Résumé
The cortical endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an intricate network of tubules and cisternae tightly associated with the plasma membrane (PM) in plants, yeast, and the excitable cell types in metazoans [1-5]. How the ER is attached to the cell cortex and what necessitates its highly reticulated architecture remain largely unknown. Here, we identify the integral ER vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated proteins (VAPs), previously shown to control the composition of phosphoinositides at the ER-PM contact sites [6, 7], as major players in sustaining the ER-PM tethering in fission yeast. We show that genetic conversion of the reticulated ER structure to the cisternal morphology shields large areas of the PM, preventing the actomyosin division ring assembly at the equatorial cortex. Using a combination of VAP mutants where the cortical ER is detached from the PM and a set of artificial ER-PM tethers suppressing this phenotype, we demonstrate that the PM footprint of the cortical ER is functionally insulated from the cytosol. In cells with prominent ER-PM contacts, fine reticulation of the ER network may have emerged as a critical adaptation enabling a uniform access of peripheral protein complexes to the inner surface of the plasma membrane.
