CRLD-1A isoform is sufficient for L-AChR expression based on sensitivity to levamisole.

(A) Structure of the crld-1 locus, which generates two isoforms (crld-1a and crld-1b) by alternative splicing of the last exon (exon 9a and exon 9b). The different Mos1 transposon insertions and the mutant alleles are indicated. kr303 and kr308 mutations specifically express only crld-1b and crld-1a, respectively. HySOG = hygromycinB miniSOG dual selection cassette (length = 2.8 kb). The green box indicates the position of the GFP sequence inserted in the first exon of crld-1 to generate the gfp-crld-1(kr298) knock-in allele. (B) Domain organization of CRLD-1A and CRLD-1B. SP = signal peptide, WE domain = tryptophan (W) and glutamic acid (E) enriched domain, EGF = Epidermal Growth Factor-like domain, EGF Ca2+ = Ca2+binding epidermal growth factor-like domain, TM = transmembrane domain, KDEL = Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu ER retention signal. (C) crld-1 is necessary for wild-type sensitivity to levamisole. Gray bars indicate the percentage of moving animals after overnight exposure to 1 mM levamisole, and black bars indicate the percentage of paralyzed animals. Experiments were repeated three times, n = number of animals tested. p=0,2465, ns = not significant, ***p<0.001, after Bonferroni correction, Fisher exact probability test. (D) Body wall muscle expression of crld-1a but not crld-1b rescues levamisole sensitivity in creld-1(tm3993) mutants. Gray bars indicate the percentage of moving animals after overnight exposure to 1 mM levamisole, and black bars indicate the percentage of paralyzed animals. Two independent transgenic lines were tested for each condition. Experiments were repeated four times, n = number of animals tested. p=0,2504 and 0,5369, ns = not significant, ***p<0.001, after Bonferroni correction, Fisher exact probability test.

- Characterization of the kr133 mutant allele.

(A) Wild-type crld-1 and crld-1(kr133) genomic loci. Only a part of the exon 4 and exon 5 sequence is shown (bold). Regions of the intron sequence (in grey) and of the Mos1 sequence (red box) have been omitted (annotated as ‘…”). The Mos1 insertion in kr133 is located in the fourth exon of crld-1. Cryptic splice donor sites (in red) present within the Mos1 sequence are used at low frequency to generate in-frame messenger RNAs (a, b, c and d indicated by black lines). (B) Alternative crld-1 mRNAs detected by RT-PCR in crld-1(kr133) alleles (a, b, c, and d) and conceptual protein translations. The single-letter amino acid code is under the second nucleotide of the corresponding codon. Wild-type protein sequence is in green and mutated residues introduced by alternative splicing of the Mos1 transposon are in orange.

CRLD-1 is ubiquitously expressed and localizes in the ER of BWMs.

(A) Distribution of GFP-CRLD-1A (left) and GFP-CRLD-1B (right) in muscle cells of gfp-crld-1 isoform-specific knock-in worms. (B) Localization of CRLD-1A (left) and CRLD-1B (right) in the pharynx and in the lateral ganglion (encircled in yellow). The middle panel shows a schematic representation of the locations of neurons and ganglia in the head, adapted from: http://www.wormatlas.org/ver1/MoW_built0.92/nervous_system.html. (C) Localization of CRLD-1A (left) and CRLD-1B (right) in the epithelial seam cells of gfp-crld-1 isoform-specific knock-in worms. Dashed lines, seam cell outlines. (D) Expression of the ER marker TagRFP-T::KDEL in gfp-crld-1a (left) and gfp-crld-1b (right) isoform-specific knock-in strains. TagRFP-T::KDEL displays a reticular pattern throughout the cytoplasm surrounding the nucleus that co-localizes with both CRLD-1A and CRLD-1B signals. (E) CRLD-1A and CRLD-1B from gfp-crld-1a (left) and gfp-crld-1b (right) knock-in animals do not co-localize with a Golgi-resident TagRFP-T-tagged Mannosidase II protein (MANS::TagRFP-T). In (D) and (E), the Pmyo-3 promoter was used for expression of both TagRFP-T::KDEL and MANS::TagRFP-T in body wall muscles. In all panels, scale bars equal 10 μm.

CRLD-1 is required for the stability of unassembled L-AChR subunits.

(A) L-AChR expression is reduced in crld-1(tm3993) mutants. Levels of unassembled UNC-29 L-AChR subunits detected in unc-63(kr13) are further decreased in unc-63(kr13);crld-1(tm3993) double mutants. UNC-29 levels were quantified by western blot using anti-UNC-29 antibodies and normalized to tubulin levels. Significance is indicated compared to the wild type. The significance between unc-63(kr13);crld-1(tm3993) and crld-1(tm3993) is indicated by an horizontal line. Five independent experiments were quantified (mean ± SEM). p=0.6825, ns (not significant); **p=0.0079; after Bonferroni correction, Mann-Whitney test. TUB = tubulin. (B) Remaining L-AChRs exit the ER in crld-1(tm3993). Treatments with EndoH or N-Glycosidase F (PNGase) were performed on protein extracts of mixed-stage animals before SDS-PAGE analysis. Black arrowheads indicate glycosylated forms resistant to EndoH, gray arrowheads indicate glycosylated forms partially resistant to EndoH, and white arrowheads indicate deglycosylated forms sensitive to EndoH. (C) CRLD-1 interacts with UNC-29 subunit of L-AChR in vivo. gfp-crld-1(kr298) animals were crossed with rfp-unc-29(kr208) or rfp-unc-49(kr306) to co-express CRLD-1 with RFP-tagged AChR or GABAAR subunits, respectively. Immunoprecipitation of GFP-CRLD-1 using GFP-Trap beads co-immunoprecipitated RFP-UNC-29, but not UNC-49-RFP. As a control, GFP-CRLD alone was not immunoprecipitated by anti-RFP antibody. A vertical line indicates that the lanes are not adjacent in the gel.

– Measurement of L-AChR subunit mRNA levels.

Transcript levels of ionotropic receptor subunits are not significantly decreased in crld-1(tm3993). Quantitative real-time PCR measurements of mRNA levels for heteromeric levamisole-sensitive AChRs (L-AChR; unc-29, unc-63, and unc-38), homomeric nicotine-sensitive AChRs (N-AChR; acr-16), and GABAA receptors (unc-49). mRNA samples were collected from synchronized L4 larvae. Fold-change, mean ± SEM in crld-1(tm3993) relative to WT is shown in four independent experiments. P values are indicated on the figure, ns (not significant), after Bonferroni Holm correction, Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

CRLD-1 displays putative PDI-like activity.

(A) ClustalO alignment of C. elegans CRLD-1 with orthologous CRLD proteins from nematodes, fly, and vertebrates. The conserved CXXC motif present in the WE domain is boxed. Identical residues conserved in all species are highlighted in dark gray. The position of the cysteine residue that was mutated to generate the C30A mutation in gfp-crld-1(C30A) knock-in worms is indicated by an arrow. (B) Animals expressing the C30A mutation in the crld-1 gene display partial levamisole resistance. Gray bars indicate the percentage of moving animals after overnight exposure to 1 mM levamisole, and black bars indicate the percentage of paralyzed animals. Experiments were repeated three times, n = number of animals tested. ***p<0.001, after Bonferroni correction, Fisher exact probability test. (C) The substrate-trapping CRLD-1 C30A mutant formed high molecular weight mixed disulphide complexes that were resolved under reducing conditions. In contrast, wild-type CRLD-1 did not form higher molecular weight complexes with putative substrate proteins. Total protein extract from gfp-crld-1(kr298) wild-type and gfp-crld-1(kr302) C30A mutant worms were separated by SDS-PAGE followed by Western blot analysis for GFP to detect CRLD-1.
