Article Abstract
To fulfill its role in protein biogenesis, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) depends on the Hsp70-type molecular chaperone BiP, which requires a constant ATP supply. However, the carrier that catalyzes ATP uptake into the ER was unknown. Here, we report that our screen of gene expression datasets for member(s) of the family of solute carriers that are co-expressed with BiP and are ER membrane proteins identifies SLC35B1 as a potential candidate. Heterologous expression of SLC35B1 in E. coli reveals that SLC35B1 is highly specific for ATP and ADP and acts in antiport mode. Moreover, depletion of SLC35B1 from HeLa cells reduces ER ATP levels and, as a consequence, BiP activity. Thus, human SLC35B1 may provide ATP to the ER and was named AXER (ATP/ADP exchanger in the ER membrane). Furthermore, we propose an ER to cytosol low energy response regulatory axis (termed lowER) that appears as central for maintaining ER ATP supply.

ATP generated in the mitochondria is exported by an ADP/ATP carrier of the SLC25 family. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cannot synthesize ATP but must import cytoplasmic ATP to energize protein folding, quality control and trafficking. It was recently proposed that a member of the nucleotide sugar transporter family, termed SLC35B1 (also known as AXER), is not a nucleotide sugar transporter but a long-sought-after ER importer of ATP.

The unfolded protein response is triggered in vertebrates by ubiquitously expressed IRE1α/β (although IRE1β is gut-specific in mice), PERK, and ATF6α/β, transmembrane-type sensor proteins in the ER, to cope with ER stress, the accumulation of unfolded and misfolded proteins in the ER. Here, we burdened medaka fish, a vertebrate model organism, with ER stress persistently from fertilization by knocking out the gene encoding an ATP/ADP exchanger in the ER membrane, leading to decreased ATP concentration-mediated impairment of the activity of Hsp70- and Hsp90-type molecular chaperones in the ER lumen. ER stress and apoptosis were evoked from 4 and 6 dpf, respectively, leading to the death of all -KO medaka by 12 dpf because of heart failure (medaka hatch at 7 dpf).

In eukaryotic cells, uptake of cytosolic ATP into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen is critical for the proper functioning of chaperone proteins. The human transport protein SLC35B1 was recently postulated to mediate ATP/ADP exchange in the ER; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms mediating ATP uptake are not completely understood. Here, we extensively characterized the transport kinetics of human SLC35B1 expressed in yeast that was purified and reconstituted into liposomes.
