the fusion architecture; the paper is not claimed to image plasma-membrane localization and Supplementary Figure S6 remains unread. The Reactome fusion location can remain valid, but exporting it as a location of native UniProtKB:O94905 is a product-specificity error; remove this native-product annotation. Independent HPA HPA002025 U2OS staining is positive plasma-membrane/cytosol evidence, with an antigen at canonical residues 190–337 beyond the retained ERLIN2 fusion segment. That separate observation neither validates this fusion-derived source context nor establishes localization of every natural product. The inherited UniProt ER-membrane quotation is retained as historical natural-protein context, not as support for plasma membrane or evidence that ER and plasma-membrane localization are mutually exclusive.

Summary: Human ERLIN2 is recovered with TMEM41B/Stasimon.
Reason: The actual PMC rendering of PMID:30352685 Results 3.1 and Figure 1D reports human GFP-STAS expressed in HEK293 cells, affinity purification and a follow-up ERLIN2 immunoblot; GFP and untransfected samples are controls and SMN is a negative interaction control. Thus the pair is supported despite the title emphasizing Stasimon and mouse development. The complete Methods and supplementary protein list remained unavailable, so no exact ERLIN2 product sequence or purified binary interaction is claimed. Stasimon developmental or phospholipid-scrambling functions are not transferred to ERLIN2.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: ERLIN2 was recovered in an alpha1D-adrenergic receptor affinity complex.
Reason: PMID:18468998 Table 3 reports ERLIN2 in TAP-alpha1D-AR material from HEK293 cells with 19 distinct peptides and 48% sequence coverage; the current source-specific interaction record EBI-21277437 is consistent with this result. This supports a contextual protein-containing assembly. The functional signalosome experiments focus on syntrophins and dystrophin-related components, not an ERLIN2-specific step. No more specific established GO complex is justified for this exact association, and it should not be relabeled as the ERAD complex or treated as a constitutive core signalosome subunit. The inherited PMID:19240031 erlin-complex quotation is retained solely as historical context and does not support alpha1D-AR signalosome membership. The positive support for this contextual assembly is PMID:18468998 Table 3 itself; the two complexes are not equated.

Summary: Historical aggregate context records ERLIN2 association with RNF185 and RNF5.
Reason: PMID:24019521 Methods and Results/Figure 4A recover endogenous ERLIN2 with FLAG-RNF185 and FLAG-RNF5 from human HEK293T cells, with control-vector comparison. These measured ligase associations fit the existing narrow ligase-binding core, as do the two current partner-resolved contexts. The experiments do not establish that ERLIN2 recruits these ligases to CFTR, catalyzes ubiquitination or is required for CFTR turnover. The inherited module quotation describes the ligase study; the actual Figure 4A supplies ERLIN2-specific association evidence.

Summary: ERLIN2 negatively regulates SREBP pathway activation.
Reason: PMID:24217618 Figures 1–3 show that human ERLIN2 depletion increases SREBP processing, nuclear accumulation and target transcription; fatostatin sensitivity, Insig turnover and ERLIN2 association with the SREBP–Scap–Insig machinery support an ER regulatory role. GO:0032933 describes the sterol-depletion-triggered ER-to-nucleus signal sequence; GO:2000639 more precisely captures the measured restraint of that sequence. This is not a claim that ERLIN2 cleaves SREBP or directly binds cholesterol with the recombinant ERLIN1 affinity reported in Figure 4.

Reason: PMID:24217618 single-ERLIN2 knockdown in human cells increases HMGR/HMGS expression, cholesterol abundance and nuclear SREBP activity. Fatostatin sensitivity and association with the SREBP–Scap–Insig machinery provide a regulatory explanation beyond lipid accumulation alone. Retain the negative-regulation term with the limits of the transcript/processing/lipid-pool assays; the isolated human recombinant cholesterol-binding reagent in the paper is ERLIN1, not ERLIN2.

Summary: ERLIN2 restrains the fatty-acid biosynthetic program in the tested human-cell context.
Reason: PMID:24217618 Figure 1 reports increased FASN/ACC1 transcripts and free-fatty-acid abundance after erlin depletion, while Figure 2 connects the transcriptional response to the canonical SREBP pathway. ERLIN2 acts as a regulator of the pathway rather than as a fatty-acid synthetic enzyme. Retain this supported downstream regulatory consequence as non-core, bounded to the cell-based assays; unchanged triglyceride abundance and the lack of a direct synthesis-flux assay limit broader metabolic claims.

Summary: ERLIN2 is detected in detergent-resistant membrane material from human endothelial cells.
Reason: PMID:25204797 actual Methods describe SILAC, sucrose-gradient detergent-resistant membrane isolation and human-database mass spectrometry. Table 1 explicitly identifies ERLIN2 O94905 (score 793; shFlot1/control ratio 0.58, SEM 0.10, three preparations). The operational raft association is consistent with the cholesterol-sensitive intracellular membrane fractions of human ERLIN2 in PMID:16835267. Preserve the raw HUVEC cell-type extension; these data do not assign ERLIN2 a TLR3-signaling role or distinguish plasma-membrane rafts from ER-associated raft material.

Summary: Retain the ER localization and refine its independently established membrane context.
Reason: GO_REF:0000054 is LIFEdb microscopy of expressed GFP-fusion cDNAs, not HPA antibody imaging. The current LIFEdb resource link redirects to a general proteomics page; the target-specific historic image and tagged construct could not be recovered. The positive compartment claim is independently resolved by human ERLIN2-GFP experiments rather than inferred from that access gap. The supported natural ERLIN2 location is the ER membrane. Human ERLIN2-GFP in PMID:24217618 shows an ER distribution and cholesterol-dependent mobility (Figure 5; DNA constructs and FRAP Methods). Native human ERLIN2 is independently represented as O94905 residues 1–339 in Reactome entity 8866520, with its own ER-membrane compartment. The membrane association is consistent with the conserved erlin topology established in PMID:19240031, whose Rat-1/alphaT3-1 experiments and mouse constructs must not be relabeled as human assays. This refinement is gene-level and does not establish that every short natural product has the same localization.

Reason: PMID:16835267 Figures 4–7 combine membrane fractionation, intracellular detergent-resistant fractions and colocalization with ER markers. The Methods clone human ERLIN2 from U937 cDNA; tagged human protein is examined in mouse NIH3T3 cells and full-length GFP fusions in human HeLa cells. This distinguishes the protein species from the host cells and supports ER membrane localization. The engineered N-terminal targeting probes do not establish localization or function of the two shorter natural products.

Current UniProt Q86TM6 identifies human SYVN1 as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. The already represented GO:0031625 is therefore more informative than generic protein binding.

TMUB1 hydrophobic-region deletions alter association and TMUB1 coexpression enhances SPFH2–gp78 recovery.

Acceptance is based on the measured cellular association, not merely a same-term consistency rule or the ligases’ CFTR phenotype.

Summary: The verified inherited ERAD assembly role is supported.
Reason: IBD node PTN000794169 lies on the exact ERLIN2 target path. The current NOT/IRD node PTN002692340 is outside that path; the worm paper's negative physiological findings are not transferred to human ERLIN2. PMID:19240031 Results Figures 1 and 5–7 show erlin association with activated IP3 receptors before substantial polyubiquitination, impaired receptor ubiquitination/degradation after depletion, and rescue/assembly dependence with preserved calcium mobilization. This supports a substrate-processing assembly contribution, not ERLIN2 protease or ligase catalysis. The operative perturbation/rescue experiments are Rat-1 cells and the tagged constructs are mouse; HeLa host cells do not change construct species. Human ERLIN2 evidence in PMID:21343306 independently connects its ligase-associated complex to sterol-regulated HMGCR ubiquitination/degradation, with acknowledged cell-context differences. The channel-regulated ERAD and HMGCR experiments do not establish universal necessity for all ERAD cargo.

Core Functions

Forms an integral structural subunit of the ERLIN1/ERLIN2 ER-membrane assembly and contributes to its scaffold activity. Complex assembly and partner organization support selective protein turnover: human ERLIN2 depletion impairs RNF170 recruitment to activated IP3 receptors, and combined erlin depletion modestly slows clearance of misfolded A1AT-NHK and TTR-D18G. The quality-control process is supported by those reporter assays; activated receptor turnover is a distinct regulatory substrate context. Individual subunit interfaces and simultaneous partner occupancy remain unresolved, and ERLIN2 is not the ubiquitin-transfer enzyme.

Supporting Evidence:

Restrains SREBP activation as part of the ER sterol-regulatory machinery, limiting activation of cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Human ERLIN2 depletion increases SREBP processing and target-gene expression, and erlin complexes associate with SCAP-SREBP-Insig components. A gp78/TMUB1-associated contribution to HMG-CoA reductase turnover is supported in particular experimental systems but is not universal. The retained cholesterol-binding evidence concerns purified human ERLIN1 and a native mouse erlin1/2 complex; the available binding assays do not resolve ERLIN2-specific binding to native cholesterol.

Supporting Evidence:

Associates with ER ubiquitin ligases, including gp78/AMFR, HRD1/SYVN1, TRC8/RNF139 and RNF185/RNF5, in cellular interaction assays. This is the ligase-association facet of ERLIN2 function, distinct from its structural contribution to the erlin assembly. TMUB1-mediated bridging and complex-dependent associations limit claims of direct binary binding or universal ligase recruitment; the RNF185/RNF5 study tests CFTR processing principally through the ligases, rather than establishing an ERLIN2-specific CFTR degradation reaction.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Does human ERLIN2 itself bind native cholesterol, or does binding require ERLIN1 or a defined erlin complex, and how does that distinction affect SREBP restraint and cholesterol esterification?

Q: Which ERLIN2 assembly surfaces control partner selection and substrate handling, and can TMUB1 and RNF170 occupy the same erlin assembly simultaneously?

Q: How do verified ERLIN2 disease variants alter cargo handling or partner recruitment despite apparently preserved gross oligomerization, and is RNF213 causally involved in the reported Val71Ala cellular phenotype?

Q: Are the reported 152- and 206-amino-acid ERLIN2 products expressed as stable proteins, and do they localize or assemble with the canonical product?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Compare composition-defined human ERLIN2, ERLIN1 and mixed complexes in native cholesterol-binding and photoaffinity assays, with competition, no-probe controls and matched stability/oligomerization measurements. Establish which protein binds before assigning a site or interpreting SREBP phenotypes as binding defects.

Experiment: Reconstitute erlin assemblies with TMUB1, RNF170 and an activated IP3R substrate to separate partner occupancy, substrate recognition and ubiquitin transfer; use the same assembly perturbations in misfolded A1AT-NHK/TTR-D18G turnover assays to test whether receptor handling and quality control use common interfaces.

Experiment: Use isogenic correction or introduction of sequence-verified disease variants at endogenous expression levels, coupled to cargo turnover and partner-association measurements. For the Val71Ala/RNF213 model, test RNF213 depletion and rescue, IP3R1 ubiquitination and half-life before assigning a degradation mechanism.
