Quantitative Proteomics Reveals That Only a Subset of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Contributes to the Phagosome

Phagosomes, by killing and degrading pathogens for antigen presentation, are organelles implicated in key aspects of innate and adaptive immunity. Although it has been well established that phagosomes consist of membranes from the plasma membrane, endosomes, and lysosomes, the notion that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane could play an important role in the formation of the phagosome is debated. However, a method to accurately estimate the contribution of potential source organelles and contaminants to the phagosome proteome has been lacking. Herein, we have developed a proteomic approach for objectively quantifying the contribution of various organelles to the early and late phagosomes by comparing these fractions to their total membrane and postnuclear supernatant of origin in the J774A.1 murine macrophage cell line. Using quantitative label-free mass spectrometry, the abundance of peptides corresponding to hundreds of proteins was estimated and attributed to one of five organelles (e.g. plasma membrane, endosomes/lysosomes, ER, Golgi, and mitochondria). These data in combination with a stable isotope labeling in cell culture method designed to detect potential contaminant sources revealed that the ER is part of the phagosomal membrane and contributes ∼20% of the early phagosome proteome. In addition, only a subset of ER proteins is recruited to the phagosome, suggesting that a specific subdomain(s) of the ER might be involved in phagocytosis. Western blotting and immunofluorescence substantially validated this conclusion; we were able to demonstrate that the fraction of the ER in which the ER marker GFP-KDEL accumulates is excluded from the phagosomes, whereas that containing the mVenus-Syntaxin 18 is recruited. These results highlight promising new avenues for the description of the pathogenic mechanisms used by Leishmania, Brucella, and Legionella spp., which thrive in ER-rich phagosomes.

Phagocytosis is the process that enables some cells, particularly professional phagocytes such as macrophage and dendritic cells, to engulf large particles (>0.5 μm). It can be triggered both by opsonin (e.g. Fc gamma Receptor II/III and Complement Receptor 3) and some pathogen-associated molecular pattern receptors (e.g. dectin-1). The organelle that is formed around the internalized particle is called a phagosome. One of its core functions is to link the destruction of pathogens with the processing of pathogen-derived antigens for presentation on major histocompatibility molecules class I and II to initiate an adaptive immune response. The phagosome being highly dynamic in nature, the description of the discrete steps toward maturation into phagolysosome is still actively pursued. The notion inferred from the pioneering work of Elie Metchnikoff that phagosomes are made by the invagination of the cell surface has been extended in the last decade. Indeed, multiple endomembrane pools are now thought to be harnessed during phagosome formation and maturation (1Jutras I. Desjardins M.
